In the Land of Water, the moonlight appeared particularly hazy amidst the thick fog.
Inside Kirigakure, the deep night caused all shops to close early, and the streetlights had quietly shut off.
A faint breeze rustled through the village, and everything was exceptionally quiet.
Whoosh... Whoosh... Whoosh—
But just then, shadows suddenly appeared on the previously silent streets.
These shadows moved silently through the thick fog like ghosts, their destination being the Mizukage Building.
Whoosh—
Before long, alarms suddenly blared throughout Kirigakure. This alarm, piercing the peaceful night, seed to be the beginning of chaos.
"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"
"They've rebelled, protect the Mizukage!"
"Idiot, the Mizukage is the bane of Kirigakure!"
At this mont, roars and curses, along with the booming of explosive tags and Ninjutsu, intertwined with the sharp, piercing alarm within Kirigakure.
"This is truly terrifying…"
Jiraiya, hidden in the shadows, watched the frenzied Kirigakure and gulped.
He already knew that Kirigakure was on the verge of eruption, so he wasn't surprised by this developnt, but the brutality before him left him speechless.
He had seen war, but this was his first ti witnessing such chaos erupting within a village.
Not only him, but even Kakashi, who had once been forced into an 'assassination of the Hokage' plot, was seeing a scene like this for the first ti.
These Kirigakure Ninja seed to have gone mad, completely disregarding their forr comrades.
Moreover, the scale of the battle at this mont was no less than that of a war.
"Hmph, if they had been like this back then, why would I be in this situation now?"
Zabuza's gaze was sowhat dazed. He had personally launched a rebellion, only to end in failure.
Everything before him was a scene he had once fantasized about.
However, he quickly ca to his senses. The 'excitent' belonged to others, he had nothing. Moreover, his life was still in soone else's hands.
"What exactly do you want to do?"
Zabuza looked up at Jiraiya and the others, asking in a deep voice.
"You wanted to bring you into the Land of Water, and I did."
"You wanted to bring you into Kirigakure, and I completed that too. So now what?"
"Even if you're going to kill according to the rules, please make it quick."
"I don't want to die, but I am not afraid of death. At least, seeing this situation, I am satisfied!"
Haku also looked up at this mont, his eyes filled with worry and vigilance.
Although these Konoha Ninja hadn't done anything to them along the way, he had, after all, served in the Anbu, so he naturally knew so of their thods.
"Takemi, can you pinpoint the location of the mark now?"
Jiraiya ignored the two of them. He turned to Takemi and asked softly. Kakashi also leaned in.
"Yes."
Takemi nodded, pointing a finger forward.
"Before, it was too far, and I could only vaguely sense it, but now I can confirm its location. It's over there."
"There?"
Kakashi looked in the direction Takemi was pointing, then turned his head to Zabuza.
"What is that place?"
"Hmph."
Zabuza snorted, but he also looked over.
He frowned slightly but quickly sneered again, "There? That's an Anbu base. If I'm not mistaken, its owner is that fat old man, Suikazan Fuguki."
Suikazan Fuguki?
Takemi suddenly thought of sothing, imdiately turning his gaze to Zabuza. For so reason, this gaze made Zabuza shiver.
.....
"Only you, who perford so many dirty missions for the village and were finally betrayed, truly know that the world is nothing but a falsehood."
The battle within Kirigakure had fully erupted, and in this Anbu underground base, Kisa had already killed Fuguki. But when he tried to leave, he was stopped by the Fourth Mizukage.
He had expected another tough battle, but unexpectedly, the Fourth Mizukage seed to agree with his actions, and the Mizukage's words moved him.
"I realized that when I killed my comrades." Kisa spoke in a low voice, his eyes tinged with blood.
"I myself am a Kirigakure ninja, yet I killedl fellow Kirigakure ninjas, what kind of person am I? Friend or foe? What is my purpose? Where do I stand?"
"Where am I going? Where can I find peace? The only thing I truly experience is my own falsehood!"
"Then let help you break free from the pain of falsehood. I will build a place for you to belong."
Just then, a voice ca from behind the Fourth Mizukage, a voice completely different from the Fourth Mizukage's.
"Who are you?"
Kisa's expression changed, and he imdiately placed his hand on the Sahada behind him.
"Starting with this country."
A dark figure slowly erged from behind the Fourth Mizukage. The shadows obscured his face, making him montarily unidentifiable, and he paid no attention to Kisa's movents.
"You have always fought for killing your comrades. Let everything start from here."
"Starting from here…"
Kisa's gaze was sowhat strange, but his heart was indeed moved. He knew that the village was turbulent, which was why he had chosen to act at this ti.
Could it be that all of this was planned?
However, Kisa quickly refocused his attention on the mysterious person before him, asking intently, "You seem to trust greatly, but I don't even know who you are."
The mysterious person did not speak. He rely opened his eyes slightly, their crimson color strikingly conspicuous in the shadows.
"Eyes shining in the darkness…"
At this mont, Kisa seed to understand sothing.
"So that's it, the person I always thought was the Fourth Mizukage was actually you. I can't believe you've been controlling the Fourth Mizukage with your Sharingan all this ti…"
At this point, Kisa suddenly laughed.
"This world is indeed false. With that eye that can control the Fourth Mizukage, the Three-Tails Jinchuriki, you are an Uchiha…"
Bang—
However, before Kisa could finish speaking, a nearby wall was suddenly smashed open with a heavy blow.
Imdiately after, three figures quickly rushed in through the broken wall. They quickly scanned the people inside, finally settling their gaze on the person in the shadows.
"We finally found you, Obito!"
"…"
Kisa blinked. Obito?
Who is this guy?
Isn't this Uchiha Madara?
And Obito's face flushed slightly, he had clearly seen who the newcors were.
Jiraiya, that damned brat from last ti, and…
"Kakashi!"
He just couldn't understand why these guys would show up at this mont, why they had to interrupt him precisely now?
He felt as if his luck had started to worsen ever since he had t that brat.
"Obito…"
Kakashi's gaze remained fixed on Obito. After a long mont, he spoke in a low voice, "Is it really you?"
"…"
Obito was sowhat silent. He really wanted to curse right now, but the words changed as they reached his lips, "Kakashi, you're still as useless as ever. Truly disappointing."
"Why…"
Kakashi took a deep breath, staring at Obito.
"Since you didn't die, why didn't you return to the village? Why did you beco like this? You…"
"Does any of that matter?"
Obito spread his hands, speaking indifferently, "Besides, if you insist on a reason, is Rin's death enough?"
That single sentence made Kakashi's breathing turn heavy.
Kisa watched everything with alertness and curiosity, Jiraiya sighed inwardly, and only Takemi's gaze fell upon the Fourth Mizukage, who was like a puppet.
He felt a similar sensation and reaction from the Mizukage as he did when he encountered Naruto.
"Is it Three-Tails' Chakra…"
