Chapter 44: Sword Demon

Chapter 44: Sword Demon

Konoha.

Despite war causing havoc everywhere, the village was safe because of the numerous sacrifices made by Shinobi.

The sun was exceptionally bright today dissipating the dark atmosphere caused by the war bringing rays of hope.

Hokage Office.

Sarutobi sat on his seat as he read one file after another, his face was haggard, looking like he aged a lot during this short time of war.

The war has killed a lot of Ninja's of Konoha and the resources required to fight against four different nations, even for Konoha was a difficult thing.

Whether it was with Sand, Mist, Rock, the war with the three of them was at a stalemate.

As for Cloud, Sarutobi didn't have any hope since the Ninja he sent with Orochimaru was far from enough. The source of this content nov(el)bi((n))

It would be a blessing for Konoha if Orochimaru could keep the cloud at bay.

Knock...

As Sarutobi was lost in his thoughts and was smoking to relieve his stress, the door of the room was suddenly knocked.

"Come In..."

Sarutobi immediately straightened up putting the demeanor of Hokage as a Ninja walked in.

Lord Hokage the report from Cloud front line is here

The Ninja came forward as he handed Sarutobi a scroll.

Sarutobi took the scroll while gesturing the Ninja to retreat.

"I hope it isn't a disastrous defeat..."

Jiraya had a serious expression on his face unlike his usual wretched smile while looking at the Map in front of him.

Minato and Shikaku also stood beside him debating on there next move against the Rock.

"Report..."

The three of them heard a shout outside the tent as Jiraya let the messenger in.

Handing the scroll to Jiraya the messenger left the camp as Jiraya unsealed the scroll in the curious gazes of Minato and Shikaku.

"Haha, I knew that Kid would make a sensation"

After reading the report, Jiraya started laughing loudly as he handed the scroll to Minato.

"Amazing..."

This was all Minato could say after reading the report as the news on the scroll was too unbelievable.

"Haha, get ready he is coming here we have to welcome him properly"

Jiraya was in a good mood and couldn't wait for the arrival of Kozuki.

Similar scenes also occurred in the Camp near the Sand where Kurenai and Shizune were allocated in the Medical squad to help the injured.

"I knew Kozuki would be famous all over the world"

Kurenai had a big smile on her face as the news had slowly spread throughout the ninja world so she naturally knew of it.

Whether it was an enemy or a for, they all knew that Konoha had a new 10-year-old powerhouse who could change the terrain with just a swing of his sword.

Due to his exceptional Swordsmanship that was seen by the Cloud Shinobi during his fight and even the Raikage's Son who survived after his fight, named Kozuki the only person who was worthy of his respect as an opponent after his father.

He personally gave him the Name "Sword Demon" which was soon famous throughout the Ninja World.
