SJIN: Chapter 21
---
Mizuno smiled slightly. "Alright, then sign here."
He pulled out a contract book.
It was the Blood Contract agreement.
Might Duy signed it without hesitation.
Mizuno's mind was immediately filled with the system's voice.
"Beep—Congratulations, host, you have your second Blood Contract partner. You can have a maximum of six people sign the Blood Contract with you. You can obtain their abilities, and the acquisition coefficient is provided by conversion points. Do you want to use Soul Conversion Points?"
Mizuno currently had 30 conversion points left. He thought for a moment and nodded.
"Use them all."
"Beep—Host has used 30 Soul Conversion Points. You will automatically obtain 30% of Might Duy's abilities."
A flash of light passed, and Mizuno felt his body become more substantial, but it wasn't as profound as when he had obtained Uchiha Kagami's abilities.
However, he didn't mind. After all, Might Duy hadn't grown up yet.
"Host currently has two contract partners. Do you want to place a double slot?"
The system's voice echoed again.
Mizuno thought for a moment and rejected the system's request.
Might Duy's strength was still too weak. There was only one double slot, and there was no need to place him. It was better to place Uchiha Kagami.
The problem was that he had run out of conversion points. He had given 40 to Uchiha Kagami and 30 to Might Duy. He had also used all of his incentive points to stimulate Uchiha Kagami's potential. He needed to get more incentive points and conversion points before the next crisis arrived.
Meanwhile, news of Mizuno killing Kinkaku and Ginkaku caused a stir throughout the ninja world.
Not just in Konoha, but everyone was incredibly surprised.
Land of Wind.
The Second Kazekage, Shamon, rarely called a high-level meeting of Sunagakure.
"You all should know the news," Shamon said to Chiyo and Ebisu in front of him. "After the Second Hokage and Sarutobi Hiruzen, it seems Konoha has another genius ninja."
Chiyo nodded. "It's truly unbelievable. We know how strong Kinkaku and Ginkaku are. When they attacked Tobirama Senju last time, Sarutobi Hiruzen was also present. They couldn't do what this kid did."
On the other side, the young generation ninja, Rasa, fiddled with the machinery in his hand. "I've met this kid. When that guy from the Uzumaki clan exchanged Jinchūriki sealing techniques, it was this guy named Mizuno who messed things up for us."
Rasa was helping Uzumaki Ryūzan purely as a ninja's entrusted task. The goal was to exchange sealing techniques. Although Uzumaki Ryūzan fulfilled her promise in the end, Rasa still held a grudge against Mizuno's interference.
Next to him, Rasa's wife, Karura, held her child in her arms and said as she soothed him. "I don't remember this ninja named Mizuno being that strong. He's strong, but he shouldn't be able to kill Kinkaku and Ginkaku."
Kazekage Shamon waved his hand. "Some ninjas' growth cannot be easily explained by logic. We must be very careful. This person has made me feel a sense of crisis. You need to pay close attention to intelligence on this matter."
Chiyo and the others nodded.
Rasa snorted contemptuously.
The first time Mizuno obtained the Second Hokage's power, he was the first to be knocked unconscious. This had left him with a lingering resentment. "Don't worry, next time I meet him, I'll definitely take his head. I've already found a good method."
Shamon sighed as he looked at his arrogant expression.
"Don't be too arrogant. Our top priority right now is to develop quietly and keep up with Konoha's pace. Chiyo, take out the Uzumaki clan's sealing techniques and let's study them. I want to start with the One-Tail and obtain the relevant Jinchūriki..."
The high-ranking officials gathered together and began to discuss.
...
...
Land of Lightning.
The Third Raikage, A, sat in his office. In front of him were several items.
They were rare treasures of the Land of Lightning. They were the remnants left behind by Kinkaku and Ginkaku when they fled in a hurry, including the Binding Immortal Rope, the Seven-Star Sword, the Red Gourd, and so on.
Everyone in the room held their breath as they watched his solemn expression.
"You know?" A finally spoke. "Kinkaku and Ginkaku are dead."
Blue B rushed forward. "Yes, the intelligence arrived two days ago. It's truly unbelievable..."
"We poured all the village's resources into this, and it was actually done by an unknown ninja from Konoha."
A's body crackled with lightning.
Blue B knew that was a sign that the Raikage was about to get angry.
He quickly knelt on one knee. "Please forgive me, Raikage-sama. It was my negligence. I am doing my best to rectify the situation."
This piqued A's interest. "Rectify? What do you plan to do?"
Blue B wiped the sweat from his forehead. "We have already sent a messenger. Although Kinkaku and Ginkaku are dead, we hope that Konoha will return the Six Paths Tools that originally belonged to the Land of Lightning. This... this is very important to our village."
A looked at Blue B's nervous expression and sighed slightly. "It's good that you thought of this. But will Konoha agree?"
Blue B quickly replied. "They will! The newly appointed Third Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen, is in dire need of international support. He shouldn't take a tough stance towards the outside world, especially towards us, the Land of Lightning. After all... Tobirama Senju also wanted to establish a Lightning-Fire alliance."
His words were not unreasonable. The Third Raikage nodded slightly. "You've done well. Get up."
"Yes." Blue B quickly got up.
The Third Raikage looked out the window, his thoughts drifting.
I wonder if Sarutobi will agree to their request. I also wonder who this guy named Mizuno is...
...
...
The border of the Land of Water.
Uzumaki Ryūzan and Senju Mineshi knelt devoutly on the ground.
On the other side, the former Second Tsuchikage, Mu, stood by the stream. While not as respectful as the two, he still looked seriously at the man in front of him.
On the surface of the water, a figure appeared faintly in the mist.
"How is your recovery?" His voice was devoid of emotion.
Senju Mineshi quickly replied. "Thank you for your concern, sir. I have fully recovered."
"You should know about Kinkaku and Ginkaku."
As soon as those words were spoken, both Ryūzan and Mineshi were clearly shaken.
A hint of malice flashed in Senju Mineshi's eyes. "I know. It was that Mizuno who did it."
"He can't do it alone yet," the mysterious person's voice came. "He has helpers."
Senju Mineshi was slightly surprised, then snorted coldly. "Sir, don't worry. No matter what helpers he has, I will definitely destroy him next time."
The mysterious person didn't pay any attention to him, but continued speaking. "You're not enough going it alone like this. You need to be like him, find some helpers."
These words were clearly loaded. Senju Mineshi looked up, puzzled.
"I've already made arrangements on the Water Country side," the mysterious person's voice came. "You two go to the Lightning-Fire border first and grab the rest of the Six Paths Sage's artifacts."
Senju Mineshi asked. "Sir, is Mizuno there?"
"No," the mysterious person said. "Kumogakure is planning to exchange Six Paths Tools with Konoha. My intelligence shows that Konoha has agreed. Mizuno shouldn't be there, but that guy named Uchiha Kagami will likely appear."
At the mention of this person, Senju Mineshi's eyes lit up. Uzumaki Ryūzan also showed a look of hatred.
"Understood. Don't worry, sir. We will definitely take him down this time."
"Before that," the mysterious person said, "you two go to Sunagakure first. There are things you need there."
Konoha Ninja Village.
Uchiha Kagami gathered three ANBU ninjas.
He had received an order from the Third Hokage, Sarutobi. He needed to go to the border of the Land of Lightning to exchange some things.
This kind of mission was highly confidential, but for Uchiha Kagami, who had already reached the upper echelons of Konoha, it was commonplace.
He often did dangerous work, so he shouldn't have been worried.
But this time, he had a nagging sense of foreboding.
Like the last time he followed the Second Raikage.
It seemed that whenever he came into contact with the Land of Lightning, something unsettling would always happen.
He suddenly wanted to contact Mizuno.
It seemed like only this person could quickly calm him down in dangerous situations.
But thinking of Sarutobi's expression in the office, he hesitated.
Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't seem to trust anyone.
Forget it.
Uchiha Kagami shook his head and called out to the ninjas behind him.
"Protect the Amber Pure Bottle and the Banana Fan. Let's go immediately."
