The eyeliner is hidden right under the eyelid, and nobody even notices. That's quite a skill.
Feipu sighed, "Today, seeing that Yamata was injured, they thought victory was assured."
"Actually, little did we know, I was also about to collapse. If we didn't retreat soon, we would all perish there. That's why our informants acted ahead of schedule."
"No one else knows about your trip to the Uchiha clan, right?"
Feipu asked a question, feigning nonchalance.
Qing patted his chest and assured him, "Don't worry, I went to the Uchiha clan without telling anyone."
"Even Chojuro, who was traveling with you, didn't know that you had any connection with the Uchiha."
"Only the Mizukage and I know about your connection with the Uchiha clan."
Feipu nodded in satisfaction: "Okay, don't gossip outside later, and remember to tell Zhaomei 15 Ming."
Qing nodded vigorously. Lord Feipu was really kind of him, telling him such important information.
"Don't worry, Lord Feipu, I will pretend I don't know anything and I will also inform Lord Mizukage."
"Then let's do it this way, let's go."
After saying that, Feipu led Qing outside.
Several people were still waiting outside, but Juzo Biwa and Zabuza looked somewhat uneasy.
Ao didn't beat around the bush and said directly, "Lord Mizukage is temporarily away, but he has already given instructions regarding your affairs."
"Lord Mizukage said that the things that happened in the Blood Mist Village in the past have nothing to do with you now. As long as you are willing to return to Kirigakure, the past will be wiped clean."
The weight lifted from the hearts of both Juzo Biwa and Zabuza.
"As for you, Shuiyue."
Shuiyue thought it had little to do with him, since he wasn't exactly a defector, at most he was missing.
The Hidden Mist Village was in complete chaos back then, and there were many missing persons like him.
"Come with me for a moment," Qing called out.
Shuiyue, not understanding why, followed him out.
Qing said to Shuiyue, "You may not know how your brother died. To tell you the truth, your brother was killed by Obito."
Shuiyue's face remained expressionless: "I understand."
Ao was taken aback for a moment, but didn't take it to heart: "Lord Mizukage still has quite a few secret manuals of the Hozuki clan."
"Now you are the only one left in the Hozuki clan. If you can return to Kirigakure, I can pass on these secret techniques to you."
Upon hearing this, Shuiyue glanced outside and saw Feipu standing there.
Feipu is clearly also a member of the Hozuki clan, but it seems that this identity has not been revealed.
Since the waterfall wasn't mentioned, he didn't bring it up either.
Suigetsu originally wanted to follow Zabuza, and for him, returning to Kirigakure was also a viable option.
Unexpectedly, there were additional benefits.
Shuiyue readily agreed.
Qing was also very satisfied.
Although Shuiyue originally wanted to return to Wuyin, in order to maintain a good relationship with Shuiyue, you have to give him what he needs.
Hozuki Mangetsu is a genius, and this is his younger brother.
He just glanced at me with a dirty look.
Judging from Suigetsu's chakra, Suigetsu's talent is also extremely high.
The Hidden Mist Village itself has a weak foundation, so a prodigy like Mizuki is naturally not to be let go.
.....
Outside, Feipu was pulling Kisame aside to chat.
"Knowing you haven't fought much in Otogakure, I specially invited you here to have some fun."
Kisame forced a smile through his teeth: "Our boss is so thoughtful, always thinking of me."
Feipu patted Kisame on the shoulder: "Kumakuya will only send some spies over there, you can have some fun."
"My shadow clones are prone to problems if maintained for too long, so I'll leave the task of contacting the Akatsuki to you."
"The leader of the Akatsuki is my partner, and he is extremely powerful."
"No matter what, you have to get the people from Mist Village to leave in time, or there will be an unexpected disaster."
Kisame raised an eyebrow: "The Akatsuki leader is that powerful?"
Feipu shook his head: "Don't even think about fighting him. His techniques are incredibly powerful. I'm telling you to stay away so you don't get hurt innocently."
Kisame thought for a moment and said, "Alright then."
Feipu saw that Kisame was a little disappointed, fearing that he might act impulsively and get attacked by a group of people, which would be too foolish.
He quickly changed the subject: "Have you and Kyoko ever thought about moving to the Uchiha area?"
Kisame scratched his head: "I don't care, as long as Kyoko is willing."
Konoha is indeed wealthy now, and the public security is very good.
In addition, the Uchiha commercial district saw a constant stream of caravans coming and going, making the entire Hidden Leaf Village increasingly prosperous.
Feipu patted him on the shoulder: "Go back and discuss it with Xingzi. She should be able to come back anytime."
Kisame agreed.
"Take this ring." Feipu took off the empty ring.
He also told Kisame how to use the ring, who his own people were, and how to pass information.
Everything is arranged.
"Then I'll go first."
With a "bang," the waterfall vanished into a cloud of smoke.
...
At the same time, Kawasaki, who had already brought Deidara ashore, suddenly felt a blackout, as if he had been hit on the head with a hammer.
A flood of memories rushed into Kawasaki's mind, giving him a splitting headache.
Kawasaki rubbed his head, sorting out Feipu's identity and his actions.
"Hey! Why did you stop? Hmm!" Deidara asked when he saw Kawasaki stop.
There was no clay left on his body, and his chakra was sealed away.
Therefore, the two were not moving very fast.
"It's okay, let's go."
Kawasaki sorted out his memories and continued on his way.
He's now taking Deidara across the Land of Fire to check on the Uchiha clan.
Deidara currently appears harmless...
Kawasaki noticed that Deidara had been secretly collecting various types of soil along the way, perhaps secretly mixing clay. Although Deidara was sealed and restricted, escape seemed unlikely. He occasionally glanced at Sasori's true form, seemingly planning to rescue him as well. As a key hostage, Deidara was to be exchanged for resources from Iwagakure, and Kawasaki personally escorted him to prevent his escape. Meanwhile, on the battlefield in the Land of Water, Killer Bee was severely injured, and even as a Jinchūriki, recovery would be difficult. How was Yugito's condition? If all went well...?
...
Within a massive magic circle, Hidan finally completed his prayer, and the black and white colors on his body returned to normal.
Kakuzu was already showing signs of impatience, after all, this place was not safe: "Is it alright? Can we set off now?"
Hidan struggled to his feet, drawing the long black spear from his chest: "Cough... Ouch..."
"The ritual is extremely sacred, and besides, only half of them were killed this time. It is already a great blessing that the evil god has not punished them."
Just as Kakuzu was about to speak, a lightning spear suddenly pierced through his body.
Kakuzu's expression hardened, and he collapsed to the ground with a thud.
"Kakuzu!" Hidan exclaimed in shock.
Who are you?!
Two masked and cloaked figures appeared ahead.
The lightning spear was made by one of them.
Yaoyue and Shisui lifted their cloaks and activated their Sharingan.
Yaoyue lunged at Hidan.
Hidan had no recollection of Yaoyue, but upon seeing the Sharingan, he was enraged: "Uchiha!"
Shisui then rushed towards Kakuzu and slashed at the seemingly dead Kakuzu with his sword.
Kakuzu's feigned death failed, and he hurriedly opened his eyes to dodge.
He dodged the blow.
Upon hearing Hidan's voice, Kakuzu knew that his enemy was the Uchiha.
He dared not look at the other person's face, for fear of being silently controlled by the illusion.
A wound, caused by a lightning spear piercing through the earth, shot out from Kakuzu's body.
Kakuzu formed hand seals, and the lightning-type Earthly Resentment surged from within his body.
Lying on the ground, Kakuzu locked onto Shisui and activated a lightning-attribute ninjutsu.
A flash of light appeared on the other side, as if someone intended to use their sword to block the lightning attack.
"Thunder Escape, Pseudo Darkness!"
A flash of lightning, and the opponent suddenly vanished.
Illusion!?
when!
