Meanwhile, Uchiha Kazama had already arrived in the Land of Lightning.
Konan followed at Uchiha Kazama's side.
At that moment, she felt as though she had fallen under a Genjutsu.
She had clearly come to Konoha to gather intelligence, yet now she had followed Uchiha Kazama all the way to the Land of Lightning.
Uchiha Kazama was obviously planning to stir up trouble in Kumogakure.
Two people, against an entire village!
Even if Kumogakure's Raikage had taken the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki and some of the village's Shinobi to attack Konoha...

With that, Uchiha Kazama vanished from where he stood.
Konan followed him.
Half an hour later.
The two had arrived outside Kumogakure.
Kumogakure's sensory barrier was powerful as well.
By the time they arrived, Yugito Nii, who had remained behind to defend Kumogakure, was already waiting at the village entrance with hundreds of Shinobi, ready for battle.
"The Fifth Hokage?!"
Yugito Nii's heart jolted as she looked at the man before her.
She didn't recognize Konan.
But Uchiha Kazama...
She certainly recognized the Fifth Hokage, whose name had been making waves lately.
Why wasn't Konoha's Kage in his own village? What was he doing here?!
"Is this all the strength Kumogakure has left?!"
"Too weak!"
"Yugito Nii, seal yourself now, then
