Living Room.
Gengetsu Hōzuki sat on the sofa, his brows furrowed.
For others, they might not understand what Rinjin was saying, thinking that language is of no use compared to chakra.
But he's different!
He is the Second Mizukage, the Second!
In the Five Great Nations, which village's Second isn't a prodigy?
The Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju, developed numerous forbidden techniques, impacting the future of the entire ninja world in unimaginable ways.
Whether this impact was good or bad, he ultimately made an impact.
The Second Tsuchikage, Mū, known as the "Strategist" for his schemes and politics, developed the Dust Release, which surpasses the Kekkei Genkai;
He is also one of the few ninjas in the Five Great Nations who can fly.
The Second Kazekage, Shamon, not well-known, yet he is the progenitor of puppet techniques and sand manipulation skills, bringing profound influence to the future of Sunagakure.
These Second Kages, more or less, created and developed many forbidden techniques and ninjutsu, arguably the most creative generation of Kages, and the ones who researched various powers the most.
As the Second Mizukage, Gengetsu Hōzuki was no less than them.
Language is power.
Frankly speaking, Gengetsu Hōzuki agrees with this view.
I have to say, this guy named Obito... no! This kid is more cunning than frozen tofu, his real name might not even be Obito!
This guy is a master at understanding people's hearts!
In Gengetsu Hōzuki's mind, the image of his partner gradually became fuller.
Name: Obito (suspected alias)
Strength: Uh... about the same as mine, skilled in space-time ninjutsu and taijutsu;
Strategy: Uh... about the same as mine, just a tad better than me.
Personality: Super insidious, a thousand times more shameless than me, ten thousand times more unruly than me!
Overall Evaluation: Can cooperate, but must be fully prepared to outsmart him.
Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, three months had passed.
During these three months, Rinjin and Gengetsu Hōzuki tirelessly completed various tasks, accumulating merits.
Finally, with the help of Gengetsu Hōzuki and Yuan Shi behind the scenes, Rinjin successfully moved from being an ordinary ANBU to the Intelligence Division.
This was also Rinjin's own request.
The Intelligence Division is the organization most likely to know the secrets of Kirigakure, and also the department most likely to come into contact with the Third Mizukage.
Just as Rinjin was secretly maneuvering, preparing to climb step by step.
Far to the north of the Land of Iron, in the Mountain Graveyard;
Madara Uchiha sat on a stone chair, listening to reports from White Zetsu and Black Zetsu.
At this time, Madara Uchiha's full head of black hair had turned mostly white, and his face was full of wrinkles.
Behind him stood the massive Gedo Statue, with gnarled roots hanging numerous pure white bodies.
These were all White Zetsus cultivated by Madara through the Gedo Statue.
"Have you found the Uzumaki clan members?"
"Yes!" White Zetsu exclaimed excitedly, "Lord Madara, those taken Uzumaki clan members have all been transferred to Amegakure in the Land of Rain."
Upon hearing this, Madara Uchiha frowned.
Amegakure!
Hanzo of the Salamander!
This trash dares to meddle in my affairs, courting death!
Thinking of this, Madara Uchiha temporarily suppressed the anger in his heart and asked in a deep voice:
"What about Nagato? Is he arranged?"
Hearing this, Black Zetsu controlled the body, nodded, and calmly said:
"Lord Madara, according to your instructions, he has been arranged in the Land of Grass."
After speaking, Black Zetsu continued to add:
"We also have some leads on the Second Mizukage, Gengetsu Hōzuki, whom you asked us to investigate.
In the Hōzuki clan's cemetery, Gengetsu Hōzuki's body has disappeared;
Moreover, Gengetsu Hōzuki's Edo Tensei form has always been with a man named Kisame Hoshigaki in Kirigakure.
This Kisame Hoshigaki is a member of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, the wielder of the Great Sword Samehada."
"No close observation?" Madara Uchiha asked coldly.
Hearing this, Black Zetsu shook his head.
"Lord Madara, Gengetsu Hōzuki's Edo Tensei form has a powerful sensing ability, if we get too close, we'll be detected."
What they didn't know was that this sensing ability did not come from Gengetsu Hōzuki, but from Rinjin in Sage Mode.
After sensing the chakra of Black and White Zetsu, Rinjin used Edo Tensei to relay the information to Gengetsu Hōzuki.
At this moment, Madara slowly spoke.
"Just keep monitoring Amegakure and that pufferfish;
The most important thing right now is Nagato, he must be strictly monitored until he can withstand the power of the Rinnegan."
Hearing this, Black and White Zetsu nodded heavily.
Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, more than two years passed.
In Konoha Year 32, aside from Kirigakure, the remaining hidden villages of the Four Great Nations began to make more small moves.
Kumogakure, being powerful, is no longer satisfied with being confined to one corner.
Sunagakure, with the river running through the desert, has seen significant economic development, which has led to greed, a greed for the Land of Fire.
Iwagakure, unlucky from start to finish, has accumulated a bellyful of resentment, ready to fish in troubled waters as soon as war breaks out.
As for Konoha, located centrally, it is not yet strong enough to contend with the alliance of the Three Great Nations, so it can only desperately accumulate strength.
...
In Konoha Village, at noon, warm sunlight bathed the earth, and vibrant greenery was everywhere.
Under this sunlight, hidden in the darkness of the Root organization, Danzo Shimura sat with eyes closed, feeling something carefully.
This was a room filled with various sophisticated instruments, with lab technicians in white coats coming and going.
In glass containers as tall as two people, children with eyes closed and faces full of pain were inside.
At this moment, Danzo, standing quietly aside, suddenly opened his eyes, his right eye blood-red, with three tomoe spinning continuously, and black lines writhing around his eyes, looking particularly frightening.
Feeling the completely different visual experience, Danzo's mouth slowly curled into a sinister smile.
The experiment was a success.
The power of the Uchiha!
It turns out, to control the Sharingan of the Uchiha clan, the heart is not the most crucial, the most crucial is their brain.
The chakra supplied by the heart cannot control the Sharingan well, only the special chakra produced in the Uchiha clan's brain is the key.
And all of this stems from Danzo's tireless experiments.
Thinking about it, Danzo took out a roll of white bandages and wrapped his right eye.
In the past, a three-tomoe Sharingan would have been enough to make Danzo happy for a long time.
But now, his greed has grown even bigger.
He wants Kagami's eyes.
And now is the time to get those eyes.
At present, all countries are making some small moves, and border friction is increasing.
According to the analysis of the higher-ups, war is coming.
Because of this, that guy Hiruzen Sarutobi, has swept away his previous lukewarmness and pushed the village's blood production speed to the limit.
For example, training talents in peaceful times in Konoha is like an old man riding a tricycle;
But now, the speed of training talents in Konoha is like a ghost fire boy.
In the past, ninja school students who normally graduated in six years now graduate in four, three years, everywhere.
