Time flew by.
In the blink of an eye, several days had passed.
The seemingly calm and waveless Shinobi World actually harbored an approaching storm.
In Sunagakure,
Under the orders of Rasa, five Anbu Teams quietly departed into the night!
Two heading east, three heading north!
The destination of the eastbound Anbu Teams was naturally the giant in the east, the Land of Fire's Konoha.
The purpose of their trip was only one—
To investigate whether the Uchiha Clan mentioned in the intelligence had truly been annihilated.
The northbound Anbu Teams headed directly for the small country bordering the northern territory of the Land of Wind, the Land of Rain.
Unlike the first group,
They had two purposes for coming here.
First: Infiltrate Amegakure and ascertain whether their leader, Hanzo of the Salamander, was still alive.
Second: If both pieces of intelligence proved true, then this unit would act as Sunagakure's advance force and directly launch a war against Amegakure!
This was the final plan set by Rasa!
...
At this moment,
By the lakeside of Amegakure.
A group of masked Shinobi in strange attire were crouched in several patches of dense grass, closely observing the movements across the lake.
They were the three Anbu Teams sent by Sunagakure!
"Everyone, attention!"
"Must infiltrate cautiously, absolutely do not be discovered by any shinobi or power inside!"
"If discovered—"
"Then eliminate them as quickly as possible and dispose of the bodies!"
"Does everyone understand?!"
"—Understood!"
All members responded seriously and lowly.
Because they all knew that this time, it concerned the entire rise plan of Sunagakure, and no mistakes could be afforded!
And as the Anbu directly under the Kazekage, they were already prepared with the resolve to fight!
Among them were not a few top-tier Sunagakure's Elite Jonin.
This time, the plan would definitely succeed!
"Good... move out!"
...
Just as the Sunagakure's Shinobi were infiltrating,
Inside Amegakure.
In a cozy little restaurant,
Kyo was sitting in a booth, enjoying a sumptuous dinner.
"I have to say,"
"This freeloaded food is truly never tiresome."
Kyo's dinner was free.
And the reason was simply because he was wearing the Akatsuki uniform.
In Amegakure,
Pain and Konan were highly respected and loved by the civilians, revered as "God" and "Angel".
The owner of this restaurant happened to have been helped by the Angel Konan in the past.
Therefore, upon seeing Kyo enter wearing the same uniform, he immediately and very enthusiastically offered him a free meal.
Kyo naturally welcomed this.
After all, although freeloading is shameful, it is also human nature.
However,
Just as Kyo was halfway through his meal,
Suddenly,
He felt a strange movement coming from the ring on his finger.
Immediately after, a familiar voice directly sounded in Kyo's mind.
Kyo's heart stirred,
Because this voice was actually from the leader of Akatsuki, Pain!
At this moment, his voice was especially low and serious.
"Hey, Kyo."
"There is a special situation. Amegakure is being invaded by external enemies."
"My technique detected a total of twenty-one people in the southwest direction, probably trying to infiltrate under cover of night."
"Specific identities are unknown for now."
"I leave it to you."
"?"
With that, Pain directly cut off communication.
Kyo immediately raised an eyebrow.
'Huh?'
'What's going on?'
'Someone actually dares to invade Akatsuki's home base?'
