I came to kill you on God's orders
In just one or two days, the news that the Cloud Village had produced its First Tsuchikage spread throughout the entire Shinobi World.
Konoha Village.
Tsunade stared intently at the intelligence report before her.
"Ōnoki's ambition is so great that he even overthrew the Feudal Lord of the Land of Lightning, achieving true self-sufficiency."
"The next one to be overthrown will most likely be the Daimyo of the Land of Earth from his own village, Iwagakure."
If we had gone to Cloud Village back then, Cloud Village might be like this now...
Thinking of this, Tsunade shook her head.
She never intended to invade in the first place, and now she shouldn't let her emotions get the better of Iwagakure.
Moreover, the two most useful Tailed Beast of Cloud Village are already under the control of Konoha Village. Cloud Village, being an empty shell, may be useful, but it is not particularly effective.
With the Two-Tails following Kanami, Tsunade could say that they were in Konoha.
She still trusted both Kanami and Hinata.
With sufficient combat power, even though the ninja village occupies a small area, other ninja villages dare not underestimate it.
After all, in a real war, the main factor determining victory or defeat is overall combat strength, not the area of territory occupied.
Therefore, Tsunade is not worried that Ōnoki will think of attacking Konoha Village.
Unless the other side has truly lost their minds because they've occupied the empty Cloud Village.
It's obvious that Ōnoki, who is already in his sixties or seventies, wouldn't be such a fool.
On the other side, at Kanami's residence.
Hinata, having learned from Cloud Village what had happened in Hyuga Hiashi, recounted the Hinata to Kanami's true form.
"Sigh, that Ōnoki kid really got off easy."
Hinata:??
"The Third Tsuchikage, Ōnoki, must be almost seventy years old by now..."
Realizing what had happened, Kanami scratched his head. "Slip of the tongue."
It wasn't a slip of the tongue, but rather a habitual way of addressing him from his past life. Mainly, it was because Madara Uchiha had once called that kid Ōnoki, which left a deep impression on him.
"I should have forced Kakashi-sensei to go to Cloud Village to become the Fifth Raikage."
"Well, that's great, now we have the First Tsuchikage."
Kanami complained.
"You really want Kakashi-sensei to become the Fifth Raikage?" Hinata blinked.
When she confronted the Yugito Nii earlier, she thought Kanami was just joking, but she didn't expect him to actually have such thoughts.
"I genuinely think Kakashi is a good fit. It's a huge loss that Iwagakure got the better deal."
"Alright, let's get ready to eat in a bit."
Hinata smiled as she looked at Kanami, whose face showed some resentment.
"By the way, Kanami, how's your clone doing?"
"They should be almost at Amegakure, or they should have already arrived. I lost contact with them last night, so they should have left the Land of Fire's borders."
"Hope everything goes well..."
"Alright, don't you know my strength?"
Kanami gently patted Hinata's head.
Amegakure.
As a hand reached out from the horizon, Jiraiya, a man with long white hair, slowly stood on the sea surface.
"I didn't expect the infiltration to be so easy this time."
Jiraiya felt the rain soaking his body and murmured, "Amegakure is still the same as before, it rains all year round."
Meanwhile, in a Secret Base somewhere in Amegakure.
Pain's Deva Path suddenly opened his eyes. "Konan, someone we know has arrived."
"An acquaintance?" Konan looked at Pain's Deva Path.
"The Rain Tiger at Will Technique has been detected; it's Jiraiya- sensei."
"Jiraiya- sensei, how could he..." Konan paused, her expression returning to its coldness, "I almost forgot, he's also Konoha Ninja."
Meanwhile, in another hidden corner of Amegakure.
With aloe vera growing on either side of his head, Black and White Zetsu spoke to the masked man beside him, "Tobi, it seems someone has entered Amegakure."
"Nagato will handle it."
The man wearing an orange Spiral Mask spoke calmly.
Jiraiya's intelligence gathering activities in Amegakure were all observed by Nagato.
He quickly obtained a lot of information through his smooth talk and eloquence, which he had previously used to gather information.
Furthermore, she learned from a woman whose figure was comparable to Tsunade's that the woman had a Genin husband.
So they used the Toad Seeing Technique to Genin the genin inside Toad for interrogation.
They eventually learned from him that Hanzo had been killed by Pain, and that Pain had never persecuted the people of Amegakure. However, no one knew what Pain's true face looked like.
"Untie."
"Bang--"
As the smoke rose, the Toad Seeing Technique dissipated.
"Hanzo was already dead. It seems the leader of this Mysterious Organization, Pain, was quite powerful."
Jiraiya muttered to himself.
Before coming to Amegakure, he had always suspected that Hanzo either had a cooperative relationship with this Mysterious Organization or was unaware of its existence.
Unexpectedly, it was Hanzo, who was hailed as a demigod, who was killed.
Back then, when they fought Hanzo, he, Orochimaru, and Tsunade together, but they were still defeated.
Now they're telling him that the leader of the Mysterious Organization they're investigating can kill Hanzo!
A bad feeling rose in his heart.
"This time it seems even more dangerous than I imagined."
Even so, he would not leave Amegakure until he obtained the information.
"In case..."
Jiraiya muttered to himself.
He opened a scroll, and at the same time, a Toad named Gama Tora crawled out of his body.
Gama Tora is in charge of the Eight Trigrams Seal on Naruto's body.
After sending Gama Tora away using a scroll, Jiraiya Hand Seals.
"Toad Flat Shadow Control Technique"
He used a Toad Ninjutsu to successfully infiltrate the Limbo Shadow of the Genin he had previously interrogated and manipulated the man's actions.
They planned to use this Genin to gather intelligence.
However, before they had gone very far into Amegakure, the Genin controlled by Jiraiya was suddenly wrapped in countless pieces of paper.
Fire Style: Flame Bullet.
Hidden in the Limbo Shadow, Jiraiya unleashed Fire Style that burned the paper that was wrapped around him.
"You've grown into a beautiful young woman, Konan."
Jiraiya smiled as he looked at the woman in front of him, who wore a black robe with red clouds and had a blue bun hairstyle.
"Jiraiya- sensei."
As Konan spoke, her figure gradually floated into the air, and a pair of huge white wings appeared behind her.
"I didn't expect you to still remember me. I thought you were dead. What are you doing in this organization?"
Jiraiya asked with a smile.
Having formed his own judgment, he learned during his previous investigation that there was a woman whom the villagers of Amegakure called "Angel".
The Konan in front of me fits the stereotype of an angel.
"I am here by God's command to kill you."
Konan's tone was cold, and she seemed to have no sentimentality whatsoever.
Swish--
The wings behind him coalesced into Paper Shuriken Jiraiya.
