Start with a Zanpakuto and build the strongest Mist Village

The bloodthirsty shark roared in, and before Kazahana Noto could even finish speaking, he was devoured by the chakra shark. Kazahana Koyuki and Santayu had no time to react. In their eyes, Kazahana Noto, who seemed like an invincible demon, was killed in less than a few minutes.

"And that's how it ends..."

Kazakura Koyuki stared blankly at Kazakura Nutō, who was now lifeless and being held in Kisame's hand, unsure whether to laugh or cry.

San Taifu's condition wasn't much better either. He had prepared to escape with Fuuka Koyuki, but he never expected that his tentative request for help would actually kill Fuuka Nutao!

Is this the power of Kirigakure that defeated Konoha?

"The Fourth Hokage once told me that we could help you reclaim your position as king and restore your kingdom." Kisame Hoshigaki tossed the Wind Flower Angry Wave in front of the two of them: "But there's no such thing as a free lunch. You'll have to pay the price."

"We can add more money, five million taels, no, ten million taels!"

The third wife said hurriedly.

Ten million taels is the limit that the Land of Snow can afford, and it may even have to be paid in installments.

If Kazeka Koyuki were to reclaim the Snow Country, she would definitely have to take some actions to appease the people, and those actions would cost money.

"We are willing to offer ten million taels of silver, and we hope that the esteemed members of Kirigakure will..."

"You want the Land of Snow too, don't you!" Kazahana Koyuki suddenly spoke up, her words causing the three Kirigakure members to narrow their eyes, and making Santaiyu's expression freeze, with even a look of fear appearing in his eyes.

My little darling, what are you talking about?!

That terrifying ninjutsu, like a natural disaster, is a power we simply cannot contend with. Instead of clinging to their coattails, we're provoking them like this—aren't we just asking for trouble?

“My lords, Xiaoxue is still young, and children speak without thinking, so…”

"We have no interest in the barren Land of Snow." Kisame Hoshigaki looked calmly at Koyuki Fuuka: "The climate is frigid, it is located on the edge of the ninja world, it has no population, no resources, and no future for development. Even if such a country were given to Kirigakure for free, the Fourth Hokage probably wouldn't bother to manage it."

"I just hope you can make the price clear. Otherwise, if you can't provide something of equal value after the mission is over and we have to come and collect it ourselves, it will seriously affect the future cooperation between our two countries."

"Yes, yes, yes, what you say is absolutely right, sir. We will definitely give you the full reward for the mission, ten million taels! At least ten million taels!"

"Third Master, we don't have ten million taels."

"There's something in the national treasury..."

"There's none in the national treasury either. When my father sent me out, I saw the state of the national treasury. Let alone ten million taels, we couldn't even come up with one million taels."

You are my ancestor, you really are my ancestor!

The third lord looked utterly despairing.

Does he not know the current situation in the Land of Snow? Of course he does, but it is precisely for this reason that he has to coax and deceive to get close to Kirigakure first!

Taking advantage of this great help, first reclaiming the Snow Kingdom, and then slowly saving up to pay back the debt, isn't that the best choice? My little darling, you're ruining your future with your own hands!

"Is that so?"

“I admire honest people, but I cannot disobey the Fourth Master’s orders, so…”

Kisame Hoshigaki revealed a somewhat eerie smile.

“You can inherit your country, and we will take back what we deserve.”

……

"What a magnificent sight!"

Within the Land of Snow, a rainbow-colored ice wall.

Wearing the robes of the Fourth Mizukage, Mizuki Yoru descended upon this place with the power of reverse summoning. After looking around, he finally fixed his gaze on the ice wall that shimmered with a seven-colored light in the dim light, and exclaimed with some emotion, "I never thought that the Land of Snow could create such a wonder!"

Rainbow Ice Wall is not an ordinary ice wall, but a valley nestled between three snow-capped mountains.

The winding snow-capped mountain has been sculpted into six massive rectangular ice walls, each hundreds of meters high, forming a regular hexagonal shape.

The ice wall is smooth and crystal clear, standing like a mirror among the snow-capped mountains, shimmering with iridescent colors in the dim light.

At the center of the six ice walls is a wide and flat hexagonal ice-carved altar. Inside the altar is a small and exquisite pavilion with a roof made of glazed tiles and six small upturned corners that echo the six ice walls. Inside the pavilion is a stone platform with a keyhole.

"Fourth Boss, according to the legend of the Snow Country's royal family, the Snow Country's secret treasure lies beneath this rainbow ice wall!"

Kisame Hoshigaki, carrying Samehada on his back, whispered, "The previous ruler of the Land of Snow spent a great deal of resources to build this place, which is one of the reasons why Fuuka Notto usurped the throne. In his view, this place must hide a vast treasure or a secret power that could enable the Land of Snow to conquer the ninja world!"

"Saying it will conquer the ninja world is a bit of an exaggeration, but there is indeed a huge amount of energy hidden underground."

Ye gazed at the patterns on the altar. In the original story, beneath this rainbow ice wall was a massive geothermal generator. Once activated, it would melt away the decades-long winter that had enveloped the Snow Kingdom in the blink of an eye.

This machine is indeed a creation that Kazaka Hayama poured her life's work into, but it has little value to Yoru.

Of course, the purpose of the night was never the so-called geothermal generator, but the energy that drives the geothermal generator!

"If we restrict the area a little, the commotion that follows might be a bit big."

"Yes, Fourth Hokage!"

Kisame Hoshigaki, understanding the situation, formed hand seals and released the Hidden Mist Technique, simultaneously channeling a massive amount of chakra into the mist to ensure that even sound could not travel.

Seeing Kisame's actions, Yoru nodded in satisfaction, then suddenly raised his left foot and kicked down hard.

In an instant, the ice beneath Kisame and Yoru shattered, revealing a huge, black instrument. At the end of the instrument was a spell pattern resembling a seal.

"Although the sealing method is crude, when combined with scientific ninja tools, this power can be utilized... Truly, science and education are the key to national prosperity!"

Ye smacked his lips and took out something he had prepared beforehand from the scroll.

A gourd-shaped sealing vessel made using purple clay glue.

The so-called purple clay glue is a special sealing material used in the ninja world to create seals for high-intensity chakra such as that of tailed beasts. It can effectively isolate chakra, and when combined with special techniques, even a tailed beast as powerful as it is cannot break through this sealing vessel.

This material is extremely expensive and rare; even within the Hidden Mist Village, its stock is limited. However, as the Mizukage, Yoru can still utilize a considerable amount.

"Then what happens next..."

"The Four Symbols Unlocked!"

The all-powerful Four Symbols Seal-Unsealing Technique forcefully broke through the crude sealing technique.

The primordial nature of chakra allows powerful chakra to have an absolute suppressive effect on weak chakra. The Four Symbols Release Seal is stronger than this sealing technique, so even if the key and lock are not the same, it can still be forcibly opened!

woohoo hoo...

Suddenly, a strong wind swept through the area, howling and whipping up snow, causing the temperature to drop even further.

The pitch-black machine began to stir, but without the sealing technique, the geothermal generator could not function properly. After only a few roars, cracking sounds came from inside, indicating that the machine was breaking under the impact of chakra.

"Squeak!"

Samehada, which was behind Kisame Hoshigaki, also sensed this massive amount of chakra and became restless.

"Fourth Hokage, this!"

"Don't panic, control it." Night glanced at the restless Samehada and said in a deep voice, "Samehada is a good weapon, but a weapon is always a weapon. It is a tool, something that we control, not something that controls us."

"I can see that you are a perfect match for this sword. Master it, and you will become one of the newest Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist!"

"Yes, Fourth Hokage!"

Amid Kisame's excited shouts, the howling hurricane grew stronger and stronger.

The surrounding snow and wind were whipped up by the hurricane, spinning rapidly around the altar like a tornado, resembling a frozen apocalypse, suffocating everyone.

The earth began to tremble.

Cracks covered the soles of my feet, and in a short time, the entire ground cracked into pieces like tortoise shell patterns.

"What immense power! It seems my trip wasn't in vain!"

Sensing the turbulence of chakra, Night's gaze grew increasingly excited. In the instant he went completely berserk, his figure suddenly appeared beside the broken geothermal generator, the sealing gourd in his hand pointing directly at the entrance from which chakra was constantly surging.

"Draw!"

With a low shout, the gourd's mouth suddenly opened, and then a huge suction force emanated from the gourd's mouth. Countless dense sealing incantations also spread outwards from the gourd's mouth.

In just a few breaths, the massive geothermal generator was completely enveloped by the incantation, and the chakra that caused the surrounding world to change color became even more restless with the appearance of this sealing incantation!

"This is!"

"The Fourth Hokage is actually sealing this chakra?!"

Kisame Hoshigaki naturally saw what Yoru was doing at that moment and was greatly alarmed.

This chakra is so vast that it may not be comparable to that of a tailed beast, but sealing it away would still be extremely difficult.

However, Mizuki Yoru easily began sealing this massive amount of chakra on her own.

"Truly worthy of being the Fourth Hokage, even his sealing techniques are..."

To Kisame's astonishment, countless amounts of chakra were continuously absorbed into the sealing gourd.

The commotion around them gradually subsided until finally, the tremors completely disappeared, leaving only thick streams of chakra being continuously absorbed by the sealing gourd.

"almost."

"seal up!"

Watching the chakra grow increasingly sparse, Ye Xin satisfiedly activated the Chakra Sealing Technique.

All the sealing spells on the surface of the sealed gourd began to glow. Under the layers of sealing spells, a wooden plug was stuffed into the mouth of the sealed gourd by Ye.

The Snow Country's chakra has been successfully captured!

With this amount of chakra, it would be excellent whether to use it as a source of chakra for the Hidden Mist Duel Tower or to conduct some chakra experiments.

It can even be applied to various construction projects.

It can be said that this amount of chakra can greatly alleviate the various energy needs of Kirigakure, which is currently in a period of rapid development!

"Reverse Summoning won't last long, Kisame. I'm counting on you to keep an eye on chakra technology." After putting the sealing gourd into his pocket, Yoru patted Kisame on the shoulder: "Kisame, the swordsman of Kirigakure."

"Hehehe, thank you, Fourth Generation Lord!"

Kisame bared his sharp shark teeth, a broad smile on his face: "I'll handle everything!"

"Okay, then I'll be leaving now."

Reverse summoning consumes a great deal of chakra. Even if the summoning mark is placed on Kisame and he temporarily uses reverse summoning, he cannot sustain it for long.

Night vanished in a puff of white smoke, and Kisame Hoshigaki, who had already been acknowledged by Night, headed contentedly towards the Land of Snow to meet with Ayako and the others who had already taken action.

Ayako and Deng Pao Taro were originally members of the Kirigakure Cipher Department, and they were experts at collecting information, documents, and intelligence.

When Kisame returned, the two had already gathered all the technical information on various chakra technologies possessed by the Land of Snow.

"Everything is done!"

Ayako said with a smile, "Has Kisame-san's situation been resolved as well?"

"Yes, the Fourth Hokage came by and has officially handed Samehada over to me." Kisame Hoshigaki patted Samehada and laughed.

"Die, die!!!" x2

"The Fourth Hokage has actually come? Where is he? Where is he?"

"So, Kisame-san will be one of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist from now on? That's amazing!"

Deng Pao Taro looked left and right, while Ayako gazed at Kisame Hoshigaki's face, offering her heartfelt blessings, and winked playfully: "So, Mr. Kisame, to celebrate your official becoming one of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen, may I treat you to a meal?"

"W-what."

Kisame was stunned, staring incredulously at the girl's amber-like eyes.

"me……"

After completing their mission in the Land of Snow, Kisame Hoshigaki's squad didn't linger and left the Land of Snow immediately.

After Fuuka Noto's death, Kisame and the others only needed to make a brief appearance with Fuuka Koyuki, and all of Fuuka Noto's remaining followers surrendered. As the heir, Princess Fuuka Koyuki naturally became the new ruler of the Snow Country.

But it's clear that even Kisame Hoshigaki could see that the young Koyuki Fuuka was incapable of managing the country well. The future of the Land of Snow would either be one of powerful ministers in charge or one of renewed turmoil.

But all of this has nothing to do with them anymore.

Kisame Hoshigaki and his group moved quickly and soon left the Land of Snow, where the frigid climate gradually warmed up.

The Land of Snow is some distance from the Land of Water. The shortest route is to go directly through the Land of Earth and the Land of Fire to reach the City of Waves and enter the Land of Water.

However, in order to avoid attracting the attention of Iwagakure and Konoha, and to avoid some unnecessary trouble, Kisame Hoshigaki and his group did not choose this route, but instead prepared to travel through small countries such as the Land of Demons, the Land of Bears, and the Land of Birds.

Currently, many of these small countries are still in the midst of war and are home to a large number of wandering ninjas. However, compared to the two major powers, these small countries and wandering ninjas are obviously insignificant.

After all, they possess the 'Seven Ninja Swords'!

To Kisame Hoshigaki's team's surprise, they encountered trouble shortly after leaving the Land of Snow, traversing the Land of Demons, and arriving in the Land of Swamps.

boom! !
