In Naruto, build the strongest Hidden Mist Village.

Chapter 42 Objective: To force Sunagakure to surrender within three days.
"Understood, Naoki-sama."

Pipa Juzo placed the Executioner's Blade at his side, a faint killing intent emanating from his eyes.

"No one will be able to interfere with the camp until you defeat Sunagakure and return to the main camp."

He paused, then spoke meaningfully.

"Including the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist."

Listen, Suigetsu Hozuki's eyes flashed, and he also placed Samehada in front of him, grinned, and sneered.

"Of course."

"Then, I'll leave it to you two."

After saying this, Kaguya Naoki turned around, but couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

Even the most basic requirement of avoiding internal strife had to be addressed by resorting to violence.

The Kirigakure village, this forcibly assembled battle group, is truly pathetic.

No wonder that in the original timeline, even the Hidden Mist, as the ambush party, only suffered defeats.

Naoki Kaguya touched his spine.

So, what needs to be done is very simple: scatter the Sand Village as soon as possible and then come back to suppress these guys.

"Zabuza, Kisame, let's go."

The two nodded in silence.

Zabuza Momochi couldn't help but glance at Kisame, a flicker of excitement in his eyes.

The opportunity for me to make my appearance has finally arrived.

We need to kill as many of those Sunagakure trash as possible as soon as possible.

Besides, I can't be worse than this shark head, can I?

She turned her gaze to Kaguya Naoki.

Hurry up, Naoki-sama, I can't wait to kill those useless trash.

Seemingly noticing Zabuza's gaze, Kaguya Naoki immediately spoke up.

"Come on, since we're going to speed things up, let's not be stingy with our chakra."

After saying that, he quickly formed hand seals, and ice mirrors appeared before their eyes, reflected in their pupils.

Is this the Ice Release technique that allows one to fly through the sky?
A slight ripple appeared in Kisame Hoshigaki's shark-like pupils as he placed his hand on Naoki Kaguya's shoulder as instructed.

Soon, a faint chakra appeared on its surface.

Ice Release chakra?

Kisame seemed to be deep in thought.

How did Naoki-sama manage to do that? Is he really a half-blood of the Kaguya and Minazuki clans?

As they were thinking this, Naoki Kaguya's voice rang in their ears.

"Hold on tight."

As soon as he finished speaking, ice mirrors formed in front of the three of them, extending and piercing into the sky and clouds.

"coming soon."

Naoki Kaguya chuckled lightly, and the three of them immediately moved through the ice mirror.

So fast, so high.

Zabuza Momochi gripped his sword firmly with one hand and grabbed Naoki Kaguya's shoulder with the other, his entire body unable to look down at the ground.

As expected, only Lord Naoki is Kirigakure's hope.

The moves that Minazuki and his gang couldn't come up with in a thousand years were still easily created by Naoki-sama.

"I saw it."

Naoki Kaguya murmured to himself. Zabuza, before he could react, saw countless fine blue needles appear out of thin air and pour down from the sky.

Looking through the ice needles, all I could see were swaying tree canopies and a few figures falling to the ground with a thud.

Zabuza Momochi felt a chill run down his spine and couldn't help but look at the white eyes that were flashing in Kaguya Naoki's pupils.

Even I, the lord, would probably find it difficult to withstand this attack.

Those who are looked down upon have nowhere to hide.

The ice needles coming from the sky are difficult to react to in time.

Moreover, judging from the shattered tree canopy, even from a great distance, these ice needles must have considerable power.

"here we go again."

After Kaguya Naoki finished speaking, several more corpses appeared.

Zabuza Momochi felt a sense of foreboding.

No, it's not my turn to make an appearance.

Ugh.

He'd ended up with two burdens for nothing. Kaguya Naoki casually shot down another squad of Sand Village ninja, and couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

Originally, he planned to use the powerful mobility of Ice Release to find the Sand Village ninja, land and attack, and kill them through close combat.

However, he greatly underestimated the ninjas' disregard for the sky.

Faced with the sudden, incredibly powerful, and cunningly angled ice senbon that descended from the sky, many people didn't even realize it was coming before they lost their lives.

Within just a few hours, the Sand Village ninja had already left behind a considerable number of corpses.

While it can't compare to Minato Namikaze's feat of instantly killing fifty ninjas, its speed in clearing out mobs is probably second to none in the entire ninja world.

It seems so.

Plans change.

The originally scheduled time is no longer suitable.

Then let's defeat Sunagakure within three days until they have no soldiers left to use.

. . . . . . . . .

"Something terrible has happened, Lady Yecang."

"Another squad has mysteriously disappeared into the jungle."

Yecang's expression wasn't very good, and he slammed his fist on the table.

"The twelfth branch."

"Damn the Hidden Mist."

"It must be that Kaguya Naoki, otherwise it wouldn't be possible to get here so quickly."

Raising his eyes, Ye Cang addressed the somewhat flustered Sand Village ninja.

"Inform everyone to consolidate your forces and stop hunting down Mist Village."

"Yes, Lady Yekura."

The Sand Village ninja had just nodded when Pakura's expression suddenly changed. He quickly formed hand seals, and several fireballs instantly enveloped his head.

呲呲呲!
The ice needles collided with the fireball and were completely vaporized.

Bang bang bang!
Ye Cang turned his head and saw blue ice needles raining down from the sky, cutting the lush trees into pieces while also shooting into the bodies of the Sand Villagers without any suspense.

Without a sound, all that could be seen was that before the Sand Villagers could even issue a warning, their bodies riddled with bloody holes were helplessly thrown to the ground.

Yekura gritted her teeth, raised her head, held up the fireball, and looked at Kaguya Naoki, who was constantly flying in the sky.

Come down here if you dare, you bastard.

wrong.

He was also a member of the Kaguya clan.

Yekura clenched her fists, her heart filled with bitterness.

It's irresistible, isn't it?

In the air, I couldn't even touch him.

On the ground, the methods used against Kaguya Ryota would likely be ineffective against him, and if they got close, they would only face certain death.

Ye Cang let out a deep breath, but it still couldn't ease the tension in her heart.

According to her thinking, she simply couldn't imagine how to defeat him, Kaguya Naoki.

So, are we all targets to be slaughtered?
Ye Cang couldn't help but feel a chill.

She was unwilling to start a war on her own because of Konoha's oppression, and soon an idea came to her.

For the sake of Sunagakure's future, let's reconcile as soon as possible.

Go back to the village immediately.

He persuaded the fourth generation leader to reconcile.

This way, we can save more of our comrades!

"Lord Naoki, should I go and kill her?"

Zabuza Momochi held up his sword, looking somewhat eager to try.

Naoki Kaguya looked at the figure, about to agree, but quickly swallowed the words.

He recalled a scene that had occurred in the ninja world.

Sunagakure's Yotsugu was used by the Fourth Kazekage as a bargaining chip for reconciliation with Kirigakure, who lured him into a trap and killed him with kunai by Kirigakure ninja.

Naoki Kaguya curled the corners of his lips into a smile.

Since it's a free gift of the Scorching Escape Technique, how could I refuse it?

As for avenging Ryota...

To make her confront the darkness of the village, to feel her heart breaking, perhaps that counts?

However, isn't it a bit inappropriate to recruit people from Kirigakure so openly and honestly?
