Evil Uchiha brat, I'll marry you myself.

Two years had made Uchiha Shizuru's body even taller and more slender.

But she always wore that tattered fox mask on her face and never took it off in front of others.

"Bang bang bang~"

There was a knock on the door.

Inside the room, Uchiha Shizumi put down the intelligence scrolls from various countries in her hand, her tone authoritative and cold: "Come in."

The door was pushed open, and a member of the secret service walked in.

He knelt on one knee, bowed his head, and said, "Lord Mizukage, our spies from Konoha have sent word that the First Hokage, Hashirama Senju, has passed away!"

A barely perceptible smile appeared on Uchiha Shizuru's cold and aloof face beneath her mask. She had finally outlived that annoying guy.

She said calmly, "Yes, I understand." Then she continued to look down at the intelligence scroll in her hand.

The ANBU member looked up and asked cautiously, "Lord Mizukage, is there anything we need to do?"

Uchiha Shizumizu's lips curled up slightly, a cold glint flashing in his eyes. "You go and gather all the members of the Anbu immediately. Also, recall all the ninjas who are on missions outside."

"Yes, Lord Mizukage."

Sensing the powerful aura and authority emanating from Uchiha Shizuru, the Anbu members dared not be negligent in the slightest and immediately nodded in agreement.

Then, he quickly stood up, turned around, and left.

After he left, Uchiha Shizuru stood up, walked to the window, looked at the scenery outside, and secretly pondered his next plan.

Over the past two and a half years.

Uchiha Shizumizu displayed ruthless methods and decisive decision-making abilities, thus earning the title of "Iron-Blooded Queen".

This instilled great awe in the people of Kirigakure, who dared not question or resist any of her orders.

"Lord Mizukage, are you about to cause trouble so soon?"

Hozuki Gengetsu, who was reviewing the document, spoke with a hint of speechlessness, but the excitement in his eyes was hard to hide.

He seemed excited about the upcoming operation, even eager to participate; there was no doubt he was a war fanatic.

"Go and assemble the ships. The target of this blitzkrieg is the Land of Earth!"

Uchiha Shizusui's voice was calm and firm, as if she had been fully prepared.

Upon hearing the words "Land of Earth," Hozuki Gengetsu's eyes lit up. He immediately stood up and answered without hesitation, "Complete the mission immediately!!"

After saying that, he quickly left the room, leaving Uchiha Shizumi alone standing by the window, quietly watching the busy Kirigakure ninja below.

Whether the ninja world descends into chaos or not is up to Uchiha Shizuru to decide.

"Rest assured, Gu Mu," Uchiha Shizumi secretly vowed. She would end this cruel world!

......

At the border of the Land of Water, after a day of gathering, the ninjas who were closer to the land had returned, while those who were farther away had all received orders to attack the Land of Earth and had begun their journey.

"The time has come to test the results of our training. In order to revive the Land of Water and to avenge the First Mizukage."

"Let's march on the Land of Earth and prove the Hidden Mist Village!"

Uchiha Shizuru, dressed in a black robe, stood at the bow of the ship and said a few words to boost morale.

As for why the Land of Earth was chosen.

Firstly, the Land of Earth itself has a long-standing feud with the Land of Water, and Hozuki Gengetsu, in particular, had a life-or-death battle with the current Second Tsuchikage.

The bandages covering his body were a gift from Hozuki Gengetsu.

"kill!!"

"kill!!"

The shouts of ninjas echoed from below. Two and a half years of training had transformed the Hidden Mist Village ninjas into a well-trained and iron-blooded army.

Five people form a small team, and ten people form a large brigade.

Combined with the Hidden Mist Village's fog assassination techniques, it's enough to easily reap a crazy harvest on the battlefield.

"leave!!"

Following Uchiha Shizuru's command, over a hundred ships crossed the sea and began their journey towards the Land of Earth.

......

The sky, which was originally dry and bright, suddenly turned dark at the coastal border of the Land of Earth.

A fierce wind raged across the sea, and an endless thick fog howled overhead.

"What's going on? Why is it foggy on such a hot day?"

The ninja from the Land of Earth guarding the border looked on with some confusion as the thick fog gradually covered the space.

They vigilantly observed their surroundings, gripping their weapons tightly, ready to deal with any potential dangers.

One of the ninjas frowned and whispered, "This fog is too strange. Everyone be careful!"

Another ninja nodded and replied, "Yeah, and the temperature seems to have dropped quite a bit. Something's not right."

Some alert ninjas were already planning to report the situation here.

However, just as they were preparing to take action, dark figures suddenly emerged from the thick fog.

These shadowy figures moved swiftly, like ghosts, and arrived in front of them in the blink of an eye.

Before the ninjas from the Land of Earth, who were hiding in the shadows, could react, they felt a cold breath coming from their necks.

Then they heard a soft sound—"Pfft..."

Spurts of blood burst open from their necks, spraying blood into the air.

The bodies of these Land of Earth ninjas collapsed limply to the ground, lifeless.

Their eyes widened, their faces filled with shock and fear, as if they could not believe they had been killed so easily.

The entire scene was completely silent, except for the sound of the blood gushing out, which echoed in the air.

"Hozuki Gengetsu, take fifty men and assassinate all the intelligence ninjas in this area."

Uchiha Shizumizu coldly issued the order, her voice carrying an unquestionable authority.

"The rest of you, follow me and continue to clear the way for the main army."

Uchiha Shizusui's gaze swept over the crowd, a resolute and determined glint in her eyes.

Only by quickly breaking through the enemy's defenses can we pose the greatest threat to them.

Upon hearing the order, Hozuki Gengetsu revealed a sinister smile.

He wore the headband of Kirigakure (Hidden Mist Village) on his head, and his eyes blazed with intense excitement. He had a particular fondness for assassination, and now was the time to put his skills to use.

"Yes!"

Hozuki Gengetsu's voice was deep and hoarse, revealing a cold and ruthless aura.

He turned and left, leading fifty elite ninjas as they quietly disappeared into the thick fog.

The best outcome would be that by the time Iwagakure reacts, their army will already be at the city gates.

In this way, Iwagakure will be put on the defensive and led by the nose.

Uchiha Shizumizu's eyes flashed with a blood-red light, then he waved for the others to follow.

She led the remaining ninjas forward, clearing a safe passage for the main army behind them, allowing them to smoothly enter Iwagakure territory.

Chapter 72 Onoki is tortured to the point of suffocation

At the same time, the newly appointed Second Tsuchikage, Mu, was considering how to strengthen Iwagakure when his expression suddenly changed.

His clone, positioned on the border of the Land of Earth, sensed a large number of ninjas approaching.

"Damn it, they actually broke the peace treaty. Could it be that something happened to Hashirama Senju of Konoha?" Mu said with a gloomy expression.

He secretly wondered what was going on, and this sudden change made him uneasy.

As the leader of Iwagakure, he was well aware of the cruelty and cost of war, but at this moment, he had to face reality.

"Assemble!! Quickly assemble the Iwagakure ninja! There's an enemy attack, it seems to be Kirigakure!!" Mu shouted loudly to the short guard beside him.

The urgent words caused the Tsuchikage's guard beside him to change his expression. He was none other than Onoki, the current Second Tsuchikage's apprentice, in his youth.

Years ago, he was so frightened by a single glance from Madara Uchiha that he stopped in his tracks, and that terrifying pressure still haunts him to this day.

However, after learning of Madara Uchiha's death, he gradually regained his composure and once again displayed his talent and ability.

"Yes!! Lord Tsuchikage!" Onoki replied respectfully.

He acted swiftly, relaying the Tsuchikage's orders and organizing the Iwagakure ninja to assemble urgently.

......

On the loess plateau, surrounded by jagged rocks, towering stone pillars rise into the sky, like giants standing in this desolate land.

Uchiha Shizumizu led a group of ninjas, assassinating Iwagakure ninjas along the way. After two days of arduous travel, they finally arrived at the heart of the Land of Earth.

As expected, tonight they will be able to witness the Hidden Stone Village (Iwagakure) of the Land of Earth.
