They're promoting the "Konoha threat" theory, and spouting nonsense about the Hidden

Chapter 241 Ninja World Merchants Association

Such a massive typhoon occurred in this indoor venue, and even though the ninja arena, which resembled a Roman colosseum, was already quite large, it inevitably caused harm to the dignitaries who were already immersed in the Blood Dragon Eye illusion.

呲~

Just as the typhoon approached the dignitaries in the stands, the originally invisible and colorless typhoon seemed to be suddenly stained with a layer of paint, instantly becoming covered in a layer of blood.

The enormous blood-red tornado spun and, aided by the continuous gusts of wind from all around, rapidly hurtled towards the group of people standing in place.

"Damn it... With this kind of skill, why don't you go out and join a ninja village or become a bounty hunter to make a name for yourself, instead of staying here as a gladiator for people to watch and have fun?"

Upon witnessing the power of the crimson typhoon and sensing the immense chakra of the unknown bloodline limit ninja, Ran of the Red-Eyed Clan couldn't help but swallow hard, whether to encourage herself or to complain, she said this.

The Red-Eyed Clan has now been a member of Kirigakure for nearly three years. In these three years, he is no longer the wandering ninja who used to live as a servant.

Thanks to Hozuki Shingetsu's significant investment in education, he also gained a systematic understanding of ninja-related knowledge.

In his view, with the current power of this ninja, even if it cannot compare to a few elites from Kirigakure such as Yagura Karatachi and Muneto Uzumaki, it is enough to become the leader of a small ninja village or the head of a department in a large ninja village.

He simply couldn't understand why a master of this caliber would stoop to becoming a gladiator.

"Blood Dragon Eye!"

Because of his insufficient combat strength, Lan had no choice but to let his mind wander in this situation. However, not everyone was like him and gave up resisting.

Blood Pool Flame opened its eyes wide, unleashing the full power of its Blood Dragon Eye, attempting to hypnotize it.

Under this intense pressure, a long stream of bloody tears involuntarily flowed from his eyes.

Unfortunately, this illusion technique seems to have no effect on those who possess the Tai E technique.

The blood-red tornado, stained with human blood, blocked their view, preventing Blood Pool Flame from releasing illusions through the Blood Dragon Eye.

Just as the giant blood-red tornado was about to approach the group, fortunately, the other Mist Ninjas who had scattered to search for Bloodline Ninjas finally heard the commotion and rushed back to the scene.

"Long Sword Ninja Art: Earth Spider Sewing!"

"Exploding Blade Ninja Art: Hair-Piercing Strangulation Death!"

"Lightning Release: Lightning Dragon Tornado!"

"A blunt knife, used for a slashing cut!"

With the combined efforts of the four ninja swordsmen, the blood-red tornado that had almost taken over the entire fighting arena finally succumbed to its weight and dispersed.

"I've never seen such a bloodline limit before... If Lord Crescent Moon knew about it, she would definitely praise us highly."

Raiga Kurosuki emerged from the dark passage, holding the Raito Kiba in both hands, and looked excitedly at the Taijutsu ninja over there.

Seeing the struggling Sushiyama Fuguki trying to get up, Raiga Kurosuki knew that this kid was no pushover. In fact, if the four of them hadn't joined forces, he probably would have been killed instantly if he had rushed up.

However, with so many people here, especially with Uzumaki Sojin, an elite member of the Uzumaki clan, and given the code of honor for fighting side-by-side, this ninja has no way of escaping.

That's why Raiga Kurosuki started imagining what kind of praise Hozuki Shingetsu would receive after he found out that he and his companions had discovered a powerful ninja they had never seen before.

"This is... a ninja sword? You're from Kirigakure?"

At this moment, the people on the other side finally recognized the origins of the group by the distinctive ninja swords in their hands.

Upon seeing this, everyone immediately stopped trying to hide their transformations and reverted to their original forms.

The original reason for using this transformation technique and fake headband was to avoid making things public, to create ambiguity and achieve a muddled effect.

Everyone present is either turned into mincemeat, controlled by the Blood Dragon Eye Illusion, or captured by Kirigakure. The only person who can move freely now is this guy on the other side, so this disguise is meaningless now.

"Ahem... Kid, you're really quite good... How about it? Want to join our Hidden Mist Village? Although the village doesn't have a precedent for recruiting high-ranking ninjas from outside, I think with your talent, Lord Shingetsu will definitely be willing to make an exception for you."

"Coming to Kirigakure, even starting as a Chunin is better than being a ninja gladiator here, being a monkey for people's amusement in this dark and gloomy place."

Watermelon Pufferfish coughed twice, struggled to get up from the ground, and extended an olive branch to the boy in the distance who looked no more than sixteen or seventeen years old.

Suigetsu Hozuki is a typical bully who preys on the weak. So when he saw that the boy in front of him was stronger than himself, he quickly forgot his previous idea of ​​killing everyone and instead started recruiting Hozuki Shingetsu.

Moreover, this would greatly conceal his current disheveled appearance.

As the candidate who climbed to the position of head of the Hidden Mist Village's Anbu in the original work, he was certainly not a brainless murderer.

Upon hearing what Suigetsu Hobutsuki said, the tense atmosphere immediately eased.

The others naturally knew why Hozuki Shingetsu had asked them to come here, and they also knew that given Hozuki Shingetsu's personality, if she really took a liking to him, she wouldn't care about his past identity.

Although the group could subdue him by working together, it was ultimately not as effective as the other party bowing down in submission.

However, to everyone's surprise, after hearing that they came from Kirigakure, the boy's attitude not only did not improve at all, but became even more crazy.

"The Hidden Mist Village... all the people of the Land of Water deserve to die!"

"Taiwan Escape - Strong Wind Rises!"

As he clasped his hands together, fueled by his immense chakra, the winds across the entire island seemed to be drawn to him, continuously converging towards him.

Amidst the howling winds, the entire ninja arena could barely withstand the turbulent airflow and began to shake.

"I see. The characteristic of Terrain Release compared to Wind Release lies in its exaggerated ability to guide natural wind forces. That's why you were able to unleash such an amazing typhoon on this small island deep in the ocean... However, the flaws are too obvious!"

Just as the young man with the escape device was about to push the giant tornado forward with both hands, a calm voice rang out.

Uzumaki Munen, who had disappeared after entering the ninja arena, reappeared in the arena.

However, he appeared not in front of the typhoon, but directly above the escaped boy, at the eye of the typhoon!

Since it's called "Taiwan Escape" and the moves it uses are so obviously typhoon-shaped, anyone who has read a few more books can easily associate it with the "eye of the typhoon"!

Uzumaki Sōjin had already arrived at this place, but only after confirming his conjecture did he step forward and secure the victory!

"Five Elements Seal!"

The Uzumaki clan leader descended from the sky, extending one hand high and using the Body Flicker Technique to appear in front of the platform-escape boy.

Five colors flashed continuously in his hand, and in the moment of the opponent's astonishment, he slapped the opponent hard in the lower abdomen, leaving a dazzling seal with five-colored light that kept rotating.

"Well……"

The boy who had escaped from the platform let out a muffled groan as he was sent flying backward by the powerful blow.

boom!

A deafening roar erupted as the boy was completely "submerged" into the wall of the stands, shattering the entire area.

At the same time, the giant typhoon tornado lost control and wobbled away in mid-air.

"Lord Zongren!"

Upon seeing this, the others immediately came to the Whirlpool Sect Master and reported their respective situations to him.

"...Well, now that we have all the ninjas, let's not linger here any longer."

Uzumaki Munen glanced at the group of bloodline ninjas lying on the ground not far away and waved his hand dismissively.

With his strength and Uzumaki clan background, these bloodline ninjas were nothing special in his eyes. If it weren't for Hozuki Shingetsu's orders, he wouldn't have come here for these few people.

"The rest of you don't matter, the important thing is that boy. You must bring him before Lord Crescent Moon without any mishaps, understand?"

Uzumaki Muneto pointed to the unconscious Tai-elemental youth lying in the ruins of the wall and gave instructions to his subordinates.

"...Well, never mind, just to be on the safe side, let's break his limbs first! With Shennong around, these minor injuries are easy to treat."

After arranging the transportation of these bloodline ninjas, Uzumaki Munen's gaze once again fell upon Blood Pond Flame.

"Then it's your turn to work... Don't disappoint Lady Crescent!"

"Don't worry, I guarantee I'll complete the mission!"

A glint flashed in Blood Pool Flame's eyes, hidden behind square sunglasses, as he spoke with a relaxed and carefree tone.

"Very well... Well then, it's up to you now!"

After finishing his instructions, the whirlpool sect leader didn't waste any time. He immediately led the others, taking the bloodline boars hostage, and left along the same route.

Only Blood Pool Flame remained here, looking at the dilapidated site and the unconscious nobles with a bitter smile.

"Hmm...you've really given me a big task!"

Despite this, a glint of brilliance flashed in Blood Pool Flame's eyes.

"Alright, now it's my turn..."

Blood Pool Flame stood in the center of the abandoned arena, and with the surrounding rubble reflecting off it, he raised his right hand high and snapped his fingers.

Snapped!

The crisp sound echoed continuously in the spacious area, accompanied by invisible sound waves spreading out in layers. The nobles who were trapped in the Blood Dragon Eye illusion gradually opened their eyes and woke up from their dreams one by one with yawns.

"Huh? What's wrong with me?"

"What just happened? I only saw the fog suddenly billow, and then a red light appeared in the fog, and I could vaguely see a pair of red pupils..."

Many people had just woken up and were not yet aware of their current situation, their minds constantly replaying the events that had occurred before they fell into a coma.

However, it wasn't long before someone noticed the mess at the scene.

"what!"

With a scream, everyone present finally realized what was happening.

"Yamamoto-sama is dead!"

"Lord Oda is dead too!"

……

"Those ninja gladiators have also disappeared. It must have been a scheme orchestrated by those lowly gladiators!"

As everyone continued to observe the scene, they finally noticed Blood Pool Flame standing in the center of the abandoned martial arts arena, and whispers gradually began to rise.

Blood Pool Flame coughed lightly and began his performance.

"Gentlemen, we have been attacked by Konoha!"

After uttering that striking first sentence, he immediately began to use rhetoric to guide the thinking of everyone present.

"To be able to find our location in the vast ocean and successfully raid in under everyone's protection, it must be a force at the level of the Five Great Ninja Villages."

Blood Pond Flame set the tone first, "Just now, everyone saw that bright red light in the mist. To be honest, that was actually the Sharingan emanating from the Uchiha clan of Konoha!"

"It was precisely because of the Sharingan that everyone fell into a coma so quickly!"

These words immediately sparked a flurry of discussion.

Compared to the Blood Dragon Eye, the Uchiha clan is clearly more famous, especially now that the "Uchiha International Arbitration Case" is making headlines. Those present have naturally heard of the Uchiha's name and know about the Sharingan.

"As everyone knows, the Sharingan is the master of genjutsu, and my sunglasses are made of a special material. In addition, I was looking down at the time, so I was not controlled by genjutsu and could clearly see their appearance."

Blood Pool Flame casually explained why he knew so much.

"Konoha... I heard that 'Dark Ninja' Shimura Danzo has just taken over. This really does seem like something he would do."

"But weren't the Uchiha clan causing quite a stir with Konoha? Why are they here?"

"Are you stupid? Isn't that just a way to distract us and make us think they didn't do it?"

"..."

Clearly, after being provoked by Blood Pool Flame, and with the slightest effect of Blood Dragon Eye, almost everyone present believed his words.

"I know everyone is dissatisfied with Konoha, especially those who have lost their ninjas and their loved ones... However, Konoha is still the number one ninja village in the ninja world. If we don't unite, it will be difficult to put pressure on Konoha and achieve our demands."

"Each of us here is a prominent figure in our respective countries, yet we still face discrimination and bullying. Why is that?"

"Isn't it just that our forces are scattered across various countries and can't be united?"

Blood Pool Flame pushed up his square sunglasses and said with a smile, "Therefore, I propose that we establish a Ninja World Merchants Association. While seeking justice for everyone, this organization can also unite our scattered forces in various countries. It can not only achieve information sharing and mutual exchange, but also concentrate our strength so that others will no longer dare to underestimate us."

"how?"

Thus, at the suggestion of an unknown merchant named Miyajo En, the Ninja World Merchant Guild was established in this dilapidated ninja arena.

Thanks to this achievement and his formidable strength, Miyajo En also became one of the five giants of the Ninja World Merchant Guild.

-

"Escape to Taiwan?"

In Kirigakure, Hozuki Shingetsu looked at the defiant boy kneeling before him and waved his hand gently.

"Pack him up with the others and send them to the Eastern Continent!"

"Tell Shennong to hurry up and research how to increase the production of those aphrodisiac and labor-aiding drugs; those people over there are waiting to use them!"

"Yes……"

Noticing Uzumaki Munen's hesitant movements, Hozuki Shingetsu pondered for a moment, understood his thoughts, and stood up.

brush!

As he turned around, the Water Shadow God Robe he wore, devoid of any writing, billowed high in the air.

"Muneto, the current international situation and Kirigakure are different from what they were six years ago. Kirigakure is now on the right path and no longer needs to increase its strength at all costs."

Looking out the window at the city that he had brought to its former glory, Hozuki Shingetsu spoke with deep emotion.

Since taking over the ninja village, Kirigakure has undergone tremendous changes compared to before.

The Hidden Mist Village no longer needs to take risky measures; it can now embark on a glorious path.

"Time, oh time..."

As Hozuki Shingetsu reflected on the passage of time, six years passed by in a leisurely manner.
