From Hokage to Visionary

After these words were spoken, anger appeared on the faces of the other people.

Since they became the Seven Ninja Swordsmen, no one has dared to look down on them like this for many years!

"Asshole, how dare you look down on us like that!"

The little ghost with blue hair standing up in a bun had an unpleasant look on his face and gritted his teeth as he said, "When we catch this guy, we'll make him pay!"

"Hiss, hiss, hiss~ Interesting, this guy." The man carrying the broad sword on his back showed a bloodthirsty smile, licked his lips, and a fierce light flashed in his eyes: "It just so happens that my beheading sword is missing a piece of iron, and I need fresh blood to make it recover!"

That guy is so arrogant!

Not only did he kill Ishikawa Takeo, he also stole the Bakuto Feimo, and he even didn't bother to hide his tracks along the way, with his clear target being the Hidden Mist Village.

"Keep chasing."

The man with a ponytail slowly stood up and grinned, "The footprints are still fresh. That guy is not far from us."

The others nodded in agreement, and when they were about to set off, they were stopped by someone who suddenly appeared.

The man was wearing a patterned mask and was a member of an elite assassination tactical team under the command of the Mizukage.

"Anbu people?"

The blue-haired kid with a pigtail frowned, a hint of impatience on his face: "What's the matter? Tell me now!"

The Anbu of the Hidden Mist Village is notorious even within the village. They are responsible for hunting down rebellious ninjas and are like bloodthirsty hyenas that will never let go once they bite their prey. Their internal methods are even more cruel and harsh, and they implement the confidentiality policy of the first Mizukage.

Therefore, almost no one likes the Anbu, after all, these guys are too annoying.

"On the orders of the Mizukage, convey the mission."

The ANBU said indifferently, throwing a scroll over. "The double-sword flounder · Onibei, the long sword sewing needle · Shishido, and the blunt sword Kabuki · Asakawa Ryo, will be responsible for continuing to hunt down the invaders. The remaining ninja swords, Xiguashan Fuguki, Biwa Juzo, and Kurochu Raiga, will follow me back to the Hidden Mist Village."

"Wait, why did the Mizukage suddenly ask us to go back?"

Biwa Juzang was the first to express his dissatisfaction, saying angrily: "I finally caught up with him, and now you want me to go back? My beheading sword is thirsty for blood!"

Not only him, but also Kibei was dissatisfied.

The Onibei with his blue hair in a bun looked coldly at the Anbu: "Is this the Mizukage's intention, or the intention of those old guys?"

"Master Kibei, please obey my orders."

The Anbu didn't answer directly, but emphasized the word "command": "There are more important things in the village."

After a moment of silence, the Ghost Guard had to swallow his anger and said with a bad look in his eyes: "Okay, we will obey your orders."

The Anbu remained calm as he handed over a blood-stained scroll and said, "This is the information about the invaders that Ishikawa Takeo passed on before he died."

"Konoha. Uchiha Munetsuki. The dead man in the east mentioned him."

The Onibei narrowed his eyes, scanned the scroll, and sneered: "I see, it seems that those guys in Konoha have already noticed our actions."

"Tsk, I'll leave that guy to you, Onibei."

Biwa Juuzou suppressed his dissatisfaction and crossed his arms over his chest.

After saying that, Xiguashan Puffer Demon, Biwa Juuzou, and Hei Chue Raiga followed the Anbu and disappeared in an instant.

The three people who stayed behind, Kidei, Shishido and Asakawa Ryo, were responsible for continuing to track Uchiha Munezuki.

And at this time.

Uchiha Sogetsu finally arrived at a village. Although it was not the Hidden Mist Village yet, it was quite close.

Thanks to the policies of the first Mizukage, and the remote location and scarce resources, the status of civilians was extremely low, and all daily necessities were supplied to the ninjas, leaving only what was necessary to sustain life.

Most people stay like this their whole lives, with a miserable look on their faces and empty eyes, like a walking corpse, without any hope in sight.

"Well……"

Uchiha Munetsuki stroked his chin and said, "It seems that we don't even need to use psychology to become invisible. These people don't care at all."

There seemed to be no hope for the future on everyone's face. It was as if the soul had died long ago, leaving behind an empty shell that slowly rotted and stank in the world.

Witnessing this scene.

Deep down in his heart, Uchiha Sogetsu became more and more certain of his idea that a world dominated by ninjas... was wrong.

And mistakes need to be corrected!

With his thoughts in flux, he walked down a street and unknowingly stopped in front of a drugstore.

"arrive."

Looking up at the pharmacy, Uchiha Sogetsu walked straight in.

The furnishings in the drugstore were quite simple, and even moldy and damaged in many places. There was only one figure busy working beside the medicine cabinet.

Uchiha Sogetsu was not in a hurry. He walked in slowly, looked around casually, then found a chair to sit down, put one hand on the side of his face, and looked at the busy figure with a smile.

half an hour.

As if everything was finally tidy, the figure wiped the sweat off his face, breathed a sigh of relief, and then slowly turned around.

She was a woman, probably in her twenties, with a gentle temperament, brown shoulder-length hair, and a pair of round-framed glasses on her face. There was always a faint smile on the corner of her lips, exuding a friendly aura.

The woman turned around and her pupils suddenly shrank.

In her own pharmacy, she didn't know when a man was sitting there, looking at her with a smile on his face. Her heart almost stopped and she almost screamed out of fright.

"You...who are you?!"

Suppressing her shock, the woman revealed a look of fear and tremblingly said, "Please... please don't kill me... I have nothing... If you want money, I can give it all to you."

Hearing this, Uchiha Sogetsu smiled, and said with a hint of evil humor: "I don't want anything... I only want you, Yakushi Nono!"

exposed!

This was the first thought that came to Pharmacist Nono's mind, and then in less than a second, she made an instant decision!

I can't die here...

Konoha and those children are waiting for her to return!

Swish! ! !

The shuriken flew through the air in an instant.

The woman who looked so delicate and soft just now, now rushed forward like a cheetah with murderous intent!

The next moment, Yakushi Nono was fixed in place.

Her eyes were wide open with an expression of disbelief, and she stared at the man in shock, just because of those blood-red eyes.

"Write...Sharingan!"

Yakushi Nono opened his mouth slightly, as if he had just reacted.

"You've been recruited, Yakushi Nono."

Uchiha Sogetsu's eyes narrowed slightly, with a smile on the corner of his lips.

I give up...it's been censored again. My chapters have been censored a lot these days, and I haven't written anything excessive

Chapter 87 Equivalent Exchange

"evidence."

Even though I saw the Sharingan, I was already 70% sure about it.

But for the sake of safety, Yakushi Nono did not believe it blindly, and remained vigilant: "I need to see Danzo's secret code!"

She is a spy belonging to the Root, so she must see the code before she can be sure.

"Is this okay?"

Uchiha Sogetsu took out the scroll from his arms and threw it over.

As the scroll was opened, a special pattern came into view. Pharmacist Nono's eyes trembled slightly, and his silver teeth subconsciously bit his lips.

"I am the Wandering Witch, paying my respects to Lord Xiao!"

At this point, Yakushi Nono was able to confirm that the Uchiha in front of him, codenamed "Owl", was sent by Danzo.

The meaning of a spy who has been lurking in another country for many years being awakened again upon receiving an order is self-evident.

During the years in the Hidden Mist Village, she was always awakened by the same nightmare in the middle of the night.

In her dream, she was awakened by an order from Konoha to carry out an extremely dangerous mission.

She failed in her mission and fell in a pool of blood.

Those children far away in Konoha will never wait for her to return.

But when the situation in the dream really appeared before his eyes, Yakushi Nono felt his heart tremble with those words.

Complex emotions, mixed with a hint of resentment, made her want to refuse.

But when the words came to his lips, he swallowed them back.

As a spy ninja, if she refused orders, the only consequence that would await her would be elimination.

Not only that, if she refused the mission, the children in the orphanage who remained in Konoha Village would also be killed by Danzo.

"Yes, sir."

Pharmacist Nono lowered his head, his red eyes trying hard to hold back the sad tears from falling.

"From your look, you don't seem to be willing." Uchiha Sogetsu sat on the chair, looking at her with interest, and said in a light tone: "Yakushi Nono, I heard about you from Danzo. You served as the director of an orphanage and took care of many children, right?"

Every hidden spy will have detailed information recorded.

Including his life, his expertise in ninjutsu, character weaknesses, etc., making it easier for those in power to control him.

And Yakushi Nono's weakness is the group of orphans she adopted.

Danzo aimed at this point and used the money he provided to the orphans as a threat to force Yakushi Nono to carry out a spy mission.

"Yes, sir."

Pharmacist Nono replied numbly: "Excuse me, how can I cooperate with you?"

"Not urgent."

Uchiha Sogetsu waved his hand and asked again: "I heard that you like those children very much. Can you tell me why?"

"Is this related to the mission?"

Pharmacist Nono frowned and was not very willing to answer this question.

"It has nothing to do with the mission."

Uchiha Sogetsu smiled faintly and said, "But I want to know, can I?"

Looking at the annoying guy in front of him, a trace of annoyance flashed in the eyes of Yakushi Nono. Although he was not very willing in his heart, he still took a deep breath and said, "I like children very much. My parents died in the war. I want to do my best to protect those children who became orphans because of the war. Is this okay, sir?"

When she said the last two words, she deliberately emphasized her tone to express her dissatisfaction.

"I asked you if you wanted to escape Danzo's control?"

Uchiha Sogetsu didn't care about her tone. He sat relaxed on the chair with his right hand resting on the side of his face.

"what?"

Pharmacist Nono was slightly stunned, as if he had not yet reacted.

"I'm asking you, do you want to break free from Danzo's control?"

Uchiha Sogetsu patiently repeated it again with a gentle look, not showing any impatience at all.

"I"

Yakushi Nono's eyes lit up and his heart was moved.

But soon, reason overwhelmed the throbbing, and she immediately stopped her, fell to her knees with a thud, and hit her head heavily on the ground.

Yakushi Nono's forehead was covered with sweat. He bit his lips tightly and shook his head vigorously. He said with a trembling voice, "No, please believe me, I absolutely do not intend to betray Master Danzo. Please do not hurt those children!"

In an instant, she thought of many possibilities.

But the most likely scenario is that Danzo sent people to test whether he could still maintain his will.

As a spy lurking in another country, once she loses her firm will, given Danzo's character, he will kill her without hesitation.
