Restarting Life: Call Me the Leader of Konoha

The land of water, hidden in the mist.

"If there's anything you need to tell someone, I'll do my best to convey it for you, Juuzou."

"Oh, there won't be such a person."

How could such a person exist if he had already betrayed the village and his people?

Looking up at the young man who had no expression on his face but bloodstains under his eyes, Juzang paused and let out a sad laugh.

"I see. You still have someone like that, Itachi. That's really unfortunate..."

Corpses could be seen everywhere in the forest, all wearing masks of similar shapes, obviously having experienced a brutal battle.

He glanced at the farthest corpse, on which a layer of blood film was gradually fading.

The vitality of the tailed beasts is indeed strong, and it is easy to imagine how difficult it is to capture a powerful Jinchūriki alive.

Once you delay until the pursuers arrive...

"Go away, I just died in my hometown, there's nothing strange about it, but this is not the place for you to stay."

Juuzou sighed absentmindedly, his eyes focusing back on the hilt of the sword in front of him.

The beheading sword is one of the seven ninja swords handed down from the Hidden Mist.

The hand that stretched out unconsciously fell in mid-air before it could reach the hilt of the knife.

"I thought this guy was my only partner..."

......

“That fire can only be extinguished if it burns the target. Fortunately, it fell on the tailed beast’s coat, otherwise it would be difficult for you, kid.

"But as for the burns on your body, even I can't do anything about it."

After an unknown amount of time, the only living corpse in the forest slowly stood up.

"Thank you, Isobu."

The one who invaded Kirigakure, the Mangekyō Sharingan, the Uchiha clan that defected from Konoha, it must be Uchiha Itachi...

A dead body was lying quietly in the distance.

——Biwa Juzo and the beheading sword.

Glancing up at the top of the forest, Yagura said calmly, "Come out."

His perception remained clear at all times, and he knew exactly when the person arrived.

A figure fell silently.

"The Fourth Generation."

"Zabuza?"

A hint of surprise flashed across Yagura's eyes.

I originally thought that the person hiding in the dark should be a member of the village's Anbu. After all, since they had been chasing us all the way, it was normal for Anbu to leave marks and guidance.

But Momochi Zabuza...

Not only did he not forget the introduction of abolishing the 'blood mist', he was actually paying close attention to it.

And he is also one of his most loyal supporters over the years.

"It's been a while since I was specially selected to become a special jonin."

Yagura looked thoughtful, his eyes cast towards the shadow of the tree behind him.

Under the shadow of the tree was a lifeless man and a sword.

“Go pick up that broken sword and don’t cut it anymore.

"I, the Fourth Mizukage, have given you the order. From now on, you will be the second batch of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen, and the second owner of the Beheading Sword."

Broken Sword - a beheading sword, is one of the seven ninja swords handed down from the Kirigakure. It not only symbolizes the identity of the holder as a Kirigakure jonin, but also means that he is the best among the 'Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Kirigakure'.

"Kunai doesn't suit you, this broken sword is just right for you."

The Blood Mist Village is a thing of the past, and you are the end of that era...

With the sound of dull footsteps, the person under the shadow of the tree came into view.

The first user of the beheading sword was Biwa Juzo.

He recognized this face.

Zabuza reached out and took the hilt.

"Are you still holding the broken sword even when you are dying?"

The broken sword, which was covered in blood, regained its ferocious appearance within just a few breaths of being raised.

A sweet and greasy smell swept over.

Momochi Zabuza...

Seeing the broken sword being picked up again, Yagura nodded silently, turned around and walked into the woods.
