Sixteen Years Old, The Fourth Generation of Mizukage

"Oh, did this happen?"

In the research room, Orochimaru, who had just destroyed a batch of failed products, raised his eyebrows and said with a somewhat surprised expression to Kaguya Rei, who came to inspect the progress of the experiment:

"Continuously attacking and killing your Kirigakure jounin near the Land of Wind is not something ordinary wandering ninjas and small ninjas in the village can do... No wonder you transferred Shisui out of my place, he should be considered Is he the strongest ninja under your command, Rei-kun?"

"No, the strongest one at the moment is probably Kisame Kisame who has got the Samehada muscle."

Kaguya Rei picked up Orochimaru's experiment record, looked at the related entries about Byakugan cloning, and said casually:

"Both of them are very good at using the Heaven's Curse Seal, but Kisame is older than Shisui, and he is more mature in chakra refining and physical development. In addition, he has a unique ability that is very suitable for his own combat. Even if there is only one person, he has the ability to suppress the rampaging three-tails. In contrast, Shisui lacks a suitable ninja sword, and his Sharingan has not yet developed to the level of a kaleidoscope. In terms of hard power, , is slightly weaker than Kisame for the time being."

"But you are very optimistic about his potential, right?" Orochimaru, who was dressed in white, showed a perceptive smile.

"Aren't you also very optimistic about Shisui's potential, Orochimaru?"

Kaguya Rei waved the research record in her hand and said with a speechless face: "If I don't transfer him away from you, the progress of cloning the Sharingan will soon surpass the progress of cloning the Byakugan. Do you think I Are you really not angry because you used my funds to do the experiments you want to do, Orochimaru?"

"There is nothing we can do about it, Lian-kun."

Orochimaru spread his hands with an innocent expression that had nothing to do with him, "Compared to Hashirama cells, which are full of vitality and can be compatible with any foreign cells and grow with them as long as they provide chakra and nutrient supply. Your cells are too aggressive, and their activity must be weakened to a minimum so that they will not immediately kill foreign cells. However, after the activity is reduced, it will be difficult for it to grow..."

"If you don't mind using the Byakugan cultivated using Senju Hashirama's cells as a medium first, I can cultivate a pair of Byakugan of decent purity for you in about a month, but the kind you want It is estimated that it will take another one or two years of technical research to have a chance of using your own cells to cultivate a completely suitable Byakugan."

"...Then let's cultivate a pair of white eyes first and see how good they are."

Kaguya Rei also knows that it is very difficult to use his current cells to cultivate a Byakugan that is completely compatible with him. However, he is not too demanding about Orochimaru in this matter, and seeing that Kaguya Rei's attitude is not bad , Orochimaru also put away the relaxed expression on his face, and asked seriously:

"But then again... Rei-kun, do you really feel free to let Uchiha Shisui carry out this kind of mission alone, which may become even more difficult than an S-class mission? Or, what about other Kirigakure members? Ninja, didn’t you protest against this?”

"I mentioned it, but I denied it."

Kaguya Rei shrugged, narrowed his eyes and said:

"Shisui needs to complete an identity that is closely related to Kirigakure and has enough gold content to secure his position among the seven new ninja swords I gave him and be completely accepted by other ninjas in the village, and this time this person An attack like a provocation against Kirigakure is an excellent opportunity for him to prove himself.”

"And it's not like I didn't provide him with reinforcements at all, it's just that the reinforcements were not within Kirigakure."

"Reinforcements that are not within Kirigakure?" Orochimaru thought for a moment and showed a somewhat surprised expression, "You mean... the person from the Akatsuki organization in the Land of Rain?"

"Akatsuki is a peace organization whose mission is to maintain peace in the ninja world, and will take the initiative to stop the signs of war when necessary..."

Kaguya Rei casually threw a test tube on the table and said meaningfully: "Now there are people attacking and killing Kirigakure Jonin in and around the Kingdom of Wind, trying to provoke a war between the Kingdom of Wind and the Kingdom of Water. How could they not take action against such wanton behavior?"

“I didn’t provide them with the initial capital and technical assistance for free.”

…

"So, this is it."

In the tallest building of Amegakure Village, Nagato opened his hands to Yahiko who was processing documents, and said helplessly:

"Kaguya Rei just sent me all the relevant information about someone attacking the Kirigakure Jōnin in the Land of Wind, and expressed the hope that I can work with the members of the Seven New Ninja Swordsmen he sent to find this group of people in the Wind Country. The unknown ninja who stirred up trouble secretly..."

"Oh, he can be quite troublesome."

Yahiko, who was much less youthful and more mature than two years ago, raised his head from the pile of documents in front of him and said with a plaintive sigh:

"After forcing Konan to go on vacation, all her work has been handed over to me. If Nagato also goes out to enforce justice, wouldn't I have to do the work of three people by myself?"

"No way, who told us that Xiao is such an organization with the core purpose of maintaining world peace?"

Nagato sympathetically took away a pile of documents that needed to be processed from Yahiko's desk, sighed and said:

"When someone tries to bring the ninja world back to the war-torn era and profit from it, bring the pain of war to these wanton fanatics and let them know that the peace of the ninja world will never be allowed to be destroyed by anyone. , is originally the root and core of our Xiaoan life..."

"So I just complained a little that my workload is going to increase again, instead of telling Nagato not to go out."

Yahiko smiled bitterly and stretched out. Halfway through, he seemed to suddenly remember something. He subconsciously wanted to reach out and rummage among the piled files on the table, but this action made him tired from sitting for a long time. His body reacted suddenly with an overwhelming response, and after a cry of pain, he fell to the ground together with his chair, and his whole body twitched irregularly due to back cramps.

"Yahiko!? Are you okay!?"

Nagato quickly pulled up his fallen friend and asked worriedly.

Yahiko waved his hand with a ferocious expression, gasping for air, while tremblingly pointing to an information scroll hidden in the pile of documents on the table, and motioned to Nagato to open it and browse it.

Unexpectedly, Nagato opened the information scroll according to Yahiko's instructions, and quickly browsed the text recorded on it. However, as he looked at it, his brows gradually wrinkled, and he became a little thoughtful and solemn. expression.

The information scroll recorded that a Jonin team from Konoha was killed near the border between the Land of Rain and the Land of Wind, and that several bodies were found in a valley in the Land of Rain and then moved to Information about the bodies of Konoha ninjas here.

"Not only were the ninjas of Kirigakure encountered attacks near the Kingdom of Wind, but also the ninjas of the Kingdom of Fire were not spared?"

"Hiss, yes, and the deaths of those Konoha ninjas happened recently. When I saw this before, I was still thinking about contacting Konoha to see what their reaction was. …”

Yahiko, who had regained his breath a little, struggled to stretch his convulsing body while panting and said to Nagato:

"But since Kirigakure has sent elites of the level of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen to deal with this attack, it means that they don't think this is a trivial matter... Maybe, this Behind this incident, there will be a very difficult enemy involved, so be careful, Nagato."

"rest assured."

Nagato gave a thumbs up to Yahiko, with strong and reassuring confidence in his words:

"The power of the Samsara Eye has been fully used by me. Apart from Kaguya Rei, I will never lose to anyone again."

Damn it, perfect attendance today is a bit hard to maintain...
