Chapter 144 Heading to the Mist Village

"Whoa!"

Blood seeped out from under the mask. Kurishan Kushimaru's tall and thin body was almost broken in two by Tsunade's punch. The whole person was bent at a sharp angle and crashed into the city wall again with a loud bang.

At this moment, three members of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen were lying on the city wall. After being hit by Kurisai Kushimaru, the city wall, which had suffered so many disasters, finally collapsed with a loud crash.

The remaining four members of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen felt their hands and feet go cold and their heads dizzy when they saw the majestic Tsunade in front of them.

The Watermelon Mountain Puffer Ghost gasped and looked at Biwa Juzang, only to see that Biwa Juzang was also looking at him with a wandering gaze. The two of them looked at each other and both wanted to retreat.

In fact, there are more than just Xiguashan Puffer Ghosts. Black Hoe Raiga holding the Thunder Blade and Ghost Lantern Lengyue holding the double-bladed Flounder are the standard blood mist ninjas who kill with their minds, but they are not really brainless!
With Tsunade's strength, it doesn't matter whether she can use Wood Release or not - they will definitely not be able to beat her anyway! The opponent can easily defeat them with her super strength and physical fitness alone.

However, the Seven Ninja Swordsmen wanted to retreat, but they had to get past Tsunade first. The requirement Tsunade got from Uchiha Toba was to catch them all in one fell swoop!

After all, she was a ninja who had fought many battles and rolled on the battlefield many times. Tsunade saw at a glance that the remaining four members of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen were retreating, and a slight smile appeared on the corner of her mouth:
"You want to run away...don't dream on! All of you stay here!"

"Wood Release - Tree World Descent Technique!"

With rumbling sounds, countless huge trees grew out of the ground. In the desperate eyes of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen, the endless trees, like a huge green wave, rushed down directly towards them!

……

"Master Kari! The chakra of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen has become very weak. I'm afraid they are either seriously injured or sealed!"

"Let's go! Let's retreat quickly!"

Looking at the forest that suddenly appeared in the distance and listening to the report of his perception ninja, the Explosion Ninja Hunter prepared to flee the scene with his demolition team without saying a word.

"The Fifth Hokage has indeed awakened Wood Release... Although I don't know if his Wood Release level can match that of the First Hokage, this is not something we can test out."

"It took only five minutes for the Seven Ninja Swordsmen to be captured from the beginning of the battle! Fortunately, we did not interfere, otherwise, even if we joined forces with the Seven Ninja Swordsmen, we would probably be wiped out in the end."

Anyway, no matter what level of Wood Release the Fifth Hokage is, it is obvious that it is easy for him to defeat an ordinary Seven Ninja Swordsmen and the Blast Corps. For these Iwagakure Ninjas, getting such news means they are not returning empty-handed.

"We have to thank the idiots of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen for helping us explore the way first. Otherwise, the arrival of the tree world would probably fall on us."

Shou said as he turned around, but as soon as he turned around, he saw a Konoha ninja wearing an ANBU mask standing behind him.

"Konoha's Anbu? What do you want to do by stopping us? Does Konoha want to go to war with the Iwagakure?"

Shou's face darkened slightly, and he spoke in a low voice, if it were an ordinary Konoha Anbu, after hearing what he said, they might not dare to go to war with them.

Unfortunately... a flash of red light flashed in the eyes of the Anbu in front of him, which shocked Shou:
"Oh no...it's the Uchiha clan..."

With a series of thumping sounds, the Rock Ninja's blasting troops were instantly wiped out. All of them were deprived of their five senses by Uchiha Feiyu and fell to the ground.

"Such a longwinded guy, does he think I'm a fool? Even an idiot can see that you have bad intentions!"

Uchiha Feiyu muttered a few words. He didn't care about the intrigues between the ninja villages, and he didn't even think about that aspect - in his eyes, the entire ninja world would soon become his vegetable garden, so naturally he wouldn't care about the current conflicts among these leeks.

At this time, Tsunade also came over with her captives. The Seven Ninja Swordsmen were entangled in a large net made of vines. At the front end of the net, a long vine was grabbed by Tsunade and dragged forward on the ground.

"Okay, I've captured all the Seven Ninja Swordsmen alive. What should I do next?"

Tsunade put down the vine, clapped her hands and asked. Uchiha Feiyu glanced at the unlucky Seven. Several members of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen who had been hit by Tsunade's fist were breathing out more than breathing in.

"Let's give them first aid! Then I'll use the Soul-Transforming Technique to turn them into my own, the Mist Ninja... Mei Terumi should be about seventeen or eighteen years old now, right?"

"I don't know if she has the strength of a Kage now. If not, it doesn't matter. At most, I can practice dual cultivation with her and feed her some pills. Then her strength will naturally increase greatly."

Because the Mist Ninja is far away from the mainland, no one knows what its current situation is. However, there were vague rumors during the Ninja World War that the Third Mizukage had been controlled by illusion for a long time, and that the sober Third Mizukage wanted to end the blood mist policy.

Uchiha Feiyu estimated that it was because he killed Uchiha Madara that the Third Mizukage woke up from the illusion. Also because of this change, he couldn't refer to the original work to find out what the Mist Village looked like today.

But no matter whether it is the Third or Fourth Mizukage who is in charge now, it makes no difference to Uchiha Feiyu. It's just that compared to the Third Mizukage, the Fourth Mizukage may be easier to deal with.

After all, the Third Mizukage must have been frightened by the illusion and was definitely prepared in this regard. It would not be easy to kill him reasonably. The Fourth Mizukage was a Jinchūriki and could be easily killed with the excuse of the tailed beast going berserk.

Before that, controlling the Seven Ninja Swordsmen was also a backup plan for Uchiha Tobi. If the Third Generation was not dead yet and refused to listen, he would let the Seven Ninja Swordsmen rebel and then give them some fuel, and he would not have to worry about his own death.

As for the Iwagakure blasting troop... Uchiha Touha glanced at them and said to Tsunade:

"Tsunade, I'll leave these people to you! How are you going to deal with them?"

"Leave it to me? If it were me, I would probably use these people to make some exchanges of interests with the Iwagakure!" Tsunade thought for a moment and gave the answer that best suited her current status. Uchiha Feiyu nodded slightly, not caring what these guys could exchange for, and said directly:

"Then I'll leave it to you, Tsunade... By the way, these guys should have Explosion Release Bloodline Limit!"

Uchiha Feiyu suddenly remembered this question, and Tsunade answered it carefully:
"The Iwagakure ninja's blasting troop... most of their Explosion Style Bloodline Genkai have some flaws. It seems that except for Kari, everyone else must use some external objects to use Explosion Style Bloodline Genkai."

"Use external objects..."

After hearing Tsunade's words, Uchiha Feiyu immediately thought of a certain artist Deidara. Deidara's explosive style used pure clay external objects, but this guy played with the detonating clay external objects in a variety of ways, which was definitely not something that ordinary members of the demolition corps could compare to.

Even the leader of this blasting unit, Kari, who has a perfect Explosion Release Kekkei Genkai, is far from Deidara. Even an ordinary Kage-level ninja, if he is not proficient in the restraining ninjutsu such as Lightning Release, is no match for Deidara.

Deidara's performance perfectly illustrates that there are no perfect ninjutsu, only perfect people. However, it is obvious that other ninjas in the demolition team certainly do not have such talent. Uchiha Feiyu still turned his gaze to Kari.

In the past, if Uchiha Feiyu wanted to awaken the escapades-type bloodline limit, he had to use the souls of those bloodline limit ninjas. But now he is also a Six Paths-level ninja. As long as he knows the practice method, he can practice the general escapades-type synthetic bloodline limit with a little effort.

With his level of illusion skills, it would be easy for him to dig out the training method from Shou's head.

Three days later, Uchiha Toba and others finally returned to the Konoha Village. As for the Seven Ninja Swordsmen and the Blast Squadron, they had already been sent to prison by Uchiha Toba using the Flying Thunder God Technique.

After returning to Konoha, Tsunade held a ceremony to take over as Hokage. Although she was originally the acting Hokage, she did not hold the position formally, so there was no ceremony. It was just right that she was made up for it this time.

The ceremony was held during the day, and at night her gambling addiction struck again. She played a game with Uchiha Feiyu, and ended up dying several times. Only after she broke through ten positive characters on her body did she completely calm down.

After staying in the Konoha Village for seven or eight days, Uchiha Feiyu played with Konoha's Dinglu several times, and after arranging tasks for Tsunade, he took the Seven Ninja Swordsmen to the Mist Village to prepare to implement his plan.

The Kirigakure is isolated overseas, with more than enough defense but less than enough attack. It is the only ninja village among the five major ninja villages that has never been invaded by other ninja villages.

It is not an easy task for ordinary ninjas to sneak into the Water Kingdom through the vast ocean. After all, there is no land connection. As long as the Water Kingdom does a good job of inspecting the ships, the vast majority of ordinary ninjas will be helpless.

However, Uchiha Feiyu is certainly not an ordinary ninja, and the ninjas who are inspecting the Water Country dock cannot possibly find any trace of Uchiha Feiyu.

Not to mention that the Seven Ninja Swordsmen were very famous. As soon as these seven people got off the boat, the checking ninjas had already retreated respectfully.

The atmosphere in the previous Konoha Village was different from that in the previous Konoha Village. Even though there was a lot of darkness at its roots, it would never be brought to the surface.

Even Danzo knew that the darkness of the Root could not be exposed to the sunlight. After becoming the 5.5th Hokage, he still yearned for light instead of following the Root's simple and crude methods.

However, the Mist Village is basically an enlarged Root. The mere fact that one must kill their closest companions upon graduation is full of the Root's cold-blooded style.

What's even more tragic is that the Root at least has Danzo Shimura as its boss, and the other Root ninjas only need to obey his orders, but the Mist Village is full of mountains and is extremely chaotic.

So here in the Mist Village it is all about the survival of the fittest, there are no rules at all, or whoever has the bigger fist rules the day!

In the past, if the Seven Ninja Swordsmen were unhappy with the ninja they were inspecting and simply chopped him to pieces, it would be a minor punishment at most. In fact, if the excuse was good enough, they wouldn't even be punished.

After waking up from the illusion, the Third Mizukage was determined to make new plans and work hard to reform, but after all, decades of accumulated problems were difficult to reverse. In such a short period of time, these ordinary ninjas did not change their mindsets at all. How could they dare to check on the Seven Ninja Swordsmen?
Soon, the Seven Ninja Swordsmen returned to the gate of the Mist Village. Under the control of Uchiha Feiyu's illusion, the seven people behaved as usual. The ninjas guarding the gate did not dare to stop these seven gentlemen, and did not find any problems and let the seven people enter the Mist Village directly.

"The current Mist Ninja is still the Third Mizukage... and after this guy's illusion was broken, he didn't abdicate?"

"The policies of the Third Mizukage did increase some of the strength of the Mist Village, and he was only slightly hinted at, so he leaned towards the Blood Mist policy. In fact, there was nothing wrong with most of his decisions."

"If the Third Mizukage really was completely brainless, then the Elder Yuanshi and the many bloodline families in the village would have probably found a way to get him out of office long ago!"

The one who respectfully answered Uchiha Feiyu's question was Xiguashan Puffer Demon, the owner of the large sword Samehada, who vaguely occupied the C position among the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Ninja Swordsmen. Apart from his strength being stronger than the other Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Ninja Swordsmen, the most important thing was his delicate mind, which was completely different from his fat appearance.

Since the atmosphere of the Mist Village is similar to that of the Root, the problems it faces are naturally similar. There are a lot of ninjas who can kill people, but you can't find one ninja with brains among 100 ninjas. There are even fewer ninjas like the Xiguashan Pufferfish Demon who can fight and have brains.

For example, the other members of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen, when Uchiha Toba and Xiguashan Pufferfish were talking, they all showed clear and stupid eyes. Only Biwa Juzo and the ninja from the Kidō clan were slightly better.

"I see……"

Uchiha Feiyu nodded. Obviously compared to Uchiha Obito's brainless behavior of venting his personal anger, Uchiha Madara was much more rational. Although he created a bloody mist atmosphere in order to control the Mist Village, he did not want to weaken the power of the Mist Village.

"It seems that although the policies implemented by the Third Mizukage have some problems, he still has a certain prestige in your village..."

"That's true. Moreover, the Third Mizukage is also the strongest ninja in our village. He was able to implement the Blood Mist Policy because of his powerful strength!"

His strength, prestige, or at least his ferocious power, can intimidate the entire ninja village...so this guy deserves to die. If he doesn't die, how can the person he favors take the position?
