In Naruto, build the strongest Hidden Mist Village.

Chapter 149 The Road Ahead: Unmasking My Face.

Outside the cave, several pairs of eerie eyes watched, two of which were extremely tense, betting on how many moves Kaguya Naoki could use to defeat Hozuki Mangetsu and Momochi Zabuza.

"Has the fight not started yet?"

"It can't really be true."

"They didn't even need to use a single move; they've already taken them down."

Hozuki Mangetsu felt somewhat uneasy.

That's a tailed beast.

That tailed beast, powerful enough to destroy cities and strongholds, and difficult for even ordinary Kage to deal with, was subdued in just one move?
"Hmph, brat."

Zabuza chuckled a few times.

"It seems you've lost this time."

Hozuki Mangetsu snapped out of his daze and saw Kaguya Naoki's figure emerge from the white mist.

It’s over.

Losing money is a small matter, losing face is nothing.

If Naoki-sama knew that I bet he needed five moves, would it damage his image?

"Give me the money."

Hozuki Mangetsu reluctantly took out banknotes from his ninja tool pouch, only to be violently dragged away by Zabuza.

"Momochi Zabuza, just you wait."

"Next time, I'll make you pay it all back."

Zabuza Momochi snorted coldly, but didn't turn around, because Naoki Kaguya had already walked up to him.

"Naoki-sama, what does it feel like to become a Jinchūriki?"

As Man Yue spoke, she quickly added another sentence.

"I want to become the Three-Tails Jinchuriki, obtain the power of the Tailed Beast, and fight for the Mizukage!"

"Oh."

Naoki Kaguya nodded approvingly.

"Good ambition."

"But who told you I'm a Jinchūriki?"

Man Yue was a little stunned, then instantly became overjoyed.

"Does the Mizukage mean that some of us should become the Six-Tails Jinchuriki?"

"I don't think Zabuza has the talent to become a Jinchuriki. Shisui has the Sharingan and doesn't need to be the leader. Kisame has Samehada and is a tailless tailed beast."

"so."

"I am the most suitable candidate!"

Full Moon's gaze was somewhat ardent.

"Forget it."

Naoki Kaguya quickly interrupted Mangetsu Hozuki's incessant chatter.

"Six-Tailed Saiken can no longer serve as a Jinchūriki."

"You killed him? You didn't even lay a hand on him?"

Full Moon opened her mouth in surprise.

"You still lack imagination, Man Yue. We need to cultivate it more in the future."

As Kaguya Naoki said this, he bit his fingertip, drawing blood, and then clapped his hands together, sending white smoke billowing out.

Seeing this scene before them, the people in front of them had a terrible feeling.

Naoki-sama wouldn't have turned the Six-Tailed Saiken into a summoning beast, would he?

How can this be.

The smoke had dissipated, and the Six-Tailed Saiken appeared before them, with Kaguya Naoki standing on its head.

The rhinoceros tilted slightly, somewhat unaccustomed to the presence of humans above it.

If it were anyone else, he would have already summoned a Tailed Beast Ball, or used his most proficient acidic solution to corrode that bastard.

But that's Kaguya Naoki.

That was an abnormally strong Fourth Mizukage.

That one is very likely the reincarnation of that ancient immortal. He's a six-tailed rhinoceros hound, not a big-faced monster, so how could he dare to provoke him so easily?

"It really is a summoning beast. Turning a tailed beast into a summoning beast, I've never heard of such a thing before."

Full Moon was somewhat speechless.

Only Shisui, watching the scene before him, had a flicker in his eyes, vaguely thinking of the past ninja world's Asura, Uchiha Madara.

That one also treated the tailed beasts as toys.

However, he used the Sharingan.

It would be too astonishing if someone like Naoki could subdue someone with brute force alone.

The six-tailed rhinoceros dog looked at the scene before it, thinking that it was being turned into a staircase, and felt very unhappy.

but.

The other tailed beasts will probably be like this too.

Kaguya Naoki probably won't let this go.

He wouldn't just bully me, would he?

"All right."

Naoki Kaguya clapped his hands.

"Six-Tails, I apologize for disturbing your meditation at the beginning. I was just testing my summoning technique to see if I was proficient enough. You can go back now."

Having said that, he formed a hand seal, and white mist surged up again. The six-tailed rhinoceros hound had already disappeared from the spot.

"Now that the matter is settled, everyone can go and get on with their business."

The four of them became serious and, led by Kisame, disappeared from the spot.

Naoki Kaguya's gaze remained fixed on Shisui.

Shisui, this will be the first time you reveal your headband belonging to the Mist Village.

You'll have to get used to it from now on.

Putting his thoughts aside, he began to carefully consider what he had gained this time.

I obtained the six tails.

The Six-Tails' strongest ability is to create highly corrosive acid. For Kaguya Naoki, who is already extremely familiar with a certain bloodline limit because of Mei Terumi, it is a ninjutsu that he can quickly find a lot of uses for and enhance himself without needing to learn or familiarize himself with it.

and.

He also had an idea.

Once the six-tailed rhinoceros gets used to its current life, a strong acid factory can be built so that the rhinoceros can work hard using its strong acid solution.

No matter how you look at it, it's a future that's definitely worth considering.

He slightly raised the corners of his mouth, realizing that it would still be a long time before he understood.

Naoki Kaguya stopped thinking about these things, turned around, and ran towards Kirigakure.

There's still one patient with a broken leg there whose condition hasn't been resolved.

Compared to the six-tailed rhinoceros hound, the guy in the hospital bed is even more valuable.

That was Yahiko, the leader of Akatsuki, and the person Nagato trusted most.

At this point, he lost both his legs.

Only the Hidden Mist has a chance to cure him.

However, before that, it was only a possibility.

There are still some technical challenges to overcome before a leg can truly be regenerated.

and so.

There is no other way to truly resolve this except for Kaguya Naoki to take action.

However, before successfully resolving the issue, we need to provide some jobs for Nagato, Konan, and the Akatsuki members, who are quite shocked by the current situation in Kirigakure, so they can earn money for medical expenses and also learn about Kirigakure.

Yes, it's the best of both worlds.

As Kaguya Naoki raced forward, he noticed the dense trees around him. His Byakugan was too far away, and he could only vaguely catch a glimpse of a white figure that he thought was outside the Byakugan's field of vision.

It's a White Zetsu.

Therefore, it was Uchiha Obito.

Have you made a decision yet?
It was already late summer of Konoha year 50.

According to the original timeline, it was almost time for the birth of the protagonist of this story, Naruto Uzumaki, and for the entire course of history to change because of the arrival of this prophesied child.

The most crucial protagonist is Uchiha Obito.

Will you choose to attack Konoha or Kirigakure?

I've been waiting for you for a long time.

I've been waiting for you for a year now.

Come quickly.

When you join me, the whole world will usher in true peace.

"The Land of Hot Springs is just ahead."

The others glanced at Zhi Shui, their expressions a mixture of concern and wariness.

Sensing these gazes and looking at the outline of the Land of Hot Water, Shisui gripped the blade in his hand and smiled.

"It's alright. Since we've already pledged allegiance to Kirigakure, we'll have to face this day sooner or later."

"Listen," Kisame casually offered a word of comfort.

"It's nothing, we might not even reveal our identities."

"I have the Sharingan."

Zhi Shui rubbed his eyes.

"As long as there is a battle, I will make sure they know who I am."

"Gentlemen, I am not such a fragile person."

If I absolutely must choose a time to tell the village and the family, I think the most appropriate thing to do is to let nature take its course.

The others smiled.

Yeah!

The headband of the mist-covered figure doesn't need to be hidden.

At this moment, they truly acknowledged Uchiha Shisui. Soon, the ship docked.

The four Ninja Swordsmen silently put on their masks.

The Land of Hot Water is now in utter chaos.

The country is filled with spies and combat troops from various countries, as well as numerous small organizations that emerged among smaller nations after the Third Shinobi World War.

Of course, there are also the poor souls who have to hide in this land to temporarily avoid the wrath of great powers.

They are pitiful, but also hateful; those guys will never give up any opportunity to attack.

For the sake of their mission, they still need to keep a temporary cover up.

"Remember, the Blood Pond and the Uchiha clan are both known for their genjutsu."

"Especially Zabuza, we must be extremely careful."

As Kisame said this, Mangetsu couldn't help but laugh out loud, while Zabuza's gaze turned cold.

But it's not easy to refute it.

Of all the people in this group, he was the most likely to fall under the illusion.

This point is completely undeniable.

That brat got another chance to mock us, how despicable.

"Walk."

Seeing that Zabuza and Mangetsu showed no intention of arguing, Kisame spoke up in a cold voice.

The group slowly entered the Land of Hot Springs, passing through dense jungles and bustling towns, and headed towards Hell Valley, where the Blood Pool was imprisoned.

Withered branches, barkless tree trunks, and refugees collapsing from hunger on the road.

Unlike the still relatively prosperous Yu Country, the area around Hell Valley is completely desolate.

“There are many ninjas.”

Uchiha Shisui said in a low voice, feeling many prying eyes on him.

"Don't expose the blade. Find the weakest group and let them bleed."

"Yes."

Shisui lowered his head, glanced around briefly, pointed with his fingertip, and the eyes of the others flashed, revealing a cold killing intent.

Zabuza is the fastest.

He drew his sword, and without using any ninjutsu, he charged straight ahead!

madman!

The group of ninjas targeted by Zabuza trembled with fear and lost all will to fight.

But they weren't fast enough.

It was nowhere near as fast as Zabuza.

They barely managed to pull out their kunai when the blades were already aimed at their heads.

Ding dong!

Before the sparks even flew, the head was already flying.

Bloody!

Upon seeing this, the previously prying eyes dispersed, and they fled in trembling fear.

"These guys are as vulnerable as ever."

Zabuza casually wiped the blood off his blade and silently complained.

“They killed some lowlifes and then put on airs.”

Hozuki Mangetsu said this, and it was only after Kisame took the initiative to stand between them that the possibility of continuing the fight was eliminated.

"Just keep walking."

Shisui silently tensed up.

Soon, we will meet the Uchiha clan.

Although I say I don't care, I'm actually really nervous.

"Something's wrong."

Kisame frowned, carefully examining the marks on the trees, his brows furrowing deeper and deeper.

"This is not something an ordinary ninja could do."

"I feel there are traces of a professional ninja."

"Is it the Uchiha clan?"

As Man Yue spoke, Shi Shui's gaze turned towards him, becoming extremely solemn.

"Not too possible."

"Judging from these traces, these are definitely not habits that we Uchiha people should have."

"It can't be someone from the Uchiha clan."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zabuza's voice turned cold.

"So, there's another group of ninjas?"

"And the only ones who would dare to get involved in this matter are probably the ninjas from the five great ninja villages. I don't think those guys from Yugakure would dare to get involved in something like this."

"Hidden Clouds".

Kisame replied quickly, his tone indifferent, but no one present objected.

Of the five great ninja villages, Kumogakure is the most likely to be involved in this matter.

According to intelligence, during the Warring States period, the Blood Pond clan had a daughter who married into the daimyo family of the Land of Lightning as a concubine.

Not long after, the daimyo died of illness, and the daughter of the Blood Pond family was envied and slandered, and the whole family was exiled to Hell Valley.

The Uchiha were thus hired to monitor the Blood Pond Clan of Hell Valley.

If there are any traces of legitimate ninjas, it must be from Kumogakure.

"They want Blood Pool to join Cloud Village?"

"should be."

"It seems we've found a worthy opponent. The Cloud Village ninjas are not easy to deal with."

"There's no need to fight to the death; we just need to gather intelligence."

"Of course, if those Cloud Village ninjas really have the potential to win over the entire Blood Pond Clan, we must also step in to stop them, lest we fail."

The group chatted briefly, sharing their stories.

"and many more."

Just as everyone was about to leave, Kisame suddenly raised his hand, causing everyone to stop in their tracks.

"There are many, many people, approaching."

The group quickly investigated.

It seems, it appears, that's really the case.

"Did we alert the enemy?"

"Among those guys, there should be spies from the Hidden Cloud Village."

Kisame looked up, his eyes already filled with bloodshed.

The lion fights the rabbit with all his strength.

"Kumakushi Village probably didn't just send a few people; those guys will definitely have a large army waiting for us."

"so."

Kisame's expression changed unusually, revealing a different kind of color.

"There's no need to hide it anymore."

"If we try to hide it, we won't be able to defeat the ninjas of Kumogakure."

"besides."

Kisame drew his greatsword Samehada.

"Whether you want the Mizukage's approval, want the world to know your name, or don't want to tarnish the reputation of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist."

"Charge out!"

"kill."

Zabuza was very excited.

The full moon reveals the shark's teeth.

Zhi Shui was very determined.

There's nothing to fuss about when you kill some Cloud Village ninja.

"spread."

Kisame gave the final command.

This is the code of the Hidden Mist Ninja.

It means each person is fighting their own battle.

They all committed suicide!
The four ninja swordsmen split up and hid in the dense forest.

Soon, the branches swayed, and the Cloud Village ninjas appeared before them.

very many.

As expected, the Hidden Cloud Village had put in a great deal of effort to successfully accept the Blood Pool Clan.

The four men gripped their sword hilts tightly, no longer intending to conceal their strength.

It would be one thing to deal with ordinary ninjas, but to think of hiding one's strength when facing so many Cloud Village ninjas whose strength is unknown is simply too foolish.

Open your eyes.

As the Cloud Village ninjas began searching his dense forest, Shisui silently opened his eyes.

Those were a pair of scarlet Sharingan eyes!
"It's the Uchiha clan! As expected, a bastard from the Uchiha clan!"

The Cloud Village ninja quickly noticed, but after seeing the spinning three-tomoe jade, they still dared not be careless and hurriedly summoned their companions.

"How could we possibly give you such an opportunity?"

"I am Uchiha Shisui!"

His eyes were wide open, and his three-tomoe eyes sparkled.

With a series of swishes, the ninjas of Kumogakure fell to the ground, unable to rise again.

This is Uchiha Shisui's genjutsu!
The Cloud Village ninjas all stopped in their tracks.

This can't possibly be an ordinary Uchiha!
