Kuroko took the two swords and nodded. "Don't worry, Lord Kusuo. I will take good care of Lady Hinata."
Kusuo nodded. He hadn't been back to see her for a long time. He didn't know how she was doing now. Fortunately, Shion was there to help look after her, so he wasn't too worried. "You all should also pay more attention to Orochimaru recently." He didn't know what he was up to. Not only had he resurrected the Seven Ninja Swordsmen, but their strength had also improved considerably.
"Yes, Lord Kusuo," Kuroko said, slinging the two swords behind his back. He bowed to them and then took his leave.
"You should let your injuries heal properly now," he said, turning to look at Natsuhi. He could clearly feel that although she looked unharmed on the outside, after these two battles, some of the meridians in her body had suffered varying degrees of damage.
"The two people I met before were very strong. I've never seen anyone like them in the village before," she said.
He gently patted her shoulder. "Those two are part of a group called the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist. As for their strength, it's just as the name suggests."
Although she didn't say anything, just hearing the name sounded very impressive. "So there are five others," she said, her expression grim.
"I can briefly introduce their strength to you. These few were all elite ninja of the former Land of Water. And they were all at the elite Jonin level when they were alive. As for the swords they carried..." He paused, looking at her. "You've already witnessed the power of those swords. They were Jonin when they were alive. Now that they've been revived, they're close to Kage level."
After he finished speaking, she looked up at him. According to what he had said, these few people could have conquered some small cities or countries when they were alive. But the power they displayed after being revived was far beyond her imagination. If they hadn't run into the two of them, if an ordinary country had run into these people, they would probably have suffered considerable damage. If it was an ordinary Kage-level existence, an ordinary village would already have no strength to deal with it. But this was a full seven people. If these few people joined forces in battle, the strength they could unleash was unimaginable.
"If you were to encounter them again, would you be confident in dealing with them?"
Hearing his question, she hesitated this time. If it were her usual self, with her strength, she would definitely be able to handle it with ease. But she could clearly feel that these people's strength was not only improving, but the ninjutsu they could unleash was also different.
"Don't worry, Lord Kusuo. If I encounter the enemy again, I will definitely kill them," she said, looking at him with a serious expression. Although the opponents she had encountered these few times were getting stronger and stronger, she had no intention of giving up.
"The opponents you will encounter from now on will only be stronger. But if you suffer a fatal injury, I will step in at any time," he said. Hearing his words, a relaxed smile appeared on her face. "Adjust your physical condition properly. We will continue on our way after a while."
He found a suitable cave. This time, he carefully inspected it several times with his Transparent World. After confirming that there were no problems, he led her inside. "Our plan this time is to go to the Land of Water and kill the Mizukage. But at this point, this matter should not be as smooth as we imagined."
Hearing his words, she didn't say anything. The reason she followed him was because of his life-saving grace. And now, he was also carefully teaching her how to use these ninjutsu.
This adjustment took nearly a month. During this period, even Kuroko had never found him. He took advantage of these few days to study this ninjutsu properly. "I really didn't expect that Orochimaru could master the puppet technique in such a short time," he thought. He had also studied the puppet technique for a month and had learned a lot more about it.
"Lord Kusuo, when are we going to set off next?"
