Chapter 66: The Seven Ninja Swordsmen gather, easily shattering the Leaf frontline camp

Miyamoto Yukie was completely stunned.

Yes.

He never imagined that the first enemy he would face upon arriving at the Mist frontline.

Would be one of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen, the wielder of the Kubikiribocho, Biwa Juzo!

This...

He really wanted to cry!

He was just an ordinary Jonin, and one who had been promoted based on merit at that.

In terms of raw strength, he wasn't even as good as Uchiha Shisui, that current Leaf Chunin.

But, why?

He couldn't figure out for the life of him why he would encounter Biwa Juzo.

Weren't the Leaf and Mist currently in a standoff, without a real declaration of war yet?

Wasn't sending him to the Mist frontline just for simple defense?

However.

Before he could figure out this problem, several more people walked out one after another.

"This guy is the Leaf frontline commander?"

"The Leaf looks down on us Mist too much, sending out this piece of trash to try and resist the Mist?"

"I actually think it's normal. Right now, the major clans of the Leaf are working with the Hokage's disciples to resist the Rock and Cloud in the Land of Rain, and the Sand has also tied up a portion of the Leaf's main force."

"Our Mist declared war so suddenly, the Leaf probably can't send out their main force."

"If we had known this, we wouldn't have bothered hiding; we should have taken the initiative to attack as soon as this batch of people arrived."

"The Leaf really is getting worse every year. Following Senju Tobirama's death, the Senju clan directly vanished, and a few years ago, they finally produced the 'White Fang of the Leaf' Hatake Sakumo, only to hear he was forced to commit suicide by the Leaf itself."

"Now, facing us Mist, they actually sent this piece of trash to disgust us."

"..."

The Mist group discussed among themselves.

Everyone's face was filled with mockery.

Yes!

Think about the Leaf of the past.

At its founding, Senju Hashirama alone could suppress the entire ninja world, and there was also the equally powerful Uchiha Madara.

And later?

Once Uchiha Madara left the Leaf, the Leaf's strength was cut in half.

After Senju Hashirama died, Senju Tobirama managed to scrape by on past glory, barely maintaining the strength of the ninja world's largest village, single-handedly holding off four opponents to survive the First Shinobi World War.

But, even so.

During the Second Shinobi World War, the Leaf still showed signs of decline, and only managed to barely end the war through Senju Tobirama's own death.

Later, when Sarutobi Hiruzen took power, the Leaf started to become incompetent in every way.

A few years ago, they finally produced Hatake Sakumo, who relied on his own strength to make the ninja world dare not make a sound.

But, who would have thought.

Before everyone could figure out how to kill him, Hatake Sakumo was killed by his own village.

Damn it.

Thinking of this, they wanted to laugh.

And, on the other side.

Unlike the relaxed Mist, Miyamoto Yukie couldn't laugh at all.

He didn't even have the heart to listen to the Mist's discussion.

Just looking at these few leading ninja, his whole body trembled in shock.

Biwa Juzo, Suikazan Fuguki, Kuriarare Kushimaru, Ameyuri Ringo, Hozuki Mangetsu...

Good heavens!

Except for the wielder of the Blastsword: Shibuki, Kushimaru Kuriarare, the Seven Ninja Swordsmen had actually all come.

What did this prove?

It proved that the Mist had long since declared war on the Leaf; otherwise, as some of the strongest in the Mist, how could they appear on the Land of Whirlpools frontline for no reason?

But, damn it!

He was just an ordinary Leaf Jonin; was he worth the 'Seven Ninja Swordsmen' attacking together?

What kind of virtue or ability did he have!

At this moment, he was cursing the village in his heart.

This was what they called defense?

Were they trying to fool a ghost?

However, Miyamoto Yukie, who could become a Jonin, was not a simple novice in power struggles.

Therefore.

He instantly understood that he had been treated as a sacrificial pawn.

The village sent him and this batch of cannon fodder here simply to buy time for the village.

He felt hatred!

He had been loyal to the village, how could the village do such a thing?

However.

Before he could figure out this problem, another group of people walked out from the depths of the woods.

The person in the lead was none other than.

The last of the 'Seven Ninja Swordsmen', the wielder of the Blastsword: Shibuki, Kushimaru Kuriarare!

"Hey, what are you guys doing?"

"Is this chat time?"
