Suigetsu Hozuki carefully considered his words, hoping to calm the Mizukage's anger.
"However, Konoha has really gone too far! We have never targeted Konoha Village from beginning to end. It was because they chose to protect the descendants of Uzushiogakure even though they knew that we were already at war with Uzushiogakure that we had no choice but to take action."
"They disregarded the peace treaty signed with the Second Mizukage, brazenly killing our ninjas in the Land of Bears and stealing our ninja swords. This is a complete trampling of the dignity of Kirigakure. Therefore, Mizukage, I suggest—"
The Watermelon Mountain Pufferfish Demon suddenly raised its head.
"Declare war on Konoha!"

The Uchiha clan's stronghold.
During these three days, Shen Qiu basically stayed in the camp and did not go out. In any case, there was enough food stored in his spatial ring, so he did not have to worry about starving to death.
Overall, the results this time were quite good.
Gently stroking the azure double-bladed flounder, Shen Qiu smiled. This trip to the Land of Water had been incredibly profitable for him.
Shen Qiu deliberated for a long time before finally choosing between main quests 0 and 2, abandoning main quest 1. There was a reason for this: the Six Paths Ninja Tools looked wonderful and powerful, but there were too many intricacies involved, and it was really worth considering.
What we do know is that the Six Paths Tools were on Kinkaku and Ginkaku. In other words, theoretically, after the First Shinobi World War ended and Kinkaku and Ginkaku died, their Six Paths Tools should have been kept by the Land of Lightning.
However, judging from the subsequent plot, the Land of Lightning actually only possessed one ninja tool, the Amber Purification Bottle. The other five tools ended up in the hands of Kinkaku and Ginkaku after the Impure World Reincarnation.
This is quite intriguing. The only person who could start planning for the future so early on is Uchiha Madara, or rather, Black Zetsu.
The five Six Paths Tools are probably in Madara Uchiha's hands now. Not to mention that the entire ninja world is like a vast ocean, and I don't know where to find Madara Uchiha, even if I did find him, a fierce battle would be inevitable.
His current physical strength and energy may not yet be at the level of exhaustion he will have eighteen years later, making the risk of fighting Madara Uchiha unpredictable.
But the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist are different.
In addition, there is the main storyline 0. There are a total of nine tailed beasts. As the ultimate war weapon of each village, they are usually strictly guarded. However, as the Second Shinobi World War progresses, the Jinchuriki will inevitably have to go to the battlefield.
The Mangekyou Sharingan is the natural enemy of tailed beasts, and even the Nine-Tails cannot resist it. Once the time is right, acquiring a tailed beast will be a piece of cake.
"Dang Dang Dang"
"Dang Dang Dang"
Just as Shen Qiu was carefully planning the task, the door suddenly rang urgently.
"Chief Fugaku?"
Shen Qiu looked at the young clan leader of the Uchiha clan with some surprise as he pushed open the door. He saw that the young leader was wearing the Uchiha clan's patriarch's robes, which were usually only worn when going to important occasions.
Shen Qiu instinctively sensed that something was about to happen.
"A-Chi, I'm going to the Hokage's residence for a meeting on the Hokage-sama's orders. You'll be coming with me as well."
"really..."
Shen Qiu sighed inwardly. Over the past three days, all parties had probably been investigating what had happened during the mission to the Land of Whirlpools. Now that the investigation was probably clear, it was time to draw their swords.
"I heard that you killed Hozuki Senjin of Kirigakure, Akatsuki. I wonder if it's true or not."
On the way to the Hokage's residence, Fugaku suddenly said this.
As Hozuki Senjin is already a well-known strongman in the ninja world, it's not surprising that Fugaku knows his name. Shen Qiu also knows that after returning from the mission in the Land of Whirlpools, the Jonin of Konoha are all talking about this incident that caused a huge uproar.
"Yes."
Shen Qiu did not deny it, nor did he need to. After all, he still had to complete the first side quest. Having some fame was better than nothing, right?
"I never expected that just a few months ago we were at the bottom of the class, but now we can actually defeat the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist."
When he spoke again, Fugaku's gaze toward Shen Qiu had become somewhat unusual. He was now almost certain that Shen Qiu had been "keeping a low profile" all along.
"Just one of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist."
Shen Qiufeng's nonchalant tone only deepened the sense of mystery he held in Fu Yue's heart. At the same time, Fu Yue secretly made up his mind that he would find an opportunity to win Shen Qiufeng over to his side no matter what.
After all, the Uchiha clan was not having an easy time at this time.
"Crunch—"
With a somewhat jarring sound, Fugaku and Shen Qiu arrived at this large conference room, which is rarely open to the public. The room was slightly dark and very large, with a long oval table in the center.
The seating arrangement at the table was quite particular. Sitting directly in front was none other than the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi. To his left sat Danzo Shimura, Koharu Utatane, Homura Mitokado, Torifu Akimichi, and Sakumo Hatake.
· ·Requesting flowers··· ···
Sakumo's position is rather awkward, being at the end, but this is also related to his lack of seniority.
Although Shen Qiu couldn't name many of the people sitting on the right, he could tell from their attire and appearance that they were the patriarchs of various families.
The first seat was occupied by a woman who looked very old, but Shen Qiu recognized her origin from the patterns on her clothes at a glance.
The Senju clan of the Forest founded the Hidden Leaf Village.
The next spot was empty, and that was where the Uchiha clan would sit.
Following the Uchiha clan was the Hyuga clan, but Shen Qiu didn't recognize the person sitting there. He looked to be around thirty or forty years old, probably the head of the Hyuga main family. Interestingly, the person standing behind him was about the same age as him and looked very much like Hyuga Kiyokawa.
. ..... ...
It's estimated to be the head of the branch family, Hyuga Kiyokawa's father—Hyuga Kiyobayashi.
As soon as Shen Qiu and Fu Yue entered, almost all eyes turned to them, especially to Shimura Danzo, whose left eye was practically blazing with barely suppressed rage.
Oh, and Hinata Kiyoshi too.
However, Shen Qiu ignored their gazes and followed Fugaku to the seat that had been prepared for him. Because of his status, he did not have a seat and could only stand behind Fugaku.
However, at this moment, Hiruzen Sarutobi spoke up.
"Uchiha Aki, sit behind Hatake Sakumo."
Upon hearing this, the previously quiet crowd immediately erupted into a frenzy, as if a pot had been boiled over!
Although the assignment of positions is not explicitly defined, it is actually a kind of unspoken rule, and everyone knows in their hearts that they should sit in their rightful place.
Who are the people sitting on the left? They are the most trusted advisors of the Hokage! They are the people who are directly summoned and used by the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, and can be said to be the people he trusts the most.
By doing this, Hiruzen Sarutobi was essentially telling everyone directly: Aki Uchiha is mine!

Hearing the commotion below, Hiruzen Sarutobi frowned and then gently tapped the table a few times.
The scene fell silent instantly.
"Alright, the main reason I've summoned you all here is to inform you of something: the Uzumaki clan's homeland, the Land of Whirlpools, has been annexed by the Hidden Mist Village."
Hiruzen paused, but no one in the audience responded to him.
"Konoha and Uzumaki Village have been allies for generations, but since we learned of this news very late, we are powerless to do anything. We can only send a small team to see if we can bring back as many of the Uzumaki clan's orphans as possible."
"Although the journey to complete the mission was extremely dangerous, Class 10 still completed the mission exceptionally well and successfully brought back the three sons of the Uzumaki clan."
As he spoke, Hiruzen Sarutobi turned his gaze to Sakumo Hatake, and the others also looked at the rather young Sakumo Hatake, who was only in his early twenties.
At this moment, the various families realized that this young man's future was absolutely limitless, so they all smiled at him.
However, just as the heads of the various clans were thinking about how to win over Sakumo Hatake after the meeting, Danzo suddenly spoke up.
"Hmph, even so, there is one thing I want to ask the Tenth Squad: why did you attack and even kill the four men I sent to help you? Are you afraid of having your credit stolen?"
Danzo Shimura immediately stood up. Although one of his eyes was covered by a bandage, his imposing presence remained undiminished.
"coming."
Shen Qiu narrowed his eyes; he knew this old codger was definitely up to no good.
"Please listen to the information I have here. It completely contradicts what Sakumo Hatake submitted." With that, Danzo pulled a stack of white documents from his sleeve and slammed them onto the table!
"According to my intelligence, three members of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist—Hozuki Senjin, Murashi Jinpachi, and Kurihara Kushimaru—came to the Land of Bears in search of three orphans of the Uzumaki clan. They found our Anbu stationed in the Land of Bears: Shiranui Genpu, Kato Dan, and Nara Tetsuya."
"The two sides then engaged in a fierce battle. The three members of the Anbu were no match for them, and Nara Tetsuya was killed in battle. Kato Dan and Shiranui Genpu fled with the three members of the Uzumaki clan, but they were quickly caught up by the three ninja swordsmen."
So far, Danzo Shimura's words have been relatively normal, but the real show is yet to come.
"After Team 10 arrived, Hatake Sakumo realized that his side was no match for the three ninja swordsmen, so he asked Uchiha Aki, Kobayashi Ruri, and Senju Nawaki to take the children and leave. Who could have imagined—"
At this point, Shimura Danzo immediately changed his tone, a tone that subtly suppressed his anger.
"Sakumo Hatake was actually tricked by one of Senjin Hozuki's water clones, and as a result, these kids were immediately caught up by Senjin Hozuki. Just when they were in imminent danger, thankfully my four subordinates arrived in time!"
"My four subordinates engaged in a fierce battle with Hozuki Senjin, and all four were seriously injured in the end. However, at that moment, something unexpected happened!"
As he spoke, Shimura Danzo pointed at Shen Qiu!
"This brat, in order to seize the ninja sword from Hozuki Senjin and the merits of the mission, actually took advantage of the fact that my two subordinates were seriously injured to launch a sneak attack on them, and even falsely claimed that he defeated Hozuki Senjin, and that my four subordinates attacked him first before he retaliated. Such a guy should be handed over to Root for interrogation immediately!"
As soon as Shimura Danzo finished speaking, it immediately caused a huge uproar among the crowd!
