Water Shadow Building.
"Lord Mizukage, the order has been passed on to all the major families. The Hozuki clan and the Kaguya clan have begun to assemble their teams. The reinforcements will be ready to go before this afternoon."
A Kirigakure Anbu half-knelt on the ground, lowered his head and spoke respectfully to the Third Mizukage who was sitting behind the desk.
"Good, well done. By the way, let Chief Hozuki take a message to Yagura on my behalf. He will be fully responsible for handling the matter of Biwa Juzo and others disobeying military orders."
The Third Mizukage put down the document he was reviewing, opened his squinting eyes a little, and spoke in a deep voice to the Anbu in front of him.
"yes!"
The Anbu replied in response.
At this moment, another figure flashed out of the Mizukage's office, then quickly half-knelt on the ground and spoke in a deep voice to the Third Mizukage.
"Report to the Mizukage-sama, the beheading sword has been successfully summoned back."
"oh?"
A hint of joy appeared on the Third Mizukage's face, and his pale complexion became much redder.
"Now that the beheading sword has been recovered, quickly hand it over to Chief Hozuki and have him take it to the front lines and hand it over to Yagura. At the same time, tell all the Seven Ninja Swordsmen to strengthen the protection of the ninja swords. This is a lesson."
The Third Mizukage said solemnly. After all, when the villagers received the news that the ninja sword had been taken away, they immediately took out the summoning scroll and tried to get the ninja sword back.
Unexpectedly, the result made everyone, including the Third Mizukage, immediately lose their composure and unable to communicate with spirits!
This instantly caused chaos among the Mist Ninjas. You know, the reason they could allow the Seven Ninja Swordsmen to fight without restraint was because they had the summoning scroll as a guarantee.
If the summoning scroll was cracked, the Seven Ninja Swordsmen would have disbanded in no time. Fortunately, after hundreds and thousands of attempts, the lost ninja sword was finally found.
"Okay, you guys step back."
"It's X2."
The Third Mizukage picked up a document and began to examine it, while the two Anbu left together after responding, leaving the former alone in the office.
"Cough cough cough!"
Suddenly, the Third Mizukage began to cough violently, put down the documents in his hand and covered his mouth, his face turned pale again.
"Huh, huh."
After a while, he stopped coughing, but his body was still shaking slightly.
"Not yet. We have to hold on until Yagura can take this position."
Currently, the Hidden Mist Village is full of blood-stained clans, all of whom are eyeing the position of Mizukage. Although Yagura, as his favored successor, has his own support, he still lacks some military achievements and sufficient prestige.
Appointing Yagura as the commander-in-chief was paving the way for him to become the Fourth Mizukage. His own body had long been ill from overwork. His current state was only sustained by his strong willpower as a Mizukage.
"well"
The Third Mizukage sighed, wiped his hands with a tissue, and then threw it into the trash can. He then continued working.
On the tissue paper in the trash can, a touch of red is particularly glaring...
…
"Okay, that's the plan. Let's all have a good rest today and start the operation on time tomorrow!"
"Okay! X2"
In the meatball shop, after several hours of discussion, the three finally finalized a specific plan.
It was already dark at this time. After saying goodbye to Shinchi and his wife, Ren did not waste time on the street and went straight back to the hotel.
Since this plan still required Fujiwara Kuzumaki's participation, Ren did not return to her room, but went straight to the former's room and started knocking on the door.
"Here I come"
When Ren opened the door, she saw Fujiwara Kuzumaki with tempura in his mouth. It seemed that he was eating.
"You're back"
When Fujiwara Kuzuma saw Ren, his face turned serious and he quickly turned sideways to let Ren enter the room.
As soon as Ren entered, he saw a lot of food and drinks on the table, which made Ren, who had not eaten yet, swallow his saliva secretly.
"Ahem, I'm having a midnight snack, would you like some?"
When Fujiwara Kuzumaki saw Ren's fixed eyes, he couldn't help but laugh and took out a pair of chopsticks and handed them over at the right time.
"That would be disrespectful to refuse."
Ren didn't hesitate to take the clean chopsticks handed to her and started to eat.
Not to mention, I chatted with Shinchi and his wife for the whole afternoon without even having a sip of tea. Plus, I still have to fight tomorrow, so I can't let my stomach go hungry.
After a while, Ren, who had eaten and drunk his fill, lay on the sofa with a look of satisfaction on his face.
"It's time to get down to business, President Fujiwara. The plan has been finalized and we'll start tomorrow."
"Understood"
Fujiwara Kuzumaki nodded, pondered for a moment, and then asked Ren softly.
"Then may I ask what my mission is? I can make some preparations as soon as possible."
"Your mission is..."
"Understood"
After hearing Ren's plan, Fujiwara Kuzumaki showed a hint of understanding on his face, and then his expression became serious.
"I will try my best to get as much as possible, and you must manage the time well."
"I understand. I know what's going on."
Ren nodded, then stood up and said goodbye to the other party.
"Go to bed early, President Fujiwara. Success or failure depends on this!"
"Squeak!"
As the door closed, Fujiwara Kuzumaki went to the balcony and lay down on the rattan chair, slowly closing his eyes. The chair began to sway back and forth with his body.
"Success or failure depends on this one move..."
…
the next day.
After washing up, Ren did not go out for a stroll, but stayed quietly in the room, as if waiting for something.
"Boom boom boom!"
As the knock on the door sounded, Ren's chaotic thoughts were interrupted. She immediately stood up and walked quickly to open the door. Outside the door was Fujiwara's confidant, Youta.
"This is what the president asked me to give you. Please keep it."
As Yangtai spoke, he handed the huge package in his hand to Ren. As soon as Ren took it, she felt a heaviness in her hand.
"Then I'll take my leave now."
"Okay, thank you for your hard work, goodbye"
After closing the door, Ren carried the package to the living room. After opening it and looking at the things inside, Ren couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
"Good guy, worthy of being the head of the Chamber of Commerce, he's really reliable."
Inside was a huge wooden box, divided into nine grids, with a ninja tool placed in each grid.
Kunai, shuriken, detonating tags, smoke bombs, flash bombs, food pills, and even a small medical kit.
"Yes, they are all good stuff."
Ren picked up the kunai and made a knife flower in the air. Looking at the cold light that suddenly appeared on it, he couldn't help but nodded with satisfaction.
There was no other way. He had come out completely light this time, not even bringing the Thunder God Sword, which he had given to Minato for safekeeping. After all, if his identity was exposed because of these ninja tools, it would be more trouble than good.
As soon as Ren entered the Hidden Mist Village, he asked Fujiwara Kuzumaki to help him buy a set of ninja tools. After all, no matter how powerful ninjutsu is, necessary auxiliary items are still necessary.
"Hmm? It's raining."
Ren came to the window and looked at the village where rain and fog were gradually rising, a deep look appeared in the depths of her eyes.
