Juzo scanned the Hozuki clan group as they approached—but his eyes narrowed in when he noticed that Yukina wasn't among them.
He turned his cold gaze on Zabuza, his voice low and sharp. 'Zabuza... where is Yukina?'
Before Zabuza could respond, Rangetsu stepped forward and answered respectfully, "Juzo-senpai, I dispatched a team of chunin to escort Yukina back to the village for proper treatment."
"She sustained serious injuries during the battle. We've managed to stabilize her for now, but she needs proper medical treatment as soon as possible."
Juzo let out a quiet sigh of relief upon hearing the news. Kangetsu then stepped forward, his voice calm but firm as he asked Rangetsu.
"Rangetsu, give me the casualty report,"
"Except for Yukina, who was injured, we suffered no casualties, Uncle," Rangetsu replied with a small smile.
Kangetsu gave a small nod of approval upon hearing Rangetsu's report.
"Juzo then turned to the Kiri shinobi and commanded, 'We need to return to the village immediately and inform the Mizukage of Yukitaro's betrayal.'"
Rangetsu and the others exchanged glances, surprised by Juzo's words. Kangetsu's bloodthirsty smirk only deepened as he turned to Juzo and said, "The reason the clan head sent us as your backup, Juzo-senpai, is because Yukitaro started acting strangely after your team left the village for this mission."
Juzo's scowl deepened as he processed the information. With a firm tone, he said, "I will visit Zangetsu-dono later to express my gratitude, but for now, we must rush back to the village and report to Mizukage-sama." His eyes narrowed, urgency clear in his voice as he prepared to move without delay.
Kangetsu and the others nodded, their expressions sharp and focused. Without a word, they all shunshined away in a white puff of smoke, leaving only faint ripples in the air behind them.
________
With Yukina
An hour later, Amegetsu and his team arrived at the village gates. Without wasting a moment, they rushed Yukina to the hospital for immediate treatment.
When they entered the hospital, Amegetsu looked at the nurse — she was an extremely beautiful, middle-aged woman.
The nurse had long, flowing black hair, large expressive eyes, elegant eyebrows, cherry-like lips, an exquisite nose, smooth porcelain skin, and a curvaceous figure that exuded grace.
The nurse's beauty was so striking that the entire team stood in a daze, completely entranced.
Amegetsu quickly snapped out of his daze and ordered the nurse, 'This kunoichi is badly injured—she needs immediate treatment!'
Without hesitation, the nurse stepped forward after hearing Amegetsu's command and immediately began examining Yukina's injuries.
She was stunned after examining Yukina's condition. When Amegetsu and his team saw the shocked expression on her face, they grew nervous. Amegetsu stepped forward and asked anxiously, "Is she going to be alright?"
The nurse took a deep breath to calm herself, then replied, "It's a miracle she's still alive after losing this much blood. I can't guarantee anything. I need to call Izawa-san to examine her—I'm just a nurse, sir."
Amegetsu and his teammates nodded grimly at the nurse's response. Without wasting a moment, she gently lifted Yukina and carried her toward an empty treatment room, with Amegetsu and his team silently following close behind.
________
In the treatment room
The nurse laid Yukina gently on the bed. She then turned to Amegetsu and his team, her expression serious, and said,
"I will go and call Izawa-san to examine this girl's condition. Please wait here."
After receiving a nod from Amegetsu and his team, the nurse quickly exited the treatment room to call Izawa and have him examine Yukina's condition.
A middle-aged man entered Yukina's treatment room, his expression calm but focused. He wore the standard Kiri chunin attire, his flak jacket neatly fastened and sleeves slightly rolled up. A pair of thin, rectangular glasses rested on the bridge of his nose, giving him a scholarly yet authoritative appearance. His eyes, sharp and experienced, immediately scanned the room before settling on Yukina's fragile form lying on the bed.
The middle-aged man had an average-looking face, short brown hair, and brown eyes. His lean, muscular physique was visible beneath the standard Kiri chunin attire.
Izawa quickly started examining Yukina condition by executing a medical jutsu after a few minute he undo the jutsu and said to the nurse.
"Yuriko, check this girl's blood type and begin the transfusion immediately. It's a miracle she's still alive."
"Once we start the blood transfusion, we'll begin her treatment. Now move!"
Yuriko quickly drew a sample of Yukina's blood and hurried out of the room.
Amegetsu then stepped forward and asked Izawa, "Izawa-san, how is she?"
Izawa smiled and said, "Don't worry, she'll be alright. However, she will need to be hospitalized for about a week before we can discharge her. After that, she'll still need to rest for another week before she can start training again or go on missions."
When Amegetsu and his team heard this, they sighed in relief and nodded to Izawa in acknowledgment.
Izawa then said to the Hozuki clan chunins, "I don't mean to sound rude, but I'll need you to leave. I have to fully concentrate on treating her — her injury is quite deep."
Amegetsu and the rest of his teammates nodded their heads in understanding. Amegetsu then said, "We understand, Izawa-san. Please take care of Yukina."
Izawa gave Amegetsu and the other chunins a reassuring smile after hearing these words, his calm demeanor easing the tension in the room.
After seeing Izawa's reassuring smile, Amegetsu and the Hozuki clan chunins turned around and exited Yukina's treatment room.
Five minutes later, Yuriko returned to Yukina's treatment room carrying the blood transfusion equipment. She carefully prepared the IV line and connected it to Yukina's arm. With steady hands, Yuriko began the blood transfusion, monitoring Yukina's vital signs closely to ensure she responded well to the treatment.
Izawa then looked at Yuriko and said, "Yuriko, I need your help with this patient. When you perform the Mystical Palm Jutsu, I want you to visualize your chakra as a fine needle. Let's begin."
Yuriko nodded firmly, her expression resolute, and together with Izawa, she began treating Yukina's injuries.
Unnoticed by either of them, a silver-furred Dire Wolf cub quietly slipped into the treatment room. It then formed a hand seal and turned invisible.
_______
With Juzo
When Juzo and the rest of the Hozuki clan chunins arrived at the Hidden Mist Village gate, Juzo was surprised to see that Fuguki and his team had arrived there as well.
Fuguki smirked when he saw Juzo and began walking toward him, his voice loud and gruff as always.
"Oi, Juzo! What a coincidence, huh?" he called out with a toothy grin. "How are you doing? And where's little Yukina?
His sharp eyes quickly scanned the group behind Juzo, clearly searching for the familiar face of the young kunoichi.
Juzo's eyes darkened as he spoke, "Fuguki-senpai, Yukina was injured during our mission. You need to come with us to the Mizukage's office and hear our mission report. it is quite serious it concerns Yukina… and that bastard, Yukitaro."
Fuguki narrowed his eyes when he heard this. After a moment, he gave a slow, deliberate nod in Juzo's direction, signalling that he understood the gravity of the situation.
He then turned to his team and ordered, "We also need to report our mission's success to the Mizukage. Let's head to the Mizukage's office."
As soon as Fuguki gave the order, both teams immediately used shunshin and vanished in a white puff of smoke.
_______
In the Mizukage's office
The two teams stood respectfully in front of the Mizukage in his office.
After Fuguki finished delivering his mission report, the Mizukage's expression darkened. He locked eyes with Raiga, his glare cold enough to freeze blood.
"BAAM."
He slammed his hand on the desk and shouted, 'What the hell were you thinking, Raiga? Do you even have a brain in that thick skull of yours?!'
Raiga waved his hand at the Mizukage and said, "Chill out, Mizukage-sama. Look on the bright side — I took out all those IWA bastards with a single jutsu. You should be rewarding me, not yelling at me."
When everyone present heard what Raiga had just said, they stared at him in stunned silence, unsure whether to laugh or cry.
Suddenly, Kangetsu couldn't control himself—he burst out laughing. A tic formed above the Mizukage's eyebrow the moment he heard the laughter. His expression darkened, and without warning, he unleashed a wave of killing intent at full force as he roared, "Shut the hell up, Kangetsu! This is a serious matter!"
Everyone in the room felt fear grip their hearts under the weight of the Mizukage's killing intent—everyone except Fuguki, who merely narrowed his eyes in response.
The Mizukage narrowed his eyes at Raiga and said coldly, "All the contribution points you earned on this mission will be divided among your teammates. You won't receive a single point."
Raiga widened his eyes and opened his mouth to argue, but a single glare from Fuguki silenced him.
The Mizukage continued coldly, "You will not receive any payment for missions you complete for an entire month. And lastly… you're going to take on an apprentice."
Raiga clenched his fists, his face twisted with disbelief and anger. He couldn't hold back any longer and shouted, "You can't do this to me! This is completely unfair—even if you are the Mizukage!"
The Mizukage scoffed when he heard this and said, "then prove me wrong."
All those present were surprised at the Mizukage reply and Raiga asked in confusion, "what do you mean?"
The Mizukage looked sternly at Raiga and said, "Prove to me that you are a responsible Jounin, Raiga. No one doubts your shinobi skills, but your mentality is questionable."
"Prove to everyone that they're wrong about you. You nearly killed all your teammates on your last mission. If Haru hadn't been such a skilled medic, we would've lost several Jounins."
As a Jounin yourself, you should understand how valuable Jounins are to any hidden village—they are the backbone of every hidden village.
Raiga lowered his head and began apologizing. "I am sorry, Lord Mizukage. I will work hard to prove to everyone that I am a responsible Jounin."
The Mizukage and the others in the office smiled when they heard Raiga apologizing sincerely.
The Mizukage then grabbed three files and handed them to Raiga. He then said, "These three files contain information about three suitable candidates for you to choose as an apprentice."
"Read through these files carefully, and when you decide which of the three you want to take as your apprentice, come and see me."
Raiga sighed but nodded his head in reluctance.
The Mizukage looked at Haru, a smile spreading across his face. "You did well, Haru. I would have promoted you to elite Jounin, but unfortunately, your combat skills aren't quite at that level yet. So instead, I've decided to let you study all the medical books and jutsus your team retrieved from the Uzumaki clan archive—for free."
Haru's eyes lit up with gratitude and determination, knowing this opportunity could be the key to sharpening both her knowledge and her skills.
Fuguki gave unnoticeable smirk after hearing the Mizukage decree.
The Mizukage's sharp gaze fixed on Kangetsu, his voice steady but edged with authority. "Now, I'm quite curious, Kangetsu. What are you doing here? I know Zangetsu sent you out on a mission, but I never asked what kind of mission it was. So tell me—why are you in my office?"
Kangetsu smirked, stepped forward, and began explaining the mission he was sent on and what happened during it.
Juzo then stepped forward and told the Mizukage what Ken had told him before they started battling.
"Rangetsu and Kotaro also began reporting to the Mizukage about Yukina's and Zabuza's battles during the mission."
After they finished the report, Fuguki and the Mizukage were visibly enraged, radiating a dense, suffocating killing intent that filled the room.
"BAAM."
"BOOM."
The Mizukage slammed his fist hard on the desk, causing it to explode into tiny pieces of wood from the force of his punch.
"HOW DARE THIS TRAITOR ACT BEHIND MY BACK! HE IS SEEKING HIS OWN DEATH!" the Mizukage yelled in rage, then gave a loud order.
"ANBU."
Four ANBU squads suddenly appeared in the office. The Mizukage then turned his sharp eyes to Raiga and ordered, "I want you to summon the rest of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen to my office immediately. Tell Goro this is important—he better not slack off on me now."
Raiga started laughing maniacally when he heard the order and said, "It's funeral time."
When Fuguki heard Raiga laughing maniacally, he yelled angrily, "Get going, Raiga! This is serious."
Raiga nodded and he disappeared in a white puff of smoke.
The Mizukage then looked at Haru and ordered, "Haru, go to the hospital and start treating Yukina's injury. I want her as good as new. Do you hear me?"
Haru nodded respectfully to the Mizukage and she shunshined away towards the hospital.
After a few minutes, Raiga returned with the other seven ninja swordsmen. The Mizukage stood up and said to them and to the ANBU, "We will all charge at the Yuki clan compound and capture Yukitaro."
When Fuguki heard this, he shouted fiercely at the Mizukage, "What? He deserves to die for betraying a fellow Kiri shinobi!"
The Mizukage's voice thundered through the room as he fixed Fuguki with a fierce glare. "Of course he will die a painful death, dumbass! But right now, our priority is uncovering exactly what else that traitor had leaked. Only then can we prepare the perfect countermeasure for the future." His eyes burned with urgency, leaving no room for doubt.
Fuguki calmed down after hearing this and he nodded his head in agreement to the Mizukage.
The ANBU squads, all seven swordsmen, and the Mizukage used Shunshin and disappeared in a white puff of smoke.
Zabuza stood in a daze at how things had turned out. Kangetsu then slapped him on the back and said, "You need to calm down, kid, if you plan to rise in the ranks."
Zabuza looked respectfully at Kangetsu and nodded his head, his eyes full of determination.
Kangetsu smirked, looked at his fellow clansmen, and ordered, "We need to report everything that has happened to the clan head. Let's go."
After hearing Kangetsu's order, all the Hozuki Clan chunins used Shunshin to swiftly return to the Hozuki Clan compound.
Kangetsu grabbed Zabuza's shoulder and said with a smirk, 'You're coming too, kid.'
Zabuza didn't have time to complain because Kangetsu shunshined to the Hozuki clan compound while grabbing him.
