Land of Lightning, Kumogakure.
At this time, Kumogakure, the atmosphere was oppressive and suffocating.
The news that Allied Forces was defeated and Fourth Raikage was captured was like a heavy hammer hitting this village that worshiped force.
Although Darui, as Acting Raikage, tried his best to maintain order in the village, panic and anger were still growing crazily in the dark.
On the west side of the village, in a heavily guarded mansion.
"Asshole!!"
Kumogakure Elder Raizo slammed the table aside, his chest heaving violently, and his face was full of angry expressions.
"Darui That eggless wimp!!"
"He actually wants to surrender?!"
"He actually wants to give away the foundation built by our Kumogakure generations to Konoha!"
Raizo's roar echoed in the secret room.
Sitting opposite him were seven or eight old men who were also over fifty.
They are all the elders of Kumogakure, and they are also the most stubborn "militant faction".
In their eyes, the glory of Kumogakure is above all else. Even if they die, they will die on the way to charge.
"Elder Raizo is right!"
A one-eyed elder echoed with a gloomy face.
"We, Kumogakure, only have ninjas who died in battle and no cowards who surrendered!"
"Konoha, no matter how strong he is, can he still kill us all?"
"That's right!"
Another elder also echoed.
"Dodai, that old immortal is also an old fool!"
"He actually spoke for Darui, saying that he wanted to preserve the fire of the village..."
"I think he is just afraid of death!"
"You want us to bow down to Konoha? Unless I die!!"
Most of these people have been in high positions for a long time and have long been away from the battlefield.
They have never seen the god-like power of Uchiha Yao with their own eyes, nor have they experienced the despairing sense of oppression.
in their cognition.
The war between ninjas is still a game of numbers and tactics.
Kumogakure also has tens of thousands of ninjas, and has the geographical advantage of being easy to defend and difficult to attack.
Why should we surrender?
"Everyone."
Raizo took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in his heart, and glanced at everyone present.
"Darui has been frightened out of his wits. He is not worthy of leading Hidden Cloud Village."
"We must act."
"Early tomorrow morning, we will launch Coup d'état and seize the command of Darui!"
"Then gather all the troops and fight to the death with Konoha!!"
Hearing the words "Coup d'état", everyone's breathing became rapid.
But there was no fear in the eyes of these old guys, instead they shone with a crazy light.
"Agree!"
"Second!"
"It's long overdue!"
Just when the blood of this group of radicals was boiling, as if they had seen themselves leading Kumogakure to defeat powerful enemies and regain glory.
A voice full of joking suddenly sounded in the corner of the secret room.
"What a touching scene."
"What a pity..."
"Just because you are old, weak, sick and disabled, I'm afraid you will all turn into a pile of corpses in the end."
"Who?"
Raizo turned his head suddenly and shouted loudly.
The Chakra on his body exploded instantly, and blue Lightning Light crackled around him.
Everyone's eyes were instantly fixed on the corner of the secret room.
The space there suddenly became weirdly distorted.
Later.
A man with an orange spiral mask on his face slowly walked out of Uzumaki.
It is Uchiha Obito.
He crossed his arms and stared coldly at the group of old men who were like frightened birds.
"Who are you?"
Raizo's pupils shrank.
How did this guy get in?
This secret room is surrounded by perception barriers. How did he break in silently?
"It doesn't matter who I am."
Obito said nonchalantly.
"The important thing is, I'm here to help you."
"Help us?"
Raizo sneered and winked at the shadow behind him.
"You're a rat who hides his head and shows his tail, is he willing to help us?"
"Get him!!"
Whoosh!!
The words have not yet fallen.
A black shadow instantly emerged from the shadow behind Raizo.
This is Raizo's personal guard, a master whose strength is close to that of Elite Jonin.
This blow is fast, accurate and hard!
There are no unnecessary movements, he is completely focused on killing people.
But.
Facing this fatal blow.
Obito seemed to be frightened and stood motionless.
There wasn't even a move to dodge.
"Die!!"
A trace of cruelty flashed in the guard's eyes.
The Kunai in his hand stabbed Obito's neck hard.
But.
The expected scene of blood splattering did not appear.
The sharp Kunai penetrated Obito's neck without any hindrance.
Then came the guard's arms, body...
The whole person seemed to have passed through an illusory shadow, passing directly through Obito's body!
"What?"
The guard was shocked.
What kind of ninjutsu is this?
At the moment when his old strength was exhausted and new strength was yet to be generated, his body rushed forward due to inertia.
Obito turned around suddenly.
The originally illusory body instantly materialized.
One hand reached out and grabbed the guard's neck like an iron pincer.
"A guy who overestimates his own abilities."
Obito's cold voice sounded.
Later.
The one eye scarlet Three-tomoe Sharingan turned suddenly.
Genjutsu·Sharingan!
"Uh..."
The guard's body stiffened suddenly.
His eyes, originally full of murderous intent, instantly became dull and empty.
"Go."
Obito flicked it away.
The Elite Jonin guard actually acted like a dog. He obediently Earth Flow walked to the corner and stood facing the wall, motionless.
In the entire secret room, all the elders stared at Obito with their eyes wide open, as if they had seen a ghost.
Just one move!
Not only did he ignore physical attacks, he also instantly controlled a Elite Jonin?
"Sharingan..."
Raizo stared hard at Obito's exposed single eye, and his voice became extremely dry.
"Are you from...Uchiha Clan?"
"Are you the killer sent by Uchiha Yao?"
Thinking of this possibility, Raizo's heart instantly sank to the bottom.
If Uchiha Yao really sent someone to assassinate them, then I'm afraid they will really have to answer here today.
"Uchiha Yao?"
Obito snorted coldly, his tone full of resentment.
"No, I was not sent by him to kill you!"
"On the contrary, I am Uchiha Yao's enemy!"
Obito slowly walked to the conference table, looked at Raizo who looked wary, and said lightly:
"The enemy of my enemy is my friend."
"I'm the same as you, we all want Uchiha Yao to die, and we all want to see Konoha destroyed."
"So, I'm here to give you hope."
Raizo narrowed his eyes, but did not relax his vigilance because of Obito's words.
As an old fox who has been working in Shinobi World for decades, how could he easily trust a person of unknown origin?
"Why should I trust you?"
Raizo asked coldly.
"You're such a secretive guy, who knows what your plans are?"
