Chapter 48: The Mist Anbu Chief

Besides that, there were also two extremely "maverick" people standing very loosely by Karatachi Yagura’s side.

"Hey, Mist Anbu Chief."

"Remember what you promised me!" ===== CHAPTER 94 =====

A man carrying a huge broken blade with an extremely arrogant expression spoke to Karatachi Yagura without the slightest awe.

This man had short black hair, no eyebrows, very sharp teeth, and strange red stripes tattooed around his mouth.

There was a large cross-shaped scar on his right cheek. His ears and neck were wrapped in bandages.

This person was the current Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, the wielder of the broken blade, the Kubikiribocho—Biwa Juzo.

The fresh blood on the Kubikiribocho in Biwa Juzo’s hand had not yet faded, and he was stepping on the corpse of a ninja under his feet.

This ninja was one of the guards arranged by the Third Mizukage to be responsible for vigilance around the Lake of Mist, and he had now died at the hands of Biwa Juzo.

And beside Biwa Juzo, there was another ninja whose gender was completely indistinguishable.

The strangeness of this ninja was even worse than Biwa Juzo’s; at first glance, one couldn't even distinguish the gender.

The ninja had a yellow spiky head, wore a mask that could cover his entire face, and his limbs were long; from a distance, he looked like a spider in the jungle.

This person was also one of the current Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, the wielder of the long sword, the Nuibari—Kuriarare Kushimaru.

Kuriarare Kushimaru did not say a word, just stayed quietly beside Biwa Juzo, his eyes coldly looking at Karatachi Yagura, also without any intention of respecting the other party.

"Rest assured, once it’s done."

"I will help you ascend to the position of leader of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen."

"And..."

"From now on, call me the Fourth Mizukage!"

Regarding the arrogant attitude of the two Seven Ninja Swordsmen members, Karatachi Yagura didn't seem to take it to heart at all, instead revealing a ferocious smile and responding with an even more arrogant attitude.

"Hahahahahaha!!!!!"

"Not bad, not bad!"

"This kind of answer makes you score a lot of points!"

"Then let it be so, Lord 'Fourth Mizukage'."

A flash of madness crossed Biwa Juzo’s eyes, and there was also a trace of appreciation in his eyes as he looked at Karatachi Yagura.

Conversely, the Kaguya clan leader Kaguya Ichiro, who usually appeared carefree, was now unusually calm.

"I won't say any more nonsense."

"Everyone, please lend me a hand."

"Once it’s done, the benefits promised to everyone will definitely not be less!"

"The village will also move toward a brand new, beautiful future under my leadership!"

"Now..."

"Let’s send that old fellow, the Third, down to see the First and Second!"

With Karatachi Yagura’s call to arms, his supporters immediately let out earth-shattering shouts.

"According to the plan, attack!"

A flash of brilliance crossed Karatachi Yagura’s eyes; according to his estimation, acting at this very moment was just right.

The Three-Tails' seal was probably at a critical moment, and Mizunuki Taki couldn't free his hands at all.

At that time, taking down the other party would be effortless.

To avoid accidents, Karatachi Yagura had already formulated a reasonable plan.

Following the order, nearly half of the Mist Anbu ninjas quickly scattered toward the surroundings of the Lake of Mist.

In less than five minutes, a huge barrier had already formed with a boom, dividing the Lake of Mist into inner and outer parts.

Anyone outside wanting to enter the interior of the Lake of Mist had to first break the barrier composed of hundreds of Mist Anbu elites.

This barrier was similar to the Four Violet Flames Formation used by Orochimaru to assassinate the Third in the original work, and the effect was also very similar.

It belonged to the secret ninjutsu of the Mist Anbu.

"Clan Leader Kaguya, you stay here and guard the barrier well."

"As expected, the ninjas of the Mizunuki clan will inevitably use their entire clan's strength to come and reinforce once they see something happen to the Lake of Mist."

"At that time, they will be left for you to deal with; I think this should also meet your expectations, Clan Leader Kaguya."

"Rest assured, once I deal with the old fellow inside, I will come out to help you handle the Mizunuki clan."

Karatachi Yagura said with a ferocious smile, his expression extremely confident.

"Rest assured, I will do my best."

"How could the men of Kaguya fear casualties?"

A flash of determination crossed Kaguya Ichiro’s eyes; Karatachi Yagura was no stranger to this kind of look, as he had seen it in the eyes of many Mist Anbu death squads.

Seeing Kaguya Ichiro’s "determination," Karatachi Yagura nodded with satisfaction.

He also secretly muttered with a cold smile in his heart: "The hot-headed youths of Kaguya are really easy to use; they are willing to work so hard with just a little coaxing..."

Little did he know, Kaguya Ichiro’s "determination" was not what he thought.

"Since Yuta’s side has already succeeded, then I have no worries here."

Kaguya Ichiro said to himself in his heart, and the look he gave Karatachi Yagura also carried a trace of extremely hidden pity.

"He probably doesn't know that his plan has already been discovered by the Third."

"What kind of trap will be waiting for this Mist Anbu Chief?"

Of course, Karatachi Yagura didn't notice the anomaly in Kaguya Ichiro at all, still feeling proud of his own plot.

"Broken Blade Biwa Juzo, Long Sword Kuriarare Kushimaru, you two come with me and kill directly to the island."

"I estimate that there, Suikazan and Kurosuki are already waiting for you."

"I will deal with the Third myself."

A flash of sharpness crossed Karatachi Yagura’s eyes.

He had already calculated the cards that might appear in the hands of the Third Mizukage, Mizunuki Taki.

To steadily take down the Third Mizukage, Karatachi Yagura naturally wouldn't play one-on-one with the Third.

Otherwise, why would he invite the Rock ninjas?

For this reason, he even specifically invited the Rock ninja Explosion Release, which countered the Third’s Ice Release.

At that time, when dealing with Mizunuki Taki, the Rock ninjas lurking on the side would become the last straw that crushed the Third Mizukage.

Thinking of this, Karatachi Yagura felt a faint sense of unease in his heart.

Because until now, these Rock ninjas had not appeared in his field of vision.

Although this also met the requirement of "not exposing the cooperative relationship between the two sides" requested earlier.

But he still felt a faint sense of unease in his heart.

"I suppose these guys will act at the critical moment."

Karatachi Yagura forcibly comforted himself, calming the unease in his heart.

He attributed everything to the reason that "Rock ninjas are inherently good at concealment."

(Seeking flowers, tickets, and support, thank you very much!) ===== CHAPTER 95 =====
