Naruto: The Progenitor of Demons Starting from Kirigakure

Chapter 121 A New Year

Although it is winter, the weather on the island does not change much.

There's a reason why people from Northeast China would migrate to Hainan Island for the winter.

On Asagiri Island, it's rare to see snowfall. As the New Year approaches, the ninja world is about to turn a new page.

During this period, Mito carried out a mission to conquer the ninja clans, recaptured an important trading port, and single-handedly subdued two ninja clans: the Dried Gourmet Shark Clan and the Red Gourmet Orca Clan.

Among them, the leader of the Red Persimmon Clan was a colossal tiger girl who was easily suppressed by Mito and was dissatisfied. When she arrived in the village, she immediately launched a captain challenge against Saizo. After a fierce battle with Saizo, she finally succeeded in winning the position of one of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist.

Looking at her large physique, Byakuren was very satisfied. She was practically no different from some large ninja beasts, and she looked like she could lift a heavy object, making her the leader of the Third Division's Shadow Guard.

Its name is Red Persimmon.

The last remaining spot belongs to Raiden and the medical team.

This setup is very much like electrotherapy.

Currently, Kirigakure does not have a suitable successor. The Hoshigaki clan does have one, according to Mito, who has a massive amount of chakra, similar to that of a tailed beast. However, Mito specializes in dealing with tailed beasts, which is based on their massive chakra reserves. Perhaps deterred by Mito, he refuses to show himself.

After completing a mission and gaining reputation, Mito then focused on building up the Second Division.

Yukihime, on the other hand, was engrossed in conquering ninja clans, which allowed her to escape from that damned security office.

Within the entire island of the Land of Water, there are no longer any formidable opponents. With Yuki's conquest, the entire island will be recovered within the year. Next, the remaining forces on the island will be wiped out. During this process, some ninja clans will gradually be incorporated into Kirigakure.

It is worth mentioning the Red-Eyed Clan and the Ringo Clan in the Land of Water, which is known for its Lightning Release. Among them, Yura discovered several small ninja clans whose members have strong vitality and physical constitution, making them suitable to become Jinchūriki. One of these clans is called Karatachi.

Soon, Hashirama Senju's first batch of goods will be delivered.

Konoha acted swiftly, and Hashirama Senju's journey to collect the tailed beasts went smoothly. Kirigakure had intelligence that they had spotted a battle between Hashirama Senju and the Three-Tails on the sea, but they hadn't received any further news yet. Madara had found the Nine-Tails.

Meanwhile, Yura stayed in the Seventh Division, spending her days training, researching, and developing, quietly accumulating power. With the entire Hidden Mist Village behind her, Yura didn't need to search the entire ninja world for a suitable heart like Kakuzu did. If she needed anything, it was just a matter of manipulating it. Her days passed peacefully like this.

Phantom Moon also stayed in the Sixth Division, making the most of her time for training and practice.

Saizo also broke with his usual ways, staying secluded and diligently studying the decapitation sword.

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year. (x4)

This year marks the fourth year of the Hidden Mist.

In the living room on the fourth floor, Mito gave the four little ones red envelopes and then lazily nestled on the sofa. Beside her was Yura, who was already comfortably tucked into the sofa, while Momochi sat beside her, elegantly brewing hot tea.

"You big monster!" Lucy exclaimed, "Where's your red envelope?"

Yura raised her eyelids slightly, looked at Lucy, said nothing, and said to Mito, "There are rumors that Hashirama Senju has already been to the Land of Lightning."

"What?" Mito looked at Yura.

"With the Senju brothers personally overseeing the operation, they've handed over the Eight-Tails Gyūki and the Two-Tails Matatabi," Jieluo said. "Kumakuna is going to have a headache for a while. Managing the Tailed Beasts is a huge problem. Even with Hashirama Senju leaving behind Wood Release chakra crystals for temporary suppression, Kumogakure, lacking mature sealing techniques, is still in chaos. They're searching the entire ninja world for sealing techniques. By all accounts, they'll soon turn their attention to Uzumaki."

This is a message from Shuichi, sent by a spy planted by Jieluo.

Seeing that Gyro ignored her, Lucy's courage vanished like the tide, and she angrily dealt with the snacks on the table.

"He really knows how to cause trouble," Mito said. "Doesn't he understand that his plan to control the tailed beasts has completely failed?"

"Once the arrow is released, there's no turning back, Mito," Yura said. "If we don't carry it out, we'll become a laughing stock in the ninja world, something people will laugh about for centuries."

"That's true," Mito said. "Then it'll soon be Kirigakure's turn."

Jieluo said, "Kumakuna set a good example. I heard that they were buying on credit and getting something for free. The evil Tobirama Senju turned green with anger, but Hashirama was still stupid enough to give away the tailed beast."

Of the five major villages, only Wuyin paid money; old man Bailian is truly trustworthy.

"How shameless..." Mito said, "Wasn't the First Hokage of Kumogakure a legendary hero?"

As the founder of the Yotsuki clan and Kumogakure, the First Hokage, A, was a gangster boss whose hegemonic ideology is considered the root cause of the First Shinobi World War, in which Kumogakure launched the first attack on Konoha.

"Since it's just a rumor, we definitely need to promote it in a positive light. He's the same kind of person as Uchiha Madara," Jieluo said.

Mito seemed to be deep in thought.

Momochi listened quietly. Lately, the casual conversations between Yura and Mito had often broadened her horizons.

"So, when they arrive, do you want to meet them?" Yura said. "Hiding from Tobirama Senju's perception would make it seem like I'm afraid of the brothers."

Mito covered her mouth and laughed, then said, "Aren't you scared? That's the God of Shinobi! I don't care, but I'm afraid Tobirama still doesn't dare to tell his older brother about this."

"It's great to have a powerful older brother and act under his name," Jieluo said.

"Only a fool would not use it," Mito said in a deep voice. "Tobirama Senju is a very intelligent man. In the future, we will inevitably have to fight him a few times, so we must be extremely careful."

Jie Luo shook his head and said, "Living longer makes it easier to win. He's not young anymore. Hopefully, he can maintain his peak condition by then, otherwise, he'll lose badly."

In the current ninja world, Yura has never worried about the Senju brothers; there is only one opponent worth paying attention to.

Madara Uchiha.

As for the Third Hokage, Yura hopes he will be the strongest Hokage of all time.

"With the Flying Thunder God Technique at his disposal, how could he possibly lose?" Mito said. "Whether he fights or runs, the initiative in the battle is in his hands."

"If they reach the foot of Konoha Village, he'll have nowhere to hide," Yura said. "His only option is to fight to the death."

If it weren't for the fact that the Second Tsuchikage, Mu, and the Second Mizukage, Gengetsu, met as enemies and started fighting each other out of intense hatred, then...

The three families of Earth, Thunder, and Earth reached the edge of Konoha Village.

"No one can predict the future," Mito asked. "Right now, what should we do about Kumogakure's focus on Uzumaki?"

"Since Konoha has a complete set of sealing techniques, we can't let them have a technological advantage," Jieluo said. "Have your grandfather find a way to secretly pass the sealing techniques to Kumogakure."

Mito nodded.

"The preliminary preparations for our entertainment complex are about to begin," Jieluo said.

Jieluo was about to begin harvesting a large amount of negative emotions, and then she looked at her little gold mine of negative emotions, Lucy.

"Don't be angry, I'll give you a red envelope."

Lucy immediately beamed with joy.
