"Danzo-sama, Mizusawa, who was just sent to Hokage Tower by the Uchiha Clan, is Uchiha Clan's Elder."
In the dark forest, a Root's Shinobi one knelt on one knee and reported the latest information to Danzo.
"He actually uses this method to get away with it."
Danzo said with a disdainful smile, "In that case, let me add the fire to you."
Danzo originally planned to meet with Fugaku after the Uchiha Clan's meeting ended, to discuss the details of their cooperation.
But now, Mizusawa has become the scapegoat for the Shisui incident. Danzo knows that with Minato's character, it is very likely that things will settle down.
In that case, why would Fugaku put all his eggs in one basket and cooperate with him?
'Therefore, I must make Fugaku desperate!
Danzo intends to get in touch with Koharu and Homura in the next few days, so that these two will come forward and put some pressure on the Uchiha Clan!
...
Land of Rain.
Amegakure.
The central steel tower.
Today is another heavy rain day. The rain is continuous outside the tower, and the whole city is surrounded by water vapor, like a vast ocean of water.
Deva Path stood on the edge of the tower, with his eyes closed until White Zetsu's voice came from behind him.
"According to the information I just received, Konoha has another S-Rank Missing-nin."
White Zetsu spread his hands exaggeratedly, "Do you know who defected? You can never imagine! This person…"
"Say it!" Deva Path opened his eyes, turned around and looked at White Zetsu's clone expressionlessly.
The White Zetsu's clone choked with a smile, and said with a bitter face: "Uchiha Shisui."
"Shisui of the Body Flicker?"
Deva Path had heard of this person before, "Uchiha Clan's strongest Genjutsu Shinobi. He has made a lot of contributions for Konoha in the Third Shinobi World War."
"And he is also working Anbu, and is trusted by Yondaime Hokage. He used to work with Gekko Kanpū and Kakashi to chase down Orochimaru together." White Zetsu's clone added.
"What is the reason for defecting?" Deva Path asked.
White Zetsu's clone replied: "Attempting to use Sharingan to control Yondaime Hokage, Namikaze Minato."
"Control a village's Kage…"
Deva Path lowered his eyes, "Does the Uchiha Clan want to use this method to control Konoha?"
"It should be so. The information shows that this was done by Uchiha Fugaku instructing Shisui to do this, but in the end. it was an elder named Uchiha Mizusawa who took the blame." White Zetsu said.
After Fugaku handed over Mizusawa to Hokage Tower, Minato understood the meaning, and immediately locked him in Anbu's Headquarters, and then released relevant information to confuse the enemy.
White Zetsu's clone has a strong ability in collecting information, but it can't do spy, so he doesn't know the 'dirty' things in the middle.
"Do I need to send someone to contact Shisui of the Body Flicker?" White Zetsu's clone asked, tilting his head.
"Even Konoha can't escape the struggle for power."
Deva Path snorted coldly, and then muttered, "We need to be careful with Konoha's Missing-nin, after all, they already know our existence."
"I understand, I will investigate it clearly." White Zetsu responded, then turned and left
…
A few days later.
At a certain dock along the coast of the Land of Rivers, Kakuzu is wandering around the black market here at the moment, planning to do odd jobs to earn some money.
And when he was choosing a job, Hyuga Taki was basking in the forest twenty kilometers away.
His Byakugan is too special, coupled with the stroke on his forehead protector, once he enters the dock, he is bound to leave a deep impression. At that time, it will not be long by for the Hyuga Clan to come and 'clean up the house'.
Therefore, Taki chose to not enter any village.
And even if he needs to enter the crowd, he would wear a hood and cover his forehead protector.
At a certain moment, Taki's body suddenly shook, and his white pupils showed a strange expression.
'The main body wants to replace me inside the Akatsuki…'
Taki frowned slightly, and he is not unwilling, but when Akatsuki went out to act, there will be White Zetsu's clone intimately following him. Although letting White Zetsu's clone saw this will not reveal the identity of the main body, it is always a hassle.
Right now, the main body is guarding near the border of the Land of Fire and the Land of Rain. He must first find a way to get close to each other first, and then leave the Flying Thunder God Technique's imprint, so that the main body can teleport over to replace him the moment he dissipates.
Although the operation is difficult, the main body has already collected Minato's nerve reflexes, so it should not be a big problem.
As for the problem of falling into coma, the main body has replaced Kushina's Uzumaki Clan's physique with Naruto's Uzumaki Clan's physique, so the probability of fainting is almost zero.
But just in case, he still has to do make two-handed preparation!
"What are you thinking about?"
When Kakuzu came back, his face a bit unpleasant. It is because he did not find a suitable part-time job.
"I was thinking about why you like collecting money so much."
Taki said indifferently, "Obviously, all the money you make ends up in Konan's pocket."
Kakuzu sneered and said: "I also have an interest in reading ancient books, do you also care about it?"
Taki narrowed his eyes, and sneered: "Are you provoking me?"
"So what?"
Kakuzu looked at him disdainfully, and threatened, "I've read your profile. A mere Tokubetsu Jonin shouldn't be so arrogant, you should just obediently and honestly leave me alone!"
"What if I refuse?" Taki crossed his hands near his chest.
"Then I'll kill you!"
Kakuzu glared, and attacked instantly, "Doton: Doryūsō!" (Earth Release: Earth Flow Spears)
Bang~ bang~ bang~…
Dozens of sharp earth spears burst out from under Taki's feet.
"Let's talk if you can catch up."
Taki's figure flashed, and he galloped towards the north in an instant.
That direction is exactly where the main body is located.
Kakuzu didn't suspect him, and immediately chased him.
"It takes courage to form a team with Kakuzu."
A White Zetsu's clone suddenly got out of the ground. When he saw the figures two were about to disappear, he got into the ground, and quickly caught up to him.
Both Taki and Kakuzu fled and chased, and one day passed in a blink of an eye.
'This is almost a hundred kilometers away from the main body.'
'I can't go any further, as it would be bad if the White Zetsu's clone passed us to explore the front.'
Thinking of this, the galloping Taki stopped, stood still on a thick branch of a big tree, and then turned around and squatted down.
"You finished running away?" Seeing him stop, Kakuzu immediately stood on a branch ten meters away, looking at him coldly.
Taki chuckled, quietly took out a detonating talisman, covered it lightly with his right hand, pressed it against the branch, and said: "Come here!"
Kakuzu narrowed his eyes: "That thing can't scare me."
"How can I know if I don't try?"
While saying that, Taki ignited the Explosive Tag with Chakra.
From Explosive Tag's ignition to complete explosion, depending on the quality, there will be an extension of one to three seconds in the middle.
And this Explosive Tag is the one with the worst kind, which means that the main body has three seconds.
The moment the Explosive Tag exploded, Taki also disbanded himself.
Boom!
A burst of white mist exploded from him violently, and in the blink of an eye, it covered the Explosive Tag on the branch and also covered the Flying Thunder God Techique's imprint on the Explosive Tag.
In the instant that Taki dissipated, the ring on his index finger of his right hand fell directly on the Explosive Tag, and at the same time, a robe with a black background and red cloud patterns also slowly fell.
Although Taki is a just a shadow clone, the clothes and ring on his body are real, so they cannot be dissipated.
At this moment.
Kanpū, no, Taki, who is one hundred kilometers away, suddenly opened his eyes. He immediately activated Sage Mode, and the Natural Energy around him frantically gathered on him, and at the same time, he took off the black windbreaker on his body, and after 1.5 seconds, Taki has disappeared.
In the white smoke, Taki suddenly appeared. Then he picked up the black robe with red cloud patterns and put it on his body with lightning speed. At the same time, he picked up the ring on the Explosive Tag and put it on the index finger of his right hand.
In Kakuzu's eyes ten meters away, he only saw Taki detonated the Explosive Tag, and then performed some kind of deceptive smoke technique.
He watched quietly, one second, two seconds, three seconds …
Boom!!
The Explosive Tag exploded!
The surging air waves and flames instantly blasted the thick branches into countless sawdust, and inside the flame, a figure wearing a black robe with red cloud patterns jumped backwards at an extremely fast speed.
The wind billowed, blowing the robe on Taki's body.
During the explosion, he turned off the Sage Mode quietly.
Seeing Taki coming out, Kakuzu said with a sneer: "Are you showing off your reflexes to me?"
To be able to jump out of the explosion range immediately before the explosion, it is impossible to do it without a strong reaction ability!
But no matter how much Kakuzu thinks about it, he couldn't imagine everything that happened in the smoke just now.
Unless he used Sensor Ninjutsu to sense inside the white smoke, but apparently, neither Kakuzu nor White Zetsu has such a leisurely thought.
Taki jumped onto a branch twenty meters away, rubbed the ring on the index finger of his right hand with his left hand, and secretly exclaimed in his heart, 'It was so cool~~!!'
Although after collecting Minato's nerve reflexes, Kanpū confirmed that his reaction has become much faster through tests, but only in this kind of life and death this life-and-death situation, can he realize the horror of having this kind of nerve reflexes!
"I'm just proving my strength." Taki said with certainty, "If you want to kill me, you can't do it alone."
'Why does he feel like a different person??'
Kakuzu frowned, and immediately left it alone. He's trying to kill him first because he is already tired from doing odd jobs every day, and he has to face this bastard's Byakugan all day long, so he felt that it was time to change his teammate!
Kakuzu formed seals with both hands, jumped to the ground, and slapped the ground with both palms: "Doton: Dosekiryū!" (Earth Release: Earth and Stone Dragon)
Boom!
The grounf trembled, the earth and rocks cracked, and a ferocious stone dragon came out of the cracks wildly. Its ugly waist as thick as a water tank swayed in the air, and it slammed into Taki.
Taki stared, and the veins near his Byakugan suddenly protruded ferociously.
"Gentle Fist Art - Eight-Trigrams Two Palms!"
Taki advances instead of retreating. Majestic Chakra pours into both of his palms, and when he crossed with the stone dragon, he slaps it on the neck fiercely.
Boom!
Amidst the earth and rocks splashing, Taki kept walking and continued to move forward.
"Gentle Fist Art - Eight-Trigrams Four Palms!"
"Eight palms!"
"Sixteen palms!"
Every time Taki took a step forward, he slapped the stone dragon several times, until the two completely crossed each other.
With a bang, the stone dragon completely collapsed into a pile of earth and rocks, and fell.
"You seem to have a few tricks."
Kakuzu sneered, and was about to continue when White Zetsu's clone drilled out from the tree trunk on his right: "Stop, Kakuzu, Pain will be angry if you do this "
Kakuzu shrugged his shoulders, and said innocently but with a malicious smile: "I just don't want to see those Byakugan anymore!"
"What happened with Byakugan?"
Taki is very upset, he finally collected and merged Byakugan, so what's wrong it?
'Did my Byakugan ever ate your rice?'
