After Naruto got Declaration of War, two Gold Dust Cloud flowers flew out of Kusagakure.
One side is the Naruto body with Uchiha Hikari, and the other side is the Naruto with Land of Rivers, Wood Clone and Hashirama.
Land of Rivers, this Small Country sandwiched between Land of Fire, Land of Wind and Land of Rain, has a complex geographical environment and a rather special political ecology.
It does not have its own independent ninja village armed force, and national security and mission entrustment usually rely on hiring ninjas from surrounding powers.
Mainly Sunagakure, Rain Ninja, and Ninja of Konoha.
This makes the composition of forces within Land of Rivers complex and frequent intelligence circulation, but it also means that its defense forces are relatively loose and lack a unified core will to resist.
Many people don't understand that today's Amegakure is not one of Griddle, but split into two distinct factions:
One faction is "Smoke Faction", which is composed of the old followers of Hanzo of the Salamander.
They are good at using smoke, poison gas and Poison Mist tactics combined with Water Release and Wind Release.
Because they have been around poison all year round, they all wear ventilators and are highly resistant to conventional toxins, and can even fight freely in the Poison Mist environment.
The Ninjutsu system of Smoke Faction is more suitable for positional defense, poisoning and attrition warfare under a "demigod" leader like Hanzo of the Salamander.
The other faction is "Rain Faction", which swears allegiance to Pain, who is now the actual controller of Amegakure.
Their Ninjutsu is mostly related to rain.
The iconic look is to carry an umbrella or a hat.
In a rainy environment, their combat effectiveness will be significantly improved, because the heavy rain can not only cover up their actions and signs of Ninjutsu's launch, but it can also become a carrier or amplification medium for the attack.
During Chunin Ninja Exams, Naruto had contact with the contestants of Amegakure.
He remembered that one of the two Rain Ninja teams he met when taking the exam had the word "rain" in their name and carried an umbrella.
And their names are also very interesting, they are called Shigure, Meiyu, Shūu, Ninjutsu is indeed closely related to rain control.
After the death of Hanzo of the Salamander, the remnants of "Smoke Faction" who lost their leader and base were purged and expelled by "Rain Faction" in Amegakure Crowded, a large number of them fled to the nearby Land of Rivers with mixed forces, or became Rogue Ninja, or were employed by Land of Rivers's local forces or even foreign countries.
However, these fleeing "Smoke Faction" Ninja did not give up completely.
They maintain contact with the few "Smoke Faction" associates who are still lurking inside Amegakure, and often sneak back into Land of Rain outside Amegakure or use Land of Rivers as a springboard to engage in small-scale infiltration, harassment and guerrilla combat with "Rain Faction" in an attempt to regain their homeland or retaliate.
This makes the border areas between Land of Rain and Land of Rivers often shrouded in the shadow of assassinations, Poison Mist and small-scale conflicts.
Pain, who controls Amegakure, relies on Rain Tiger at Will Technique to closely monitor a large area centered on Amegakure.
This technique not only enables Sensing to rainwater to contact all Chakra and life forms within the range, achieving nearly blind-angle surveillance, it can also enhance the Sensing and Chakra transmission capabilities of "Rain Faction" Ninja in the rain to a certain extent.
In the original work, when Jiraiya infiltrated Amegakure to investigate Pain's intelligence, he did not enter on a Sunday.
But coincidentally, Obito Uchiha happened to enter Amegakure to meet Pain at that time.
In order to explore the details of the mysterious "Madara Uchiha" more deeply, Nagato deliberately used Rain Tiger at Will Technique.
This high-intensity Sensing not only helped Nagato initially analyze the duration of Obito's "Kamui" virtualization ability, but also accidentally captured the traces of Jiraiya who had sneaked in at the same time, ultimately leading to the exposure of Jiraiya.
The existence of Pain is also the reason why Naruto is unwilling to pass by Land of Rain.
Mangekyō Sharingan of Naruto is still developing in Laboratory, and Rinnegan of Urashiki is also being examined in the hands of Orochimaru.
Naruto is a more cautious person. He doesn't want to find out after pressing the Rinnegan of Urashiki that he has an extra wedge of Urashiki in his hand.
Nagato is reserved for Naruto for future practice.
If we were to start a war with Akatsuki, it might give the other major powers more time to prepare, so that the blitzkrieg would not be "lightning".
The night is deep, Land of Earth Border and Forest appear shadowy in the moonlight, and the outline of the mountains is like a dormant giant beast.
The air is dry, with a unique smell of Rock and earth, which is completely different from the humidity of Land of Grass.
On the thick branches of a tall ancient tree, a figure stood quietly as if blending into the shadows.
He wore an inconspicuous black robe and a strange tiger-skin pattern mask on his face, revealing only one deep and calm right eye.
It was Obito Uchiha who left Kamui Dimension and came to test the reality of Nine-Tails Jinchuriki.
He stood quietly on the branch, looking like a hawk in the direction of Land of Grass, as if he could penetrate the layers of night and mountains and see the incoming "guest".
"Are they... right ahead?"
Obito's voice came out through the mask, seeming a bit low and hollow.
Almost at the same time as his voice fell, a wave of imperceptible fluctuations appeared on the surface of the tree trunk under his feet. A white humanoid silhouette slowly poked its head out as if it "grew" from the tree. It was the clone of White Zetsu.
What it is using at the moment is its unique sneak Ninjutsu Mayfly Technique.
The unique submersible type Ninjutsu mastered by Mayfly Technique and White Zetsu is essentially an extremely special application branch in the Wood Release system.
The principle of this technique is to integrate the user's body with the veins of the earth and vegetation with high precision. It is not simply hiding, but truly becoming a part of the natural organic network.
The caster can use the channels formed by plant roots, flowing underground veins, and other organic materials throughout the ground to achieve high-speed, silent, and almost traceless movement.
During this process, the user's aura will be completely cut off from Chakra fluctuations, and blend with the surrounding environment, making it extremely difficult to detect its existence with conventional Sensing methods.
However, if the other party is also proficient in Wood Release, or has extraordinary Sensing power over Natural Energy and plant life veins, it is not completely impossible to capture Mayfly Technique.
But for the vast majority of Ninja, White Zetsu's infiltration is almost perfect.
At this moment, this White Zetsu Clone has obviously just used Mayfly Technique to conduct high-speed reconnaissance in the front.
"Yes, Nine-Tails Jinchuriki and the others are moving very fast. It won't take long before they will officially enter the border of Land of Earth.
Judging from their route and speed, there are still ten minutes at most."
Obito nodded slightly and agreed with the time estimate.
But he keenly captured a word in White Zetsu's words:
"Them?"
A trace of doubt flashed in Obito's one eye. White Zetsu never said before that there was more than just Naruto.
"Besides Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, is there anyone else?"
"Well, there is another woman."
The clone of White Zetsu nodded and shook his head on the tree trunk, seeming to be still recalling the scene he just saw.
"When I first saw her... I thought she was Lord Madara Uchiha's daughter."
"Uchiha?"
Obito's tone suddenly rose, with obvious surprise.
This news was beyond his expectation.
According to the information he knew, Uchiha Clan was theoretically extinct after the night of genocide.
Sasuke is the only Survivor on the night of genocide, and Uchiha Itachi and himself are the executors of the night of genocide.
Now, there is another woman who can be mistaken for "Madara's daughter" by White Zetsu at first sight?
"How can that old bachelor Madara have a daughter?"
Obito whispered to himself subconsciously, with a sense of absurdity in his tone.
The Madara Uchiha he recognized was a paranoid avenger, the creator of Eye of the Moon Plan, an undead dormant underground waiting for an opportunity, or an old bachelor who had never been married.
How come you have a daughter?
White Zetsu blinked and pretended not to hear.
