On the fourth day, the four major ninja villages of the Land of Iron had gathered.
Only the Land of Earth, the furthest away, remained, along with Tsuchikage, who suddenly strained his back on the road, severely impacting the main force's progress.
It's worth mentioning that, just like in the original story, Gaara as the Fifth Kazekage of the Land of Wind.
It was only through Chiyo's forbidden technique, which cost her own life, that Gaara, who had lost his One-Tail Gaara, was revived.
As for Chiyo, who was already under Fugaku's control through Genjutsu, why did she heal Gaara...?
It's important to know that it was Itachi and Kisame, who had been brainwashed by Kotoamatsukami, who captured Gaara's true form.
Haruma didn't say that the Land of Wind has always been under her control.
A simple disguise, and the toll was paid.
The two groups, one after the other, once again stepped into the ninja village shrouded in thick fog.
Konan, who started from the Land of Iron, and Hyuga Hiashi.
Obito, who set off from Amegakure, and Black and White Zetsu, who was with him, were also present.
The four people, each with their own thoughts, all looked at the towering building that had never been open to the public!
"Two curious adventurers, accompanied by two undercover agents..."
As he tidied the toll money in his pocket, Yagura looked towards the village with a mocking expression and sighed in a rather mature tone:
"What a unique adventure!"
The Land of Iron, the detached house where Kirigakure resides.
On the conspicuous second-floor balcony, steam rises from the round table, and the aroma of tea fills the air.
On Haruma, Mei Terumi, Shisui, Kisame, and Itachi sat on wooden chairs, drinking tea and chatting.
This leisurely and heartwarming scene plays out almost every day.
Kakashi, at least, thought so, as he was hiding among the samurai below using his Transformation Technique.
Pushing up his sunglasses, Kakashi, as usual, secretly glanced at the people on the balcony with his Sharingan.
"Although it's not the first time I've seen it..."
Thinking back to the person who calmly removed his eyeballs back then, Kakashi sighed softly:
"This amount of Chakra is truly astounding..."
After confirming that the people were not Clone Technique or similar substitutes, Kakashi disappeared back into the crowd and changed his position to monitor them.
"Shouldn't we handle things at the company?"
Looking at the person sipping tea, Mei Terumi spoke softly, "Or perhaps you have some arrangements in the company that we don't know about?"
Upon Mei Terumi's words, Shisui and the others immediately perked up their ears in curiosity.
Haruma took a sip of hot tea and said calmly, "Things are the same at the company. I don't have the time to plan any contingency plans."
"No?"
Mei Terumi raised an eyebrow. " Obito Konan, with Obito's abilities, Fugaku alone might not be able to keep the company's secrets."
"You really don't plan to go back?"
Mei Terumi's tone was slightly surprised. "Even if it's just for show for Konoha, with your Flying Thunder God technique, it shouldn't take long to resolve this, right?"
"Go back?"
Haruma toyed with the teacup in her hand, her tone now carrying a rather meaningful undertone. "When did I leave the company?"
"When was it that I said I am the original self now?"
Upon hearing this,
While the others were shocked, Itachi immediately activated the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan and looked at Haruma beside him!
Chakra far surpassing even Kage Level!
His Chakra reserves even surpassed those of Kisame, who was known as the Tailless Tailed Beast!
If Haruma hadn't spoken, Itachi certainly wouldn't have mistaken Haruma, who hadn't left her residence for the past few days, for a clone.
But now...
Itachi frowned, unsure.
After all, this person has many tricks up their sleeve and is very cunning...
Over the years, Itachi still couldn't figure out this person's strength, purpose, or trump cards.
The only thing that can be confirmed is this person's obsession with money...
No, it should be called an obsession...
Extremely deep!!!
"This building is guarded by skilled ninjas on every floor."
"Only the top floor is currently unoccupied."
"This should be the Mizukage's usual office location, making it the best place to infiltrate."
In the thick fog not far from the Great Rich Man Company, Hiashi's eyes were bulging with veins, as if he was taking the Byakugan to the extreme.
Konan nodded upon hearing this, and the paper-like riding bird silently took shape.
After passing through the dimly lit corridor, at the end stands a red wooden door nearly three meters high.
Pushing open the door, one is met with an abyss of darkness, as if standing before a deep chasm.
Konan hesitated for a moment, then finally stepped inside!
"Clatter,"
The ripples spreading from beneath my feet gradually dissipated.
Blue sky, white clouds
An endless expanse of azure lake...
Konan stepped onto the lake surface, and her pupils suddenly contracted.
It's just a door, but now it feels like I've traveled to another world!
Traps, barriers, or Genjutsu?!
Cold sweat trickled down her forehead Konan controlled the Chakra within her body, causing it to surge and disperse.
"Gurgle, gurgle..."
Under Konan's wary gaze, two coffins suddenly rose from the center of the lake.
" Nagato!?"
" Yahiko!?"
The upright coffin was open, and Konan couldn't help but gasp in surprise!
"The top floor, the best place to break in."
Black Zetsu suggested from the side.
Obito nodded, and together with Black Zetsu, they vanished into the spatial vortex.
"Clatter,"
With a furrowed brow beneath the mask, Obito, who already possessed the space-time Dōjutsu, immediately recognized the difference in this space!
This is not the Shinobi World, nor is it Genjutsu!
It's more like a different dimension Demonic Statue of the Outer Path exists, the body of the Ten-Tails!
"Boom boom boom!!"
Before Obito could think further, a sudden explosion of Kakkō engulfed Obito and the Black and White Zetsu in the blink of an eye!
"Oh my, I didn't expect to run into someone I know here."
" Black Zetsu, do you think people from other dimensions poop?"
The Black and White Zetsu that emerged from the lake, half of its body white, grumbled.
Before Black Zetsu could respond, a white wave of energy surged forth!
"Eight Trigrams - Empty Wall Palm!"
Regaining control of his body, Black Zetsu crouched down to dodge while looking at his attacker!
" Byakugan, what a troublesome ability!"
Facing the approaching Hiashi, Black and White Zetsu solemnly dived to the bottom of the lake!
" Gentle Fist - Lion Dance Steps!"
With a Hiashi shout, Rizu punched the lake surface with both fists!
"Boom!!"
The waves surged up, carrying Black and White Zetsu's body away into the distance!
As the smoke cleared,
Obito, who was unharmed in the explosion, glanced at Black Zetsu and Hiashi, who were entangled in the distance, and slowly looked up.
White paper fluttered down, and the angel Konan, floating in mid-air, spread her wings wide, her eyes filled with hatred that seemed to pierce through her!
And behind her, carried by a white bird, were two... corpses.
Nagato, whom I've always longed for, has appeared here with his Rinnegan.
Instead of feeling surprised, Obito's heart was filled with that familiar feeling once again!
That terrifying feeling of being manipulated and controlled, like a puppet on a string!
Above the white clouds
Someone lay on their side beneath the clouds, gazing at the scene with the air of a spectator watching a spectacle!
