Mitomonitis of Konoha

"This is Raikiri?! Then you are you Sakumo?!" Mito Kadoen asked with some surprise and amazement.

This samurai sword "Raikiri" was given to Mito Kabuto as a reward by the Fire Country Daimyo for his meritorious service in protecting the Daimyo by killing the assassin Kakuzu when he was in the capital of Fire Country.

When Mito Kadoen first served as the instructor of the Jonin in the twelfth year of Konoha, he promised that if Hatake Sakumo became a Jonin before the age of fifteen, he would use the katana he seized from the chief as a weapon. Give him a congratulatory gift.

Later, Mito Kaden discovered Toyotomi Kunimatsu and Uzumaki Kana in the Land of Grass, and brought them back to Konoha.

Since Toyotomi Kunimatsu joined Konoha, Mitomon could no longer give away the weapons of his subordinates as gifts, so he returned the samurai swords seized from Zifou to Toyotomi Kunimatsu, and He couldn't go back on the promise he made to his students, so he turned the gift into this "Raikiri".

In terms of quality, the "Raikiri" is even better than the original Zifang sword, and in terms of shape, it is relatively shorter than the tachi and has a lower curvature of the blade. It is also more suitable for Hatake swordsmanship. Show, so Hatake Sakumo naturally has no reason to be unhappy.

As for "Raikiri" as a gift from the teacher, there is absolutely no reason for Hatake Sakumo to give it away easily. Unless he dies or is handed over to his student's descendants as an inheritance, its ownership cannot be transferred at all. .

In other words, at this point in time, whoever holds this "Raikiri" can be said to be proven that this person is Hatake Sakumo!

Coupled with the fact that Mito Katoen had heard that he had joined the ANBU a few years ago, and the white hair that could not be covered by the mask, it was already obvious who his identity was.

The team leader slowly took off his mask and smiled slightly, "Long time no see, Teacher Men Yan!"

Looking at the familiar but much mature face in front of him, Mito Kadobu, who was already nearly forty years old, couldn't help but feel very pleased and said, "It's been a long time indeed, Sakumo. I didn't expect that he was only famous for his talent in swordsmanship." You, a young boy, have become the ANBU squad leader in the blink of an eye."

Although he has returned to Konoha several times during his ten years of travel, it is indeed a coincidence. Except for the time nine years ago when he gave "Raikiri" to Hatake Sakumo, every time he came back to Hatake Sakumo He just happened to be away from the village on a mission, so the two hadn't seen each other for ten years.

Nine years, not to mention a young man like Hatake Sakumo who is only in his twenties now, is also a long time for a middle-aged uncle like Mito Kaden.

Hatake Sakumo nine years ago, shortly after he became a jounin and took over the "Raikiri" from Mito Kadenen, he passed the examination and joined the ANBU.

Although it is said that as long as you become a Jonin, you can hold the position of ANBU squad leader, but to truly become a squad leader, you cannot rely solely on your skills. In addition, you also need to have a large number of ANBU mission achievements and very good lurking and assassination skills. Ability, so it is very common for Jonin to be just an ordinary member of ANBU.

After all, the early years were still times of peace. Although there were many undercurrents surging between countries, the frequency was far less than that of war or the early stages of the war, so the attendance rate of Anbu was naturally not that high.

That is to say, the war was about to break out in the past two years, which intensified the tasks of ANBU members. Hatake Sakumo was promoted to squad leader last year, so Mito Kadoen didn't know about this news yet.

Hatake Sakumo smiled and said, "Teacher is so skilled, how can I, a student, dare to lag behind others?"

Hearing this, Mito Kadoyan laughed "Haha" and said, "Okay! You are indeed my student!"

After he finished speaking, he stopped smiling and said seriously, "Well, it's during the mission now. Let's talk about the gossip later on the road. Now let's talk about the mission first."

As a member of the ANBU, Hatake Sakumo's discipline was naturally not comparable to that of a person like Mito Kaden who was used to being idle. Hearing this, he immediately put on his mask and returned to the team.

Mito Kadoyan first asked the ANBU ninjas, "Do you know anything about the content of this mission before this?"

Seeing everyone shaking their heads, he said, "Since you don't know me, let me tell you briefly. The purpose of this mission is to protect the remnants of our ally, the Country of Uzumaki, from retreating to the Country of Fire. The ninjas of Uzushio Hidden Village and their The families retreat to Konoha!"

At this time, one of the five team captains who came up earlier, the ANBU codenamed "Flying Fire" asked, "It shouldn't take so much force to support the retreat of the remaining members of the Country of Whirlpool, right? Could it be that we, Konoha, are here to support us?" Under such circumstances, would Kirigakure still dare to take action?"

Konoha has been firmly seated as the leader of the five major ninja villages in recent years, so the national pride of the ninjas in the village is also very strong. In their eyes, as long as Konoha comes forward, no force dares to disobey even the slightest. The other four ninja villages that are also among the five major ninja villages are no exception.

It has to be said that this situation has advantages and disadvantages. The advantage is that it can enhance the cohesion of the ninjas in the village, but the disadvantage is that it is easy to cultivate the ninjas in the village to be indifferent to the villagers. This is a taboo in the Naruto world.

After all, the ability of ninjas in the Naruto world is high attack and low imitation. If you are careless, a jounin is a shadow level, and he may fall into the hands of a genin. Poor Pain's hell path has captured so many jonin in Konoha. But capsizing in the small sewer of Konohamaru is the most obvious example.

Therefore, if you look down on the ninjas of other ninja villages, you may be taken advantage of by the enemy due to your carelessness and die.

Hearing this, Mito Kadenyan said, "The Kirigakure Village spent such a high price not only for the pitiful land of the Country of Uzumaki. After all, although the Country of Water is not a vast territory among the five major countries, it still cannot be seen." The land in the Kingdom of Shangwhirlpool, or rather the land that can only be acquired at such a high price, is the sealing technique inherited from the Uzumaki clan!"

Mito Kadoyan paused after saying this and then said, "It would be fine if we had eliminated their thoughts from the beginning. Now that the price has been spent, that would be fine if we succeeded in capturing the Uzumaki clan's sealing technique. If there is no result, that would be it." The Third Mizukage had to be kicked out by the villagers! Therefore, the Third Mizukage was determined to inherit the Uzumaki clan's ninjutsu, especially the sealing technique, so he commanded the Kirigakure ninjas to take risks and attack the Fire Nation fleet. great!"

"Flying Fire" then nodded to express his understanding, while Mito Kadoyan continued, "Now we will rush to Hyogo Port in the southeast of the Fire Country, and then take the prepared ships of the Fire Country from there. , heading to the Kingdom of Whirlpool, did you hear that?!”

"I heard it!" All the Anbu replied in unison.

Mito Kadoyan nodded with satisfaction upon seeing this, and then said, "Then, let's go!"
