Immortality begins with the ninjas of Konoha.

Chapter 151 The Blood Mist Reopens

On January 1st, Konoha Year 51, the first day of the new year, Kirigakure gave the ninja world a huge surprise: "The Blood Mist policy is back, and Kirigakure ninjas will continue to adhere to the elite path."

The fourth Mizukage, Yagura Karatachi, who had been in office for less than a year, surprisingly overturned his own policies, allowing Kirigakure to return to its "old ways," leaving the people of the Land of Water dumbfounded.

This internal struggle between the left and right hemispheres has left the Konoha ninja bewildered. They were constantly worried that the Hidden Mist ninja would seek revenge and launch a war, but now the other side is embroiled in internal strife.

Even though the enemy who killed the Third Mizukage was right there in Konoha, Kirigakure (Hidden Mist Village) consistently turned a blind eye. This strange situation even led many Konoha ninja to wonder: "Is it the Sage of Six Paths protecting them?"

There seems to be no need to be wary of the Hidden Mist Ninja for the time being. The Konoha ninja are very satisfied with their "New Year's gift"—they won again on the first day of the new year!

Within Kirigakure, many ninjas personally visited the high-ranking elders, but Master Genji had no objection to the restoration of the Blood Mist policy.

Yagura Karatachi was a reformist before, but now, less than a year after becoming the Mizukage, he has "revealed his true colors," and his subordinates are more miserable than if they had eaten shit.

Zabuza Momochi stood outside the Mizukage Building, looking expectantly at his seniors, only to see them all shaking their heads. Seeing this, the boy clenched his fist in anger and shouted, "He deceived us! Damn it, it's not even been a year, the new students graduate in March, and we're already killing each other?"

Where are those promises that were made?

"Nothing has changed. Those ninja swordsmen only care about themselves and don't care about their comrades in the village at all."

"Why aren't the elders involved in this? Aren't they responsible for most of the village's work?"

The boy, whose face was half-covered in bandages, angrily removed the covering from his face; he could not accept this blatant deception.

None of the Jonin were able to answer Zabuza's question.

As the fog enveloped the village once more, everyone vanished without a trace. They were just ordinary ninjas; how could they possibly resist the Mizukage?

A distraught Zabuza knelt alone on the ground, once again returning to his hellish world.

In the distance, Mei Terumi, wearing a mask, witnessed everything. The girl stared at Zabuza the Demon for a long time before finally sneering, "A pathetic performance. In the end, he was completely fooled and could only wallow in self-pity."

"This village is beyond saving. No one even questions that the Mizukage is being controlled. The Blood Mist policy has turned these people into mere tools."

Mei Terumi's spiritual form resentfully complained.

She had always doubted Furukawa Osamu's words, but when the prophecy came true, she felt an indescribable sense of humiliation.

The so-called Mizukage was utterly defeated in front of the enemy. Although she was unsure whether a battle had taken place, the fact that she, as the strongest fighter in Kirigakure, couldn't even die in battle made her increasingly distressed.

The education she had received since childhood completely collapsed at this moment; she would not serve such an incompetent water shadow.

"There's no need to blame Yagura; faced with that legendary power," ordinary ninjas truly had no chance of resistance.

"This is not a situation that can be changed by determination or will; the Mangekyou Sharingan has the ability to distort reality."

"What you need to do is accumulate strength and pay attention to who is loyal to the village, so that you can promote and give them important positions after you gain power."

"There aren't many ninjas who can maintain their integrity in this environment. For Kirigakure, this is also an opportunity for a new beginning."

Osamu Furukawa's spirit gently comforted her, and Mei Terumi nodded slightly. She no longer questioned him, and at the same time, she became increasingly interested in leading the village: "You will always stay by my side to help me, right?"

"An incompetent daimyo, a corrupt village—all of this should end! They should go to hell to repent, bearing their ugly forms!"

After complaining bitterly, Mei Terumi quickly left, wanting to change everything.

Late at night, in a corner under the bridge, Kisame sat on the riverbank looking dejected.

Although he disliked the Fourth Mizukage's "youthful appearance," he had shown great respect for this courageous leader over the past few months.

Looking back now, Kisame feels like a clown, betraying his superior because he admired the hero Mizukage, only to now suffer a double "betrayal."

"Ugly guy, it's time to face reality!"

"As the Mizukage of one of the Five Great Ninja Villages, he can't even protect himself. This kind of idiot should just die!"

"The Seven Ninja Swordsmen are just a bunch of idiots. Now that the Blood Mist policy has returned, we can be considered to be following the Mizukage's instructions."

Mei Terumi, wearing a mask, suddenly appeared from the ground. Kisame remained silent after hearing these words, only responding softly as the girl prepared to turn and leave: "And what can you change?"

"Even if you kill them, that power might still be able to control you."

"It's just that the Blood Mist policy has returned, but we are still Hidden Mist Ninja, and we will continue to live loyally to the village."

As soon as Kisame finished speaking, a stream of acid rushed towards him. He hurriedly dodged, only to find that the acid seemed to be alive, surging wildly towards him.

"what!"

The acid on the ground suddenly transformed into a giant hand that grabbed his ankle, and Kisame screamed as he was engulfed by the acid.

Fortunately, he was eventually flung into the water by the giant hand. By then, most of the riverbank had been swallowed by the acid, which saved his life.

Mei Terumi stared at Kisame, who was lying motionless on the shore after crawling ashore. Seeing that he was not moving, she immediately jumped into the water and quickly glided to the other side. Then she slowly walked to the coward's side: "You have no right to refuse."

"As for what I will do, it's none of your business, you ugly thing, to tell me what to do!"

"After killing that fatso, I'll kill all those idiotic ninja swordsmen. Maybe that puppet Mizukage will even promote me to head of the Anbu."

Kisame heard the girl's manic laughter, then felt something deep inside his heart. Before he could respond, a sharp pain shot through his chest, and he could only scream again, "Ah! You...you madwoman..."

"We're sending that fat guy to his death this weekend. If you don't come, you'll all die together!"

Kisame, covered in wounds, gasped for breath and struggled to sit up, but Mei Terumi had already vanished.

He lay back down on the ground, gazing at the night sky obscured by mist, his eyes slightly moist: "Why did the village become like this?"

Four days after Kirigakure announced the return of the Blood Mist policy, Suigetsu Hozuki, one of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, suddenly died.

Not only did he die a horrible death, but his subordinates were also wiped out. This insane slaughter shocked the entire village. However, the Fourth Mizukage gave an even more outrageous order: "Suizawa Fuguki colluded with the Cloud Village ninja and betrayed the village. He has been punished."

Kirigakure is once again plunged into chaos, with comrades who hate each other beginning a new round of fighting, and death engulfing the entire village. And this is only the beginning.

Obito Uchiha took a deep breath as he openly appeared inside the Mizukage Building; the stench of blood could be faintly smelled throughout the central building.

If there was any hesitation before, the overwhelming pleasure after avenging Rin Nohara made Obito addicted to it.

"Rin, did you see that? This is what happens when the Hidden Mist ninja hurt you!"

"I want to watch them kill each other, to make them experience the pain of seeing their friend die before their eyes..."

Yagura sat quietly behind his desk like a living dead. After Obito finished speaking, he glanced at the puppet, chuckled, and disappeared into the vortex again.

In a secret outpost not far from Kirigakure, Nagato and Konan immediately took a step back when Obito suddenly appeared.

The fact that the Mizukage was subdued in a single encounter was terrifying, making the two even more wary of Uchiha Madara.

"Rain Village, prepare to take over the mission!"

"I always keep my word. In the future, the Land of Water will become the source of nourishment for the Akatsuki. With the support of major powers, the plan will be implemented smoothly very soon."

"Get ready, continue practicing the Six Paths Technique. Konoha is experiencing a baby boom; the opportunity we've been waiting for may be just around the corner!"

After Obito finished giving his instructions in a cold tone, he disappeared again. Nagato frowned slightly, while Konan, standing beside him, looked at her friend with a pained expression and whispered, "Nagato, are you really going to carry out the plan?"

"Those young people and children are innocent; what we went through back then should not be repeated..."

After a long silence, Nagato turned away and whispered, "Only by experiencing the same pain can we understand each other!"

"By making them feel despair amidst hope, I will make them experience Yahiko's pain."

Konan's face fell when she heard Yahiko's name; perhaps a world of mutual understanding simply doesn't exist.

As Furukawa Shu's Sage Chakra slowly spread through his meridians, a thought inexplicably arose in Konan's mind, and she subconsciously suggested, "Nagato, let me help you improve those puppets when we get back!"

"Since we've chosen remote control, we must be prepared to sacrifice all the puppets..."

Nagato agreed without any hesitation, then looked apologetic, patted his friend's shoulder, and left with his head down.

Konan finally snapped out of her daze, the turmoil she had just felt vanished. The girl instinctively touched her face, muttering to herself, "What...what's wrong with me? Why did I even have the thought of abandoning Yahiko..."

In mid-January, as news of the internal strife in Kirigakure continued to spread, the Konoha ninjas cherished their current happy and peaceful lives even more.

In the evening, Kakashi came to pick up Nohara Rin as usual. Puck, who was lying lazily beside him, suddenly trembled and a look of fear appeared on his dog face.

"Long time no see, Xiu!"

"Parker, what's with that expression?!"

"Were you sleeping in again, slacking off?"

Kakashi, who was leaning against the gate, greeted them and then bent down to pick up the dog. He had long disliked this sycophant, who only knew how to tattle to Nohara Rin.

"You've fully recovered! Sakumo-sensei will be so proud to see you like this now."

"Any more questions about Lightning Release ninjutsu? With the help of the secret medicine, you should be able to use the Black Lightning Secret Technique at your current level, right?"

As he spoke, Furukawa carefully sensed the surroundings. He had been in low-power Sage Mode all day, and after instantly extracting the Sage Chakra from Ryuchi Cave, his senses were amplified many times over.

Having survived a life-or-death ordeal, Kakashi's physical abilities were noticeably enhanced. When he transformed into a lightning-style chakra electric dog, the flow of chakra in his meridians was rapid, yet he controlled it with extreme precision.

"It's still not quite there. That power is difficult to control, and it's too hard to fuse with ordinary chakra!"

Kakashi became somewhat embarrassed at the end, saying that after taking the secret medicine, he had difficulty even releasing ordinary lightning release ninjutsu, let alone Chidori.

Furukawa Osamu underestimated the difficulty of using natural energy. Even a small amount is beyond the capabilities of an ordinary ninja: "It's alright, don't force yourself."

"With your current strength, as long as you keep training, you will only get stronger."

Parker saw the small silver snake at Furukawa Osamu's waist and was about to speak, but after blinking twice, he suddenly realized that it was just an ordinary short sword.

The dog looked up again and vaguely saw a phantom snake shadow on Furukawa Osamu's shoulder. It instinctively widened its eyes, but found nothing there.

Parker sensed that Furukawa Osamu's chakra aura had returned to normal. The dog patted its cheek with its front paw and muttered to itself near Kakashi's arm, "Was I still half asleep?"

"You're getting more and more unruly. You didn't even greet Xiu when you saw him. You can forget about getting steak tonight."

Kakashi tossed Pakkun aside, and only then did the dog notice that Furukawa Osamu had disappeared. A thoughtful expression crossed the dog's face, and finally, it whispered a reminder: "Hey, Kakashi! Don't you feel a chill run down your spine?"

"That chakra is something no human could possibly possess."

Kakashi looked on with a puzzled expression, picked Puck up again, stared at him with deadpan eyes, and muttered, "Have you eaten too much? A dog should just sit back and gnaw on a bone instead of spouting nonsense."

"I didn't feel anything, but Xiu was indeed taller and full of life."

97

"Speaking of which, it should be considered another improvement, since a strong body can generate more chakra..."

Parker tried to explain, but Kakashi tossed him aside.

When Nohara Rin ran over, the girl smiled and grabbed Kakashi's arm, happily sharing the fun things that happened at work that day. Puck sighed helplessly at the sight, a look of doubt returning to his dog-like face: "Could it be that I sensed something wrong?"

In the dead of night, in the dense forest of Shikub, all the slugs, big and small, showed curious expressions. Their clones would occasionally communicate with each other, and soft, sweet voices would constantly ring out.

Furukawa Osamu wasn't consciously controlling the conversion of Sage Chakra; under the manipulation of the spirit, a massive amount of life force began to surge into his cells.

Under the influence of this force, Ashura's chakra, which had mostly remained dormant, began to slowly cover the ordinary chakra in his body, and his cells began a new round of transformation.

The White Snake Sage hoped to change his life form and evolve into a dragon, but Osamu Furukawa didn't have that kind of delusion. He just hoped that his body could be fully adapted to Ashura's chakra.

Only when the cells stopped absorbing this power did Furukawa Osamu end his training. The slugs crawled over and carefully sensed it, exclaiming in admiration, "A marvelous application of Sage Chakra!"

"So the White Snake Sage hasn't given up after all. Can a snake really transform into a dragon?"

"By focusing on controlling life force, Master Xiu can shorten his cultivation time."

Before Furukawa could respond, a massive living creature suddenly approached from above, waving its tentacles and cheerfully saying, "With this life force, Master Shu can help Tsunade conceive."

"Breaking racial barriers, the White Snake Sage has made tremendous progress over the past thousand years!"

The slugs, big and small, began discussing the concept of procreation. Furukawa Osamu, his head spinning, finally sighed and reminded them, "You said you were going to study the fusion of Indra's and Ashura's chakra, what life...?"

"Lord Xiu, this is an extraordinary ability! You could use it to create a completely new race!"

The slugs remained enthusiastic, and Furukawa Osamu's eyes twitched slightly as he listened. Even if he were a sadist, he wouldn't produce any strange offspring; the thought was terrifying.

"We can try it in two more years, Master Xiu?!"

"Bang..."

"How did you break the spell on the spirit medium, Master Xiu?"
