The Hidden Mist Blacksmith, forging the glory of the Ninja Sword Style!

The gap is too big.

It collapses immediately upon contact.

The Hozuki ninja was immediately thrown into a panic.

"The rest of the village has arrived!"

"What do we do now?"

"Uehara Shu hasn't been found yet!"

Where is the clan chief?

For the Hozuki clan, the worst-case scenario has occurred.

Since they failed to kill Uehara Osamu, the rest of the village had already come to their aid. The members who came to the forging island had almost no other outcome except being killed.

More importantly, members of the Hozuki clan who did not participate in this operation will also be implicated.

"Mizukage-sama!"

The Hozuki ninja was defeated.

Apart from those who had already been killed, all of them were trapped.

A dozen or so figures were pressed tightly against the mountain wall.

His expression was panicked and fearful.

Even his body was trembling.

Even though they were wearing masks and only their eyes were visible, you could still tell they were terrified.

Yagura stared intently at the Hozuki ninjas.

"Has it been repaired?"

The ANBU ninja next to him shook his head.

"Reporting to Lord Mizukage, we haven't found it yet, but we haven't also found any body that resembles that of Minister Uehara. Considering the behavior of these people, Minister Uehara is most likely still alive."

"It might be hidden."

Yagura nodded, his expression softening slightly.

However, his gaze toward Hozuki Ninja remained unfriendly.

"They actually invaded Kirigakure, broke into Forging Island, and attacked our village's blacksmiths."

"What a courage!"

"Who are you?"

A figure stepped out.

"Lord Mizukage, they are ninjas from the Hozuki clan."

Hozumo quickly stepped forward upon hearing Yagura's words.

He took off his mask as he walked.

“These people are all ninjas of the Hozuki clan. I know them.”

Yagura frowned.

"The Ghost Lantern Clan?"

Hozuki Izumo continued.

"Lord Mizukage, a long time ago, the Hozuki clan had a lot of complaints about Chief Uehara, believing that the Zanpakuto forged by Chief Uehara was blocking their path."

“Back when I was still with the Hozuki clan, they clearly expressed their intention to oppose the Forging Department and to oppose Minister Uehara, and spread malicious remarks about Minister Uehara.”

"At the time, I really wanted to contribute to my family, so I trained hard and earned the right to use the Thunder Blade."

"But because my performance did not meet their expectations."

"My performance with the Thunder Blade is far inferior to that of Senior Raiga with the Thunder Strike Blade."

"They simply took the thunder blade back from my hand."

"And they took their anger out on me."

"They've been targeting me in every way."

"It makes it impossible for me to stay in my original ninja position."

"Back then, it was Minister Uehara who took me in and let me stay on Forging Island."

"However, I never imagined that the Hozuki clan would be so vicious."

"They really dare to directly confront the former minister."

"A person like that doesn't deserve to be a member of the village at all."

"He deserves to die!"

Chapter 213 Yagura Hozuki Needs to Have His Clan Exterminated

As Hozuki Izumo finished speaking, everyone around him glared angrily at the Hozuki ninja in the center.

"unacceptable!"

"Absolutely shameless!"

"If you're not good enough, blame others for being too good!"

"Isn't it your Hozuki clan that selfishly wanted to control the Seven Ninja Swords?"

"How can you blame Minister Uehara for this?"

"He even tried to kill Minister Uehara, he's insane!"

"What does your Hozuki clan want to do?"

"Are we going to make enemies of the entire village?"

The Hozuki ninja, however, focused his gaze on Hozuki Izumo.

"traitor!"

"As a member of the Hozuki clan, how could you betray your family and side with outsiders!"

"The crime cannot be forgiven!"

"You are unworthy of being a member of the Hozuki clan."

"You have let down the blood that flows in your veins, and you have let down your own surname."

"If it weren't for you, our plan tonight might have already succeeded."

Hearing Hozuki's words, the group became even more furious.

"Even now, are you still so arrogant?"

"Do these Hozuki clan members think they have some kind of backing?"

"Do you think that just because you're a member of the second-generation patriarch's clan, the village can't do anything to you?"

"Too arrogant!"

They must be severely punished!

"Execute them!"

However, when Yagura, Genshi, and the others' gazes fell on Hozuki Izumo, things became slightly more complicated.

They didn't immediately believe Izumo Hozuki just because he stood up and rebuked the Hozuki clan for their crimes.

Instead, we should consider one problem.

So, as members of the Hozuki clan, is Hozuki Izumo really not with these other members of the Hozuki clan?

Could it be that this was done intentionally after the incident in order to protect some members of the Hozuki clan?

Is Hozuki Izumo and the besieged members of the Hozuki clan putting on a show?

Temporary cutting?

Genji and Yagura, among others, consider issues more comprehensively.

Yagura nodded.

"The Hozuki clan has committed a grave crime and must be severely punished."

"Fortunately, there are still outstanding individuals like Izumo within the Hozuki clan."

"I did not follow them into their depravity."

"You are very good."

"How many people did you just kill?"

The preceding sentences were all setup; the last sentence is what Yagura really wanted to ask.

"four people."

"what name?"

Hozumo paused for a moment before recalling what he had just heard and answered.

"Ghost Lighting, Ghost Lighting Hall, Ghost Lighting Jiuji, Ghost Lighting Jun."

Where are their bodies located?

"there."

Hozumo pointed in one direction.

Yagura gestured to one of the ANBU ninjas.

Immediately, the ANBU ninja flashed by, and soon returned carrying four corpses, all of which were members of the Hozuki clan.

Yagura then looked at another ninja.

After the ninja nodded, Yagura looked at Hozuki Izumo again, and a hint of trust appeared in his eyes.
