Amegakure.
Three Amegakure Shinobi carefully walked into this seemingly normal village.
Because the two-man team that was ordered to search this village was nowhere to be found, they were sent here to investigate the situation.
Were they killed by the Akatsuki, or were there other situations?
The three of them quickly found their target. It was a house that didn't seem that old but broken as it seemed to be destroyed by Ninjutsu.
The three of them began to scatter so that they wouldn't be decimated in one fell swoop, even if they were ambushed.
Shinobi, who was standing in the middle, suddenly kicked open the wall and saw quite a surprising scene inside.
The ground was covered in blood and debris.
The Amegakure Shinobi in the middle carefully checked the surrounding. He picked up a piece of clothing on the ground and said, "It is our uniform. From the looks of it, they must have been minced into pieces by a powerful Wind Release."
"Wind Release? Is there any Akatsuki member who's good at Wind Release?" The Amegakure Shinobi on the left asked doubtfully.
"The one named Nagato can use Wind Release. However, if it's him, the wound they suffer shouldn't be like this." Amegakure Shinobi on the right said.
Amegakure Shinobi on the middle looked carefully at the house and said, "I don't think it's caused by Wind Release. It is the wound caused by a sword."
He pointed at the walls and marks on the floor and said, "Look, aren't these marks too clean? They are the marks of a sword. If it was caused by Wind Release, it should be a bit rougher.
The other two also observed carefully for a while and found that was indeed the case.
The three searched the entire room and found no one, so they directly gathered all the villagers.
"Has a person with a sword come to your village recently? This involves the safety of the country. Those who know but remain quiet are considered committing treason!" the Amegakure Shinobi threatened.
The owner of the house could only helplessly walk out as he was threatened.
After his house was broken, he evacuated to his relative's house. He did not expect to encounter this kind thing again.
He honestly told the three Amegakure Shinobi what happened.
Slash!
A white light flashed, and the head of the owner of the house rolled down in an instant. Blood gushed out like a fountain, and the villagers who stood near him were drenched in blood.
The Amegakure Shinobi on the middle sheathed his dagger back with a straight face and said coldly, "Did you see that? That is the result of harboring a spy. Where is his family?"
Seeing that no one answered, the Amegakure Shinobi said in a cold voice again, "Don't make me repeat myself."
Then, he looked at the villagers with an intimidating gaze.
A villager nearby couldn't stand the momentum of Amegakure Shinobi.
"Show yourself. You have to take responsibility for your actions. Because of you, we lost two companions."
Although they knew the names, Amegakure Shinobi was too lazy to find them and waited until they showed themselves.
Out of the pressure from the crowd, a woman soon came out with a five-year-old girl.
The woman knelt down and begged frantically. "Sir, I don't care if I have to die, but please let my child go. She is only five years old and does not know anything."
However, that Amegakure Shinobi did not care and indifferently said to the two companions beside him, "Kill her!"
The other two Amegakure Shinobi pulled out the short swords and killed the woman and the little girl.
Faced with this bloody scene, the villagers trembled and couldn't even make any movements.
Ordinary people were powerless in front of Shinobi. This had been drilled into their heads.
A person had bloodshot eyes and clenched their fists tightly while some people around them tried to hold him back.
"Kurezan, why do you think the three of them come here at this critical moment." After leaving the village, one of the Amegakure Shinobi asked his companion.
"Why do you care so much? Just do your job. With Hanzo-sama on our side, we will definitely become the sixth Great Shinobi Country." Kurezan said lightly.
"We are nothing compared to you. You are about to be promoted to Jonin, right?" Another Amegakure Shinobi said with some envy.
"Yes, it has been confirmed. The appointment letter will come in a week." There was a hint of pride in Kurezan's indifferent tone.
He was only nineteen this year and would become Jonin soon. It was safe to say that his future was bright.
...
After the rain stopped, Nagasawa and the other two set off again and embarked on the journey with no clear destination.
On the way, Tsugatsu asked, "Pops, where are you going?"
"Gu ra ra ra ra." Nagasawa laughed and said, "I just want to find more sons like you."
Tsugatsu was stunned for a moment. He did not expect such an answer.
"Why is Amegakure so slow? It has been several days, but they have not found us." Musashi said in disappointment.
Ever since that day, through the villagers' description, Amegakure learned that the three of them were wanted criminals who had previously wandered around the Country of Grass.
Several Amegakure Shinobi were sent to deal with them.
However, none of them were strong enough. They were all killed by Musashi and Tsugatsu without Nagasawa even lifting a finger.
Seeing that Nagasawa had only killed a few Chunin in an instant, he wasn't surprised that Amegakure took him lightly.
Musashi was a very good fighter. He had been developing new moves recently. It might not be good against strong opponents, but it should be effective against Chunin.
When Musashi was busy badmouthing Amegakure, suddenly, there was a spiraling void that targeted swirl out of thin air.
Nagasawa pulled Tsugatsu and Musashi behind him. Only Obito made his entrance this way.
Sure enough, a man wearing a swirl-patterned mask came out of the vortex.
"Who are you?" Nagasawa remained calm. He held Murakumogiri tightly and pretended not to know Obito even though he was wondering if he could directly cut Obito to death deep down.
"It doesn't matter who I am. What matters is that I can help you." Obito said lightly.
Although Obito did not plan to include Whitebeard in his Eye of the Moon plan, since Whitebeard happened to be in Amegakure and he wanted to destroy Amegakure, he could use this opportunity to have Whitebeard attack Amgakure.
"Help? Who do you think I am? I am Whitebeard!" Nagasawa's Color of Supreme King Haki was directed at Obito.
This powerful aura even set off a gust of wind that bent some bigger trees and crushed some of the thinner trees.
That was the result of Nagasawa activating his Color of Supreme King Haki. Obito's face under the mask instantly became serious.
"Sorry, I have underestimated you due to a lack of information." Obito immediately apologized.
Nagasawa was a bit on guard. After all, Obito had awakened Mangekyo Sharingan, and Hashirama's cells in his body, so Nagasawa couldn't afford to underestimate him.
If Obito showed an opening just now in front of Color of Supreme King Haki just now, Nagasawa would immediately use Yin Seal: Release to release Strength of a Hundred Seal and kill him here.
"Tell me your purpose." Nagasawa said lightly.
"I want to cooperate with you to deal with Amegakure."
"I know that Amegakure is after you because so they're after me, too. We have a common enemy." Obito revealed his intentions.
"What makes a pretentious guy like you think you have the right to cooperate with me?" Nagasawa said disapprovingly.
Obito did not get angry and directly activated Mangekyō Sharingan.
The white mask covered Obito's entire face, except for his eye, revealing his right Mangekyō Sharingan.
"Don't worry, my name is Madara Uchiha. Perhaps you have heard of my name before. Have you changed your mind now?"
"Madara Uchiha? Then I am Hashirama Senju!" Nagasawa laughed loudly.
Obito: …
This person didn't seem to be easy to fool.
"I actually didn't die during the battle at Valley of the End. I merely hide myself..." Obito tried to explain.
"Enough of those useless things. Just get to the point." Nagasawa said.
Since Obito had gone through the trouble to see him, Nagasawa wanted to see how far Obito's plan had progressed and whether Nagato was familiar with Rinnegan.
"Amegakure has always targeted my companions and me. If we show the slightest tracks, hordes of Amegakure Shinobi will definitely go after us. I will lure them out by revealing my whereabouts. Then you and I will work together to kill them all. I have a mole in Amegakure, so I can set things up to suit our needs."
Obito talked about his plan.
Nagasawa shook his head and said, "I have a better idea. Have your spy tell my whereabouts to those Amegakure Shinobi so that they can send more forces to kill me. If I kill all of them, Hanzo will be furious for sure. That's when your spy holds one of my children hostage. However, the one he will actually hold hostage is not my children but someone else who can use Transformation Technique. Then have your spy threaten to kill my son in public to intimidate the other Shinobi so that they would not dare to do anything to Amegakure. At the same time, that can also attract me to rescue my son. By that time, all the Amegakure will definitely concentrate their forces in one place. If we combine forces along with your spy, I'm sure we'll be able to decimate all of them in one fell swoop!"
Obito thought about it and found that it seemed that Whitebeard's plan was more meticulous than his.
If he were Hanzo, he would definitely do as Nagasawa said.
If Whitebeard did not come, he would kill Witebeard's son, which would at least restore Amegakure's reputation and make the villagers think that Whitebeard was nothing but a coward.
And if Whitebeard indeed came, it would be even better. If he could kill him and his son, Amegakure would become even more famous.
However, that was only if Amegakure did capture Whitebeard's son and defeated Whitebeard.
However, Obito felt that with Whitebeard and him, Amegakure would not stand a chance even if Nagato was not familiar with Rinnegan yet.
