NOVEL NEXT Chapter 14: Dividing the pot afterwards
Kaguya Rei and others did not encounter any obstacles on their way back.
After all, at this moment, the two countries of Water and Fire have not formally declared war, and the main force of the Fire Country is still on the border between the Fire Country, the Thunder Country, and the Earth Country, guarding the two remaining countries. There is no formal truce between the old rivals.
Even if the high-level officials of Konoha Village had received information from Kakashi Hatake, they would never have had time to temporarily pull up a line of defense on the border of the Land of Fire that was enough to catch Rei Kaguya and others in one fell swoop.
Unless the person who received the message first was Namikaze Minato who was on standby.
But if it was the fastest yellow flash in the ninja world, how could he wait until Rei Kaguya and others evacuated from the Land of Fire to rush to the battlefield?
Therefore, Kaguya Rei and his party were able to successfully return to Kirigakure Village in the evening of the next day.
…
"The above is the entire process of this mission and the reasons for its ultimate failure, Third Generation."
In the Mizukage's office, Kaguya Rei, who was wearing an assassination force mask, submitted the mission report that he had written while taking time on the road, and quietly waited for the third Mizukage's browsing and reply.
Even after learning that the mission failed, two veteran jounin were killed, only six of the dozens of Anbu who infiltrated the Land of Fire came back alive, and the three-tailed Isobutsu also fell into a long cooling-down period for resurrection, the Third Mizukage His face did not show many emotional changes. He quietly read Kaguya Rei's mission report, then pointed to a piece of text on the scroll and asked in a deep tone:
"An intruder who possesses the Mangekyo Sharingan, which is a step further than the Three Magatama Sharingan, and can also use what is suspected to be the Wood Release Ninjutsu... Rei, is this information absolutely reliable?"
"I heard about the Mangekyo Sharingan from an ANBU senior who experienced the Second Ninja War after the battle."
"Because the time and space ninjutsu used by the intruder is not any secret technique that I know, and the shape of his Sharingan is not the traditional magatama shape, so I judge that it should be him activating The special pupil technique obtained during the Mangekyō Sharingan."
"As for the suspected ability of Wood Release... I haven't heard of any blood-inherited boundary and secret techniques other than Wood Release that can spawn a large number of trees as strong as steel in a short period of time."
Kaguya Rei explained the reasons why he made these judgments without being arrogant or humble. After listening to Kaguya Rei's explanation, the Third Mizukage put down the information scroll in his hand, looked at Kaguya Rei with interest and said:
"Wood Release, Mangekyou Sharingan... Senju Hashirama and Uchiha Madara were able to achieve a status much higher than other ninjas in troubled times, break the traditions of the Warring States Period, and establish the current ninja village system. It is the power of Wood Release and Mangekyo Sharingan.
Without exaggeration, if the relationship between the Uchiha clan and the Senju clan was close enough to exchange blood, then the current Konoha Village should be so powerful that no ninja village dares to challenge them. . "
"Fortunately, the hatred between Senju and Uchiha is deep enough that it is difficult to completely eliminate it even if they live in the same village. This gave the other four ninja villages time to develop and grow, allowing us to give birth to Yukiha Ye's ambition to fight for hegemony...
But now you tell me that Konoha has trained a young ninja who possesses the power of both the Mangekyō Sharingan and the Wooden Release without anyone knowing? You really brought back a huge problem for me, Lian. "
Kaguya Rei did not respond, but silently waited for the Third Mizukage to make a judgment on this issue.
After thinking for a while, the Third Mizukage sighed and asked Rei Kaguya, who was waiting for orders:
"Does anyone else know this news besides you?"
"The five Anbu members who were separated from us also witnessed the battle of that Konoha ninja."
"Separated...?"
The Third Mizukage squinted his eyes meaningfully and thought for a while, then expressed his judgment to Kaguya Rei with his hands behind his back:
"Then, Reiyou, please stay in the village for three days. If they return to Kirigakure and return to me within three days, we will only hold them responsible for retreating from the battle. If after three days, any of them If there are still people who haven’t returned to the village... Lian, that’s your job.”
"Yes, the Third Generation." Kaguya Rei lowered his head, indicating that he already knew what his next mission was.
"Also, tell the people who came back with you that the information about the ninja who possesses both the Mangekyou Sharingan and the Wood Release must not be leaked to others in any way."
"This information must be permanently sealed as a top secret that only the Mizukage is qualified to view."
"Yes...but if we conceal the existence of that Uchiha, how can we explain the heavy casualties of this mission to other jounin?"
Kaguya Rei paused and asked the Third Mizukage what he cared about very much, about the reasons for the failure of the mission and the division of responsibility for the failure.
"Let's just say that you met someone among the Sannin of Konoha, and then after Matsuda and Ringo died in the battle, you were forced to give up the mission and choose to retreat..."
The Third Mizukage sighed and shook his head, "Although this statement is not enough to give you a reputation that matches your actual achievements, it is not enough to make you considered incompetent by the elders in the village. .”
"I understand." Kaguya nodded with satisfaction.
"Go back and be on standby. In the coming days, there will be many tasks that you will need to lead, Lian."
…
Watching Kaguya Rei disappear outside the gate of the Mizukage building, the third Mizukage put away his complicated eyes, and his expression slowly became stiff. He returned to his desk and sat down, using He tapped his fingers lightly on the table and whispered to himself with empty eyes:
"Ignore the attack of Wood Release and Cutting Technique, and be able to withstand the strangulation of Wood Release and Hell's Rebellion, and perform the Kaguya clan's strongest Hayabusa Dance, and also discover Obito's character in such a short encounter The kid has a flaw in his kaleidoscope ability, and he also knows how to hide his true trump card...
Hum hum hum, Kirigakure also has a pretty capable brat. No wonder even the idiots from the Kaguya clan who only think about killing will try their best to pave the way for your promotion. "
"Unfortunately, I have already chosen Obito as my successor. In that case, you will be of no use..."
"But speaking of it, that brat Obito seems to have a lot of hatred for you... Heh, then I'll let you live a little longer and gain more fame.
If he knew that the target of his hatred was growing into Kirigakure's pillar and hero at an astonishing speed, Obito would be even more motivated to become stronger. "
"As for the other survivors... just arrange for them to die in the next war."
…
After walking into many secluded alleys and corners, but never waiting for the assassination he expected, Rei Kaguya also silently put away the thoughts he had maintained since he walked into the third Mizukage's office. On alert, he curled his lips in displeasure.
"Tsk, this old fox Madara is so tolerant... Even though receiving the news that Obito was fucked to pieces by me would only make me return to Kirigakure Village faster, he didn't show any intention to rely on being controlled by him. The power of Kirigakure Village can be used to target my thoughts."
"Are you worried that Kirigakure Village, where the Seven Ninja Swordsmen are gone, is not completely sure that they can keep me here? Or...do you also have other thoughts about me?"
"Forget it, it doesn't matter what Uchiha Madara thinks. In the war years, I could only accumulate cards and become stronger faster than the limit you imagined. When you, an old guy, finish teaching, Obito will die. After that, it depends on whether I can arrange for Obito, a crazy person, and that’s it.”
Looking up at the moon that had not yet passed its zenith, Kaguya Rei jumped up and quickly rushed towards the Kaguya clan's territory.
If I go back and get some sleep now, I might be able to get up in time to eat the breakfast I made with Sister Mei~
It’s customary to ask for votes and recommendations, thank you all.
