Chapitre 72: Chapter 72: Night of Slaughter!
Dozens of members from the Kaguya Clan scattered.
However, Kaguya Neko remained unfazed.
With remarkable speed, he selected a target and charged straight towards it.
"Ding!"
The two Ninjato clashed.
However, due to the presence of Dragon-Bone, Kaguya Neko's retraction was much faster.
With a swift retraction, the second strike was even quicker.
And it carried the impact from the previous clash.
Splut!
A young man's chest was directly split open by Kaguya Neko.
"Is this still Kaguya Neko?"
"Why is he so strong?"
"Such immense power!"
One person spoke in a low voice.
"It's that Ninjato!"
"The cursed sword, Dragon-Bone!"
"Didn't Kaguya Neko say earlier that he obtained the cursed sword Dragon-Bone, and by killing us, he can gain power? His current strength must be from killing those clan members earlier."
"Since when did our village have such a Ninjato?"
"Could it have been forged by the Great Blacksmith from Forging Island?"
"The Blacksmith who forged the Kiriichimonji... it's indeed possible. The abilities of Kiriichimonji are quite sinister, causing wounds that can't be healed, only left to bleed."
"This cursed sword is probably even more formidable!"
"To think Kaguya Neko obtained such a cursed sword."
"Forging Island lost a Ninjato. If Mizukage-sama finds out, they'll likely send someone to retrieve it."
At this moment, some were actually hoping Third Mizukage would send someone to subdue Kaguya Neko.
However, those present here were mostly radical members of the Kaguya Clan.
In other words, these Kaguya members had already prepared for civil war.
It's ironic, to say the least.
After cutting down two Kaguya members in succession, a figure appeared behind Kaguya Neko.
Other Kaguya members around frenziedly attacked Kaguya Neko, creating openings for this person.
"Kaguya Neko, you're finished!"
However, at this moment.
Whoosh!
A Kunai, appearing from an unknown direction, accurately struck the person behind Kaguya Neko.
Splut!
The person winced in pain, freezing in place.
Kaguya Neko turned around and swung his blade.
Crack!
With one slash, he severed the person's throat.
"Who?"
Several Kaguya members sensed something was amiss.
"Be careful, besides Kaguya Neko, there are others."
"Kaguya Neko has assistance!"
Kaguya Neko grinned, knowing that the ANBU Ninja dispatched by Third Mizukage had intervened.
"Tonight, you all will die!"
After confirming that the ANBU Ninja was indeed behind him, Kaguya Neko became even more reckless, completely disregarding what was behind him and focusing all his energy on killing.
And the people facing Kaguya Neko now were not strong enough.
As a result, with two strikes or less, Kaguya Neko can kill a person.
The battle was no longer balanced.
It had turned into a one-sided massacre.
Upon hearing the wails, Uehara Soma glanced at Third Mizukage beside him, then at the ANBU Ninjas not far away.
"In the original plot, during the Uchiha clan massacre, was it a similar scene on that night?"
"Were Sarutobi Hiruzen, Shimura Danzo, Mitokado Homura, Utatane Koharu, and others, like Third Mizukage, myself, and Ao, standing outside, watching the scene inside clearly?"
Time passed quickly, yet slowly.
Kaguya Neko had already lost count of how many people he had killed.
He only knew that there were still more to kill.
The radical members were puzzled why, despite the commotion, the strong figures within the clan had not appeared, as if they had vanished into thin air.
In fact, they haven't disappeared, they're just being restrained.
"ANBU Ninja!"
"What are you doing?"
"What does the Mizukage want?"
These Kaguya Clan Elders probably guessed the reason behind it, and their mood instantly became extremely grim.
Originally, they were prepared to start a civil war themselves.
But now, unexpectedly, Mizukage had taken action first.
What would be the outcome for the Kaguya Clan after tonight?
None of the ANBU Ninja answered, they just silently carried out their tasks.
Restrain, and when there's an opportunity, kill, when there's none, wait for Kaguya Neko to arrive.
The figure of Kaguyu Tanishima fell before Biwa Juzo.
"Why?"
Kaguyu Tanishima tightly grasped Biwa Juzo's trouser leg.
Biwa Juzo glanced at Kaguyu Tanishima.
"Why? If Kaguya Neko is still alive, you should know why."
"Your Kaguya Clan's affairs have escalated."
"Mizukage-sama cannot tolerate a Ninja clan preparing to start a civil war to continue to exist."
"Are we just going to sit and wait for you to incite civil war?"
Kaguyu Tanishima looked at Biwa Juzo.
"I'm not talking about that."
"I'm talking about why all of you are so obedient to that incompetent Third Mizukage's orders."
"What loyalty does he deserve?"
"An incompetent fool, wasting the solid foundation laid by Second Mizukage-sama."
"Why should he represent the village?"
"Are we, the Kaguya Clan, not part of the Hidden Mist Village?"
"We, the Kaguya Clan, just want to live."
"Why do all of you, one by one, think it's my Kaguya Clan's fault?"
"You're like this."
"Even within our Kaguya Clan, there are such individuals."
"Kaguya Masui, Kaguya Neko, these two are as foolish as pigs!"
Biwa Juzo frowned.
"I'm not in a position to judge the merits and demerits of Mizukage-sama, but for your Kaguya Clan to attack people in the village for the Hyuga Clan of Konoha, is that right?"
Kaguyu Tanishima opened his mouth.
"That's just the actions of Kaguya Tai."
"When the situation of one Kaguya Tai is exposed, does Kaguya Clan have only one Kaguya Tai?"
Biwa Juzo shook his head.
"Things have come to this, Kaguyu Tanishima, stop saying meaningless words."
"Go."
Biwa Juzo infused chakra into the Blue Rose Sword.
"Blue Rose Ice Release: Long Spear!"
An Ice Spear appeared directly above Kaguyu Tanishima, then plummeted straight down.
Splut!
In an instant, it pierced Kaguyu Tanishima's back, piercing his entire body.
In front of Kaguya Neko, there was no one left standing.
All had fallen under Kaguya Neko's attacks.
Kaguya Neko, wielding Dragon-Bone, walked towards the Clan Head's residence of the Kaguya Clan.
However, at that moment.
A fallen figure suddenly struggled to stand up.
A young man stared fiercely at Kaguya Neko, his eyes filled with anger.
"Neko-senpai, is it right for you to slaughter your own kin for power?"
"You weren't like this before."
"Why have you become like this now?"
Kaguya Neko turned to look at the young man.
After meeting the young man's gaze, Kaguya Neko's mood suddenly became complicated.
"Kaguya Satoru."
Upon learning that the Kaguya Clan intended to start a civil war, upon learning that the Kaguya Clan had imprisoned Kaguya Masui, and while being pursued by members of the Kaguya Clan, Kaguya Neko harbored intense murderous intent towards the Kaguya Clan.
Kaguya Neko felt that this clan was beyond redemption.
Annihilation was their best fate.
However, now, Kaguya Neko had already killed many people.
As he continued to kill, Kaguya Neko's mindset gradually underwent some changes.
He watched helplessly as those people fell under his blade, their bodies stained with blood.
Moreover, Kaguya Satoru was not a member of the radical faction.
In Kaguya Neko's eyes, Kaguya Satoru was a youth somewhat similar to himself and Kaguya Masui.
A minority within the Kaguya Clan.
The reason Kaguya Satoru was not killed, but only knocked down, was because Kaguya Neko didn't want to kill him.
But now, Kaguya Satoru stood up.
"Neko-senpai...!"
Suddenly, Kaguya Neko moved. Before Kaguya Satoru could finish speaking, Kaguya Neko was already in front of him.
A hand gripped Kaguya Satoru's throat, pressing him against the wall, rubbing him against it until they came to a stop after several meters.
On the wall lay fragments of Kaguya Satoru's torn clothes, pieces of skin, and blood.
Intense pain contorted Kaguya Satoru's expression into a grimace.
"Is it unbearable?"
Kaguya Neko looked calmly at Kaguya Satoru.
"Do you think you understand me?"
"What are fellow clan members worth when it comes to power?"
"Do you know what it feels like to possess power?"
"That kind of exhilaration, you'll never understand in your entire life."
Kaguya Satoru retorted.
"Is power so important? More important than fellow clan members? That's not right..."
Kaguya Neko cut off Kaguya Satoru.
"But this is what I'm doing now. What can you do about it?"
Kaguya Satoru gritted his teeth.
"Someday, I will kill you and avenge our people!"
Kaguya Neko laughed.
"Revenge?"
"Fine!"
"Then hate me to your heart's content. I hope hatred can bring you some power, otherwise, with your talent, with your strength, it's completely insufficient."
"You're just too weak."
"Do you know why they died?"
"It's because they were too weak."
"Thank you for telling me a joke."
"I'll give you a chance."
"Live on with your hatred for me."
"I look forward to the day you seek revenge against me."
"That day, I will be extremely cruel and kill you!"
With that said, without waiting for Kaguya Satoru to speak, Kaguya Neko ruthlessly threw him to the ground.
Beside them, a figure lying on the ground was hit, and the figure instinctively twitched.
This brought him the utmost fear, afraid of being discovered by Kaguya Neko.
But Kaguya Neko actually spotted him at a glance.
However, because this person was not a member of the radical faction of the Kaguya Clan, Kaguya Neko pretended not to see.
Kaguya Satoru struggled to lift his head.
"Kaguya Neko, I will definitely remember today, I will definitely kill you, and avenge our people!"
"Damn it!"
Kaguya Satoru's fist slammed fiercely into the ground.
The night was about to end.
Ao withdrew his gaze and turned to Third Mizukage.
"Mizukage-sama, most of the members of the radical faction of the Kaguya Clan are almost dead."
"Most of them were killed by Kaguya Neko."
"Some who fled the Kaguya Clan's headquarters were intercepted by ANBU Ninja surrounding them and killed."
"Now, there are only three left."
"One of them has already been blocked by Juzo."
"The other person is hiding underground."
"The third person is the Clan Head of the Kaguya Clan, Kaguya Neko is heading over."
Third Mizukage asked.
"Where is the person hiding?"
Ao explained in detail.
In the next moment, Third Mizukage's figure flashed and disappeared.
When he reappeared, he was already at the hiding place of the ninja.
In a remote corner of the Kaguya Clan headquarters.
This is the livestock area.
A foul smell wafted over.
Third Mizukage looked down.
"Since you chose to play dead to try to escape today's events, then just stay here."
Before the words fell, Third Mizukage had already formed seals.
The person hiding below seemed to sense something, their pupils contracted, trying to react.
But it was too late.
"Water Release: Water Formation Pillar Jutsu!"
A column of water crashed down.
Under the tremendous force, even the ground sank.
When the water dispersed.
In front of Third Mizukage, there was only a huge crater.
A body, unrecognizable, lay at the bottom of the pit.
Eyes wide open, filled with disbelief and resentment.
"My Kaguya Clan shouldn't have ended up like this!"
When Kaguya Neko entered Kaguya En's home, Kaguya En was sitting in front of the coffee table, drinking.
"Neko, care for a drink?"
Kaguya Neko glanced deeply at Kaguya En.
"Clan Head."
Kaguya En raised an eyebrow slightly.
"Surprising that you would still call me Clan Head at a time like this."
"Have a seat."
Kaguya Neko approached but did not sit.
"Clan Head, aren't you planning to resist?"
Kaguya En chuckled self-deprecatingly.
"Resistance? Does resistance even matter? The ANBU Ninjas have probably already surrounded the entire Kaguya Clan's headquarters, and Third Mizukage should be nearby as well."
"Whether I resist or not, the outcome will be the same."
After finishing a glass of wine.
Kaguya En looked at Kaguya Neko, his expression becoming serious.
"Kaguya Neko, is this your choice?"
"Yes, this is the best choice I can make."
"Can you tell me about your plan? Consider it fulfilling the last wish of a dying man. Isn't this request reasonable? After all, I used to be your Clan Head."
Kaguya Neko fell silent for a moment.
"Tonight, we will kill all the members of the Kaguya Clan's radical faction, but spare the lives of the others."
"I alone will bear all the guilt."
"After tonight, I will be a rogue ninja."
"The Kaguya Clan will still exist, and the relationship with the village will be more harmonious than before."
"The village won't be affected much either."
Kaguya En nodded.
"I see. It sounds like a good plan indeed. Sacrificing yourself alone for the success of the plan."
"Kaguya Neko, you are truly great."
"But have you ever thought about something?"
"With so many members of the Kaguya Clan killed, do you think they would truly want to live harmoniously with their enemies? Are you really being kind to them?"
"Have you considered how they would feel after knowing the truth?"
"Do you think it's fair to them?"
"Do you think the Hidden Mist Village is fair to the Kaguya Clan?"
"Do you think this world is fair to the Kaguya Clan?"
