Chapter 6: SJIN: Chapter 6
---
Mizuno remembered that even someone as powerful as Danzo had to hold a meeting and obtain the Daimyo's consent when he succeeded the Sixth Hokage. This was completely different from the current situation where the First and Second Hokage just went through the motions. The Daimyo's right to appoint was very important, and this concession clearly made the Daimyo's eyes light up.
"Humph," he still stubbornly tried to gain more benefits for himself. "It's not much different from now. It's just that the formalities will be more formal."
Mizuno smiled slightly. His second condition was the real bombshell.
"The second condition is that the Third Hokage promises to establish a defense force directly under the Daimyo, with a quota of twelve members. Personnel can be selected from anywhere in Konoha. They will be called the Twelve Guardian Ninja, specifically responsible for the Daimyo's safety."
As soon as he said this, the Daimyo stood up directly, his voice even louder. "Is this true?"
Mizuno knew that the Daimyo couldn't refuse this temptation.
The Twelve Guardian Ninja existed in the original story. It was formed by Sarutobi Asuma and Jiraiya, indicating that it was a real need for the Daimyo.
Moreover, there were twelve people, which was more than just a simple defense force. Remember that the Second Hokage only brought six people when he went to the Land of Lightning. Naruto and the so-called younger generation were only known as the Twelve Ninja Guardians.
If these twelve people were all elite ninjas on par with Asuma, then they could not only guard the Daimyo, but also destroy a small country without any problem.
Mizuno nodded and took out Sarutobi's letter. It systematically described these promises and was stamped with his personal seal.
The Daimyo was excited.
This was like a gift from heaven.
He remembered the woman who had come to threaten him a few days ago.
If he had twelve elite ninjas, what would that woman be?
"Good!" The Daimyo nodded. "I agree to you. However, you must first help me get rid of a woman."
Mizuno frowned slightly when he heard this. "A woman?"
"Yes, a masked woman. She's threatening me," the Daimyo said.
Mizuno remembered the poison powder that Sakumo had found, realizing that this was not a simple matter.
"Humph, humph, humph..." A low female voice came. "It seems that the Daimyo of the Fire Country, like the Hokage of Konoha, is an unreliable fellow."
As she said this, two cold lights flashed. Two kunai flew towards Mizuno and the Daimyo, one from each side.
The first to react was Uchiha Kagami, who was hiding in the shadows. He swung his ninja sword, and with two bangs, he blocked the kunai.
"Daimyo, Mizuno, retreat! Chōza, protect the hostage!"
"Partial Multi-Size Technique!" Akimichi Chōza's arms expanded, becoming like a meat shield in front of Mizuno. At the same time, Hanpō, the Iron Country samurai, arrived and stood in front of the Daimyo.
As soon as Uchiha Kagami finished speaking, he swung his ninja sword, his body charging directly at the female Anbu ninja.
"Konoha Style - Shadow Dancing Leaf - Crescent Moon Dance!"
Boom!
The roof of the Daimyo's room was blown open. Under the moonlight, three Uchiha Kagami figures danced gracefully, their ninja swords gleaming, heading straight for the woman's blind spot.
The woman had nowhere to dodge. With a "poof," blood splattered.
"Humph," Uchiha Kagami smiled slightly. "For a woman, your dodging is excellent. But unfortunately..."
As she said this, she slapped her hand forward, and a chain suddenly extended from her hand.
How is this possible? Uchiha Kagami was extremely surprised.
The opponent's attack was swift and decisive, as if the ninja sword stuck in her body didn't exist. The chain flew past, and Uchiha Kagami suddenly felt a wave of weakness. He quickly drew his sword and retreated.
"Be careful! There's something strange about that chain!" Uchiha Kagami shouted.
Seeing the red hair and the unique chain on her body, Mizuno guessed the woman's origin. "The Uzumaki clan?"
The woman smiled slightly. The moonlight illuminated her beautiful face, and in an instant, her wound healed without a trace. "My name is Uzumaki Ryūzan. Pleased to meet you."
"That chain can absorb chakra," Uchiha Kagami shouted.
What a terrifying recovery ability, Mizuno muttered to himself. This is the terrifying power of the Uzumaki clan.
After this exchange, Shimura Danzo and Hatake Sakumo, who were outside, also rushed over.
"Normal attacks won't work on that woman," Uchiha Kagami said. "We need to give her a fatal blow in an instant..."
Before Uchiha Kagami could finish his sentence, a white light flashed before everyone's eyes.
"Poof..."
Uzumaki Ryūzan's eyes widened, and a red line of blood appeared on her delicate neck.
This is...
Hatake Sakumo!
Sakumo's white chakra blade was like a bolt of lightning, instantly slashing across Uzumaki Ryūzan's neck.
"He succeeded!" Danzo shouted.
A near-perfect sneak attack!
In a flash of lightning, Uzumaki Ryūzan's expression changed repeatedly. The two chains in her hands instantly tightened around Hatake Sakumo.
Sakumo gritted his teeth. "Almost?"
Uzumaki Ryūzan covered her bleeding white neck, and the wound on her hand was quickly healing. Her expression changed from fear to ferocity. "Kill him! Kill him! This guy is dangerous!"
She was almost hysterical. If she had been a little slower, she would have died on the spot.
As if someone had heard her plea, a figure flew from the shadows, heading straight for Hatake Sakumo.
"Be careful!"
Uchiha Kagami shouted, but it was too late. Sakumo's body was bound by Uzumaki Ryūzan's chains, his chakra was suppressed, and he couldn't muster any strength. The kunai flew past, and Sakumo's body was instantly cut in half.
"Crackle..."
The body turned into a bolt of lightning, like a high-voltage electric current, and it directly conducted along the chain to Uzumaki Ryūzan's body.
"Aaaaaah..."
The woman screamed in pain for a few moments, then fell silent.
Thunder Clone Technique?
Everyone didn't expect that it was Hatake Sakumo's Thunder Clone that had just launched the attack.
"Good job, Sakumo," Uchiha Kagami gave a thumbs up. "I told you, you're a pretty admirable guy."
Hatake Sakumo walked out of the shadows. "Don't underestimate her, Kagami-sama. Look, there's another one."
The shadow that had just attacked Sakumo turned around, revealing a face that shocked everyone.
"Senju Mineshi?"
Uchiha Kagami was shocked. He never imagined that the one obstructing them in the shadows was the First Hokage's own son. Moreover, Senju Mineshi had left Konoha after marrying into another family and had been away from the Senju clan's core circle for a long time.
"Hahahahahaha, that's right, it's me!" Mineshi shouted.
"Why?" Danzo was also very surprised.
Senju Mineshi formed hand seals. "You don't need to know. Die, you disciples of the Second Hokage! White Secret Technique - Near Pine Three-Man Squad!"
Three shadows suddenly emerged from the ground, and Hatake Sakumo, Shimura Danzo, and Uchiha Kagami each blocked one.
Mizuno suddenly remembered. White Secret Technique, wasn't that Senju Granny's signature puppet technique?
