Ever since Gekkou Hayate entered Anbu, Mikawa Team had actually died in name only.
Then, Itachi became the Clan Leader of Uchiha in his plan, which also meant that Mikawa Team was completely disbanded.
Therefore, in the following period of time, whether he accepted a mission or not was actually decided by Aoba himself, and it all depended on his mood.
Of course, the mission personally sent by the Hokage was excluded.
As usual, he first informed the people around him that he was going to go into seclusion, then left behind 'Naruto' to transform into his own appearance, occasionally revealing himself.
In the end, he used the Transformation Technique to sneak out of Konoha, and then headed straight to his destination.
This way, no one would be able to connect him with Yasuo, and if he encountered danger, he would be able to use the ability of 'Naruto' to instantly return, and even save him the time to travel, making it extremely convenient...
In the Land of Water, this was finally not the first time Aoba had come here.
However, after three years, he could clearly feel the changes in this country when he came to this country again.
First, it was security. Although it was not to the extent of not closing at night and not picking up a single place, at least he could no longer see the strange scene of Kirigakure Ninjas fighting on the street.
Next was the spiritual appearance. The last time he came here, Aoba could see numbness on many people's faces. He could see that everyone was in a hurry and vigilant look.
However, this time, the alienation and uneasiness were difficult to see again.
Instead, it was replaced by a smile and the hope on his face.
Although it was far from the level of Konoha's singing, dancing, and bustling enthusiasm, it also seemed to let people see the light.
Finally, it was public opinion.
When Aoba passed by, he heard that many of Kirigakure Ninjas gave all the credit to Terumi Mei, and then appropriately expressed their love.
The current Mizukage was still Yagura, but after Yagura took the initiative to shoulder all the blame on himself, Terumi Mei, who had changed all of this, naturally became the greatest contributor, and also the idol of everyone!
Even under Yagura's deliberate indulgence, Terumi Mei's reputation could be said to be getting bigger and bigger day by day.
It was estimated that in a few years, people would forget about him, Fourth Mizukage. At that time, Terumi Mei would naturally become the new Mizukage, and no one would stand up to oppose her.
This was called a great momentum!
It was a pity that Obito only wanted a chaotic Kirigakure who had fallen into a quagmire. He did not want to see this country rise again.
Therefore, Yagura had to die!
Aoba came neither too early nor too late. He only waited for a day before gathering everyone at the place where they met.
Hidan, Kisame, and Deidara, together with him and Kakuzu, the 'senior' of Akatsuki, with this kind of configuration, how could they failed!
The high-spirited Yasuo took the lead and took the lead.
Obviously, he and Kakuzu were the only ones who were qualified to take the lead, and because Yasuo had given him face in the last mission he went to Kirigakure, he didn't want to fight with him this time.
There was also Hidan and Deidara who were obviously a bit 'afraid' of Yasuo. Three of the four people had no objections, so how could the remaining Kisame overturn the sky?
However, on the way, when Kakuzu knew that Kisame was carrying a broadsword
In Aoba's opinion, the reason why Kisame took the initiative to speak of this matter was definitely because he had heard some rumors about him.
This meant that he wanted to stir up trouble
Aoba suddenly looked at Kisame, while Kisame fearlessly looked at him. Aoba could even see the heaven-defying battle intent in Kisame's eyes.
Therefore, Aoba couldn't help but laugh. He liked this kind of person who took the initiative to come to his door.
However, if Kisame didn't have Samehada, could he still stand firm in Akatsuki?
It was none of his business!
In addition, Kisame was not like Biwa Juzou. Even if he did not have the broadsword - Samehada, he was still Kirigakure's Jonin. Moreover, he had a great reputation inside.
A piece of trash like Suikazan Fuguki, even if he held Samehada in his hand, he was still commanding people to do things for him.
Therefore, even if there was no Samehada, Kisame was still Kisame. Wouldk that title of "Bijuu without tail" in the future was just a bluff?
Just as the two of them looked at each other, Kisame suddenly grinned and said casually, "I heard that you are collecting Kirigakure's seven swords? How is it going?"
Kisame usually did not pay any attention to etiquette when he spoke, and if he wanted to make him look at him in a new light, he had to show that aspect that could make him convinced.
In the original story, Itachi relied on his personal charm and philosophy to conquer Kisame, so that Kisame respected Itachi very much.
However, Aoba did not think that he had this kind of charisma, so he directly said, "In addition, with your Samehada, I already have everything."
As soon as this was said, everyone stopped and looked at the two with interest.
This was the rhythm of a fight!
"Kisame, don't be scared. Go!" Deidara watched the show and cheered for Kisame in his heart.
But what Hidan was thinking at this time was, "Yasuo Nee-chan doesn't need my help. Forget it, let's wait and see."
Kakuzu chuckled. What should have come had finally come.
Kisame couldn't help but narrow his eyes, revealing a cold gaze, but what surprised him even more was the information revealed by the other party.
Just Samehada in his hand, then the collection was perfect?
In other words, this guy had already collected six ninja swords.
Kisame suddenly said thoughtfully, "You killed Mangetsu Hozuki. Did Biwa Juzou and Kurosuki Raiga also die?"
Although it was a question, Kisame's tone was very certain.
At this time, Kakuzu suddenly interrupted, "Hehe, you have only joined the organization for a short period of time. The leader probably did not tell you that the mission to kill Mangetsu Hozuki was done by me and Yasuo. Oh, right, that idiot Biwa Juzou died in that mission. But don't misunderstand. Before that, Yasuo had already snatched away that guy Kubikiribocho. I have a hunch that you will be the next one."
Kakuzu was obviously not speaking up for Yasuo. He was just afraid that the two of them would not be able to fight, so he added a fire.
Sure enough, after hearing this, Kisame immediately had many similar things.
No wonder when faced with Kirigakure's questioning at that time, Kumogakure refused to admit it no matter what, and the spy that Kumogakure sent did not have any ninja sword.
It turned out that the cause of all this was this Akatsuki who he had joined now.
Kisame began to feel a little excited.
