Since the Third Mizukage had declared war on Konoha, many of the Mist Village ninja were prepared for an all-out fight with Konoha.
But when Yagura was appointed as the frontline commander, he had no intention of engaging Konoha directly. Instead, he kept sending people on harassing raids and sneak attacks, using hit-and-run tactics.
As time went on, more and more people in the village grew dissatisfied, particularly the Seven Ninja Swordsmen.
Although they had lost Samehada, Mist Village had chosen new members to join the Seven
Ninja Swordsmen.
"How cowardly."
Jūzō Biwa leaned against the ship's railing, purposely making a comment.
"It seems the enemy has been spun around by our esteemed commander and will soon be defeated without a fight."
"Ha ha ha!!"
Jūzō's words drew laughter from the others.
Although Yagura was appointed as commander, many in Mist Village didn't respect him.
The Seven Ninja Swordsmen, in particular, didn't see eye-to-eye with him.
And it wasn't just the Seven Ninja Swordsmen-many others were also amused.
"I know you want to kill Konoha's Takuya Yagami and reclaim Samehada. I also know you're unhappy with me, and you want to engage the enemy head-on instead of being sent on sneaky missions."
Yagura, unfazed by their mockery, provocatively replied,
"Whether you like it or not, you'll have to deal with it because the Mizukage and the elders appointed me as the commander, not any of you."
"Tch, don't get cocky. One day, I'll take your head!" Jūzo scoffed, directly confronting Yagura in front of many people.
Yagura didn't care. He crossed his arms and coldly said,
"Only weaklings resort to poisonous words to provoke others. To be honest, I don't have much faith in you Seven Ninja Swordsmen."
"Don't forget how Fuguki Suikazan was killed-struck down with one blow, his heart pierced without any sign of struggle."
"Perhaps you think Takuya Yagami is just a kid, and you see me as a coward who didn't dare to fight him."
"I hope when you encounter Takuya Yagami, you'll still be able to laugh."
"And..."
Boom!!
A massive surge of chakra erupted from Yagura, locking onto the Seven Ninja Swordsmen.
"Don't think that just because you're specially trained warriors from the village, you have the right to challenge me."
"If you try this again, I won't hesitate to take your heads back to the Mizukage and elders to atone for your arrogance."
Yagura!!
With that enormous burst of chakra, Yagura transformed from an unimposing little figure into a terrifying monster. The Seven Ninja Swordsmen could no longer laugh.
Each one eyed Yagura warily, secretly preparing for anything.
With the growing influence of the Bloody Mist regime, it was no longer uncommon for Mist ninja to suddenly turn on their comrades.
It had become so frequent that it was barely noteworthy.
After all, many ninja were guilty of such acts.
Speaking of turning on their comrades, the Seven Ninja Swordsmen remembered that Yagura was the most ruthless when it came to taking down his own.
