Suikazan Fuguki, as a member of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen, betrayed his village by leaking information to neighboring countries and ultimately died at the hands of Kisame, who also took his Samehada.
However, according to the official books, he had been working undercover missions for years to protect the Blood Mist Village. He was highly cautious and had the respect of Uchiha Obito. His ruthless actions were all for the sake of the village.
He was a complicated man. Uchiha Yoru didn't fully understand him but believed that if he truly cared for the village, he wouldn't engage in a lose-lose situation. A short-term loss meant nothing compared to disastrous outcomes for the Mist Village.
So whether he really betrayed the village or was secretly protecting it, he was now in a precarious situation, with ambitions to climb higher and gain more power.
"Suikazan Fuguki, you think no one knows you've been selling information about the Mist Village?" A faint voice echoed.
His face changed dramatically, a strong killing intent flashing in his eyes. Damn it, even the Leaf Village has infiltrated the Mist. He felt a tingling in his scalp, realizing that if exposed, his only option was to defect.
"Don't worry. My teacher Orochimaru was responsible for your information, but he ran into trouble before he could upload it," Uchiha Yoru said, causing him to sigh in relief but also feel humiliated and angry.
His mind was clearly disturbed, and Uchiha Yoru secretly sighed in relief upon seeing this. This guy had been selling information for a while.
He never doubted Uchiha Yoru because when the Root organization was mentioned, he believed him. He knew the Root operatives were ruthless and likely had evidence against him.
"Relax, you know my current situation," Uchiha Yoru said with a devilish smile. "You probably know about Orochimaru's troubles. While I have the Uchiha clan backing me, his remaining forces may face purges."
Uchiha Yoru didn't want to push him too far, lest he defects. Even if he did, it wouldn't benefit him much, aside from a change in Mist Village leadership.
Upon hearing this, Suikazan Fuguki understood. Uchiha Yoru was also an ambitious person who didn't want to be just an ordinary ninja but wanted to consolidate a force.
Ambition! Just like himself, unwilling to give up power.
This moment seems to have calmed his frantic heart a bit, but Suikazan Fuguki also had a grim face, saying in a deep voice: "What do you want! It's not easy for me to act on the front line now, and if it's too excessive, it's easy to be discovered. By then, neither of us will end well."
The Suikazan Fuguki also carried a hint of threat, as if to say don't go too far. If you really expose me, I won't let you off easy.
Uchiha Yoru, however, shrugged his shoulders and revealed a disdainful smile, "You're wrong about one thing, it's you who won't end well. After all, once things go south, you can only flee the Shinobi world, but it's different for me. I have the Uchiha, the most powerful clan in Konoha, behind me."
Damn it, at this moment Suikazan Fuguki cursed in his heart, his eyes turning red, feeling even more bitter inside. These damn bloodline clans, the Fourth Mizukage's policy to weaken the bloodline clans was indeed correct. They have too much power, so he agrees with weakening them, but not with extermination.
"Fatty, I know your ambitions, and I know you want to climb higher. This could perhaps become a bridge between us. You can give me information about those you're not on good terms with, and I'll be happy to clear obstacles for you."
Hearing Uchiha Yoru say such shameless words, Suikazan Fuguki almost vomited blood. What do you mean 'clear obstacles for me'? Clearly, you're just trying to take credit for yourself. Damn it. But he was somewhat tempted.
"Kid, once or twice is fine, but if this continues, how long do you think I can stay in this position?"
Suikazan Fuguki also opened up. At this point, what else does he have to hide? He said directly, your contributions are losses for me. Once or twice is okay, but too many times and the Mist Shinobi will replace him as the frontline commander.
Seeing Suikazan Fuguki gradually give in, Uchiha Yoru loosened his grip on the Kusanagi sword a bit, but his face was filled with a mocking smile.
"Don't worry, I won't make it difficult for you. After all, I know the Mizukage's methods against bloodline Shinobi. I'll help you get rid of them, and you won't have to thank me."
Shameless! Suikazan Fuguki cursed in his heart, but could only suppress his anger, "The bloodline Shinobi of the Mist Village can only be gradually weakened, not eliminated in one step. And what do you want? What must I give to get back my Great Sword Samehada?"
Suikazan Fuguki is not stupid. Once he's caught in a compromising situation, the other party will only get greedier. He's bound to run into trouble sooner or later, unless this kid dies. Clearly, he can't do that yet, so the only option left is to defect.
But he is unwilling to flee the Shinobi world in such a disgraceful manner. And the Great Sword Samehada is his secret weapon; without it, his strength would be cut in half. In the dangerous Shinobi world, only strength can give peace of mind. So no matter what, he must get the Samehada back.
"Rest assured, I just need some good kids, and you should understand this point. Of course, it would be best to have some precious bloodline Shinobi experimental subjects, especially since my teacher Orochimaru is on this island as well."
Under Uchiha Yoru's meaningful smile, Suikazan Fuguki immediately broke into a cold sweat. Forcing down his shock, he looked at the other person, "Orochimaru is actually in the Whirlpool Country too!"
Damn it! I knew it, how could this kid be so bold? Clearly, it's because Leaf's Orochimaru is unwilling to admit defeat and wants to make a comeback. No wonder his intelligence hasn't been leaked. It turns out that Orochimaru is instructing this kid; the master and disciple are plotting something big together.
Obviously, Suikazan Fuguki is misunderstood. He thinks Orochimaru is unwilling to admit defeat and wants to return to the Leaf Village to vie for the position of Hokage.
Uchiha Yoru naturally also noticed the other's gaze and revealed an indifferent smile. As for why he brought up Orochimaru, it was of course for cover.
To cover himself, just in case the other party really goes rogue. If questioned, he could just claim ignorance. After all, Orochimaru would take the fall for everything, and if one were to really investigate, the traces of Orochimaru appearing in Whirlpool Country would not deceive anyone.
"How can you return my great sword Samehada to me?"
After thinking he had figured everything out, Suikazan Fuguki suddenly become timid. He just wants to be a minister, while Orochimaru is eyeing the position of Hokage; they're not even on the same level. Plus, Orochimaru was the Third Hokage's disciple; in family fights, he's nothing.
Any attempt at a 'fight-to-the-death' threat was instantly aborted.
"You can't be that naive, right? Wanting your sword back without giving anything in return?" Uchiha Yoru directly said sarcastically, then shrugged, "Forgot to tell you, Samehada seems to be a living being. My teacher is very interested and wants to research it for a while, so you understand."
Suikazan Fuguki gritted his teeth; he was now completely on the defensive and had no choice but to follow along. Moreover, he secretly resolved that if the other party went too far, he would definitely not cooperate when reclaiming Samehada.
"The signal flare just now indicates that Leaf's reinforcements have arrived, so this war will take a break for a while. We'll contact each other later."
After saying this, Uchiha Yoru prepared to leave, but suddenly thought of something and paused.
"The ninja who ambushed me last time, the one with the shark face and the masked bloodline user, you wouldn't mind letting them go, would you?"
Seeing Uchiha Yoru, who was preparing to leave, suddenly said this, Suikazan Fuguki revealed a bloodthirsty smile, his eyes filled with cruel bloodshot veins.
"Heh, it seems these two ninjas have offended you badly to earn such hatred. Shark Face is my trusted subordinate, named Kisame. I still need people to command for now. Once he's useless, I'll hand him over to you. Don't worry, I can first give you information on him."
"As for the other masked bloodline ninja you mentioned, I still don't know at this point. But rest assured, as the Leaf Village increases its troops, the Kage's orders will come soon. At that time, this elite force will be under my command, and I will secretly investigate and give you the information."
For the two ninjas from the same village, even their own assistant, Suikazan Fuguki, is utterly cold-blooded. There's no hesitation, embodying selfishness to the fullest.
Uchiha Yoru listened and nodded with a smile: "Alright, I'll wait for good news from you. After all, bloodline ninjas in your Mist Village aren't faring well either. Why not put more thought into pushing them out of the frontline and create more opportunities for me?"
Hearing such shameless words, Suikazan Fuguki also nodded silently. He comforted himself that the village's policy is also to exclude bloodline ninjas; it's better if they die. He is just following the village's policy.
"Kid, the secret of the Big Sword Samehada won't stay hidden for long. Once my situation blows up, a new commander will replace me here, and your plans will all become moot."
Now, Suikazan Fuguki has no leverage over the other party. He can only bring this up, "As long as I am here, there will be someone to cooperate with you. If someone else comes, then everything will start over."
"Hehe, don't worry, I trust your capabilities."
How could the Big Sword Samehada be so easily given back? Uchiha Yoru directly nodded with a smile, and as the thick fog gradually dispersed, both figures disappeared into the mist.
At the same time, signal flares lit up the sky. There were signal flares for the Mist Ninja to retreat, and there were also signal flares for the Leaf reinforcements to arrive.
With the arrival of the Leaf's reinforcements, the battle between the two major ninja villages in the Whirlpool Country temporarily came to an end as both sides retreated.
...
Hidden Leaf Base.
"Quick, get the hemostatic bandage, his arm is reattached. What he needs now is rest."
"Yes!"
"Next."
Although the war is over, the intense battles over the past three days have left many injured on both sides. Uchiha Yoru is currently, with sweat on his forehead, solemnly performing medical ninjutsu on the wounded in the rear base.
"For those with severe injuries, stabilize their condition and try to prevent it from worsening. Prioritize and then seek treatment from the medical ninja Yakushi Nono."
"Yes."
Uchiha Yoru continues to issue orders, and his hands are also busy. Although his medical ninjutsu is not as good as the experienced Yakushi Nono, it's still quite good, especially when it comes to suppressing the worsening of injuries.
In the rear tents, there are only medical ninjas and injured ninjas. Screams and wails constantly echo, and the air is filled with the strong smell of blood and medical equipment.
"Captain Kakashi."
"Senior Kakashi."
Just as everyone is busy, a respectful voice suddenly rings out in the camp, while Uchiha Yoru, without lifting his head, is solemnly treating a ninja.
"Captain Yoru." Kakashi Hatake's attitude seems to have changed a bit since the last time, revealing a hierarchical relationship through his actions. He appears very respectful when he arrives.
"How are the camp arrangements?"
Facing Uchiha Yoru, who hasn't lifted his head, Kakashi Hatake solemnly nods, "Everything is well arranged. Teams of lightly injured ninjas are coordinating with the newly arrived reinforcements to adapt to the front-line environment as quickly as possible."
"Good, remember to send additional reconnaissance teams. We must be vigilant against a surprise attack from the Mist ninja."
"I have already deployed nine rotating squads to monitor around the clock."
The surrounding Leaf ninjas see their highest commander, Uchiha Yoru, coming straight off the battlefield to treat ninjas in the temporary field hospital. He has delegated most of his authority to his assistants. He is both performing medical ninjutsu and handling administrative tasks, truly causing them to sigh with emotion.
It's worth mentioning that in this world full of treacherous schemes, ninjas in this distorted world are somewhat naive.
With a slight show of skill, Uchiha Yoru has won countless hearts. Only in this twisted world could this be so easy.
"Captain Yoru, this is the list of names for the current batch of reinforcements. Due to the urgency, they have been temporarily assigned. They will be reorganized later based on the battle situation."
It has to be said, having Kakashi Hatake around really eases the workload. He is indeed the most capable assistant among his subordinates, worthy of someone who could later become the Hokage, although he is still somewhat naive.
