Three days later.
The Hidden Mist's invading army of Konoha, or rather, the Konoha Root's Mist Division...
Under the coordination of Terumi Mei, Kisame, Zabuza, Kaguya Kimijiro, Hyuga Hizashi, and numerous Root members, has been fully reorganized.
The effects are quite outstanding.
With a collective betrayal of the two major Hidden Mist clans, Terumi and Kaguya, accompanied by constant brainwashing from the Hidden Mist Anbu geniuses, and the open flattery from Hozuki Mangetsu, the ninja sword prodigy...
"Aomi-sama's Water Cannon Jutsu and Steaming Danger are even more powerful than those of Hozuki Gengetsu recorded in our family books!" This has been Hozuki Mangetsu's favorite saying recently, as he walks a broader path.
With Aomi's pledge on the Uchiha honor, the former Hidden Mist ninjas' mindsets are rapidly changing.
When faced with an insurmountable crisis, people always like to find excuses for themselves.
Aomi's combat power is certainly unbeatable...
Especially after experiencing the power of Tobirama No.1 for the first time, they realized that Konoha's collective strength is not to be underestimated.
From the personal strength of the leader to the collective combat power and the strategic maneuvering...
All of it highlighted an insurmountable gap!
Under these circumstances, Aomi's use of the Hozuki Gengetsu series ninjutsu to kill enemies provided them with a psychological buffer.
How could this be a counterattack?
Upon closer reflection, the dispute and skirmish between Aomi, who possesses the Dead Bone Pulse, Lava Release, and Hozuki Secret Technique, and the Third Mizukage, can completely be seen as an internal fight for the position of Mizukage!
As for some minor details, the Hidden Mist ninjas instinctively ignored them.
The new Seven Ninja Swordsmen have also been born under proper arrangement.
The Twinsword: Hiramekarei was given to Hozuki Mangetsu by Aomi, while his original Shark Skin was assigned to Kisame.
The Decapitating Carving Knife and Lightning Blades Fangs, meanwhile, were still held by the very sensible Biwa Juzo and Kurosuki Raiga.
As for the Long Blade - Sewing Needle and Blastsword: Shibuki, they were given to Terumi Mei and Kaguya Kimijiro, while the final Bluntsword·Kabutowari was given to Zabuza.
Thus, under Aomi's arrangement, the new Seven Ninja Swordsmen have been established.
Although in Aomi's view only the combination of Kisame and Shark Skin is relatively perfect, capable of enhancing each other's combat power, the rest are, at most, better than nothing...
However, this organization has existed since the time of Hozuki Gengetsu, and the establishment and appointment of new members by Aomi bears different implications and connotations.
Because only the Mizukage can decide the allocation of the Seven Swords of the Mist!
[Heart of Hidden Mist]:
When you control The Hidden Mist Village, the strength improvement of the ninjas under your command will feed back to you, including but not limited to bloodline, Chakra, ninjutsu skills, and physique.
The feedback multiplier is directly proportional to the loyalty of the Hidden Mist Ninjas to you.
This talent can enable the final showdown, and upon completion, you will receive a special reward—the Ocean Contract.
The reason Aomi is relatively patient with those Hidden Mist Ninjas is due to this Ocean Contract reward...
To initiate the final showdown, the first step is to maximize the loyalty of these Hidden Mist Ninjas and then decide, based on the situation, whether to execute a reversal...
In this world where the Otsutsuki Clan might invade at any moment, momentary warmth and human sentiment are luxuries; only strength matters the most.
"Everyone, join me in taking back our Hidden Mist Village."
On the frozen high platform, Aomi, dressed in a dark blue Uchiha Clan uniform, pointed to the sky and said solemnly.
Below the platform, it was impossible to distinguish between the original Hidden Mist and Root ninjas, who stood together in a chorus, responding, "Together with Aomi-sama, take back our Hidden Mist Village!"
Aomi nodded, formed Hand Seals, and ordered, "Tobirama No.1, prepare for landing!"
The former Hidden Mist ninjas were still somewhat confused about what Tobirama No.1 was. Was it another kind of bomb?
Moments later, a black dot appeared in the sky, gradually expanding larger and larger...
A space-air mothership, several hundred meters wide, appeared in front of everyone, blocking out the sun.
"What...what is that thing!"
Kisame's small eyes widened to the fullest, mumbling, "Is this also a ninja tool?"
Terumi Mei and Kaguya Kimijiro also stared blankly at the massive battleship.
This wasn't because Tobirama No.1 was so powerful, but it represented a sense of new age clashing with the old age...
At this point in time, the technology in the Ninja World is still relatively primitive, and such tech-laden creations were completely unfamiliar.
While once upon a time there was the Hidden Sky Village, it was merely a flash in the pan.
Through the ruins of the Hidden Sky Village, Orochimaru and Aomi, utilizing Konoha's manpower and resources, reproduced a war tool that could shock the entire Ninja World...
This is the gap between a small village like the Hidden Sky Village and Konoha.
When the same technology and advancements are supported by multiple times the resources, the resulting product is vastly different.
Tobirama No.1 dominantly settled on the ground scorched by Amaterasu's flames.
Aomi slowly walked towards Tobirama No.1.
Behind him, the former Hidden Mist ninjas embarked on this astonishing creation with mixed feelings of anxiety and anticipation.
On the spacious platform.
They witnessed the complete preparation process for various bombs.
Orderly Root flying ninjas meticulously tended to the landing giant birds, skillfully loading bombs.
The flying wing unit was also polishing their ninja tools and carefully loading senbons in a designated area...
