From undercover in Konoha, to I am the Hokage!

Chapter 186 Bloodline Beast Plan (5k)

In the Iwagakure Village, Ōnoki sat at his desk, sighing as he looked at the reports submitted in front of him. His face was wrinkled like a small pumpkin, and his beard on both sides of his face was twitching. He looked like he was turning gray.

"Why is it different again?"

"Ah, Sawara Kiri"

This name seemed to have some kind of magic that could make anyone who was hostile to him terrified and worried about their future.

In fact, no one would be happy after seeing the information on his desk.

This document is the overall battle speculation feedback on the scorched battlefield.

According to the report from the Iwagakure intelligence department, the identity of the enemy that Sawara Kiri is facing is still unknown, but it can be inferred that his strength is far greater than that of Uchiha Madara who appeared in front of the Konoha gate before.

Even based on some battlefield traces, it can be inferred that Sawara Kiri was forced into an extremely dangerous situation.

However, this man, whose very existence seemed like a miracle, once again demonstrated abilities that far exceeded the limits of his previous strength.

After much investigation, it was found that it was a special fire-style ninjutsu with extremely powerful power - however, it had never appeared in the ninja world.

Even the ground at the edge of the battlefield more than 200 kilometers away suffered the aftermath of a high temperature of at least 10,000 degrees Celsius.

For a ninja, as long as he is within the range of this battlefield, his death can basically be declared.

They didn't know whether this was a newly developed ability of Sawara Kiri or a trump card he had hidden for a long time in preparation for a large-scale battlefield with the All-Ninja Alliance.

However, almost all members of the Iwagakure intelligence department were quite pessimistic about the outcome of the war with Konoha.

This is truly devastating news for an independent military group like the Iwagakure Village.

Even Ōnoki himself, after reading the speculation of the Iwagakure intelligence department, did not dare to guarantee that his Dust Release could withstand such a terrifying blow.

"Konoha, Konoha."

Ohnoki put down the report in his hand, gently patted his old waist which was beginning to feel sore again, and spoke with emotion.

It seemed that he had been fighting against the monsters of Konoha all his life.

Previously it was Uchiha Madara and Senju Hashirama, and now it is Sawara Kiri.
Moreover, every time we face a situation that seems to be extremely unfavorable.

If it weren't for the fact that the Iwagakure Village inherited the Will of Stone, which is famous for its tenacity, Ōnoki suspected that he would have collapsed by now.

Just as he was thinking this, he suddenly heard a burst of dense footsteps coming from outside the door.

Ohnoki raised his head warily and looked out the door.

Then, the person outside rushed into the Tsuchikage's office without even knocking on the door, and shouted:
"Sandaime-sama!"

Noticing that the chakra fluctuations in the visitor's body were still familiar, Ohnoki slowly lowered his raised hand. However, because he was in a bad mood, his loud voice suddenly rose a pitch and he scolded:
"What a panic! What a look!"

"Biyan, look at yourself, do you still look like a mature Iwagakure jonin now?"

However, at this moment, the Jonin Bi Yan didn't care at all about the bad temper of the Third Tsuchikage. The expression on his face was one of surprise and joy, almost a little crazy.

At this moment, he didn't even care about the etiquette and respect that was ingrained in his bones. He hurried forward, grabbed Ohnoki's hand and ran out:

"Third-generation sir, urgent news! Very urgent!"

"The spies in Konoha risked their lives to barely get the information out with the help of the last person."

Onoki, who was about to continue to lose his temper, frowned slightly when he heard that it was information from Konoha. However, he was still a little dissatisfied with his childish and anxious appearance. He flew out on his own, and lectured:
"What kind of information is so urgent? Can it be so sudden?"

"As the saying goes, when Mount Tai collapses in front of you, you remain calm; when a deer walks to your left, you don't blink. This is what it means to be a Yanyin."

Only then did the Biyan Jonin finally calm down and nodded:

"You are right!"

"Okay, let's talk about it."

"It's really incredible that I can make you so panicked." Ohnoki blew his beard and glared.

"Yes."

Bi Yan calmed himself down and lowered his voice: "We discovered the secret of how Sawara Kiri became stronger, and we also stole a piece of the secret treasure back."

"Dangdang!"

Oonoki, who was flying steadily in the sky just now, suddenly fell to the ground with his small body. His lumbar spine made a very clear "crack" sound, and his whole body trembled as if it had been electrocuted.

However, the old man didn't even care about his old waist at this moment, he suddenly got up and yelled:

"what?!"

"Sawara Kiri's."

"Whoosh!"

Without waiting for Bi Yan to repeat it again, the old man reacted immediately. He didn't even care about floating in the air. He suddenly stepped on his short legs and showed extraordinary physical skills. He shot out of the door and jumped down the stairs, heading straight for the intelligence base underground in Yanyin.

Biyan Jonin stayed at the door of the office for a moment, and then he couldn't help but sigh:
"You are worthy of being the Third Generation Master."

"You will get stronger when you get older!"

It's not just the Iwagakure side.

Less than a day after the secret was leaked, all the ninja villages that had spies in Konoha, at the cost of discarding all underground intelligence and spies who had been hiding for years, sent this information back to the village at the highest level of secrecy.

The secret of Sawara Kiri's power!

These few ordinary words suddenly caused the ninja world, which had been as calm as a mirror lake, to boil.

In just three days, each village mobilized almost all the manpower it could command and began large-scale investigation and inspection operations within its respective borders.

The frequency with which civilians from various countries have seen ninja-sama has increased rapidly recently, but ordinary people don't know what they are looking for.

Among them, the fastest-acting parties have even begun in-depth research on the secret treasures.

If we talk about the person with the strongest scientific research ability today, it has to be Yunyin.

"How is the research on the secret treasure fragments going now?"

The Fourth Raikage, Ai, was standing at the gate of the underground research department at this time, pacing anxiously, but was afraid to enter for fear of delaying the research progress.

As soon as one of them left the room, he immediately grabbed the other and started asking questions.

"Master Fourth, we now have preliminary results."

"However, I have not yet figured out the specific method of using the 'secret treasure'. I need to wait until more fragments are collected before I can figure it out."

The research team leader spoke in a serious tone.

Unlike Orochimaru's casual test at that time, the major ninja villages now mobilized almost all their men to work around the clock to study this tiny fragment after learning that the secret treasure was directly related to Sawara Kiri's powerful strength. They tested it in all directions and soon discovered the secret that it was directly related to the soul.

After the research team leader briefly explained its function to the Fourth Raikage, Ai felt his heartbeat quicken and his breathing became heavy.

"That's it, that's it!"

"No wonder Sawara Kiri turned into a monster!"

"With such a secret treasure, and having mastered it for such a long time, as long as you have the desire to increase your strength, you can gain power from it. It's just like the wish-making machine in mythology!"

At this moment, there was only a fire burning in the heart of the Fourth Raikage.

"Yes."

The research team leader nodded and said, "However, this substance is also extremely addictive, and it also has a strong attraction to different 'Secret Treasure Fragments' holders."

"After testing experiments by volunteers in the village, it was found that after being stripped of this fragment, only a few ninjas with extremely strong willpower could gradually adapt to the normal state - but even they would show very strong desire after being exposed to the fragment again."

"Therefore, how to use this secret treasure requires your careful consideration, Fourth Generation Master."

Ai listened quietly to the research team leader's story, and then looked through the test reports he handed over. He took a deep breath, but his eyes became more determined.

While he was listening, the young Raikage secretary Xi walked quickly from the door and reminded him in a low voice:

"Master Yondaime, Konoha has sent a command notice."

"We demanded that the Hidden Cloud Village hand over all the fragments of the Four Souls Jade found in our territory. We also secretly issued a reward for the found fragments across the border. The amount is very high."

"And they threatened war."

Xi lowered his voice a little, and even the research team leader who was not far away had difficulty hearing it clearly.

However, just when Xi was about to cover his ears as usual, he found that the Fourth Generation, who should have been furious, now had a calm face on his dark face.

"Oh, war?"

"It seems that the bastard Sahara Kiri is really getting anxious. He can't even take care of the overall situation of Konoha's reform."

Ai's voice was calm and solemn, but his eyes became sharper: "This can only mean that he is no longer as confident as before."

"Xi, what do you think he is afraid of?" Ai asked in a low voice as if talking to himself.

"."

Xi did not answer, but just listened quietly.

"Em!"

"exist!"

The research team leader responded immediately.

Ai's voice was very firm: "Now, perform the transplant surgery for the secret treasure fragments on me!"

“Fourth, fourth generation sir?!” The research team leader was stunned when he heard this.

He should have explained the side effects clearly, right?

"There is only one thing that Kumogakure needs right now, and that's what I need, too, which is a powerful force that can rival Sawara Kiri!"

Ai's voice was extremely confident: "Sawara Kiri was a commoner in Konoha, with no talent and no bloodline, and his performance in the entire ninja school was mediocre. After possessing this treasure, he was able to reach his current level." "Then how can I not be as good as him!?"

"Transplant it for me!" He suddenly raised his voice.

The research team leader immediately stood up straight:
"Yes!"

The Fourth Raikage was not the only one who made this judgment.

In fact, under the temptation of this last straw, almost all the ninja villages threatened by war in the entire ninja world are desperately trying to pile these treasures on themselves.

At the same time, more and more people have gained extremely powerful strength in this way, which has truly allowed everyone to see the hope of being able to confront Sawara Kiri head-on.

However, not everyone is so excited during this process.

The reserve Fourth Mizukage, Karatachi Yagura, is one of them.

"puff."

He slowly pulled out the blade, shook off the remaining blood on the blade, and looked forward with cold eyes.

The Third Mizukage fell to the ground, raised his head with difficulty, and looked straight at him with incredible eyes. Blood and foam kept pouring out of his mouth, and even his voice seemed to be leaking air:
"Ya, Yagura, you, you idiot!"

"Why, why?"

The increasingly obvious feeling of powerlessness made his vision increasingly dim, but the unwillingness in his heart still made him hold on to his breath.

No matter what, he couldn't understand why Karatachi Yagura, who could have just followed the plan and waited for him to die of old age and then ascended to the position directly, would take such a huge risk to kill him with his own hands?

Is this really the inevitable fate of every generation of Mizukage?
Or is it a conspiracy of Master Yuan and those bloodline families?

He couldn't understand.

"I'm sorry, Third Generation-sama."

Karuji Yagura's voice was calmer than ever before. He raised the blade in his hand, pressed it against the back of the neck of the Third Mizukage, and whispered:

"Your reforms have been so successful."

"If we continue like this, it will only cause unnecessary deaths. Kirigakure, it is enough to maintain the current level."

"?!"

The Third Mizukage was stunned when he heard this, his eyes full of disbelief. Even his vision, which had been gradually dimming, became a little brighter due to the sudden increase in blood pressure.

He seemed to have suddenly thought of something, and spat out blood as he hoarsely said, "You, you and Hui Ye Lian?!"

"puff."

The last knife fell gently, simultaneously severing the spinal nerves and the entire carotid artery.

The splattered blood spread all over the ground, dyeing a small area of ​​the beach and the sea red.

Karuji Yagura's gaze was still as cold as ever, but there was a hint of sadness in the depths of his eyes.

The Third Mizukage is a qualified Mizukage.

But, it can't let more people survive.
In today's ninja world, under the pressure of Sawara Kiri, is there any hope?

After he let the rising tide swallow the body of the Third Mizukage and slowly walked out of the beach, the Kirigakure Anbu who were supposed to guard the Third Mizukage appeared in front of him, half-kneeling.

It was obvious that he had replaced all the Kirigakure Anbu members with his own people long before he designed this assassination plan.

Everyone ignored the remaining blood on Karuju Yagura's blade and remained kneeling in respect.

"Master Yondaime, there is an urgent piece of information."

But soon, one of them handed over a bamboo tube.

When Karuji Yagura heard the title "Fourth Generation", he was stunned at first, but then he accepted it calmly. He took the message from the other party and took a quick look.

The next moment, his pupils suddenly contracted, and he turned his head sharply to look in the direction of the Third Generation Master - his body had been swallowed up by the sea and no one knew where it had been carried away.

"Damn it! Why did that bastard force me to take the top position at this time?"

Karuju Yagura cursed in his heart, but he still managed to remain calm on the surface, and said to the Kirigakure ANBU casually: "I understand, you guys go down first."

"Yes!"

After they all disappeared, Karuta Yagura immediately took out a kunai wrapped with sealing patterns from his arms - it was an emergency communication device between him and Sawara Kiri, and sealed inside it was a shadow clone with one thousandth of Sawara Kiri's chakra.

"boom!"

Before the smoke in front of him had time to dissipate, Karuju Yagura had already rushed in with red eyes, grabbed Sawara Kiri by the collar, and cursed in a low voice:
"You bastard! You've already thrown away your trump card, and you still want me to kill the Third Mizukage now?"

"Do you really think there's something soft in the blood mist?"

"Do you believe me now that I will also collect the fragments of the Four Souls Jade and kill your original body?!"

The shadow clone wrapped in smoke waved his hands. Facing Karuizawa Yagura's furious expression, he seemed to have anticipated it. Even when he was grabbed by the collar, he had almost no reaction and just looked at him indifferently.

Only after he had vented his emotions did he say coldly:
"Yakura."

"Others don't know who I am, don't you know either?"

Goju Yagura was stunned when he heard this.

Who else could you be?
Isn't it the number one undercover agent of Kirigakure, Kaguya?
Karuju Yagura's thoughts suddenly stopped, and then he looked at him suspiciously:
"Another hoax?"

It seems that because he had been hit so many times, he had a very deep trauma from "Mirror Flower and Water Moon", and this sentence was the first thought of Karatachi Yagura.

"Not really, that thing does have some effect."

"You can also try to collect them. They will all be returned to me in the end, so it doesn't make much difference."

Sahara Kiri's tone remained calm: "But if it were you, it would be better to stuff those things into those guys you don't like. For example, bloodline ninjas, they will die sooner or later."

"."

After hearing this, Karuji Yagura's anger finally subsided.

After a moment of silence, he continued to ask, "What are you going to do?"

When Sawara Kiri heard this, she looked at him with a bit of surprise in her eyes.

He reached out his hand, and under the other party's vigilant gaze, he gently smoothed the somewhat messy collar of Goji Yagura, and said in a calm tone:
"Yakura-kun, put yourself in your proper place."

"After all, you've already done a lot, haven't you?"

Karuji Yagura's expression changed for a moment, and finally he suddenly became a little dejected.

Yes, the Third Mizukage is dead.

What else could he do?

"I understand."

Sawara Kiri's expression remained calm and composed: "After that, just complete your duties as the Mizukage. You can also imitate other villages in your attitude towards the Four Souls Jewel, and don't reveal anything."

“Also, don’t let your guard down.”

"Yes."

After Sawara Kiri's shadow clone dissipated, Karutagi Yagura's back seemed to be hunched and he looked a little depressed.

Is he really saving Kirigakure?
Karuji Yagura didn't know.

All he can do now is to move forward stubbornly.

After all, he had no other choice.

It was not until a few days later, after the Hidden Mist Village hastily concluded the inauguration ceremony of the Fourth Mizukage, that Karutagi Yagura, under the order of the Mizukage, began to collect the fragments of the Four Souls Jade within the borders of the Water Country.

For the rest, everything is normal.

"Yakura."

In the basement of the Hidden Mist Village, Master Yuan, dressed in a monk's robe, raised his head as usual, looking at the slightly hazy sunlight under the fog, with a hint of emotion in his voice.

"You are the rising sun of Kirigakure. There are things you must do. You must bring a way out to this village at all costs."

"But I also have my own position."

"Ugh."

He let out a long sigh for no apparent reason.

Behind him, a Kirigakure jonin, who was clearly dressed as a bloodline ninja, quickly stepped into the room.

When he saw the Master's decaying appearance, a trace of disgust inadvertently flashed across his eyes, but he still lowered his head and said:

"Master Yuanshi, you can go in now."

"it is good."

The two of them walked one after the other into the darkness deeper underground.

Only when he saw a ray of light did Master Yuan's cloudy eyes shrink slightly.

In these incubation chambers are the bodies contributed by the Kirigakure ninjas, including Kaguya, Hozuki, Terumi, Mizunotsuki, and others.

This plan had already started the moment Sawara Kiri began to show his prowess.

At the same time, it is also the final life-and-death struggle that the Master prepared for Kirigakure.

Bloodline Beast Project.

Code name: Kimimaro.
