Chapter 15 The Third Mizukage Arranges, Straight to the Dark Martial Sect (Ch 15)

Seven days later

Kirigakure Village Mizukage Office

“The assessment for this time, Mizukage-sama, has ended, but…”

The jonin in charge of the ninja graduation examination came to report on the examination results.

At this time, the Third Mizukage was playing with a bracelet. Seeing his subordinates’ troubled expressions, he frowned and said:

“Just tell me what you want to say, Jōnin Kojiro. Was there an unexpected incident during the test or were your results not satisfactory?”

“Hi”

“Mr. Mizukage, there were a total of 147 people in this assessment, and only 27 people survived safely.”

Ojiro Jounin had a look of trepidation on his face.

Although since the implementation of the blood mist policy, about half of the people would die in each graduation assessment in order to select the seeds with potential.

They were somewhat accustomed to such large-scale deaths, but this time the number of deaths was too high.

This included some ninjas trained by big families and the special child sent by the Anbu who did not survive.

silence

The Third Mizukage didn’t say anything, but just quietly rubbed the bracelet in his hand.

There was only the rustling sound in the office, which brought great pressure.

After a while, when the jonin Kojiro was about to give up and sweat was dripping from his forehead, the Third Mizukage finally spoke:

“It’s the kid named Musashi who said he wanted to kill everyone.”

As early as the beginning of the assessment, Musashi’s joke had been reported to the higher-ups by the master stationed on the island.

Everyone thought it was a joke at first.

However, when they realized that there was a massive killing on the island and the assessment was still in progress, someone was afraid of taking responsibility and reported the matter to the Mizukage.

For a time, all the big families whose children were participating in the competition asked the Mizukage to stop the assessment.

However, the Mizukage refused with the reason that “the fate of a ninja is to kill. If you don’t fight now, will you make a mistake and die in the future, bringing disgrace to the village?”

Everyone understood that the Mizukage was taking this opportunity to kill a group of children from large families.

After all, the ninja examination is conducted by all children of appropriate age.

And the Ninja Academy was full of orphans or children of commoners, so they didn’t feel sad when the Mizukage died.

However, it is different for the children from large families who participate in the competition. Although they can be trained freely by the family at ordinary times, they must take part in the assessment together in order to obtain the official title of ninja.

This is why there are not many people in the Ninja Academy, but there are more than a hundred people taking the exam.

At that time in the Hidden Mist Village, even the ninjas were not trained by a single department, which shows how dispersed the power was.

As the Third Mizukage, he chose to implement the Blood Mist Policy in order to centralize power.

The only thing left was for the ninjas to kill each other and not be able to trust each other, especially those ninjas with family backgrounds who were fighting against each other.

Only by making it impossible for them to unite and completely turn them into killing machines can the Mizukage grasp this power as a Kage.

Only in this way can the Mizukage truly take control of the village, instead of being constrained by a group of elders from large families.

“Yes, a large number of them were killed by him, but some of the survivors were also spared by him.”

Ojiro Jonin told them all the information they had investigated.

With such a big thing happening, they naturally couldn’t just ignore it, and they had already interrogated all the graduates before they came.

Of course, there was only one sentence left in the interrogation of Musashi.

“You said you don’t limit the number of deaths. Everyone on the island is an enemy. Is there anything wrong with me killing enemies who are hostile to me?”

These are Musashi’s original words, and the reason he used is similar to Zabuza’s.

Anyway, the rules are set by the village. If others follow your rules, do you want to go back on your word?

This question confused all the jonin in charge of the assessment, and they had no choice but to report the matter to the Mizukage.

“This kid is quite powerful, but he is too murderous to be a normal ninja team.”

The Third Mizukage also had a headache after hearing this.

I don’t know whether it is good or bad for a child to find loopholes in the rules at such a young age.

However, the fact that he can beat so many people of the same age shows that his talent is top-notch and such people are worth cultivating.

“Transfer him to the Anbu.”

“It just so happens that all the ninja villages are at war during this period. The Anbu are under a lot of pressure to collect intelligence, and they need this kind of young blood to replenish it.”

After thinking for a while, the Third Mizukage made arrangements.

He is a talented youngster, and most importantly, he is still young. As long as he is brainwashed well, there is no need to worry about not being able to control himself.

Once you go to the Anbu, most of the people there are his people, and it will be easier to train them under their influence.

“Yes, I understand. I will go and read out the appointment now.”

The jonin Kojiro had a look of envy on his face.

This is a promotion!

He was able to enter the Anbu just after obtaining the status of a ninja, which was second to none in the Hidden Mist Village.

“Don’t worry, let him know first. The official appointment will be given to him in seven days. Let him rest for a while.”

The Third Mizukage said this before signaling for Kojiro Jounin to step back.

“Hi!”

…

“What? I’ll go straight into ANBU.”

“Didn’t I just get the status of a Genin? Can a Genin enter the Anbu directly?”

Musashi instinctively felt that someone was trying to get him.

It’s unheard of for a Genin to join the ANBU.

Geniuses like Kakashi and Uchiha Itachi were transferred into the Anbu only after they had completed missions and gained some fame.

But it’s different for me. I entered the Anbu right after graduation.

Graduation package assignment?

But the allocation location is too inappropriate!

Anbu, Anbu, that place is not an easy place to stay.

The Anbu of any ninja village is the gathering place of the most powerful ninjas, and is also the organization that carries out the most dangerous tasks.

If an ordinary ninja heard this transfer order, he would be so happy that he would be at a loss as to what to do. This is a recognition of his own abilities.

The more dangerous the mission a ninja performs, the more it shows that he is valued by his superiors.

But Musashi didn’t think so. He was still thinking about doing some small tasks bit by bit, and then secretly building up his strength, developing his power, and then taking control of the Hidden Mist Village.

If you go to a place like Anbu, you’ll be surrounded by a lot of old bastards.

With countless pairs of eyes staring at him, it became difficult for him to do anything.

According to the course of the anime, the Mist Shadow Anbu at this time gathered all the essence of the Hidden Mist Village.

The Seven Ninja Swordsmen will also select people from the Anbu to form a team in the coming days.

Famous guys like Mei Terumi, Ao, Hoshigaki Kisame, Xiguashan Pufferfish, and Karutagi Yagura are still serving in the Anbu.

It will be much more difficult for Musashi to develop after entering than outside.

“This is the appointment from the Mizukage himself. You should take a rest for a while. The appointment will be sent directly to you in seven days.”

Looking at the reluctant Musashi, the senior ninja Kojiro felt a little jealous.

Doesn’t this guy understand?

This is a promotion from Lord Mizukage!

Many people will never have this kind of opportunity in their lifetime, but he has this honor just after graduating from the Ninja Academy.

But he had an embarrassment on his face. I really didn’t know what the Mizukage saw in this guy.

Loyalty! Loyalty! Loyalty!

How did the Ninja Academy train these kids? They didn’t inherit any of the glorious qualities of their predecessors.

“Okay, I get it then. I’ll wait for the appointment at home.”

Since the other party said so, Musashi knew that he couldn’t say anything more.

The main reason is that his current strength does not support him to fly solo or take control of the Hidden Mist Village, so he can only lie dormant.

But if you think about it carefully, joining the Anbu is not a bad thing.

It is a dangerous mission, but the rewards are high, fame can be gained quickly, and one can also get to know the strong people in the Hidden Mist Village.

Maybe he could successfully take charge of the Hidden Mist Village in other ways.
