"Besides, don't we still have the Flying Thunder God kunai? If we encounter danger, Kazuki can co over at any ti." Mikoto said, taking out a Flying Thunder God kunai.
Fortunately, those Kirigakure ninjas did not co to investigate for intelligence.
Perhaps no one in Kirigakure believed that anyone could still be alive after the Seven Ninja Swordsn of the Mist made their move?
About twenty minutes later, Kazuki and Rinka reappeared.
Kazuki silently sensed his surroundings and a aningful smile appeared on his face.
"It seems you didn't have any battles after that."
"I don't know why, but after you left, they didn't launch an attack." Nawaki said, scratching his head.
He then pointed to Sahada on his shoulder. and said, "Kazuki, this great sword is amazing, it can even heal ."
Kazuki instructed Nawaki, "After all, it's the most special great sword. You should get along well with it from now on. This thing is very powerful. If you use it well, it's not impossible to surpass your older sister in the future."
"The seven ninja swords might be demanded back by Kirigakure after the war ends. But I will help you keep it. Kirigakure has no right to demand it back."
He intended to keep Sahada, and no one could stop him. Kazuki didn't believe that after Kirigakure's defeat, Hiruzen would have any reason to demand Sahada from Nawaki.
"Rinka, are you okay?"
At this mont, Mikoto handed a scroll to Kazuki, then looked at Rinka with concern.
As a ticulous girl, Mikoto could clearly sense that Rinka's clothing had changed, and there was a hint of unnaturalness on her fair, cold face.
"No… I'm fine." Rinka quickly replied, though her tone was a little unnatural.
The image of Kazuki treating her earlier was sothing she simply couldn't forget. She was completely defiled in front of Kazuki.
She desperately wanted to tell herself that Kazuki was only trying to save her and didn't do anything excessive to her, but she had to admit that she seed unable to maintain her original feelings for Kazuki.
It was fortunate that Kazuki didn't know Rinka's thoughts.
He was only trying to save Rinka. Given Rinka's condition, a bad move could have caused her ribs to injure her internal organs.
Moreover, Rinka wasn't that old, was she?
"Hmm."
Mikoto looked at Rinka suspiciously, but didn't say much, though her sixth sense told her that Rinka's feelings for Kazuki seed to have changed quite a bit.
"Alright, let's leave this place first. We need to find a place to adjust." Kazuki then said to the others.
He first summoned Katsuyu and handed over the mission report and the storage scroll containing the seven corpses to Katsuyu.
As for the remaining ninja swords, Kazuki kept them.
After all, these were his spoils of war, and he was entitled to deal with these ninja swords. Even the Hokage would need to offer sothing in exchange to take the ninja swords from him.
After doing all this, Kazuki hesitated slightly, picked up Rinka in a princess carry, and then walked ahead, signaling the others to follow.
...
When Hiruzen learned from Katsuyu that Kazuki had annihilated the Seven Ninja Swordsn of the Mist, he was stunned.
It wasn't as if he hadn't seen the Seven Ninja Swordsn of the Mist before.
If he encountered the Seven Ninja Swordsn of the Mist alone, even he would be in danger. If he didn't handle it well and was held back by them, he might even face a life-threatening situation.
Yet, after encountering Kazuki, these guys were annihilated.
This left Hiruzen speechless. He had known before that Kazuki was very powerful, and he had guessed that Kazuki had already surpassed him, but he was still surprised and it seed that Kazuki had even surpassed him by a great margin.
At least he couldn't easily annihilate the Seven Ninja Swordsn of the Mist.
Kazuki truly couldn't be stopped. Hiruzen thought of Fugaku, who had been constantly achieving rits on the front lines recently.
He pondered for a mont and made a decision. He must start building montum for Kazuki.
The matter of the Seven Ninja Swordsn of the Mist could not be concealed. Moreover, compared to letting Fugaku beco clan head, Hiruzen needed to support Kazuki both emotionally and logically.
After all, Kazuki was Kagami's son and one of their own. If he chose to suppress Kazuki at this ti, the Hokage faction would fall into disarray.
Even Danzo would do this.
If he doesn't help his subordinate, but instead supports his political enemy, then who would be willing to follow him in the future?
Then, Hiruzen took Mikoto's mission report and read it twice. He pulled out his pipe, and took two puffs, giving an order with complex thoughts.
Thus, the news that Kazuki's squad encountered and annihilated the elite Kirigakure unit, the Seven Ninja Swordsn of the Mist, while scouting for intelligence in the Land of Water, quickly spread throughout Konoha.
First defeating Hanzō the Salamander, then annihilating the Seven Ninja Swordsn of the Mist, Kazuki's reputation spread, and it also brought significant morale to Konoha, which had to fight on two fronts.
If defeating Hanzō the Salamander initially might have been with the help of Tsunade and others, as Hanzō had first fought with the three of them, and Tsunade, Jiraiya, and Orochimaru had significantly depleted Hanzō's strength, allowing Kazuki to defeat Hanzō, then this ti, Kazuki's annihilation of the Seven Ninja Swordsn of the Mist was a solid achievent.
It should be noted that the mbers of Kazuki's team were Genin Minato, Nawaki, Mikoto, and Rinka. Perhaps their strength was decent, but they should still have so gap from Jonin.
Thus, Kazuki's reputation grew even more prominent, and so even began to speculate: who was stronger, Kazuki or Kagami?
Had he already surpassed his father?
To what extent would Kazuki grow in the future?
anwhile, Koharu, a mber of the village's Elder Council, tacitly approved of this matter and even revealed Kazuki's experiences to the younger generation in her clan.
