Internal strife has always been a fine tradition in Kirigakure.
Students killing students, Genin killing Chunin, Jonin killing the Mizukage...
Kill kill kill!
Keep killing until you hit a weakling, keep going, if you hit a tough one, just defect. This has almost become the survival law of the Village of the Bloody Mist.
Therefore, Sora had no intention of reasoning.
Once he killed enough that no one dared to question him, naturally there would be no more opposition.
The head separated from body.
Watching their comrade get killed, the other Anbu's members remained motionless. They were completely stunned, staring at Sora with horrified eyes, dumbfounded on the spot.
These Anbu's members had a premonition: if they dared to make a move, they would likely meet the same fate as that disrespectful Jonin!
"Frost-sama…"
"We wouldn't dare."
Someone bowed and whispered, showing reverence towards Sora.
"Yes, Frost-sama."
"We wouldn't dare."
"That Yuda provoked your authority without cause, he got what he deserved."
"Frost-sama is a peerless famous general of Kirigakure, immensely capable!"
"I've long disliked Yuda. Flaunting his family background, ordering everyone around in the team. Frost-sama killing this beast is truly satisfying. I wish I could spread the news far and wide for everyone to celebrate."
The other Anbu from the Third Division also showed great understanding of righteousness, their postures towards Sora were very humble, almost as if they wished to serve him with utmost loyalty.
"Hmph!"
Kurumi snorted coldly and sheathed her sword. It was only because these people knew what was good for them, otherwise, she would definitely have charged forward and traded her life to take one out, just to uphold Sora's dignity.
'Peerless famous general of Kirigakure? Shameless! Sora-sama's brilliance and might, how could you fickle opportunists possibly describe even a fraction of it?'
Yuzuki, however, stared dangerously at one of them. This guy's flattery was even more shameless than his own. He looked like a major rival in life, definitely someone to guard against carefully.
'If this bootlicker stole his place by Sora-sama's side, it would probably cause me a lifetime of pain and regret.'
"Moon."
"It seems your subordinates are all very... pragmatic."
Sora also put away his Zanpakuto, no longer intending to take action.
With this action,
The Anbu from the Third Division visibly trembled, and the expressions beneath their masks also relaxed.
At that moment, some were surprised to find that their backs were already soaked with sweat, though they didn't know when.
'Monster…'
Some Anbu were still terrified, uneasy, feeling that the pressure they sensed from Sora was even more frightening than that from the Mizukage.
Hearing this, Meigetsu just looked at Sora with a complex gaze, then said with a dark expression, "Kuroda, strip Yuda's clothes, crush his head. Don't leave any traces."
"This…"
The bootlicking Anbu named Kuroda, who had been called out earlier, didn't comply upon hearing this. Instead, he ingratiatingly approached Sora, "Frost-sama, what do you think about this matter…"
"Follow the order."
"Right away!"
As soon as the words fell, the bootlicking Anbu immediately drew a kunai and fiercely headed towards the corpse of the disrespectful Jonin.
'Damn, what a suck-up!'
Yuzuki cursed fiercely in his heart. Watching Kuroda's obsequious back, he felt a great sense of crisis.
To the side,
As the Captain of the Anbu's Third Division, Meigetsu was also a bit unable to maintain her composure, 'My usually cold-blooded subordinates, how did they suddenly turn into such sycophants!??'
The two teams merged and soon headed deeper into the forest.
This time, the mission Sora received was to escort the spirit jar sealed with the Three-Tails to a designated location, then seal it into a Konoha's Ninja named Nohara Rin, before driving her towards Konoha to detonate the Tailed Beast and destroy Konoha.
For this plan, Kirigakure had essentially deployed its elites. Nine Anbu Teams, totaling 36 Ninjas, were dispatched, including three Captains, Sora among them.
39 Ninjas!
The proportion of Jonin exceeded seventy percent!
Such combat power, even placed on the main battlefield, was a force not to be underestimated!
However,
According to the original storyline's direction, such an astonishing force would be slaughtered single-handedly by Obito, as if he was playing a Musou Game.
Nearly thirty Jonin!
Slaughtered by a 14-year-old Obito!
'Tsk tsk...'
'Let alone Sasuke, even the 14-year-old Uchiha Madara, did he have combat power like Uchiha Obito's?'
Sora's expression suddenly became subtle.
Slaughtering Anbu at 14, controlling the Nine-Tails with one eye to destroy Konoha at 15, incidentally killing the Fourth Hokage + the Nine-Tails' Jinchuriki…
Looking at it this way, Obito seems to have the protagonist template.
'Pity that followed the wrong person.'
'Mission target Nohara Rin …'
Recalling the mission details, Sora felt an increasingly strange sensation. Why specifically emphasize capturing Rin to seal the Three-Tails, when they could just find any Konoha's Ninja, or even use one of their own, to accomplish this?
Finding and capturing Rin involved huge intelligence and personnel costs, making it a completely thankless task.
This mission, in essence, defied logic, as if it were specifically issued targeting Rin!
Sora even somewhat suspected that the Third Mizukage back in the village, who was like a workhorse, might have long been controlled by Black Zetsu, or perhaps under Madara's Genjutsu!
The Third Mizukage controlled by Madara, the Fourth Mizukage controlled by Obito, the Sixth Mizukage controlled by a Chunin… It can be said that the Mizukage lineage of Kirigakure really is the disgrace among Kage-level figures.
However, Sora didn't really care about that.
After all, capturing Rin was the special survival mission he needed to complete.
Moreover, Sora had already planned some things. He intended to use this opportunity to give Konoha's Yellow Flash a big surprise!!!
…
Over the next two days,
Sora and the other Anbu Teams escorted the spirit jar sealed with the Three-Tails towards the target area.
Other teams participating in the mission were responsible for collecting intelligence on Rin and delivering it to the central force where Sora was, acting as scouts.
Near Tenfu Gorge.
Evening was approaching.
In a deep cave.
"Intelligence received…"
Meigetsu took the intelligence handed by her subordinate and said coldly, "The target, Nohara Rin's activity has been confirmed. Seven hours ago, she was spotted near the Konoha's camp east of Tenfu Gorge."
"Good."
Sora nodded, "Proceed according to the original plan. Operation begins at dawn."
"Yes, Frost-sama!"
The Kirigakure's Anbu hidden in the cave all knelt on one knee and responded.
'Nohara Rin…'
'Our story is about to begin.'
