The east side of the continent.
Above the sea, on the main island of Land of Water, in the core area, First Mizukage led many descendant families to jointly build Kirigakure on this land. As the best-located country and ninja village in Five Great Nations, in the past few decades, even if Kirigakure has been defeated repeatedly, almost no one can threaten the core area of Kirigakure. Even the homeland of Land of Water, the other ninjas of Four Great Nations have rarely visited.
Unlike Konoha, who was often beaten, and Sunagakure, who was too weak and was repeatedly invaded into the mainland by Konoha and Iwagakure, Kirigakure truly has a unique geographical advantage. Especially when Uzushio Village, Konoha's largest, staunchest and most powerful ally, was destroyed, there was really no country or village on the sea that could threaten Land of Water's homeland and Kirigakure.
Even in the past wars, Land of Water and Kirigakure could use the original Whirlpool Country territory they occupied as a springboard to launch attacks on the mainland. This is also the biggest reason why in Third Shinobi World War, Konoha can defeat Kiri Ninja, but it is difficult to surround and defeat the main force of Kirigakure.
The other side is too slippery!
In the end, Fourth Mizukage Karatachi Yagura decided to admit defeat. It was because he saw Sunagakure defeated and Kumogakure and Iwagakure were fighting so happily. It was difficult for a ninja village to continue challenging Konoha alone before making such a decision. Otherwise, the fight would have to drag on. Although Konoha would indeed win in the end, the price he had to pay would definitely be more tragic.
I have to say that Fourth Mizukage's timing was pretty good.
Thanks to Sarutobi Hiruzen's incredible operation, Kirigakure can easily withdraw from the war without paying any extra cost. This allows Kirigakure to retain a considerable amount of vitality and strength. It can sit back and watch the mainland situation and be ready to intervene at any time.
This is the natural advantage determined by the geographical location of Land of Water and Kirigakure.
This Fourth Mizukage also ambitiously planned to reorganize the village and save some strength to prepare for a new war in a few years. Konoha broke out Nine-Tailed Demon Fox's Attack more than a year ago After the news of and Fourth Hokage's death in battle came, Karatachi Yagura was already filled with excitement and planned to watch what happened in the Genin world and send troops immediately if there was an opportunity.
Unfortunately, without waiting for the corresponding opportunity, he fell into the control of Uchiha Obito who came to Kirigakure deliberately. This was not a necessary part of Eye of the Moon Plan, it was just Obito's personal revenge.
After detonating Nine-Tailed Demon Fox's Attack and returning to the secret base set up earlier by Madara to recover from his injuries, Obito sneaked into Land of Water and used his Mangekyō Sharingan, as well as some Tailed Beast restraint methods left by Madara, defeated and controlled Fourth Mizukage - Karatachi Yagura in the most powerful way!
And it can be perfectly prevented from being discovered by any of Fourth Mizukage's guards. The only one who needs to be wary is the Kiri Ninja named 'Qing' who owns Byakugan. But under normal circumstances, who would use Byakugan to detect their own shadow?
In the first few months after taking control of Fourth Mizukage, Obito was very careful in sorting out the situation in Kirigakure. If he wanted to take revenge, he would have to be as exaggerated as possible, as long as he grasped the essence of it.
And just when Obito was making the most basic preparations and planning to officially start a bloody storm in Kirigakure, the news spread that Uchiha Clan defected, or officially announced his departure from Konohagakure, and had a battle with Konoha before leaving.
Including Uchiha Fugaku and Uchiha Shōji's Mangekyō Sharingan, as well as the huge Susanoo, and the terrifying super 'Lightning Release Forbidden Technique' that burst out from Shōji all have corresponding levels of intelligence.
It can be said that the moment I learned the news.
Uchiha Obito couldn't help but be slightly stunned.
"Can you confirm the authenticity of this information!?"
In the exclusive offices of Kirigakure and Mizukage, there are no outsiders at the moment, except for Fourth Mizukage Karatachi Yagura, who has completely turned into a puppet and is sitting on the main seat with a dull look on his face.
Uchiha Obito also wore his own orange mask with only one pupil exposed and stood on the other side. Looking at White Zetsu who jumped out from the floor in front of him, he asked with a tone of surprise.
"Hehehehe! This is absolutely true news! Obito, I didn't expect that apart from you, there are two other people in your clan who can open Mangekyō Sharingan, especially the young man named Uchiha Shōji, who seems to be only 15 years old!"
White Zetsu shook his head and said with a smile.
"Hmph! Uchiha Shōji? I originally thought that among the Uchiha generation, there was only one Shisui Uchiha worth noting, but now there is actually such a Mangekyo is coming? Although Uchiha Fugaku owns Mangekyo, it's not something special. But the family chose to break away from Konoha. Hehe, it's really a big move!"
On the mask, the single hole showed Three-Tomoe, which was pitch black and scarlet, Sharingan, Obito said coldly.
"So? Obito, what are you going to do?"
White Zetsu tilted his head and continued to ask with a smile.
"Let's put it aside for a moment. What needs to be dealt with first now is the matter here at Kirigakure. The most important situation is still unclear. The two pairs of Mangekyo are important, but we still need to take a look at them. In the next moment, spend more time collecting some information, especially Uchiha Shōji! I want to see all his information in the shortest possible time!"
"Also, have you confirmed the whereabouts of the guy I asked you to pay attention to before? If confirmed, come back and tell me as soon as possible!"
Obito still said coldly with a dismissive look, there is certainly something in this because Kirigakure has almost done all the preparations here, revenge Kirigakure can be said to be Obito 'The only remaining part of humanity', even the worst and worst aspect, is why he will not break it off easily. Another reason is naturally his confidence in his own strength. Mangekyo and Mangekyo are also fundamentally different!
My current body is even more integrated with Wood Release cells.
Mangekyo and Dōjutsu Power can achieve unlimited battery life!
No matter how strong the two pairs of Mangekyo are, Uchiha Shōji and Uchiha Fugaku, as long as they cannot upgrade to Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan, I have many ways to consume their Dōjutsu Power and make them blind and weak, so there is no need to worry at all.
This is the confidence of Uchiha Obito.
"Also, Zetsu, call me Madara!"
It's his narcissism.
Obito's pupils bloomed with a ray of scarlet color, and he said to White Zetsu in an extremely cold tone.
