Retrieving the Seven Ninja Swords was just a beautiful dream.
Except for the Flounder that was left in the village and the Sharkbone that fell in the hands of the traitor Kiri Shinobi, the whereabouts of the other five ninja swords are completely unknown, including the Beheading Sword that disappeared after the death of Zabuza.
However, retrieving the Shikigami was also a good thing. The Seven Ninja Swords had different abilities, and the most important one was the Shikigami. It could devour the enemy's Chakra and restore the wielder's strength. In other words, the owner of the Shikigami was a mobile turret. As long as it wasn't beheaded, it had almost infinite combat power.
It was said that the Shikigami originated from the First Hokage's Wood Release that could devour the Chakra of the tailed beast. It could devour the enemy's Chakra to restore the wielder's strength, and it could continue to fight tirelessly. After witnessing the First Hokage's god-like power, everyone was impressed and yearned for it.
The Mist Shinobis felt despair facing the Wood Release, so they thirsted for that kind of power, thirst for that kind of power.
For this reason, under the leadership of the Hozuki Clan, they gathered the power of the entire Mist Village to forge the Seven Ninja Swords. The Seven Ninja Swords were the motor of the Seven Ninja Swords. The Seven Ninja Swords had their own unique abilities. When the Seven Ninja Swords worked together, it was as if they were cutting grass. They displayed their might on the battlefield, and it was worth the price the Mist Village had paid.
However, the world was unpredictable, and before the Seven Swordsmen of the Mist could enter their true glory, they suddenly suffered a heavy setback. It was just a mission to the Land of Fire, and the Seven Swordsmen of the Mist collapsed. Since then, the Seven Swordsmen of the Mist had never fully reappeared, and they were all fighting alone.
As the Fifth Mizukage, Mei had a burning ambition in her heart. She wanted to rebuild the Seven Swords, take back the Jinchuriki, and let the Mist Ninjas step on the stage of the mainland again, instead of just living in a corner of the sea. The Mist Ninjas have been out of touch for too long.
"By the way, Mizukage-sama, there is one thing I am very concerned about." Ao suddenly said.
"What is it?"
"When I was visiting Kiba before, I met a boy." Qing said in a low voice, "I think … he looks a lot like the master of the fourth generation. It's very likely that he's the master's descendant."
"What did you say?" Terumi Mei crushed the teacup in her hand, and her beautiful eyes opened wide. This news was really a bit shocking. "Fourth generation … Does he still have descendants alive?"
Qing hesitated for a moment. His expression was a little conflicted, as if he was hesitating whether to say it or not.
"There's no harm in being direct. Tell me everything you know." Mei regained her composure. Her beautiful eyes were filled with encouragement as she looked at Ao. At the same time, she took out a clean handkerchief and wiped the tea on her hand.
"I don't know if this is true or not. Back then, the Fourth Generation Lord did have a wife, but strangely, she was not in the village. Instead, the Fourth Generation Lord had arranged for her to settle down somewhere outside the village. It is said that other than the Fourth Generation Lord himself, only his trusted Shadow Guards know of her whereabouts."
Qing said as if he was telling a story, and Chojuro couldn't help but listen.
"When the Fourth Generation Lord suddenly died, the Shadow Guards around him also died at the same time, so this completely became a fictional story. It was not recorded in the documents. Only a few people in the old group of Jonin at that time knew about it. If the boy didn't look almost the same as the Fourth Generation Lord, I wouldn't believe it was true."
"Is that boy a ninja?" Terumi Mei asked.
"Although he looks like he works in a clothing store, I can see that he has already refined Chakra." Ao said with certainty, his eyes can't be wrong.
"Works in a clothing store, is he the child of the Fourth Generation Lord?" Terumi Mei had a complicated expression in her eyes. She knew what Qing meant. She used the identity of the boy to consolidate her position in the village, and at the same time, she could digest the group of loyal people left behind by the Fourth Generation Lord. It was killing two birds with one stone.
"Forget it, Qing, let him live in Kiba. It doesn't make much sense to bring him back to the village now." Terumi Mei shook her head. She had her pride, and she didn't want to involve a lonely boy.
"But he is the descendant of the Fourth Generation Lord, and he inherited the bloodline of the Fourth Generation Lord. If he really recovers the Sanbi, we need a high-quality vessel …"
Qing didn't finish his words, but Terumi Mei hesitated.
To be honest, the requirements of the Jinchuriki were extremely harsh. If the qualification wasn't good enough, it wouldn't be enough to accommodate the violent Chakra of the Tailed Beast.
Generally speaking, the Jinchuriki were the kind of people who had a special physique or bloodline limit. For example, the Uzumaki Clan was an example. They were regarded as the best vessel for the Kyuubi by Kiba. Or some talented people. Although they were born ordinary, their qualifications were outstanding enough. However, such geniuses were not easy to find. The probability of their birth was even less than finding a person with a special bloodline limit.
There was also the descendant of a powerful ninja. The ninja profession valued bloodline very much, even if it was not a bloodline limit. The descendant of a powerful ninja was naturally better than ordinary ninja. This was a consensus. Otherwise, Rasa wouldn't use My Love as a vessel for the Ichibi.
Therefore, the descendant of the Fourth Mizukage, who was once a perfect Jinchuriki, even if he couldn't become a perfect Jinchuriki, he would be much better than other vessels.
"Do you know his name?" Terumi Mei asked softly.
"Yoshimaru." Qing replied.
"Yoshimaru? What a nice name! He should be a very cute boy! " Terumi Mei pinched her handkerchief and blinked. Her tone suddenly changed, "Bring him back. After all, he is the child of the Fourth Mizukage. It is really embarrassing for us to let him wander in Kiba."
However, this time Qing didn't answer immediately. He hesitated and said, "Mizukage-sama, I'm afraid this is not so easy to do. Although Yoshimaru didn't become a Kiba ninja, he seems to be protected by Kiba. The boy of the Nara Clan warned me not to approach Yoshimaru."
"Nara Clan …" Terumi Mei hesitated, but soon made up her mind, "I will negotiate with the Hokage about this matter. The son of the Mizukage must be brought back to the village."
The afterglow of the setting sun sprinkled on Kiba Village. A beautiful boy carrying a large bag full of meat and vegetables walked on the long street with a cheerful smile on his face.
