The division of the Three Ninja Villages into the Uchiha clan was merely a tiny, insignificant episode within the broader context of the Uchiha Rebellion.
Just like when the Uzumaki clan was wiped out, most of the surviving members fled to Konoha, but some members went to other ninja villages.
For example, the Grass Ninja Village.
Rasa hadn't yet figured out how to maximize the use of these Uchiha.
There's no rush; we can take our time.
Luo Sha has more important things to do now.
That is, to defeat Kirigakure.
By instigating internal strife in Konoha, allowing Konoha to launch an attack on Sunagakure, they merely pulled Sunagakure out of the woods, but Sunagakure's situation was still far from good.
As long as Kirigakure does not retreat, Sunagakure will never have peace.
"It's difficult to break the deadlock from the outside, but I can do it from the inside."
Rasa looked at the [One-Day Ninja Trial Card (Hunter's Ninja Version)].
"Using this ninja trial card, I can perfectly infiltrate Kirigakure and investigate the situation there."
"It's much more convenient than any spy or undercover agent."
Before long, Luo Sha had decided on the character he wanted to create.
Name: Hozuki Gengetsu.
Gender: Male.
Age: 16.
Rasa was thinking that the Hozuki clan was a relatively well-known ninja family in Kirigakure. The Second Mizukage, Hozuki Suigetsu, came from the Hozuki clan, and there was also a member of the Hozuki clan among the current Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist.
In the future, there will be Hozuki Mangetsu, who is known as a genius.
A Chunin, lacking sufficient strength, cannot obtain enough intelligence or gain access to the core circle.
Then let's use our identities to make up for it.
With Luo Sha's setting, a corresponding character image immediately appeared on the card.
After arranging everything for the next day.
Luo Sha returned home and spent some time with Jia Lu Luo.
After that, we went to the study on the third floor.
Close the doors and windows.
"use!"
[Successfully used!]
The next moment, Rasa felt his body suddenly disappear and his consciousness being extracted. He was moving at a very fast speed and soon left Sunagakure.
But this time, they didn't go too far.
"Is this the border of the Land of Wind?"
"The base of the Hidden Mist Ninja army?"
Luo Sha was overjoyed.
Compared to Kirigakure, Rasa prefers his character to be here.
An extremely large number of Hidden Mist ninjas are stationed here.
Luo Sha did a rough calculation and estimated that it was at least six thousand or more.
This number might not seem like much in the context of the Fourth Shinobi World War, considering that the Allied Shinobi Forces totaled over 80,000.
However, now that the war has been going on for a long time and all the major ninja villages have suffered heavy losses, it is clear how much Kirigakure (Hidden Mist Village) values this war with Sunagakure (Hidden Sand Village).
While not exactly going all out, they at least deployed most of their main forces.
"arrive!"
Luo Sha opened his eyes quietly.
What came into view was a simple, dilapidated tent, with few ninja tools and worn-out ninja clothes.
Step out of the tent.
This is clearly the edge of the area where the Mist Shadow Army is stationed.
The ninjas around were all low-level ninjas scattered around.
Luo Sha was stunned.
Is this still the Hozuki clan?
As a ninja from the Hozuki clan, even if I'm just a Chunin, I still carry the identity of the Hozuki clan.
This is a powerful ninja clan from Kirigakure.
Compared to Konoha, they are at the level of the Uchiha and Hyuga clans.
He has no bloodline limit, but his water transformation technique is comparable to a bloodline limit.
"What's going on?"
"A ninja from the Hozuki clan, not only so down on his luck, but also so marginalized."
A gaze turned toward Luo Sha.
"Gengetsu Hozuki, what are you doing? Instead of resting now, how will you perform if you go to the front lines tomorrow? Or are you deliberately trying to be in poor condition so you can use that as an excuse not to go to the front lines tomorrow?"
Luo Sha returned to the tent.
The situation before him was completely different from what Luo Sha had anticipated.
"wrong."
Something's not right in Kirigakure.
"According to the intelligence from Sunagakure, nothing has happened to the Hozuki clan. They are still considered a large ninja clan in Kirigakure. So why would even an ordinary ninja like this dare to treat a member of the Hozuki clan like this?"
"Something must have happened to the Hozuki clan."
Luo Sha's eyes flickered.
"And this might be a breakthrough for Sunagakure?"
The people outside were still talking.
"That Ghost Lantern Gengetsu is a real handful; I thought it was the same as it was back then?"
"If it weren't for the higher-ups forcibly assigning him to my squad, I wouldn't want a teammate like that at all."
"It would be best if I died on the front lines tomorrow."
Someone nearby reminded him.
"Captain, keep your voice down. If Hozuki Ungiri finds out about this, he might cause you trouble."
The captain snorted coldly.
"Trying to cause me trouble? Hozuki Ungiri doesn't care about these things at all. If he did, the Hozuki clan would never have ended up like this."
"In his heart, there is only the ninja sword. He doesn't care about anything else."
"Besides, the problem was with this Ghost Lantern Gengetsu to begin with. I was just doing what a captain should do."
The teammate next to him chuckled awkwardly and said nothing more.
But he could tell that his captain was deliberately targeting Hozuki Gengetsu.
It's probably because of the surnames "Hozuki" that they feel a greater sense of accomplishment when targeting him.
After all, in Kirigakure, the name Hozuki was once so highly regarded.
Luo Sha was analyzing the situation inside the tent.
"It's highly likely that the Hozuki clan has declined. The reason for the decline is unknown, but judging from the attitudes of other ninjas, it may have declined quite thoroughly."
"Hozuki Ungiri is one of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist who currently wields the twin swords Hiramekarei."
"This person should be the highest-ranking member of the Hozuki clan in Kirigakure right now, but according to that person, Hozuki Ungiri doesn't care about anything, he has no clan in his heart, he only cares about his ninja sword."
This reminded Rasa of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen's crushing defeat against Might Guy.
"His heart is only set on the ninja sword, but he doesn't seem to be that strong."
Luo Sha peeked out from the gap in the tent.
"Given Hozuki Gengetsu's identity, he probably won't have the chance to obtain any other useful information. In that case, let's try our best to eliminate some enemies for Sunagakure before this identity disappears."
"Let's start with this captain."
"Using your Hozuki clan's surname to kill this person is a way of giving your Hozuki clan a little reward."
Just then.
A figure approached this direction at an extremely fast speed.
"Squad 13, assemble immediately! We have an important mission!"
