In Land of Water, in a random place, a vortex suddenly appeared in the air, as if space was fluctuating.
Immediately after, three people emerged out of thin air.
The three people were all dressed in black robes, and two of them had patterns of red clouds embroidered on their robe.
One of them was a woman with purple hair wearing. Her expression was very calm and cold.
The other was a man with orange hair. This man looked like a street thug. He had piercings not only in his ear, but also on his nose.
The man in the black robe standing in the middle looked around and said,
"This is Land of Water. According to the intel, that samurai appeared in the Land of Water four months ago. Half a month ago, he had made a move once. He should not have left the Land of Water yet."
They were the the first members of Akatsuki, Obito, Konan and Nagato.
White Zetsu provided a lot of information, but in order to avoid the Five Great Shinobi Countries' eyes or ran into an accident, Obito cautiously made his move with the others instead of recruiting people immediately.
According to White Zetsu's information, four months ago, an extraordinarily powerful samurai suddenly appeared on the Land of Water!
Why was this samurai extraordinary? Because when he was first released from Land of Water, he was standing on a small fishing boat chasing a pirate ship that was more than ten meters tall.
At that time, there happened to be a merchant ship passing by, the people onboard saw a samurai cut the pirate ship into two with one slash and then left.
Later on, there were frequent news of swordsmen attacking Kirigakure and challenging their skilled Shinobi, which made this samurai become more well-known.
No one knew his name. Because he wore a mask during the attack, even Land of Water's arrest warrant only had the nameless samurai written on it, with a a rough drawing of the samurai's figure. It was also said that the samurai was able to use Wind Nature Type along with some sensory Ninjutsu.
Cutting off a pirate ship was nothing special. a Jonin's Fire Release could easily a pirate ship, after all.
What Obito was interested in was how the samurai could attack Kirigakure many times and still escaped unscathed.
Akatsuki's goal was to collect Tailed-Beasts, and aside from Seven-Tails, the rest of the Tailed-Beasts were in Five Great Shinobi Countries, so Akatsuki would inevitably stir problem in the Five Great Shinobi Countries.
Obito did not think that the Five Great Shinobi Countries would obediently give him their Tailed-Beasts if he said that he wanted to create a peaceful world.
That samurai who could attack Kirigakure many times and escaoed unscather was the talent that Akatsuki needed.
"I think we should check on Kakuzu first. The information about him is more detailed. A greedy person who betrayed his village. We can easily lure him out, and it won't be difficult to recruit him. On the contrary, this unknown samurai has so little information. Even if we find him, he may not necessarily agree to join us " Konan said expressionlessly.
Konan was always wary of this masked man who called himself Madara Uchiha.
Obito glanced at Konan indifferently.
He could feel that this woman was very wary of him. However, Obito did not care. Nagato also did not trust him completely. They were all using each other.
Obito explained, "I naturally have a plan. Other than finding the samurai, I have another thing to do."
Rin's death had a lot to do with Kirigakure. Obito would not forget this, so Kirigakure was also one of his targets.
Not long after the three of them arrived, a short figure holding a club with uneven sized hooks on each end suddenly appeared from not far away, blocking the three's path.
"Fourth Mizukage..." Obito looked at the green-haired shortie who suddenly appeared and stated the shortie's identity to everyone.
Unlike back then, Obito had done a lot of preparations for his grand plan, so he naturally recognized the Fourth Mizukage.
"Who are you?" Yagura held the iron club in his hand and looked at the three suspicious people in front of him.
This remote place was where he usually used to practice Tailed Beast Ball.
With Rin's death, the plan to send the Three-Tails to Konoha and have it rampage there failed. After Three-Tails revival, it was then sealed into Yagura, making him the current Three-Tails Jinchuriki.
Over the past year, Yagura had been practicing all kinds of Jinchuriki's abilities, including the most powerful one, Tailed Beast Ball!
"Are you with that samurai?" Yagura asked.
The samurai annoyed him as they seemed to be able to use a Sensory Ninjutsu because they could find the weakest place in Kirigakure and escape every single time after stirring up trouble.
Last time, the samurai even defeated Fuguki Suikazan, a member of the Seven Ninja Samurai of the Mist fairly easily.
According to Fuguki Suikazan, the samurai was able to dish out a slash wave without using Chakra, rendering his muscular body useless.
The silver lining was that the samurai had never killed any of Kirigakure Shinobi. It seemed that the samurai was just testing out his strength as he had only knocked his opponent out so far.
However, this still made Yagura upset. Kirigakure was one of the Five Great Shinobi Countries, and that samurai made it his training ground?
"Not now, but he will be one of us soon." Obito replied vaguely and then gave Nagato and Konan a signal.
"Then you'll have to..." Just as Yagura was about to swung his iron club to drive away the three people before him, he realized that his body was being dragged toward them.
"Banshō Ten'in!"
Reading Obito's signal correctly, Nagato directly used Banshō Ten'in to pull Yagura toward him.
Yagura had never seen this kind of Ninjutsu before. He started to panic a little, but soon he thought of a countermeasure. He directly used Tailed Beast Partial Transformation, generating a tail full of thorns on his back.
Yagura planted his tail in the ground, trying to stop the attracting force by planting himself on the ground.
Yagura indeed had a good idea and a good idea, but he was a little late as he was close enough to the three of them.
Even if reacted in time, Yagura was still pulled toward Nagato, where Konan and Obito attacked together.
Konan waved her small hand, and a large number of explosive paper tags were attached to Yagura.
At the same time, Obito grabbed onto Yagura's shoulder. His Mangekyo Sharingan also spun crazily, sucking him into Kamui's dimension.
Once he entered Kamui dimension, he could do as he pleased no matter who his opponent was.
The scenery in front of Yagura suddenly changed, and he found himself in a strange place.
Before Yagura could think where it was, all the explosive tags on his body exploded.
For the record, a single explosive tag was no less powerful than a Jonin's Fire Release from point-blank range.
And Yagura's entire body was covered by explosive tags...
Boom!!
A series of violent explosions occurred in Kamui dimension.
