One Dragon Tail Kick will shatter your Susanoo dream!

Suddenly, the man with the pointed face and monkey-like features experienced a blur before his eyes, followed by a sharp pain. Looking down at the source of the pain, he discovered that a kunai had been inserted into his chest without his knowledge.

"Damn it, when did I fall under an illusion?"

Filled with resentment and doubt, the man died in the alley, while his two other companions had already passed away after being cremated without any remains.

He had age spots on his face, a slight upturn at the corners of his mouth, and a gentle tone.

"We've got our target. Black Zetsu finds this so-called nobleman, and we're going to kill him!"

Uchiha Hikaru's Sharingan gradually returned to normal, and he casually threw the leftover stick into the trash can.

"Let's go, Lord Madara..."

Madara, in his own way, guided Uchiha Hikaru through trials, while Kusashi, to enrich the village's bloodline limit ninja, chose to visit his friend, the Kaguya clan...

Upon arriving at the coastline, Cao Zhi discovered that no boats were willing to set sail. As he was scratching his head in distress, a tall, dark-skinned man approached him.

"Brother, if you want to go to Kirigakure, just add a little more money and I'll take you there!"

The price was increased tenfold from the original price, and the dark-skinned man, carrying the herb, set off on a fishing boat!

After a long journey, before the boat even reached the shore, the dark-skinned man suddenly stepped into the water and left the fishing boat, followed by a violent explosion.

The fishing boat was blown to pieces. The dark-skinned man, who had been hiding at sea, removed his disguise and became a Hidden Mist ninja.

"It should be resolved by now. These spies are really troublesome..."

"Oh, what happened?"

The ninja's expression changed drastically. He was about to escape in a flash, but the back of his neck, a symbol of his fate, had already been grabbed by the other party.

After some severe interrogation, Kusashiba finally managed to get the other party to talk. It turned out that due to the mysterious death of the Third Mizukage, the newly appointed Yagura, although he rose to power through sheer strength, did not possess the Three-Tails and was ultimately only mediocre among Kage-level fighters.

After taking office, the other party killed a large number of his rivals, all of whom were powerful members of bloodline ninja clans, causing discord within and outside the village. In addition, the matter of retrieving the Three-Tails caused conflict with the ninja clans.

After Yagura advocated restoring the village's strength, he denounced Konoha. However, the Kaguya clan, the pro-war faction, stubbornly believed that this was a sign of cowardice, so they led a group of bloodline ninja to oppose the other side!

Internally, ninja clans launched successive rebellions. Although Yagura was able to suppress them forcefully each time, he was simply unable to spare the time. Externally, the various ninja villages were teeming with spies and secret agents. Left with no other choice, Yagura had to close the country off from the world.

Two months ago, Kirigakure issued a ban on ships. From then on, unless they were purchasing necessary supplies, any outsiders who approached Kirigakure, whether merchants or civilians, would be executed for espionage!

Kusashi, with his brazenness in searching for boats along the coastline, naturally became a target. Moreover, during this time, they kept all the property they obtained from the outsiders they killed, so the Kirigakure also developed greed...

After recounting all the information he had learned, the Mist Ninja looked at Kusashi with pleading eyes.

"You will keep your promise and let me go, sir?"

"How dare you question me! This child must not be allowed to live, die!"

"You @*h!"

Filled with resentment and greed, the mist-ninja was blown away by the wind, returning to dust and ashes, and fell into eternal slumber.

Kusaji changed his form and began to gather information about Kirigakure. By chance, he ended up on an island and found a group of Kirigakure ninja fighting each other.

In the arena, about ten Mist Ninja were surrounded by nearly a hundred people, and the person in charge of the operation was an acquaintance!

The towering Watermelon Pufferfish Demon, holding his ninja sword high, was seen slashing at the ninjas blocking his path.

Each time the opponent was hit, their body would turn into a puddle of water, avoiding fatal damage. However, as time went on, the water-formed Mist Ninja would gradually collapse as their chakra was exhausted.

In the end, only one boy remained, carrying a McDull bag. He had sharp teeth and spoke with disdain.

"You attacked me for a baseless accusation, you pufferfish demon, you really are a good person!"

Watermelon Mountain Pufferfish Domino tilted his head to dodge the bullet-like liquid shot from the opponent's fingers, and grinned mockingly.

"I was merely following the Fourth Hokage's orders,"

"Who told you Hozuki clan to have such inappropriate thoughts!"

Suigetsu Hozuki raised his ninja sword and secretly pierced the hair behind his back, which was in a blind spot, into the ground, launching a surprise attack on Hozuki Mangetsu, who was engaged in battle. However, the opponent was very alert and used water transformation to dodge the fatal blow the moment the hair appeared.

Seeing this, Watermelon Mountain Pufferfish Demon couldn't help but curse under his breath.

"Troublesome little devil!"

Hozuki Mangetsu lived up to his reputation as a prodigy from Kirigakure who had achieved fame at a young age, summoning several special ninja swords (weapons of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist) in one go, cutting down Suigetsu Hozuki and forcing him to retreat repeatedly, while the hatred in Hozuki's eyes became increasingly obvious.

"Damn it, I warned you long ago to hand over the remaining ninja swords. If you hadn't been so stubborn and refused to return them, preventing the formation of a new Seven Ninja Swordsmen, how could Lord Yagura have considered you a threat!"

Hozuki Mangetsu chuckled indifferently and raised his twin swords, Hiramekarei.

"You think that getting another ninja sword will solidify your status as one of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist? Trash is trash!"

"Hirame flounder freed!"

Gas suddenly emerged from the round hole of the flounder, and then both swords glowed, forming a chakra agglomeration. They unleashed a chakra ball, which shot towards the direction of Suigetsu Hobutaki.

The opponent dodged, but his subordinates behind him were not so lucky and were blown to pieces. Just as the two were fiercely fighting, a figure quietly approached.

Facing Hozuki Mangetsu, who was immune to physical attacks and wielded the ninja sword with exceptional skill, Suigetsu Hozuki grew increasingly impatient. This caused him to inadvertently expose a weakness, which was first fixed by the opponent with stitches, and then finished off with a powerful Water Arm Technique.

His arm muscles bulged, and he nearly knocked him off his feet with a single punch. Just as Hozuki Mangetsu slowly stepped forward, preparing to kill Suigetsu Hozuki, a sudden change occurred!

A ball of lightning descended from the sky, paralyzing the remaining Hozuki ninja, along with Hozuki Mangetsu, rendering them unable to move and revealing their true, powerless forms.

"Damn it, there are clearly no powerful Lightning Release ninjas left in the village, how could someone possibly use such a powerful Lightning Release!"
