In the ghastly pale and wan moonlight,
The newly recruited mbers of Seven Mist Swordsn stands at the outer edge of the Kiri village.
The group stares at the premises of a clan building from a cliff as they discuss among themselves.
"Akifumi-sama.... passed his orders to slaughter the subsidiary clans of Terumi clan. Since we aim to weaken their power and influence let's start with the Doku clan this clan would prove quite troubleso if not dealt early."
Mangetsu stares at the buildings of the Doku clan as he orders the rest of the group.
Slick
Kisa licks his lips as he stares at the clan.
"Sahada is quite hungry these past few days I haven't gotten an opportunity to feed it. Looks like the ti for the feast has co slick"
Renjouro frowns as he remarks.
"Kisa I am sure you are aware of the abilities of the Doku clan if not... let remind you Doku clan does not possess frightening fighting capability as a shinobi clan but their Kekkei Genkai 'Poison Release' is a quite fearso ability.
Doku clan mbers can manipulate their chakra and surrounding water to create a deadly poison Even their chakra contains poison Once it cos in contact with water or mist the poison will quickly spread in the surroundings
Their poison mist was feared among all other nations during previous Shinobi wars. One slight mistake and you will be poisoned to death."
Renjouro warns Kisa.
"Don't be too reckless Kisa."
Kisa pats Sahada as he draws it from his shoulder.
"Nah Sahada is way too gluttonous it won't be affected by the poison. Poison will only numb its senses for a bit of ti and will make it drunk."
"Sahada may be immune to poison but the sa can't be said about you." Renjouro remarks.
"Who knows" Kisa has a mysterious smile on his face.
"Focus on the mission we have to do a clean job we three will take care of the main fighting mbers of the Doku clan. The rest of the Anbus will take care of the remaining mbers."
Mangetsu silences them as he plans out their attack.
"You are the leader" Kisa raises his hands in agreent.
"Very well" Mangetsu signals to the rest of the Anbu mbers as he leaps from the cliff.
Kisa and Renjouro follows him.
-----------------
The Moonlight slowly fades away as dawn appears on the horizon.
"Huff huff Bad news Fuji-sama bad news" Wakan breathes heavily as he rushes through the corridors of the Terumi mansion.
Fuji is sipping his morning tea with Elder Genji as they discuss various political matters.
"Bad news Fuji-sama"
Wakan hurriedly pushes away the door and enters the room.
Fuji and Elder Genji frown as both of them stare at Wakan.
"Calm down... Wakan" Fuji calms him down.
"Now explain"
Wakan takes a deep breath as he reports.
"Doku clan Doku clan is gone Fuji-sama"
"WHAT?..." Fuji exclaims as he stands from his seat.
"What's the matter tell every single detail of this matter." He grabs Wakan's shoulder and questions him.
Wakan narrates the entire series of events to Fuji.
Bam
Fuji stomps his foot on the floor as various cracks appear from the ground. Steam rises from Fuji's legs.
"Those noble clans bastards they have done it now we can't maintain our neutral stance any longer those bunch of lunatics murdered an entire clan of shinobis because they feared their prowess Damnit I can't stand them any longer. Now only a war will calm my flas of fury."
"They have crossed the boundary with this move" Elder Genji clutches his staff in anger.
" First Yuki clan now Doku clan they are destroying the very foundation of the village. Doku clan with their 'Poison Release' Kekkei Genkai was one of the major factors which lead to our victory in the Second Shinobi War."
Bam
Elder Genji slams his stick on the floor.
"Imdiately summon all of our forces and the leaders of our ally clans we have to counterattack against the tyranny of Noble faction."
Elder Genji orders his subordinates.
---------------------
Later in the afternoon
Izuna is sitting beside i as he listens to the conversation of various clan leaders happening in the ergency eting.
Hmm
He looks around and is unable to locate Utakata.
'So they sealed the Six-tails inside him. I guess it will take so ti for the seal to stabilize the sealing formulas of Kirigakure aren't as efficient as the Uzumaki clan.'
Izuna muses over the conversation of various clan leaders.
'So the noble faction made their move and directly massacred the Doku clan.'
Izuna folds his hands below his chin as he ponders.
'Doku clan mbers possess the 'Poison Release' Kekkei Genkai I have t and done so missions with their mbers during these few previous months Last night just happened to be the night where I returned to Konohagakure But I never expected such a thing from Noble faction.'
i listens to the conversation as anger seethe in her eyes.
"Unforgivable this act is unforgivable. Those noble faction mbers are a bunch of animals they even massacred the innocent children and even civilians residing near the Doku clan."
Izuna tries to calm her down.
"Lady i we won't let them get away scot-free from this incident. All of them will pay for their cris."
i calms down a little as anger is still blazing in her eyes.
"We will hunt down their anbu mbers one by one I will make them repay this debt of blood."
She turns to Izuna and the group and discusses a plan with them.
"Let's go and investigate the clan district of the Doku clan."
The group departs for the Doku clan district.
------------------------
Inside the Kiri village.
The information of the wipeout of the Doku clan spreads like a wildfire across the village. Various rumors and hoaxes spread among various civilians.
Many civilian shinobi starts to have second thoughts about the village.
"We don't want to get embroiled in this power struggle of shinobi clans. It is better to leave this bloody village as soon as possible." One of the civilian shinobi talks with his friend.
"Yes I have similar thoughts I don't want to die an untily death. We civilians have no backing, and the higher-ups will order us to do their bidding during this war. I beca a shinobi to feed my family not to get tossed around by the whims of those higher-ups. Who knows when will they send on a suicide mission?" His friend nods to him.
Similar conversation occurs throughout the village as many shinobi plans to desert the village.
i and the group walk through the village as she listens to one such conversation.
i frowns, and an ugly expression appears on her face.
"If only the Fourth Mizukage could handle this matter more efficiently then such a situation wouldn't have happened in the village. He is still yet to address the massacre of the Doku clan when apparent involvent of Noble clan is visible."
'Hmm Yagura is under Obito's control and I have so doubts regarding this Akifumi of the Noble faction. I must check on him.'
Zengetsu tightly clutches his sword.
"Looks like I will soon get the opportunity to fight him. That sword style it was his there is no mistake in it."
Izuna raises his head and looks at Harusa.
'He hasn't talked a single word since the eting. I am sure he is upset about Utakata becoming a jinchuruki. I am not sure of his backstory... and I have no interest either.'
"Ti to put our plan in action." i signals them.
The group walks towards the outskirts of Kiri and arrives in a dilapidated slum area.
The area reeks of blood, piss, and poverty. Izuna frowns and turns towards i.
"Do you think it will work?... your idea to negotiate with the lower caste of Kiri. Most of them hate Kiri to their core and if they are provided with an opportunity to slaughter then they won't hesitate to do so."
Shh
i places a finger on his mouth as she lowers her voice and whispers to him.
"Exactly these groups of people are enemies of Kirigakure or to be exact they are enemies of the higher caste. The Noble faction has abused them since the era of the First Mizukage and over ti their hatred turned into a deep-seated grudge." i smiles at him as she remarks.
"You an to say that you will use the people of lower caste to fight against the Noble faction." Izuna raises his eyebrow.
i nods her head.
"Yes these people have enough hate inside them to annihilate the Noble faction. If I negotiate with them then they will be able to help us deal with the Noble faction."
"Will this idea of your work? What if these people backstab you and follow the Noble clan won't our middle-class faction fall in trouble?" Izuna questions her intention.
"No they won't." i shakes her head.
"I have seen the harassnt and abuse of Noble faction on these people. Never in their sane mind will they betray us. Alright let's talk with them."
i walks up to a nearby lower caste shinobi who has been scrutinizing them with a vicious gaze for a while.
"We have a deal for you. Take us to our leader." i cuts the chit-chat and jumps directly on point.
"Who are you?... We have nothing to talk with higher class people get out of here you are not welco here." The shinobi waves his head in annoyance.
'Co on I don't have ti for this. I will do it my way.'
Izuna activates his Sharingan.
'Genjutsu: Sharingan'
He casts a genjutsu on the shinobi. The shinobi walks deeper into the slums.
"Follow him. I think he is leading the way."
Izuna follows him. i tilts her head in confusion but follows him nonetheless.
'How did he change his mind so suddenly?'
