Summary:

The Third Ninja World War.

The evildoer Mizunotsuki Yoru from the Hidden Mist Village suddenly appeared, defeated the Golden Flash, killed Shunshin Shisui, overwhelmed the three ninjas, and defeated Konoha!

"In terms of status, I am the head of the Mizunotsuki clan and the head of the Kirigakure Anbu! In terms of merit and contribution, I led Kirigakure to defeat Konoha and gained countless resources and money! Third generation, I think you are getting old and confused. You actually passed the throne to Yagura instead of me?!"

[Late stages of the Third Shinobi World War, starting with Kirigakure, and a Shinigami Zanpakuto with cheat-like abilities]

Chapter 1 Mizunazuki Yoru

"Night, this is a top-secret mission personally signed by Lord Mizukage. You will lead the team to carry it out."

In the Hidden Mist Village of the Land of Water, inside the underground base of the Anbu, an Anbu member wearing an Anbu mask and with long, fluffy, spiky yellow hair walked in.

talking.

He then took out a pitch-black scroll from his pocket and tossed it over.

These specially made mission scrolls are engraved with sealing runes. If not opened correctly, the scroll will self-destruct the moment it is opened to prevent the secret from being leaked.

The boy named Night took the scroll and opened it using a technique unique to the Dark Guard. His brows furrowed immediately beneath his mask.

[The First Captain of the Anbu, Mizuki Yoru, is ordered to infiltrate the Konoha camp, create chaos, sabotage supplies and weapons, and draw the attention of Konoha's main force, while fully assisting the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist in completing their assassination plan. Signed: Third Mizukage, Mission Level: Top Secret.]

This mission is extremely difficult; it could even be considered a death sentence with no chance of survival.

Because what Yoru needs to do is infiltrate the enemy's headquarters and create chaos. Even if this mission is successfully carried out, the enraged Konoha ninja will surely tear all the enemies to shreds!

"I see."

Ye put away the scroll, nodded calmly, and showed no emotion despite the difficulty of the task.

"Your skills are well-suited for this mission, which is why the Third Hokage chose you to lead the team."

The ANBU member with long, spiky, yellow hair spoke calmly: "I also trust you. Once this war is over, you should be able to smoothly take over my position."

"Your ninja sword is not suitable for me, Lord Kushimaru Kurihara."

Not bad.

The person in front of you, wearing a mask, with bandages wrapped around his neck and an afro, is none other than Kushimaru Kurihara, the wielder of the Long Sword Sewing Needle, one of the Seven Ninja Swords of Kirigakure!

He is also Ye's superior, the deputy captain of the Dark Division.

Many of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist work in the Anbu. For example, Suigetsu Hobuki, the owner of the great sword Samehada, is also one of the vice-captains of the Anbu, but he is in charge of the intelligence group, while Kushimaru Kurihara is in charge of the assassination group.

"You're just taking over the position, kid. I won't hand over the sewing needles to anyone else!"

Kurisakumaru's lips twitched slightly beneath his mask, his gaze lingering briefly on the long sword at the boy's waist: "So this is your... legendary demon sword that belongs only to you."

"Just an ordinary weapon."

Night said calmly, taking out the asagi from his waist: "Does Lord Kurihara Kushimaru wish to have a match with me?"

"You're nothing like Minazuki, more like Kaguya and her gang."

Kushimaru Kurihara curled his lip, thinking that anyone who dared to challenge this kid was an idiot.

Although this kid hasn't awakened the Snow Clan's bloodline, he possesses an extremely strange secret technique. Almost everyone who has fought him would never want to fight him a second time.

"Yagura and his men's offensive at the front is not going well, so this assassination mission must succeed or fail."

"Our assassination mission will begin in three days, so you need to act ahead of time, set off immediately, get to the front lines, and create chaos."

After saying that, Kushimaru Kurihara didn't waste any more words and instantly disappeared, leaving only Yoru alone in the slightly dark and damp room.

Looking at the mission scroll in his hand, Ye's expression behind the white mask was complicated.

What's meant to happen will happen.

This year marks the fourteenth year since Ye traveled to this world, and also the forty-ninth year of Konoha.

The Third Shinobi World War, triggered by the disappearance of the Third Kazekage, is now nearing its end.

Although Sunagakure in the Land of Wind lost its Third Kazekage at the beginning, under the leadership of the newly appointed Fourth Kazekage, Rasa, it still managed to defeat Kumogakure in the Land of Lightning.

However, due to the severe lack of high-end combat power in the village, coupled with the crushing defeat at the hands of Konoha in the Battle of Kikyo Mountain, the village's economy collapsed and its military strength was severely lacking. Now, it has lost its will to fight and its ability to continue fighting.

the other side.

As the instigator of this war, Kumogakure of the Land of Lightning encountered setbacks at every turn in the early stages of the war. In addition to losing the Third Raikage, its top combat power, the near-Fourth Raikage 'A' and the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki Killer Bee, also failed to gain an advantage against the Yellow Flash Minato Namikaze, missing the opportunity to win the battle. Now, it can only retreat to the border.

The Third Shinobi World War, which swept across the entire shinobi world, has now been reduced to a battle between Konoha and Iwagakure.

Although Iwagakure successfully relied on its numerical advantage to besiege and kill the Third Raikage of Kumogakure in the early stages of the war, achieving considerable results.

However, in their subsequent joint battle with Sunagakure against Konoha in the Land of Fire, they encountered repeated setbacks.

In the battle at Kannabi Bridge, their supply lines were cut off by Konoha, causing them to suffer heavy losses.

Even though Iwagakure can still maintain a seemingly even stalemate with Konoha on the main battlefield, it's clear to everyone that this stalemate won't last long. Peace talks between the two great ninja villages are a done deal; it's just a matter of time.

Undoubtedly, the years-long war caused heavy losses to the four great ninja villages and the four major nations. This war was like a meat grinder, reaping the lives of everyone.

In this war, there are no winners.

No, the winner hasn't even appeared yet!

That's Kirigakure, which has never participated in the war!

While other ninja villages were engaged in fierce battles, Kirigakure, one of the Five Great Nations, maintained its strength, remaining on the sidelines and quietly waiting for its opportunity to enter the fray, hoping to reap the benefits.

And this moment.

The Sand Village's fighting force is reduced to less than one-tenth of its original strength.

The Cloud Retreat, its morale low, retreated to the border.

The Iwashinobu supply line was weakened after it broke.

Although Konoha was about to see the dawn of victory, the continuous battles had severely depleted manpower and resources, leaving the entire army exhausted.

Now is the perfect time for Kirigakure to make their appearance and seize the victory!

After dragging things out with Konoha along the long border of the Land of Fire for more than half a year, the Third Mizukage finally made a decision and sent a large army to the front line to prepare for a large-scale invasion. At the same time, he first sent the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist to carry out a decapitation operation.

If Jiraiya, the strongest fighter and commander who has just withdrawn from the Land of Earth battlefield and is about to be deployed to the Land of Water battlefield, is killed in advance, the Konoha front will inevitably be thrown into chaos, and the Mist Ninja army can also advance unimpeded and wreak havoc in the heart of the Land of Fire!

This was a plan devised by the Third Mizukage and the higher-ups of Kirigakure.

Unfortunately, the plan was good, but the result was bound to be a failure.

The assassination attempt on Jiraiya by the Seven Ninja Swordsmen was one of the most significant events in the entire Third Shinobi World War, yet it is not mentioned at all in the original work, and there is not even a record of the two fighting each other.

Clearly, the decapitation operation was destined to fail, and was not even carried out.

"Wait, it hasn't been implemented..."

The night paused.

It was impossible for them not to carry out the order; the Mizukage had already given the order, and even if the mission meant sending them to their deaths, they would go. Moreover, everyone in Kirigakure, from top to bottom, was full of confidence and determined to win this war.

And then, thinking back to the original story, the fate of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen...

"Could it be that this was the time when the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist entered the Land of Fire together in order to behead Jiraiya, but they didn't even encounter Jiraiya, and instead ran into Might Guy's team, and were then directly crushed by Might Guy?"

Ye's lips twitched slightly.

If that's the case, then it can only be said that the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist and Kirigakure were incredibly unlucky.

Full of confidence, ready to enter the game and reap the rewards, but before even making a move, one of his key generals was killed. How can he possibly win now?

I'm eagerly awaiting your reading and support of my new book. Thank you so much, everyone!

Chapter 2 Junior Sister Terumi Mei

Might Guy, the strongest fighter in Konoha today, without a doubt!

This Konoha genin, who had lived a quiet life doing low-level tasks like finding cats and doing manual labor, suddenly erupted during the Third Shinobi World War, single-handedly defeating the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, the village's top fighting force, and completely disrupting the village's plans.

The thought of this outcome left Ye speechless.

To stop the ninja swordsmen from carrying out their mission?

The Mizukage's orders have already been given, and there's no way to stop them. He himself has to carry out a mission with a high chance of certain death and must set off immediately. He doesn't have time to worry about so many other things.

Moreover, this is the land of blood mist.

Any unnecessary actions would only arouse unnecessary suspicion, especially since he was an unpopular and unawakened 'Minazuki' among his clan.

Destroy the mission scroll, and Ye pushes open the door and walks out of the secret room.

"Order all members of the First Squad to equip themselves on the hour and assemble at the training ground in ten minutes."

"Yes, Lord Ye."

A respectful voice came from the darkness, accompanied by a slight fluctuation of chakra.

Ten minutes later, sixteen more people appeared in front of Ye, each wearing a chilling white patterned mask.

To consolidate the village's development, the Second Mizukage, Gengetsu Hozuki, followed the example of the Second Hokage, Tobirama, by establishing the Kirigakure Ninja Academy and the Anbu. Therefore, the Kirigakure Anbu's configuration was the same as that of Konoha, with four people per group, and four groups forming a squad.

The first squad has seventeen members, including the squad leader, Ye!

"Lord Ye, the first squad has assembled."

"Lord Mizukage's secret order."

Night's gaze swept around, his voice cold and sharp.

"Destroy the Konoha camp's supplies, depart immediately!"

"Yes!"

Night gave the order, and all the members of the secret service squads followed their team leaders and began the operation without any objection.

These are the ninjas trained in the Village of Blood Mist. Even if they know it's a mission to their death, they will still carry it out. They are the most outstanding killing machines in the ninja world.

"Ah, night."

Just as Ye was about to take action, a clear, cold female voice stopped him.

At the entrance to the training ground, a figure with reddish-brown hair, also dressed in the uniform of the Mist Shadow Anbu, leaned against the door frame, watching Night walk out and whispering.

"Could I come along on this mission?"

“This is the mission for the first squad, and you are the squad leader of the second squad.” Night glanced indifferently at the young but exceptionally graceful figure in front of her and said, “Besides, the army is about to head to the front lines, so you should also have your own mission, Terumi Mei.”

"Why call her Mei Terumi? She sounds so distant."

The girl hummed twice and muttered, "I'm just a little reluctant to be separated from my senior brother for so long."

Do you even believe that yourself?

Upon hearing this, the corner of his mouth under the mask twitched slightly.

After graduating from the Ninja Academy, he was noticed by the elder of Kirigakure, "Yuan Shi," and taken under his command.

Mei Terumi was also recruited into their ranks that same year, but because Yoru was two years older, he naturally became Mei Terumi's senior.

"Captain Mei Terumi, this is the Anbu. Please address me as Captain Yoru."

"Alright, alright, Captain Night. But I absolutely do not want to work with that fat bastard, Suigetsu Fuguki!"

The thought of her mission drove Mei Terumi to the brink of madness.

She was clearly a top-tier combat genius with two bloodlines, but the Third Mizukage assigned her to the second squad responsible for intelligence, and her superior was that fat bastard Suigetsu Hozuki!

It's not that Mei Terumi has a problem with body shape; it's mainly that Suigetsu Hobuki's hands are really dirty. Despite being the deputy captain in charge of the intelligence team, he has repeatedly sold intelligence to other countries in exchange for profit.

This behavior might be unknown to others, but it's not a secret among the higher-ups. After all, it's just some insignificant intelligence, so it's sold without a second thought.

After all, who doesn't have some gray-market business involved?

However, after learning about this, Mei Terumi, who had just joined the Anbu, harbored deep contempt for this famous Seven Ninja Swordsman of Kirigakure.

"Now that the village is at war with Konoha, intelligence is undoubtedly the most important link. You can't let your temper cause you to mess things up."
