Somewhere in Amegakure, the huge craters and cavities were turning into pools of water; a war just happened here.
Corpses of hundreds of rain shinobis were lying on the ground lifelessly, as for their leader? He was kneeling on the ground; his head hung down, surrounded by three people.
Then the person standing in the middle reached out his hand and placed it on Hanzo's head, soon grabbing an ethereal blue silhouette he pulled it out of Hanzo.
Then, after a few seconds of silence he finally said, "The blue dwarf, we need to look for him."

Inside a brightly lit room that had wooden decor, four people were sitting on four couches that were placed in the middle of the room.
Among them, three were men and one was a woman. One of the men, and perhaps the only man with black hair instead of grey hair like the rest of them, had bandages wrapped around his right eye.
This was the Konoha council, and right now all of them were summoned here because of an urgent summon by the third Hokage.
After they all sat down. Koharu, the female elder, was the first to speak, "What is the matter Hiruzen? You know how busy we are, so why did you summon us?"
Hiruzen looked at Koharu for a moment before sighing and taking out two sheets of paper, then he threw it towards the middle of the table.
Danzo, who read the title of the first paper, frowned and said, "A message from the raikage?"
Hiruzen nodded, "It arrived this morning. The raikage has requested some information."
"Just information? Then what's the problem, just give it to him." Homura, the final elder of the council, stated.
"That's the thing, how am I supposed to give him information that even I don't know." Hiruzen let out a long breath.
"What do you mean? What information is he requesting?" Danzo asked with a stoic face.
"He wants us to give him information about an Uchiha called Enkai," Hiruzen said while leaning forward and pressing his elbows on his thighs.
"Uchiha Enkai? I have never heard of him. This is Raikage's trap." Danzo shook his head.
Hiruzen stared at Danzo for a second before turning to the rest of them, "What are your thoughts?"
"I believe this is a trap planned by Kumo to try something on Konoha again," before the other elders could speak however, Danzo spoke up again, while directly looking at Hiruzen.
Hiruzen stared at him for a few seconds, before breaking eye contact and sighing, "Then take a look at the next page."
Danzo did as he was told. He picked up the sheets of paper from the table and turned it to look at the next page. When he read the contents of the second page he raised his eyebrows multiple times before just throwing it on the table.
"Can you even believe that?" Danzo let out a mocking laugh, the others who saw the second page noted that it was a bounty page that had the name of Enkai on top.
"Hah! This is clearly a trap from Kumo. No Shinobi can possibly have all those jutsus, let alone a brat. The only Uchiha that's alive is Uchiha Itachi." Danzo laughed again.
"Danzo, my friend, did you look at the bounty money Kumo is offering for him?" Hiruzen said with a disappointed look.
"Forty thousand ryo? That's certainly a lot-"
"Look again."
Danzo silently stared at Hiruzen for a second and then looked at the bounty money again, only this time his eyes widened. "W-What?"

"His presumed age is thirteen. He can use poison, He is as fast as the fourth raikage if not faster, He has incredible stealth and infiltration prowess, He has a Sharingan and He can fly." Said a slightly obese man as he read a bounty sheet to the person beside him.
"It's like he has an ability from every great village." The said person voiced out as he stared at the setting sun from the borders of his village.
"What do you suggest we do, lord third, this might be a trap by Kumo." The slightly obese man looked up to see the person beside him. Even though this obese man's lord was quite short he had to look up to see his face, because his lord rarely stands on the ground.
"You think Kumo is rich enough to set a bounty of four hundred million ryo as a trap? This is more serious than that." The third lord turned around and looked at his assistant, and then continued, "Regardless if this is a trap or not, we will do what we have always done; wait and watch." The Lord said before floating away.

At the same time when this was happening, inside of a dark room, a masked man was holding two sheets of paper. One of them was the bounty poster of Enkai.
He stared at it for a good while before saying, "A wild card has appeared." Then he opened a swirling portal and walked out of the fourth mizukage's office.
______
Inside a dark cave, a golden-eyed person looked at the bounty and slithered his lips. Then he handed it to the person kneeling next to him and walked away.
______
Clank! Clank!
The sound of someone hammering metal was resounding from deep within the cave. This cave was located on an unnamed island close to the land of fire.
From the outside, even though the cave looked ordinary, it was far from it. Upon entering, the first thing one will see would be hundreds of silkworms that are sleeping in their cocoon state. Just beside it, the ink sacks of octopuses and squids were also hanging.
Further in, there were huge tubs of boiling water where trees were being boiled for paper.
And even further in, where the deepest part of the cave was, the resident of the cave was hammering metal on an anvil. Whilst fire raged beside him.
After he was done hammering he put whatever he was hammering inside of a water bucket beside him, causing a sizzling sound to spread around the area.
Ssssshhhh!
Then he took it out and placed it somewhere else for further polishing. Feeling happy with the blacksmithing progress he has made he decided to step out of his cave.
He walked past all the different sections of his cave and finally, the sunlight kissed his face. Enkai had slight difficulty adjusting to the sunlight but soon he felt his lips rising, it's been a while since he had stepped out of this cave.
"Alright! It's final, today I am having meat!" Enkai said, with a radiant smile.
Deciding on that, he blinked out of the cave and entered a different cave. This cave was much different from the previous cave; it was much smaller, it didn't have rooms and it only had multiple chests inside of it.
From it, he took out some green clothes and hunting equipment and went hunting in the nearby woods.
Three and a half months have passed after the big fight between him and the fourth raikage, Enkai has been staying here ever since.
He didn't want to live here for THIS long, but he had no other choice.
Almost every single piece of his equipment was gone after that fight, digested inside the chimaera's stomach.
He wanted to buy some of his equipment back but that's impossible.
After all, everything he wears is custom-made by him and needs high-quality materials to make. Left with no choice, Enkai decided to make a base somewhere.
At first, he thought maybe he should look for a base inside of the continent. But considering he lives in a world filled with sensor nins and byakugan users who can see everything in a ten-kilometre radius or more.
He quickly scrapped that idea and chose a small island close to the land of fire for his hidden base location.
This island was pretty good. He can make silk from all the silkworms that live here. He can make paper from all the trees here. And there were multiple caves here; perfect for mining and hiding.
'This is the best biome for Minecraft IRL', he thought while carrying a dead boar he just killed. But this base wasn't good enough.
Even though there is practically everything he will ever need, there is something else that is better than this – a flying base.
To be honest when he got out of the summoning Island his first thought was to just raid and massacre all the sky shinobis and take over that sky base because he knew how to get to the land of sky.
The reason he immediately didn't act on that was because he needed something very important to pilot the sky base – A jinchuriki, more specifically, a jinchuriki who can stay inside of the sky base at all times.
Even though he himself was a jinchuriki, he couldn't be inside of the sky base all the time. He needs at least one more jinchuriki, so that way they can swap places with him.
Also, even though he was a jinchuriki he had never managed to talk to the Kyuubi at least once since he had been here, so there was that as well.
Luckily, if his calculations are right, canon started a week ago, and he knew the perfect jinchuuriki who could help him!
After eating an entire boar for dinner and another for breakfast in the morning, he summoned his eagle and headed straight towards the land of fire.
Next destination; The Land of Waves.
