Seven Ninja Swordsmen × Six Men √
January of Konoha Year 47.
The situation in the Third Shinobi World War underwent a dramatic change.
First, a few months ago, Konoha's Medical Ninja Yagami Shiraha suppressed the Third Raikage in a direct battle, causing Kumogakure and announce a ceasefire with Konoha.
Afterwards, Konoha suddenly announced that Kushina Uzumaki Nine-Tailed Jinchuriki Kushina Uzumaki, and Yagami Shiraha would leave Konoha and go to the Land of Whirlpools ruins to rebuild the Uzumaki Clan. At the same time, they began to recruit the remnants of the Uzumaki clan throughout the entire Shinobi World.
Those who voluntarily send the remnants of the Uzumaki clan to the Land of Whirlpools will become friends of the Uzumaki Clan Uzumaki Clan gain their friendship.
Before the Land of Whirlpools was destroyed, the friendship among the Uzumaki Clan was indeed of great significance.
However, after the Land of Whirlpools was destroyed, it became worthless.
However, the situation is different now. The rebuilt Uzumaki Clan is not as strong as before, but with Kushina and Shiraha, two top-tier Kage Level powerhouses, in charge, their overall strength is actually stronger than before.
The current Uzumaki Clan is just an empty shell, but precisely because of this, no one dares to provoke them easily.
Everyone knows what it means to have two Peak Kage Level powerhouses acting without any scruples.
Less than a month after Kushina and Shiraha rebuilt the Uzumaki Clan, Orochimaru on the Western Front used twenty Jōnin as bait to lure the Sunagakure forces guarding Kikyō Castle into attacking. In the end, they defeated the enemy with fewer troops, annihilating thousands of Sunagakure ninjas and recapturing Kikyō Castle in one fell swoop.
Thus, Konoha, which was originally caught in a four-front war, has now defeated Kumogakure and Sunagakure.
Konoha only needs to focus on dealing with Iwagakure and Kirigakure now.
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
A huge explosion rang out in the forest, Firelight shot into the sky.
At the same time, sounds of rioting arose.
"Retreat quickly!"
"Quickly, pass on the intelligence!"
"It's the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist!"
"Jōnin with me to cover our retreat!"
"Newlyweds, retreat!"
Three Jōnin squads from Konoha were speeding through the forest. Each squad consisted of four people: one Jōnin and three Chunin.
There are 3 Jōnin and 9 Chunin, for a total of 12 ninjas.
The Hidden Kirigakure Ninja pursued them numbered only seven, giving the Konoha Village an advantage in numbers, but their combat strength was vastly different.
The Kirigakure Village dispatched the renowned Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist the Mist.
The weakest of the seven was Jōnin, and each of them was equipped with a Ninja Blade perfectly suited to their Ninjutsu, making them all Elite Jonin level. Legend has it that the seven of them could conquer a small country in one night if they joined forces.
For Kirigakure, the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist were equivalent to the Three Ninja of Konoha.
Among them, Suikazan Fuguki, Biwa Jūzō, and Raiga Kurosuki possess the strength of Elite Jonin even without the aid of Ninja Blade.
With their Jōnin swords, all three were close to the level of an ordinary Kage Level.
These seven, working together, could even First Shinobi World War with top-tier Kage Level powerhouses. Moreover, Konoha only had three Jōnin, so they never considered retaliating. They simply wanted to hold off the seven so their Chunin could bring the intelligence back.
Rather than risk total annihilation, bringing back the intelligence is the most important thing.
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
In the forest, flames, lightning, giant waves, gales, and falling rocks came one after another.
The area where everyone was fighting was instantly leveled by the aftershocks of the battle.
Raiga Kurosuki raised his Raito, Raiga Kurosuki, high, the blade covered in Lightning Release Chakra.
In an instant, a powerful Lightning Release straight up to the sky, connecting with the lightning in the sky, and a huge arc of electricity descended from the sky!
Boom--!
"Careful!"
Earth Release · Earth Flow Wall!
One of the Konoha Jōnin unleashed Earth Release defensive Ninjutsu.
However, when faced with the arc of electricity falling from the sky, the earthen wall shattered instantly, like paper.
"Ah!"
The Jōnin pushed aside the Chunin in front of him, but was struck by lightning and screamed in pain.
He could have easily dodged it, but he chose to unleash Ninjutsu to save his subordinates.
After a brief delay, he was struck by Lightning Release.
Boom!
At this moment, Exploding Blade Shibuki Munashi Jinpachi, brandished his Bakuto. Scrolls extending from the blade were covered with Exploding Tag, and a huge explosion rang out, Jōnin engulfing the Konoha in Firelight.
Watching the Konoha Ninja flee in disarray from the explosion, Jinin Akebino, standing on the tree trunk, wore a mocking expression.
"Those little mice of Konoha, how pathetic they are!"
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
Might Guy, Shiranui Genma Ebisu, and Ebisu listened to the continuous explosions and intermittent screams coming from behind them, their emotions a mixture of grief and fear.
Are they going to die here?!
"Careful!"
Suddenly, a large number of Exploding Tag fell from above the three people's heads.
Boom--!
The three quickly dodged, avoiding the direct explosion, but were still thrown away by the aftershocks, tumbling to the ground like gourds.
As soon as they regained their footing, the scene before them made the three of them feel as if they had fallen into an ice cellar.
Suikazan Fuguki, Munashi Jinpachi, Hōzuki Mangetsu, Raiga Kurosuki sat on the rock in front of them in different poses.
Kushimaru Kuriarare squatted on the tree trunk, Biwa Jūzō leaned on his large sword, Jinin Akebino squatted beside him.
The Seven Ninja Blade took only a few minutes to kill three Jōnin and six Chunin Konoha.
As for the last three remaining people, they were treated as a final entertainment.
It's like a cat-and-mouse game. The cat usually doesn't kill the mouse outright, but rather plays with it until it gets bored, and then bites off the mouse's neck when the mouse is most desperate.
"Yo~ Konoha brat, you've got guts, huh? You didn't even flinch in fear!"
"Kushimaru Kuriarare said jokingly."
The other six were too lazy to speak, but they were happy to watch Kushimaru Kuriarare tease the Konoha ninjas.
"Sigh, this is boring." Seeing that the three of them looked scared but still gripped their ninja tools tightly under their murderous aura, and were neither scared out of their wits nor begging for mercy, Kushimaru Kuriarare lost interest in toying with them. He gripped his Ninja Blade "Nuibari" tightly, preparing to torture the three of them.
Might Guy's expression tightened, his hands clenched into fists, and he shouted, "Eight Gates - Open Gate! Open Gate of Healing! Open Gate of Life!"
He opened three gates in quick succession, and a surge of violent Chakra immediately erupted from his body.
"Oh? This is Nintaijutsu? What use is Taijutsu at a time like this? Hitting me is probably like tickling me! What a pathetic piece of trash, you can't even use a decent Ninjutsu."
Kushimaru Kuriarare, carrying the Ninja Blade "Nuibari," slowly walked towards Might Guy and the other two.
Boom--!
A deafening roar, like a thunderclap, resounded.
Kushimaru Kuriarare was completely embedded in the ground, gushing blood from his mouth.
All of this was caused by a fist that didn't look very strong.
"What?!" The other six were shocked; they hadn't seen the newcomer make a move at all.
Shiraha stood in the center of the crater, looking at Kushimaru Kuriarare who was barely breathing, and asked, "How's that pressure? Like a tickle?"
"Cough cough cough!" Kushimaru Kuriarare coughed violently, coughing up fragments of his internal organs along with blood.
Shiraha spread his hands and shrugged, looking helplessly at the other six people, and said, "You saw it, he said that Taijutsu attacks felt like tickling. I was just proving that he was wrong. Who knew he was so weak? He died after just one touch of my fist. I didn't mean to."
"Yagami Shiraha?!" Suikazan Fuguki's face darkened. "Didn't you already leave Konoha? Why are you making an enemy of Kirigakure? Do you really think that with the newly established Uzumaki Clan, you can contend with Kirigakure? You actually..."
"You're not that strong, yet you talk as big as the Third Raikage?"
"What did you say?!"
