After unlocking No-Origin Sword Creation, the Shichibukai could be said to have fulfilled their mission.
But that did not mean they were no longer useful.
If the Third Ninja World War broke out and Konoha went to war with Kirigakure, the Shichibukai could serve as a surprise force.
They might even help Konoha crush Kirigakure with ease.
Natsuki came back to his senses and picked up a battle report concerning Kirigakure and Kumogakure.
The current situation was that the two sides were locked in an even battle.
In terms of strength, Kumogakure held the advantage.
But Kirigakure had the environmental advantage.
They were fighting by the sea, which favored Water Release ninja.
Compared to Kirigakure, Kumogakure had very few Water Release ninja.
However, both sides were merely probing each other and had yet to deploy their true main forces.
Just then, there was a knock on the door.
"Come in."
Natsuki set down the battle report in his hand.
The door opened.
Uchiha Mikoto walked in.
She stopped before Natsuki and took out an invitation.
"Natsuki," Uchiha Mikoto said, "our clan head asked me to deliver this wedding invitation to you."
"Your clan head is getting married?"
Natsuki was slightly taken aback as he accepted the invitation.
"Yes."
Uchiha Mikoto nodded and said softly, "At the end of this month, August 29th."
Natsuki opened the invitation and glanced at it.
The groom was Uchiha Fugaku, and the bride was Uchiha Ria.
Natsuki remembered that Uchiha Ria was a jonin.
Other than that, he had little impression of her.
"I'll be there on time."
Natsuki looked up and said.
"The clan head will definitely be happy to hear that."
Uchiha Mikoto could not help but smile.
"Mikoto, when do you plan to get married?"
Natsuki suddenly asked.
"I—I haven't considered that."
