But now, two people, Kakuzu and Hatake Sakumo, have taken over the entire situation with an efficiency that he did not expect at all. The reputation Akatsuki has accumulated among the people over the years is spreading at a viral speed under the operation of "relief, comfort, and reconstruction".
A child who had just received the porridge looked up at Kakuzu not far away, and asked in a sweet voice, "Uncle, are you from Xiao?"
"... That's right." Kakuzu turned away and said in a harsh tone of disgust, but felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.
"The people in Xiao are really nice, much better than the people in Lord Hanzō!" The child ran away with a smile.
Obito's one eye trembled slightly.
I worked so hard for so many years to hold back a big move, and then someone cut me off? This plot is definitely going in the wrong direction!!!
He turned around silently and walked out of the crowd, with a rare hint of irritation in his tone.
Back in the mine, Obito took off his mask and smashed it on the ground.
"What is this?" He suppressed his anger, his tone full of reluctance, "I calculated a lot, but I didn't expect that "Xiao" would be so powerful. Before Hanzo of the Salamander's bones were cold, they took all the Land of Rain people's hearts and minds into their pockets?"
"What do you think?" Obito turned to look at Black Zetsu.
The black part of Black Zetsu spoke first, "The enemy is difficult to deal with, and if we struggle for a long time, it will easily expose us, which will be detrimental to the next plan."
Obito was silent for a moment, and turned around in circles twice irritably.
"Nagato can't be found. Land of Rain's territory was taken over first, so it means we didn't get anything!" He gritted his teeth.
"Wait a minute." Black Zetsu said slowly, "Nagato is probably seriously injured and in a coma, but he can't hide forever. We'll take action again when they show up."
"... That's all we can do." Obito nodded irritably, and then asked as if he remembered something, "By the way, where is Hanzō's body? Maybe he can find some clues about the whereabouts of Nagato and the others."
Black Zetsu's movements paused almost imperceptibly.
"I don't know, they probably took care of it."
"Disposed of it?" Obito was stunned for a moment, then without thinking much, he waved his hand, "Okay, anyway, you can't find anything from a dead person."
He picked up the mask on the ground again, put it back on his face, and his tone regained a bit of playfulness. "But this time it can be regarded as teaching us a lesson - this job of savior cannot be done slowly, you have to get ahead of others. There is a huge difference between providing help in the snow and adding the icing on the cake."
Black Zetsu did not answer the call again.
After Obito turned away and disappeared in the rain, Black Zetsu stood alone deep in the mine, without moving for a long time.
Land of Water, Food Is Heaven Main store is on the third basement floor.
At this moment, it was cleared into a wide open space. On the ground, teleportation array patterns painted with special paint were crisscrossed, glowing with a faint green light.
Yukimura Shigure stood in the center of the formation, staring at the halo with one eye, and clenched and unclenched his right hand unconsciously.
Aying stood next to him, checking the last batch of supplies list with an expressionless face, and said in a calm tone, "Nervous?"
"... Nonsense." Yukimura Shigure replied in a muffled voice.
He has been waiting for so many years. From an Avenger who faked his death and escaped with only one breath, to now the actual leader of the "Food Is Heaven" Land of Water branch, he has done too many things - comforting orphans, laying out an intelligence network, and secretly sending Yuki Clan bloodlines out to Kirigakure in batches together with other Kekkei Genkai children.
Every time he sent them off, he would think in his heart: I hope these children can grow up healthy and happy in the future and not return to this bloody and cruel country.
But now.
"The young master's move against the Kingdom of Water this time is quite generous. All Shiweitian headquarters and branches in the Kingdom of Water will accept personnel sent by the organization, roughly around 300 people."
"Well, according to the plan, we will use each store as a base to launch unified operations against Land of Water and Kirigakure."
"Is everything arranged?"
"Don't worry, we have already arranged it!"
"It's almost time." Aying estimated the time, "The first batch of personnel should be arriving."
Buzz--
The array pattern suddenly lit up and then exploded, scattering light and dust.
This is the internal teleportation array transformed by Food Is Heaven between Food Is Heaven and Senju Chen using Flying Thunder God. It was previously used to "deliver takeout"!!!
Yukimura Shigure subconsciously held his breath.
In the light and dust, figures gradually appeared.
"We've finally arrived - I almost vomited from this teleportation!" A powerful roar sounded first, and then a burly figure stepped out of the light dust, carrying a huge beheading knife half a man's height on his shoulder. It was none other than Zabuza Momochi. As soon as he landed, he looked around and twitched his nose. "This unpleasant fishy smell in the air is finally back."
"Well... we're back." A cold voice next to him answered.
Yukimura Ryota.
He had long dark hair, clear eyes with a hint of coldness, and several special ice-type ninja tools hung around his waist. He stepped out of the teleportation array, glanced around, and finally landed on Yukimura Shigure's face.
The two looked at each other for three full seconds.
"You... are you Ryota?" Yukimura Shigure's voice was trembling. He remembered that this child was as thin as a kitten when he was sent away.
But when we meet again a few years later, she has grown into a big girl!!!
Huh? Big girl?
Yukimura Shigure Suddenly I felt something was wrong, but I didn't have time to think about it.
"Clan leader." Yukimura Ryota knelt down on one knee and performed a standard clan salute, his voice filled with uncontrollable sobs, "I'm back."
Yukimura Shigure's throat tightened and he couldn't say a word. He just stepped forward quickly, pulled him up from the ground, and patted his shoulder hard.
"It'll be good to come back, it'll be good to come back..." Hearing Yukimura Ryota's words, moisture suddenly welled up in his eyes.
"Okay, okay, what's the point of crying over a cooked duck?" Zabuza Momochi interrupted rudely from the side, "Can we talk about business first? I'm back to kill people this time."
Aying glanced at him coldly. "Return to the team first and wait for instructions."
"Tsk, that's disappointing."
The second batch of teleportation arrays glowed again.
This time Kisame Hoshigaki and Rin Nohara came out. Kisame wrinkled his shark face as soon as he came out, and Samehada creaked under his saddle. "He's back."
Rin Nohara followed him, looking around the warehouse curiously. "It's cleaner than expected, brother Kisame, there is no 'stinky ditch' here as you mentioned."
"... When did I say this!"
Yukimura Shigure looked at the unfamiliar but somehow familiar young man in front of him, and couldn't help but ask Aying: "Is this...?"
"The tall one was also given away a few years ago." Aying simply explained, "This little girl is not. She should have come with the tall one."
Yukimura Shigure didn't ask any more questions, just nodded silently, but the heavy thing in my heart seemed to have increased.
Then came the third batch, the fourth batch, the fifth batch...
