From undercover in Konoha, to I am the Hokage!

Chapter 207: Survive (5k)

'Everything is going according to his plan.'

On the rooftop, Kujira Yagura looked down at the scenes happening in front of him, whether it was Sawara Kiri smashing the most elite army of the bloodline faction with one blow, or him completely crushing the monster that he could not defeat with all his strength, or the time when a group of Konoha's hidden troops joined the battlefield
This sentence suddenly popped up in his mind.

Although he had heard Sawara Kiri describe the entire plan from the very beginning, when he saw it happen with his own eyes, the slight desire for a miracle in Karutagi Yagura's heart was ultimately shattered. Everything was happening slowly and leisurely under his absolute power.

The sound of fighting between the ambush troops of Konoha and the Hidden Mist Army became more and more harsh in his ears. All kinds of shouts and wails mixed together, hammering at his heart like a sledgehammer.

Just as Sawara Kiri had told him before.

——For Konoha, the Hidden Mist Village will only be completely safe when the number of survivors drops below 5,000.

Even if there are only 5,000 people, a series of publicity and testing methods must be implemented.

Everyone else besides these five thousand people will also die.

'This one is also going according to his plan, right?'

As Yagura Karu was thinking in his heart, his eyes as clear as amethyst were staring straight at the scene of countless compatriots dying under the building, and his heart was broken.

After the plan to reduce the number of people was in place, it was his turn as the 'Fourth Mizukage' to appear.

He needs to admit this crime, which is heavy enough to suffocate him, in front of Sawara Kiri and all the remaining Kirigakure ninjas, and make it clear that he summoned the 'Konoha Heavenly Army' in order to defeat the bloodline faction, and the price is to make Kirigakure a complete vassal of Konoha and kill all the bloodline ninjas who are hostile to him.

Karuju Yagura could almost imagine the scene he would face after saying these words.

Countless members of the reformist faction who once trusted him immensely would stare at his prostrate back with extreme hatred, but would have to bow their heads under the absolute power and the safety of their families. They might also try to assassinate him while roaring in rage, and then be easily crushed by Sawara Kiri.

Carrying a body full of sins, he will continue to serve as the leader as a servant of Sawara Kiri, leading the remaining Kirigakure ninjas and their families to a long-selected residence in the Land of Fire. He will show an extremely selfish face and force himself to cooperate with all arrangements of Konoha or Sawara Kiri in order to subdue the remaining Kirigakure ninjas.

Only when the name 'Kirigakure' becomes a memory of the older generation five or ten years from now, and when all the resistance and revival movements are over, can he be freed from all guilt, hatred and infamy.

He knew it all, and was willing to sacrifice everything for the last spark of the Mist - both his life and his reputation.

No?
But why am I starting to get scared now?

"Crunch."

Goji Yagura clenched his fists unconsciously, and the rooftop railing in his palm twisted into a piece of scrap metal like a rag, making a shrill sound, and an unnatural, floating tailed beast chakra coat appeared on the surface of his body.

The 'Mist Hidden Anbu' members beside him, who were wrapped in white robes, turned their gazes from the distance back to him.

Under the mask, Uchiha Fugaku even opened his scarlet Sharingan in advance, closely watching the target's every move, vigilantly holding the kunai at his waist, and reminded in a cold tone:
"Lord Mizukage, please be aware of your status."

However, Karuta Yagura seemed to have not heard his words at all, and continued to stare at the scenes happening in front of him one after another.

His compatriots were constantly being killed, and the so-called strong men were no match for Sawara Kiri's troops. The blood-red paint spread across the village where he was born and raised, and lives disappeared in confusion and pain.

restless.

'Even if I don't need to do this, Sawara Kiri won't kill all the Kirigakure ninjas, right?'

"He should at least still care about the evaluation of the ninja world, to some extent."

Yagura Gotachi witnessed with his own eyes the well-rested Konoha ambush troops slaughtering the Kirigakure ninjas who were exhausted from the battle between the two factions, and this unrealistic idea suddenly popped up in his mind.

As for Sawara Kiri, who he thought "cares about the evaluation in the ninja world", he was holding the blood-stained Kimimaro in one hand like a bag, while killing the brave Kirigakure ninjas who charged forward one by one like cutting weeds.

There was no intention of showing any mercy at all.

The number of compatriots was decreasing rapidly, from 17,000 at the beginning to 15,000, and then to even lower.
The Kirigakure ninjas who tried to avoid Sawara Kiri's figure and flee into the distance were surrounded by a giant barrier that the Konoha ninjas had set up at some point in time. Only a very small number of them managed to get out from the corners through secret techniques, but their number was pitifully small.

Many more people are like crickets covered in a porcelain bowl. No matter how they jump, they can hardly escape from this realm filled with death.

No matter how painful Karuichi Yagura's fantasy was, he had to admit this in the face of reality.

——Even the number of kills was all within Sawara Kiri's 'plan'.

Yes.

He is the complete opposite of the first Hokage, a cold-blooded and extremely cruel monster, even more radical and violent than Uchiha Madara, who was known as the 'Shura of Konoha' back then, and he possesses power that surpasses both of them.

This is a monster filled with hatred, created by two Ninja World Wars under the one-country-one-village system.

At this moment, Karuta Yagura only felt that the beating of his heart in his chest was as heavy as a drum, and the constantly pumping blood was like a tsunami, washing away everything that was suppressed in his heart, as well as his endurance as a ninja.

My body feels like it's going to explode on the spot all the time.

The surrounding 'Mist Hidden Anbu' looked at him with increasingly indifference, and some even pointed the tips of their kunai at him without concealing any intention.

Until a certain moment.

"Go to hell!"

“You—monster!!”

A roar of extreme rage suddenly came from the dark alley on the side of the street, but a tall figure rushed from the direction opposite to the sound, holding a beheading sword as thick as a door panel, whistling in the wind, aiming directly at the neck of the man known as the 'Second Generation Ninja God'.

In stark contrast to the shrill roar was Biwa Juzo's indifferent expression, as if he was ready to die.

Unfortunately, in front of the "Six Eyes", no matter it was the sound interference caused by the clone technique, the murderous intent that suddenly arose when approaching within five meters by silent steps, or the big sword known as one of the Seven Great Ninja Swords of the Mist, which could automatically restore its steel just by sucking blood, and the wind-style chakra condensed to the extreme that was wrapped around the surface of the blade, all were the same.

Meaningless.

Sawara Kiri still held Kimimaro's neck in his left hand. He turned around and looked at the tall figure who was attacking him. The ferocity in the other's eyes was reflected in his bright blue eyes. He suddenly raised one hand.

"Ding."

It was clearly the contact between the knuckles and the blade, but deep in Biwa Juuzou's heart, it seemed as if a crisp sound of metal clashing sounded.

The beheading sword, swung with all his strength, was like a child swinging a branch and hitting an iron pillar in front of the man.

Be it the beheading sword and the huge inertia of his whole body, or the wind escape wrapped around the surface of the blade, all dissipated silently and was held steadily between the opponent's index finger and thumb.

Just like picking a flower.

"Is this the fragile sword?"

This was the first and last sentence that Sahara Kiri said to him.

In his left hand he was clearly holding a twisting and struggling monster that seemed incredibly strong to them, but its speed was so fast that it was completely beyond his comprehension.

It was just a step forward.

However, the upper half of the beheading sword in his hand, as well as his figure, disappeared.

Biwa Juzang didn't even realize when the beheading sword in his hand was broken.

He stood there with difficulty, trying to turn around and look at the man called the 'Demon King'.

Then, he saw Sawara Kiri holding the half-broken beheading blade in his hand, like a stranger who passed by him, and never glanced in his direction again.

"puff--"

At this moment, the intense pain in the chest and abdomen suddenly traveled along the nerves to the brain.

Two scarlet marks in the shape of an 'X' were clearly imprinted on the front of his torso, tearing apart all the muscles and bones.

Sticky blood flowed out from the crack, followed by slippery internal organs, pouring out as he continued to move forward by inertia.

Biwa Juzo took two steps subconsciously and fell to his knees with a thud.

"The fate of Kirigakure is finally over."

In the last moment before death, Biwa Juuzou didn't know if it was an illusion, but he suddenly heard the Fourth Hokage's rage and unbearable cry in his ears.

"Sa!hara! Kiri!"

With a loud bang, the air wave like a vacuum channel was squeezed and spread by the body. The figure that looked thin and short like a child, passed through an unknown distance of meters like a meteor, and shot straight towards the direction of Sawara Kiri.

Sawara Kiri's deep blue eyes swept over, with a hint of surprise in her eyes, as if she had not expected Karuju Yagura's reaction.

He was moving at a speed that was impossible for ordinary people to catch, but in the vision of the "Six Eyes", every detail was visible. A complete tail emerged from his lower back, and his entire body was covered in the floating bubble of tailed beast chakra coat.

In addition to this, there were three or four deeply penetrated kunai hanging from his back at the same time.

However, he seemed to be completely unaware of the pain coming from behind, and his bloodshot eyes shot towards Sawara Kiri.

The left hand completed the seal at a speed so fast that it was difficult to see clearly.

"Water Escape·Water——"

A huge amount of tailed beast chakra surged in his mouth. Even if one only judged by the total amount, one could tell that this was definitely a very powerful attack.

At the same time, the right hand, which was ready to strike, had already swung out the hooked long stick, and the huge force pulled the fine steel object into a winding arc in mid-air.

Unfortunately.

"boom!"

The fierce knee strike pierced into his abdomen in an instant before he could utter a word, digging deeply into it and directly dispelling his attack.

The half-broken beheading blade in his right hand cut off the half-broken long stick with a "ding" sound with an irresistible force.

The floating figure of Karuju Yagura was still suspended in mid-air, and Sahara Kiri had already used the "Moon Step" to step in mid-air to gain leverage, then he spun around and kicked fiercely into his side, kicking the petite figure into the collapsed ruins.

Biwa Juzo, who was lying on the ground, watched this scene with his eyes wide open. His final expression revealed an indescribable despair.

"Even the Fourth Hokage cannot stand in front of that man."

However, before he could continue his thoughts, he heard Sahara Kiri standing there and speaking:

"Breaking a promise is not a good habit, Lord Yagura."

"We've already agreed on this." "I'll help you kill the bloodline faction, and you lead the rest to become Konoha's vassal."

"Now, you're planning to rob your fellow thieves?"

Biwa Juzo, who was lying on the ground, was startled for a moment, and then his eyes suddenly widened.

"Wow--"

Goji Yagura pushed away the wall that was pressing on him, and walked out covered in dust and scars. A trace of ruthlessness flashed across his young face, and the corners of his lips curled up with difficulty:

"Five thousand cannon fodder from other villages is just within the standard that Konoha can control. Even if I die here, you will still swallow these people for the sake of the impending collapse of the ninja world."

"Your indifference and your rationality are all driving you to make this choice."

"After all, you are the invincible Sawara Kiri."

"And my existence only makes it easier for you to control these cannon fodder."

"Sawara Kiri, I bet you will still act according to the 'plan'."

As Karuju Yagura spoke, he slowly walked towards Sawara Kiri, lowering his head slightly to avoid Biwa Juuzou's staring eyes, his voice slightly low:
"not to mention"

“I just found out.”

"This pain and sin are too heavy, Sawara Kiri."

As he spoke, a smile of relief slowly appeared on his young face, and he looked straight in the direction of Sawara Kiri:

"In that case, I might as well die in your hands here, as the Fourth Mizukage, before I truly bear all the infamy."

As he spoke softly, violent chakra fluctuations gradually emerged from the surface of Goji Yagura's body, the surging air waves spread out to the surroundings, and he himself was completely transformed into a half-tailed beast wrapped in chakra.

Sahara Kiri looked at him quietly, and after a long silence, he suddenly smiled:
"According to the 'plan'?"

"really."

The moment he finished speaking, the half-tailed beast, Yagura, shot out, breaking through the street with his four claws, and crossed a distance of dozens of meters at a speed that could not be captured by the naked eye, wrapped in a dull sound of wind.

The arm, as long as rubber, drew a huge semi-arc in the air, sweeping through the surrounding buildings and falling towards Sawara Kiri.

The arm surrounded by the sharp sound of breaking through the air was easily blocked by the raised right hand. Sahara Kiri took a step forward, and his figure instantly passed through the sight of everyone around him. The heavy fist wrapped in "no bottom line" hit Yagura's face hard, causing his neck to be stretched one or two meters in an instant.

What followed was an ultra-high-speed physical technique that was so fast that not even the shadow could be seen.

The heavy blows from the punches made Goji Yagura feel like tofu that had been run over by a steamroller. The mixed feeling of soreness and pain gave his dull and dizzy brain a sudden sense of being "alive".

Another punch dug into his cheek, and his facial features seemed to be stuffed into his skull.

But Goju Yagura suddenly shook his head, and with a clang his head hit Sawara Kiri just a few inches away.

No advance.

It's ok.

He had anticipated this scene.

Before Sawara Kiri could make any move, he saw that Karutagi Yagura's limbs seemed to be stretched several times longer in an instant, and were tied tightly around him like ropes.

Immediately following behind him, three long dark red tails stabbed out at high speed like curling spears, aiming directly at his vest.

"boom--"

The diffuse air waves poured down violently, and his limbs wrapped around Sawara Kiri were easily broken with almost no resistance.

It's ok.

He had already imagined this helpless scene.

When his body was blown away and flipped in mid-air, the three tails behind Karuizawa Yagura suddenly plunged into the ground, and the tailed beast chakra on the surface of his entire body gathered at a further high degree of condensation, forming a thick shell.

Originally it was in the form of a half-tailed beast, but now it has completely transformed into the three-tailed Isobu.

The gaping mouth of the abyss expanded rapidly, and the black and white spots of light shrank at a speed far beyond the ordinary.

"Tailed Beast Ball: Continuous Blast!!"

Amidst the dull roar, one black Tailed Beast Ball after another shot out straight towards Sawara Kiri.

That extremely high speed and incredible power were almost entirely driven by his and Isobu's life force.

However, his target, Sahara Kiri, still looked at him expressionlessly and stretched out his hand indifferently - in his other hand, he was even still easily suppressing Kimimaro.

Fire and shockwaves continued to explode in front of him, but his steps did not stop even for a moment, he just walked straight towards his direction.

This is the power of the "unlimited technique" that allowed him to dominate the entire ninja world.

But it doesn't matter.

He had long anticipated how feeble the resistance would be.

Just as Karujutsu Yagura himself had imagined countless times.

In front of the strong, even the resistance of the weak seems so cute.

"puff--!"

The pale bone spear shot out from the ground and easily penetrated the fragile abdominal armor of the three-tailed beast.

The length was hundreds of meters, and the giant bone spur was so large that it actually lifted up the three-tailed Isobu, the incarnation of Gotachibana Yagura.

"vomit!"

Scarlet blood gushed out.

The three-tailed Isobu turned back into the petite Karatachi Yagura.

At this moment, Mingming was seriously injured.

On his seemingly young face, there was a smile that showed an incomparable ease.

obviously.

From the very beginning, he was heading for death.

"cough cough"

Blood foam flowed from Karuju Yagura's mouth. He looked up at Sahara Kiri who was looking down at him, and grinned with difficulty:

“It really, really hurts.”

"But, don't you still remember your identity as a Kirigakure ninja?"

"Hui Ye Lian."

But somehow, when he raised his head and met Sawara Kiri's bright blue eyes, what he saw was not his anger or irritation, but just the annoyance of an ordinary office worker when he suddenly had one more job to do.

"Now that we've made such a fuss, it's time to get up and get to work."

"Yakura-sama."

Goju Yagura was stunned when he heard this.

The sight that was lying flat and looking up at the sky suddenly turned 180 degrees in a very unnatural horizontal state and looked at the ground.

When he regained control of his movements, he suddenly discovered.

She was half-kneeling on one knee, with her head bowed at the feet of this man.

There were no ruins, no wounds, no feeling of pain, and no ability to escape from his grasp.

".?"

After a moment, he lowered his head and seemed to realize what he had just experienced.

"Mirror Flower Water Moon"

At this time, Gotachibana Yagura, who was half-kneeling on the ground, had no idea what had been said by himself who had just mastered his five senses.

All I know is that the moment he raised his head, all the Kirigakure ninjas around him, whether they were fighting or had left the battle, were all looking at him quietly.

The oppressive silence seemed to suffocate him on the spot.

Goji Yagura widened his eyes in shock.

However, before he could do anything, Sahara Kiri leaned down slowly, leaned close to his ear while he was half-kneeling on the ground, and whispered:

"As you bet, I will indeed proceed with the plan."

"And you, Lord Yagura."

"It's very important in my plan."

Goji Yagura raised his head stiffly, looking at the man who was holding a little monster in his hand but smiling gently, and listened to the extremely cruel words he uttered in a soft tone:
"Stay alive, Yagura."

Hearing his words, Karuji Yagura, who had just raised his head, slowly lowered his eyes.

On his tender face, there was an expression that seemed to be both crying and laughing, and his eyes were empty.

live.

What is this
What a cruel curse?
