But Kaito thought about it again and found that it was easy to understand.
Judging from the map, the location of the Land of Whirlpool is almost close to the mainland of the Land of Fire.
If the ownership falls into the hands of Kirigakure, it would be like putting a cannon directly at the doorstep of Konohagakure.
Especially now that the Kirigakure Village still has the trump card of the Flying Unit, during the war, Konohagakure's eastern front was always on guard but was bombed and forced to retreat frequently.
If this happened in peacetime, I'm afraid all the citizens of the Land of Fire who are within the flying range of the Flying Ninjas would have to dig air-raid shelters first before they could sleep peacefully.
If the technical level of the subsequent Flying Unit equipment continues to improve and the flight range is extended to Konohagakure Village, even the Hokage will probably not be able to sleep well.
Neither side in the conference room showed any intention of giving in, so there was actually no need to continue the discussion.
The Third Mizukage said the last sentence.
"This is also what the Daimyo of the Land of Water meant. You should go back and think about it carefully."
Then there was the sound of a chair being moved.
Just when Kaito was still thinking about whether he should avoid the situation as the two parties parted unhappily, the door of the conference room was pushed open with great force.
The person who went out did not seem to expect that there was a young kid sitting outside the meeting room.
After taking one foot out of the door, the old man was stunned at first, and then a hint of hatred appeared in his eyes.
Kaito didn't care and looked at the two messengers from Konohagakure.
There is no need to identify the young man at the back carefully. With his flying pineapple hair, he is obviously a ninja from the Nara clan. However, Kaito has never seen Nara Shikaku, and this man has no scars on his face, so he cannot be sure whether it is him.
It was the older one, with light brown hair, a beard, and black half-frame glasses on his face, whose identity Kaito recognized at a glance.
‘Mitokado Homura?’
‘Why is this old man talking so harshly? Is he looking down on us Kirigakure?’
At this time, the Third Mizukage and the elder Genji also walked out from the door. Seeing ‘Mitokado Homura who was standing at the door in a daze and Kaito who had just stood up opposite him, they introduced them with a smile.
"Let me introduce you two. This is Elder Mitokado from Konohagakure Village. This is our village young Jōnin, Mirukawa Kaito."
As he said this, he waved to Kaito.
Kaito naturally walked over obediently.
"Elder Mitokado, I have long heard of your great name."
‘Konoha F4, I have heard of your great name for a long time!’
However, facing the harmless-looking Kaito, Mitokado Homura's face turned dark and he replied with gritted teeth.
"The famous Gale Wing needs no introduction, Mizukage-sama."
The Third Mizukage didn't seem to care about Mitokado Homura's attitude at all, and patted Kaito's shoulder and said.
"Kaito boy, you've arrived just in time. From now on, you will be responsible for escorting Elder Mitokado and his party back to the Land of Fire."
After hearing this, Mitokado Homura's face turned even more gloomy, and he just waved his sleeves and left without any grace.
And Kaito was also slightly stunned.
‘What? Didn't they come here on their own? Do they need an escort?’
As if he had seen through Kaito's thoughts, and seeing that Mitokado Homura had already walked away, the Third Mizukage waved his hand casually and said.
"Let's go, let's talk about your next arrangements."
Kaito's brain was working rapidly as he followed the Third Mizukage into the Mizukage's office. Elder Genji also followed him in with a smile on his face.
After sitting down at his desk, the Third Mizukage did not hesitate and continued the previous topic.
"How much did you hear about the meeting just now?"
‘Is the door really left open on purpose?’
Kaito scratched his head in embarrassment.
"I only heard about the ownership of the Land of Whirlpool."
"That's enough."
The Third Mizukage nodded, and Kaito heard it, so he didn't have to explain it again.
"Taking over the Land of Whirlpool is the common wish of the village and the daimyo. The daimyo needs a commercial port city close to the mainland and belonging to the Land of Water. And the village needs to deploy enough manpower on the Land of Whirlpool so that it can be stationed at the front line to launch an attack at any time in the future if a war breaks out."
Kaito also nodded in response to show his understanding.
'Business and military.'
Although these cannot be built directly within the Land of Fire, Land of Whirlpool is close enough to the Land of Fire's mainland. If it can be really controlled, it can even radiate to the surrounding cities and villages within the Land of Fire in the future.
"So, Mizukage-sama, what do you need me to do?"
Kaito tilted his head, not sure what taking over the Land of Whirlpool had to do with him.
At this time, Elder Genji took over the conversation and spoke on behalf of the Third Mizukage.
"You don't need to do anything, Kaito boy. Just send the elder Mitokado to the border of the Land of Fire and take the two members of the Flying Unit for a flight."
"After that, you will return directly to the camp on Land of Whirlpool and take up station. This time, you must bring all the spare flight equipment and the trained reserve members of the Flying Unit with you."
"The village will notify Harusame to take over and organize several test flight training sessions for members of the Flying Unit around the Land of Fire during this period."
‘Oh my goodness, a military exercise! Flying Unit deterrence, I understand!’
Kaito couldn't help but feel ashamed, those reserve members were usually responsible for logistics work on the Flying Unit's aircraft carriers. Not to mention their combat level, there would be no problem for them to fly out and scare people.
In addition, since the ground catapult device is not as complicated to manufacture as an aircraft carrier, it is entirely possible to build several more in the front-line camp on the Land of Whirlpool.
When the Flying Unit is deployed, there will be hundreds of people, and Kaito guesses everyone will be shocked when they see it.
It's just that "There don't seem to be many regular ninjas stationed on the front line. Will this be effective?"
Kaito asked cautiously.
After hearing this, the Third Mizukage waved his hand and said indifferently.
"I know Sarutobi Hiruzen's character. It's just a test flight. He won't force us into the battle unless the attack falls on Konohagakure."
Kaito nodded after hearing this. If it was the ‘Ninja Hero’ Sarutobi Hiruzen before the Second Great Ninja War, he might have forcibly sent people to raid the Land of Whirlpool camp and drive the Kirigakure Village out completely.
But now the "The Professor"？
It is estimated that he will only continue to increase investment in peace talks to prevent Konohagakure from continuing to be attacked from all sides.
After understanding the situation, Kaito felt relieved. In fact, he was not the key to this mission.
To be fair, Kaito is far from being able to intimidate the enemy alone. Instead, the number of flying ninjas in the Flying Unit as a whole is the real bargaining chip at the negotiation table.
"Alright, Kaito boy. Mitokado Homura failed in this negotiation and should be returning to Konohagakure Village soon. Go back as soon as possible to arrange for manpower and equipment."
"Yes!"
After greeting the Third Mizukage and the elder Genji, Kaito quickly left the Mizukage's office.
Kaito thought as he stroked his chin on the way back to the Flying Unit Base.
"The commander on the front line is Ao-sensei now, so maybe it's possible."
