Kaguya Clan is also known as the Taketori Clan.
As one of Kaguya Ōtsutsuki's descendants, her Kekkei Genkai is extremely powerful.
However, although their clan's Shikotsumyaku are powerful, their bloodline is inherently filled with violent factors.
Even before Yagura took office, he was always stirring up trouble. Not to mention when Yagura took office and made his first big splash, he turned Kirigakure.
Most importantly, they've brought trouble upon themselves; how can we tolerate that?
I already disliked Yagura, that precocious little brat, and now he's using all sorts of excuses to weaken his family's power.
At this time, the entire clan rebelled and launched a riot in Kirigakure, burning, killing, and destroying everything in their path, killing anyone they saw and not even sparing the stray dogs on the roadside!
"Mizukage will arrive at the battlefield in 3 minutes. You take a team and evacuate the civilians!"
An Anbu Captain gave instructions to her teammates, which was the latest order she had received.
This person is none other than the future Mizukage, Mei Terumī, but she hasn't yet shown her talent and is still working hard to gain experience in the Anbu.
The Kaguya Clan's uprising was likely premeditated, plunging Kirigakure into war in an instant.
He left himself no way out; it was a do-or-die situation. However, in the eyes of the Mizukage, this was nothing short of a path to certain death.
Just as the Kaguya Clan was wreaking havoc in the village.
Outside the village.
A three- or four-year-old child was running towards Kirigakure with a bone blade in his hand.
The child had fair skin, long white hair that fluttered in the wind, and two small red dots on his forehead; he was quite handsome.
This person was none other Kimimaro, who had missed the appointed time due to oversleeping, and was now jogging breathlessly to get there.
Although there was no encounter with Haku or Kimimaro, they still met their destined mentor on the cliff near Kirigakure.
"Ouch!"
Kimimaro and fell face-first into the dirt.
Even after falling, he still gripped the bone blade tightly in his hand.
"What a panicked fellow!"
Just as he was struggling to get up, a voice reached his ears.
Kimimaro looked ahead warily, his body poised to attack at any moment.
"Could they be ninjas from Kirigakure?"
Just as this thought arose, the person in front of me spoke again.
"I'm not from this village!"
A pair of snake-like eyes watched the reckless fellow before them with great interest.
Kimimaro's pupils widened sharply as soon as he met those snake eyes, while Orochimaru's pupils shrank back and forth.
Most children would be terrified if they saw Orochimaru's snake-like eyes, if not trembling with fear.
Kimimaro was only momentarily stunned before regaining his senses.
"Your temperament is quite good!"
Orochimaru nodded inwardly. Everyone who grew up in the Kaguya Clan was lawless, even the children were unrestrained.
"Your target is over there!"
Orochimaru tilted Kimimaro head slightly to indicate that the person in front of him was not there to stop him.
Without stopping, they bypassed Orochimaru without hesitation and continued their rush towards Kirigakure.
"They think they can only find their way to survive through fighting? What a bunch of fools!"
Watching the small, thin figure gradually disappear, and then glancing at the war-torn Kirigakure in the distance, Orochimaru shook his head with a look of pity.
The idea that pleasure comes solely from fighting is no longer viable.
Treating an organized group as an adversary, even if force is used, will only make one a fool rushing to their death.
In his view, the Kaguya Clan was just a bunch of brainless thugs.
Times are changing. You are even more arrogant than the Uchiha, attempting to seize power through a coup d'état with the power of your clan!
The Uchiha clan had to prepare for many years, and their goal was simply to seek justice.
Even the Uchiha wouldn't dare to simultaneously confront the combined forces of Konoha's Anbu, Root, Hyuga, Yamanaka Clan, Inuzuka Clan.
During the Fourth Great Ninja War, the Five Great Nations assembled Allied Shinobi Forces, with each nation having at least 10,000 ninjas.
This is not an exaggeration by Orochimaru. In the Third Great Ninja War, that old guy Ōnoki led 10,000 ninjas and suffered a humiliating defeat.
They even ganged up on and killed the Third Raikage halfway through, which shows that there are tens of thousands of ninjas in the Land of Earth.
As the strongest ninja nation among the Five Great Nations, Konoha must have over ten thousand ninjas.
As for the Land of Water now, although it has implemented the Bloody Mist Politics, Kirigakure is now an Asura's Path many people die every day.
But even a starved camel is bigger than a horse, and it's not something small countries like the Land of Hot Water or the Land of Snow can contend with.
Even with the Uchiha controlling the Konoha Military Police Force and having over a thousand members, including geniuses like Fugaku, Shisui, and Itachi, no one dared to act rashly.
The Kaguya Clan was small to begin with, and Kimimaro was the only truly outstanding genius among them.
The Kaguya Clan's attempt to fight against the powerful leadership of Kirigakure was doomed from the start.
"The Kaguya Clan is doomed, but Kimimaro still be saved!"
After saying that, Orochimaru smiled slightly and his figure disappeared from the spot in an instant.
He was the only general he could truly be proud of.
This guy was not only good-looking, but also very good at fighting. Most importantly, he was extremely loyal and served Orochimaru until his death.
Which leader wouldn't appreciate such awareness? Of course, Orochimaru wouldn't just treat him as a convenient tool.
Not only Kimimaro, but also Anko, Guren, and Haku, etc. Taking advantage of them and leading them on a good path is a way of repaying them!
At this moment, the Kaguya clan members in Kirigakure were already bloodthirsty.
In a short period of time, they routed the ninjas of Kirigakure.
On one hand, their clan's Kekkei Genkai indeed domineering, and the sudden attack caught the Mist Ninja in a panic.
On the other hand, the Mist Ninja were not united, and the negative impact of the Bloody Mist Politics was indeed significant.
The major clans of Kirigakure also stood by and watched; losing one clan meant gaining more benefits, so it was already a good thing they didn't kick someone when they were down.
"We, the Kaguya Clan, dare to defy the heavens!"
After the Kaguya Clan chief viciously stabbed a Mist Ninja to death, he roared angrily with his bone blade pointing to the sky!
Upon hearing this, the Kaguya ninjas around them became even more excited and fought even more frantically.
This creature, covered in a chilling, burly appearance, looks like it's been given a powerful tonic; it could climb six floors in one go without breaking a sweat!
Such a fighting maniac's spirit is commendable, but that's about all he has to offer.
"Being needed is what keeps me fighting, and I can't live without fighting!"
Kimimaro was also fighting a ninja. His body was covered in sharp bones, like a hedgehog, and even three or five ninjas could not get close to him.
In the Hikari, Kimimaro's figure moved nimbly, dodging each slash and finding opportunities to finish off one besieging ninja after another.
Amidst the commotion, as he dealt with the last ninja who was attacking him, Kimimaro finally succumbed to his exhaustion, his Chakra depleted, and collapsed to the ground.
When he woke up again, it was already dawn, and the soft morning sunlight slanted down on him.
Last night's battle affected a wide area, but fortunately he is now some distance away from Kirigakure.
Otherwise, he would inevitably be finished off by later ninjas, and he would probably die without knowing why.
What's the point of a person living and then collapsing?
Kimimaro struggled to get up, ignoring the pain all over his body. Last night had been too crazy, and his head was still throbbing.
He glanced around at the already cold corpses, then stared blankly at the flowers in front of him.
"Living has no inherent meaning, but to keep living is like you finding that flower, just as I found you!"
A familiar voice suddenly rang in my ears!
