Immortality begins with the ninjas of Konoha

As Shizune spoke, her voice grew softer and softer. The girl's face turned bright red, and she was quickly flicked on the forehead. Instinctively, she covered her forehead and looked at Furukawa Osamu:

"Maybe next time, Shizune. Lord Orochimaru has some work to do recently."

"Remember to take good care of yourself and get enough rest every day."

After hearing the instructions, Shizune nodded vigorously, trying to calm her turbulent emotions. She leaned against Furukawa Osamu's chest, a look of happiness on her face.

A small silver snake silently appeared between the two, its head pointing at Shizune's heart and flicking its tongue.

Furukawa Osamu pulled the small snake back to his waist, and after it transformed into a chakra dagger, the snake's head quickly reappeared.

"Inorganic rebirth is so difficult to control? Has the spirit caused the magic to mutate?"

Furukawa Osamu looked thoughtful, immersed in his new Sage Mode training. He had no time to pay attention to anything else; the magical chakra made him even more obsessed.

With only one day left until the New Year, Kirigakure is becoming increasingly turbulent. Obito Uchiha's killing spree has attracted the attention of the Kirigakure ninja, who have been hunting down the group ever since.

After arriving at a secluded base, Obito ignored Nagato and Konan's surprised looks and suddenly disappeared into the vortex.

After arriving in his own private space, Obito walked to "Rin Nohara's Tombstone" and sat down cross-legged.

Recently, Obito has been hearing more and more news about Konoha, and his feelings are complicated. The thought of disrupting the peaceful life of the Konoha ninjas makes his good intentions waver.

Clutching his long hair in anguish, Obito took deep breaths, recalling the moment the girl's heart was pierced and Kakashi was cut down by the Hidden Mist ninja. His eyes turned cold again.

"Lin, wait for me. This hellish world must end!"

When Obito reappeared before Nagato and Konan, he had returned to his usual self, looked at the two, and gave orders in Madara Uchiha's tone:

"For the New Year, we'll give the Hidden Mist ninja a gift: the Blood Mist will return once more!"

"The Hidden Mist Village will become the Akatsuki's reserve force. The so-called Mizukage will have no ability to resist the power of a god."

Nagato looked thoughtful and nodded in agreement. Konan always felt that this Uchiha Madara was a bit strange, but she also responded.

Osamu Furukawa's spirit sensed Obito's struggle; it seemed that Obito's mindset had changed after seeing Orochimaru break free of the cursed seal.

Regardless of whether Obito changed his mind, Furukawa Osamu didn't care. What he needed was for the blood mist to return, so he immediately notified Mei Terumi.

Mei Terumi, basking in the admiring gazes of the crowd after leaving the Mizukage Building, was about to slow down and savor the moment a little longer when Osamu Furukawa's spirit commanded:

"The New Year's carnage is about to begin. Be prepared, and don't let me down!"

"That jerk! Can't you say something sweet for the New Year? We've been completely honest with each other every night..."

Ignoring the girl's erratic behavior in the mental world, Furukawa Osamu's spirit was still silently calculating that if the killing continued for a few years, he should be able to rapidly improve again after his spirit returned:

"Strive to take the art of magic to the next level."

Chapter 149 The Blood Mist Reopens

On January 1st, Konoha Year 51, the first day of the new year, Kirigakure gave the ninja world a huge surprise:

"With the return of the Blood Mist policy, the Hidden Mist Ninja will continue to adhere to the elite path."

The Fourth Mizukage, Yagura Karatachi, who had been in office for less than a year, surprisingly overturned his own policies, causing Kirigakure to return to its "old ways," leaving the people of the Land of Water dumbfounded.

This internal struggle between the left and right hemispheres has left the Konoha ninja bewildered. They were constantly worried that the Hidden Mist ninja would seek revenge and launch a war, but now the other side is embroiled in internal strife.

Even though the enemy who killed the Third Mizukage was in Konoha, Kirigakure consistently turned a blind eye, a strange situation that even led many Konoha ninja to have misconceptions.

"Could it be the protection of the Sage of Six Paths?"

There seems to be no need to be wary of the Hidden Mist Ninja for the time being. The Konoha ninja are very satisfied with their "New Year's gift"—they won again on the first day of the new year!

-

Within Kirigakure, many ninjas personally visited the high-ranking elders, but Master Genji had no objection to the restoration of the Blood Mist policy.

Yagura Karatachi was a reformist before, but now, less than a year after becoming the Mizukage, he has "revealed his true colors," and his subordinates are more miserable than if they had eaten shit.

Zabuza Momochi stood outside the Mizukage Building, looking expectantly at his seniors, only to have them all shake their heads. Seeing this, the boy clenched his fist in anger and shouted:

"He deceived us! Damn it, it's not even been a year, the new students are graduating in March, and we're already killing each other?"

Where are those promises you made?

"Nothing has changed. Those ninja swordsmen only care about themselves and don't care about their comrades in the village at all."

"Why aren't the elders involved in this? Aren't they responsible for most of the village's work?"

The boy, whose face was half-covered in bandages, angrily removed the covering from his face; he could not accept this blatant deception.

None of the Jonin were able to answer Zabuza's question.

As the fog enveloped the village once more, everyone vanished without a trace. They were just ordinary ninjas; how could they possibly resist the Mizukage?

A distraught Zabuza knelt alone on the ground, once again returning to his hellish world.

In the distance, Mei Terumi, wearing a mask, witnessed everything. The girl stared at Zabuza the Demon Blade for a long while, then finally let out a sneer:

"Their ugly behavior, in the end they were completely fooled and could only wallow in self-pity."

"This village is beyond saving. No one even questions that the Mizukage is being controlled. The Blood Mist policy has turned these people into mere tools."

Mei Terumi's spiritual form resentfully complained.

She had always doubted Furukawa Osamu's words, but when the prophecy came true, she felt an indescribable sense of humiliation.

The so-called Mizukage was utterly defeated in front of the enemy. Although she was unsure whether a battle had taken place, the fact that she, as the strongest fighter in Kirigakure, couldn't even die in battle made her increasingly distressed.

The education she had received since childhood completely collapsed at this moment; she would not serve such an incompetent water shadow.

"There's no need to blame Yagura Karatachi. Faced with that kind of 'legendary power,' ordinary ninjas really have no chance of resisting."

"This is not a situation that can be changed by determination or will; the Mangekyou Sharingan has the ability to distort reality."

"What you need to do is accumulate strength and pay attention to who is loyal to the village, so that you can promote and give them important positions after you gain power."

"There aren't many ninjas who can maintain their integrity in this environment. For Kirigakure, this is also a chance for a new beginning."

Osamu Furukawa's spirit gently comforted her, and Mei Terumi nodded slightly. She no longer questioned him, and at the same time, she became increasingly interested in leading the village.

"You'll always stay by my side and help me, right?"

"Incompetent daimyo, corrupt village, all of this should end. They should go to hell to repent with that ugly image!"

After complaining bitterly, Mei Terumi quickly left, wanting to change everything.

Late at night, in a corner under the bridge, Kisame sat on the riverbank looking dejected.

Although he disliked the Fourth Mizukage's "youthful appearance," he had shown great respect for this reform-minded leader over the past few months.

Looking back now, Kisame feels like a clown, betraying his superior because he admired the hero Mizukage, only to now suffer a double "betrayal"...

"Ugly guy, it's time to face reality!"

"As the Mizukage of one of the five great ninja villages, he can't even protect himself. This kind of idiot should die sooner!"

"The Seven Ninja Swordsmen are just a bunch of idiots. Now that the Blood Mist policy has returned, we can be considered to be following the Mizukage's instructions."

Mei Terumi, wearing a mask, suddenly appeared from the ground. Kisame remained silent after hearing these words, only responding softly as the girl prepared to turn and leave:

"And what can you change?"

"Even if you kill them, that power might still be able to control you."

"It's just that the Blood Mist policy has returned, but we are still Hidden Mist Ninja, and we will continue to live loyally to the village."

As soon as Kisame finished speaking, a stream of acid rushed towards him. He hurriedly dodged, only to find that the acid seemed to be alive, surging wildly towards him.

"what!"

The acid on the ground suddenly transformed into a giant hand that grabbed his ankle, and Kisame screamed as he was engulfed by the acid.

Fortunately, he was eventually flung into the water by the giant hand. By then, most of the riverbank had been swallowed by the acid, which saved his life.

Mei Terumi stared at Kisame, who lay motionless on the shore, and seeing that he was lying there, she immediately jumped into the water and quickly glided to the other side. Then she slowly walked to the coward's side.

"You have no right to refuse."

"As for what I will do, it's none of your business, you ugly thing, to tell me what to do!"

"After killing that fatso, I'll kill all those idiot ninja swordsmen. Maybe that puppet Mizukage will even promote me to head of the Anbu."

Kisame heard the girl's hysterical laughter, then felt something deep inside his heart. Before he could respond, a sharp pain shot through his chest, forcing him to scream again.

"Ah! You...you're a madman..."

"We're sending that fat guy to his death this weekend. If you don't come, you'll all die together!"

Kisame, covered in wounds, gasped for breath and struggled to sit up, but Mei Terumi had already vanished.

He lay down on the ground again, looking at the night sky obscured by mist, his eyes slightly moist.

Why did the village become like this?

Four days after Kirigakure announced the return of the Blood Mist policy, Suigetsu Hozuki, one of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, suddenly died.

Not only did he die a horrific death, but his subordinates were also wiped out. This insane slaughter shocked the entire village. However, the Fourth Mizukage then issued an even more outrageous order:

"The Watermelon Pufferfish Demon colluded with the Cloud Village ninja and betrayed the village, and was punished."

Kirigakure is once again plunged into chaos, with comrades who hate each other beginning a new round of fighting, and death engulfing the entire village. And this is only the beginning.

Obito Uchiha took a deep breath as he openly appeared inside the Mizukage Building; the stench of blood could be faintly smelled throughout the central building.

If there was any hesitation before, the overwhelming pleasure after avenging Rin Nohara made Obito addicted to it.

"Rin, did you see that? This is what happens when the Hidden Mist ninja hurt you!"

"I want to watch them kill each other, to make them experience the pain of seeing their friends die before their eyes..."

Yagura sat quietly behind his desk like a living dead. After Obito finished speaking, he glanced at the puppet, chuckled, and disappeared into the vortex again.

In a secret outpost not far from Kirigakure, Nagato and Konan immediately took a step back when Obito suddenly appeared.

The fact that the Mizukage was subdued in a single encounter was terrifying, making the two even more wary of Uchiha Madara.

"Rain Village, prepare to take over the mission!"

"I always keep my word. In the future, the Land of Water will become the source of nourishment for the Akatsuki. With the support of major powers, the plan will be implemented smoothly very soon."

"Get ready and continue to practice the Six Paths Technique. Konoha is experiencing a baby boom, and the opportunity we've been waiting for may be coming soon!"

After Obito finished speaking in a cold tone, he disappeared again. Nagato frowned slightly, while Konan, standing beside him, looked at her friend with a pained expression and whispered a reminder:

"Nagato, are you really going to carry out the plan?"

"Those young people and children are innocent; what we went through back then should not be repeated..."

After a long silence, Nagato turned her back and whispered in response:

Only by experiencing the same pain can we understand each other!

"By making them feel despair amidst hope, I will make them experience Yahiko's pain."

Konan's face fell when she heard Yahiko's name; perhaps a world of mutual understanding simply doesn't exist.

As the Sage Chakra of Furukawa Shu's spirit body slowly spread through his meridians, a thought inexplicably arose in Konan's mind, and she subconsciously suggested:

"Nagato, I'll help you improve those puppets when we get back!"

"Since we've chosen remote control, we must be prepared to sacrifice all the puppets..."

Nagato agreed without any hesitation, then looked apologetic, patted his friend's shoulder, and left with his head down.

Xiao Nan finally came to her senses. The turmoil she had just felt vanished. The girl subconsciously touched her face and murmured to herself:

"What...what's wrong with me? Why did I abandon Yahiko's wishes..."

-

In mid-January, as news of the internal strife in Kirigakure continued to spread, the Konoha ninjas cherished their current happy and peaceful lives even more.

In the evening, Kakashi came to pick up Nohara Rin as usual. Puck, who was lying lazily beside him, suddenly trembled and a look of fear appeared on his dog face.

"Long time no see, Xiu!"

"Parker, what's with that expression?!"

Were you sleeping in and slacking off again?

Kakashi, who was leaning against the gate, greeted them and then bent down to pick up the dog. He had long disliked this sycophant, who only knew how to tattle to Nohara Rin.
