Seven Ninja Blade Wielders

Pakura, Mist Ninja.

Shunren recalled this part of the plot from the original work. It was roughly that in order to fully fight against the Stone Ninja, the Sand Ninja had to deal with the worries of the Mist Ninja, and then tricked Pakura into going to the Mist Ninja to be killed.

Caught completely off guard, Pakura, who had become a renowned master of the Scorch Release technique in the Shinobi World, died in such a humiliating manner due to a sneak attack by the Mist Ninja.

That's how the original plot went, and it's hard to say whether things will change now. After all, with this transmigrator now on the scene, the butterfly effect wouldn't be surprising.

The ability to detect and detect allows the Shunren to easily bypass the border Mist Ninja' inspections.

Having completed the first step of the mission, we infiltrated the Land of Water.

Having found a secluded alley, Shunren caught a man.

"Hey, what are you doing?"

Sharingan!

As expected, Shunren obtained no information about Pakura through the interrogation using Genjutsu, because Pakura's mission to the Mist Ninja was a so-called "secret operation."

"Tell me, where is the main town of Kirigakure?" It's impossible for the people of the Land of Water not to know where Kirigakure is, so Shunren could easily find out the location from anyone he grabbed.

"Go east... four hundred li... into the Grand Canyon." After truthfully recounting this, the unfortunate fellow tilted his head, foamed at the mouth, and fainted.

Shunren didn't know where Pakura was, but according to the original story, Pakura was tricked into going to the entrance of Kirigakure and was ambushed and killed. Therefore, he only needed to go to the vicinity of Kirigakure and wait for her to come to him.

Grand Canyon.

"It's true that a new broom sweeps clean, but this shorty is way too arrogant!"

"I really don't know what those old fogies in the higher-ups were thinking, choosing that kid to be the Mizukage."

"Don't say that. No matter what, he is our new fourth generation leader."

"This is so annoying! To kill a mere Sand Ninja's Scorch Release user, I have to go through all this trouble!"

"Hey! Anyway, there are people worth killing, my sword is itching for a strike!"

"That 'Ghost Bird' kid, you guys can just find someone else to do it, I'm going to go have a drink."

"Then I'm leaving too. She's just a woman; you can deal with her yourselves."

Somewhere in the jungle, several kilometers away, the Shunren suppressed their aura so tightly that they dared not reveal it in the slightest, through the view of the Stealth Ward.

From initial surprise to shock to final horror!

At this moment, Mist Ninja who appeared in Shunren field of vision, but he knew them without a doubt. Even if he hadn't seen some of their faces, he could not possibly not recognize the swords they were wearing.

"The Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist..." Upon seeing these seven, Shunren had an urge to immediately abandon the mission and turn tail and run.

Are you kidding me!

The section about Pakura's death in the original work doesn't mention the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist! Shunren only knows that Pakura died at the hands of nameless soldiers from the Mist Ninja. Therefore, Shunren naturally assumes that defeating a few nameless soldiers would be enough to save Pakura, or rather, he wouldn't even need to lift a finger; just a reminder to Pakura would have prevented her from dying in a sneak attack.

Although the Stealth Ward couldn't hear what the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist of the Mist said, their displeased expressions and the way they dispersed suggested they didn't intend to ambush Pakura as a whole.

In reality, it was Yagura, the newly appointed Fourth Mizukage Mist Ninja, who urgently needed to sacrifice an enemy hated by all the Mist Ninja in order to consolidate his position in the village. Therefore, Yagura made a deal with Rasa, and as a condition for withdrawing his troops, the Sand Ninja tricked Pakura into coming to his death.

In order to ensure a 100% kill on Pakura, Yagura mobilized all Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, only to find that they were all unruly and rebellious individuals.

Disregarding the Mizukage's orders and doing things perfunctorily, Shunren thought that no matter what, it was fortunate that the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist didn't take it seriously; only one of the seven obediently headed towards the canyon entrance.

"This guy..." Shunren didn't know the man's name. He was a character in the original work, but his name wasn't listed. He was short and thin with an unremarkable appearance and a tuft of hair sticking up on his head. He was the wielder of the twin swords, Hira- Hiramekarei.

Shunren thought for a moment. If it was just one person, he wouldn't be afraid, because as far as he knew, the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist had different abilities, but their strength varied greatly. Apart from Kisame Hoshigaki, who came later, the others were probably only at the Elite Jonin to Quasi-Kage.

He wanted to test the waters, but if Shunren used his senses to sense a ninja of this level, it would be difficult for the opponent not to notice, so he had to abandon the idea.

After weighing his options, Shunren decided to secretly follow them.

The wielder of the Hiramekarei arrived at the entrance to a canyon, where about twenty people had already been deployed. They appeared to be Chunin or Special Jōnin from the Mist Ninja. However, one Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist of the Mist, plus twenty Mist Ninja, and a meticulously planned ambush, was enough to kill Pakura. No wonder the other members of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist hadn't come.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh~" The Hiramekarei wielder and the Mist Ninja all hid themselves, leaving only one person on the field to act as a backup for the Mist Ninja.

The Mist Ninja are all ready, just waiting for Pakura!

Shunren was also waiting.

About half an hour later, a figure dressed in a black cloak appeared from not far away.

"So she's finally appeared?" Although she was completely covered up, Shunren could still recognize her at a glance; her slender waist was evident from her figure.

"Halt! Who goes there?" the Mist Ninja in charge of providing backup asked, feigning concern.

Pakura stopped a hundred meters away from the other party. Without saying a word, she took off her cloak, revealing her face and the Forehead Protector that represented the Sand Ninja on her forehead.

The Mist Ninja's pupils contracted, then a smile appeared on his face. "Are you an envoy from Sand Ninja? I was sent by the Mizukage to provide backup..."

Pakura gave him a deep look, her lips moved as if she was about to say something, but at that moment, her pupils suddenly contracted.

Hidden to the side, Shunren Hand Seals, chanting, "Ninja Art: Mind- Mind Transmission Technique!"

"I see..." Pakura said calmly, her expression unchanged. "Then let's go."

Mist Ninja, not expecting Pakura to be so careless. He lowered his head and adopted a very humble posture. After Pakura passed by him, he took out a poisoned Kunai from his pocket and stabbed it hard in the back.

"Ah, you... you guys!" Pakura, poisoned by the Mist Ninja, was completely paralyzed. He struggled to turn his head, displaying a shocked expression.

The Mist Ninja's humble expression vanished, replaced by ferocity and savagery. He roared with laughter, "What Scorch Release user? So easily fooled! Attack!"

The next second, a large number of Kunai flew out from all directions, instantly turning Pakura into a sieve.

"The plot of the original work is 100% faithful to the source material," Shunren said calmly.
