"Long knife·Nuibari. Explosive knife·Shibuki. Blunt knife·Kabutowari. Double knife·Hiramekarei."
He read out the names of the knives one by one, as if reading an obituary.
"Four knives were thrown on the battlefield. You three came back alive, but you didn't bring back the knives."
"You know, those knives are more important than your lives!"
As long as you have those seven Ninja Blade and Kirigakure, you can continuously create Seven Ninja Swordsmen. Ninjas can be retrained, but the number of Ninja Blade is fixed.
Their materials do not allow the current Kirigakure to be remade.
And these damn losers actually lost four Ninja Blade.
He originally planned to spend some money to get four Ninja Blade back from Konoha. Even if he retreated from the army, it was not beyond negotiation.
But that damn Sarutobi Hiruzen actually said that they Konoha didn't get four Ninja Blade, and those four Ninja Blade were mysteriously missing.
Isn't this just treating Kutsuki Baidiao like a fool?
Damn Konoha, damn Sarutobi Hiruzen.
"Master Mizukage, the situation at that time--"
A slap in the face.
Kutsuki Baidiao slapped Suikazan Fuguki on the left side of his face with a backhand. The force was so strong that the whole mountain of flesh tilted sideways, and his long orange hair threw an arc in the air.
Five red marks immediately appeared on Suikazan Fuguki's cheeks, and blood oozed from the corners of his mouth.
He didn't dare to cover his face, so he knelt down again and put his forehead back to the ground.
Although Third Mizukage is domineering, it must be said that his strength is extremely strong. In the entire Kirigakure, no one is his opponent.
"You useless thing." Kutsuki Baidiao's voice fell from the top of his head, and every word was like a knife cutting into the flesh, "Why did you come back?"
Suikazan Fuguki's back heaved violently, but he remained silent.
"Why don't you die there?" Kutsuki Baidiao said.
Biwa Jūzō The exposed eye on the bandaged half of the face moved.
Raiga Kurosuki's posture against the wall did not change, but the fingers holding his arms tightened slightly.
"Seven Ninja Swordsmen, seven of us went out, and only three of you are left."
Kutsuki Baidiao turned around and walked back behind the desk, as if his eyes were dirty even if he looked at them one more time.
"How dare you come back?"
He really couldn't understand why these three people had the nerve to return to Kirigakure alive.
The only sound left in the office was Suikazan Fuguki's suppressed breathing.
"Knife, get it back to me within three days."
Kutsuki Baidiao sat down, picked up another document, and stopped looking at them.
"If you can't find it back, the three of you will go to the weapons depot to get three ordinary knives, and give up the Seven Ninja Swordsmen spot to someone with the ability. Get out."
Suikazan Fuguki got up from the ground, hunched back to the door, and then dared to turn around and push the door open.
Biwa Jūzō followed him, Raiga Kurosuki picked up Kiba, and was the last one to leave.
The moment the door closed, all three of them heard the sound of something being broken in the office.
The corridor is very long and very dark. Most of the buildings in Kirigakure are built against mountains. The internal passages are narrow and damp, and a layer of moisture hangs on the stone walls all year round.
There was an oil lamp every dozen or so steps, and the flames were blown swaying by the draft, making the shadows of the three people look longer and shorter.
No one spoke.
Suikazan Fuguki walked in the front, her long orange hair spread behind her back, like a dirty flag.
The slap mark on his left cheek was still red, and the blood at the corner of his mouth had dried and condensed into a thin brown line.
He didn't wipe it.
"Lao Da, why are you no longer as arrogant as usual? To be honest, if the three of us had just launched a sneak attack, even Mr. Mizukage would have drank a pot."
Raiga Kurosuki said with some confusion.
The three of them are already elite Jonin, and with their own Ninja Blade, their strength can be considered as a penumbra or even a weak shadow. If they make a sneak attack on Third Mizukage, they might really be able to succeed.
"Stop farting."
Suikazan Fuguki paused for a moment, then continued walking forward.
He didn't look back, but his voice drifted from the front and was blown away by the draft in the corridor.
Not to mention that Mizukage's Office just ambushed at least eight Jonin, even after we kill Mizukage, what are we going to do, become rebel nins? Live a wandering life?
Biwa Jūzō and Raiga Kurosuki looked at each other.
The two eyes met in the dim corridor, and they both saw something unspoken in the other's eyes.
They keep walking.
When we walked out of Mizukage Building, the unique thick fog of Kirigakure was coming over from the sea.
The fog here is different from other places. It has the salty smell of sea water and is so thick that you can hold water with your hands.
Pedestrians on the street turned into blurry shadows in the fog, their footsteps were sucked away by the fog, and the whole world became quiet and depressing.
Three people stood on the steps at the door of Mizukage Building, no one took the first step.
Where are you going? Back to your respective residences?
Seven Ninja Swordsmen has a special residence in Kirigakure, but now there are only three of the seven people left, and the building is empty even if we go back.
Kushimaru Kuriarare still has the needles and threads he collected in his room, Munashi Jinpachi's walls are covered with unfinished explosive symbol designs, Jinin Akebino's blunt knife holder is still empty, and the fish in the tank Hozuki Qianren raised has probably starved to death.
Suikazan Fuguki raised his hand and rubbed the blood scab at the corner of his mouth with the back of his hand.
This movement caused the slap mark on his left cheek to be affected, causing it to hurt again.
There was no expression in his eyes, they were empty.
Just then, a person walked out of the fog.
She has long hair, white clothes, and a leisurely pace as if she were walking in her own yard.
The clan pattern of the Yuki Clan was faintly visible on the lapel. Mizunotsuki Shigure walked up to the three of them and stopped.
There was a very faint smile on his face, not flattery or sympathy, just a kind of calmness that was hard to explain.
"Thank you three for your hard work."
Mizunotsuki Shigure said that the voice was neither high nor low, just enough for three people to hear.
"A drink for your face?"
Suikazan Fuguki looked at him and said nothing.
Biwa Jūzō's one eye narrowed slightly. Raiga Kurosuki's finger tapped lightly on the Kiba knife handle, making a very slight metallic sound.
Mizunotsuki Shigure did not urge or say anything more.
He just stood there, his long hair wet by the mist, his smile unchanged.
This person is the patriarch of the Yuki Clan, the holder of Kekkei Genkai Ice Release, and plays an important role in the descendant family of Kirigakure.
But at the same time, Yuki Clan is also one of the companies most suppressed under the "Blood Mist Village" policy.
Third Mizukage Kutsuki Baidiao has never made any secret of its suspicion of the blood family. Yuki Clan has been excluded from the core power circle for many years.
