Sixteen Years Old, The Fourth Generation of Mizukage

Use the power of the curse seal to exchange for their secret techniques and ninjutsu collections from Kirigakure's ninja family, and select some ninjutsu that are highly versatile and suitable for popularization and put them into the textbooks and daily teaching of ninja schools to improve Kirigakure's skills. The average strength of the next generation of ninjas has always been one of Kaguya Rei's goals that he wants to achieve as soon as possible.

But what is regrettable is that although all major Kirigakure families have expressed their submission to him, the fourth generation Mizukage, their attitudes are always conservative and rigid when it comes to matters involving family inheritance.

It has been almost two years since Kaguya Rei took office, but no ninja willing to come to him for PY transactions has ever appeared. After thinking about it, Kaguya Rei finally decided to find a more heavyweight opponent to challenge the village. The major families here should demonstrate the power of the Heavenly Curse Seal, and since the Six-Tails has been defeated, the newly resurrected Three-Tails has become the most suitable target for the exercise.

Facts have proven that the Heavenly Curse Seal technology, which allows one to gain power comparable to that of the Five Shadows, is quite tempting to most ninja families.

In the next few weeks, Terumi, Onito, Minazuki and many other heads and elders of ninja families native to Kirigakure Village came to Kaguya Rei to negotiate terms of exchange. Although the two sides were psychologically distant from each other, There is still a big gap in price, but as long as someone is willing to take the initiative to start negotiations, it will be much better than before.

The cultivation of Byakugan is progressing step by step in an orderly manner, and the changes that he has always wanted to guide Kirigakure's ninja family to make are also showing good signs. The two pleasant things superimposed on each other should have made people laugh. It’s better to feel peaceful and relaxed in the future...

But while Kaguya Rei was waiting for Orochimaru's research to make a breakthrough, and paying attention from time to time to Gotachibana Yagura, who had just become the Three-Tailed Jinchuuriki, to practice various Jinchuuriki-related abilities, Ao, who was in charge of the intelligence department, But on an ordinary sunny afternoon, Kaguya Rei was brought an unpleasant piece of information.

"The Fourth Generation, our intelligence officers found the bodies of Jounin Momotani Ai and everyone in her team in a desert in the Kingdom of Wind. This is the third case of a senior officer on a mission outside during this period. The Ninja team was killed."

Ao placed a scroll carefully written by an intelligence officer on Kaguya Rei's desk, and said seriously to Kaguya Rei, who also frowned:

"The first incident occurred on the border between the Kingdom of Wind and the Kingdom of Fire. Umeno Daiga, who had just escorted a caravan from the Kingdom of Water to the Kingdom of Wind, was attacked by an unidentified wandering ninja on his way back to the Kingdom of Wind. physical death;

The second incident occurred on the border between the Country of Numa and the Country of Oni. The deceased was Minazuki Aoba Jounin who was escorting the volcanic ore purchased by the village from the Country of Numa. The intelligence officers only found the volcanic ore he was escorting at the scene. The cargo and large blood stains were found, but no bodies of their team members were found..."

"These are all things that happened near the Kingdom of Wind..." Kaguya Rei quickly browsed the information scroll presented by Qing, and tapped the table of his desk with his fingers slightly doubtfully, "There is evidence that Are these things related to Sunagakure?"

"On Minaduki Aoba's side, intelligence officers found poisonous hidden weapons and the remains of some puppets at the scene. Umeno Daiga's heart was dug out, while Momotani Ai's was injured because of physical trauma. He died of massive blood loss caused by too much, and more traces of the battle were mostly erased by nature because the time interval between discovery was too long, so no more information can be seen."

Listening to Ao's report, Kaguya Rei narrowed her eyes and began to quickly analyze the possibilities behind this series of events targeting Kirigakure.

The probability that Sunagakure is the leader behind this series of events is not high, because the relationship between Sunagakure and Kirigakure can be said to be the best even among the five great ninja villages——

After all, among the five great ninja villages, Kirigakure is the only one that has not had any war or conflict with Sunagakure.

Limited by the long physical distance, there is almost no interaction between the two parties. If it weren't for Kaguya Rei in recent years, through the channels of the Oni Country Miko, high-quality seafood from the Country of Water and the Country of Waves in the form of high-end catering If this method is extended to the neighboring countries of the Kingdom of Demons, including the Kingdom of Wind, and opens some communication channels for the two countries, there will be no conflict of interest between Kirigakure and Sunagakure at all.

There is no conflict of interest, and there is no hatred between the two parties. There is no reason for Sunagakure to take the initiative to attack Kirigakure ninjas.

Unless that Kirigakure ninja accidentally discovered some information involving Sunagakure's secrets.

But whether it was Momotani Ai or Umeno Taiga, the area where they performed their missions was far away from the location of Sunagakure Village, and there was no possibility that they would spy on Sunagakure's secrets.

And if you exclude Sunagakure, who is the closest and has the ability to do this...

In the original world line, those S-class rebel ninjas who belonged to "Akatsuki"?

"Qing, have you ever investigated the black market?"

"Ah? Yondaime, what does this mean?"

Kaguya Rei raised her head and said thoughtfully to Qing, who was a little unable to keep up with her thoughts:

"Are there any bounties for Umeno Taiga and Momotani Ai on the black market? I've heard people say before that there is an S-class rebel ninja from Taki Ninja Village on the black market, and he often hunts those who have money in the black market. Ninjas with high bounties on their heads... If the bounties on the two of them are high enough, they might attract that guy to take action."

"I will ask the members of the intelligence team to investigate as soon as possible."

Qing immediately figured out what Kaguya Rei meant, nodded sharply, and then continued to ask:

"Then, what do you think, Yondaime, of Minazuki Aoba's attack?"

"Aoba is the holder of the Ice Release Blood Succession Limit. If his body is missing, it can basically be regarded as someone attacking him in order to obtain the Ice Release Blood Succession Limit... As for the direction of the investigation in this area, I am more They tend to be the original group of rebellious ninjas who appeared in the Land of Rain."

Kaguya Rei put her ten fingers together and said solemnly:

"On the battlefield at that time, the auras of more than a dozen rebellious ninjas suddenly disappeared, and they did not appear again in other places. However, those people should know that I have mastered another thing besides the corpse veins. Men Bing Dun’s Blood Succession Limit, judging from their hatred towards me, they will definitely want to break the power of Ice Dun, in order to find a way to defeat me..."

"A rebellious nin at the root? In that case, Yondaime, have you ruled out the suspicion of Sunagakure?" Ao asked seriously.

"Because logically speaking, Sunagakure, who has no conflict of interest and no old or new hatred with Kirigakure, has no reason to attack Kirigakure's Jonin again and again, but the place where Aoba disappeared appears. The traces of Sunagakure's iconic puppet technique cannot be ruled out, and it cannot be ruled out that the Fourth Kazekage suddenly lost his mind and wanted to take away the blood inheritance limit of Ice Release to strengthen the combat power of Sunagakure..."

Kaguya thought for a while, opened her eyes and said in a deep voice:

"No matter what the specific situation is, the difficulty of this matter will not be too low. I will let the members of the Seven New Ninja Swordsmen take over. Before they arrive, let the intelligence personnel stand still. I only need to Just protect the clues you have."

Hearing that the members of the Seven New Ninja Swordsmen would take over this incident, Ao's expression became much more relaxed. Then, he asked curiously: "I don't know which one of them you plan to let." To be responsible for this incident?"

"Uchiha Shisui."

Kaguya Rei casually clicked on the information scroll at hand and said calmly:

"That kid has been staying in the laboratory for a long time recently. It would be good to let him go out for a walk and relax... What's more, the batch of volcanic ore I asked Aoba to purchase from the Land of Swamp was just for him. Forging a suitable new ninja sword and letting him avenge Aoba is the right thing to do."

"That... Yondaime?"

Qing raised his left hand and asked in confusion:

"I just seemed to be hallucinating, and I didn't quite hear what you said... Who is the member of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen you are going to send? Can you say it again?"

"Uchiha Shisui," Kaguya Rei leaned back on his chair and said meaningfully: "I gave him so long time to buffer his emotions, and it's almost time to give him a worthy one. It’s because of his own talent and Heavenly Curse Seal…”

Heartsteel, you drive me crazy...

But perfect attendance is more important
