Rain poured down in torrents, the icy water blurring vision and muffling sound.
The extreme weather drastically reduced the ninjas' ability to gather intelligence.
Without special methods, people could barely tell north from south in the rain that obscured heaven and earth, let alone head in the right direction.
It was perfect weather for Black Zetsu to stir up trouble. Who knew whether he had done something to cause it?
Konoha's drainage system faced its greatest challenge since the village's founding, with excess rainwater rushing out of the village through outlets along its waterways.
Fortunately, most of Konoha's infrastructure had been built by Hashirama Senju using Wood Release, so its quality was guaranteed. Otherwise, this downpour might have flooded the entire village.
Shimura Danzō looked at Xihuo, who followed behind him in the rain without a word, his mind furiously working through his schemes. He had not stopped calculating since they first met.
Who exactly was Xihuo? Was he Uchiha Kagami?
If he really was Huo He, I refuse to believe he felt nothing for the place where he grew up!
Perhaps this trip to the Uchiha Clan Compound would reveal Xihuo's true identity.
Investigating Xihuo's identity was the reason Shimura Danzō had agreed to let him accompany them.
Otherwise, as an outside organization visiting Konoha for the first time, the Shadow Organization should never have been allowed to interfere in the village's internal affairs, let alone visit the compound of one of its founding clans-the most important, vulnerable, and private place for any clan.
They reached the Uchiha Clan Compound, and Eight-Tails pointed them in the right direction.
As a tailed beast whose true form was Gyuki and whose appearance closely resembled an octopus, he loved torrential rain like this. He felt exceptionally comfortable and at ease in it.
