The Hidden Mist Blacksmith, forging the glory of the Ninja Sword Style!

"call out!"

A kunai appeared from an unknown direction and struck precisely the person behind the bamboo cutter cat.

"Pfft!"

The man felt the pain and his body stiffened.

The cat with the bamboo twig turned around and stabbed.

"Crack!"

With a single stroke, the man's throat was slit open.

"Who?"

Several members of the bamboo tug team noticed something was wrong.

"Everyone be careful, there are other people besides the bamboo cutter cat."

"The bamboo-cutting cat has a helper!"

The cat grinned, knowing that this was the work of the ANBU ninja arranged by the Third Mizukage.

"Tonight, you will all die!"

Knowing that the ANBU ninja was right behind him, Taketori no Neko became even more reckless, completely ignoring what was behind him and focusing all his energy on killing.

However, the people facing the Taketori Neko are not strong enough.

This means that with two strikes, the Taketori Neko will inevitably kill one person.

The battle is no longer evenly matched.

Instead, it became a one-sided massacre.

Upon hearing the wailing, Uehara Shu glanced at the Third Mizukage beside him, then at the Anbu ninja not far away.

"In the original storyline, was the night of the Uchiha clan massacre also a similar scene?"

"Were Hiruzen Sarutobi, Danzo Shimura, Homura Mitokado, Koharu Utatane, and the others also standing outside, just like the Third Mizukage, myself, and Ao, able to see the scene inside clearly?"

Time passes both quickly and slowly.

The cat-like creature, named Bamboo Cutter, has lost count of how many people it has killed.

All I know is that those who should be killed haven't been killed yet.

The radical members were puzzled as to why, despite such a large commotion, the powerful members of the family had not yet appeared, as if they had vanished into thin air.

In fact, they didn't disappear; they were just restrained.

"Anbu ninja!"

"What are you going to do?"

"What is the Water Shadow going to do?"

These high-ranking members of the Bamboo Clan probably guessed the reason, and their mood immediately turned extremely bad.

Originally, it was we who were preparing to start a civil war.

But now, the Mizukage has made his move first.

What will become of the Bamboo Cutter Clan after tonight?

None of the ANBU ninjas answered; they simply carried out their missions in silence.

Restrain, restrain. If there's an opportunity, kill it; if not, wait for the bamboo cat to come.

Taketori Tanijima's body collapsed in front of Biwa Juzo.

"why?"

Taketori Tanishima gripped Hiwa Juzo's trouser leg tightly.

Pipa Juzo glanced at Taketori Valley Island.

"Why? The bamboo-cutter cat is still alive, so you should know why."

"Your bamboo ploughing clan's affairs have been settled."

"The Mizukage would never tolerate the continued existence of a ninja clan that is preparing to start a civil war."

"Are you just going to sit back and wait for us to start a civil war?"

Taketori Tanishima planned to make loquat Juzo.

"That's not what I'm talking about."

"What I'm saying is, why do you all obey the orders of that incompetent Third Mizukage so readily?"

"What is there for him to be loyal to?"

"An incompetent fool who has wasted the solid foundation laid by the Second Mizukage."

"Why should he represent the village?"

"Aren't we, the Kaguya clan, people of Kirigakure?"

"My bamboo tug clan only wants to live."

"Why do you all think it's the fault of my bamboo plucker clan?"

"That's how you are."

“Even within our own bamboo plucker clan, there are such people.”

"The bamboo-tendering water spirit and the bamboo-tendering cat spirit—those two are utterly stupid and dumb as pigs!"

Pipa Juzo frowned.

"I am not qualified to judge the merits and demerits of the Mizukage, but your Kaguya clan actually attacked the people of Konoha for the sake of the Hyuga clan. Is this right?"

Taketori Tanijima opened his mouth.

"That was just Taketori-da's personal behavior."

"If one bamboo grove is exposed, will the bamboo grove clan only have one bamboo grove?"

Pipa Juzo shook his head.

"Things have come to this point, Taketori-dani-jima, don't say anything more that's pointless."

"Go."

Pipa Juzo channeled his chakra into the Blue Rose Sword.

"Blue Rose Ice Release: Spear!"

A long spear of ice appeared directly above Taketori Valley Island, and then plummeted straight down.

"Pfft!"

In an instant, it pierced through Taketori-tani's vest, completely penetrating his body.

There was no one standing in front of the bamboo cutter cat.

They all fell victim to the attacks of the Bamboo Cutter Cat.

Holding the dragon bone, the bamboo-cutter cat walked toward the residence of the bamboo-cutter clan's patriarch.

But at that very moment...

A figure that had fallen suddenly struggled to its feet.

A boy stared intently at the bamboo cat, his eyes filled with rage.

"Senior Cat, do you think it's right to slaughter your own people for power?"

You weren't like this before.

"Why has it become like this?"

The cat turned its head and looked at the boy.

Upon meeting the boy's gaze, the cat-like creature's feelings suddenly became somewhat complicated.

"Taketori Saten."

Knowing that the Kaguya clan wanted to start a civil war, knowing that the Kaguya clan had imprisoned Kaguya Shinsui, and being hunted down by the Kaguya clan, the Kaguya Neko harbored extremely strong murderous intent towards the Kaguya clan.

The cat-like creature felt that this family was beyond saving.

Extermination of their entire clan is their best fate.

But now, the Bamboo Cutter Cat has killed many people.

As the killing continued, the mindset of the bamboo-tracer cat gradually began to change.

He watched helplessly as those people fell to their deaths, their bodies stained with blood.

Moreover, Taketori Sato was not a member of the radical faction.

In the eyes of Taketori Neko, Taketori Sato was a boy somewhat similar to himself and Taketori Masamichi.

The bamboo tribe is a minority.

The reason why the Taketori Sato was not killed, but only knocked down, is because the Taketori Neko did not want to kill him.

But now, Taketori Sato stood up.

"Senior Cat!"

Suddenly, the cat moved. Before Taketori Sato could finish speaking, the cat appeared in front of him.

One hand gripped Taketori Sato's throat, pressing him against the wall and rubbing him against it.

It didn't stop until it was more than ten meters away.

On the wall were fragments of Taketori Sato's torn clothes, skin, and blood.

The intense pain contorted Taketori Sato's expression into a grimace.

"Can't you?"

The cat looked at Sato Taketori indifferently.

"You think you know me well?"
