Oh boy, does this one bug me. I hate Yagura's timeline. So, the manga tells us that -

- Chapter 629, Rin gets killed by Kakashi while being host to Isobu, so it had to be sometime after this, and Kakashi was let's say roughly about 14 at this time if we allow a year after Kannabi Bridge.

- Chapter 507, Kisame recalls meeting Yagura as the Fourth Mizukage, so that had to happen before he left the village to join Akatsuki.

- Chapter 140, Kisame and Itachi enter Konoha in their first appearance. So Kakashi is 26-27.

- Chapter 317, Tobi and Deidara sealed the 3 tails, so Yagura must've been dead by this point for the three tails to wander about without a host.

- Chapter 454, first time we see Mei as the Mizukage, so she must've been appointed sometime before this. Kakashi is between 29-31 at this point.

So this means that between the events portrayed in 629 and 317, there's only about a 15-17 year gap in which Yagura could become the host and thanks to Itachi and Kisame's first appearance, we know he can't of become Mizukage any later than 13 years after the Rin event. Now we know that unlike Gaara or Naruto, not everyone has to be a host from birth, so his age isn't really a factor here, but it means that unless it was sealed into him after he became Mizukage, that somewhere in that gap he had to become Mizukage, cause the reign of the Bloody Mist and then die before chapter 317.
