Chapter 273
And it's in color.
After all, a color photo of Hashirama Senju and Hiruzen Sarutobi, the master and disciple, is still hanging in the Hokage Building.
However, they were using "film" that had been phased out in the previous life.
After filming, the film needs to be specially processed.
"Yes." Suiren nodded repeatedly, noted down what the Akito needed, and then left.
"Yin, I need to rest. It's getting late, you should sleep too. We can talk about it tomorrow."
Bang!
The Akito simply locked Orochihime outside the door.
Orochihime: "..."
The following morning.
Suiren brought breakfast early in the morning, along with the things the Akito had asked for.
Akito picked up the camera and gestured a few times.
It immediately became clear why ninjas weren't equipped with this.
Current cameras have very low resolution, resulting in blurry images.
It is completely unsuitable for use as a spy.
However, it's still okay to take some ordinary photos.
So, the Akito snapped a few photos, checked the film, and after confirming there were no problems, summoned Orochihime.
"Sound, let's take some photos in Kirigakure."
The Akito extended an invitation.
Although I don't know what the Akito dynasty people were really up to.
But Orochihime accepted it nonetheless.
So the two strolled through the streets, taking numerous photos together as souvenirs.
The day ended quite leisurely.
The Kirigakure Anbu had been monitoring him for a day, but they hadn't found anything unusual about Akito.
It's simply browsing, watching, playing... and taking photos.
That night.
A wind started blowing outside.
The cold wind howled and wailed, foreshadowing that something was about to happen.
"How leisurely."
Itachi stood in the shadows, watching Akito return to the house.
Through the identification by the White Zetsu Clone, Itachi learned that Orochimaru was hiding next to Amakawa Akito.
The person who killed my father has appeared here.
Itachi's feelings were conflicted.
He decided not to provoke Amakawa Akito until he was absolutely certain of victory.
After all... my younger brother's safety is the most important thing.
"Itachi, when do you plan to make your move?" Black Zetsu appeared, this time bringing with him White Zetsu's true form.
White Zetsu: "Aren't we going to regroup with Orochimaru?"
"No. Orochimaru has his own plans..."
Itachi understood after a moment's thought.
Orochimaru has his sights set on Amakawa Akito.
He didn't care about this mission at all.
Since that's the case, then I'll carry out this assassination myself.
"Things aren't that simple..." Black Zetsu shook his head.
"What's the meaning?"
Itachi was unaware of the complex relationships within Kirigakure and the power struggle between Nagato and Obito.
"You'll understand soon... Just wait patiently."
After Black Zetsu finished speaking, he fell silent.
Soon...
Dozens of figures leaped up in the darkness.
Itachi: "They are..."
"It's Zabuza Momochi... He's been dissatisfied with the Bloody Mist for a long time. After plotting all this time, he finally chose to make his move..."
Black Zetsu cast a glance over.
And it's quite obvious that Zabuza Momochi and his companions went to the Mizukage Building!!!
"So..."
When Itachi planned to take advantage of the chaos...
Suddenly, several more figures appeared on the scene.
Itachi: "?"
"They are the 'Kirigakure native faction' represented by Mei Terumi..."
Black Zetsu immediately explained.
According to the official novel, <Kakashi's Secret Story>, there are three types of people in Kirigakure.
Upper class... natives of Kirigakure Village, nobles.
Middle class... allies, powerful families, and partners of the native nobles.
The lower classes... families and individuals that were swallowed up. Snow Clan, like Zabuza Momochi! Juzo Biwa!
"The Kirigakure divides its ranks according to 'class,' regardless of ability..."
No matter how strong a lower-class person is.
He's at most a thug.
It can be replaced at any time.
That is why Juzo Biwa chose to defect.
Even if he became Seven Ninja Blade Wielders, he would still only be a low-ranking person!
Zabuza Momochi, who was also of low social standing, chose a completely different path from his predecessor.
That is... assassinating the Mizukage!
"So... the indigenous faction is planning to be the mantis stalking the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind?"
Itachi immediately understood.
Zabuza is just the mantis, Mei Terumi's faction is the oriole! They plan to Zabuza!
At worst, he would wait Zabuza and the Mizukage were both severely injured before going out to deal with the Mizukage.
Immediately.
Itachi looked towards the foreign guests' residence.
"So, how will Amakawa Akito act?"
200. A Coup in the Bloody Mist of Photography
As the rebellion broke out.
Ninjutsu, Explosive Tag... a series of explosions rang out one after another.
At midnight, Akito opened his eyes. "Has it begun?"
Interestingly...
The rebellion was sparked by an internal war within Kirigakure, yet not a single person paid any attention to him, the guest...
No, there are still some.
Knock knock knock!
A tense knocking sounded on the door.
The Akito got up and opened the door.
Orochihime stood at the door, looking nervous. "Lord Akito... for some reason, a battle has broken out at the Mizukage Building..."
Where are the Suiren?
Akito came to the courtyard and looked in the direction of the Mizukage Building.
Then he exclaimed, "Wow!"
Zabuza Momochi set a fire.
The Mizukage Building is now engulfed in flames.
He outwardly claimed to have seized power, but in reality, he was fed up with the "Bloody Mist."
Zabuza wanted to completely overthrow the regime, take power for himself, and create a peaceful ninja village.
As for his constant use of phrases like "I am the boss" and "I will conquer this country," it's just a typical arrogant persona.
"Lord Akito."
Speaking of Suiren, Suiren arrive.
She rushed over, looking completely bewildered.
"Um... please move to a safe location first..."
The Suiren had no idea what was happening.
However, according to the emergency plan, in the event of such an incident, foreign guests must be moved to a safe place first.
That is, dwellings on the edge of the village.
Beneath the finger marks of a Suiren with a tense expression.
The group began to walk outside.
As soon as I stepped outside, I encountered a group of ninjas.
They ran through the streets, heading straight for the Mizukage Building.
Some people glanced at the Akito and then turned away, as if they had been instructed beforehand, and thus hurriedly left.
Soon.
A terrifying roar echoed from the Mizukage Building.
A massive, red beam of light shot straight into the sky with a whoosh.
Even the clouds were churned up.
"Oh no! The Fourth Hokage Partial Tailed Beast Transformation!!"
The ninjas from Kirigakure gasped in surprise.
Their initial rush forward slowed down.
Then.
