A Deal with Suikazan Fuguki
Suikazan Fuguki, a Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, betrayed information to a neighboring country and ultimately died at the hands of Kisame, who also Kisame Samehada.
However! The official guidebook says that in order to protect the Bloody Mist Village, he carried out underground missions for many years. He was very shrewd and had a strong sense of vigilance. Even Uchiha Obito looked at him differently. All the ruthless actions he took were for the sake of the village.
This is a very complex person. Uchiha Yoru doesn't know the other party's specific thoughts, but one thing is certain: if the other party is acting in the best interests of the village, then he will absolutely not choose to fight to the death. Temporary losses are nothing; if he continues to fight Konoha to the death, the Mist Ninja will be the worst off.
Therefore, regardless of whether Suikazan Fuguki is truly a villain who betrayed the village's interests, there's nothing more to say; he holds leverage over Hozuki. If Hozuki is secretly protecting Mist Ninja with his own methods, then in order to climb to a higher position and gain greater power, Hozuki will have no choice but to continue down this path.
"Suikazan Fuguki, you secretly betrayed Mist Ninja's information to a neighboring country. Do you really think nobody knows?"
The light, airy voice echoed in his ears. Just a moment ago, the imposing Suikazan Fuguki was surrounded by thick fog, but his expression suddenly changed drastically, and a strong killing intent flashed in his pupils!
The other side knows his information! Damn it, Konoha has even infiltrated Kirigakure. At this moment Suikazan Fuguki felt a chill run down his spine, in addition to his fear. If things were to break out, his only option would be to defect.
"Hehe, but don't worry, the information about you has always been handled by the Former Root Deputy Commander, who is also my Teacher Orochimaru. And before my teacher could upload the information, something happened. I think you understand."
Uchiha Yoru's meaningful smile made Suikazan Fuguki breathe a sigh of relief, but it also filled him with resentment and anger. He had gained another weakness! Damn it! This brat had something on him; he'd never be able to escape this situation. No! Was he really going to defect?
At this moment, Suikazan Fuguki was clearly flustered, while Uchiha Yoru secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this. It seemed that this fat guy was really bold, having already started betraying the village's information long ago.
It wasn't that Suikazan Fuguki hadn't suspected the other party was bluffing him; it was that when the other party mentioned Root, he believed it. That damned group of assassins from Konoha's Root, those filthy creatures known as the Darkness of Konoha, most likely really had evidence against him.
"Fatty, you don't need to panic so much. You know my current situation."
In Suikazan Fuguki's eyes, this Uchiha brat revealed an evil, demonic smile.
"You must know that my Teacher Orochimaru is in trouble. After all, this is the fuse that caused turmoil in the Shinobi World. I don't care about it now, since I still have the Uchiha Clan behind me. But the group left behind by my teacher will probably be wiped out. I think you understand what that means."
Having broken through the enemy's defenses, Uchiha Yoru didn't want to rush things and let the guy defect. Although the Mist Ninja would suffer losses, it didn't seem like he would gain much; at most, the commander of the Mist Ninja would just be replaced.
Upon hearing Uchiha Yoru's self-destruction, Suikazan Fuguki suddenly realized that this kid was also an ambitious person, unwilling to be an ordinary ninja, and actually wanted to gather a force.
Ambitious! Just like him, unwilling to give up power.
At this moment, his panicked heart seemed to calm down a little, but Suikazan Fuguki still didn't look pleased and said in a deep voice, "What kind of person do you want! It's not easy for me to do things on the front lines now, and if I go too far, it will be easy to be discovered, and then neither of us will have a good ending."
The Suikazan Fuguki's tone also carried a threatening undertone, as if to say, "Don't go too far. If I'm exposed, I won't let you get away with it."
Uchiha Yoru shrugged, revealing an arrogant and disdainful smile. "You're wrong about one thing: you won't have a good ending. After all, once things get out, you'll only be able to flee to the Shinobi World. But I'm different. I have the Uchiha, the strongest Noble Houses in Konoha, behind me."
"Damn Suikazan Fuguki cursed inwardly, his eyes turning red with envy. He felt incredibly bitter. "These Noble Houses Kekkei Genkai clans! The Fourth Mizukage's policy of weakening Kekkei Genkai families was indeed correct. The clans wielded too much power, so he agreed with weakening them, but not with exterminating them."
"Fatty, I know your ambition, and I know you want to climb higher. This might also be a bridge between us. For example, if you have any enemies, you can give me information, and I'll be happy to clear the obstacles for you."
Seeing Uchiha Yoru spouting such shameless words, Suikazan Fuguki almost vomited blood. What did he mean by clearing obstacles for him? It was clearly just that this brat wanted to make a name for himself. Damn it! However, he was somewhat tempted.
"Kid, once or twice is fine, but if it happens too often, how long do you think I can stay in this position?"
Suikazan Fuguki simply laid it all out. Since things had come to this point, why was he still hiding anything? He glared at him and said, "Your merits are a loss for me. Once or twice is fine, but if it happens too often, the Mist Ninja will change his title as the Front Line Commander."
Seeing that Suikazan Fuguki was gradually softening and accepting this, Uchiha Yoru loosened his grip on the Kusanagi Sword by a third, but a mocking smile appeared on his face.
"Don't worry, I won't make things difficult for you. After all, I know your Mizukage's methods for dealing with Kekkei Genkai ninjas. Isn't this perfect? I'll take care of the Kekkei Genkai ninja for you, which will also help you clear obstacles. You don't need to thank me then."
"Shameless!" Suikazan Fuguki cursed inwardly, but he could only suppress his anger. "The Kekkei Genkai ninjas of Kirigakure can only be weakened gradually, not all at once. And what exactly do you want? What do I need to give up to get back Great Sword: Samehada?"
Suikazan Fuguki isn't stupid. Once the other party has a handle on him, they will only become more greedy. He'll be in trouble sooner or later unless this brat dies, which is obviously impossible for him right now. So there's only one option left: defection!
He was unwilling to remain in such a wretched state in the Shinobi World, and the Great Sword: Samehada was his most prized possession. Without Great Sword: Samehada, his strength was reduced by more than half. In the perilous Shinobi World, only strength could bring peace of mind. Therefore, no matter what, he had to get Samehada back.
Only with the Great Sword: Samehada in his hand could he guarantee his life while he was in exile in the Shinobi World.
"Don't worry, I just need some good kids, I think you understand that. Of course, some precious experimental subjects of Kekkei Genkai ninjas would be best, after all, my Teacher Orochimaru is on this island."
Beneath Uchiha Yoru's meaningful smile, Suikazan Fuguki broke out in a cold sweat, barely suppressing his shock as he stared at the other man, "Orochimaru is also in the Land of Whirlpools!"
Damn it! I knew it! How could this brat have such audacity? It's obvious that Orochimaru of Konoha is unwilling to accept defeat and wants to make a comeback. No wonder his information wasn't leaked. It turns out that Orochimaru instructed this brat, and the two of them, master and disciple, are plotting something big together.
It's obvious that Suikazan Fuguki misunderstood; he thought Orochimaru was unwilling to accept defeat and wanted to make a comeback to return to Konoha and compete for the Hokage position.
Uchiha Yoru naturally saw the other's gaze, but he showed an indifferent smile. As for bringing up Orochimaru, it was just a cover.
He would cover for himself, and if the other party really went all out and did something reckless, he could simply pretend to know nothing. In any case, his Teacher Orochimaru would take the blame. After all, if they really wanted to investigate, the traces of Orochimaru's appearance in the Land of Whirlpools wouldn't lie, and they would change their focus.
"How can I get my Great Sword: Samehada back?"
Thinking he had figured out the whole truth, Suikazan Fuguki immediately chickened out. He only wanted to be a department head, but Orochimaru wanted the Hokage position. They were not even in the same league. Moreover, Orochimaru was the Third Hokage's student. It was an internal conflict; what did he think he was?
The threat of a desperate, all-or-nothing attack was instantly aborted.
"You can't be that naive, can you? You want your ninja sword back without giving anything in return?" Uchiha Yoru looked at him with a look of utter astonishment, as if to say, "Do you think I'm an idiot?" He then shrugged and said, "I forgot to tell you, Great Sword: Samehada seems to be a living entity. My teacher is very interested and wants to study it for a while, so you know what I mean."
Suikazan Fuguki gritted his teeth. At this moment, he was completely on the defensive and could only be led by the nose. At the same time, he secretly decided that if the other party really went too far, he would definitely not stand for it when he got back the Great Sword: Samehada.
"The Signal Flare just now indicated that our Konoha reinforcements have landed. It seems this war will have to take a break for a while. We'll contact you again later."
After saying that, Uchiha Yoru turned to leave, but then suddenly remembered something and stopped in his tracks.
"The ninja who ambushed me last time, that shark-faced, masked Kekkei Genkai ninja, I don't think you'd be too upset about it, would you?"
Seeing Uchiha Yoru suddenly say this as he was about to leave, Suikazan Fuguki revealed a bloodthirsty smile, his eyes filled with ferocious bloodshot veins.
"Heh, it seems these two ninjas have offended you quite a bit, to be so hated by you. Shark Face is my capable subordinate, named Kisame Hoshigaki. I still need someone to serve me now, but I'll hand him over to you when I'm no longer needed. Don't worry, I can give you Kisame Hoshigaki's information first."
"As for the other masked Kekkei Genkai ninja you mentioned, I don't know about that yet. But don't worry, with the Konoha this time, the Mizukage's orders should arrive soon. At that time, this elite force will be under my command, and I will secretly investigate and provide you with the information."
He was utterly cold-blooded towards two ninjas from the same village, even his own assistant Suikazan Fuguki, showing no hesitation whatsoever and displaying his selfishness to the fullest extent.
Uchiha Yoru smiled and nodded, saying, "Alright, I'll wait for your good news. Anyway, Kekkei Genkai ninjas aren't having an easy time in your Kirigakure, so why don't you put more effort into squeezing out the Kekkei Genkai ninjas on the front lines and create more opportunities for me?"
Hearing such shameless words from the other party, Suikazan Fuguki silently nodded. He comforted himself, thinking that since the village's policy towards Kekkei Genkai ninjas was to exclude them anyway, it would be better if he died. He was just responding to the village's policy.
"Kid, I'm afraid I can't keep the secret of Samehada's Great Sword: Samehada for long. Once my affair is exposed, there will be a new commander here, and then all your schemes will be in vain."
The current Suikazan Fuguki has nothing left to threaten them, so they can only use this as leverage: as long as I'm here, there will be people cooperating with you; if someone else comes, then everything will have to start all over again.
"Hehe, don't worry, I believe in your abilities."
How could Great Sword: Samehada be returned so easily? Uchiha Yoru simply smiled and nodded, and as the thick fog gradually dissipated, both of their figures disappeared into it.
At the same time, Signal Flare appeared in the sky, some Signal Flare the retreat of the Mist Ninja and others Signal Flare the arrival of Konoha.
With the arrival of Konoha's reinforcements, the battle between the two major ninja villages of Land of Whirlpools temporarily came to an end with both retreating.
Konoha Base
"Quickly, a hemostatic bandage. His arm has been set; now he needs rest."
"Yes!"
"Next."
Although the war had ended, the fierce fighting on both sides over the past three days had left many wounded. At this moment, Uchiha Yoru, covered in sweat and with a solemn expression, was performing Medical Ninjutsu to treat the wounded behind the base.
"For those with severe injuries, stabilize their condition first and try to prevent it from worsening. Depending on the urgency of the injury, seek treatment from Doctor Yakushi Nonō."
"Yes."
Uchiha Yoru issued a series of orders while his hands were busy. Although his Medical Ninjutsu was not as good as the experienced Yakushi Nonō, it was still quite good, especially in suppressing the worsening of injuries.
Inside the tents at the rear, there were Medical Ninja and wounded ninjas. Screams and wails echoed constantly, and the air was filled with a strong smell of blood and medical equipment.
"Captain Kakashi"
"Kakashi- senpai."
Just as everyone was busy, a respectful voice suddenly rang out in the Camp, and Uchiha Yoru, without looking up, was solemnly treating a ninja.
"Captain Yoru." Hatake Kakashi's attitude seemed to have changed since the last time. His behavior now subtly revealed a superior-subordinate relationship, and he arrived with an extremely respectful expression.
"How are the Camp arrangements going?"
Facing Uchiha Yoru, who didn't even look up, Hatake Kakashi nodded solemnly and said, "Everything is arranged. The lightly injured ninja teams, along with the newly arrived reinforcements, will adapt to the frontline environment as quickly as possible."
"Alright, remember to send in additional reconnaissance ninja squads. Be extremely careful to prevent the Mist Ninja from taking this opportunity to launch a sneak attack."
"I have already deployed nine additional squads to monitor the area around the clock."
The Konoha Ninja around them were deeply moved to see their supreme commander Uchiha Yoru, arrive at the temporary field hospital to treat ninjas immediately after leaving the battlefield, handing over all authority to his assistant. Now, he was simultaneously performing Medical Ninjutsu to Medical Ninja and handling administrative affairs, which truly impressed them.
It must be said that in a ninja world that is clearly full of insidious schemes and tricks, the Genin distorted world.
Uchiha Yoru won over countless hearts with just a few simple tricks; it was only in this distorted world that it was so easy.
"Captain Yoru, this is the list of this batch of reinforcements. Due to the urgency of the situation, they have been temporarily assigned, and will be reassigned later based on the battle situation."
It has to be said that having Hatake Kakashi around is incredibly convenient and saves a lot of trouble. No wonder he's destined to become Hokage. Although he's still a bit inexperienced, he's definitely the most capable assistant under him right now.
