Even the Seven Ninja Swordsmen could not help but feel a chill run through them after listening to the two men sing the same tune and lay out the entire plan. Though they were cold-blooded tools who had killed more people than they could remember, one thing was certain: compared with the death toll this plan would bring, their own kills were utterly insignificant.
West River was the first territory developed by the Skywalker. Vast sums of money and manpower had been poured into it, and after more than a decade of rapid growth, it had become one of the Land of Fire's most advanced regions. Not only was its economy prosperous, but its population had grown to tens of millions.
With such a dense population, if they acted according to Kirigakure's plan, the dead would have to be counted in tens of thousands. Even if the Seven Ninja Swordsmen combined all the people they had killed in their lives, they could never match such a number!
For a moment, the Seven Ninja Swordsmen were stunned speechless by the sheer ruthlessness of the ninja clan faction. Looking at the reactions of the various clan heads, it was obvious that they had discussed this plan long ago!
For an instant, the Seven Ninja Swordsmen even regretted making enemies of these vicious people. But that thought was quickly cut down, and their determination to wipe out the ninja clans only grew stronger. With their cruel natures, these people would never spare the Seven Ninja Swordsmen if given the chance. There was no longer any possibility of reconciliation between the two sides; they simply could not tear off all pretenses for the moment.
"Hehehe..." Fuguki said with a fake smile, "What an excellent calculation, my lords. The Seven Ninja Swordsmen have no objections."
