"Shall I go too?" Rin Nohara was a little surprised.
"Well, you go together this time and treat it as a tourist. The provincial government always says that I am exploiting your labor force."
"Master Mizukage, what is our attitude when we go this time?" Mei Terumi said,
"No attitude, no need to express your stance, no need to take sides."
"Understood, Master Mizukage, then I will go and connect with the Security Department first, and set off as soon as possible in the next two days." After Mei Terumi finished speaking, he retreated.
Senju Chen turned to Lin.
Lin pursed her lips and held something in her sleeves with her fingers.
"Nervous?" Senju Chen asked.
"A little bit." Lin took a deep breath, "I have never been a diplomat."
"Don't worry." Senju Chen stood up and walked around to her, "You just go and show your face."
"Show up?"
"Kirigakure sent a diplomatic mission to Land of Rain, which is justifiable. You are accompanying Mizukage as an external consultant, and the name change is justifiable. Hatake Sakumo and Kakuzu are also over there. They will receive you when you get there."
Senju Chen said this in a very casual tone.
But what he had in mind was something else entirely.
Obito, the bastard, has been tormenting Shinobi World all these years in the name of Rin Nohara. He talks about "the world is unfair to Lin", but in reality? In fact, Lin is living a good life under Senju Chen - working as a secretary, doing diplomacy, and teaching Jinchūriki how to behave.
What is the current situation of Land of Rain? The base camp of Akatsuki and the key monitoring area of Obito.
Senju Chen is going to send Rin Nohara there this time.
If I didn't find it, it was just a normal diplomatic activity.
What if you find out!
Hey hey hey!!!
Obito Uchiha, step on the horse and take a closer look. The Rin Nohara you have been thinking about is not only not dead, but has become Three-Tails Jinchūriki, and is even more energetic than you.
Where is your Eye of the Moon Plan? Where is your "This world killed Lin"?
Can the logic you use to deceive yourself still hold up?
Let me see how you can carry on with your plan!
Senju Chen Thinking of this, the corner of his mouth couldn't help but curl up.
"Master Mizukage, what are you laughing at?" Lin looked at Kirisame Ryo who suddenly felt silly and happy.
"Ahem, it's nothing." Senju Chen retracted his smile and cleared his throat, "You should also go down and prepare. When you're done, go with Mei Terumi."
"Yes, Master Mizukage."
At the same time.
Land of Water Eastern coast, nameless reef.
The waves hit the moss-covered stone walls, splashing white water foam.
The air twisted for a moment.
Obito Uchiha walked out of the void, stepped on the slippery rocks, and stood firm.
Black Zetsu rose half of his body from the crack at the sole of his foot.
"Land of Water, we are back again." Obito glanced at the distant coastline. The fog was so heavy that the land was almost invisible.
"Kirigakure is in the northwest direction, about sixty miles away in a straight line." Black Zetsu said.
Obito squatted down and said, "First, tell me about the information you found about Kirisame Ryo."
"Kirisame Ryo. Ninja Academy was born. Current Kirigakure Mizukage. He joined Ninja Academy more than twenty years ago and was unknown until you asked him to take over High Tower, and then overthrew all our forces overnight a few years later."
"..."
So is it my fault?
Obito suddenly didn't want to talk to Black Zetsu.
"He remained in obscurity for twenty years?"
"Yes. There are no mission records, assignment records, or even records of leaving the village in this blank space." Black Zetsu's voice carried a subtle uneasiness, "It's as if this person has been quietly lurking in High Tower for more than twenty years, and then directly sat in Mizukage's seat."
"He can't do it alone." Obito said, "Purge our forces and six elders overnight - this kind of thing requires intelligence, military strength and execution accurate to the minute. It also requires a network that has been operating in the dark for many years."
"Genji." Black Zetsu said.
Obito remembered the old man who had forced him to death because Kirigakure only had his own voice.
Is Kirisame Ryo really the back-up man of the old man Genji?
"Then how do you explain Twins Organization? Is he also the back-upman of that old man Genji?"
"Those ninjas that appeared in pairs." Black Zetsu processed the information collected before, "Someone inside Kirigakure saw with their own eyes that during that coup, pairs of combat units appeared at every key position. They looked exactly the same and acted in the same way, but after one of them was killed, the body would quickly turn white and then dissolve."
"Albino." Obito's tone changed.
"Yes. It turns white and then melts away like mud."
"White Zetsu." he said.
Black Zetsu did not answer the call.
"The thing that dissolved -" Obito's voice was very low, "It must be White Zetsu."
"Not sure." Black Zetsu's tone was very cautious, "It's just that the characteristics are similar. Whitening, dissolving, no residue. But White Zetsu is ours--"
"Ours?" Obito sneered, "The Demonic Statue in Land of Fire's cave is about to bloom?"
Black Zetsu was silent.
Obito Turn around and face northwest.
Behind the mist is Kirigakure. It's the man named Kirisame Ryo. He's the rebel who didn't know what he did during the twenty-year gap.
"Let's check Kirisame Ryo first. In the past twenty years, he can't always be alone. He also has to eat and socialize." Obito took two steps forward. "Teachers, classmates, neighbors, he will always leave flaws."
"What we are looking for is who is behind him."
The spiral closes.
The only sounds left on the reef were the sound of waves and half of Black Zetsu's body.
Black Zetsu slowly sank into the ground.
Before disappearing completely, it muttered to itself.
"Kirisame Ryo..."
"Nagato..."
"Twins Organization!"
"Demonic Statue of the Outer Path!"
"White Zetsu!"
"If the same person stands behind these names..."
It didn't finish the sentence.
Because it itself doesn't dare to think about it.
One week later, Land of Rain
Kakuzu doesn't know how many people he has received recently. He feels that Hanzo of the Salamander's shabby mansion can no longer accommodate them.
And I have almost transformed from a professional accountant to a professional doorman!
However, the ones who came out to receive us this time were Land of Water's diplomatic team, who could be considered "ours".
The leader was dressed in a sexy cheongsam and was none other than Mei Terumi.
Next to Mei Terumi is the current secretary of Mizukage, Rin Nohara, who disguises himself as Transformation Technique.
Rin Nohara looked at the never-ending rain above the head. The gray sky. There was mud and ruins everywhere.
The last time she came to Land of Rain was at Third Shinobi World War.
At that time, I had teachers Minato Namikaze, Kakashi and Obito around me.
And now--
"Everyone is tired from traveling, let's go quickly." Kakuzu turned around, "The leader has prepared a room for everyone in the mansion."
Lin withdrew her gaze and followed.
Obito used Transformation Jutsu to disguise himself as a middle-aged fisherman, sitting at the tea stall at the entrance of the village, with a bowl of cool crude tea in front of him.
He's been here for a week.
In one week, he visited three abandoned settlements related to the Ninja Academy and checked 17 old household registrations.
All point to the same conclusion--
The name Kirisame Ryo did exist in the registration list of the Ninja Academy twenty years ago.
The record of High Tower is also considered complete. Judging from the information found, Kirisame Ryo is just a waste who is waiting to die in High Tower.
But other than that, nothing unusual.
"Impossible." Obito pushed the tea bowl away.
Black Zetsu raised half his head from his feet, "What's wrong?"
"It's too clean." Obito stared at the turbid tea in the bowl, "This Kirisame Ryo has been here for so many years and it can't be so clean. It's as clean as if we checked it wrong."
"Unless this person's past was originally made up, according to the information we have found, it is impossible for this person to have such ability, plan for many years, and then overthrow Kirigakure overnight." Black Zetsu finished for him.
Obito looked at the mist in the distance, the outline of Kirigakure was looming, and the whole person seemed a little irritable.
Kirisame Ryo, who is behind you?
"Black Zetsu. Nagato Is there any movement over there?" Obito asked casually.
"Recently, all Shinobi World are sending people to Land of Rain." Black Zetsu's voice suddenly became different.
"Where is Kirisame Ryo, who did he send there?"
Black Zetsu was silent for half a second.
"Kirigakure's team, I only saw two women leading it."
"Two women?"
"A very tall man wearing a blue robe. He looks like a high-ranking person from Kirigakure."
"Where's the other one?"
"Another..."
There was an imperceptible hesitation in Black Zetsu's voice.
"The other one is wearing Transformation Technique and can't see his face clearly..."
