Chihiro had no impression of the two Sekikan.
Even the ability column didn't display Zanpakuto, but Kido and Kaidō.
It seemed they were a bit inferior to the Advanced Troop Types recruited before.
As for the Lieutenant... [Ōmaeda Marechiyo]
[Strength: vice-captain level]
[Position: Second Division Lieutenant]
[Ability: Zanpakuto, Gōkei]
Emmm.
Chihiro had no impression of him.
He vaguely remembered that this guy's Zanpakuto seemed to transform into a meteor hammer.
Other than that, there didn't seem to be any special abilities.
One could only say it was better than nothing.
Since he was recruited from the Regular card pool, it was still a gain.
Next, it was time to recruit Elite Troop Types.
With sixty thousand prestige value, Chihiro thought for a moment and had the System randomly summon three Elite Troop Types.
A purple light flashed, and three familiar faces appeared.
Ooh!
They are heavyweight Troop Types!
Chihiro fixed his gaze on the person in the middle, feeling his eyes were being obscured.
"Tenth Division Lieutenant, Matsumoto Rangiku, reporting to Lord Spirit King!"
Her orange wavy long hair fluttered in the wind, and the beauty mark by her lips gave her a mature charm.
Especially those eye-catching enormous assets; anyone who saw them would secretly sigh, 'What a stunner.'
Tsunade has a rival now!
Chihiro clicked his tongue in wonder, then checked Matsumoto Rangiku's information.
[Matsumoto Rangiku]
[Strength: vice-captain level]
[Position: Tenth Division Lieutenant]
[Ability: Zanpakuto, Haineko]
Chihiro remembered her Zanpakuto was wind-elemental.
During Shikai, the blade would transform into an iron mist, possessing the ability to control all surrounding sand particles.
She was also a very capable character.
And she was the Lieutenant of the Tenth Division Patrol Guard.
With Matsumoto Rangiku, the patrol duties of the Uzushigakure could be handed over to her to manage.
Chihiro continued to check the information of the other two Elite Troop Types.
[Kira Iziru]
[Strength: vice-captain level]
[Position: Third Division Lieutenant]
[Ability: Zanpakuto, Wabisuke]
...[Hinamori Momo]
[Strength: vice-captain level]
[Position: Fifth Divsion Lieutenant]
[Ability: Zanpakuto, Hōzabuki]
These two were also characters who appeared in the original work.
One's Zanpakuto ability was related to gravity, and the other was a fire-elemental Zanpakuto.
In Chihiro's opinion, the abilities of these Zanpakuto were no different from Bloodline Limits in the Ninja World.
Some abilities were even more outrageous than Bloodline Limits.
But some had the flavor of Kekkei Tōta.
He assigned Kira Iziru, the person from the Third Division, to Gin.
Chihiro instructed Matsumoto Rangiku to quickly form the Tenth Division and take over the patrol duties of the Uzushigakure.
He told Hinamori Momo to select members from the Regular Troop Types and form the Fifth Divsion.
First, let the Lieutenants form their respective Divisions. Once he recruits Heroic Troop Types, the Captains of the Divisions won't have to bother forming teams anymore.
After the troop deployment was complete and everything was arranged.
Now, it was time to wait.
Wait for Hidden Mist Village to come and deliver a new wave of prestige value... The large movements of Hidden Mist Village naturally couldn't be hidden from the other Four Great Ninja Villages.
Due to the current tense situation in the Ninja World, any disturbance affects the heart of every Ninja Village.
The situation of all Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist from Hidden Mist Village being dispatched naturally aroused speculation from other Ninja Villages.
Could it be that Hidden Mist Village also wanted to get involved in the Second Great Ninja War?
However, upon learning that Hidden Mist Village's target was the Uzushigakure, Iwagakure and Sunagakure relaxed.
Instead, they felt a bit schadenfreude.
After all, the Uzushigakure is located behind the Land of Fire.
If Hidden Mist Village's target was the Uzushigakure, then Konoha would definitely not be able to go all out when fighting them.
Instead, they would have to constantly be careful not to let their backyard catch fire.
As for Kumogakure, they had no time to bother with these trivial matters in the Ninja World.
They were busy researching the Sealing Technique obtained from the Uzushigakure and conducting Tailed Beast Jinchuriki experiments.
Land of Fire, Konoha Village.
Hokage Office.
Hiruzen Sarutobi looked at the intelligence report in his hand, his brows deeply furrowed.
He couldn't help but take a puff from his pipe to relieve the vexation in his heart.
Soon, the office became filled with smoke.
"Sakumo, what do you think?"
Handing the intelligence report to the white-haired man standing in front of the desk, Hiruzen Sarutobi wanted to hear his thoughts.
Sakumo Hatake replied, "Although I don't know Hidden Mist Village's intentions, whatever their purpose, as long as they are on the territory of the Uzushigakure, it will be a huge disadvantage for our Konoha."
Hiruzen Sarutobi rubbed his temples and sighed, "That's exactly what I'm worried about. With war against the Land of Earth and the Land of Wind imminent, we cannot have such a hidden danger in our rear!"
"Sakumo, take four Anbu squads. No matter what Hidden Mist Village does, you must try your best to harass them and not let them achieve their goal too comfortably!"
After speaking, Hiruzen Sarutobi stood up and patted Sakumo Hatake's shoulder, saying earnestly, "Konoha cannot spare too many troops right now, so I can only trouble you, Sakumo."
Sakumo Hatake replied without hesitation, "It's my duty!"
Hiruzen Sarutobi looked relieved.
"Good, go!"
After Sakumo Hatake left, Hiruzen Sarutobi fell silent, then sighed: "I wonder if the decision regarding the Uzushigakure was right or wrong."
If the Uzumaki Clan had still been there, how could Konoha have fallen into such a state of being surrounded by enemies?
It even displeased Lady Mito.
Even Tsunade was no longer as close as before.
After all, it was the First Hokage who signed the alliance treaty with the Uzumaki Clan, but now he had made the Senju Clan into a clan that broke its promises.
However, the Sealing Technique of the Uzumaki Clan, which could suppress Tailed Beasts, was also a scarce resource for Konoha.
Standing in the position of Hokage, some things are unavoidable.
He had to make decisions for the benefit of Konoha.
One day later.
Hidden Mist Village, as one of the Five Great Nations' war machines, operated with extreme efficiency when put into motion.
Soon, the troops heading to the Uzushigakure were assembled.
This time, clearing out enemies and retrieving the ninja swords were secondary objectives.
The main purpose was to transform the Uzushigakure into a stronghold that could project influence inland.
However, the changes in the Uzushigakure made the Third Mizukage accelerate his pace.
The moment the Hidden Mist Village troops stepped onto the sea.
The entire Ninja World focused on the Uzushigakure!
Although most people had guessed Hidden Mist Village's objective, they wanted to see what Konoha's reaction would be to such a move by Hidden Mist Village.
Swallow their anger?
Or strongly counterattack?
Once the Konoha army marched towards the Uzushigakure, that would be the start of the Second Great Ninja War!
Under these circumstances.
