Suddenly, a Chunin in a vest walked in. He was slightly surprised when he saw the scene in the room.
The jonin Juji Naoya was kneeling in front of Kobayakawa Kazuma, as if swearing allegiance. The chuunin hesitated for a moment, then also knelt down before Kobayakawa Kazuma.
Yagura's reign has ended, and the next Mizukage will most likely be the genius who defeated Yagura, Kazuma Kobayakawa.
"What's the hurry? Tell me." asked Kazuma Kobayakawa.
"Yes!" The Chunin raised his head and said, "The Taketori clan is attacking the village. Now there are only ten Jonins in the village who can spare time, Lord Naoya."
Kobayakawa Kazuma nodded slightly. With Yagura's failure, most of the jonin of the Hidden Mist Village were imprisoned, and only a few jonin who did not participate in the battle were not affected.
The Chunin of the Hidden Mist Village does not have a good relationship with the bloodline limit families. They cannot ask for help from the people of the Dark Night Organization, so they come to Juuji Naoya who is free for help.
"How about this, I'll accompany you for a trip." Kazuma Kobayakawa stood up and said.
"That's great! If you are here, there is nothing to worry about the attack." The Chunin showed a relaxed expression. With Kobayakawa Kazuma taking action, the Taketori clan was nothing to be afraid of.
After all, it was rumored that he was a powerful jonin who killed the Fourth Mizukage Yagura with just one ninjutsu.
Kazuma Kobayakawa knew that the Taketori clan was the family that Kimimaro belonged to, so he became a little more concerned.
The bloodline limit that Kimimaro possesses is the Corpse Bone Vein, and a small part of the ability that allows the body to heal quickly, which is probably the characteristic of a sage body.
Although the bloodline limit is good, it is a pity that the Taketori clan is not strong, and the people in the clan are basically bloodthirsty lunatics.
For a race like this and a power like this, destruction is only a matter of time.
Led by the Chunin, Kobayakawa Kazuma and Juji Naoya followed. The three of them ran all the way until they came to a street east of the village.
The night sky was dark, and the sounds of burning flames and the clashing of metal continued to ring out, and from time to time the sounds of adults and children crying and shouting could be heard.
There were figures fighting everywhere. The people of the Taketori clan were fighting with the people of the Hidden Mist Village. The battle was in a stalemate and both sides suffered casualties.
Although there were no jonin stationed there, the Hidden Mist Village was able to gain an advantage just by relying on the chunins and special jonin.
It can be seen that the movement space of the Taketori clan has been compressed. Even if no Jonin arrives at the battlefield, the war will be decided within a few hours.
Suddenly, a guy with dark circles under his eyes stabbed towards Kazuma Kobayakawa with a knife. He had a bun on his head and a cruel and bloodthirsty smile on his face.
The ninja sword in his hand was out of tune with the person's style, as if it had been snatched away casually.
"Lord Kobayakawa, be careful! The Taketori clan and their..." Before he could finish his words, Kobayakawa Ichizane's ninja sword pierced the man's neck.
The ninja sword was drawn, and the guy with black circles under his eyes fell in a pool of blood. The madness on his face gradually disappeared, replaced by horror.
"Do you mean that their bodies are very hard and ordinary attacks can't cause much damage?" Kazuma Kobayakawa asked as he put away his ninja sword.
"Yes!" The Chunin of Kirigakure was shocked.
He actually killed the guy with a body of steel with just a casual sword. Kazuma Kobayakawa is worthy of being the man who can defeat the Mizukage Yagura.
Kazuma Kobayakawa looked down at the man lying in a pool of blood. It was visible to the naked eye that his wounds were healing, and the bleeding had stopped before the blood loss became life-threatening.
"It looks like it still has some value." Kobayakawa Kazuma nodded. The bloodline of the Taketori clan did not seem to be completely useless.
Since it is somewhat useful, let's try to tame it and make it work for the Hidden Mist Village.
Putting away his ninja sword, Kobayakawa Kazuma jumped onto the roof and asked loudly to the people fighting below: "Who is the chief of the Bamboo Cutter Clan?"
In an instant, most people's attention was attracted to Kazuma Kobayakawa.
The moment they saw Kobayakawa Kazuma, the ninjas from the Hidden Mist Village gained confidence. They never expected that the person who came was Kobayakawa Kazuma, the strong man who killed the Fourth Mizukage.
"I am the chief of the Taketori clan!" A middle-aged man wearing a linen robe and with a rough voice stood up. He pointed the bone knife in his hand at Kobayakawa Kazuma and said with a provocative smile: "You pretentious guy, are you here to die?"
"Why did you come to the Hidden Mist Village?" Kazuma Kobayakawa ignored the other party's provocation and asked directly.
"Do you even need to ask such a simple question? Of course, we want Kirigakure to know our strength!" The middle-aged man said as a matter of course: "Isn't it natural for the strong to plunder the weak?"
Kobayakawa Kazuma frowned. Is it natural for the strong to plunder the weak? These guys really don't understand the situation.
A group that can't even defeat the Chunin and Special Jonin stationed in the village actually dares to say such shamelessly.
"If I defeat you here, does it mean that you are the weak one who is being plundered?" asked Kazuma Kobayakawa.
"Humph! Stupid guy!" The middle-aged man raised his mouth and shouted, "If you can do it, then come and try it. I can't wait to use your corpse as a toy."
Seeing that they could not communicate, Kazuma Kobayakawa did not continue talking. He threw out a kunai with "Kobayakawa was here" written on it.
"Is that all you can do?" The middle-aged man dodged the kunai sideways, his eyes full of disdain.
The next moment, his pupils suddenly shrank, and Kazuma Kobayakawa disappeared from his sight.
Using the Flying Thunder God Technique, Kobayakawa Kazuma teleported behind the middle-aged man, and a light blue chakra ball appeared in his hand.
Rasengan!
Using only the most common Rasengan, Kazuma Kobayakawa knocked the leader of the Taketori clan to the ground, and he instantly fell into coma.
The dust raised by the Rasengan blocked the surrounding vision, and for a moment, the entire battlefield fell silent.
Whether it was the Taketori clan or the ninjas from the Hidden Mist Village, they all stared blankly in the direction of Kobayakawa Kazuma.
"Hey! Am I seeing things? The strongest patriarch of our clan was defeated instantly by a guy from the Hidden Mist." A member of the Taketori clan asked the woman next to him.
"I think... you are not mistaken. This is what I saw as well." The female Bamboo Cutter replied. The bone knife in her hand was shaking. It was an instinctive reaction caused by fear.
Chapter 128 The Snow Clan’s Invitation
Juji Naoya couldn't help but be stunned. Although he had heard before that Kobayakawa Kazuma defeated Yagura, it was difficult for him to imagine the scene of the battle between Karatachi Yagura and Kobayakawa Kazuma as he had not witnessed the war on the battlefield with his own eyes.
It is obvious that the current Kobayakawa Kazuma is far beyond the scope of a jonin.
The Bamboo Cutter clan is a race famous for its defensive capabilities. They have bones as hard as steel and self-healing abilities far beyond those of ordinary people.
Even ordinary jonin, if they do not have very powerful means of attack, can easily be dragged into a protracted war by the people of this clan.
But now, Kobayakawa Kazuma has dealt with two members of the Bamboo Cutter tribe, and he dealt with them the instant he attacked.
With the instant evaporation of their clan leader, most of the members of the Taketori clan lost their will to fight. They looked at Kazuma Kobayakawa warily, as if they were on guard against this man attacking again.
"Try to capture them alive."
As Kobayakawa Kazuma finished speaking, the Kirigakure ninjas roared in victory and rushed forward. With their morale boosted, these ninjas were even more courageous than before.
Kobayakawa Kazuma was looking for Kimimaro in the chaotic crowd. At this moment, Kimimaro should still be a child of seven or eight years old.
There is no doubt that Kimimaro is excellent, and his bloodline limit is special even among the Bamboo Clan.
Looking around, Kazuma Kobayakawa did not see Kimimaro until he opened his Byakugan.
"So we've fallen behind?" In Kobayakawa Kazuma's sight, a ball of relatively abundant chakra fire was running towards him.
Kazuma Kobayakawa ran towards Kimimaro and met him outside the village's defense line.
White hair, green pupils, and a bone sword in his hand, there is no doubt that this is Kimimaro.
"Are you an enemy, man?" Kimimaro asked, holding the bone sword across his chest and staring at Kobayakawa Kazuma vigilantly.
At this age, Kimimaro seems a little too honest.
"I'm not." Kazuma Kobayakawa shook his head and responded indifferently.
"That's good." Kimimaro relaxed, holding the bone sword in his hand, and continued to run forward, as if he was in a hurry to meet up with the main force.
Kobayakawa Kazuma used the technique of instant body movement to get behind Kimimaro. A Rasengan condensed in his hand and hit the back of Kimimaro's head.
In an instant, Kimimaro fell straight to the ground and fainted.
Kimimaro is indeed very outstanding, but at his age, he may not be able to survive the siege of so many ninjas from the Hidden Mist Village. There is no need to start a meaningless battle.
Then, Kobayakawa Kazuma looked at the woods behind Kimimaro with his eyes and said coldly, "Come out."
A man in a ninja vest walked out from behind. It was Orochimaru who had previously betrayed Konoha.
Kazuma Kobayakawa did not find the appearance of Orochimaru strange. Kidnapping children from all over the ninja world was the daily life and hobby of Orochimaru, the human trafficker.
"The Byakugan is indeed powerful. To be honest, apart from Uchiha Itachi, I have never admired anyone so much." Orochimaru put one hand on his waist, his pale face looked quite handsome under the moonlight. His voice was hoarse as he extended an invitation to Kobayakawa Kazuma: "Would you like to come with me? I will take you to witness the wind that blows through the ninja world."
"You may be able to trick a kid with your tricks, but your words don't appeal to me. I don't want to witness the wind that blows the ninja world." Kobayakawa Kazuma smiled and replied, "But if you want to cooperate with me, maybe we can discuss it."
The corners of Orochimaru's mouth curled up, he lowered his head, his eyes became dangerous: "What a pity! You who can defeat Yagura don't need my power for the time being, but one day, you will find the weakness of ninjas, and only a long life can find the meaning of ninjas."
Kobayakawa Ichima smiled. A long life? Isn't that a system reward for having children? Although the reward of life for each child is not much, it is enough.
However, Kobayakawa Ichima didn't have time to chat with Orochimaru. His face suddenly turned cold and he asked in a cold voice: "You should have joined the Akatsuki organization, right? In that case, why are you here today?"
As early as two or three years ago, Kazuma Kobayakawa told Orochimaru the location of the Outer Path Statue. Since Orochimaru may have explored the location of the Outer Path Statue, he may be a member of the Akatsuki organization now.
"Sure enough, you deceived me, Kobayakawa Kazuma!" Orochimaru's face darkened, "You told me the news about the Six Paths Sage just to trick me into the secret of the Byakugan."
Kobayakawa Kazuma also drew his ninja sword, looking around restlessly. In his opinion, what Orochimaru said just now was the same as admitting that he was a minion of the Akatsuki organization.
"Don't worry!" Seeing Kobayakawa Ichima so alert, Orochimaru changed the subject and replied, "My mission is just to check on the Three-Tails' situation. Apart from that, there is nothing else."
"It's better to just do this." Kobayakawa Kazuma put away his ninja sword. He did not fight with Orochimaru here. After all, Orochimaru was really difficult to kill.
However, this incident did remind him that both the tailed beasts and the Jinchūriki were the village's most valuable assets and should be carefully guarded.
After picking up the unconscious Kimimaro, Kobayakawa Kazuma returned to the village. After tonight, he had completely solved the problem of the Taketori clan.
As for the Akatsuki organization, he was not too worried for the time being. The organization was not yet strong enough and did not have the energy to cause trouble for the Water Country.
The most urgent task now is to obtain the position of Mizukage first, then destroy those bloodline limit families in the Hidden Mist Village, and finally become stronger.
Once all these things are done, Akatsuki will no longer be a concern.
There was no one in Kobayakawa Kazuma's house. He had moved his family out of the village when the prison break occurred several months ago. It would take some time for Mei Terumi and the others to return to the Hidden Mist Village.
After resting at home until dawn, Kobayakawa Kazuma got up and continued to recruit talents. This time his main destination was the Kirigakure Prison.
Nowadays, the Kirigakure Prison has been taken over by the Dark Night Organization. The bloodline limit members imprisoned there have been released, and several jonin from the Kirigakure Village have been imprisoned there.
Although these ninjas are still imprisoned for the time being, once they are released, they will definitely be an extremely powerful force. Even if one of the senior ninjas can be won over, the power of a family may increase by leaps and bounds.
The Kirigakure Prison has a dark grey exterior, looking serious and depressing. At the corner of the prison, Kobayakawa Kazuma ran into Yukinoshita Kaori who had just come out of the prison.
Chapter 129 The Value of Samui
Looking at Yukinoshita Kaori in front of him, Kobayakawa Kazuma was slightly surprised, but then he figured it out.
