The Land of Whirlpools.

This town is a melting pot of countless Rogue Ninja, Rogue Ninja, Samurai who come for profit, as well as countless merchants.

The First Hokage's Great Sword? That's probably why Tsunade, Sannin Tsunade, came here, especially since it was lost by the Second Hokage within the Land of Lightning.

When Sesshomaru (Uchiha Yoru) thought of this, he couldn't help but sneer inwardly. He was certainly making a clever plan; finding the First Hokage's weapon would be a huge boost to his Prestige.

"So you're the ninja who accepted the mission?"

A Rogue Ninja with a ferocious expression glared at him and said directly, "This is fucking expensive. Come on, treat my eyes."

The grotesque Rogue Ninja had a scar on his forehead, but he was one -One-Eyed Dragon. Beside him was another weak Rogue Ninja, clearly having been threatened into coming here.

"Don't want."

The weakened Rogue Ninja was about to speak when he was struck by a powerful blow. The One-Eyed Dragon -eyed ninja's furious Rogue Ninja rendered him speechless and nauseous.

The bustling hotel was packed with people, and countless onlookers wore bloodthirsty, schadenfreude smiles as they witnessed this scene—a common occurrence in this City of Darkness.

"A deposit of 100,000 is required, and another 500,000 will be paid upon completion."

In everyone's sight, a noble young man sitting at the dining table remained unmoved with a cold expression, calmly stating everything. When the One-Eyed Dragon Rogue Ninja saw that the other party was not intimidated by him, he immediately smiled, but his eyes became even more cautious.

"Good, stop dawdling and wasting time, hurry up and put his glasses back on."

It's obvious that this One-Eyed Dragon Rogue Ninja has captured someone to replace his own eye. However, Medical Ninja are already a scarce resource in the Shinobi World, let alone Medical Ninja capable of replacing eyes.

Rin Nohara is known to be the lowest-ranking Medical Ninja has undergone eye-swapping, but she was already a Chunin-level Chunin during the war and even became a disciple of Minato Namikaze. She is definitely not Medical Ninja with ordinary talent; otherwise, the village would be wasting too many resources.

Since the village could afford to train a ninja of Minato Namikaze's caliber, there are only two possibilities: talent or family background. Clearly Rin Nohara is of the talent type.

Therefore, Medical Ninja Medical Ninjutsu reaches the level of eye-changing techniques is technically far superior to Chunin- level Medical Ninja, but not quite at the Jōnin level.

In particular, the combat strength of Medical Ninja is a weakness. In the Shinobi World, only the Five Great Nations have the ability to train a large number of them. Some smaller ninja villages have very few.

"Good."

With his concise and economical manner, Sesshomaru's calm expression showed no hesitation, only indifference. Although the other party was wary when he saw this, he still glared threateningly at the Rogue Ninja he had captured.

"Kamezaburo, don't worry. As long as you only have one eye, if you resist, then it won't just be one eye."

Faced with the threat of the one-eyed Rogue Ninja, the frail Kamezaburo chose to submit out of fear. Between his life and a lost eye, any intelligent person knows how to choose, and this is also the cruelty of the Shinobi World.

A scream echoed throughout the restaurant. Even though Medical Ninjutsu had blocked his pain receptors, Kamezaburo couldn't help but scream in panic when he suddenly lost sight in one eye—it was human instinct.

With a bloody eyeball in his hand, Sesshomaru couldn't help but show disgust and aversion in his eyes, even though he was wearing surgical gloves, as if he was disgusted that he had dirtied his hands.

"Hurry up!"

The one-eyed man looked at the bloodied eye with an excited expression. His eyes could finally see again. No one could understand the pain of a person who had lost an eye.

Sesshomaru coldly manipulated Medical Ninjutsu, directly removing the opponent's damaged eyeball and replacing it with a new one. As the pale green medical Chakra nourished it, the various optic nerves began to connect, and the one-eyed Rogue Ninja immediately showed excitement because he saw light.

Meanwhile, the Kamezaburo, was in agony while getting his eye replaced. He covered his eye with a piece of cloth in a disheveled state and then hurriedly fled the scene.

Faced with the choice between an eye and his life, he chose his life. However, the other party was undergoing an eye transplant, and he had to escape immediately. This was his best chance; once the transplant was complete, his life would once again be in someone else's hands.

As Kamezaburo fled in a sorry state, everyone gasped in surprise. Such an easy eye-swapping technique probably reached the threshold of Jōnin level, but only in terms of Medical Ninjutsu, not combat power.

Medical Ninja are a scarce resource, and are the envy of countless Rogue Ninja and small ninja villages.

Several self-aware ninjas exchanged glances, and then the three of them quietly chose to leave. With a thorough understanding of their own strength, they knew even more clearly that the one-eyed Kamezaburo was a prime Rogue Ninja.

Moreover, it wasn't just the three of them; there were other people in the restaurant who had the same idea.

"My eyes!"

When his vision returned, the one-eyed Rogue Ninja instantly excited, but his expression changed in an instant. He clutched his newly replaced eye, wincing in pain, and pointed at the other man, cursing, "Damn it, my eye hurts so much! You didn't learn any Daoist techniques, did you? Damn it!"

"Your skills are completely inadequate. I'll let it go since you barely managed to replace my eyes."

It was obvious to everyone that this one-eyed Rogue Ninja was trying to renege on his debt, but the other party was clearly still wary of this aristocratic-looking Medical Ninja, and finally took out a thick wad of banknotes from his pocket.

"This is only 100,000; we still need 400,000!"

The indifferent voice came out again. Sesshomaru disdainfully took off his medical gloves and threw them away. He looked at the banknotes on the table and realized that they were still missing a lot. Meanwhile, the one-eyed Rogue Ninja stood up with an angry expression.

"Damn it, my eyes haven't fully recovered yet. I need to find another Medical Ninja to confirm, otherwise I don't trust you. I'll give you the rest after my eyes are better."

He was trying to cheat, but anyone who could appear in this chaotic city was no ordinary person. So, the Rogue Ninja calmly took out some money, which could be considered as an explanation for the matter.

Asking for less will keep things quiet. If things really escalate, it's not certain who will suffer a loss, since you're Medical Ninja after all.

Inside the restaurant, countless people wore expressions of amusement and skepticism, seemingly watching how this scene would end. At the same time, many of them wanted to test the strength of this Medical Ninja. If he was ordinary, he would certainly be worth a good price; if he was very strong, befriending a Medical Ninja would be a good thing for them.

Just then, a flash of cold light appeared. While countless people were still dazed and unaware of what had happened, only a very few people's pupils shrank, revealing expressions of shock.

What a fast Sword Drawing Technique!

"Four hundred thousand. I think your body is worth that much." The cold voice echoed, and the standing Rogue Ninja slumped down with a thud. A red line appeared on his neck, followed by blood that dripped onto the floor.

"Eyes, limbs, heart, liver, spleen, and lungs—this is your money, sir."

Just then, the restaurant owner came out with a big smile. He looked the corpse up and down, then held up five fingers. "All the organs are intact, and it's even nourished with Chunin -level Chakra. It's just a little old."

Looking at the so-called 500,000 taels in the shopkeeper's hand, Sesshomaru nodded indifferently, "Alright, send the money to my room."

"Alright, sir, please proceed."

Murder and bloodshed were commonplace in this Land of Chaos, and almost no one was surprised. But when the truth came to light, countless people showed expressions of shock.

What a swift Sword Drawing Technique! So many of them didn't even see how the opponent drew their sword; only a few caught a glimpse of a cold flash.

After Sesshomaru calmly departed, the crowd began to discuss among themselves. A powerful ninja alone wouldn't have amazed them so much, but to possess such skill in Medical Ninjutsu alongside such strength was quite different.

Rogue Ninja, Rogue Ninja, Samurai from small countries, and so on—high-level Medical Ninja are incredibly rare resources. Having a ninja of that caliber in the wild is like finding a hot commodity.

If you say that a powerful ninja or Samurai of Jōnin rank is wandering the Shinobi World, people will only gasp in surprise and then go about their business. But if it's a powerful Medical Ninja, they will be shocked and start searching for information.

After all, which of them doesn't live a life of constant danger, risking their lives? Injuries and poisonings are commonplace, and losing limbs or even becoming disabled after a mission is not uncommon. What if they could get to know a Medical Ninja like this?

My savior!

"All we know about this person is that he comes from the Land of Fire, and his ancestors were Samurai nobles."

"I see, no wonder your Sword Drawing Technique was so amazing."

"In my opinion, this person's Sword Drawing Technique has surpassed the level of an ordinary ninja; we must not act rashly."

Amidst the murmurs and whispers, everyone in this dark gathering place knew that a fallen Samurai nobleman with advanced Medical Ninjutsu had arrived.

Spies from various countries have begun to move covertly. If it were just a Jōnin, they might investigate, but someone with advanced Medical Ninjutsu is a different story.

Someone capable of cultivating advanced Medical Ninjutsu is either a treasure of Five Great Ninja Villages or a small one. How did they end up here? As for a gifted rogue Rogue Ninja who has reached this level of skill, it's not impossible, but unfortunately, it's too slim.

Back inside the house, Sesshomaru gazed calmly at the bustling town through the window, as if nothing could stir his emotions. But in reality, he had already begun to ponder his mission.

The First Hokage's Great Sword was lost when the Second Hokage died in the Land of Land of Lightning. It's highly likely that it ended up in the hands of the Land of Lightning. Why did it disappear for so many years and suddenly reappear here?

Is the Land of Lightning trying to muddy the waters and get more people involved? Thinking about it now, it does seem to fit the Land of Lightning's usual pattern.

Meow~

Just then, a meow rang out, and a Ninja Cat appeared, bowed respectfully, and then dropped the scroll it was carrying in its mouth in front of it.

The Ninja Cat is Summoning Beast clan with deep ties to the Uchiha Clan.

"Let's go back."

After speaking softly, the Ninja Cat nodded respectfully, and a wisp of white smoke from Summoning Beast vanished from the table, leaving only a green scroll.

As the scroll was opened, a flash of crimson appeared in the instant the eyebrows were lowered, and the true contents of the scroll were immediately revealed.

"As expected, my guess was right. The First Hokage's weapon disappeared many years ago. People have even forgotten that the First Hokage ever had a weapon, and only remember the legend of Wood Release."

Compared to the village and the clan, he trusted the clan more. Therefore, after carrying out this mission, he secretly contacted the clan elders and the clan head. As expected, as the oldest Noble Houses and the number one powerful family in the Shinobi World, they were indeed capable, and they sent the information over in just one week.

The intelligence passed down from the clan clearly stated that the First Hokage's Great Sword had suddenly appeared in the Land of Whirlpools, suspected to be a plot by the Land of Lightning. However, the Great Elder's final instruction seemed a bit excessive, suggesting that if given the opportunity, Tsunade and try to take down the Senju Clan.

"So that means there's a much bigger scheme going on here." Sesshomaru pondered calmly, realizing that the situation was more complex than he had imagined.

The Land of Water, Konoha, and the Land of Lightning, which wants to cause trouble and take advantage, are just some of the countless small countries, Rogue Ninja, and Rogue Ninja that flock to the area.

Hundreds of kilometers away from the town, in the Konoha Base, Shin'nosuke Sarutobi had almost stabilized the situation on the front lines. However, upon hearing the news from the town, he immediately frowned.

"After entering the town under the guise of Sesshomaru Uchiha Yoru didn't do anything significant? He merely used Medical Ninjutsu to acquire wealth?"

Upon seeing this information, Shin'nosuke Sarutobi's expression immediately turned serious. "So, what exactly are you planning to do?"

"Shinnosuke, we can't let Uchiha Yoru." Just then, Ume Sarutobi appeared on the side, and after looking at the information coming from the town, she immediately showed her dissatisfaction.

"If we can retrieve the First Hokage's Great Sword, it will be a tremendous achievement for you. The First Hokage's weapon returning to the village is an honor that belongs to you alone."

With no resistance from Konoha, Ume Sarutobi immediately revealed her ambition, openly stating the benefits of the matter.

What are your plans?

Shin'nosuke Sarutobi sometimes regarded his ambitious wife as his right-hand woman, as her shrewdness could indeed help him in certain situations.

Ume Sarutobi sneered, "The front lines are gradually stabilizing. Once we've tested the waters with Kirigakure a few times and figure out their strength, we can switch to offense and win a few decisive victories. Then, people in the village will naturally praise us."

"But the mission of that brat Uchiha cannot be delayed. Hesitation will only lead to more trouble. We should secretly leak the brat's identity directly."

As she said this, a cold glint flashed in Ume Sarutobi's eyes, and she sneered, "The temptation of collaborating with Orochimaru on Human Experimentation is enough to lure some people into drugging me."

"Sesshomaru! Orochimaru! Hmph, since this brat can't forget his poisonous snake teacher, let's push him around. I refuse to believe that Kumogakure won't take the bait."

Although Ume Sarutobi's methods were somewhat extreme, Shin'nosuke Sarutobi had no choice but to nod secretly after hearing them. "You mean to expose Sesshomaru's identity and use human experimentation as bait?"

"Indeed, the Human Experimentation that could fascinate Orochimaru and almost turn him into Rogue Ninja must have been secretly suspected by the Four Great Ninja Villages for a long time. It must be at least an S-rank Forbidden Technique, otherwise it wouldn't be worth it. And how could the ever-greedy Cloud Ninja not take the bait?"

"Moreover, this weapon of the First Hokage is most likely a trap set by the Kumogakure." At this point, Ume Sarutobi sneered, "Let this brat lure out the Cloud Ninja first, then after we crush the Hidden Mist Ninja Village on the battlefield, we'll take over the Land of Whirlpools. We'll search every inch of it then, and I don't believe we won't find the First Hokage's weapon."

"Since the Cloud Ninja dared to release this information, it must be true."

It must be said that Ume Sarutobi truly lives up to her reputation as the former Anbu Captain; her intellect and mental fortitude are indeed extraordinary.

This part of the story is only a few tens of thousands of words long, and it serves as a setup for the awakening of another Mangekyo, so it will be finished quickly. I hope everyone enjoys it.
