In the dark night sky, a crescent moon hangs above it, and the faint cold moonlight falls on the Land of Rice Fields land.
Under the pale moonlight, several tent camps stood in the woods not far from the Land of Rice Fields Daimyo Palace. A group of pale yellow bonfires looked extremely conspicuous in the night.
Next to the bonfire, the female ninja with long reddish-brown curly hair and a blue tube top dress looked particularly dazzling.
Counting today, Terumi Mei has been away from Kirigakure for six years. She led the team on this trip to hunt down five defecting ninjas. Although four have been found, there is still one defecting ninja that has not been found.
Now, Kirigakure has been implementing the policy of erasing those who own Kekkei Genkai. As we all know, Bai is one of the victims. This policy not only harmed many The owners of Kekkei Genkai have led to the defection of more people who are dissatisfied with the policies and even disappointed with the country, such as Zabuza Momochi. Such a chaotic situation has also affected many innocent people, and it can be a very terrifying and bloody period.
A piece of firewood was randomly put in, making the bonfire much brighter again. A white-haired team member said lazily, "Terumi Mei Captain, do we still want to continue the pursuit?"
"The traitor should be nearby. We'll look for it carefully. If we can't find it, we'll return to the village!"
Terumi Mei thought for a while, then moved her pink lips and made a pleasant sound.
"I can't find the best. I really don't want to fight against my former companions!"
This is not Kirigakure. The white-haired team member said directly without any scruples.
"There have been too many defected ninjas recently. I wonder when we Kirigakure will get better!"
After sighing, another team member suddenly sighed.
Terumi Mei is thoughtful, she naturally knows that there are big problems with Kirigakure's current policy, especially it was irrational to start a war with Hidden Village who has Uchiha Clan some time ago, but with her current position in Kirigakure, she can't change anything at all.
"If I become Mizukage, I must promote the policy of peace and openness to revive Kirigakure."
With this thought flashing through his mind, Terumi Mei stood up and walked slowly towards his tent.
When the second morning came, Land of Rice Fields the Daimyo Palace was different from the silence in the past. It quickly became lively, and rows of guards were on standby.
While it was busy outside, a door was pushed open, and Uchiha Itachi, Sasuke Uchiha walked out slowly. After a night's rest, they were about to face a fierce battle today.
"Well, there's no use having more people!"
When Sasuke arrived at the main hall, he looked at the guards crowded everywhere. He was a little stunned for a while. After a while, he sighed.
In front of ninjas who are proficient in Taijutsu, ninjutsu, ordinary soldiers can only give away their lives!
"Haha, you guys came quite early, thank you for your hard work!"
Just when Sasuke was sighing, a voice suddenly sounded from behind. Sasuke turned around and saw a large group of people approaching quickly. The leader was named Hojo, and beside him, Sasuke also saw the attendant Terashima who led the way yesterday.
You came quite early? Not to protect you, a pig! Listening to Hojo's words, Sasuke was a little annoyed.
"Protecting the safety of the daimyo is our duty!"
Uchiha Itachi saw Hojo and replied lightly.
"Although I can't get involved in your battle, I have summoned all the guards at Land of Rice Fields, and they can all be at your command!" Hojo said with a smile.
"Thank you!"
Even though he knew that these guards were useless, Uchiha Itachi still thanked him politely.
However, after Uchiha Itachi finished speaking, a figure suddenly hurriedly opened the door and said urgently, "Orochimaru came in from the front hall door!"
"Come so early?"
Hearing this, many officials were immediately in an uproar. Hojo was also shocked by the news, and then asked with some fear, "How many people did he bring?"
"Five people in total!"
The guard heard the question and immediately answered.
"Sasuke, let's go!"
With a frown, Uchiha Itachi walked out of the main hall first and walked quickly towards the front hall, followed by a large number of people.
The group of people quickly passed through, and then came to the front hall. At the gate, they saw Orochimaru, who had long black hair, golden snake eyes, and blue Tomoe-shaped earrings, giving off a sinister feeling, standing with a smile. At his feet, there were more than a dozen dying guards lying.
"Uchiha Itachi, haha, long time no see."
Seeing Uchiha Itachi walking out with a gloomy expression, Orochimaru slowly raised his head and said with a sinister smile.
In the past, there were many intersections between Konoha, Uchiha Itachi and Orochimaru. Itachi even committed suicide by jumping off a cliff because of Orochimaru's words "life is meaningless".
"Orochimaru, I was entrusted by the daimyo to protect Land of Rice Fields. I didn't expect to meet you here!"
Staring at Orochimaru with complicated eyes, Uchiha Itachi said in a deep voice.
"Land of Rice Fields doesn't have a Ninja Village. I'm just here to help Land of Rice Fields increase its strength!"
Orochimaru waved his hand and explained in a friendly manner.
"Orochimaru, I don't want you to build a Ninja Village in Land of Rice Fields. Don't think so!"
Looking at the guards who had been maimed by Orochimaru, Hojo hid behind Uchiha Itachi to express his attitude.
"Hmph, even if you have Uchiha Itachi's protection, you can't stop my plan!"
With a cold snort, Orochimaru and his four men quickly ran towards the west.
Orochimaru Why did you run away when you saw your brother?
Sasuke was also secretly surprised by Orochimaru's abnormal behavior. With Orochimaru's desire for Sharingan, he should have stretched out a long snake head to bite him now!
"Sasuke, you stay here to protect the daimyo, I will go after Orochimaru now!"
Uchiha Itachi left a word and quickly chased after him.
"Brother's heart!"
I had a premonition that Uchiha Itachi might be in trouble if he caught up, but seeing that Uchiha Itachi had already gotten up and left, Sasuke could only shout a loud reminder from behind.
"When you get to the designated location, you can quickly set up a large formation! As long as Uchiha Itachi is held for a certain period of time, my plan will be successful!"
Orochimaru, who was running very fast at this moment, glanced at Uchiha Itachi, who was catching up, and said coldly.
"Lord Orochimaru, don't worry!"
The four subordinates nodded and said in unison. Orochimaru They have seen the punishment methods before. This time they will definitely go all out and not dare to make any mistakes.
"Hey, I will get Sharingan soon!"
Orochimaru stuck out his tongue and licked his mouth, muttering to himself excitedly.
