Chapter 397: , You Can

Land of Earth, Iwagakure.

In the Tsuchikage office, a short middle-aged man with a bulbous nose paced back and forth in the office, seemingly thinking about something.

He is the undisputed ruler of Iwagakure today—Onoki!

Mentioning Iwagakure, in fact, the situation was very similar to Kirigakure before.

In the late stage of the First Ninja World War, because of the uneven distribution of spoils with Kirigakure, a large number of elites from Iwagakure and Kirigakure died in battle, and the Second Mizukage and Second Tsuchikage died together.

The two villages also formed a feud because of this, and together they stepped into the era of the "Third Generation" in power.

But unlike the Third Mizukage Mizunuki Taki of Kirigakure, Onoki's process of succeeding as Tsuchikage was very smooth.

Because Onoki himself is the grandson of the First Tsuchikage Ishikawa and the direct disciple of the Second Tsuchikage Mu, he was almost trained as Tsuchikage from childhood, a "Third Generation Earth" with deep roots.

Coupled with Onoki's own outstanding talent and high prestige up and down Iwagakure, succeeding as the Third Tsuchikage was just a matter of course for Onoki.

And looking at Kirigakure, the road for Mizunuki Taki to succeed as the Third Mizukage was bumpy, and after taking office, his control over the village was still insufficient, leading to constant internal strife in the village. ===== CHAPTER 399 =====
