The Seven Ninja Swordsmen

Chapter 73 The Seven Ninja Swordsmen

Just as the name of Flame Demon was becoming known throughout the ninja world, Danzo slammed the intelligence report onto the table.

"No! Such a genius has appeared in the Uchiha clan in such a short time; we must stop it!"

Danzo, leaning on his cane, immediately went to the Hokage's office.

bump!

Danzo flung the door open and shouted, "Hiruzen! We can't let the Uchiha continue like this! Otherwise, we might lose control of the situation!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi was speechless at Danzo's preemptive strike.

"Danzo, watch your words! Don't say anything that could undermine unity! The Uchiha are members of the village, and they are fighting valiantly for Konoha right now!"

"There are only the two of us here today, so I won't argue with you. But if you continue to speak like this and disrupt morale after we leave, I will definitely punish you!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi narrowed his eyes and took a piece of intelligence from Danzo's hand to read.

When Hiruzen Sarutobi saw that the Uchiha clan had repelled the Kirigakure's attack without losing a single line of defense, he couldn't help but nod.

The Uchiha clan may be arrogant, but they still possess considerable strength.

Despite being outnumbered, they didn't call for reinforcements and held the line on their own.

As expected of the number one powerful family in the ninja world.

Continuing down, we see Uchiha Hikaru's performance on the battlefield.

His mastery of fire-style techniques was unparalleled, and his swordsmanship was even more exquisite. He performed like a demon on the battlefield, earning him the nickname "Flame Demon" from the Mist Ninja.

In one battle, five special Jonin or higher-ranking ninjas died at the hands of Uchiha Teru, while ordinary Kirigakure ninjas were slaughtered in droves.

Moreover, Uchiha Kaguya's recovery ability was very strong. If the Kirigakure hadn't retreated quickly, Uchiha Kaguya could have continued to fight on the battlefield.

The Third Hokage suddenly felt that the cigarette in his hand no longer smelled good.

Seeing Hiruzen Sarutobi's appearance, Danzo knew it was time and said, "Shisui Uchiha has earned the title of 'Shisui of the Body Flicker,' and Teru Uchiha has the reputation of 'Flame Demon.' They are both young but have already reached the strength of Jonin. If they fully mature, the consequences will be unimaginable."

"Hiruzen! Leave this to me, I'll handle it!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi didn't want to agree, but he hesitated when he thought about Shisui's talent.

One Shisui might be the best among his peers, but if we add another Uchiha Hikaru with even greater talent, then it's game over.

Moreover, Uchiha Kaguya is a typical Uchiha, without the Will of Fire in his heart, so he's not easy to fool.

"Hiruzen! Have you forgotten Tobirama-sensei's teachings?!"

Danzo slammed his hand on the table, putting pressure on Hiruzen Sarutobi.

"Uchiha Shisui possesses the Will of Fire. He inherited Kagami's ideas and is a member of Konoha. I will not allow you to harm him."

"I see."

As for Uchiha Akira, Hiruzen Sarutobi didn't say anything, and Danzo Shimura didn't ask either.

Those who know, know; those who don't, you won't understand even if I explain.

When Danzo returned to the Root base, he recruited an elite member of the Root.

Is the Watermelon Pufferfish route still working properly?

"That's normal. Suigetsu Hozuki is willing to cooperate with us, and there haven't been any problems with these intelligence transactions."

A mechanical voice came from under the mask.

"Okay, tell Suigetsu Hozuki I want to eat fish!"

……

Mist Village.

The Third Mizukage lay on the chair, eyes closed, deep in thought.

"The Uchiha clan truly lives up to its reputation as a powerful ninja clan during the Warring States period; they are indeed difficult to deal with."

"The war situation is unfavorable, and the ninja clans are restless. This is really troublesome. It seems that the Blood Mist policy must continue to be implemented."

"However, I didn't expect the Seven Ninja Swordsmen to be dispatched so soon; it's much earlier than I predicted."

The next moment, the Third Mizukage opened his eyes and gave orders to the surrounding Anbu:

"Summon the Seven Ninja Swordsmen to my office; I have a mission for them."

A figure immediately disappeared from the hidden corner to carry out the Third Mizukage's orders.

The Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist are the most famous squad in Kirigakure, and can be considered the essence of the entire Kirigakure.

Seven powerful ninja swords, combined with elite Mist Ninja, form a squad whose average rank is that of an elite Jonin.

Rumor has it that the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist have the power to conquer a small country in a short period of time.

Whether the rumors are true or false is unknown, but the Mist Ninja believe them to be true and think that the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist are the strongest.

Having received the notification, Suigetsu Hozuki, carrying the enormous Samehada on his back, strolled leisurely toward the Mizukage's office, thoroughly enjoying the awe-inspiring gazes around him.

"I hope this isn't a dangerous mission. I don't want to go to the battlefield; it's too dangerous."

Suigetsu Hozuki arrived at the Mizukage's office and found that all the other ninja sword wielders were there.

With that, Suigetsu Hozuki calmed down. It seemed that this mission was not a solo operation, but rather the entire Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist were involved.

The Third Hokage, seated in his chair, opened his eyes, looked at the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, each with their own distinct style, and said calmly:

"Currently, the Mist Ninja led by Ao are performing poorly at the front line. They haven't even broken through the first line of defense of the Uchiha, let alone received support from the Konoha headquarters."

"We need you to tear a hole in the Uchiha's defenses and help the Mist Ninja on the front lines to break through the current situation."

After hearing the Mizukage's words, Suigetsu Hobuki cursed Ao as a useless piece of trash, then asked, "Mizukage-sama, should we break through and retreat, or continue to support the front lines?"

The Third Mizukage glanced at Suigetsu Hozuki, putting him under immense pressure.

"Just tear open a gap, and try to eliminate as much of the Uchiha's fighting force as possible. As for you, I have other plans."

"They're afraid of dying!"

The other members of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist looked at Suigetsu Hozuki with disdain, thinking that those who were afraid of death would never achieve great things.

Although the Seven Ninja Swordsmen are called the Seven Ninja Swordsmen, they do not have a good relationship with each other.

Each owner of a ninja sword believes themselves to be the chosen one, the strongest.

They don't care about other ninja sword wielders at all.

Suigetsu Hozuki didn't care at all. What was most important? Life was the most important thing. The village belonged to the Mizukage, but his life was his own.

Upon hearing that he wouldn't have to stay on the battlefield, he quickly declared, "I will definitely complete Mizukage-sama's mission!"

He spoke with conviction, and Watermelon Mountain Pufferfish Demon did not believe the mission would fail.

This time, all seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist were mobilized. Although Suigetsu Hozuki disliked the other sword wielders, he did not deny their strength.

"Go ahead, I'll be waiting for your good news."

The Third Mizukage closed his eyes again and issued an order to leave.

The seven immediately left, preparing to take a boat to the Land of Hot Springs to give the Uchiha clan a surprise.

A great battle is about to unfold.

The Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist were very confident in themselves. They would fight and run, making it difficult for Konoha to send anyone to surround and kill them.

Moreover, the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist can be considered part of the highest fighting force in Kirigakure.

Tell me, how can you lose when a dragon charges at your face?

They can't just go out and run into a monster that can take on all seven of them.

No way, no way, surely no one really thinks such a coincidence could happen.
