Chapter 183: The Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist Village [67]
"Your chakra is peculiar."
The White Snake Sage exhaled a puff of smoke as he eyed Feng Ye, "Your sensory chakra is no different from that of an ordinary human ninja, but the amount you possess far exceeds the norm... So, are you human or some other creature disguised as one?"
Feng Ye offered a faint smile, "I am most certainly human."
"Is that so..."
The White Snake Sage fixed his gaze on Feng Ye for a few seconds, then blew out another smoke ring, "Well, it seems I can't see through your true nature. It's been a long time since I've encountered a human ninja like you. I assume you're here to learn the Dragon Earth Cave's Mystical Arts? Follow me."
As he finished speaking, the White Snake Sage, still holding his pipe, slid off the bed and slowly swam towards the depths of the temple.
Feng Ye calmly followed.
Although the White Snake Sage couldn't discern Feng Ye's true nature, he was already aware that Feng Ye was Orochimaru's disciple. Soon, he began to explain the process of cultivating the Dragon Earth Cave's mystical arts.
However, the entire process merely consisted of an explanation.
After providing all the necessary information and directing Feng Ye to the most suitable training area, the White Snake Sage casually swam back to his bed and resumed his smoking pastime.
"So, this is the Sage Mode of the Dragon Earth Cave..."
Feng Ye pondered, organizing the information he had gained from the White Snake Sage.
The mystical arts of the Dragon Earth Cave were indeed vastly different from the arts of Mount Myoboku, which he was most familiar with. They focused more on concealment and transformation.
In contrast, the arts of Mount Myoboku emphasized power, so if one were to compare, the Dragon Earth Cave's mystical arts leaned towards the yin, while Mount Myoboku's arts leaned towards the yang.
As for the mystical arts of the Bog Woodland, he could only guess that they pertained to healing and splitting.
"I'll be cultivating here for a while. Your chakra, Lin, hasn't reached the standard for cultivating mystical arts yet, but you can continue to train your Tailed Beast Mode here."
Feng Ye instructed Lin, who had followed him, and then found a place to sit down.
He didn't plan to delve deeply into the Dragon Earth Cave's mystical arts, but he intended to at least complete the initial stage, establishing and organizing a solid foundation.
Lin acknowledged with a reply and then found her own spot to begin her training.
...
Ten days later.
In the mountain range north of the Dragon Earth Cave.
Seven figures were swiftly navigating through the forest, each carrying a different ninja sword renowned throughout the ninja world.
They were the strongest elite force of the Kirigakure—the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist!
"It should be around here."
The watermelon-headed Fukuro, carrying a large shark-skin sword, halted and surveyed the surrounding jungle.
Biwako Juzo, bearing a decapitating sword, shook his head, "I can't sense any chakra from the Three-Tails at all, but we shouldn't be far from it."
Their plan had been to use the Three-Tails to wreak havoc on Konoha, creating an opportunity for the Seven Ninja Swordsmen to strike and deal a devastating blow to the village. It was a plan they were highly confident would succeed.
But who could have anticipated the reappearance of the Silver Flash, who had been missing for two years!
Not only was their plan foiled, but they also ended up losing the Three-Tails to Konoha due to their bungled attempt.
This turn of events was unacceptable.
The Three-Tails represented a significant combat force for Kirigakure, and they couldn't just let it fall into Konoha's hands. However, with Lin always staying in Konoha, they dared not attempt to retrieve her, despite their confidence.
Finally, some time ago, they received intelligence that the jinchuriki of the Three-Tails had left Konoha, and this information immediately spurred them into action.
But in the end, the Third Mizukage still gave the order to act, demanding that they must not let the Three-Tails fall into Konoha's hands. After some discussion, they finally chose to strike.
They were Kirigakure's Seven Ninja Swordsmen! If they were alone...
They were all well aware of their limitations and acknowledged that they were no match for Feng Ye. But with their combined strength, they were as formidable as the entire Kirigakure!
One could say that the power of these seven individuals accounted for half of Kirigakure's might. If they joined forces against the Third Raikage, they were confident they could take him down. With their combined might, they were also confident they could crush Amegakure and invade Sunagakure!
With Feng Ye and the Three-Tails jinchuriki staying in Konoha, they dared not make a move.
The current Konoha had the Sannin, the Third Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen, and the extremely troublesome Golden Flash, Namikaze Minato. They weren't arrogant enough to confront such a Konoha.
However, if it was just the Silver Flash, then it was indeed an opportunity right before their eyes!
If they didn't seize this chance, it might become even more difficult to retrieve the Three-Tails in the future. So, they had to act this time.
Previously, Namikaze Minato had killed two of their members.
But that time, the Seven Ninja Swordsmen hadn't acted together. Instead, they had split into groups of two, and the pair that encountered Namikaze Minato had been killed by him.
For the Seven Ninja Swordsmen, there was a clear difference between two people and seven. If all seven of them joined forces, the outcome of that battle would definitely have been different.
Now, the Seven Ninja Swordsmen were complete again. The newcomers, Momochi Zabuza and Lin Guan Yu, were young, but they were genius ninjas of Kirigakure and could bear the power of the Ninja Swords!
"Let's confirm again. The Silver Flash is a Lightning Release ninja with extreme speed, but he doesn't have space-time ninjutsu like the Golden Flash. As long as we seal him with barriers, his speed won't be of much use."
"Also, he's not good at sensing, so as long as we don't fight head-on, we will have the absolute upper hand... Do you all remember the tactics we prepared beforehand?"
Fukuro, the watermelon-headed one, spoke in a low voice to the other six members of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen.
The Silver Flash was unlike any ordinary opponent, and his level of danger went without saying. So, regarding the battle with Feng Ye, even though they were confident of victory, they still had to be fully prepared.
"Rest assured."
"Hehehe... No matter how fast he is, he can't run if we seal him. Daring to leave Konoha alone with the Three-Tails jinchuriki, he's too confident in his strength."
"As long as we kill the Silver Flash, our reputation as the Seven Ninja Swordsmen will make the entire ninja world fear us, eh hahaha..."
The other six members voiced their agreement, their tones filled with confidence.
Seven people joining forces!
And they already had a lot of intelligence about the Silver Flash, and they had prepared multiple operation plans based on this intelligence! Feng Ye was indeed powerful, but every ninja had weaknesses. Now that they were in the shadows, had the upper hand in terms of information, and had formulated meticulous battle plans, there would definitely be no mistakes.
The Silver Flash of Konoha, renowned throughout the ninja world.
It was time... for him to go to hell!
