Chapter 258: 258
Chapter 258: 258
In the anime.
After the Third Ninja World War, Kumogakure, under the guise of signing a peace contract with Konoha, sent messenger to Konoha in an attempt to kidnap Hinata Hyuga, the little princess of the clan of the Hyuga clan. But he was killed on the spot.
After the Kumo executives learned of this, they immediately became furious at Konoha and demanded that Konoha hand over the body of Hyuga's patriarch, Hyuga Hiashi, or else they would reignite the war and attack Konoha.
It has to be said that Kumogakure's slapstick behavior is extremely shameless and ridiculous.
But everyone was surprised by what happened later, because in face of Kumogakure's unreasonable demands, the victor of the third ninja war, the top elders of Konoha not only did not respond strongly, but made a compromise: they forced Hyuga Hiashi's twin brother Hyuga Hizashi to commit suicide, used the latter's body to pretend it to be Hyuga Hiashi, and handed it over to Kumogakure, trying to calm things down.
This incident is enough to show Konoha's weakness and incompetence at that time.
Therefore, on a whim, Kisame intends to re-enact this history. He really wanted to know whether Konoha, now under Namikaze Minato, was still as cruel and persecute all of it's genius ninjas as in the anime, but kept shrinking and enduring towards outsiders.
In addition, Kisame is also more interested in Hinata, because her Byakugan are extremely pure, and after merging with the chakra of the Otsutsuki clan, there is a high probability that it can evolve into Tenseigan.
It would be a pity for such a good seedling to stay in the Hyuga clan to waste her talents. It would be better for her to join Kisame and let him teach her personally.
However, before sending the messenger to Konoha, Kisame has to deal with some other things first.
He counted the spoils this time, and swallowed Bashsen, Kkinj, Shichiseiken, and Benihisago, into his body, thus gaining their abilities.
Bashsen can perform ninjutsu with five different properties of water, fire, wind, lightning and earth, this enriched Kisame's means to fighting his enemy. The Kkinj set gave him the ability to seal other people. As long as he touched the other person's body, he could force the other person to say the mantra and seal it instantly.
Then, Kisame came to the unconscious Uchiha Itachi, stretched out his hand, patted the latter's face, and tested the newly acquired ability on the spot.
"Sasuke..."
Itachi slowly opened his eyes and called out his brother's name subconsciously. It seemed that this was his word spirit.
Kisame was not surprised by this, but felt in his heart that there was no cure for this.
As soon as Itachi woke up from the coma, he saw the God's condescending gaze. His eyes were calm and indifferent, like looking at a trivial little ant.
"Sharingan? It seems that you, like the Gold and Silver brothers, are also descendants of the Sage of Six Paths."
Kisame looked down at Itachi, looking at the latter's Sharingan, and suddenly said, "However, your Sharingan has not evolved to the point of a Mangekyo, let alone Rinnegan."
"..." Itachi hearing that couldn't help but look shocked, he is dumbfounded and didn't know how to respond.
Itachi learned about the information about the Mangekyo and Rinnegan from his father. He didn't expect the God of Thunder and Lightning, like the Gold and Silver brothers, to see through the secret of his bloodline at a glance.
Young Itachi was convinced of the God's claim that he knew the Sage of Six Paths.
"Little kid, you must be wondering how to get Mangekyo, right? I can give you some hints."
After seeing Itachi's eyes, Kisame seemed to be very interested in the young man, and he said more, "In those days, Hagoromo's younger brother was killed by his mother. Then his Sharingan mutated on the spot and turned into Mangekyo Sharingan. So, if you want to turn on the Mangekyo Sharingan, you have to be like the Sage of Six Paths and see the death of a cherished family member or companion with your own eyes. What a pair of cursed eyes."
Hearing that, Itachi's pupils widened and he became more and more shocked.
The method of awakening the Mangekyo Sharingan, which the Uchiha Clan has been seeking so hard, turned out to be this terrific.
But at the same time, Itachi was deeply puzzled, why did the God tell him this. Could it be that the other party hopes that he can awaken the Mangekyo Sharingan?
"Little kid, don't be afraid, I won't embarrass you."
Kisame said to Itachi, turned and sat back in the chair, pressed the button on the desk, that notified Samui and Mabui to come to the office.
"Take him down, arrange a place to live, and send him back to Konoha in a few days." He pointed to Uchiha Itachi and instructed Mabui.
"Yes, Kami-sama."
Mabui said respectfully, without any doubt about the order, and took Itachi out of the office.
"You heard Kami-sama's words, as long as you don't cause trouble, you can return to Konoha safely. I won't put you in shackles, and I hope you don't think yourself smart. If you escape from here, your nature will change. Do you understand?"
In the corridor, Mabui warned Uchiha Itachi.
Itachi hearing that, nodded, and said obediently: "I will obey all arrangements."
In the office.
"Take me around, I want to know the specific layout of Kumogakure." Kisame said as he stood up.
"Yes. Kami-sama, please come with me." Samui bowed slightly, and then acted as the guide to Kisame, and took him out of the Raikage Building and walked around the village.
After half an hour.
'Rumble.'
A heavy door was slowly opened in front of Kisame as he walked into the secret warehouse of Kumogakure, where he discovered the ultimate weapon of Kumogakure- the chakra energy cannon.
This huge cannon looks very similar to the anti-aircraft cannon. The huge black barrel is connected to the rear console. This giant cannon does not have physical shells, but a large number of pipelines are set on both sides of the cannon, which are used to connect hundreds of ninjas, and form energy shells by extracting their chakra.
After the cannon is fully charged, it will show a very terrifying power. When it is launched, a golden chakra beam will shoot straight into the sky. After hitting the main target, it will spread out and continue to attack the surrounding small targets.
In the anime, Kumogakure relied on this giant cannon to successfully prevent waves of meteorites from hitting the earth.
With enough chakra, it can even blast away the moon.
"You go to work first."
Kisame sent Samui away, and after she left, he directly put the chakra cannon into the Box of Ultimate Bliss. He intends to bring it back to Kirigakure, or arrange it on the moon to guard against the Otsutsuki clan in outer space.
In the next few days, with the assistance of two secretaries, Kisame, as the fifth Raikage, carried out some rectification and governance of Kumogakure.
In this process, he did not encounter any resistance, because the image of his invincibility has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and has become the belief in the hearts of Kumogakure ninjas and even the people of the Land of Lightning.
At the same time, several other major Shinobi villages also reacted to the news of the God of Thunder and Lightning, who appeared out of nowhere.
Iwagakure.
"Kami? Where did this guy come from?"
The Fourth Tsuchikage put down the information scroll in his hand and rubbed his forehead, feeling a headache.
Judging from the description of the intelligence, this God easily defeated the Gold and Silver brothers who were resurrected by Impure Reincarnation. Even if he is not a real God, his strength can be said to be unfathomable, stronger than all the Raikages of the past.
Now, Kirigakure has Tsunade, the Goddess of ninjas, Konoha has the legendary yellow flash Minato and his son known as the Son of Prophecy, Amegakure has the Sage Nagato, and Kumogakure has God of Thunder and Lightning... In contrast, Iwakagure, which is also one of the Five Great Ninja Villages, has only one mediocre kage.
Fortunately, the fourth Tsuchikage is a self-aware person.
He knew that he was far from being on a par with the leaders of other Shinobi villages, so he raised his head and looked at the ceiling, sighed, and decided to just guard Iwakagure in the future, live his life honestly, and stop delusional thoughts of dominating the ninja world.
Ordinary people should not be involved in the fight between gods and demons, or they will not know when they died.
"Dad, why are you frowning? Have you encountered any troubles?" Kurotsuchi jumped in from the door and asked curiously.
"It's nothing, my good daughter." He showed a smile, touched his daughter's head, and secretly made up his mind to train her into a great ninja.
Konoha, Hokage Office.
Uchiha Shisui looked respectful, and reported the things his team saw and encountered in Kumogakure to Minato.
"Okay, you've worked hard, go back to rest first."
Minato pondered for a moment, then waved his hand to signal Shisui to step back first. When there was no one in the office, he said, "Jiraiya-sensei, Sarutobi-sama, what do you think?"
As soon as he said that, Jiraiya and Sarutobi Hiruzen, who were wearing Anbu masks, walked out from behind the screen on the side. They are Minato's subordinates in name, but in fact they still play the role of his teachers and aides, advising Minato on matters big and small.
"The current information is insufficient, and it is impossible to judge the true strength of this God. It's better for me to go to Kumogakure in person and find out the details." Jiraiya thought about it for a while and offered.
As soon as he finished speaking, Sarutobi Hiruzen frowned and said:
"Jiraiya, don't be impulsive. We don't know the enemy's temperament and intentions, if you accidentally expose yourself and anger the other party, it may make Konoha passive."
"Then, according to your opinion, teacher, what should we do now?" Jiraiya asked back.
Just then, there was the sound of hurried footsteps in the corridor outside. Immediately afterwards, a figure broke into the office and interrupted their meeting.
It's Uchiha Fugaku.
He is not only the patriarch of the Uchiha clan, but also a member of the Konoha elders group appointed by Jiraiya, and also the father of Uchiha Itachi.
Therefore, when he learned that his precious son had fallen into the enemy's hands and was unfortunately taken as a hostage in Kumogakure, he immediately came straight to Hokage's office to make a request to Minato Namikaze to rescue Itachi.
"Patriarch Fugaku, please be patient, I can understand your anxiety."
Namikaze Minato looked at Fugaku and promised the latter in a sincere tone, "I have sent a message to Kumogakure as Hokage, requesting a dialogue with their Kage, and urged the other party to return Uchiha Itachi. In the meantime, I hope you can be patient."
"...Three days."
Fuyue was silent for a moment, stared coldly at Minato Namikaze, said a number, and added, "After three days, if there is still no definite news, the Uchiha clan will take separate actions to rescue Itachi at all costs regardless of the consequences."
After speaking, he suppressed his anger and slammed out the door.
"Ugh."
After Fugaku left, Hiruzen Sarutobi sighed and suggested to Minato, "Minato, just do what you said. I hope Kumogakure will respond and reply as soon as possible."
"Well, I hope so." Minato noded his head, his expression solemn, but he doesn't actually have much confidence.
If it really doesn't work at that time, he can only go out and use the Flying Thunder God Jutsu to rescue Uchiha Itachi from Kumogakure.
At the same time, Kirigakure.
After Mangetsu and Ringo fled back to the village, they too reported to Tsunade what they saw in Kumogakure. However, Mangetsu concealed the news about the missing Samaheda with a guilty face, for fear of being accused by Tsunade.
After all, that sword was the weapon used by Kisame.
Tsunade frowned slightly after listening to the report of the two, and asked the two for some details, she gradually revealed a strange look, and fell into contemplation.
"Kisame, do you think... it's that guy?" she asked Katsuyu in her heart.
"It does sound like Kisame-sama's behavior." Katsuyu giggled as she said.
"I was thinking where did he suddenly run to? It turned out that he went to Kumogakure and now it really belongs to him."
Tsunade muttered to herself and snorted coldly.
"Tsunade-sama, what did you say? Do you... know that God?" Both Mangetsu and Ringo heard Tsunade's monologue, and they could not help but ask carefully with surprise on their faces.
"Uh"
Tsunade came back to her senses and waved to the two of them, "It's nothing, you don't need to worry about this matter. I will personally go to Kumogakure to meet this God."
As soon as she finished speaking, she stood up, strode out of the office, and walked away.
Leaving Mangetsu and Ringo look at each other.
'Tsunade-sama is really resolute.'
"I got tired of staying in the village, so it's good to find a chance to go out for a walk." Tsunade touched het chin and muttered to herself after walking out of the Mizukage Building. .
After one day.
Tsunade crossed the mountains, flew over the sea of clouds, and finally came to the sky above Kumogakure, and then quickly descended like a meteor, on the open space in front of the Raikage Building.
'Boom!'
When she landed, she didn't control her strength, and smashed a big hole on the ground, causing a loud noise and shaking of the ground, causing many Kumo ninjas to rush over with a look of surprise.
"Enemy invasion!"
Dozens of dark-skinned muscular ninjas immediately surrounded Tsunade.
