Uzumaki Chihiro no longer needed to continue living in a cramped space in Rukongai.

However, before leaving Rukongai, he still had one thing to do.

In the current Shinobi World, major Ninja villages were in constant friction,

Every day people died, and coupled with the characteristics of Rukongai, the souls in Rukongai had already increased.

And just a moment ago, a war had also broken out in the Land of Whirlpools.

Many dead Mist ninja Ninja were absorbed by Rukongai.

Uzumaki Chihiro discovered that compared to ordinary people, the quality of these Ninjas' souls was a notch higher.

Moreover, the greater their strength in life, the more reishi they possessed, and the higher their Aptitude to become a Shinigami.

"It seems that strength in life will have a significant impact on the soul after death."

Uzumaki Chihiro fell into thought.

"Hmm? What is that?"

Just at this moment, Uzumaki Chihiro suddenly saw a familiar face.

Long green hair, thick eyebrows, sharp teeth, upper body wrapped in bandages, paired with a black vest on the outside.

What a coincidence, isn't this Raiga Kurosuki?

"Ding! Congratulations to the Host for discovering a high-quality soul. Would you like to view the soul's data?"

Uzumaki Chihiro said in surprise: "You even have this function? View it!"

【Raiga Kurosuki】

【Potential: Lieutenant-level】

【Strength in Life: Elite Jōnin】

【Recommendation: Recruit into Shino Academy to become a Shinigami】

Lieutenant-level potential!

This really is a surprise!

Recruit! Must recruit!

However, this Raiga Kurosuki was quite unlucky.

Killed by the Land of Whirlpools in life, and even after death, he had to contribute to the Land of Whirlpools.

Of course, how could this not be an opportunity for him as well.

Becoming a Shinigami meant that he had transcended species.

After all, Shinigami are long-lived species...

Once the characteristics of Shinigami are spread out, I am afraid countless people will rush forward wanting to become Shinigami.

Unfortunately, not everyone possesses the Aptitude to become a Shinigami.

Uzumaki Chihiro called Rukia Kuchiki over and had her note down Raiga Kurosuki, as well as some other people with low potential but a chance.

Just waiting to unlock Shino Academy to absorb them.

At the same time, during the recording process, Uzumaki Chihiro also discovered another member of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist.

【Munashi Jinpachi】

【Potential: Lieutenant-level】

【Strength in Life: Elite Jōnin】

【Recommendation: Recruit into Shino Academy to become a Shinigami】

Not bad, another Lieutenant-level!

Could it be that if one's strength in life reaches Elite Jōnin, they will possess Lieutenant-level potential?

Uzumaki Chihiro fell into thought.

Unfortunately, there were too few references, and he couldn't be one hundred percent sure.

Uzumaki Chihiro took another walk around Rukongai and did not see the other two members of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist.

It seemed they were not absorbed by Rukongai.

After all, Rukongai only had a 50% chance.

He was not disappointed either, instructed Rukia Kuchiki to handle the matters well, and turned around to go pick a house in Seireitei.

On the other side, the remaining few Mist ninja Ninja who escaped the Land of Whirlpools also returned to the Hidden Mist Village.

Biwa Jūzō and Suikazan Fuguki were disheveled and knocked on the door of the Mizukage's office with gloomy expressions.

Please send flowers! Please give evaluation votes!

Chapter 20 Biwa Jūzō: Is there a crack for me to crawl into?

Land of Water, Hidden Mist Village.

Mizukage's Office.

The Third Mizukage finally opened his perpetually half-closed eyes and said in disbelief: "What you said is true?"

Of course, he could also understand in his heart that as the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist.

Since Biwa Jūzō and Suikazan Fuguki stood before him, while the other four were nowhere to be found, this matter had already been indirectly confirmed to be true.

Yet he subconsciously refused to believe it, even less daring to believe it.

These were the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist!

Even if one was missing, there were still a full six Elite Jōnins!

As a result, they just went to perform a mission in the already destroyed Land of Whirlpools, and were almost completely wiped out?

If the place they went to was called Konoha, that would be somewhat understandable.

But that was the Land of Whirlpools, a Land of Whirlpools that no longer had the Uzumaki Clan!

Yet these facts placed before him forced him to admit that the Land of Whirlpools probably had undergone a drastic change!

He took a deep breath; such a massive loss gave him a headache.

Land of Whirlpools, Gotei 13.

What kind of people were this organization? And what was their purpose?

And what connection did they have with the Land of Whirlpools?

Magical Ninja Blades, Ninjutsu that did not require hand seals, and Lieutenants with powerful strength.

Even Captain-class figures in the Land of Whirlpools, whose existence wasn't even known, hadn't even made an appearance!

The Third Mizukage had his secretary organize the intelligence brought back by Biwa Jūzō and the others onto a scroll.

Then he had the Anbu notify all upper management to come to the office for a meeting.

When everyone had arrived, the Third Mizukage distributed the intelligence scrolls to them and said expressionlessly: "Take a look."

The other upper management took the scrolls with puzzled expressions, and then their expressions grew increasingly grave.

Someone even cried out in alarm: "The Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist were almost completely wiped out? And the enemy suffered zero casualties?!"

Hearing these words, the faces of Biwa Jūzō and Suikazan Fuguki darkened slightly.

But this was indeed their incompetence.

Losing to them was one thing, but they couldn't even manage a one-for-one trade.

After everyone had more or less finished reading, the atmosphere inside the office grew increasingly oppressive.

At the same time, a doubt arose.

Could an unknown organization really be this strong?

And those so-called Ninja Blades.

Aside from the Hidden Mist Village, could there actually be someone in the Shinobi World who understood Ninja Blades better than them?

They subconsciously refused to believe it, but the victims of the matter were right before them.

Believe it or not, they had to.

The Third Mizukage glanced at the upper management present, and then said: "The Land of Whirlpools was originally a strategic fortress designated by our Hidden Mist Village, but now a mysterious force has appeared."

"And this mysterious force is extremely powerful. Just by dispatching Lieutenants, in a one-on-one situation, the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist are completely no match!"

Speaking up to here, Biwa Jūzō and Suikazan Fuguki lowered their heads even further, feeling as if they were sitting on pins and needles.

The Third Mizukage paused for a moment and continued: "Moreover, the six Ninja Blades of the Hidden Mist Village have also been confiscated. Everyone, tell me what we should do."

Six? Shouldn't it be five?

Everyone instinctively glanced at Biwa Jūzō and Suikazan Fuguki.

When they saw Biwa Jūzō's empty back, they suddenly understood.
