Qing Shui said calmly:

"The Blood Mist Village policy, in my opinion, is based on the Mizukage's lack of ability. It's a clumsy way to consolidate his rule by using ridiculous excuses to distract the various ninja clans."

"To be frank, I will lead Konoha's forces across the ocean to occupy Kirigakure. That's a foregone conclusion."

"But based on my feelings for Kirigakure, I swear on the honor of the Uchiha clan that as long as you all follow me, I will consider you all as my own people, and the light of the Will of Fire will still shine upon you without bias."

Aoshui slowly surveyed the assembled Kirigakure members, exchanging a glance with Kaguya Kimijiro…

Kaguya Kimijiro trembled and shouted loudly, "Lord Aomine, the Kaguya clan feels your love and care, and we will forever follow you!"

The other members of the Kaguya clan were taken aback. How did this kid come to represent them?

But the next moment, these Corpse Bone Clan members remembered Qing Shui's bone armor mask and the awkward operation of the Fist-Entangled Palm Immortal Technique, and they hurriedly shouted along with Kaguya Kimijiro, expressing their loyalty in a hurry.

He's an unparalleled genius of the Corpse Bone Clan, and he's not a battle maniac either—the kind of person who would spare their lives!

Isn't this the perfect clan leader?

The Kaguya clan members are rather hypocritical; they believe that the strong should have a bloodthirsty nature, while the weak should simply die.

However, when a powerful expert who is proficient in the Corpse Bone Pulse is in a situation where he can crush everyone, the Kaguya clan feels that it is better to reason with him.

If we're unreasonable, won't we kill everyone?

It's clear that Qing Shui has a compassionate heart towards them...

Under the iron fist of correction, these Kaguya clan members, who were not particularly cunning to begin with and had long wanted to rebel against Kirigakure, simply joined Kaguya Kimijiro in joining Aoshui and became the first clan to choose sides.

Seeing this, Mei Terumi broke out in a cold sweat and quickly turned around to glare at the elders of the clan, her eyes seeming to say—

"We always thought the Kaguya clan was brainless, but now look, you're the brainless ones!"

"Shout it out! What are you thinking about?"

As a result, the people of the Zhaomei tribe also began to pledge their loyalty to Qingshui, and their voices grew ever stronger.

Kisame and Zabuza crossed their arms and looked at their former ANBU colleagues one by one, their eyes full of amusement.

This time, not only did the Anbu join, but the entire Hozuki clan cheered…

This is incredibly dangerous!

The lost techniques of the Hozuki clan have been replicated in the ninja world, and it's by Aozumi, who is willing to consider them as his own people!

Just like Sima Yi's oath by the Luo River, in the current ninja world, an oath made by a powerful clan like the Uchiha, swearing an oath of honor for their clan, still carries considerable weight...

The fact that Aokiji was able to vouch for Kirigakure in the name of the Uchiha clan proves that he truly cares about Kirigakure...

As for the Hozuki Secret Technique, Shikotsumyaku, Lava Release, and Ice Release—these are all iconic Kirigakure techniques—everyone has their own guesses as to why Aozumi was able to learn them, but that's no longer important!

Everyone has secrets, right?

Especially the secrets of the strong should not be pried into casually. It is enough to know that they are willing to give you a chance.

Slowly.

From the very first unknown Hidden Mist ninja, everyone present knelt down, gazing up at Aoshui on Tobirama's puppet shoulder, their eyes filled with anticipation, fear, and hope.

Qingshui slowly clasped his hands together, and a massive amount of medical chakra gathered in his hands, compressing into an ultimate ball of light.

With a wave of his hand, a green orb of light floated into the air, its warm glow illuminating the wounded and restoring a powerful life force to their exhausted bodies.

Bathed in light, Qing Shui's figure appeared even more sacred and elusive...

"Kisame, Mei Terumi, Zabuza, and Kaguya Kimijiro."

Qingshui called out their names and said with a smile, "I'll give you three days to reorganize the Root Mist Hidden Branch and explain the Will of Root and the Will of Fire to these new members."

"After that, come with me to reclaim our Hidden Mist Village, understand?"

"Hichira, take the Root members and everyone else to have a chat. From now on, they're all on our side."

Mei Terumi and the others gladly accepted the order. Originally rogue ninjas, they began to describe the benefits and treatment of Root members with an arrogant yet mysterious attitude.

There's also the fact that Qingshui let them go during the Chunin Exams...

These stories attracted more and more Hidden Mist ninja to gather together, all listening intently to the anecdotes of the new Mizukage.

"Qingshui, you're going to become the Water Shadow?"

Tobirama Senju's expression was very complicated as he looked at the plump doll standing to the side and said softly:

"The glory of the Uchiha clan, I never thought this thing could be so useful. Tell me, how many times have you sworn an oath with it?"

"I've forgotten about the times you mentioned."

Qingshui smiled and shook his head: "However, I can add one more time. Tobirama, I swear on the honor of the Uchiha clan, I will revive you..."

Tobirama Senju shook his head dismissively, but his eyes revealed a hint of happiness.

Qing Shui rolled her eyes. Some people are clearly quite old, but their hearts are still so childish.

"The matter of Kirigakure needs to be resolved before a full-scale war breaks out in other regions. I still have a lot to do..."

"Shisui, Asuma, and Might Guy under Tsunade, as well as Obito and Black Zetsu under Iwagakure, are all important pawns..."

As Qing Shui pondered the valuable targets for his laning phase, his thoughts gradually shifted to Tobirama, whom he had just appeased.

Having someone watching over you seems to make things quite inconvenient?

It seems we need to find a way to block Tobirama's senses. What excuse should we use?

Still moved by Aoshui, Tobirama Senju was completely unaware—

Qingshui has already decided to stop him from watching the live stream!

Chapter 161 The Hidden Mist Village Falls Completely, and Water Falls Even Faster Than the Hokage.

Three days later.

The army that invaded Konoha from the Hidden Mist, or rather, the Hidden Mist branch of Konoha's Root...

With the coordination of Mei Terumi, Kisame, Zabuza, Kaguya Kimijiro, Hyuga Hizashi, and many Root members, the reorganization has been completed.

The results were outstanding.

With the collective betrayal of Kaguya and Terumi, two powerful clans in Kirigakure, coupled with the constant brainwashing by a genius from the Kirigakure Anbu, and the unwavering praise from Hozuki Mangetsu, a child prodigy in the ninja world…

"Lord Seisui's Water Gun Technique and Steam Explosion are even more powerful than those of Lord Hozuki Gengetsu as recorded in my family's records!" This is what Hozuki Mangetsu, who has recently broadened his horizons, likes to say the most.

With Qingshui pledging the honor of the Uchiha clan as collateral, the mindset of the former Kirigakure ninjas quickly shifted.

When faced with an insurmountable crisis, people always like to make excuses for themselves.

With Qing Shui's fighting strength, he definitely couldn't win...

Having experienced the power of Tobirama No. 1 for the first time, they knew even more that the collective strength of Konoha was not to be underestimated.

From the leader's individual combat prowess to the collective fighting strength, and the tug-of-war between strategic thinking...

They all demonstrate a chasm-like gap!

In this situation, the Hozuki Gengetsu series of ninjutsu that Aozuki used to kill the enemy provided them with a good psychological excuse.

This is hardly a case of being counterattacked.

Upon closer examination, the conflict and battles between Aoshui, who possesses the Corpse Bone Pulse, Lava Release, and Hozuki's secret techniques, and the Third Mizukage can be seen as an internal struggle for the position of Mizukage!

As for some minor details, the Hidden Mist ninjas instinctively ignored them.

A new Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist were also created under these arrangements.

The Twin Blades Hiramekarei were given to Hozuki Mangetsu by Aoisui, while his original Samehada was assigned to Kisame.

The Executioner's Blade and the Thunder Blade Kiba are still in the hands of the very sensible Juzo Biwa and Raiga Kurosuki.

As for the long sword "Sewing Needle" and the explosive sword "Flying Spray", they were given to Mei Terumi and Kaguya Kimijiro, while the final blunt sword "Headbutt" was given to Zabuza.

Thus, under Aoshui's arrangement, the new Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist have taken their place.

Although in Aoshui's view, only the fusion of Kisame and Samehada was relatively perfect, capable of complementing each other and enhancing their combat power; the others at most served a negligible purpose...

However, this is an organization that was established during the Hozuki Gengetsu era, and the new batch of members was assigned and formed by Aozumi. The metaphors and meanings in this are different.

Only the Mizukage can determine the whereabouts of the Seven Ninja Swords of Kirigakure!

【Hidden Heart in the Mist】:

When you take control of Kirigakure, the strength of the ninjas under that unit will improve in return, including but not limited to bloodline, chakra, ninjutsu skills, and physique.

The feedback multiplier is positively correlated with the loyalty of the Hidden Mist Ninja to you.

This talent unlocks the final laning phase, and upon completion, grants a special reward—the Ocean Contract.

The reason why Qing Shui was relatively patient with the Hidden Mist ninja was because of the reward of the Ocean Contract…

The final showdown begins. The first step is to max out the loyalty of these Hidden Mist ninjas, then decide based on the situation whether to attempt a comeback…

In this world where the Otsutsuki clan could invade at any moment, fleeting moments of warmth and human kindness are luxuries; only strength matters.

"Everyone, come with me and let's take back our Hidden Mist Village."

On the frozen platform, Qing Shui, dressed in a dark blue Uchiha clan uniform, pointed to the sky and spoke in a deep voice.

Below the platform, the ninjas, whose identities were no longer distinguishable as either former Kirigakure or Root members, stood together in a jumbled fashion and responded in unison: "Together with Lord Aokiji, let's reclaim our Kirigakure!"

Qingshui nodded, formed a hand seal, and ordered, "Tobirama, landing preparations complete!"

The former Hidden Mist ninja was still somewhat confused. What was Tobirama? Was it another bomb?

A moment later, a black dot appeared in the sky, gradually growing larger and larger…

A space carrier, hundreds of meters wide, appeared before everyone with a presence that blotted out the sky.

"What...what is this?!"

Kisame's small eyes widened to their maximum size as he muttered to himself, "Is this also a ninja tool?"

Mei Terumi and Kimijiro Kaguya also stared blankly at the enormous warship.

This isn't to say that Tobirama is particularly powerful, but rather it conveys a sense of the impact of a new era on the old...

At this point in time, the technology in the ninja world is still relatively primitive, and they are extremely unfamiliar with this kind of technologically advanced creation.
