Yūto looked at Suigetsu Hozuki in his hand with a beaming smile.
Upon hearing Yūto's words, Suigetsu Hozuki, who was in a half-liquefied state, shivered and immediately returned to normal.
"This isn't good... Lord Yūto."
Suigetsu Hozuki said awkwardly.
Now, the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist were completely under Lord Yūto's command. If Yūto really stripped him of his Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist candidacy.
Thinking about the consequences, a chill ran down Suigetsu Hozuki's spine. He felt that he would never be able to leave the Hozuki Clan's gates in this lifetime.
What's more, his dream was to revive the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist!
"What do you think?" Yūto raised an eyebrow, looking at Suigetsu Hozuki.
Suigetsu Hozuki immediately put on a serious expression and said earnestly:
"I didn't react just now, but now I'll let them witness my skills!"
With that, under Yūto's indifferent gaze, Suigetsu Hozuki once again rushed into the melee.
Sounds of metal clashing and Ninjutsu roaring continuously echoed across the training ground.
The individuals in this melee were all strong, and each had a different fighting style. Such high-intensity combat not only increased their combat power but also their combat awareness.
Especially for Ranmaru and Suigetsu Hozuki.
As for Ameyuri Ringo and Kimimaro, their fighting styles were essentially set. What they needed to do was refine their techniques and methods for dealing with various types of enemies.
Regarding Chōjūrō, his strength might be somewhat lacking, but in terms of combat intelligence, none of the people in the melee could compare to Chōjūrō.
Chōjūrō might have become Mizukage precisely because of this point.
Just like Jiraiya's battle with Six Paths of Pain, it could be said that although Jiraiya ultimately died, he had analyzed Six Paths of Pain quite thoroughly.
Of course, combat intelligence is relative. If the opponent's strength is too great, what good is analyzing information?
Yūto stretched. Apart from Kimimaro, the true purpose of the melee was to give these members of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist a basic understanding of their own positions.
Familiarize themselves with everyone's fighting style, provide support when needed, and act as the main force when necessary, to avoid being wiped out in one go.
Several days passed quietly, and the entire Ninja World was as calm as ever.
Besides training the new Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, Yūto also discussed combat techniques with Bubble, or more accurately, Six-Tails Saiken.
...
Konoha Village!
A hall specifically for issuing missions to Ninja.
"No! I'm not doing these missions anymore! I want to undertake more challenging missions!"
A slightly boisterous voice rang out in the hall. Uzumaki Naruto, with whiskers on his face and golden-yellow hair, shouted discontentedly.
"Idiot! You're just beginners! Everyone starts by gaining experience with simple missions!"
Hearing Uzumaki Naruto's words, Iruka, who was sitting next to Hiruzen Sarutobi, quickly stood up.
"Naruto, it seems I need to explain something to you. Different mission ranks require Ninja of different ranks to complete them, and you Genin can only undertake D-rank missions right now."
Hiruzen Sarutobi exhaled a puff of smoke and said indifferently.
"Lord Third, you always lecture me like this! I'm not a child anymore! Don't always think I'm still that prank-loving brat!"
Uzumaki Naruto puffed out his cheeks, looking at Hiruzen Sarutobi with dissatisfaction.
Hiruzen Sarutobi paused, a faint smile appearing on his face. He glanced at a mission scroll on the table and suddenly said:
"Since you say so, I'll give you a C-rank mission then."
Click!
Accompanied by the sound of the door opening, a drunken old man slowly walked in.
...
Mist Ninja Village!
"Lord Yūto, Kakashi Hatake of Konoha Village has left the village with three Genin, accompanied by a client. As for the specific mission, we are currently unable to ascertain it."
A Kirigakure Anbu Ninja suddenly appeared beside Yūto and said respectfully.
"Oh, is this good show finally about to begin?"
Yūto's face showed a faint smile as he spoke softly.
"I understand. You may leave." Yūto waved his hand at the Ninja and chuckled.
Clap! Clap!
Yūto looked at the people fighting in front of him and gently clapped his hands twice.
Swish!!
Ameyuri Ringo and the others, who were in a melee on the training ground, all stopped and looked at Yūto with some surprise.
Today's training had only just begun, so why were they resting so soon?
Suigetsu Hozuki let out a slight sigh of relief. The training during this period had really worn him out. No matter the reason, as long as there was no training, it was a good thing for Suigetsu Hozuki.
"Ameyuri Ringo and Suigetsu Hozuki, come here for a moment."
Yūto said softly to the two.
Hearing Yūto's words, Ameyuri Ringo's face lit up, and she quickly trotted over. After this period of training with Lord Yūto, Ameyuri Ringo clearly felt her strength steadily increasing.
On the other side, Suigetsu Hozuki's face contorted in bitterness. Whenever Yūto called him, it usually meant trouble.
"The two of you, get ready. We'll be leaving the village soon."
Looking at the two who walked over, Yūto didn't waste words and spoke directly.
"Leave the village? Is there a mission?"
Ameyuri Ringo was stunned and asked somewhat confused.
"It's not really a mission. I'm taking you to witness one of the former Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, Zabuza Momochi, the wielder of Kubikiri Bōchō (Executioner's Blade)."
Yūto's lips curved into a faint smile.
"Zabuza Momochi!!"
Suigetsu Hozuki exclaimed, his eyes wide, his face filled with excitement.
"Haven't you always wanted Kubikiri Bōchō (Executioner's Blade)? Well, now's your chance. Whether you can get it depends on your ability. Just don't die by Zabuza's hand."
Yūto looked at Suigetsu Hozuki, who had suddenly become radiant, and said teasingly.
"Hehe, I'm Suigetsu Hozuki!"
Suigetsu Hozuki pouted, his excitement evident on his face.
Ameyuri Ringo, standing nearby, looked at the smug Suigetsu Hozuki, her eyebrows slightly raised. She lifted the Thunder Blade in her hand and pressed it against Suigetsu Hozuki.
Rip!
Accompanied by a burst of electric sparks and a piercing scream.
Suigetsu Hozuki collapsed directly to the ground, his body twitching.
"Is Lord Yūto going personally this time?"
Ameyuri Ringo turned her head, a hint of confusion in her eyes, and respectfully asked Yūto.
"It would be a pity not to go to such an interesting event, especially since it's a grand spectacle."
Yūto's eyes narrowed slightly, his face full of mystery.
