Moreover, that village has been under lockdown for far too long, so how could members of the Ninja Swordsmen suddenly appear here?

Could it be that the state of Kirigakure is all an illusion?

Could it be that those guys in the blood mist have some unspeakable secret with Uchiha Ara?

Such divergent thoughts are terrifying upon closer examination!

"Eh?"

"It's truly remarkable that an ordinary person could recognize this ninja sword."

A cold voice traveled through the air.

The boy wearing a white mask gently brandished his sword and approached. A thin steel wire briefly rippled in the cool sunlight before disappearing in an instant.

"Don't come any closer!"

"Otherwise, they will all die!"

Upon seeing his companion exposed, the bewildered old man in his fifties immediately turned fierce, and in a daze, a kunai was already pointed at the grandmother and granddaughter in his field of vision.

"You can try and see if your ninja sword is faster, or my kunai is faster."

A vicious growl escaped his lips instantly.

It wasn't that he didn't want to try other methods, but the opponents were the Ninja Swordsmen! The strongest group in Kirigakure!!

Faced with such an existence, he was not confident of victory.

Even if the other party looks very young, isn't that Uchiha clan kid only fifteen?

This sudden turn of events turned Shigeta Shitara's face pale. After realizing the reality, he hurriedly moved to his daughter and mother and opened his arms wide.

I just wanted to hire two ordinary helpers, and yet I ended up in this mess.

He complained helplessly in his heart, but dared not utter a word of dissatisfaction.

"No, no, please, please, we can talk this over. I'm willing to give all my money and goods to you, sirs."

Please don't hurt my family!

Shigeta Setara made a humble plea, but it seemed that his voice was not heeded by the three opposing forces.

After pausing for a moment, Bai continued walking forward.

"Then you should give it a try."

As they spoke, a mirror of ice, radiating a chilling aura, quietly rose behind them, reflecting, or rather recording, the very scene of the current standoff!

"only,"

"After making such images public, will Konoha be able to maintain its current image?"

Chapter 332 Okay, could you please close your eyes first?

Sakihara Kazutaka's mood had plummeted to rock bottom.

The forehead, which had remained dry for dozens of miles, was now beaded with a fine layer of cold sweat.

[This young junior before me, this ninja swordsman wielding the ninja sword, Sewing Needle.]

What exactly is going on?!

[Even though it's just standing there in a minimalist style, it exudes an undeniable and visibly terrifying aura!]

Even highly trained members of the secret service wouldn't possess such power at this age.

【No,】

【wrong! 】

The man, who looked to be in his fifties, gradually became serious.

Such a feeling,

Such a junior,

During his career serving in the dark side, he witnessed three such cases:

Kakashi Hatake, Shisui Uchiha, and Itachi Uchiha.

Furthermore, the five basic chakra natures in the ninja world are: wind, lightning, fire, earth, and water.

But the person in front of me!

Sakihara Kazutaka shifted his gaze slightly, his peripheral vision landing on the chilling ice mirror that had suddenly materialized in the void.

[Ice Release is excluded from the five major chakra natures!]

There is only one explanation for all of this.

[The person before me wearing a white mask and exuding a calm aura is a special bloodline limit user!]

[As expected of the Blood Mist Village, one of the Five Great Ninja Villages alongside Konoha.]

Even after such a setback, they still managed to produce such a feat!

This stalemate will only last for a short while.

But in its concept of time, it seems to span several years!

"Don't leave yet!"

Sakihara and Ten, having cleared their minds of all distractions, growled backward.

This message, so full of profound meaning, must be relayed back quickly by someone!

The reason they chose to infiltrate the caravan in an attempt to leave was because their communication with headquarters had been inexplicably cut off.

Of course, this most likely means that the higher-ups are still discussing the next steps.

However, given their communication habits and intuition that have remained largely unchanged over the decades, there must be some shady dealings involved.

The most likely scenario is that the country is about to undergo a political upheaval, which is why all information has been blocked from the outside world.

This feeling of being besieged made him eager to leave.

But now it seems it's still too late.

The reason why the other side did not directly launch an operation in the city is probably because they were worried about causing unnecessary panic, or perhaps they had just formed this invisible blockade!

They have missed the best time to leave.

However, it cannot be said that they are completely out of control. At least the containment zone is still very weak. They and their juniors are paired up to carry out the mission. As long as one of them can return alive, that will be enough.

However, the man behind him did not seem to have such awareness.

Ultimately, this is not a hopeless situation!

With a slight shift of his body, he grabbed the burly young man walking beside him, and the kunai that had slipped from his hand was pressed against the man's neck.

"Don't move around!"

"Otherwise, the consequences would be beyond my control."

After whispering something in the ear of this ordinary, unrelated employee, Takahashi Hiromasa ignored the pleas and forcibly pushed the hostage forward.

In the blink of an eye, he stepped over his companion and blocked the path of the slender ninja sword.

"Takahashi?"

A somewhat exasperated call rang out; it came from an elderly man who appeared to be in his fifties.

I clearly told him to leave during the lull!

Of course, he was also well aware that the other party was doing this to force back the person blocking their way and to ensure that the two of them could escape unscathed.

But doesn't this guy know that?

Compared to the lives of their comrades, the most important mission of a ninja is to complete the tasks assigned by their superiors. Is it to deliver important information back to the village as soon as possible in critical moments?

Such an approach will not only fail to garner praise and gratitude, but will instead only incite resentment and frustration.

You should give up when it's time to give up.

When it's time to sacrifice, you must sacrifice.

Everything must prioritize the overall situation and the village!

This was a concept he had instilled in this little bastard on his very first day in the Dark Division. How come this bastard still hasn't remembered it by now!

However, this low murmur did not move Takahashi Hiromasa in the slightest. Instead, he stared intently at the plain white mask, watching the gaze flowing from its hollow openings, and coldly said:

"If I'm not mistaken, you people of Kirigakure want to take advantage of the chaos to seize this alien land, don't you!"

Although he was indeed a junior compared to Sakihara Kazutaka, his skills and keen insight into situations were all taught by the former.

However, this does not mean that he has no thoughts or understanding of his own!

When did the ninjas of Kirigakure become so indecisive?

To think that they would ask the ordinary civilians present to leave first and then settle private matters—isn't it ridiculous that such behavior and style would appear in the bloody fog of consensus?

Those guys with blood on their hands are ruthless creatures who never negotiate with prisoners and can even turn on their own comrades!

But if the truth and Kirigakure's ultimate goal are as I suspect, then all of this makes sense.

After all, if you want to quickly occupy a country without a ruler, you can simply take control of that country's daimyo.

But if they really want to stay permanently and turn this place into their vassal state, the only way is to win the hearts and minds of the people!

Clearly, the other party's reluctance to take action and their public revelation of their allegiance stemmed from a desire for temporary goodwill.

Of course, if they can leave safely, then such a conclusion will fall apart on its own, because it is just empty talk. On the contrary, the ambition of the Hidden Mist Village that he pointed out will be brought to the forefront afterward and condemned by various forces!

Looking at it now,

[As expected. ]

Seeing that the ninja swordsmen in front of him had slowed down their movements because of his words, Takahashi Hiromasa's confidence grew even stronger.

"If you don't want to see a bloody scene, if you want to preserve your image, then you'd better get out of my sight right now!"

He roared with a contorted face and bloodshot eyes, looking like a wild beast in human skin.

And seemingly to intimidate, he pressed down the kunai in his hand even further, and bright red blood slowly seeped out from the delicate wound.
