This Water Shadow is very strong, but overly cautious.

But right now, the replacement of the Three-Tails Jinchuriki is at a critical moment, and he cannot leave.

He can't leave here until the seal of the three tails is completely broken.

Fortunately, with the previous guidance of Mizunoe Ryosuke, many backup plans were made.

Otherwise, if he really knew nothing, and Karutagi Yagura suddenly appeared at this time, Mizunoe Taki would definitely be dead.

"Please, everyone."

After muttering something in his heart, Mizunoe Ryosuke covered his mouth and coughed twice, then turned his gaze back to Okubo.

The edge of the foggy lake.

A large number of Anbu ninjas gathered here. All the ninjas who were able to join the Anbu were elites in the Hidden Mist Village.

The entire Kirigakure Ninja Village currently has a total of more than 10,000 active ninjas, and more than half of them are just Genin with insufficient talent.

There should be about 3,000 Chunins, and only about 3% of the Kirigakure ninjas can reach the high level of ninja - Jonin.

In a battle of this level, Genin can basically play no role.

Therefore, both Karatachi Yagura and Mizunoe Taki tacitly excluded the "Genin".

If this happened in Konoha, it would be equivalent to a loss of 100 million after rounding off.

But who made this happen in Kirigakure?

Ever since Karutagi Yagura succeeded to the position of Anbu Minister, the Anbu has continued to expand in his hands.

The number of people even expanded to more than a thousand, which was once close to one-tenth of the entire Kirigakure ninja base!

Among them, the proportion of high-level ninjas is extremely exaggerated.

Except for nearly a hundred jonin in Anbu, the rest are at the chunin level.

This directly accounts for one-third of Kirigakure's high-end combat power, which is indeed a bit exaggerated.

It was precisely because of this that Karuta Yagura dared to openly raise the banner of rebellion.

At this moment, except for about one-fifth of the ninjas who were placed in the Anbu by the Mizukage, the remaining nearly a thousand Anbu ninjas all gathered at the edge of the Mist Lake.

In addition, there is a special team full of toughness led by Kaguya Ichiro.

This team is composed entirely of elite members of the Kaguya clan. In addition to the clan leader Kaguya Ichiro, there are four elite-level jonin, more than ten jonin, and dozens of chuunin.

Most of these people have awakened the blood of the corpse bone veins and are good at fighting two people of the same level at once.

In addition, the Hyuga clan is characterized by fighting without regard for life, so this team is definitely a sharp knife that can tear through the enemy's defense line.

Chapter 51: Minister An's Plan

In addition, there were two extremely "eccentric" people standing very casually beside Karuta Yagura.

"Hey, Anbu-san."

"Remember what you promised me!"

A man holding a huge broken blade and with an extremely arrogant expression spoke to Goji Yagura without any respect.

The man had short black hair, no eyebrows, very sharp teeth, and strange red stripes on his mouth.

There is a large cross-shaped scar on the right side of his face, and his ears and neck are wrapped in bandages.

This person is none other than Biwa Juzo, the current wielder of the Broken Blade, the beheading sword, of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen.

The fresh blood had not yet faded from the beheading sword in Biwa Juzo's hand, and there was a ninja's corpse under his feet.

This ninja was the one who was assigned by the Third Mizukage to guard around the Mist Lake, and now he has died at the hands of Biwa Juzo.

And beside Biwa Juzo, there was a ninja whose gender could not be identified at all.

This ninja is even more bizarre than Biwa Juzo. At first glance, it is impossible to tell his gender.

The ninja has a yellow hedgehog head and a mask on his face that covers his entire face. His limbs are long and slender, and from a distance he looks like a spider in the jungle.

This person is also one of the current Seven Ninja Swordsmen, the user of the long sword and sewing needle - Kurisai Kushimaru.

Kurisai Kushimaru said nothing, but just stayed quietly beside Biwa Juzo, looking at Karuta Yagura with cold eyes, and also had no intention of respecting the other party at all.

"Don't worry, after it's done."

"I will help you ascend to the position of leader of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen."

"besides"

"From now on, call me the Fourth Mizukage!"

Karatachi Yagura didn't seem to care at all about the arrogant attitude of the two members of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen. Instead, he showed a sinister smile and responded with an even more arrogant attitude.

"Hahahahahaha!!!!!!"

"Not bad!"

"It sounds like that answer will earn you a lot of points!"

"That's it, my Lord, the Fourth Mizukage."

There was a hint of madness in Biwa Juzo's eyes, and there was also a hint of admiration in his eyes when he looked at Goji Yagura.

On the other hand, Kaguya Ichiro, the patriarch of the Kaguya clan who usually seems carefree, is unusually calm at this moment.

"No more nonsense."

"Everyone, please lend me a hand."

"After this is accomplished, the benefits I promised you will definitely not be less!"

"Under my leadership, the village will move towards a brand new and bright future!"

"Now"

"Let's send that old fellow, the Third Generation, down to meet the First and Second Generations!"

As Karuta Yagura raised his arm and shouted, the supporters beside him immediately let out a thunderous shout.

"Follow the plan and attack!"

A gleam of brilliance flashed in Goju Yagura's eyes. According to his estimation, it was just the right time to take action.

The seal of the Three-Tails is probably being released at a critical moment, and Mizunoe Taki has no time to spare.

At that time, defeating the opponent will be effortless.

In order to avoid accidents, Karuta Yagura had already made a reasonable plan.

With an order, nearly half of the Anbu ninjas quickly dispersed to the surrounding areas of the Mist Lake.

In less than five minutes, a huge barrier was formed, dividing the Lake of Mist into two parts, inner and outer.

If outsiders want to enter the Mist Lake, they must first break the barrier formed by hundreds of Anbu elites.

This barrier is similar to the Four Purple Yang Formation used by Orochimaru to assassinate the Third Hokage in the original work, and the effect is also very similar.

It is a secret ninjutsu among the Anbu.

"Chief Kaguya, you stay here and guard the barrier."

"As expected, the Mizunoe clan's ninjas, upon seeing what happened at the Mist Lake, will undoubtedly mobilize their entire clan to come and reinforce."

"Then they will be left to you to deal with. I think this should be in line with your expectations, Chief Kaguya."

"Don't worry, once I've dealt with the old guy inside, I'll come out and help you deal with the Mizunoe clan."

Karujutsu Yagura said this with a grin, his expression extremely confident.

"Don't worry, I will do my best."

"How could a man from Kaguya be afraid of casualties?"

There was a flash of determination in Kaguya Ichiro's eyes. This kind of look was not unfamiliar to Karuta Yagura. He had seen it in the eyes of many Anbu assassins.

Seeing Kaguya Ichiro's "awakening", Karuta Yagura nodded with satisfaction.

He also secretly sneered in his heart and muttered: "Huuye's young man is really easy to use. He is willing to work so hard with just a little coaxing."

Little did he know that Kaguya Ichiro's "awakening" was not what he thought.

"Since Yuta has succeeded, I don't have to worry about anything."

Kaguya Ichiro said secretly in his heart, and at the same time, there was a hint of extremely secret pity in his eyes when he looked at Karuta Yagura.

"He probably doesn't know that his plan has been discovered by the Sandaime."

"What kind of trap awaits this Anbu Minister?"

Of course, Karuta Yagura had no idea of ​​Kaguya Ichiro's abnormality and was still content with his own plan.

"Broken Blade Biwa Juzo, Long Blade Kurishan Kushimaru, you and I will fight our way straight to the island."

"I think Watermelon Mountain and Black Hoe are already waiting for you there."

"I will deal with the third generation myself."

A sharp light flashed in Karuju Yagura's eyes.

He had already calculated all the possible cards that the Third Mizukage Taki Mizunoe might have in his hands.

In order to defeat the Third Mizukage safely, Karatachi Yagura would certainly not play a one-on-one duel with the Third.

Otherwise, why would he invite the Iwagakure?

For this purpose, he even specially invited the Rock Ninja's Explosive Release to restrain the Third Generation's Ice Release.

When the time comes to deal with Mizunoe Taki, the Iwagakure hiding nearby will be the last straw that breaks the camel's back for the Third Mizukage.

Thinking of this, Karuju Yagura felt a little uneasy.

Because until this moment, this group of Rock Ninjas still did not appear in his sight.

Although this also complies with the original requirement of "not exposing the cooperative relationship between the two parties."

But he still felt a little uneasy in his heart.

"I think, at the critical moment, these guys will take action."

Karuju Yagura forced himself to comfort himself and calm the anxiety in his heart.

Everything was attributed to the fact that "Iwa Ninja are good at hiding."

(Please give me flowers, votes, and support, thank you!).

Chapter 52: Civil War among the Seven Ninja Swordsmen

After leaving the Hguya clan and half of the Anbu ninjas to guard and maintain the barrier, Karatachi Yagura led most of the remaining Anbu ninjas and two members of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen to rush towards the island in the middle of the lake.

The ninjas jumped and moved on the water and soon arrived near the island in the middle of the lake.

The small island in the middle of the lake is not very large, only about less than one thousand square meters.

In the center of the island, there is a small hut.

The ceremony of replacing the Three-Tails Jinchuriki is currently taking place in the hut.

On the island in the middle of the lake, nearly a hundred ninjas from the Mizukage Guard and the Mizukage camp were standing by in full battle formation.

Leading the way were two ninjas, each carrying a unique long sword.

Big Knife. Watermelon Mountain Pufferfish Ghost!

Thunder Blade. Black Hoe Thunder Fang!

Everything happened just as Karuta Yagura had expected. The only high-end combat forces that could appear were two of the seven people who usually obeyed the Mizukage.

The Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Ninja, this elite organization within the Hidden Mist Village, was originally established to serve the Mizukage and handle some difficult tasks.

With the death of the Second Mizukage.

The members of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen gradually became disunited and each went their own way.

They never even went on a mission together again.

The wielders of the large swords Samehada and Raitoga are closer to the Mizukage, while the wielders of the Broken Sword Beheading Blade and the long sword Sewing Needle are closer to the An Chief Minister Karatachi Yagura.

As for the remaining three, they neither approached the Mizukage nor obeyed the Anbu.

It holds a special position among the Seven.
