While the entire Konoha High Command was speculating because the four big family patriarchs were gathering for dinner, Madara Uchiha and Kai completed their meeting, and the two of them walked towards Land of Lightning together.
Not long after their trip, Six Shadows also came from the secret passage of Root to outside Konoha and started tracking the two people.
Unlike Konoha, which has fertile land and dense forests, the mountains in Land of Lightning are soaring. When there is thunder, the thunder echoes between the mountains. Therefore, they named the country Land of Lightning.
After entering the Land of Lightning border, Madara and Kai inevitably had to cross mountains and rivers. During this period, in order to prevent their whereabouts from being discovered, they had to choose some uninhabited areas to walk. Just from the perspective of the journey, this mission was already very difficult.
Traveling to Capital in Land of Lightning, like other countries, there is also Barrier guarding it. How to enter Capital is still their first problem.
"Something's not right. I've been to Land of Lightning Capital before. They don't have such strict security. Could it be that your previous assassinations made Land of Lightning's Nobles wary?"
Compared to the unsuspecting Land of Wind, Land of Earth and Land of Water, Land of Lightning's Capital gate was actually already being guarded by Ninja.
Everyone who enters through the Land of Lightning gate needs to be contacted by the Ninja guarded by Land of Lightning before they can enter. It is not difficult to guess that the two gatekeepers Ninja should be of the perception system.
If Madara uses the Genjutsu or Transformation Technique method to enter, he will definitely be noticed.
"It's not that Nobles is wary of us, it's that our whereabouts during this trip have been exposed."
Even the most powerful Kumogakure and their Ninja must have a limited number.
Sending Ninja as a gate guard is a waste of resources for any country, let alone Ninja who appears this time is of the perception system.
The reason why Land of Lightning and Tanaka Qinghai made such an arrangement must be because they obtained information on their and Kai's whereabouts, which was even accurate to the sky level.
"What do you mean? Our mission was directly assigned by Third Hokage. Third Hokage will not harm us!"
After hearing what Madara Uchiha said, Kai also understood the deep meaning behind Madara's words.
"It's another person, Shimura Danzō of Root. If I guess correctly, there should be a group of Root people behind us. Judging from Land of Lightning's reaction, the goal of this group of people is most likely to kill me."
"It's really a severe test!"
The person ahead Madara Uchiha and Kai who want to assassinate have already obtained the information that they are going to be assassinated. Madara and Kai are not sure how many Kumogakure and Ninja Tanaka Qinghai can mobilize, but the number will never be small.
From the rear, Konoha and pursuers were attacking. Madara and Kai were completely flanked from both sides.
Despite this, there was no fear or flinching in Kai's eyes. What Madara saw in Kai's eyes was only a fiery fighting spirit, so Madara didn't bother to talk nonsense about you being able to retreat first.
If Madara's companions really retreat without authorization at this time, Madara himself will kill his own companions first.
Uchiha Clan people cannot tolerate betrayal.
"Let's complete the mission together first."
The tracking of Root is just a trivial matter to Madara. From the moment Kai is by his side, Madara no longer feels that anyone can threaten him. The most important thing right now is to kill Tanaka Qinghai.
Although Third Hokage said it didn't matter if the mission failed, but to Madara Uchiha, there was no one in this world that he couldn't kill.
A Kunai branded with Madara Uchiha Sealing Formula was quietly stuffed into the package of a merchant team by Madara Uchiha.
After the merchant team entered Land of Lightning Capital, Madara Uchiha maximized his perception ability.
After dark, after confirming that no one was around Sealing Formula, Madara Uchiha took Kai and used Flying Thunder God Technique.
This merchant team is a merchant from Land of Lightning's own country. They have a warehouse in Land of Lightning Capital, so all their goods are placed in the warehouse. Madara and Kai quietly sneaked into Capital of Land of Lightning.
"Flying Thunder God Technique!?"
Even Kai was extremely shocked when he found out that Madara Uchiha actually learned Flying Thunder God Technique.
No wonder this guy Kakashi recognized Madara's strength. Has this guy even mastered such a difficult Ninjutsu?
"Let's go."
Without much explanation, Madara Uchiha directly pulled Kai and sneaked in Land of Lightning Capital.
Just from the simplicity of Madara's invasion of Land of Lightning Capital, we can understand why Third Shinobi World War was ended by Minato Namikaze on his own.
When Minato Namikaze showed Flying Thunder God Technique and proved that he was not an object that could be successfully killed, Minato became the Sword of Damocles hanging over the heads of Land of Fire, Nations, Nobles and Daimyo.
If Konoha is defeated by Third Shinobi World War, Minato's relatives and the village he wants to protect will be slaughtered. An unscrupulous Minato will undoubtedly become Shinobi World's biggest nightmare.
By then, it will not be those Ninjas whom they regard as tools who will die, but even Daimyos of Great Nations may be assassinated.
After all, even if these Daimyo raised the security around them to the highest level, they still had no confidence that they could prevent Flying Thunder God Technique. This was the real reason why they stopped fighting.
"I also discovered an interesting thing when I was just trying my best to sense it."
While Land of Lightning Capital was looking for a safe place to stay and camouflage clothes, Madara Uchiha told Kai what he had just discovered.
"There should be six people who intercepted us from behind. After we disappeared, they started searching outside Capital. What's even more interesting is that now they went directly into the city."
After hearing Madara Uchiha's words, Kai's always excited smile froze.
It is now dark, and the gate to Capital is bound to be closed. It is hundreds of times more difficult to enter the city at this time than during the day.
There were six Konoha pursuers. The only explanation why they could enter the city so easily is that the Root people and the Kumogakure people reached an agreement on the matter of targeting Madara Uchiha. In this way, the nature of these Konoha pursuers changed.
Root's pursuit of Madara is an internal factional struggle, and Kai will naturally not be involved in it.
Before these people entered the city, Kai would at most help Madara defeat these people, but if these people collaborated with the enemy to deal with Madara, who was also Konoha, then these people would have violated Kai's bottom line and become people who could be killed.
Before Madara Uchiha showed himself Flying Thunder God Technique, Kai might have felt that Kumogakure and Root were making a fuss out of a molehill, but at this time Kai also understood Madara's strategic significance. This person would definitely be the future pillar of Konoha, and he could not let him die at the hands of people in his own village.
