Chapter 98 The chess game is out of control

"…I'm sorry, Third Mizukage-sama."

Yagura's lowered eyes flickered slightly, and he still said in a respectful and low tone: "The target's actions are very covert. It is obvious that they have been prepared for a long time, not a sudden whim. It will be very difficult to track them down."

"Also, Suikazan Fuguki's big sword Samehada, Kuriarare Kushimaru's long sword Nuibari, Munashi Jinpachi's explosive sword Shibuki, and Kurochu Raiga's thunder sword Kiba."

"I don't know what means the other party used, and they have cut off the connection with the summoning scroll."

Kirigakure really attaches great importance to these seven ninja swords, and left a summoning contract on the seven ninja swords. Even if the Seven Ninja Swordsmen died, it didn't matter, they could still summon the ninja swords back.

As long as the seven ninja swords are still in their hands, they can train the second Seven Ninja Swordsmen.

As long as they find seven candidates who are suitable enough, the tacit cooperation is even enough to deal with the "Kage".

When Yagura received the news, he immediately notified Anbu to summon the swords, but the four ninja swords did not respond.

"Has the connection with the ninja swords' summoning scrolls been cut off?"

The Third Mizukage muttered to himself, and then fell silent as if he was lost in thought.

Or rather, Uchiha Madara, who was hiding in the dark, already understood what this meant.

——"Contract Seal".

This technique was developed by the Uzumaki clan, which can cut off the contractual relationship between the target and the summoning, making it impossible for the target to continue to summon the contracted object.

Not to mention the four ninja swords lost by Kirigakure, even the summoning contract between him and the Nine-Tails can be directly cut off by this high-level sealing technique.

This evil thing was developed by Uzumaki Ashina and left to Senju Tobirama to deal with him specifically.

This is why Uchiha Madara hates the Uzumaki clan so much.

"...You didn't care about the four lost ninja swords, but you care about the life and death of the Uzumaki clan?"

Noticing the reaction of his teacher, Yagura lowered his head and thought secretly in his heart: "Sure enough, it's still a bit inconsistent."

Those were the seven ninja swords that Kirigakure spent a lot of energy and resources to create with great difficulty. Only the Blunt Sword Kabutowari, the Twinsword Hiramekarei and the Executioner's Blade Kubikiribōchō, are left. These three swords were the simplest to use but also had the lowest upper limit.

Seven Ninja Swordsmen, who had been painstakingly cultivated since the Second Mizukage was in power, had not yet made a name for themselves and Kirigakure on the battlefield.

Just because of a sure-fire action, they were killed and only a few were left.

They lost both the swords and the wielders.

If the Kirigakure high-level officials knew this news, they would definitely be so angry that they would vomit blood.

However, hearing such bad news, the Third Mizukage's reaction at this moment was even calmer than Yagura expected.

"By the way, Yagura, I heard that your methods have become more and more bloody recently?"

Just as Yagura lowered his head to think, a voice suddenly interrupted him, and the deep meaning in the tone made him tremble.

"Sorry, Third Mizukage-sama."

Yagura quickly reacted, lowered his head and answered in a calm tone: "Because those ninja guys have begun to stir again recently, only by suppressing them as soon as possible can we stabilize the internal situation of the village."

"Now that Suikazan Fuguki and others are dead, it can be expected that they will test your bottom line. I hope you can give me a transfer order to allow me to coordinate the forces of Kisame and others..."

After these words that sounded unclear about ambition and loyalty came out, Yagura felt that the burden on his shoulders became much lighter.

"You have great ambitions, Yagura." The Third Mizukage's voice sounded meaningful, and he said in a deep voice, "Okay, but you must put investigating the whereabouts of the Uzumaki clan at the top of your future missions."

Hearing this, Yagura lowered his head and responded excitedly, "Yes, teacher, please rest assured, I will do my best!"

"Well." The Third Mizukage turned his back to him, waved his hand and said calmly, "Go."

Click.

When the sound of the door closing came from behind, a figure walked out from the shadows.

"White Zetsu." Uchiha Madara's face was gloomy, and he said softly, "What's going on?"

As soon as the voice fell, the White Zetsu poked his upper body out from the ground, and his tone could not hide his suspicion: "Madara-sama, it's just as that baby-faced man said."

Hearing this, Uchiha Madara frowned: "What is that guy Tobi doing? Isn't he responsible for investigating Konoha? Has he found any unusual movements?"

Tobi is also a member of the White Zetsu. Unlike ordinary White Zetsu, Tobi is the only White Zetsu with a "name".

Madara is still quite concerned about him. With Tobi's ability, most ninjas in the ninja world are not his opponents.

After all, Tobi inherited the wood style ninjutsu of that man. Even if he can't compare with Senju Hashirama himself, that level is enough to deal with most ninjas.

"Tobi said that he was trying to poop in Konoha. He said that he must know what it feels like to poop today, and he wrote a few thousand words of gratitude to make me envious." White Zetsu answered Madara's question truthfully.

After saying that, he blinked and looked at Madara with hope. In fact, he also wanted to know what it feels like to poop.

Who asked White Zetsu to have no excretion system? This question seemed to be their obsession.

After all, Madara was once the Asura of the Ninja World so he must know the feeling of pooping.

"..."

Uchiha Madara stared at White Zetsu in silence for a while, and White Zetsu also looked at Madara with innocent and harmless eyes.

The atmosphere fell silent.

"... Let Tobi hurry up."

Finally, Madara turned his head first, looked forward and whispered: "Find a way to sneak into the Uchiha clan and advance the plan to find the agent."

Whether it was the loss of contact with White Zetsu around Nagato or the failure of the plan to destroy the Country of Whirlpool, it was completely beyond Madara's expectations.

The situation in the ninja world was somewhat out of control, and even he felt a sense of urgency.

But now he was only hanging on to his last breath, and it would be normal for him to die suddenly at any time.

In order to ensure that the plan could be implemented smoothly, he decided to advance the plan to find an agent.

In this way, even if something unexpected happened to Nagato, he could still command the agent to remedy it in time.

"I originally wanted to let it go for a while, but now it seems that I can only adjust the plan." Uchiha Madara frowned and whispered, "This feeling of being out of control is really disgusting."

Seeing that Madara was in a bad mood, White Zetsu, who did not get an answer, scratched his head and was about to burrow into the ground to find Tobi, but his half-submerged body suddenly stagnated.

"Hiss." As if receiving some unexpected news, White Zetsu couldn't help but take a deep breath, and at the same time successfully attracted Madara's attention.

"..." The wrinkles on Uchiha Madara's face deepened, and an ominous premonition surged into his heart again. He said in a deep voice, "What news did you receive?"

Hearing the urgency in Madara's tone, White Zetsu suddenly came back to his senses, and answered with a look of doubt: "Tobi just sent a message, he said that Konoha was invaded by the Kingdom of the Sky..."

Hearing this, Uchiha Madara's brows relaxed immediately, and he secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said casually: "Didn't we know this information in advance? It's just a fool who overestimates his own abilities and leads a group of fools."

Although he doesn't like Konoha now, with Konoha's strength and foundation, it's not that a random scumbag can rise up by stepping on Konoha.

"No, no, no, it's different!"

White Zetsu shook his head quickly, reorganized his words and said: "Tobi said that Konoha was invaded by the Land of the Sky... Oh no, it should be invaded by the Sky legion, and then, the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki lost control and ran wild, and Konoha suffered heavy losses beyond expectations."
