Naruto: I became a super shadow in the Anbu.

Chapter 172 Elder Master

A water droplet appeared in front of Ye Guang's finger. Without forming a hand seal, the water droplet shot out and pierced through a nearby stone.

A hint of envy appeared in the yellow dog's eyes:
"Water Gun Technique, huh? That's a ninjutsu without hand seals. Very good. Let's also spread the word that Hozuki Ryougetsu leaked Hozuki's secret technique, and then launch a fierce attack on the weakest point of the Hozuki clan."

Although she was envious, Ye Guang believed that the yellow dog wouldn't have any intention of stealing it.

Ninjas place great importance on protecting their ninjutsu information.

Someone learned the Fireball Jutsu and wanted to be the only one in the entire Hidden Leaf Village who knew it.

Ninjas do not casually inquire about other people's ninjutsu secrets. If someone tries to find out about a person's or a ninja clan's ninjutsu information, it will be considered an act of hostility.

Ye Guang is quite powerful, so even if someone has any ill intentions towards him, they should think twice.

The title "Copper Fox of the Dark Division" carries some weight.

Yellow Dog came to the Land of Whirlpools to gain merit for his promotion to vice-commander of the Dark Division. Yellow Dog will be even happier if Night Light does a good job.

The yellow dog said, "Fox, you have successfully captured the Double-edged Flounder. I will apply for an S-level mission reward for you."

Next, carrying the sealed twin swords of the flounder, you slowly move forward along the coastline.

I will lead the entire brigade to plan an ambush and try to kill a group of influential people from Kirigakure.

There must be many people in Kirigakure who want to inherit the Hiramekarei twin swords. Whether they are geniuses from the Hozuki clan or other Kirigakure talents, killing them would be an achievement.

Ye Guang was overjoyed; he had secured his sixth S-rank mission.

On the distant sea of ​​the Land of Whirlpools, five large ships sailed side by side, not far from each other.

A soaking wet man climbed onto the largest ship, while the ninjas around him all lowered their heads, not daring to utter a single word.

Kushimaru Kurihara's cruelty wasn't limited to enemies; even villagers who offended him would suffer the same fate.

He went straight to the second floor of the ship.

Upon entering the second floor, the first thing I saw was the Elder Yuanshi on the platform.

After the death of the Third Mizukage, Genji had been managing the village. Genji wanted to become the Mizukage, but the major ninja clans disagreed.

Who knows how long Master Yuan will live? What if he lives for several more decades? How will the ninja clans ascend to the position of Mizukage?

Kushimaru then looked at the clan leaders of the major clans in the front row of the cabin.

The master declared that the person who performed best in the war against the Land of Whirlpools would become the Fourth Mizukage, which was clearly using a piece of fat meat to consume these ninja clans.

Kushimaru Kurihara is a member of the Master's faction, and he is happy to see the ninja clans suffer defeat.

After passing many Jonin and clan leaders sitting on cushions, Kushimaru Kurihara arrived at the front row.

"Elder Yuan! Hozuki Ryougetsu is dead! His twin swords, Hiramekarei, have been taken by Konoha!"

"What!" Hozuki clan leader Hozuki Miyazuki was the first to stand up: "How is this possible?"

He immediately conjured a scroll about half a person's height, opened it, and found seven characters representing the Seven Ninja Swords.

The character '长' (long) representing a long sword and sewing needle, '断' (broken) representing a broken sword and decapitation sword, and '钝' (dull) representing a blunt sword and slashing sword are all very dark in color.

This was a concession made by the Hozuki clan to the village: they would no longer summon the three ninja swords, and the three swords would belong to the village.

After he formed the hand seal, he placed his hand on the character '双' (double) representing the twin blades of the flounder. After a puff of white smoke, nothing happened.

The clan leaders of Kaguya, Karatachi, Terumi, and others stood nearby, all watching Hozuki Miyazuki's blank expression with cold eyes. Hiramekarei, the Twin Blade Blitz, did not appear.

Hozuki Ryougetsu lost the twin swords Hiramekarei.

“Clan Chief Miyazuki, you cannot hand over such important ninja swords as twin blades to Hozuki Ryougetsu just because he is your second son.”

After the Kaguya clan chief made his sarcastic remarks, he found that no one responded. He looked around at the clan chiefs of the Karatachi, Terumi, and Minazuki clans. These people usually seized every opportunity to attack the Hozuki clan, so why were they silent today?

Yuan Shi glanced at Kaguya Clan Chief, thinking, "That idiot whose brain is full of bones."

Master Yuan said to Kushimaru Kurihara, "Tell me the details in detail, without omitting anything."

Kushimaru Kurishari said, "Hozuki Ryougetsu and I encountered a lone Konoha squad on the coast of the Land of Whirlpools, so we attacked them."

A Konoha ANBU squadron appeared.

The rest of the squadron were of average strength, but the squadron leader was none other than the Bronze Fox, who had made a name for himself in the War of the River Country.

Hozuki Ryougetsu told me to flank and kill the ordinary Konoha ninjas, while he dealt with Copper Fox.

The Bronze Fox is very strong. Before I could kill many people, the Bronze Fox appeared carrying two swords.

Seeing that the Bronze Fox was unharmed and its clothes weren't even wet, it was simply unbelievable. It seemed it had easily defeated Hozuki Ryougetsu, so I immediately returned to report.

“Copper Fox…” Master Yuan murmured the name, recalling the information about the Copper Fox.

The Sand Village frontline command once issued a special order: Konoha's Anbu member, Bronze Fox, possesses an absolute defensive secret technique, rendering ordinary attacks ineffective; be careful when encountering him.

Master Yuan said, "Next, we will issue an S-rank mission: select three Jonin to complete the task of retrieving the Twin Blades Hiramekarei."

The Jonin who performs best during the mission will become the successor to the Twin Blades Hiramekarei.

After overcoming his initial shock, Hozuki Miyazuki accepted the reality. Upon hearing his master's command, he was enraged once more:
"The successor to the Twin-Sword Hiramekarei? Elder Yuanshi, the successor to the Twin-Sword Hiramekarei is a matter for my Hozuki clan, so there's no need for the village to issue an S-rank mission!"

Yuan Shi said, "The Hiramekarei Twin Blades are such important ninja swords. Not only did your Hozuki clan fail to create elite Jonin with high combat power when you had them, you also lost them."

This is a disgrace to Kirigakure, and the village should take it over.

However, out of respect for your Hozuki clan, two of the three Jonin will be nominated by your Hozuki clan, and the other will be nominated by me.

If the two Hozuki ninjas you release perform poorly in the mission to retrieve the Hiramekarei twin swords, then you can't blame me.

During the Second Shinobi World War, Konoha had already fought against Kumogakure, Iwagakure, and Sunagakure, and this was when Konoha was at its weakest.

If we can't secure our share of the mission in the Land of Whirlpools by now, when will Kirigakure ever become prosperous?
Every ninja clan and every ninja must fight with the goal of winning the war.

"The Hozuki clan is a hindrance; they can't even wield the Seven Ninja Swords. So don't blame the village for being ruthless."

Hozuki Miyazuki was about to say, "Don't spout nonsense like the Mizukage," but the words stuck in his throat.

The Fourth Mizukage could not be chosen, and Genji continued and strengthened the Third Mizukage's Blood Mist Village policy.

Genji had a large number of cruel and tyrannical Jonin under his command, led by Kushimaru Kurihara and Juzo Biwa. Genji's power was not to be trifled with.

There were also life-or-death struggles between the major ninja clans.

Hozuki Miyazuki thought that since the Hozuki clan sent two Jonin to complete the mission of retrieving the twin swords, Hiramekarei, the twin swords, would most likely still belong to the Hozuki clan.

That damned bronze fox! Once I catch him, I'll soak him in the secret liquid of the Hozuki clan until his bones dissolve.
