"Kirigakure!?"
Uzumaki Naruto raised an eyebrow slightly. "Terumi Mei!?"
Given the recent unrest in Kirigakure, Uzumaki Naruto could only think of the Fourth Mizukage and Terumi Mei.
Uchiha Shisui froze for a moment, his expression becoming even more respectful. "Yes, it's Terumi Mei. She's been secretly recruiting Kirigakure ninja. The Fourth Mizukage seems to have noticed something and has begun conducting large-scale searches of ninja throughout Kirigakure."
"Although we don't have many ninja, five years was enough to leave behind some traces, and someone accidentally discovered our trail. Over the last two days, the Fourth Mizukage has even ignored the Kirigakure ninja who were recruited, desperately searching for our whereabouts instead." Uchiha Shisui was utterly baffled as he said this.
What the hell was wrong with the Fourth Mizukage? His own home was being stolen from under his nose, yet he was desperately searching for traces of the Uchiha Clan!? Could the Uchiha Clan really be more important to the Fourth Mizukage?
Uzumaki Naruto merely sneered, Uchiha Obito's image surfacing in his mind once more.
"Looks like these past five years haven't been very comfortable for you..."
Coming back to his senses, Uzumaki Naruto spoke calmly. "I understand. Tomorrow, I'll make a trip to Kirigakure."
"Yes!"
Uchiha Shisui agreed instinctively, then his eyes abruptly widened. "Lord Naruto, do you mean we're taking action!?"
The corner of Uzumaki Naruto's lips curved into a subtle smile as he nodded. "Mm. Five years is enough."
"The Uchiha Clan..."
"Still haven't found their base!?"
Standing on the palm of the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path, Uchiha Obito looked at Zetsu with an ugly expression.
Five years!!!
Did you know how he had spent these five years???
He had lived every day on edge, Namikaze Menma's face constantly appearing in his mind. Even
