Having been seen through by Juzo, Shinichi sighed, he knows that although Juzo tries to be an indifferent and cruel person from the outside, in reality, Juzo is quite the opposite, for this reason, Shinichi has always teased Juzo saying that he is nothing like a brutal or ruthless person as most of the missing-nin.
Therefore, Shinichi also understands that this ti Juzo reprimanded him, it is purely out of goodwill, as such decided to put away his lazy look for a while and take this mission seriously, "Okay-okay, I will complete this mission earnestly!"
Seeing that Shinichi finally decided to be sowhat serious, Juzo stopped talking nonsense and asked directly, "So, what's the plan?"
While observing his surroundings carefully with his Mangekyou Sharingan, Shinichi said, "Let's try going with Plan-33A, we ca up with it a few days ago, it should work perfectly in this situation!"
Juzo nodded in agreent.
While the two were busy planning their next move, the Swift Release user saw this as an opportunity, and imdiately went for an attack, using the fastest speed he could reach, he rushed towards Biwa Juzo and stab through his throat fiercely.
Almost at the sa instant, Shinichi who was already prepared completed the hand signs and shouted, 'Fire Release: Fireball Jutsu'
Prompted by his Chakra, a billowing hot stream of fire gushed out of Shinichi's mouth and rushed towards the incoming enemy.
The Swift Release user didn't expect Shinichi to suddenly use Fire Release Jutsu at such a perfect opportunity, and he knew that if he insisted on continuing the attack towards Juzo then he would be burned to crisp.
So, he imdiately changed his movent trajectory to the right and dodged the incoming fire.
Suddenly, Juzo who was standing near Shinichi turned into water, and at the sa ti, another Juzo appeared on a tree opposite the fire and shouted, 'Water Release: Great Waterfall Jutsu!'
The huge streams of water and fire collided together, and in an instant, the entire forest was covered in mist.
Juzo continued to print the head seals, and shouted 'Ninja Art: Hiding in the Mist Jutsu!'
Instantly, the preexisting mist grew thicker blocking all the visual acuity.
But there lied the advantage, they have already confird that the Swift release user is not a sensor-nin, as such he will no longer be able to discern the direction he will be going, nor will he be able to locate his targets.
While Shinichi can see through the cover of mist with his Mangekyou Sharingan.
Although Juzo will have so trouble normally, he will still be able to discern the directions the enemy is moving in thanks to the chakra disruption in the mist giving feedback to Juzo.
Moreover, Juzo can also use Silent Killing, so there will be no sound from his movents.
Overall, this situation will be a complete advantage for Shinichi and Juzo's duo.
And the Swift release user seems to have realized that he was in a tough spot for now and tried to escape out of the forest.
Wherever he moved, he left behind a trail, which was easily noticed by Shinichi, and easily sensed by Juzo.
The mont Shinichi captured the enemy's movent trajectory, he suddenly flickered from his position and appeared at the spot where the enemy will be appearing in a second.
The Swift Release user had to attempt a change of direction at this instant, but the mont he tried to turn away, a silent sword cut through the cover of mist and arrived towards him.
The Swift Release user had to imdiately use the sword in his hand to block that attack, but that short mont of pause was more than enough of an opportunity Shinichi needed to disrupt his chakra flow, successfully putting him in a Genjutsu with re eye contact.
As soon as the enemy showed a montary sluggishness, Juzo successfully knocked him out, and imdiately injected the special drug inside the body of the captive, this drug would put him in an unconscious state until its antidote is injected into his body.
After confirming that the captive was in an unconscious state, Juzo sighed in relief and said to Shinichi, "Mangekyou Sharingan's Genjutsu is really useful in such battles!"
Shinichi didn't care, Mangekyou Sharingan is nothing more than a tool for him now, and he really doesn't care anymore, so long as it keeps working then that's all that matters.
"Now that he has been captured, let's return to the Land of Rain and deliver this guy to Hiruko for whatever reason he needs him for!"
Juzo nodded and after tying the captive limbs with chakra sealing tags, he passed him over to Shinichi, who held him over his shoulder and both started moving towards the Land of Rain.
…
Sowhere around the border of the Land of Fire and the Land of Hot Water.
A spiraling whirl suddenly appeared in the void and out ca a masked-man wearing a black cloak over his body.
After taking a casual look around him, he jumped over a tree, as if waiting for sothing.
At this ti, Zetsu's body rose up from the tree bark and inford the masked-man, "Our spy in Kumogakure has given information and confird the location where the 2nd Gokage Summit is going to be held, the Kage's have agreed to assemble at the Hozuki Castle in the Land of Grass!"
The masked-man was surprised, "Hozuki Castle? Why there?"
Zetsu said, "None of the five great shinobi villages trust each other, and they have been at a stalemate with each other, so finally they decided to et at Hozuki Castle, which is located at a fair amount of distance from all five of the villages."
The masked-man nodded and asked again after thinking a little, "Have you confird Kumogakure's candidates who will be attending the eting?"
Zetsu nodded, "From Kumogakure, Raikage will obviously be attending the Summit, but because Amatsukami's targets are the nine Bijuu, so he has decided to not take either of the Jinchuriki with him, as such two Jonin will be following him, one is the shinobi who was the vice-captain of the peace delegation that went to Konoha, while the other one is a user of Storm Release Kekkei Genkai."
As soon as he heard this, the masked-man smiled, "Very good!"
One of the Kekkei Genkai that Hiruko needs for his ritual is Storm Release, although there are many users of Strom Release, most of them are concentrated in Kumogakure.
As such, if Akatsuki plans to catch a Storm Release user, then they will have to attack Kumogakure, although there is no problem with it, it is still hassling.
And now that the masked-man has the information that a Storm Release user will be going to the Hozuki Castle as the Raikage's guard, so it is obviously best to capture him, this will be much easier than sneaking into Kumogakure and fighting and whatnot…
Not letting this opportunity go away, masked-man took out two black-cloaks with so golden pattern sewn on them, wore one of them upon him, and passed over the other to Zetsu, "Put on this Cloak and cover your face with those leaves, after you are ready, you will be the bait and lead the Raikage away from his two guards."
Zetsu who received the Black-Cloak from the masked-man observed it for a while, he was able to notice that this cloak was very similar to the disguising cloak that the mbers of Amatsukami wear, as such Zetsu can't help but be surprised, "You want us to pretend to be mbers of Amatsukami, so as to put the bla of the missing ninja upon Amatsukami's head?"
The masked man nodded.
Since now he has been unable to find any useful information about Amatsukami, therefore, he has to be extrely vigilant when dealing with them.
Initially, he did not care too much about Amatsukami's goals as long as they don't interfere with his Project Tsuki no , but now that Amatsukami has officially declared that they will start targeting the nine Bijuu, so masked-man can no longer ignore their presence.
At this mont Akatsuki has not started to collect the Bijuu and is still in the initial phase of gathering excellent shinobi under their command who can contend with Bijuu, so the masked man is unwilling to fight Amatsukami head-on for now, but at the sa ti, he can no longer sit back and watch Amatsukami growing stronger!
Therefore, this 2nd Gokage Summit is another opportunity for him to indirectly target Amatsukami! When the bla of the missing shinobi from all the villages is put on Amatsukami, then Amatsukami would have made an enemy out of all the shinobi villages, and all of them will unanimously point their fingers and weapons towards Amatsukami and do all they can to eradicate this organization.
And when that happens, Amatsukami's threat will either be completely eliminated or will be lowered down so that the masked-man will no longer have to worry about them.
A such putting the bla on Amatsukami's head is extrely necessary for the Kage's to direct their fingers towards Amatsukami, and using this disguise is the best option to achieve that objective.
Zetsu understood the masked man's approach and complied.
With both of them disguised as the mber of Amatsukami, Zetsu led them towards their goal and the two soon discovered Raikage and his two guards rushing towards the Land of grass for the Gokage Summit.
Looking at the Raikage and his entourage moving towards the Land of Grass, masked-man signaled Zetsu, "Go!"
Zetsu who was dressed as an unknown mber of Amatsukami retracted into the ground.
…
P.O.V. Change.
Yondai Raikage and his two guards were moving towards the Land of Grass.
Then suddenly one of his subordinates stopped and whispered while pointing in a certain direction, "Raikage-sama, look there… from the type of clothes he is wearing he seems to be a mber of Amatsukami going sowhere."
Ay narrowed his eyes as soon as he heard those words and looking in that direction, he was indeed surprised because from the disguise which included the black cloak printed with so strange golden pattern and that green leafy structure over his head, whether he is a person or plant? Whichever he may be, but he seems to be a mber of Amatsukami!
What's more, that person doesn't seem to have noticed these three as if he was busy in so thoughts.
Rai (the Storm Release user) said, "Do you think he is a mber of Amatsukami?"
Blue Lightning started to flicker around the Raikage as he said, "We will find out when I break his hands and legs!"
Whoosh…
Leaving that sentence he suddenly disappeared from his position and ran in the direction of the suspected Amatsukami mber.
The suspected mber of Amatsukami suddenly noticed sothing coming towards him and, and his expression shrank, and he fled into the distance imdiately using his unique technique.
The Raikage who was coming towards the suspected mber of Amatsukami narrowed his eyes, he imdiately understood that the person is indeed a mber of Amatsukami, as such he must not be allowed to escape, so he urged the Lightning Chakra around him more violently increasing his speed several tis and shouted, "You bastard, don't think that you will manage to get away this ti!"
Seeing that Raikage-sama disappearing so fast, Rai shouted hurriedly, "Raikage-sama, please wait, it could be a trap!"
However, before, Rai's voice could reach Raikage, he has already disappeared.
Now Rai and the other Jonin looked at each other.
The other Jonin asked with a frown, "What to do now?"
Rai sighed and spoke with a helpless expression, "What else can we do? Follow them of course! I am afraid that it could be a trap designed by Amatsukami to attack Raikage-sama!"
Just as he spoke, a spiraling whirl appeared behind the two of them, before the two of them could notice the sudden appearance of spiraling whirl, a hand stretched out of it, held Rai by the neck and dragged him inside the spiraling whirl!
