Naruto: The Progenitor of Demons Starting from Kirigakure

Chapter 83 The Seven Ninja Swordsmen

There are very few intelligent people in the Kaguya clan. Every single one of them is a warlike madman. If it weren't for Nakamaro using his authority as clan leader to keep them in check, the Kaguya clan, which was allied with the Hyuga clan, would have neither left the Ninja World nor joined Konoha long ago.

The number one troublemaker in Konoha wouldn't be the Uchiha.

They actually wanted to join the village and were eager to fight.

"My name is Taketori Gumaro!"

Kneeling on all fours, Gumaro kowtowed heavily.

As soon as he finished speaking, a group of Kaguya ninja behind Gumaro knelt down in unison, banging their heads on the ground.

It's unclear who it was, but a Kirigakure ninja knelt down on one knee before Yura, bowing his head in submission. One after another, they knelt down, their eyes fixed on Yura with fervent eyes.

Under the cover of night, crimson eyes swept over the kneeling crowd, while the bright white moon hung high in the sky behind them.

Jieluo didn't care who knelt, but she could see clearly who didn't.

Faced with the gaze of those scarlet eyes, locked with killing intent, a Jonin, his back covered in cold sweat, gritted his teeth, slowly knelt down, and bowed his head.

Jie Luo smiled faintly.

A great demon should have many minions under his command.

"Back to the village!"

That night, Yura returned to Kirigakure with the Kaguya clan and went straight to the Mizukage's office to report on the mission.

Sitting behind her desk, listening to Jie Luo's brief report, Bai Lian smoked a cigarette, keeping watch with one eye and keeping watch with the other.

"That's how it happened. I went there, killed their chieftain, and brought the rest of them back."

Upon hearing this, Hozuki Gengetsu, who was leaning against the window, raised an eyebrow.

He had fought against Nakamaro before. The latter could not break his illusion and posed no effective threat to him. However, he could not kill the former by blowing him up either. Not to mention that the explosive power could not keep up with the former's movements, even if it exploded, it would be difficult to cause effective damage, and the battle would be deadlocked.

He looked up at Yura and the Jonin who were on the same mission behind her.

The current positioning, with Jieluo at the head, is quite delicate.

Did she really establish her prestige in the village so quickly with just one mission?

He is indeed a formidable opponent.

He squinted his eyes and silently watched this scene.

Byakuren puffed on his cigarette, looking at the report in his hand. He was surprised that they hadn't used a Jinchuriki. That Nakamaro shouldn't be a man who could be defeated so easily. After all, he was a man who had survived under Madara Uchiha. That brat from the Land of Earth, Mu, had supposedly slunk away in front of Madara. But looking at Yura, who was completely unharmed and even led the team back that day, Byakuren exhaled a puff of smoke and said, "Mission accomplished. Take a good rest for now."

Normally, ninjas take a period of leave when they go on missions.

"Is it time to rest now, old man?" Jie Luo said with a light smile. "There's still a lot to do at home, isn't there?"

Kinu Island was brought under the control of Kirigakure, but there are still nine smaller islands, and the ninja clans on those islands are no pushovers.

Bai Lian looked at Jie Luo, whose eyes spoke volumes about her youthful desire to achieve great deeds.

"A very good fighter," Bai Lian thought, wanting to dance. She coughed and said, "No rush, Jie Luo. Resting is also part of the battle. When I was young, I worked too hard, and now I have a lot of health problems. If you want to live a long life, you have to pay attention to this."

"I'm still young, so there's no need to worry too much about that." Jielu smiled and looked at Hozuki Gengetsu, saying, "I've heard that the Yuki clan on Yukikaze Island has a strong ability to suppress our Water Release techniques. If you can't handle it, why don't you let me do it? How about it, old man?"

Upon hearing this, Hozuki Gengetsu's expression turned somewhat grim. Under extremely low ice-style temperatures, his vapor explosion technique could not cause the water to boil, as it was frozen solid. Normally, it could not be activated in a short time and required a considerable amount of time to activate. This gap made it easy for the ice-style technique to take advantage of the situation and cause the explosion to fail.

They were beaten so badly they couldn't even muster a tantrum.

"That Snow Princess..." Bai Lian said, "She is indeed quite troublesome. However, if you kill her, there will be no room for reconciliation with the Snow Clan."

"Old man, not everyone is a bamboo cutter," Jieluo said. "I can tell what can be cut and what cannot be cut."

Upon hearing this, the Jonin behind Yura, who had been slashed by Yura and whose chest was bandaged, twitched his eyelids.

Bai Lian looked at Huan Yue. Huan Yue was in charge of the Snow Clan and had been researching ways to counter the Water Release technique using Ice Release.

Leaning back in her chair, Bai Lian said, "Huan Yue, what are your thoughts?"

Huan Yue stared intently at Jie Luo.

The old man had already spoken up, indicating he was somewhat dissatisfied with the progress.

"You little dwarf, if you're so capable, you do it!" Huan Yue said coldly.

Over the course of a month, Huan Yue and Jie Luo met quite a few times. The two were clearly rivals, and with the addition of a squinty-eyed person stirring things up, it was hard for them not to clash. It was common knowledge in the village that the two would become bitter enemies after only a few words.

Anyone with eyes can see what's going on.

Jie Luo smiled and said, "You're quite generous, aren't you? Well then, I'll go for it, Little Mustache."

Huan Yue narrowed her eyes, staring dangerously at Jie Luo, and said, "Don't think that Xue Ji is an easy woman to deal with. Do I need to tell you information about that ice block?"

Jielu waved his hand and said, "That won't be necessary. There are plenty of ninjas who know about her. Old man, I'll take on the mission to reclaim Yukikaze Island."

As soon as he finished speaking, the Jonin standing behind Yura all lit up.

Everyone yearns for merit to gain the qualifications for promotion. Although their status is almost at the top, there are still different levels among the Jonin.

"In that case, I'll leave it to you, Jieluo." Bailian nodded and said, "I'll await your good news."

Bai Lian was very satisfied with Jie Luo's work attitude and enthusiasm.

"Understood." After nodding, Jieluo seemed to suddenly remember something and said, "Old man, you have seven special ninja swords, right?"

Bai Lian was taken aback by his words and said, "What's the problem? Do you want it?"

After becoming the Shadow, he discovered one thing: he was always busy with work and had almost no time to fight personally. He probably would never be able to use those seven swords again.

"Do you have seven arms?" Jieluo asked. "Seven-Sword Style?"

Are you trying to gather information about me?

Bai Lian chuckled, saying that these were now useless, and said, "There's no need for such trouble; it's just my water clone technique."

"Ordinary water clones?" Jie Luo asked, glancing at Huan Yue. If it were a clone like the Steaming Explosion, the danger level would increase dramatically with multiple clones.

"Ordinary water clones are just on the vast ocean, where water is never scarce, and I am also quite skilled in naval warfare." Bai Lian revealed a hint of reminiscence and smiled, "You're not just trying to gather information by suddenly bringing this up, are you? Just say what you want, Jie Luo girl."

The old man had a roguish air about him, which made him quite straightforward.

Jieluo nodded and said without further ado, "Old man, since we won't need it anymore, would you be interested in using the village's elite Jonin to form the strongest Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, distinct from the other ordinary Jonin?"

Upon hearing this, everyone in the room focused their attention.

Bai Lian's eyes showed deep thought.

"Old man, he will be the sharpest sword among all the Shadows of the past." Jie Luo smiled faintly.

Bai Lian looked up at Jie Luo and said in a deep voice, "Jie Luo, what are your thoughts? Tell me in detail."
