Chapter 17 Clear goals, established plans (Ch 17)

The next morning, Musashi slept in late and woke up slowly.

In the past two and a half years, he has been in the world of Naruto, and his nerves are always tense. He has never dared to sleep so freely.

Until now, when he successfully passed the ninja assessment and became a Genin with status and strength, he finally breathed a sigh of relief and had the opportunity to be lazy.

“Today’s mission is twofold. First, to test the chakra attributes and obtain two ninjutsu. Second, to try to contact the big families in the Hidden Mist Village, such as the Snow Clan and the Bamboo Clan, which have deep roots. It would be best if we could test their strengths.”

Musashi was secretly calculating in his mind. After several “Musashi” discussed together, they already had a clearer plan for seizing power in the Hidden Mist Village.

Take entering the Anbu for example. At first he was full of worries, fearing that his secret would be discovered. But now thinking about it, it was actually an opportunity.

It is now the time when the Third Ninja World War broke out, and it is a good time to become famous in the Ninja World.

To seize power in a village, the worst option is naturally to suppress it by force, while the best option is to use powerful force and win over interest groups to slowly replace them.

Places like the Anbu are naturally where the elite ninjas of a ninja village are located. It is a good opportunity to have more contact with them and win over a group of people.

Although the original drama did not mention how the fourth Mizukage Yagura Karuta came to the position, it wasn’t long before he came to the position.

In the original drama, the Third Ninja World War lasted only three years in total, and during this time, the Seven Ninja Swordsmen formed by the Hidden Mist Village attacked Konoha, and the person in charge afterwards became the Fourth Mizukage Yagura Karuta.

Time is very tight.

Considering this, it is highly likely that the other party did not become the Mizukage through normal means.

This is normal. In a place like a ninja village, whoever has the bigger fist and can take care of the interests of other ninjas will be the boss.

Since the competition for the Fourth Mizukage will begin soon, why can’t Musashi be the winner?

Originally, Musashi planned to lie low in the Anbu, accumulate strength, and wait for the right time to seize the position of Mizukage. However, other “Musashi” pointed out last night that this was too cautious.

Today’s Musashi is much stronger than before.

After integrating the abilities of Ghoul Musashi and Goblin World Magician Musashi, he has firmly entered the ranks of Kage-level powerhouses, far beyond the elite jonin estimated yesterday.

In this case, why should we be so timid in our actions?

Although he is not as invincible as Uchiha Madara or Senju Hashirama, who shocked the entire ninja world and could not eat beef.

Even in the small Mist Village, there are few people who can stop him.

Just as the ghoul Musashi said, if it really becomes a last resort, you can defect and establish your own ninja village.

Think about Hanzo of the Salamander during World War II, who punched the Sand Ninja, kicked Konoha, and frightened the samurai of the Iron Kingdom. No one dared to say anything.

Isn’t it wonderful for a real man to be able to maneuver among various forces with ease?

As long as one is extremely powerful, even if he acts boldly, who would dare to say anything easily?

Not only that, the “Musashi” also reached a consensus: planning cannot be limited to the ninja perspective.

Such as samurai groups from various countries, daimyo forces, and some scattered small ninja villages, all of which can bypass the subtle rules of ninja and take action.

After all, Musashi himself didn’t really consider himself a ninja.

The classics of his ancestors in his previous life had already told him that in the Warring States Period when the princes were fighting each other, being weak was the original sin.

If you can’t defeat a big country of the same level, then take over small countries and villages first and expand slowly.

Although the well-known ninja villages are all bound to the daimyo as a community of interests, weak countries do not have the protection of powerful ninja organizations, and these places have great potential.

Demon Slayer Musashi suggested that if the plan to seize power in the Hidden Mist Village was blocked, they might as well take control of a few small countries first and gradually develop their power.

After all, in this ninja world, the strong are respected. As long as you have strong enough strength, you will be able to stand at the forefront, unlike the Third Raikage of the Cloud Village who was trapped in the crowd.

Another point is that ninja combat is based on intelligence, and it just so happens that Musashi knows the trump cards of all the powerful Hokage.

This is also Musashi’s unique advantage. He can see through the hidden cards of all the strong men who appear in this world, no matter they are from the native ninja world or the mysterious Otsutsuki clan.

Moreover, the world of Naruto not only has powerful people, but also countless treasures of various kinds.

For example, the dragon veins of the earth that can travel through time, the peacock meteorite that materializes chakra and can fly and transform into animals, the box of bliss that satisfies people’s wishes, the ghosts and monsters containing powerful negative energy, the Eye of the Moon made by the Otsutsuki clan on the moon, the sealing technique left by the Uzumaki clan, the *Six Paths Divine Artifact of the Hidden Cloud Village… As long as you plan properly, you can get them all.

“Just wait, this ninja world will be in my hands sooner or later.” With great ambition in his heart, Musashi stood up.

“Crack–bang!” The wooden table next to the tatami could not withstand his inadvertent pressure and collapsed.

╯□╰

“Alas, every time I merge my powers, my body has a hard time adapting to the explosive power…”

Although the ghoul Musashi’s kagune cannot appear in the world of Naruto, his super strong physical fitness is truly integrated into his blood.

“Gu~Gu~”

His stomach rumbled; the transformation of his body brought about by the fusion consumed a large amount of energy.

The food from last night’s meal has been completely absorbed by the body during sleep and converted into nutrients for growth.

At this moment, Musashi felt so hungry that he could eat a cow.

In desperation, I had to put everything aside and fill my stomach first.

He stood up quickly, tidied himself up for a while, and then a handsome boy who was almost as tall as an adult pushed the door open and walked out.

He has regular facial features and a gentle temperament. If it weren’t for the childish look on his face, he would definitely be the top girl in the gigolo parlor.

Of course, when it comes to handsomeness, he is definitely not as handsome as you readers.

“Let’s not eat ramen today. Let’s go have a good barbecue and reward ourselves.”

During the ninja assessment, Musashi killed many people with evil intentions and looted a lot of property from them.

A man cannot become rich without unexpected wealth, and a horse cannot become fat without night grass.

Especially those ninjas who were from family backgrounds, even when they came to participate in the assessment, they all brought a lot of large-denomination silver bills.

He really didn’t understand why these people brought silver notes to the examination. Were they giving money away voluntarily?

Who cares? Anyway, if I meet the boy who brings money, I can make some money, and it saves Musashi from having to complete tasks and earn money.

Saving money is not as fast as robbing money, right?

Once he became rich, Musashi would not treat himself badly and went to the busiest street in the Hidden Mist Village.
