In Naruto, build the strongest Hidden Mist Village.

Chapter 148 Shisui, let them see your headband. Six-Tails, be my summoning beast!

"Mizukage-sama."

Inside the Mizukage's office, Shisui and the other three finally couldn't suppress their desire to go out and have some fun. After waiting for several days without any results, they took the initiative to approach Kaguya Naoki.

"Lord Mizukage, we Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist also need new missions to build our reputation."

"Task?"

Naoki Kaguya was a little stunned.

Right.

It seems like I have to be the one to directly assign tasks to them.

"Have you learned the Flying Thunder God Technique?"

"not yet."

Full Moon scratched his head somewhat embarrassedly. Even though he was the fastest learner of the Flying Thunder God Technique, he was still a long way from mastering it.

That's a space-time ninjutsu; aside from geniuses like Naoki, it's really not easy for them to learn it.

That's one thing, but the fact that these few Mizukage disciples and members of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist repeatedly failed to appear while Kirigakure was frantically building a new era was enough to cause controversy.

Not as good as.

Do it as soon as possible.

"Then why are you in such a hurry to do the mission?"

"We've been idle for far too long."

Full Moon muttered to herself, while Shisui straightened up.

"Lord Mizukage, as someone who wears the Kirigakure headband, I also need to do some things to gain everyone's approval."

"Right."

Naoki Kaguya nodded, quite convinced by this reason.

just.

There was no war, nor any mission worth their attention.

That would be such a waste.

It was at this moment that a thought that had long been hidden in my heart surfaced.

Whether for the sake of stamp collecting or for the future development of Kirigakure, it is necessary to recruit some illusionists as soon as possible.

"You need to do something for me."

Naoki Kaguya pushed all the intelligence scrolls aside, took out a map, and marked the land of the Land of Lightning with heavy dots.

"The Pool of Blood".

The full moon is the fastest to see.

Upon hearing the sound, Shisui was stunned and greatly alarmed.

Blood, a pool of blood?

Because the Blood Pool had not traveled throughout the ninja world for a long time and no rumors had been revealed, the three members of Kirigakure were naturally not very familiar with it.

But Uchiha Shisui was different.

He knew a lot about the Pool of Blood.

After all, it was the Uchiha clan that was entrusted by the Daimyo of the Land of Lightning to guard the Blood Pond Clan.

He stopped the water and had once been stationed at the Blood Pool, so he knew what terrifying power the people there possessed.

If it's just used to add some bloodline limits to Kirigakure, then it's nothing special.

The key point is that the Blood Pond Clan dreams of killing the Uchiha.

If we release him, will it harm the family?

Naoki Kaguya added another sentence.

"We only need to gather intelligence; there's no need to take action or make any unnecessary moves."

With that, Kaguya Naoki pushed the scroll and map to one side of the four people, letting them examine the information.

While everyone else rushed over to look, only Shisui glanced gratefully at Kaguya Naoki and breathed a long sigh of relief.

Naoki-sama is still taking care of my feelings.

She is truly a magnanimous person.

"Shisui, stop spacing out."

Shisui snapped out of his daze, nodded quickly, leaned over, picked up the scroll, and began to read it carefully.

Naoki Kaguya continued to zone out.

He didn't consider Shisui's thoughts, nor did he consider the impact of the Blood Pool on the Uchiha clan.

The reason is simply that the Blood Pool family is far too special.

The daimyo of the Land of Lightning kept a close eye on the Pool of Blood; at the same time, they were also the Uchiha's cash cow.

Naoki Kaguya, of course, didn't care.

What he cares about is...

Since we want to subdue these people, we must first save them from hell.

Only we can save them; otherwise, how can we deal with the pressure from other countries?
"Is this the Land of Lightning?"

Full Moon let out a soft gasp, quite surprised.

"Still from the Uchiha clan!"

The other two, perhaps because their eyes are small and they can only see five or six lines at a time, also rushed to look when they heard the exclamation.

After seeing clearly.

The three of them looked at Uchiha Shisui simultaneously, while the latter remained calm.

"Lord Mizukage, perhaps Shisui should rest first?"

“Even when gathering information, there is a risk of revealing one’s identity. I feel that Shisui might…”

Kisame is a very understanding person.

The water was stopped too quickly.

"No, Naoki-sama."

"I think I'll go."

Shisui lowered his voice slightly, but still looked firmly at Kaguya Naoki, as if afraid of letting this opportunity slip away.

"Are you ready to reveal your Kirigakure headband in front of the Uchiha clan?"

Naoki Kaguya asked with a smile.

Zhi Shui's face was flushed, clearly indicating that he was not yet fully prepared.

That would mean telling his most cherished people the truth about his betrayal; how could he possibly be prepared?

but.

How can we let something like this jeopardize his future in the new era?

Once you've made a decision, you must stick to it.

"I'm done."

Shisui nodded firmly, and Kaguya Naoki gave him an approving look before falling silent, leaving them to read carefully in silence.

"But it seems like there are more than just the Uchiha."

Full Moon muttered to herself.

"Perhaps those people haven't yet decided to cover for you and haven't spread the word, but since you've appeared on the land of the Land of Thunder."

"Those guys from Kumogakure will definitely spread rumors like crazy in order to damage Konoha's reputation."

As he spoke, even Zabuza seemed to realize something, and a hint of probing and wariness appeared in his cold gaze as he looked at Shisui.

If this guy dares to betray the village, he will definitely kill him!

To his surprise, the ninja from Konoha Village remained unmoved and responded immediately.

"Of course there is no problem."

Seeing Shisui's calm expression, Kaguya Naoki, who was very familiar with him, nodded with relief.

Shisui, let the world see what the Uchiha clan will be like if they join Kirigakure.

The four steadied themselves and prepared to continue reading the intelligence.

Just then, there was a rapid knocking on the door, accompanied by a loud shout.

"Mizukage-sama."

Clearly, there was an urgent report, and Naoki Kaguya's expression turned serious.

"Come in."

A somewhat anxious member of the ANBU peeked in through the doorway, clutching a scroll that indicated the highest level of danger. Kaguya Naoki's heart skipped a beat.

Danzo has gone mad and wants to attack us?
Is it the four-nation alliance that's going to attack Kirigakure?
In any case, Kaguya Naoki must make a decision as soon as possible.

"Give me."

Naoki Kaguya remained composed, while the other four made way for him, their own feelings equally tense.

What major event could have happened at this time?
Unrolling the scroll, the heavy breathing gradually dissipated.

Looking at the words "Six-Tailed Rhinoceros Dog" in large characters, Kaguya Naoki felt nothing but disbelief.

Tailed beasts can kill people too?

"That's it?"

After reading the scroll, Kaguya Naoki glanced at the ANBU ninja and placed it on the table.

There was a hint of helplessness in his expression.

These hidden forces still retain outdated ways of thinking and haven't fully evolved, but he can't really blame them.

"Remember, this is a one-time exception."

"It's just a tailed beast. I thought Danzo, the Fourth Hokage of Konoha, had come to attack Kirigakure on his own initiative."

"Yes, it is."

The ANBU ninja was a little dizzy, but he still nodded.

That's a tailed beast.

but.

That's the fourth generation!
"Vulpix."

Naoki Kaguya muttered to himself, glancing at the group.

Why are you all so nervous?

"As one of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, don't you even have the courage to subdue a Tailed Beast?"

"Of course."

Zabuza has a very loud voice. Kisame nodded repeatedly.

Full moon, full of confidence.

Still water flows readily to good.

However, it was clear to everyone that, apart from Kisame's expressionless face, everyone else was filled with worry.

"Come with me."

Naoki Kaguya sighed slightly.

"Although you few will all be able to contend with the Tailed Beasts in the future."

"But today, since I still have some plans for the Tailed Beasts, I won't let you make a move."

"Stay by my side, and once you've overcome your fear of the tailed beasts, let's set off."

"Yes, Lord Naoki!"

The men all looked somewhat agitated.

No need to do anything.

Six tails.

They had some vague suspicions.

Is the Fourth Hokage going to become the Six-Tails Jinchuriki?
If it were the Fourth Hokage, subduing the Six-Tails would definitely not be a problem.

And once one becomes a Jinchūriki...

Naoki-sama's strength will increase by another level!
-
"Is this the Six-Tails' cave?"

Looking down at the forest riddled with signs of decay, then peering into the cave where even the moonlight couldn't penetrate, he turned to the Hidden Mist Ninja and asked them this question.

"Yes, the Fourth Hokage."

"That's the Six-Tails' cave."

"Ah."

Naoki Kaguya opened her Byakugan and looked into the cave.

There, a six-tailed rhinoceros hound was watching the outside of the cave with wary eyes, but instead of attacking as aggressively as usual, it remained restrained.

Tailed beasts are not known for their good temper.

Uchiha Shisui, who could also vaguely detect the Six-Tails' trail, became alert and prepared to make a move at any moment.

"Let's go."

Naoki Kaguya understood that the tailed beast in the cave simply wanted to talk to him.

It seems.

Perhaps we don't need to take action today.

As it approached the cave, the six-tailed rhinoceros began to move slowly, gradually rising higher until it filled the entire cave.

"You guys stop."

Naoki Kaguya looked into the cave and waved his hand.

If it wanted to fight, the Six-Tailed Saiken wouldn't look like this.

If they don't fight, it seems a bit hurtful to make the tailed beast surrender to them in front of everyone else.

That's the guy who's going to become my summoned beast.

"But, Lord Mizukage."

Shisui could already sense just how terrifying the chakra of the tailed beast in the cave was.

The other three silently took a step back, clearly full of confidence, and Shisui had no choice but to stop talking.

"I'm in."

Naoki Kaguya waved his hand and disappeared into the darkness.

The full moon opened its mouth, revealing a full set of shark teeth.

"Zabuza, wanna take a gamble?"

"How long do you think it will take for the Mizukage to defeat the Rhinoceros Dog?"

"Who wants to gamble with a brat like you?"

Zabuza snorted coldly.

"But since it's you brat who's asking me, then I'll reluctantly grant your request."

Full Moon chuckled coldly a few times, but did not respond.

"Then I'll bet."

"Rhinoceros Hound, have you thought about your future?"

In the darkness, a pair of lantern-sized eyes flickered, opened its mouth, and a viscous green liquid fell to the ground, making a sizzling sound.

After that sound ended, a dull sound rang out.

"Water Reflection".

"Isn't my future just about being kidnapped by you and becoming your Kirigakure's Jinchūriki?"

The rhinoceros dog sounded somewhat dejected.

"not only that."

Naoki Kaguya smiled, his expression genuine.

"You can also learn from the Nine-Tails of Konoha Village."

"Kyuubi?"

The Rhinoceros Dog paused, remembering the Nine-Tails' attack on Konoha.

It doesn't seem like attacking the Hidden Mist Village.

The dog thought of Naoki Kaguya and felt a pang of anxiety.

"I can't beat you."

"Could it be that you came here to trick me into a trap so you can beat me up?"

The sirens' eyes were somewhat wary; he didn't know much about Kaguya Naoki.

However, he knew the Hidden Mist Ninja very well.

The leader of the Hidden Mist Ninja should be about the same.

"You are pitiful."

Naoki Kaguya looked at Saiken with the eyes of someone looking at an idiot.

"Do you think the relationship between us humans and the tailed beasts is just a matter of you hitting me and me hitting you?"

I want you to be my partner.

"partner?"

The rhinoceros's expression changed.

He carefully examined Kaguya Naoki from top to bottom.

"Since it's you, then I'm willing. Anyway, you only have a few decades to live."

"now it's right."

Naoki Kaguya clapped his hands and then took out the summoning contract.

"Come on, since you've agreed to be my partner, then sign this."

"and many more!"

The rhinoceros's bark became shrill.

"Didn't you ask me to become your jinchūriki?"

"of course not."

Naoki Kaguya's eyes looked somewhat innocent.

"If you live inside my body, how can we be partners? Wouldn't that be like a landlord and tenant relationship?"

"I don't care about any of that, I don't want to be a summoned beast."

"Oh?"

A strange chakra began to surge around Kaguya Naoki, and several sharp bones burst forth from his body.

"You mean you want to fight me?"

"I."

The six-tailed rhinoceros was suddenly choked and looked at Kaguya Naoki's figure, somewhat afraid.

Those are memories from ancient times.

He always felt that Kaguya Naoki and that person were very, very similar.

The rhinoceros isn't stupid; how could it dare to fight with that person?

"Force first, then courtesy."

Naoki Kaguya smiled apologetically.

"After all, for you tailed beasts, I still need to use enough force to make you listen to me."

"After you become my summoned beast."

"I can promise you that you will no longer have to live in a human body. I can let you live in the environment you like, live the life you like, without humans disturbing you, without ninjas attacking you. You will be free."

The rhinoceros snorted coldly, clearly displeased.

"It's so embarrassing."

"Even if I can't enter your body, I'll at least find another body for myself. I don't want to become a summoned beast and be laughed at by those guys."

"That's not necessary."

Naoki Kaguya shrugged.

"Actually, I will also try my best to make the other tailed beasts my summoning beasts, whether you believe it or not."

The six-tailed rhinoceros snorted, about to retort, but couldn't help looking at the white eyes and protruding bones, as well as the faint swirling bloodline.

It really looks like it.

The six-tailed rhinoceros dog couldn't help but sigh.

"I believe."

"what?"

Kaguya Naoki was somewhat taken aback and silently loosened his fist.

No, how could he have believed it?
"bring it on."

"I'll be your summoned beast."
