"Emergency mission?"
Kaito and Kisame looked at each other.
What kind of urgent mission would be sent to an Anbu team like them that is carrying out a mission deep within the Land of Fire?
Harpoon didn't create any suspense and just went straight to explaining the situation.
"The mission was issued directly by the Third Mizukage-sama. We will go to the designated location with Team Hana to provide intelligence support to the Seven Ninja Swordsmen."
"The Seven Ninja Swordsmen? All of them?"
"Yes, for this special mission, all six active members of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen will be dispatched."
When Kaito heard this, his head buzzed and only one thought remained.
‘What a rip off!?’
Time goes back to this morning.
Land of Water, Kirigakure Village, inside the Mizukage Building.
The Third Mizukage, who was sitting behind the desk, held the intelligence scroll in his hand, looked at the elder Genji beside him, and spoke slowly.
"Have you confirmed the accuracy of the intelligence?"
Elder Genji nodded slightly, his expressions were no longer as kind and gentle as usual.
"Yes, Third Mizukage-sama. We have repeatedly confirmed it through the spies planted in Konohagakure. The information that the team members under Fuku accidentally obtained is 80% to 90% true."
"Although I don't know the specific reason, Tsunade, one of the Legendary Sannin, is currently unable to participate in the battle. This also explains why she only moved around in the medical camp and never participated in the battle when she was on the front line of Land of Wind."
Having said this, Elder Genji paused for a moment and continued speaking.
"In addition, the Sunagakure puppeteer family that we contacted earlier through the smuggling incident also shared with us the intelligence they collected on the battlefield over there."
"Since the war over there has been temporarily suspended, only Jiraiya remains at the front line. Tsunade has already led the wounded back to Konohagakure Village."
"And the other party also gave us Tsunade's return route discovered by Sunagakure Village intelligence personnel, hoping to continue our friendship."
The Third Mizukage sneered when he heard this.
"Maintain friendship? Just because of them?"
The elder Genji also knew why the Third Mizukage sneered. After all, the other party did not even hide his purpose.
"They obviously want to use us to get rid of Tsunade. Even if Tsunade loses her combat power for some reason, she is still the biggest threat to Sunagakure with her medical ninjutsu."
The Third Mizukage finally just nodded, not dwelling too much on the other person's little thoughts.
"It doesn't matter. Since we have the chance to cut off Konohagakure's arm, we can't give up no matter what."
"It is still unclear whether Tsunade's condition is permanent. If she recovers, she may appear on the battlefield of the Land of Whirlpool."
After making up his mind, the Third Mizukage did not hesitate any more and started arranging tasks immediately.
"Have Kuriarare Kushimaru and Akebino Jinin arrived at the front?"
"Yes, they arrived last night after receiving the news from the front line."
Elder Genji replied quickly while flipping through the information he had received previously.
"Except for Samehada that has no successor, the other six ninja swords are all on standby at the front line."
"Then let's send the route map to the front line, let Kuriarare Kushimaru lead the team, and all the Seven Ninja Swordsmen will go out to eliminate Tsunade!"
The elder Genji did not immediately go forward to give orders, but instead asked a question that made the Third Mizukage a little disappointed.
"Third Mizukage-sama, there is a small chance that Tsunade is still capable of fighting, and even if the information is true, Tsunade who has lost her combat power should be surrounded by Konohagakure's protection personnel."
"And even if the Seven Ninja Swordsmen except for Samehada User were able to kill Tsunade, if it causes too much commotion in the Land of Fire."
Elder Genji did not continue speaking, but both of them knew that the most powerful among the Seven Ninja Swordsmen were undoubtedly 'Samehada' and 'Hiramekarei' Users.
Now, not only Samehada has no successor, but the new Hiramekarei user is also unreliable.
Whether or not they could kill Tsunade was one thing.
Even if they succeeded, if the action was discovered by Konohagakure and all six people were killed in the Land of Fire, the blow to the Kirigakure Village might be even heavier.
The Third Mizukage wanted to catch these six pieces of trash and give them a good scolding, but that would be of no use.
So he had no choice but to continue to add.
"Besides the Fuku team that sent back the information, isn't there another team near Konohagakure Village?"
"Yes, Third Mizukage-sama. It's the team that the medical boy is in."
"Okay, give these two teams an emergency mission. Have them cooperate with the Seven Ninja Swordsmen!"
"Yes."
Seeing that the Third Mizukage had made all the arrangements, the elder Genji immediately began to write the task scroll at his desk, and summoned two Anbu to issue the order.
Let’s turn our attention back to Kaito.
Even if we have guessed that all the Seven Ninja Swordsmen will be mobilized this time, it is very likely the time when they were kicked into the "Three" by "Might Dai" in the original work.
However, Kaito, who was not clear about the actual situation of the mission, still held on to a glimmer of hope.
'It may not be that mission, after all, the number of people is wrong!'
‘Besides, even if this is the mission, in the original story, it is the Seven Ninja Swordsmen who are unlucky, and we, the Anbu who are following them, may not get into any trouble!’
'And at least three of them were still alive, right?'
Kaito is like this. The more he comforts himself, the more disappointed he feels.
But after all, his strength is no longer what it used to be.
Kaito believed that if he was prepared, even if he met 'Might Dai', as long as he could dodge the first wave, the other party would not be able to do anything to him with his flying ability.
This is the reason why Kaito, knowing that this time was full of dangers, still dared to maintain his duty as an Anbu and obey orders obediently.
Just when Kaito was still thinking about what kind of situation he would face next and how he should deal with it.
The three of them were gradually approaching the meeting point.
But before the three of them could get close, a huge rumbling sound was heard in the distance.
Although due to the terrain of the Land of Fire, the surrounding trees are very dense.
But he could still see a lot of smoke and dust ahead, which seemed to be caused by the collapse of the giant tree.
The 'Anticipation' in Kaito's mind immediately issued a shrill alarm sound.
“Get out of the way!”
After shouting, Kaito ignored the reactions of his two teammates.
He rolled to the left in a panic.
The next moment, a figure appeared in front of them, flying towards them like a cannonball.
Just the violent shock wave generated by its high-speed flight was enough to knock down a number of the surrounding weak trees.
The figure passed by the three people at a very dangerous speed.
It continued to move forward and knocked down more than a dozen huge trees before it finally stopped.
The three people who had just escaped a crisis were all staring in amazement at a straight path in the dense forest that was blasted out by the violent impact.
He turned around again and looked at the figure that had crashed into the big tree in the distance.
At this time, it was already charred black, and even due to the continuous impact, its flesh and blood were blurred and no longer human-like.
However, the two swords that he had placed in front of him, probably to ward off attacks, fell to the ground right in front of the three people's sight.
It seemed to be reminding the identity of the figure.
"Hiramekarei?!!"
