I unleashed a Hundred Demons Parade in the Ninja World

However, this time, he did not use the power of the Firefly Grass.

It is a whale.

Because in a sense, Hozuki Mangetsu, whose entire body transforms into water, is quite compatible with this ocean-dwelling yokai.

【Ghostly Entanglement - Water Moon Fusang!】

[Secret Technique: Body Armor!]

As ripples spread across his body, Hozuki Mangetsu felt a pure water-attribute chakra gently healing his ailing body.

Even the numbness from being struck by lightning was soothed during this time.

"What do you want?"

Hozuki Mangetsu, now back to normal, felt a mix of emotions.

However, it's truly impossible for him to express gratitude or pledge his loyalty.

Therefore, he could only repeat the question he had asked earlier.

"It's simple, become the captain of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist."

"Of course, they are not from Kirigakure, but from my Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist."

Arakawa casually tossed the Twin Blades - Hiramekarei and the Ninja Sword Scroll back.

This wasn't just something I said offhand; it was the result of careful consideration.

First, of the seven ninja swords with special abilities, apart from Samehada, the other six, including Kiba, were under the control of his subordinates.

Of course, it's still impossible to pay it back.

Then let's form our own Ninja Swordsmen.

As for the captain of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, Zabuza Momochi was actually a good candidate. He had the strength and ability, but he was sometimes too extreme in his actions. His actions of instigating a rebellion and attacking the Fourth Mizukage were the best examples.

White.

He wanted to give the long sword and sewing needle to the other party, since the other party was also a master of using senbon.

But let's not even talk about that guy's personality. He's too kind and somewhat dependent on Zabuza Momochi. As a captain, he might have some difficulty taking care of the overall situation.

Raiga Kurosuki (after being recruited by Chino) is relatively weak in strength and only secured his position in the Ninja Swordsmen with Ranmaru's assistance, so he can be excluded.

Ringo Ameyuri is quite strong, capable, and has an excellent overall perspective and keen insight.

However, it has a fatal flaw.

That's the upper limit.

Without any special physique or bloodline limit, relying solely on lightning release, her potential is destined to be limited.

It seems fine now, but once Haku is able to stand on her own or Hozuki Mangetsu overcomes her weaknesses, her presence will become somewhat awkward.

Kaguya Kimimaro.

First of all, he doesn't use ninja swords; his own bones are his best weapon.

Furthermore, his somewhat taciturn and withdrawn personality also destined him to be unsuitable for becoming a captain-level figure who could command the overall situation.

Therefore, in the end, Hozuki Full Moon is the only option.

With sufficient strength and a potential even higher than Ringo Ameyuri, he is hailed as a prodigy, which is the best affirmation Kirigakure can give him.

Although judging from the battle just now, this guy was indeed a bit too confident, but isn't that the best attitude for a young man?

Unruly and untamed, the best in the world.

And most importantly, this is just my own wild idea.

He will not go to the place where the Ninja Swordsmen are pre-determined to lead.

In the world of ninjas, let's prove and acquire things in the ninja way!

Everything comes down to ability!

"The captain of the Ninja Swordsmen?"

Hozuki Mangetsu murmured, seemingly not quite understanding the meaning of the sentence.

After all, the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist are the symbol of Kirigakure!

Other factions' Ninja Swordsmen?

Perhaps they are not even worthy of mentioning this name.

"Yes, Zabuza Momochi, Ameyuri Ringo, and a bloodline limit user who is skilled in ice release will all be your competitors."

"Oh, if Kimimaro wants to play, then so be it."

"What, are you scared?"

He spoke casually, his eyes filled with undisguised contempt.

To be honest, when Hozuki Mangetsu heard Zabuza's name, the shock he felt was indescribable. Zabuza was an absolute powerhouse who had experienced countless battles!

It even possesses the terrifying title of "Demon Man"!

But what if I'm afraid?

That word doesn't even exist in his dictionary!

Even if it's Zabuza Momochi, so what? Even if it's Ringo Ameyuri, who is his natural counter, so what?

"I will inevitably rise above them."

"Before that, you should just pray that the secret technique can last until then!"

Hozuki Mangetsu growled.

Becoming the leader of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist was once his dream!

"Ah."

Huang gave a soft hum and then conjured a snow-white little rabbit.

This is a spirit beast used by Bai for reconnaissance and message transmission.

"Then, go with it. Zabuza will tell you what to do next."

After saying that, he walked alone toward the battlefield.

In this war, he had obtained everything he wanted.

Now, it's time to fulfill the promise.

Chapter 204 Target Changed: Hunting Uchiha Ara! (Bonus chapter for Alliance Leader oO Rimuru Oo!)

【No. 】

【No. 】

【No! 】

As Xi wandered through the battlefield, he frowned and casually threw a kunai, which accurately pierced the heart of the Konoha ninja who was trying to ambush him.

How could there not be?

Disguised as a Hidden Mist ninja, he had searched the entire battlefield, but still couldn't find Qing's figure.

That guy was the first prey that Lord Raikage had set out to catch.

It is prey that surpasses even Uchiha Ara and Kaguya's Shikotsumyaku!

However, they have now found traces of the latter two, but the most crucial one, Qing, seems to have vanished into thin air and has not been found.

But logically, this shouldn't be the case!

That guy is the vanguard commander of Kirigakure; he would never leave the battlefield without permission.

unless........

Xi's brows furrowed even more; he really didn't want to continue this speculation.

Because this would mean that someone has already taken advantage of the chaos and reaped the rewards!

No.

impossible.

As this thought began to creep in, the handsome young man, who had deliberately smeared his cheeks with black ink and wore a blood-stained headscarf, kept denying it to himself.

You should know that Commander Qing's forces consist of hundreds of elite members of the Mist Village who are skilled in assassination!

To break through the "Mist Concealment Technique" created by these elites and take the general's head is simply unimaginable.

Moreover, Ao himself is quite strong, and he has also transplanted the Byakugan from the Hyuga clan, so it is a pipe dream to try to escape his senses.

but!

A stark reality confronted him: of the hundreds of elite assassins from the Mist Village, aside from a few scattered deserters, less than one in ten remained!

Indeed, traces of their battle and even the aura of chakra remained throughout the forest. However, apart from the remains of the Kaguya clan, which had been reduced to ashes, no other Kirigakure ninja remains could be found!

Those elite members of the Mist Village, whose fates are unknown, vanished into thin air in this world, just like their commander!

Of course, it goes without saying that those ninjas chose to defect.

This is the greatest insult to them.

Moreover, such a large-scale defection would be noticed by both himself and the sensory ninjas of Kirigakure and Konoha.

'Could it be that other forces beat them to it and took away the white eyes?'

'Onoki of Iwagakure and Rasa of Sunagakure are no ordinary men. With Kirigakure and Konoha at the height of their war, can those two ambitious figures truly remain unmoved?'

'Or perhaps, it's the mysterious Akatsuki organization at work?'

Xi muttered to herself, her bright eyes searching the ground for something.

This area is the last remaining spot of blue chakra. Although it has become almost imperceptible in the face of rampant energy, for a sensory ninja like him, as long as he is careful, he can still extract some information from the chaotic aura.

And sometimes, the eyes are better than the senses.

Just like now.
