Start with a Zanpakuto and build the strongest Mist Village.

Above the captain and vice-captain are the head and vice-head of the Dark Division.

(There are two versions. The standard configuration in the original work is one captain and one deputy captain. The captain commands four squads, each with 17 people. There is one squad leader, who commands four platoons. A total of seventy people. Seventy people for the entire secret service is too few, so the number was doubled.)

Night was promoted directly from a squad leader to the deputy head of the Anbu, entering the upper echelons of the Kirigakure organization and becoming the de facto leader of the Anbu. This was undoubtedly a meteoric rise.

In an instant, countless eyes fell on the boy wearing the white mask.

He's only fourteen years old!

However, no one objected.

Almost everyone present knew the name Blood Mist Blade.

They all understood that Ye's reputation as a genius was not something that could be boasted about, but rather something that was built up one life after another.

And then there's this battle.

If it weren't for Yoru single-handedly bringing back four ninja swords and killing Nara Shikaku, Yamanaka Inoichi, and others, Kirigakure would have suffered heavy losses long ago.

It was precisely because Night managed to achieve a one-for-one trade that Kirigakure was able to continue fighting Konoha. Giving him the position of vice-captain of the Anbu would be no problem at all!

"I accept the order on a moonless night."

Ye stepped forward calmly, accepted the appointment, and officially entered the upper echelons of Wuyin!

Chapter 33: Still a Powerful Attack!

Jinan Town, Konoha's position.

Jiraiya looked at the Nara Saltwater Stream, which was located in the middle among the many Jonin in front of him.

"Saltwater, how do you think Kirigakure will attack next?"

After Nara Shikaku and Nara Suzaku were killed by Yoru, Jiraiya transferred Nara Shizuku, who was originally stationed in Futada Village, to serve as the temporary commander.

This wasn't a desperate measure; almost all members of the Nara clan were natural-born commanders, and Nara Ezumi was located in Futada Village, so he was quite familiar with the situation on the front lines. That's why Jiraiya transferred him over.

Nara Shizuku stared at the sand table in front of him with a serious expression, and did not speak rashly.

After a long silence, he spoke solemnly.

"In my opinion, Lord Jiraiya, Kirigakure won't employ any particularly special tactics or methods next. They'll launch a direct attack! And they'll continue to focus their main assault on our Tsunan Town!"

"how do I say this?"

"Our current Kirigakure defense line is mainly centered on Tsunan Town, spreading out in a fan shape to the north and south. Its main positions are five places: Higashimatsuyama, Misawa Bridge, Ooku Shirai Mining Area, Tsunan Town, Kazama and Yagaya. However, Kirigakure has always been very weak in attacking the other four places, and has been launching a fierce attack on Tsunan Town."

"According to the information we obtained from Suigetsu Hobuki's mind, Kirigakure intends to take advantage of the fact that the battlefields of Iwagakure and Kumogakure are still ongoing to use a blitzkrieg to defeat our main force in Tsunami Town, so that we can advance deep into the heart of the Land of Fire."

"However, because of our strong defensive awareness, and the fact that the main force of Kirigakure has not yet arrived, Kirigakure's plan has not been fully implemented."

Nara Saltwater's hand traced along the sand table, eventually landing on Tsunan Town.

"Now that the main force of Kirigakure has arrived, and the battles in Kumogakure and Iwagakure are not over either, I am certain that Kirigakure will not change its tactics, but will continue to launch a strong attack on our Tsunan Town, striving to break through us in the shortest possible time!"

"Is that so?"

Fugaku Uchiha's gaze turned grave: "Then we're likely to face unprecedented pressure..."

With the arrival of the main force of Kirigakure, even without the Seven Ninja Swords, Fugaku believed that the guy's combat power could completely compensate for the Seven Ninja Swords, and was even more threatening than the Seven Ninja Swords.

That day, the ice flowers that froze on Susanoo's cross shape... left a very deep impression on him.

"This is indeed a tough battle, but you don't need to feel too much pressure."

Jiraiya clapped his hands, raised his voice, and attracted everyone's attention.

Beside him, a toad had appeared out of nowhere, and in his hand, a scroll had appeared out of nowhere as well.

Looking at the information on the scroll, Jiraiya smiled.

"Our reinforcements are coming soon!"

……

As Ye accepted the appointment, he remained remarkably calm.

Yumi and Yukiko, who were standing behind them, were waving their little hands excitedly, while Yuri and Mitsuki were all smiling.

The deputy head of the Anbu is a very high-ranking member of Kirigakure.

Most importantly, Ye is only fourteen years old at this moment!

Not only the few people under Ye's command, but almost everyone in the entire tent looked at Ye with different expressions, looking at this top genius who had entered the upper echelons of Wuyin at the age of only fourteen.

They even began to wonder just how far the future nights could go.

The fourteen-year-old second-in-command of the Hidden Mist Division, what about the future?

Head of the Dark Guard?

Elder of the Hidden Mist?

still is……

unimaginable.

Many people are even preparing to invest in advance and make connections.

However, the Snow Clan members located on one side of the camp had very complicated expressions...

Yagura took in the various expressions on everyone's faces. He wasn't surprised, but Yoru's calm expression made him feel a little emotional.

Faced with such sudden rise to power, he was still able to maintain such a calm and composed attitude. His junior brother had a magnanimity that was in no way inferior to his own!

"Mei Terumi, the squad leader of the second squad of the Dark Division, is hereby appointed as the Dark Division Commander, responsible for all intelligence work at the front."

The appointment following the night was that of Mei Terumi.

Clearly, the Kirigakure leadership knew just how terrible their intelligence system was, but since it was wartime, they weren't sure they could handle it well even if they wanted to, so they handed it all over to Mei Terumi.

This appointment brought smiles to the faces of many elites in the Zhaomei clan.

The position of the Dark Squad Captain is not low. For example, two of the original Seven Ninja Swordsmen held the position of Dark Squad Captain (Vice Captain).

Most importantly, in addition to the appointment of the commander of the secret service, there was also the sentence "responsible for all intelligence work on the front line".

Once those words are spoken, Mei's authority changes completely.

To put it simply, that would be the head of the intelligence group in the secret service.

On a grander scale, Mei Terumi could even manage all of Kirigakure's intelligence departments!

"Terumi Mei takes the order!"

Terumi Mei stepped forward and accepted the appointment.

"Is Hozuki Mangetsu, a member of the first squad of the Anbu, appointed as the deputy commander of the first unit of Kirigakure (whose main force consists of ninjas skilled in hidden weapons and other weapons)."

"Is appointed Kirigakure Jonin Kaguya Tetsuya as commander of Kirigakure's Second Unit (the unit responsible for eliminating large numbers of enemies and fighting on the front lines)."

"He appointed Mizuki Hyoji, a Jonin of Kirigakure, as the Vice Commander of the Second Kirigakure Unit."

"Life is hidden in the mist..."

As Yagura distributed the orders, the numerous ninjas present appeared outwardly serious, but the expressions in their eyes varied.

Some people were grinning from ear to ear because of their promotions.

Some looked gloomy because of their demotion.

Some people are promoted in name only but demoted in reality, without real power or any extra income. Their expressions are often forced and insincere, making for quite a spectacle.

Faced with this group of people whose minds and bodies had been corrupted by absolute power, Ye had nothing to say. This was the basic foundation of Kirigakure. This village, which seemed to be shrouded in blood mist, possessed top-notch elites. However, the things that people who grew up in this high-pressure environment pursued and desired were even more distorted and twisted.

Bonds and emotions mean nothing to them anymore; what they crave more is power and desire!

Yoru glanced at the extremely serious and highly motivated Terumi Mei beside him and couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

"If we don't get rid of all these guys, Kirigakure will probably always be at the bottom of the five great villages..."

"The cause of this deformed and distorted phenomenon is obviously the blood mist, and this blood mist is clearly the work of Uchiha Madara."

"Little girl, your dream is to go against Ban!"

Before long, the appointment of the new positions came to an end, but the meeting was far from over.

After placing the appointment letter down, Yagura's gaze swept over everyone present, and everyone composed themselves, preparing for the actual meeting.

Or.

Pre-battle mobilization!

Chapter 34 Mizuki Crystal

With the pre-war mobilization concluded, the next step was war.

As the deputy head of the Dark Division, Yoru naturally had a lot of things to do. However, after discussing the attack plan with Yagura and returning to his tent, several figures blocked his way.

Looking at the clan crest of the Mizuki clan on the collars of the group, Yoru paused slightly, his tone indifferent.

"What's wrong?"

The group exchanged glances, and the leader spoke in a deep voice: "The clan elder wishes to see you. Please follow me."

Ye chuckled, ignoring these idiots, and walked towards his own tent.

This arrogant attitude immediately caused a hint of anger to appear in the leader's eyes.

The Snow Clan's personality and temperament are not as cold and indifferent as their bloodline limit. As a top-tier bloodline limit family in Kirigakure that is on par with, and even rivals, the Kaguya Clan, their personalities are not much better than those battle maniacs of the Kaguya Clan.

Ignored by the night, a trace of chakra began to emerge in the leader's hand.

But the moment his chakra appeared, a suffocating chill suddenly emerged.

He lowered his head in disbelief, unaware that his entire lower body had been frozen solid by ice crystals.

"when……"

"I can't sense any chakra."

The ice crystals continued to spread, and before long, the entire body below the man's neck was encased in ice crystals, with only his head remaining exposed.

Ye walked into his tent on his own, while the few members of the Snow Clan hurriedly left, clutching the humanoid popsicle.

Before I could finish processing a few documents that night, another person came to visit.

She is still a member of the Snow Clan.

This time, however, the people who came were a beautiful woman of about twenty years old and a man.

Although she was on the front lines, she did not wear the ninja vest of Kirigakure, but instead wore a gorgeous white kimono, her steps light and graceful.

Her long black hair covered her shoulders, and her mature and shapely figure beneath the kimono was captivating. Combined with her cool and aloof temperament, she possessed an unusual beauty reminiscent of an ice rose.

Her name was Mizuki Akira, an elder of the Yuki clan, and the man was Mizuki Hyōji, the newly appointed deputy commander of the Kirigakure Second Division.

The two waited quietly at the door until Ye finished processing the document in his hand before letting them in.

"You can wait at the door for now."

"Yes."

Having received permission, Minazuki Yuki said calmly, and Minazuki Hyoji nodded silently, waiting quietly at the entrance of the tent.

Because he was inside the camp and had been promoted to vice minister, Night no longer wore the mask of the Mist Shadow Anbu, revealing a young, handsome face with a touch of immaturity. At the same time, he had a small, pure white mask over his right eye.

Mizuki Akira's gaze lingered briefly on his face: "Minister, your eyes..."

"It's alright." Ye picked up the next document without looking up and continued processing it.

Reaching the rank of deputy head of the Anbu, Yoru had transcended the ranks of ordinary ninjas and entered the upper echelons, which meant he would begin to handle political affairs.

These documents were delivered by the secret service shortly after I took office.

After dealing with a few cases, Ye discovered that these involved not only matters from the secret service, but also village and local affairs, and the proportion was not small.

The case Ye was currently handling involved a Chunin from the Momochi clan who had taken on side jobs without permission. Not only that, but he also killed the Jonin of his own squad and used the head to sell for money at an underground gold exchange...

[Rank A rogue ninja, wanted, being hunted]

After writing a few words on the document, Ye raised her head and looked at Mizuki Akira in front of her.

"If it is merely a gesture of condolence, I have already received Lord Jing's concern. I am very busy with official duties, please forgive me, Lord Jing."
