Chapter 72 We meet again, the kid from Amegakure.
In Amegakure, under a hazy sky, Konan walked towards Pain, the Deva Path.
"Nagato, what's wrong?"
Pain slowly turned around: "Danzo is currently active in the Land of Water."
Konan was startled upon hearing this: "The Land of Water? Wasn't it rumored that Danzo died in the Konoha rebellion?"
Pain shook his head slightly, his tone becoming even more grave: "Danzo is not dead. He is currently operating within the Land of Water, and his goal is to completely control Kirigakure."
"The purge of the Daimyo's residence in the Land of Water not long ago was carried out by Root."
"So, what are your plans?"
Pain remained silent for a moment, then slowly formed several hand seals: "Naturally, to stop him."
Before he finished speaking, Pain's figure vanished into thin air like smoke, and then he quickly used a summoning jutsu to head towards the Land of Water.
A moment later, within the Land of Water, amidst a thick fog, Pain slowly emerged, followed by the other six Pains, who arrived at an astonishing speed.
Meanwhile, Konan and Nagato, who was in a wheelchair, also successfully arrived at the border of the Land of Water using a reverse summoning technique.
Beneath the thick fog, Konan looked at Nagato with some worry: "Are you sure you can find Danzo's whereabouts quickly?"
The man in the wheelchair, Nagato, was pale-faced, his frail body appearing as if he might be blown away by the wind at any moment...
"The elder of the Water Kingdom has secretly contacted us. He has made it clear that he wants to hire our Akatsuki organization to deal with these invaders."
"Itachi and Juzo Biwa have arrived ahead of time and are investigating Danzo's whereabouts."
It's clear that Akatsuki's main focus lately has been on the unusual events in the Land of Water...
Because Black Zetsu mentioned one thing...
The masked man may have already taken control of Kirigakure...
Against the backdrop of an apocalyptic world, the Land of Water and the entire Hidden Mist Village may become a gathering place for apocalyptic madmen.
Therefore, Payne must find a way to eliminate these unstable factors.
Xiao Nan still looked uneasy and asked in a low voice, "Should we notify the others in the organization to come and provide support?"
Nagato gently shook his head: "No need, I will take care of it myself this time."
Meanwhile, on the other side, Danzo, leading the Root ninjas, finally stopped hiding and swaggered into the entrance of Kirigakure.
Before the village gate, the thick and eerie fog gradually dissipated, and the Fourth Mizukage, Yagura, stood in front with a cold expression, followed by a group of gloomy-faced elite Kirigakure ninja, quietly waiting for Danzo's arrival.
Danzo, wearing a heavy black straw hat, walked slowly.
Looking at Yagura who was approaching, Danzo said calmly, "Lord Mizukage, it's an honor to meet you."
Yagura, however, remained expressionless and unmoved: "Shimura Danzo, and everyone from Konoha's Root, welcome to Kirigakure."
However, just as Yagura finished speaking, an aged and dignified voice suddenly rang out from afar: "Wait, Lord Mizukage."
As the sound rang out, an elderly man with white hair slowly emerged from the mist.
Everyone present immediately bowed in respect: "Master Yuan."
The master stared at Danzo, his eyes filled with wariness and hostility, then spoke solemnly and calmly...
"Shimura Danzo is a rogue ninja wanted by Konoha. If our Kirigakure openly harbors him, it could lead to serious consequences."
Upon hearing Master Yuan's words, the atmosphere around them suddenly became heavy and subtle, and the once quiet gate of Kirigakure fell into a tense and eerie silence.
Yagura's indifferent expression paused slightly before returning to its usual calm. He replied indifferently, "Master Yuan, I have already made arrangements for this matter. There is no need to worry."
Upon hearing this, Master Yuan said, "Lord Mizukage, are you aware of the potential risks of doing this? We cannot rashly accept such a dangerous person just for the sake of temporary convenience."
Danzo stood aside, quietly watching the scene unfold before him, a hint of mockery and contempt in the depths of his eyes.
He had already prepared for this, and seeing the master's performance...
I found it somewhat comical and laughable.
However, at that moment, Danzo seemed to be deep in thought...
He sensed a watchful gaze, one that was secretly locking onto him.
Danzo frowned slightly, quickly becoming alert. He looked up and stared at the thick fog around him, trying to find the source of that strange gaze.
In the shadows in the distance, Pain watched the delicate standoff before him with a serious and solemn expression.
Shortly afterward, the ground suddenly rippled, and Black Zetsu slowly emerged from the ground, accompanied by Itachi Uchiha, whose expression had slightly returned to calm, and Juzo Biwa, who was carrying a large sword on his shoulder.
"leader,"
Black Zetsu's hoarse voice carried a calm tone...
"The situation of Suzaku has stabilized for the time being."
Pain nodded slightly upon hearing this, then his gaze returned to Danzo and Master Yuan in the distance.
He narrowed his eyes, and under the vision of the Rinnegan, everything in front of him became incredibly clear and transparent.
"As expected, the Fourth Mizukage, Yagura, had already been controlled by genjutsu."
Black Zetsu nodded silently.
He knew better than anyone that the internal strife in Kirigakure was orchestrated by Obito.
Now that they are completely hostile to Obito, the Hidden Mist Village, a hidden pawn in Obito's hands, must be removed without hesitation.
The key now is to use the power of Nagato's Rinnegan to completely free Mizukage Yagura from the control of genjutsu.
Thinking of this, Pain slowly raised his palm, preparing to quickly form hand seals and use the unique power of the Rinnegan to break the illusion control on the Mizukage Yagura.
However, just as Payne looked up...
A cold, shrewd voice rang out in front of him:
"We meet again, kid from Amegakure."
Danzo appeared so suddenly...
Before he could finish speaking, an extremely terrifying chakra storm suddenly erupted from Danzo's body!
The wind-style chakra swept in all directions like a raging torrent, and the huge shockwave stirred up a violent hurricane, instantly sweeping up the soil and rubble on the ground, plunging the scene into chaos and explosions.
At the same time, the previously quiet atmosphere at the entrance of Kirigakure was suddenly torn apart, and the Mizukage Yagura and the Genji quickly entered a fierce standoff.
Yagura stared at Genshi, his tone utterly cold: "Genshi-sama, you have indeed betrayed Kirigakure, daring to secretly collude with Akatsuki..."
Upon hearing this, Yuan Shi remained calm, staring sadly at Yagura, his voice filled with sorrow and heaviness: "Lord Mizukage, please wake up! You have been controlled by illusion for far too long. Can't you really realize it?"
Yagura coldly ignored the master's words, his face remaining calm and icy.
The next second, the once quiet Hidden Mist Village erupted into chaos, with both sides clashing fiercely. Chakra techniques and ninjutsu intertwined, and the village instantly transformed into a noisy and chaotic battlefield.
"Itachi, Juzo, prepare to support the Grand Master!"
Uchiha Itachi and Biwa Juzo quickly rushed forward, about to enter the battlefield to support the master, but at this moment, a strange spatial distortion vortex suddenly unfolded in front of the two of them.
The next instant, Obito's eerie and sinister figure slowly emerged from the spatial distortion.
Obito stared coldly at Itachi: "Itachi... can you still stop me now?"
Itachi's face was pale. He didn't answer Obito's question, but instead quickly formed a hand seal, and countless black crows surged forth from his body like a tide...
The dense array of illusions spread rapidly in all directions, completely enveloping the scene in a strange and chilling illusion.
On the other side, while Pain and Danzo were locked in a standoff, the other five members of the Six Paths of Pain also arrived at the battlefield.
Seeing that all six Paths of Pain had arrived, Danzo let out a soft snort...
In an instant, countless dead trees rose from the ground...
