Wood Leaf, Naruto's roof.
Watergate looked down at the village that was no longer as bustling as it used to be.
Since he issued the evacuation order, as early as half a month ago, the civilians in the village have been evacuated.
Whoosh!
The soft wind blew, and the white haori fluttered with it. At this time, the expression in his blue eyes was very deep.
Minato seemed to have sensed something and turned his eyes slightly.
A beautiful figure fell beside him, and her long red hair was also fluttering in the wind. Shinna Kushina reached out and lifted her bangs that covered her eyes, and said, "It doesn't make much sense for you to wait here, it's better to go home."
Since the disappearance of the four Jinchuriki, the ninja world was in chaos, and Wood Leaf, Sand Ninja, and Mist Ninja Alliance jointly carried out a search operation.
So now there are very few tasks entrusted to the ninja village, and Watergate didn't have so many complicated things.
However, Watergate still often stood on the roof of Naruto's roof, waiting for relevant news to come back.
"No matter what happens, I and the two children will always be with you."
"Didn't you say that this time, nothing can separate us?"
Shinna Kushina held Watergate's hand and felt the warmth of her palm, and Watergate's tight face eased a little.
"That's right." Watergate chuckled aloud.
Suddenly, Watergate felt something in his mind.
"There's news!" Watergate suddenly said, and Shinna Kushina's face also changed.
Watergate's hand separated from Shinna Kushina's palm, and his hands formed a seal, and his eyes closed slightly.
As he closed his eyes, Shinna Kushina could clearly feel that in the air of the entire Wood Leaf and even the wider area, there was some kind of energy madly rushing toward the roof of Naruto's roof.
At the corner of Watergate's eyes, orange eyeshadow gradually appeared.
Only in Sage Mode could Watergate's Chakra sense be maximized.
However, as he extended his perception, his brows gradually furrowed.
Watergate suddenly opened his eyes. Shinna Kushina quickly asked, "How is it?"
"My mark … has disappeared." His voice was filled with shock.
With Watergate's current attainments in the Flying Thunder God Technique and the perception ability of the immortal technique, even if the enemy immediately discovered the whereabouts of the scouting team and destroyed the mark, there should still be residual Chakra's aura.
If that was the case, he would definitely be able to sense it.
However, his aura had completely disappeared. There was only one explanation …
"That guy is still alive!"
Watergate's face suddenly became gloomy. "There's only one possibility. The masked man used his eye technique to transfer my mark to another space."
If the mark is no longer in this world, no matter how strong Watergate is, naturally, he can't sense it.
"He's still alive after so many times, he's really difficult to deal with …"
Shinna Kushina's face was cold. She was the only one who knew Watergate's secret. Including before her rebirth, Watergate had fought with him three times.
The three confrontations ended with Watergate's victory. The last time, Watergate caused a fatal injury to him.
However, this guy still exists in this world.
"However, although I can't sense the mark and can't make any changes in time and space, I can still lock the approximate location, right?"
Shinna Kushina asked. She was the one who knew Watergate's ability best.
"Do you want to immediately inform the scouting team nearby to lock the target?"
Watergate shook his head and said, "It's too late. Except for me, no one can deal with that guy's Dojutsu."
"It seems that it's better to stop all the ninjas in the scouting team …"
"It's been a long time, those captured Jinchuriki have no chance of surviving."
Shinna Kushina understood Watergate's meaning. At this time, it's not good to divide his strength.
Watergate slightly raised his head and looked at the blue sky, muttering to himself.
"Nagato, it's almost time for you to implement what you said before."
...
On the top of the mountain, the explosion immediately broke the silence in the mountain forest.
The masked man appeared in the air, after changing the mark, his eyes locked on the three figures in the fire.
Although they are basically dead, it's impossible to determine whether they still have the mark left by Watergate or not.
There was a fluctuation in space, and the three-person scouting team was also drawn into another world.
Xiao Nan glanced faintly and fell down.
The masked man's body fell, with his right eye as the center, the space distorted, and his body was drawn in.
"Byakugan, did Wood Leaf's people find us?"
When the masked man's figure appeared somewhere in the crevice of the mountain, Nagato also slowly walked out of a cave.
As he stepped out of the cave, the barrier that enveloped the entire cave was revealed and gradually dissipated.
"Yeah."
Xiao Nan landed beside Nagato at this time and nodded lightly.
"Since they want to find me so much, I won't hide anymore."
Nagato's face was thinner than before, but his eyes were suddenly covered with a layer of mystery, like an unfathomable abyss.
"Can you control the power in your body?"
The masked man looked at Nagato with a little surprise. Nagato didn't seal the Bijuu according to the rules, so he could only suppress it with his Dojutsu.
His Chakra fluctuations were no longer chaotic, which means that he has succeeded.
Nagato didn't respond.
"In that case, gather everyone immediately."
The masked man was suddenly a little excited, and there was some relief and joy in his voice.
"There's no need to gather everyone in Konoha." Nagato suddenly said.
The masked man's eyes were cold, and he whispered: "What do you mean?"
"With the power that Wood Leaf has now, even if the Akatsuki sent all their members, it would be difficult to deal with them, right?"
Nagato stared at the masked man and said slowly.
The latter naturally understood how powerful Wood Leaf is now, and they have lost Orochimaru's help.
"Are you going to go to Wood Leaf alone?"
Xiao Nan on the side also changed, looking at Nagato, her face was very ugly, and she shook her head.
"Although you are strong enough now, but going there is a death wish." The masked man's voice was cold.
"If it's Namikaze Watergate and all the ninjas in Wood Leaf, it is indeed a dead end."
Nagato didn't deny the former's statement, and then said: "It's just that if we concentrate all our forces to attack Wood Leaf, the chance of winning is not high."
He has already collected information that Namikaze Watergate will let the civilians of Wood Leaf leave the village to take refuge.
Now the ninjas in the village are determined to fight to the death, and the previous two acts of distracting Namikaze Watergate will not work.
"Then what are you going to do?" The masked man said.
Nagato glanced at him, and when he turned his eyes, there was a hint of contempt in them.
"I will go to Wood Leaf alone, and the rest of the organization will go to several allies of Wood Leaf to distract their forces."
