Sixteen Years Old, The Fourth Generation of Mizukage

"The kingdom of ghosts? Witches? Monsters? The undead army? What are these things..."

Looking at the letter of request for help that the three people from the Akatsuki organization forwarded through their psychic White Snake, Kaguya Rei, who was checking the experimental data of the Heavenly Curse Seal in his laboratory, raised his eyebrows in confusion and thought in his mind. After thinking about it for a long time, I found some memories from the depths of my memory that might be related to this incident——

"Oh my god, why are there Terracotta Warriors and An Lushan in the movie version of Naruto?"

"Ah? What is it? Is the theater version so nonsense?"

"Well, it seems like it's just a suture monster with a name. It's essentially a story about ninjas... An Lushan is a theatrical version of Loulan Kingdom, which has nothing to do with the name, and then this Terracotta Warriors The theatrical version is even more ridiculous. Not only did Hinata get dressed in a white-haired miko costume and become the heroine, but she also made a monster sprite that only a miko can seal to scare people, saying it can destroy the world..."

"Don't worry too much about the plot of the theatrical version. If you look at the theater version of One Piece next door, doesn't it always bring out a bunch of ridiculously strong people and forcefully serve as a stepping stone for Wang Luffy after doing sit-ups?"

In the distant memory of a life gone by, I seem to have had a few conversations about this topic with my close friends. However, so much time has passed, and the things I didn’t know much about have already become the remnants of my memory and cannot be picked up. Unless someone suddenly mentioned it, how could I have remembered such a trivial matter?

"However, since in my memory I associate this unknown monster with the term "terracotta warriors and horses", does that mean that the monster should have the ability to move a large number of terracotta warriors and horses?"

"I wonder if we can capture that monster and use it as a backup hidden energy source for the undead legions. If we can do this, some infrastructure construction in the Kingdom of Water can be put on the agenda earlier..."

Thinking of this, Kaguya Rei has decided to send someone to take his clone to see what happened in the Kingdom of Ghosts. Considering that the strength of the monster itself is not strong enough to need to take action himself, he quickly A suitable candidate was found to carry out this mission.

ten minutes later.

Mikigaki Kisame and Uchiha Shisui stood in front of the door of Mizukage's office, looking at each other.

"Um, Mr. Kisame Kisame...right?" Uchiha Shisui looked up at Kisame Kisame, who was more than a head taller than him, and asked with some embarrassment: "Are you also here to see the Fourth Mizukage?"

"Indeed...but if you say so, you haven't been with the Yondaime all the time today, Uchiha Shisui?"

Mikigaki Kisame narrowed his eyes and looked up and down at Uchiha Shisui, who was always taken by Kaguya Rei, making many people in the village jealous. He wanted to see something in him that could make Kaguya Rei jealous. The reason why he valued him so much, and facing Kisame Kisame's scrutinizing gaze, Uchiha Shisui did not have any thoughts of fear, but looked at Kisame without hesitation.

After the silent atmosphere lasted for a while, Kisame took the initiative to take a step back and spoke to break the silence:

"Let's report to the Yondaime first. Since we were summoned almost at the same time, maybe the Yondaime will entrust us with tasks to complete in the future. If we want to understand and examine each other, let's talk about it then, Uchiha Zhihao water."

"I don't think the Fourth Mizukage's heart is big enough to let me leave Kirigakure..." Uchiha Shisui sighed and replied unoptimistically.

"Well, it's better not to speculate too much on the Yondaime with your own thoughts. Uchiha Shisui, that person's caliber is beyond the imagination of ordinary ninjas."

Mikigaki Kisame shook his head, raised his hand and knocked on the door of Mizukage's office, and walked into the room silently with Uchiha Shisui. Kaguya Rei also turned around from his chair the moment the two of them entered the room, looked at Uchiha Shisui with a half-smile and said:

"If I really gave you the opportunity to leave Kirigakure and go on a mission, would you find an opportunity to escape during the mission, Shisui?"

"……Won't."

Uchiha Shisui showed a somewhat surprised expression at first, but soon shook his head and gave a negative answer:

"I will not do something that only seems to have some chance of success on the surface. Furthermore, I don't think that if I return to Konoha now, I can reverse the future situation between Konoha and Kirigakure... Before making the decision to return to Konoha at all costs, I hope that I can at least understand what you want to do to Kirigakure, and even the entire ninja world."

"If you want to achieve this goal, I'm afraid you have to stay in Kirigakure for a few more years."

Kaguya smiled and threw a written mission scroll to Kisame Kisame. Then when Kisame opened the scroll and browsed the mission details, he chuckled to Uchiha Shisui and said:

"This mission is jointly carried out by the two of you. The location is the country of ghosts. It is an emergency mission to ask for help. Although the client does not regard us Kirigakure as the main target for help, considering the miko of the country of ghosts, We even sent a request for help to Iwagakure Village, which is further away. I don’t think she will refuse our offer of assistance.”

"The immortal ghost army, the madman who wants to conquer the world, and his goal is to protect the ghost country's miko...?"

Kisame Mikigaki handed the finished mission scroll to Uchiha Shisui beside him, and then asked Rei Kaguya:

"Yondaime, such a mission with insufficient information, unpredictable risks, and involving changes in the national situation is already qualified for an S-level mission. Can you really leave it to me to execute?"

"If you want to become one of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen, you must have the ability to handle such difficult situations alone."

Kaguya Rei raised his hand and grabbed another scroll on the table, unfolded it with a slight shake, and read out the "explosion", "double", "thunder", and "blunt" that were surrounded by seals. , "long", and the words "big" and "broken" that should have been there but were blank, faced Mikigaki Kisame and Uchiha Shisui, and said in a deep voice:

"There are only two of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen left now, and they are all controlled by the older generation of ninjas from the third generation era. Although the combat power of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen is nothing to me, for those who have heard their legends since childhood, For the people of Kirigakure who have grown up, they still hope to see a new generation of ninjas inherit these ninja swords."

"I see, is this mission one of my promotion tests, Yondaime?"

"Well, if you complete this mission with the Uchiha next to you, you will be qualified to consider which ninja sword you want to inherit... Of course, if you want to inherit them from the two masters, It's not impossible to use a ninja sword, but you will need to show more performance and achievements to silence others, Kisame."

"I will get it, Yondaime-sama."

Kisame nodded, and the light of ambition and drive flashed through his strangely shaped eyes. After reading the mission scroll, Uchiha Shisui raised his head somewhat unoptimistically, looked at Kaguya Rei and said :

"I remember that in the records of the Uchiha clan, the sealing technique mastered by the witches of the Demon Country is almost as powerful as the Uzumaki clan. It can force her to the point where she has to ask for help from the outside. That monster The strength may be stronger than we guessed..."

"You don't need to worry about this, Shisui."

As he spoke, a slender little white snake with red eyes slipped out of Kaguya Rei's sleeves, and stuck out his tongue at Uchiha Shisui and Mikigaki Kisame, while Kaguya Rei used her fingers to act as a support for it, while not letting go. He said quickly:

"I have almost completed the analysis and reconstruction of the Heavenly Curse Seal technology that Orochimaru paid as a deposit. Now it is time to use actual combat to test whether my design ideas are correct..."

It’s the second day of perfect attendance, come on
