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

Chapter 78 Black Zetsu: The Sage of Six Paths and the Goddess of the Rabbit?

"How did the battle go?"

"The battle itself... I really didn't see it clearly. I only saw that after the two sides started fighting, Jonin Yanagisawa seemed to want to release a ninjutsu, but he was quickly grabbed by the neck by Jonin Hozuki, who appeared out of nowhere, and then he was slammed into the ground repeatedly while being held by the neck..."

After listening to the reports from the others, everyone present looked at the spiderweb-like ground outside the house that had been blasted out, and then at Hozuki Shingetsu sitting upright inside the hall. Their expressions changed instantly.

If my previous impression of Hozuki Shingetsu was that of a shameless villain, then now he has become a shameless ninja.

Yes, there is respect, but not much.

Hozuki Shingetsu showed no joy at this victory. The Yanagisawa clan had been completely corrupted by the lifestyle of the nobility. Relying on their bloodline limit to protect the daimyo year after year, they only needed to make use of their blood-locking effect, or rather, deal with a few ignorant wandering ninjas. After all, how could a real enemy possibly cross the blockade of Kirigakure to reach the capital?

Therefore, in this situation, the Yanagisawa clan can be said to have the attributes of a Jonin, but lack the combat intelligence that a Jonin should have. Defeating such a ninja would not give him any sense of accomplishment.

Even if it weren't him playing, but Yagura Karatachi or Yukinagi, they would still be able to win this battle.

He was now watching with great interest the Yanagisawa Jonin, whose complexion was gradually turning rosy in the pale green light, surrounded by several Yanagisawa clan ninjas.

"So this is the bloodline limit 'Life Link'... It's actually quite something!"

After all, he knew all too well how heavy the blows he had dealt.

In order to gain sufficient deterrence, he did not choose ninjutsu with insufficient special effects, such as mirages or water cannon techniques, but instead chose to win the battle through visceral punches.

Having fully activated his Water Release chakra mode, his taijutsu attacks should be comparable to Might Guy with both gates open. Normally, such injuries would keep Yanagisawa Jonin in bed for two or three days. However, thanks to the efforts of these Yanagisawa ninjas, who are at most Chunin, he was able to stand up again very quickly, which shows he has some skill.

"Good! I didn't expect that your talent in ninja training is no less than that of Hozuki Gengetsu. You really haven't disappointed me!" Sui Keita looked at Hozuki Shingetsu with a smile, enjoying the endless surprises his adopted son brought him.

He truly hadn't expected that this son he'd casually adopted would possess such strength. Although he didn't understand the power levels among ninjas, he could still discern the age difference between a twelve-year-old and a twenty-something-year-old. He couldn't even defeat someone who had lived a full cycle longer; it was obvious who was stronger, wasn't it?

Most importantly, the stronger Hozuki Shingetsu is, the more valuable his gratitude for being sent to him will be! That's the main reason why he's so happy.

On the other side, Hozuki Shingetsu was also secretly pleased. After all, the fact that Hozuki Gengetsu's name came out of Sui Keita's mouth was enough to prove that the series of fabrications just now had completely moved Sui Keita's heart.

So regardless of whether it's fabricated or not, from this day forward, it is the stark reality! Like the achievements of the daimyo, it is an undeniable part of history!

From this moment on, who would dare say that the Daimyo has a problem with the Hozuki clan?

However, according to the principles of relativity, when some people are happy, others will always be unhappy. The Little Prince, Water-Tooth, stared at Hozuki Crescent's retreating figure, his eyes brimming with hatred.

However, his hatred was almost useless to Hozuki Shingetsu. In his eyes, Mizuto Fumi was already equivalent to a dead man. He was just waiting for the right time to complete his duty and send him to the Pure Land to see the Sage of Six Paths.

"I have received the new moon; truly a gift from heaven!"

Meanwhile, Sui Keita continued to praise Hozuki Shingetsu in order to show off his wisdom and prowess. Just when Hozuki Shingetsu was starting to feel overwhelmed, Sui Keita finally revealed his true intentions.

"Actually, I still have some thoughts about that movie about the Sage of Six Paths that I mentioned before."

Hozuki Shingetsu nodded in understanding. After all, it's normal for the client to make demands. But you can't exactly cramm an actress in here, can you?

Facing Hozuki Shingetsu, Sui Keita, unusually shy, hesitated and said, "Ahem... I think, from the perspective of a movie plot, if there's a male lead, there should also be a female lead, right? Besides, from an artistic point of view, a man's career certainly needs the embellishment of women, and besides, yin cannot exist alone, nor can yang grow alone..."

Hozuki Shingetsu looked at the rambling Mizuki Keita with suspicion, wondering if he really wanted to cast a female lead in the movie? But with his status and position, what woman couldn't he have?

"So, is it possible to give the Sage of Six Paths a romantic storyline? Cough cough, I think... the Goddess of the Rabbit is actually quite good."

6.

What kind of lewd poem did King Zhou write to tease Nuwa?

Seeing the expectant look in Sui Keita's eyes, Hozuki Shingetsu was speechless.

-

Ignoring Shui Jingtai's tribute to King Zhou, Hozuki Shingetsu is more curious about how Black Zetsu will react when he sees this movie.

Who am I? Who is me?

What year is this eve?

Should I call the Goddess of Rabbit Sister or the Sage of Six Paths Father?

Wow~ This kind of thing sounds pretty exciting, so with the idea of ​​just having fun, Hozuki Shingetsu agreed without hesitation.

And so, amidst this joyous scene of fatherly love and filial piety, except for the injured Black Zetsu, the banquet finally came to an end.

At this point, Hozuki Shingetsu had successfully completed all his objectives for this trip. He not only prevented the daimyo from cutting military spending, but also successfully tricked Sui Keita into giving him subsidies and officially obtained the daimyo's title. He even inadvertently laid the groundwork for future turmoil within the Land of Water, becoming an inside agent.

From any perspective, it can be considered a very fruitful outcome.

Over the next few days, under the guidance of Kusaka Masato, Hozuki Shingetsu quietly made initial contact with the eldest prince, Mizuhiko, and finalized the scope and methods of support.

To be honest, this family is quite interesting.

All three father and sons were concerned with saving face. During Hozuki Shingetsu's interactions with Mizuki Masahiko, the eldest prince talked most about things like, "Brothers killing each other, how could it come to this! But for the sake of the world, I can only reluctantly do it," highlighting his pretentious and self-righteous nature.

In response, Hozuki Shingetsu said, "I'm not afraid of your hypocrisy, I'm afraid of your stupidity."

After all, there are too many historical cases of people dying because of the terrible actions of their teammates, so Hozuki Shingetsu was finally relieved to see that Mizuhiko was at least intelligent enough not to deliberately make mistakes.

Thus, five days after entering the capital, Hozuki Shingetsu and his two companions officially embarked on their journey back to Kirigakure.
