The land of water, Kirigakure.
Mizukage's office.
The third Mizukage finally opened his eyes that had been slightly closed all year and said in disbelief: "Are you telling the truth?"
Of course, he can also understand in his heart that as a member of the Seven Ninja Swordsman.
With Biwa Juzo and Fuguki Suikazan standing in front of him, and the other four nowhere to be seen, this matter had been confirmed to be true.
But subconsciously, he didn't want to believe it, and he couldn't believe it any more.
These are the Seven Ninja Swordsmen!
Even with one missing, there are still six elite Jōnin!
After all, it was just a mission to the already destroyed Kingdom of Whirlpool, and the entire army was almost destroyed?
If the place they were going to was called Konoha, that would be excusable.
But this was the Kingdom of Uzumaki, the Kingdom of Uzumaki that no longer had the Uzumaki Clan!
But the facts in front of him forced him to admit that the land of Whirlpool might have changed!
He took a deep breath. Such a great loss made his head hurt.
The Land of Whirlpool, Gotei 13.
Who is this organization? What is its purpose?
What is its connection to the Kingdom of Whirlpool?
A magical ninja sword, a ninjutsu that doesn't require a seal, and a powerful vice captain.
Even the captain-level characters who don't know that the Kingdom of Whirlpool exists didn't even show up!
Third Mizukage asked his secretary to write down the information that Biwa Juzo and others brought back on a scroll.
Then he asked Anbu to notify all the senior executives to come to the office for a meeting.
When everyone had arrived, Third Mizukage handed out the information scrolls and said blankly: "Let's all take a look."
The other executives looked at the scroll with inexplicable results, and then their expressions became more solemn.
Some even exclaimed: "The Seven Ninja Swordsmen were almost wiped out? The enemy still has no casualties?"
Hearing these words, the faces of Biwa Juzo and Fuguki Suikazan turned slightly dark.
But this is really their incompetence.
Forget it, if you can't beat them, you can't even beat them one-on-one.
After everyone saw it, the anger in the office became more and more suppressed.
At the same time, a doubt arose.
Could an unknown organization be so powerful?
And these so-called ninja swords.
Besides Kirigakure, is there anyone in the ninja world who knows the ninja sword better than they do?
Subconsciously, they don't want to believe it, but the person who suffered the incident is right in front of them.
You have to believe it even if you don't want to.
Third Mizukage glanced at the officials present and said: "The Land of Whirlpool was originally the strategic fortress built by our Kirigakure, but now a mysterious power has appeared."
"And this mysterious power is very powerful. Just by sending the deputy captain, the seven ninja swordsmen are no match at all in a one-on-one situation!"
Speaking of which, Biwa Juzo and Fuguki Suikazan lowered their heads even further, feeling as if they were sitting on pins and needles.
Third Mizukage paused and continued: "In addition, the six ninja swords of Kirigakure have also been confiscated. Please tell me what to do."
Six? Wasn't it supposed to be five?
Unconsciously, everyone looked at Biwa Juzo and Fuguki Suikazan.
When I saw the empty back of Biwa Juzo, I was suddenly enlightened.
Even though Biwa Juzo continues to insist on the aloof and cold persona, he can't wait to find a crack to sneak in.
The Fuguki Suikazan on the side straightened up slightly.
Seeing this, the others followed the Third Mizukage's words as if nothing had happened.
When the Whirlpool Kingdom is gone, it is gone.
After all, there was no place like the Whirlpool Kingdom in the Water Kingdom before.
It's just that this time I saw an opportunity to radiate inland, and I wanted to try it.
If you fail, forget it.
Anyway, this is the way the Water Kingdom has always been.
On the contrary, the six ninja swords are more important.
After all, they are the foundation of Kirigakure's high-end fighting power.
Without the ninja sword, it would not be as easy as before to train ninjas like the Seven Ninja Swordsmen.
At that time, Kirigakure's strength will drop another notch.
Originally, it was at the bottom of the five great countries.
If it is downgraded to another level...
Don't throw away the ninja sword!
However, the forces in the Whirlpool Kingdom are indeed very troublesome.
Just by looking at the description in the intelligence, you can feel how powerful they are.
Gotei 13.
The thirteenth division, with only six vice captains on the field, killed the seven ninja swordsmen, leaving them without armor.
Four died and two escaped.
The two who escaped were still the vice captains and had no intention of pursuing them.
To put it simply, his life was spared.
For a while, all the senior officials were a little worried.
The vice captains are all like that. Doesn't every captain have Kage-level strength?
Crazy, when did the ninja world have so many powerful people?!
Of course, I think so.
But they don't really believe that there are thirteen shadows in this organization.
Even Mizukage is like that.
After all, even the strongest Konoha, a ninja village, does not have so many characters of the kage level.
The third Mizukage knocked on the table and reminded: "If you have something to say, just say it. Don't hold it back."
The leader of the Terumi Clan was the first to speak: "At present, our information about them is still insufficient. Before we know if the so-called Captain of the Thirteenth Division exists, I suggest that we use diplomatic means to retrieve the Ninja Sword.
The Third Mizukage didn't shake his head or nod, wanting to hear the thoughts of others.
The leader of the Kaguya Clan suddenly stood up.
"What the hell, Gotei 13, I propose that we immediately send all the forces of Kirigakure to attack the land of Whirlpool!"
This reckless man!
Everyone mourned in their hearts.
Third Mizukage was also a little speechless.
Although he believes that as long as Kirigakure comes out in full force, he can indeed bring down this organization.
After all, the ninja village has a huge ninja base there. Even with the number of people, one person can kill the shadow with a C-level ninjutsu.
But how could a ninja village be destroyed?
Even though the Water Kingdom is surrounded by the sea, other ninja villages have little interest in them.
But as long as all their Mist Shinobi troops are mobilized, they can see if others can steal from their home.
Mizukage did not accept his proposal, and the discussion in the office grew louder and louder.
But until the sun went down, no suitable plan was discussed.
On the contrary, the suggestion of the Terumi Clan Chief is the most appropriate at the moment.
However, Mizukage did not accept it on the spot, but asked them to go back and think about it carefully.
What if there is a better solution?
When Mizukage's office fell silent again, Mizukage was the only one left.
He stood at the window, staring calmly at the setting sun and opened his slightly closed eyes.
A bright red flashed in his eyes.
"I think I heard something interesting."
At the same time, Hatake Sakumo also returned to Konoha under the protection of the Anbu.
