Kirigakure.
Amidst the white fog, a young man with a calm expression was quietly walking on the road.
Gray hair, red pupils, and the scar on his cheek undoubtedly indicated his identity. He was Yagura, who appeared in the Mizukage's office before.
The surroundings were quiet, and only the sound of his footsteps could be heard.
At this moment, he suddenly stopped in his tracks.
The expression on his face didn't change, but his eyes glanced at a dark corner behind him, and said in a low voice.
"Juzo, what's your purpose for following me?"
The thick fog behind him slowly dispersed, and a tall man with black hair walked out of the dark corner.
There was a cross-shaped scar on his face, giving him a ferocious look.
However, at this time, he didn't show any malice toward Yagura. He just chuckled and said with a hoarse voice.
"You found me, Yagura, sure enough, your perception is still so sensitive …"
In this regard, Yagura was still expressionless, his hands crossed in front of his chest, glanced at him gently, and said in a deep voice.
"You haven't explained your purpose yet. If Mizukage-sama knows what you're doing at this time, I'm afraid he will think of some bad things. At that time, I'm afraid even I will be involved."
Having said that, he glanced at him faintly and said in a deep voice.
"Tell me, why are you here?"
Hearing Yagura's indifferent words, Biwa Juzo's eyes narrowed. There was a faint smile on the corner of his mouth as he said in a low voice.
"You've changed into this, and you're still speaking for that guy?"
In this regard, Yagura's face was indifferent, and he was silent.
But Juzo Pipa stared at him and continued.
"Forced to become the Sanbi's Human Column Force, don't you have any complaints in your heart?"
"If I remember correctly, you have been investigating something in the village before. Is the matter of you becoming the Human Column Force related to what you did before?"
Yagura's eyes were very cold when he heard his words. He said coldly.
"I think … this should have nothing to do with you. I don't need others to worry about my affairs."
Juzo's eyes flashed, and he said in a deep voice.
"Do you think this is your problem alone, Yagura …"
"You should have noticed it long ago, the man sitting in that position … is no longer the Mizukage-sama we used to know …"
Hearing his words, Yagura's eyes narrowed, he turned to look at him and said in a deep voice.
"What do you know?"
Pipa Juzang smiled sinisterly. He didn't answer his words, but said in a low voice.
"It doesn't matter what I know, what's important is who dares to control Mizukage-sama … Of course, it doesn't matter."
"To me, this is even better. After all … I've had enough of this suffocating village."
"If someone comes to challenge the authority of the Ghost Lantern Clan, we'll have more chances, right …?"
Hearing his words, Yagura's eyes tightened, frowned, and said in a deep voice.
"You covet the position of the Mizukage!"
Pipa Juzo smiled slightly and did not deny it. He waved his hands and said in a hoarse voice.
"What's wrong with that? Do you think that Fuji and Jinba don't have any ideas about it!?"
"The so-called Seven Ninja Swordsmen … Just a title like that won't satisfy their needs!"
Yagura's eyes were cold as he said in a deep voice.
"Arrogant ambition always needs enough strength to match it, do you think you are qualified!?"
Pipa Juzo waved his hand and said in a hoarse voice.
"Let's talk about this later, after all, the person behind the scenes hasn't revealed his real tail yet."
"I came to you this time just to join forces with you. After all, you were the first to notice Mizukage-sama's abnormality. Those guys probably still believe that they still believe in the original Mizukage."
Yagura's face slightly changed, he put down his guard and turned around without hesitation.
"Sorry, I have my own way to solve these problems, and I don't want to join forces with anyone."
"As a former companion, I advise you not to provoke the person behind the scenes, he's not someone you can mess with now."
After that, he walked quietly into the thick fog.
Pipa Juzo, who was behind him, didn't stop him. He just quietly looked at Yagura's back and murmured.
"Even you are so afraid of him … Yagura …"
"It seems that … Kirigakure really has a great existence …"
As he spoke, he slowly turned his head and glanced at the tall black building in the distance. There was a trace of undetectable seriousness in his eyes.
.....
Land of Fire.
While the ninjas of Wood Leaf Village were still shocked by Aizen's participation in this war, an attack beyond their imagination was ready.
The lush forest was silent at this time.
On the tall trees, if you look carefully, you will find that there is no movement of birds or beasts.
If there is an experienced ninja here, he will definitely find the abnormality.
Only the presence of humans can cause this situation.
"Tsuchikage-sama, we have arrived at the barrier of Wood Leaf Village. Our team is in position now, should we attack Wood Leaf now!?"
At the top of the tree, a figure that almost turned into the same color as the tree asked respectfully.
Hearing his words, the short old man floating in the air stared sharply into the distance. He seemed to be deep in thought, and a sharp light flashed through his eyes.
"Inform Rasa, let the team rest now, when night falls, we will attack!"
After hearing Onoki's words, the figure looked respectful, but he hesitated for a moment and couldn't help but ask.
"But … Tsuchikage-sama, with so many of us here, there is a possibility of being discovered at any time … When night falls, will …"
Before he finished his words, he was interrupted by Onoki.
"After these days of trekking, the team is a little tired. If we attack Wood Leaf in this state, I dare not be so arrogant."
"Inform the rest, let the Genjutsu team expand the scope of the Genjutsu as much as possible so that most of the ninjas can have enough rest."
"In this battle, I must make sure that the Rock Ninjas can defeat Wood Leaf in one go!"
Hearing Onoki's words, the Rock Ninja said in a deep voice.
"I understand, Tsuchikage-sama!"
After he finished speaking, his figure disappeared from the spot.
Only Onoki was left floating in the air, looking at the distance with a dignified expression, murmuring.
"Wood Leaf … It's time for you to taste the Rock's revenge …"
