In the Land of Earth, it was still a dark cave.
A strange white creature suddenly ran in, shouting.
"Not good! Madara-sama! Not good! Madara-sama!"
Uchiha Madara, who was intubated from the back, was so annoyed by the noise that he had no choice but to wake up from his deep sleep.
Uchiha Madara resisted the urge to slap it to death, frowned, and said, "If you have something to say, spit it out!"
The white creature was stunned for a moment, then pushed its butt hard, and finally said awkwardly: "No, sorry Madara-sama, I don't have that function, there's really nothing I can do!"
Boom!
Uchiha Madara, expressionless, controlled the Gedo Statue and smashed it to pieces.
Immediately, an identical white creature entered.
"Madara-sama, Madara-sama, something is wrong with what you instructed us to monitor!"
Uchiha Madara frowned and said: "What went wrong? Nagato? Or the newly established Land of Whirlpools?"
"Everything went wrong!"
Uchiha Madara: "..."
He suddenly felt tired. Can't one of these Zetsus speak normally?
Ignoring Zetsu's odd behavior, he said in a deep voice: "What's the problem?"
"The people from the Land of Whirlpools sent someone to take Uzumaki Nagato back to the Land of Whirlpools!"
Uchiha Madara's eyes narrowed.
Uzumaki Nagato had several important tasks in his plan, so he couldn't be reckless!
But now there was contact with the Land of Whirlpools, which he previously observed through the Third Mizukage?
Why did they suddenly take Nagato back?
What did they find out?
"Did you find out why they took Nagato back?"
Zetsu said, making a funny gesture: "Ah, this new Land of Whirlpools seems to be recalling the Uzumaki clan members who were scattered due to the previous country's destruction!"
Uchiha Madara pondered, it seemed that this new Land of Whirlpools could not be separated from the Uzumaki clan.
Otherwise, they wouldn't care so much about the Uzumaki clan's bloodline.
That's fine. With this information, at least there's no need to worry about Nagato's life being in danger.
However, it would be somewhat difficult to figure out how to have Nagato revive him later.
But there was nothing he could do with his current body.
Relying on the Gedo Statue to maintain basic bodily functions was already very good.
Unfortunately, there wasn't anyone who could carry out his plan at the moment.
Now that he was awake, Uchiha Madara was ready to learn more about the current situation in the ninja world.
When he heard from Zetsu about the appearance of Hollows from the Land of Grass, he could only frown.
"Void? Monsters with strange appearances?"
Well, when did such strange things appear in the ninja world?
But...
He looked at Zetsu and suddenly felt it wasn't that strange.
After all, even creatures like Zetsu existed, so what else was impossible?
Are people from the Land of Whirlpools called Shinigami?
Another unfamiliar term.
However, during the Sengoku period, he did hear that Shinigami masks were enshrined in the Uzumaki clan's ancestral hall.
It seems that this group of Shinigami should be related to the masks enshrined by the Uzumaki clan.
Judging from the tone of Hollow's leader, it seems like Hollow and Shinigami don't want to deal with each other?
Uchiha Madara became drowsy again.
After a good sleep, why do you feel that the ninja world has changed so much?
Forget it, as long as it doesn't affect his plan, don't worry about it.
After sending away Zetsu, Uchiha Madara fell into a deep sleep again.
......
The Land of Thunder, Cloud Shinobi Village.
There was a bang in Raikage's office, followed by the sound of a table collapsing.
Third Raikage said angrily: "Yerubi, were you killed?"
The secretary lowered his head and said, "Yes!"
"Have you found out who did it?"
The secretary shook his head and added: "Although I don't know the specific murderer, after Yerubi was discovered, Kusagakure Village not far away was also destroyed."
"And we learned from the survivors that the ones who destroyed Kusagakure Village seemed to be a group of monsters named Hollows!"
Third Raikage's eyes narrowed, "Hollow? Monsters?"
When were these creatures hidden in the ninja world?
Could it be that these Hollows were the ones who killed Yerubi?
"Forget it, never mind, this matter must be related to the Land of Whirlpools anyway!"
Third Raikage looked determined.
When Kusagakure sent them a message before, in addition to stating that they wanted to use Uzumaki Haruna to establish diplomatic relations with the Land of Thunder, they also clearly informed them that Uzumaki Haruna was being targeted by the Land of Whirlpools.
Now that Kusagakure Village has been destroyed and Uzumaki Haruna is missing, no matter how you look at it, it is inseparable from the Land of Whirlpools.
"In other words, that Uzumaki Haruna might have been taken back to the Land of Whirlpools?"
Third Raikage paced the office girl.
Let's put aside Yorabi's matters for now, Jinchūriki's matters are the most important now.
But the best experimenter was taken away by the Land of Whirlpools, and the Jinchūriki plan was about to abort.
No! Absolutely not!
Third Raikage's face darkened and he said: "Issue a mission to let our people sneak into the Land of Whirlpools and see if we can find an opportunity to kidnap two people from the Uzumaki clan!"
"Yes!"
Uzumaki Chihiro, who is far away in the Land of Whirlpools, would never have imagined that the moves used by Cloud Shinobi Village against Konoha in the original book would be used on the Land of Whirlpools this time!
However, the Land of Whirlpools is not a silent Konoha...
A few days later, information on the Rain Country battlefield was also sent to Sarutobi Hiruzen.
"The Shinigami of the Land of Whirlpools are out again?"
Sarutobi Hiruzen was a little speechless, why is there the Land of Whirlpools everywhere?
But after seeing that the Shinigami from the Land of Whirlpools went to the Land of Rain with the purpose of bringing back a member of the Uzumaki clan, it suddenly dawned on him.
But...
You just picked up people, why did you get into a fight with Hanzō of the Salamander?
The reason turned out to be that when Hanzō of the Salamander was fighting with his three disciples, Hanzō of the Salamander flew a kunai with a detonating talisman near the Uzumaki tribe and was harmed?
This...
What a dominating Land of Whirlpools!
What shocked him even more was that Hanzō of the Salamander, who had hung up three of his disciples and beat them, was actually beaten to death by the captain of the Land of Whirlpools!?
"The captain of the sixth division is actually a new captain..."
Sarutobi Hiruzen looked heavy and couldn't help but take a long puff of his cigarette.
Staring at the information in his hand, he couldn't help but think: "Is it possible that the captain of the Thirteenth Division of the Land of Whirlpools really has Kage-level or even higher strength??"
Can a country, and it was originally a small country, really produce so many talented people?
Even in Konoha, which has fertile land and abundant talents, there has never been a period when thirteen shadows appeared at the same time!
Temporarily suppressing the fear in his heart.
Although the changes in the Land of Whirlpools made him very uneasy, Konoha's attention now still needs to be on the Land of Rain.
Speaking of which, the Captain of the Sixth Division of the Land of Whirlpools indirectly helped Konoha.
Hanzō of the Salamander's life and death are unknown, and Konoha has one less constraint in the Land of Rain.
Iwagakure also saw that the situation was not good, and withdrew from the war early. He did not want to continue to waste manpower and materials, and left the battlefield to Konoha and Sunagakure.
Without the interference of the two forces, Konoha can also open its arms and fight Sunagakure.
Solve the war with Sunagakure as soon as possible, and then start discussing the position of the Land of Whirlpools for Konoha.
"Sakumo is almost done. Now that the war with the Land of Rain is over, it's time for Sakumo to go to the Sunagakure battlefield..."
