"What's going on? The Seven Ninja Swordsmen are our signature force. When selecting personnel, everyone is an elite."
"How could it be that they were all killed by an Uchiha brat? Mizukage-sama, is there something wrong with your information?"
Master Yuan found it unacceptable what the Third Mizukage had said.
Or...
He didn't want to believe it!
The Seven Ninja Swordsmen were not only the symbol of their Kirigakure Village, but also their top combat power.
To be killed so easily by a single person...
This situation would be unacceptable to any village!
The Third Mizukage couldn't give a better response to Yuanshi's disbelief.
Being manipulated, his mind was always in a state of confusion.
At this moment, he could only follow Uchiha Madara's control and said to Yuanshi:
"Whether you believe it or not, the annihilation of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen is a reality."
"In this situation, let's summon the important Jōnin in the village."
As a Genjutsu puppet, he had to carry out the orders given by Madara. He tried to shift the blame for the death of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen onto Uchiha Yuma.
Not long after, several important Jōnin from Kirigakure Village came to the Mizukage's office under the leadership of Gou Tachibana Yagura, in addition to the Seven Ninja Swordsmen.
After Gouju Yagura entered,
He asked politely to the Third Mizukage and Yuanshi:
"Mizukage-sama, Genshi-sama... you suddenly asked me to wait here. What's the important matter?"
Hearing this, the Third Mizukage gestured to Yuanshi: "Yuanshi, please tell them the information."
"Alas..." Yuanshi sighed helplessly. "I called you here because all seven of the Ninja Swordsmen have been wiped out."
"As the pillars of Kirigakure Village, Mizukage-sama and I decided to inform you first."
"It's easy to discuss what to do next."
As soon as Yuanshi finished speaking, Goju Yagura asked urgently:
"Master Yuanshi, what is going on? Why did the Seven Ninja Swordsmen disappear just like that?!"
He couldn't help but feel impatient. As the perfect Jinchūriki, the Third Mizukage was now aging, and was the highest combat power in Kirigakure Village.
He had good commanding power and charm, and had been designated as the next Mizukage by Genshi.
Now, as a quasi-Mizukage, hearing that the signature group of his village had been destroyed was enough to make him panic!
"It's Uchiha Yuma, the kid who killed Biwa Juzo and destroyed the Seven Ninja Swordsmen!" After Genshi responded to Gouju Yagura, he carefully explained the information provided by the Third Mizukage.
The newly arrived Jōnin heard this information, and their expressions changed dramatically!
"How can that Uchiha Yuma be so strong?!"
"That's right! The Seven Ninja Swordsmen aren't just any ninjas. They're the elite of our village. How could they be wiped out by a kid..."
"That's enough!" Yagura frowned and shouted, stopping the commotion: "That's the truth. That Uchiha Yuma, I think, has opened Uchiha's ultimate power... Mangekyō Sharingan!"
"Otherwise, it would be impossible to annihilate all seven Ninja Swordsmen."
"Mangekyō Sharingan?" Master Yuan heard what Gouju Yagura said and immediately shouted impatiently: "Yagura... where did you get this judgment?"
Genshi, a contemporary of Kirigakure and the Third Generation project, had lived through the era when the Ninja Villages first began.
What Mangekyō Sharingan stood for...
He knew it all too well!
"Well! There's no doubt... Isobu told me..." Gouju Yagura said in a deep voice. "Uchiha can only do this by opening those incredible eyes."
Everyone present knew what kind of existence the perfect Jinchūriki was.
This was the state achieved through a mutually trusting partnership with the tailed beast's spirit.
And the tailed beast...
As an existence that had lived from ancient times to the present day,
Its words were presumed to be infallible.
Besides, there was no reason for it to deceive humans!
"Mangekyō Sharingan?" The manipulated Third Mizukage pretended to sigh. "This kind of power must be eliminated. From now on, the village's power should be concentrated on dealing with this kid."
"Mizukage-sama! This is impossible!" Genshi heard this and became anxious on the spot. "Uchiha with the Mangekyō Sharingan is invincible. We should avoid its edge rather than confront it head-on!"
"What you said makes sense, but I am Mizukage, and this is the order from Mizukage!"
Immediately, Yuanshi and Mizukage began to argue over this issue.
The news of the annihilation of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen and the Uchiha Yuma group's involvement began to spread through Kirigakure Village.
Its reputation officially resounded throughout the Land of Blood!
On the other side,
The Leaf Village wasn't much better.
The report on Danzo's impeachment, along with the entire coastline camp, was delivered to Sarutobi Hiruzen's desk at the same time.
"Huh~" Exhaling the last puff of smoke, Sarutobi Hiruzen put down his pipe.
He raised his eyes and stared sharply at Danzo: "Do you have anything to defend?"
"Hmph~! No!!!" Danzo snorted angrily. "Everything I do is for Konoha!"
This was a lie.
He knew in his heart that he had acted this way out of his own prejudices.
Bang--!
"Danzo~! Is this what you said when facing us?" Sarutobi Hiruzen was a little angry and slammed the table. "Joining forces with outsiders to strangle your companions—your actions are already an act of treason against the village."
"I am doing the right thing. Please read the report carefully. This kid has activated Mangekyō Sharingan. Doesn't this mean that... his evil has penetrated deep into his bones?!"
"And the evil Uchiha must be brought to justice!" Danzo explained ferociously to Sarutobi Hiruzen.
Hearing this, Sarutobi Hiruzen made no comment.
Mangekyō Sharingan...
He knew this kind of power all too well, having lived through that era.
There was also his teacher Senju Tobirama's research, which he had read.
He had anticipated this when Uchiha Yuma first showed his unparalleled talent.
He predicted that this kid might become as strong as Uchiha Madara.
But the teenage Mangekyō Sharingan was truly unheard of!
For this information, Sarutobi Hiruzen could only sigh.
Yuma was so terrifying.
Fortunately, he is his disciple and grandson.
There is no need to take any precautions.
It's very simple: whatever dazzling achievements he makes,
As the pinnacle of the current master-disciple lineage, he will share a glimmer of glory.
When his interests are not harmed, he will not care about what Danzo says.
What is evil is not evil.
He's been Hokage for decades, and he still can't see through it?
His teacher, Senju Tobirama...
Isn't it just because of the thousand-year feud with Uchiha?
In addition, many of his brothers were killed by Uchiha, so he said such heart-wrenching words!
"I've listened to your sophistry, so please don't take up the leadership position at the root for the time being."
"I can't suppress the news that dozens of Jōnin have signed a petition to impeach you."
"You should shut up at home and think about it for a while before we talk!"
Seeing that Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't care at all about what he said,
Danzo's mood shifted inexplicably:
"That boy is really dangerous. If you don't listen to me, you will regret it in the future... Hiruzen!"
Hearing this, Sarutobi Hiruzen lowered his eyes, feeling extremely bored with Danzo's behavior of still resisting at this moment.
"Shut up, Danzo. Whatever the specific situation is, I will make a corresponding judgment. You don't need to tell me what to do."
"You know, I am the Hokage!"
Bang!
As soon as he finished speaking, Danzo slammed the door and left.
