The Otsutsuki Road from Kirigakure

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye it is already the end of the 35th year of Kirigakure.

In the past one month or less than two months, Qingsi has been on vacation. If this happened in modern times, the Third Mizukage Bing would definitely be elected as the best leader of the year.

During this period, apart from occasionally gathering with Chino Kizuna and Yagura Karuta when they had no missions, and regularly visiting his three subordinates who were recuperating in the Kirigakure Hospital, Kiyoshi basically stayed at home to practice, focusing on continuously improving his control over the Pure Eye and increasing the speed and effectiveness of his pupil techniques.

The last day of the 35th year of Kirigakure.

On this day, Qingsi was practicing in his room as usual after having breakfast with his grandfather Yuanshi.

"Young name Vigana!"

Qingsi was constantly using the pupil technique of his left eye to repeatedly enlarge and shrink the black stick in his hand. The speed was much faster than when he had just awakened the Pure Eye, so there was no problem using it in actual combat.

At this time, the loud cry of the ninja eagle was heard outside.

"War preparation call?" Qing Si's heart moved. It seemed that there should be the latest results on the Yuyin battlefield.

Some time ago, information from the underground gold exchange showed that the second large-scale decisive battle between the Hidden Rain Village and the Hidden Sand Village ended in a draw.

"Let's go! Little Qingsi!" Qingsi dressed neatly and walked out of the room. He saw his grandfather Yuanshi and the bodyguard Quan Bingwei were already ready to go.

-----------------

The Hidden Mist Village, the Mizukage Building, the meeting room.

When they arrived at the door of the conference room, Qingsi and Yuanshi separated. Yuanshi entered the conference room while Qingsi went to the Mizukage's office to meet the Third Mizukage Bing. As the captain of the Third Mizukage's shadow guard, he should have followed Bing at this time.

Pushing open the door of the Mizukage's office, Qingsi saw the other six people standing behind the Third Mizukage Bing, each carrying their own ninja swords on their backs.

"Let's go, it's time to tell others that we, Kirigakure, are ready to take action!" Bing saw Qingsi coming, nodded at him, then stood up from his seat, told the seven of them the purpose of this call, and then led them to the meeting room.

Bing walked into the conference room, followed by the Seven Ninja Swordsmen with solemn looks on their faces. Seeing the arrival of the Mizukage, the noisy discussions in the conference room suddenly became quiet. All the people present stared at the Third Mizukage Bing with burning eyes, hoping to hear news that would shock them.

Qingsi glanced at the people present and saw his enemy Kaguya Musashi at a glance. He suppressed his eagerness for revenge. Qingsi knew that he should focus on the village's mission first. His strength had surpassed Kaguya Musashi, and he could kill him at any time as long as there was a chance in the future.

Kaguya Musashi, who was sitting below, felt a chill on her neck for no reason, but when she looked around, she didn't find anything wrong.

"The leader of the Rain Village, Hanzo, has made a request to us, the Kirigakure, offering a reward of 250 million taels, hoping that we, the Kirigakure, will send elite troops to participate in the war in the form of hired ninjas to help the Rain Village deal with the Sand Village and guard against the Iwagakure Village. Intelligence shows that the Iwagakure Village has completed the war mobilization and is ready to intervene in the war at any time!" Bing's words echoed throughout the conference room.

"Iwagakure Village is our old enemy. The previous Mizukage died because of Iwagakure Village in the last Ninja World War. Moreover, the funding that the Daimyo has given us Kirigakure Village has not been very generous in recent years, making it increasingly difficult for us to train new talents. The 250 million taels of reward is very important to the development of the village, so I agreed to it!" Bing's expression and tone became solemn.

It turns out that after the first decisive battle with Sand Village, the Hidden Rain Village, led by Hanzo, fought two more large-scale decisive battles. After the first battle, Chiyo finally cracked the poison of Hanzo's salamander and developed the formula of the antidote, which gave the Sand Village a lot of confidence. After all, Hanzo's most lethal weapon on the battlefield was his poison.

Moreover, during the Second World War, all the Sand Ninjas resisted the poisonous gas of the salamander and did not retreat, which allowed Chiyo to finally analyze the weakness that it takes five minutes for the salamander to refill its body with poisonous gas. This allowed the Sand Ninjas to arrange various targeted tactics based on this.

Chiyo is worthy of the title of Hanzo's nemesis. This arrangement gave Hanzo a headache.

So in the third war, Chiyo paid the price of an arm and successfully held Hanzo within five minutes while the salamander was filling the poison gas. The Sand Village ninjas took advantage of the situation and launched a large-scale counterattack under the leadership of Ebizo. After a fierce battle, it was the Sand Village that was outnumbered that gained the upper hand, and the Rain Village was beaten back. Hanzo's original plan to quickly defeat the Sand Village and then fight a decisive battle with Konoha can be said to have completely failed.

Hanzo had no choice but to launch war mercenaries at the same time to the Cloud Village in the Land of Lightning and the Mist Village in the Land of Water, which did not border the Land of Rain and had no conflicts of interest with it.
