"That's enough."

Looking at the two remaining members of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, Shen Qiu didn't want to waste any more time. His right eye flashed, and the three black tomoe quickly spun and merged together, transforming into a triangular windmill!

"Kaleidoscope Sharingan—"

"The Sands of Time!"

This was the third time Shen Qiu used the Mangekyou Sharingan, and he could clearly feel the stinging pain. However, thanks to Avalon's effect, he didn't bleed every time he used it, unlike Sasuke when he still had the Mangekyou Sharingan, and it didn't look painful at all.

Time stood still at that moment.

Whether it was Kurosuki Raiga's action of summoning lightning or Hozuki Mangetsu's pose of raising his explosive sword high, they all stopped at this moment. The only person who could move was Shen Qiu!

"Hatake Sword Technique - Second Form"

Spiral Slash!

Shen Qiu streaked down like a silver flash, arriving before Kurosuki Raiga and Hozuki Mangetsu in disbelief, easily ending their lives with a single strike.

Hozuki Mangetsu didn't even have time to use the Hozuki clan's secret water transformation technique before Shen Qiu severed his head. Thus, the future leader of the Second Generation Seven Ninja Swordsmen and a genius of Kirigakure ceased to exist.

No, it's not just Hozuki Mangetsu, it's that the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist will have to disappear from the ninja world from now on, and the culprit behind all this is this young boy—Shen Qiu!

After storing the last ninja sword into his spatial ring, Shen Qiu finally heard the long-lost voice of the Supreme God.

"Main Quest 2: Collect at least four ninja swords. Congratulations on completion! Reward: 6000 Reincarnation Points!"

6000 Reincarnation Points! Thinking of this, a slight smile finally appeared on Shen Qiu's lips. How many good things could he buy?

"The Seven Ninja Knights... the Seven Ninja Knights are all dead..."

At this moment, a Kirigakure ninja who had been monitoring the battlefield from a distance finally collapsed to his knees. He was an intelligence agent sent by Kaguya to monitor the Seven Ninja Swordsmen's battle with Shen Qiu.

Shen Qiu glanced at him but didn't speak. Keeping this man alive was more valuable than killing him. He believed that it wouldn't be long before the name "Uchiha Qiu" would spread throughout the entire ninja world!

Meanwhile, on the main battlefield...

There was a significant difference in strength between two thousand and eight thousand people. Therefore, although Konoha's morale was high at the beginning of the battle, even the highest morale could not make up for such a huge gap.

In just one morning, February 2.3rd, the number of casualties on the Konoha side had already exceeded one thousand.

"I wonder how things are going on Aki's side now..." After using the Spirit Transformation Secret Technique to kill one of the enemy's Kaguya Jonin, Kato Dan felt a bitter taste in his mouth. Although he didn't want to admit it, that level of battle was beyond his reach.

"If this drags on, it will probably just be a repeat of yesterday's mistakes."

After killing a child who looked to be only seven or eight years old—whose identity was unclear whether he was a genin or chunin—with a kunai, Shiranui Genfeng sighed. The situation in Konoha was truly dire.

However, before the two could exchange another word, a familiar voice rang in their ears.

"Water Release: Super Annihilation: Hard Vortex Water Blade!"

Chapter 167: The Ninja World is Shocked - A Great Victory in the Southeast! (Please Subscribe)

The Country of Fire, Konoha Village.

After entering March, the weather improved, and the warm sunshine of early spring always made people feel sleepy.

The Hokage's residence.

On the table in front of Hiruzen Sarutobi was a thick stack of documents, and he was writing furiously, signing his name one by one without even reading the contents carefully.

After an unknown amount of time, he seemed to finally feel a bit tired. He casually tossed the pen aside, took out a pipe from the drawer, and skillfully lit it.

"I wonder what the situation is like on the Hidden Mist Battlefield right now..."

After taking a deep breath, he finally felt a slight relief from his fatigue. Since February, he had been dealing with endless documents every day, sometimes even working overtime until one or two in the morning. In just one month, Hizan had become several times more haggard.

Being the Hokage is not an easy job.

"Judging by the days, the report of the defeat should be arriving soon. We absolutely must find a way to suppress it, otherwise the village will be in a state of panic, and the daimyo's questioning will be troublesome..."

Yes, Hiruzen Sarutobi never expected the war in the southeast to be successful. Using a small force to fight against Kirigakure's regular army of 10,000 was unlikely to end well.

He dared to do this because he was very confident that Kirigakure would never be able to attack too deeply into the interior of the Land of Fire, as that would stretch their battle lines too far and create too much instability.

Just as Hiruzen Sarutobi was pondering the current situation on the battlefield of the ninja world, a series of hurried footsteps sounded in the corridor outside the door, and they got faster and faster!

"Hokage-sama, Hokage-sama! Huff, huff, the battle report from the southeast battlefield has arrived! A great victory, a great victory!" A Jonin dressed in white rushed into Hiruzen Sarutobi's office, panting heavily. He even stumbled because he was so excited.

"Hiruko, how many times have I told you how to stay calm and composed in the face of major events? The battle report from the southeast battlefield has arrived? How many people have we lost... Wait, you mean the great victory?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi was momentarily stunned.

"Yes, teacher! On March 6th, Uchiha Aki killed the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist in the southeastern battlefield beneath Asami Gorge, then unleashed an incredibly powerful Water Release technique to force back the Hidden Mist army, and finally charged ahead at the forefront, ultimately..."

"Finally what?" Hiruzen Sarutobi's voice began to tremble.

"In the end, more than 7,000 Kirigakure ninja were killed, and Kirigakure was severely injured. They not only defended Asami Gorge, but also recovered all the territory within the White River. They even chased Kirigakure all the way to the Land of Bears, until they saw them escape by boat."

"The report sent by Uchiha Aki also said that if Konoha didn't lack ships, he would have insisted on attacking the Land of Water's mainland and making the Third Mizukage experience the same sleepless nights he had!"

Hiruko finally calmed his extremely excited heart and began to tell Hiruzen Sarutobi in detail about the battle report on the southeast front that Shen Qiu had sent.

"Good, very good, excellent! Uchiha Aki, you are a promising young man!" Hiruzen Sarutobi said "good" three times in a row, which was enough to show his excitement.

During this period, Hiruzen Sarutobi endured immense pressure. The repeated defeats on the southeastern front cast a huge shadow over his position as Hokage. Not only the Daimyo, but also many people within the government began to feel dissatisfied with him.

The prosperity created by thirteen years of hard work is not something that can be easily appreciated, but the sudden loss of a loved one is so unforgettable that some people have begun to harbor great resentment towards him.

Shen Qiu's news of victory came at the perfect time. Even though a long time had passed, Hiruzen Sarutobi still couldn't hide his excitement.

"Not only that, teacher, they even gave Uchiha Aki a nickname," Hiruko said to Hiruzen Sarutobi with a smile.

"Oh, what nickname?" Hiruzen Sarutobi became interested after hearing Hiruko's words. There is a long-standing tradition in the ninja world of giving strong people nicknames.

The title of the First Hokage, Hashirama Senju, was "God of the Shinobi World," reflecting his godlike strength as a ninja. The title of the Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju, was "The Fastest Ninja in the Shinobi World," derived from the powerful space-time ninjutsu he created, the Flying Thunder God Technique.

As for the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, he was known as the "Professor of Ninjutsu" because he was proficient in using thousands of ninjutsu techniques based on the five elemental chakra natures.

Others also possess titles like "Strongest Spear" and "Strongest Shield," inherited by successive Raikage.

"It's called the Silver Flash because Uchiha Aki's speed is incredibly fast, almost like a flash of light. And because he always holds a silver-blue katana when he flashes by, he's called the Silver Flash!"

"There are also some rumors. I've heard that some people say that Uchiha Aki is the illegitimate son of the Second Hokage, because he looks exactly like the Second Hokage, both of them possessing powerful water-style ninjutsu and extremely fast speed."

Upon hearing this, Hiruzen Sarutobi couldn't help but chuckle. These guys really have a rich imagination. How could Uchiha Aki, a member of the Uchiha clan, be associated with the Second Hokage?

"Ignore these messages. However, Hiruzen, I have a task for you!" After looking at the report of victory in his hand again and again, Hiruzen Sarutobi became more and more fond of it, and his impression of Shen Qiu also improved greatly.

"Spread the news of Uchiha Aki's great victory over Kirigakure on the southeastern front and his killing of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist to the entire village, along with his name, Silver Flash. No, not only to the village, but to the entire Land of Fire, and to the entire ninja world!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi understood that with the entire Land of Fire and Konoha Village shrouded in the shadow of war, Aki Uchiha's great victory in the southeast was a powerful stimulant, injecting a strong boost into the heart of Konoha.

At this point, the simplest and most direct approach is to create a hero so that the people can truly experience the power of the strong!

Hiruzen Sarutobi is best at doing this kind of thing.

In fact, if Shen Qiu didn't exist, this location in this timeline would belong to Sakumo Hatake, who decisively defeated Sunagakure on the western front a year or two later.

In the Third Shinobi World War, it was Minato Namikaze.

"I understand, teacher!"

Chapter 168: Silver Flash - Cloud Village Launches War! (Please Subscribe)

"A great victory in the southeast! A great victory in the southeast! Our frontline commander, Uchiha Aki, on March 6th, killed the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist and defeated ten thousand men with only two thousand!"

In Konoha, large numbers of Chunin poured into various residential areas and markets, shouting and distributing numerous white leaflets. The leaflets contained a detailed battle report on Uchiha Aki's great victory over Kirigakure on the southeastern front.

"We won? We won?"

"Two thousand defeated ten thousand! This is a great victory rarely seen in history!"

More and more Konoha residents, upon hearing the news, either peeked out or came out of their homes to pick up a flyer, their initial shock turning into excitement and exhilaration.

Since the complete annihilation of Shigin Aburame and Kiyoshi Hyuga's army at the White River in the southeastern battlefield, Konoha has been shrouded in gloom, and everyone's heart is like a stagnant pool of still water.

The stalemate in the war between Konoha and the Land of Rain intensified this feeling. As a major power, Konoha had invested a huge number of troops in the Land of Rain but had been unable to conquer it for a long time, which made everyone feel extremely frustrated.

This victory report from the southeastern battlefield will surely be recorded in the history of the ninja world along with Shen Qiu, and the title "Silver Flash" will become known to more and more people.

A few days ago, in the Land of Water, in Kirigakure, at the Mizukage's residence.

The Third Mizukage looked at Yagura, who was kneeling before him, and felt a daze in his mind. The army of 10,000 ninjas plus the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist had not only failed to conquer Asami Gorge, but had also suffered a great defeat.

The Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist were all killed by that boy named Uchiha Aki, and their ninja swords have become someone else's collectibles.

Mizuki Sora knew that, at least for the next ten years, Kirigakure should not try to interfere in the affairs of the ninja world.

"Close the docks and let's rest and recuperate..." It took him a long time to finally squeeze out these words before he staggered toward the Second Mizukage's grave.

He has failed the Second Mizukage.

Cloud Hidden, Northeast Battlefield, Council Tent.

The Third Raikage, A, looked at the urgent intelligence report delivered from 800 li away, sighed, and then helplessly tossed it onto the table.

"Those useless people from Kirigakure, ten thousand of them couldn't even beat two thousand. And what about their so-called Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist? They always boasted so much, but now look what happened, they've all been killed in Asami Gorge."

He was very impatient, and there was a reason for it. They had signed a secret treaty with Kirigakure, and the longer Kirigakure could hold out on the southeastern front, the more advantageous it would be for them.

The Hidden Cloud Village does not border the Hidden Leaf Village, so it would be extremely difficult for them to directly attack the Hidden Leaf Village. If the Hidden Mist Village were to assist them, it would buy them a lot of time.

Unexpectedly, Kirigakure was destroyed just like that? This left Kumogakure feeling extremely aggrieved. During the First Shinobi World War, Konoha used the death of the Second Hokage as a reason to add many unequal clauses to the treaty signed with Kumogakure.
