Completely wiping out the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist was truly something most people could never imagine.
In the original story, Might Duy had nearly managed it all by himself. Unfortunately, three of them still escaped in the end.
Uchiha Sou, on the other hand, had dealt with them in several groups and brought others along to help, but in essence, he had truly wiped them out!
The only surviving member of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen now was Juzo Biwa, but Uchiha Sou had already taken him prisoner.
Most importantly, his sword had been confiscated!
It was fair to say that this lone survivor could no longer inherit the title of Seven Ninja Swordsmen. In fact, if he wanted to keep wielding Kubikiribōchō, he had only one option.
That was to defect and leave Kirigakure!
Of course, Uchiha Sou didn't think Juzo Biwa would have the nerve to stay in Kirigakure if he let him go.
No village would be willing to accept a loser, especially one who had been entrusted with great hopes and then suffered such a crushing defeat.

Fortunately, they had squeezed Kirigakure's forces into such a tight space that, even after they noticed such a terrifying explosion, the reinforcements they could send were pitifully few.
Either the journey was simply too long, or the few stragglers they sent were no threat at all.
There had been plenty of battles along the way, but
