Chapter 92: Danzō Wants to Show Off?
Leading the group was none other than Yagura Karatachi, who had just succeeded as the Fourth Mizukage not long ago.
As the perfect Three-Tails Jinchūriki, Yagura Karatachi looked like he had a baby face, but in reality, he was not young.
Although his figure was like a young boy, he possessed the aura of a Kage-level powerhouse.
Standing in the middle of so many ninjas, he did not seem out of place at all.
There were the famous Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, and the major bloodline clans: the Hozuki clan, the Yuki clan, the Kaguya clan, the Terumi clan, and so on!
One must know that in this era, Kirigakure had not yet been pitted by Uchiha Obito, nor had it experienced the era of the Blood Mist.
Kirigakure's top-tier combat power might not be abundant, but their mid-tier forces were absolutely terrifying.
"..."
As Konoha Elders, Utatane Koharu and Mitokado Homura naturally had to stand in front of the crowd.
Facing these Kirigakure ninjas with their murderous aura, Utatane Koharu and Mitokado Homura were a little cowardly.
Since becoming Elders, they hadn't fought seriously many times, let alone on such a solemn battlefield.
Glancing at each other, the two Elders understood the meaning in each other's eyes.
"Hmph!"
Danzō snorted coldly directly.
"They are nothing but a bunch of clay chickens and pottery dogs!"
Danzō's mysterious confidence started up again.
Utatane Koharu and Mitokado Homura were quite good at assessing the situation.
"Then Danzō, we will follow behind you first!"
If they could survive, they didn't care what method they used; it wasn't shameful.
"Tch!"
Although somewhat disdainful, Danzō didn't say anything in the end.
Utatane Koharu and Mitokado Homura looked delighted and stood firmly by Danzō's side, obviously preparing to let Danzō cover them.
"..."
Sarutobi Hiruzen, standing to the side, could only express speechlessness.
Too lazy to care, Sarutobi Hiruzen cleared his throat and tried to make his tone a bit more peaceful.
Addressing Yagura Karatachi's direction, he said:
"Mizukage-dono, war is not good. If Kirigakure is lacking supplies, you can just say so. Konoha is willing to make friends with Kirigakure!"
Even at this time, Sarutobi Hiruzen was trying to strive for peace.
Although it was a bit shameful, if he could handle this war through such conversation, Sarutobi Hiruzen would be quite happy.
However...
"Ha! Are you mocking me?"
Hearing Sarutobi Hiruzen say this, a look of astonishment appeared on Yagura Karatachi's boyish face.
Saying that if Kirigakure lacks supplies, just tell Konoha directly?
By saying this, aren't you saying Kirigakure is poor and Konoha is rich?
Although that was indeed the fact, saying it so directly was too much.
"Uh! This old man didn't mean that!"
Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't expect Yagura Karatachi to interpret it that way.
Can you grasp the main point of the sentence?
This old man wants to handle this war in a peaceful way!
"Lord Mizukage, there is no need to dawdle with these people!"
Having not experienced the Blood Mist era, and not yet having been kicked into the 'Three Lucky Treasures' by the Eight Inner Gates of Might Duy, the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist were not only young and aggressive but also extremely loyal to the Mizukage.
Jūzō Biwa, carrying the Kubikiribōchō, gave a ferocious smile.
"A mere old man, there is no need for you to act, Lord Mizukage. We can solve this!"
"That's right!"
Fuguki Suikazan and the others beside him also nodded in agreement.
"Although this Sarutobi Hiruzen was known as the Hero of Shinobi in his youth, he is old after all!"
"What is there to fear about an old Hokage!"
"Leave it to us, the Seven Ninja Swordsmen!"
The status of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen in Kirigakure was not low.
This was the first time Kirigakure was participating in the Ninja World War, so the Seven Ninja Swordsmen wanted to perform well.
At the very least, let everyone know that although the Seven Ninja Swordsmen hold great power, their strength is worthy of that power.
"Hmm! Be careful!"
Yagura Karatachi did not refuse and nodded.
Although the Seven Ninja Swordsmen were all Elite Jōnin, once the seven joined forces, coupled with the special abilities of the Ninja Swords, their power would be different.
"Rest assured!"
Receiving the Mizukage's approval, the Ninja Swordsmen looked at each other and smiled in unison.
With a flicker, they rushed towards Sarutobi Hiruzen.
"Everyone, let's show the Ninja World how powerful our Ninja Swordsmen are!"
"That's right, our Seven Ninja Swordsmen are the strongest combination!"
No one wants to remain unknown.
"Damn guys!"
Sarutobi Hiruzen's face became somewhat gloomy.
The conversation of these people showed no sign of restraint.
To think they wanted to step on this old man to become famous in the Ninja World.
If it were the Raikage of Kumogakure, he would probably have cursed out loud directly.
"Let me do it!"
Just as Sarutobi Hiruzen was preparing to act, Danzō raised his hand to stop him.
"You are the Hokage of Konoha; how can the Hokage be the first to act!"
When speaking, Danzō's tone was somewhat arrogant.
Sarutobi Hiruzen knew that Danzō might have the idea of increasing his own prestige.
But seeing that Danzō was willing to act for him, Sarutobi Hiruzen was quite happy.
"Be careful, these Ninja Swordsmen are not simple!"
"They are merely general Elite Jōnin. This old man can solve such small fry with a wave of his hand!"
Facing Sarutobi Hiruzen's reminder, Danzō spoke arrogantly.
His figure walked forward proudly. Looking at his posture, he really didn't put the Ninja Swordsmen in his eyes.
"Uh!"
His eyelids couldn't help but twitch.
He didn't know why, but seeing Danzō start his mysterious confidence again, Sarutobi Hiruzen always had a bad premonition in his heart.
"Ha? Solve with a wave of his hand?"
"Old guy, you really dare to say it!"
Danzō's voice was also unrestrained.
Being directly called small fry, the faces of the Ninja Swordsmen became somewhat ugly.
"Just an old man whose name we don't even know!"
"Presumptuous!"
Danzō gave a light shout.
The aura of a Kage-level powerhouse exploded with a boom.
"This old man is the Darkness of Konoha, Shimura Danzō! How dare you mere seven small fries be so presumptuous!"
"Wind Style: Vacuum Serial Waves!"
