Chapter 45: You Don't Want Me to Have It, Do You?

"What is this thing?"

Hidan looked at the black hole in front of him in surprise, reaching out and finding that he could pass through it.

But his hand didn't appear on the other side, and his little brain couldn't comprehend it.

"Get in there."

Raijin didn't waste any time and kicked Hidan directly.

Hidan plunged headfirst into the Kamui dimension.

He vanished without a trace in an instant.

Zabuza couldn't even sense where Hidan's chakra had gone.

Zabuza's heart skipped a beat, and alarm bells went off in his head.

His hand unconsciously gripped the long sword behind him, and he instinctively stood in front of Haku.

"Do you want to fight me?"

Raijin looked at Zabuza coldly.

He knew that Zabuza had always been two-faced.

But once they were in the One Piece world, even if Zabuza had ulterior motives,

he would have to obediently submit and become Raijin's blade.

That wasn't the ninja world, and there was no village for him to yearn for there.

That's why Raijin felt confident in using Zabuza.

But!

Now Zabuza dared to raise his sword against him.

Raijin even had the urge to kill Zabuza.

"... I wouldn't dare!"

After careful consideration, Zabuza finally lowered his weapon.

He stood obediently in front of Raijin.

If Raijin wanted to attack him,

he could have already taken both his and Haku's lives.

So this probably wasn't a ploy against him.

"I didn't think you had the guts!"

Raijin pointed to the Kamui dimension, signaling Haku and Zabuza to enter.

Zabuza stopped Haku and walked towards the Kamui dimension first.

He planned to check it out first and let Haku in if there were no problems.

But Zabuza misjudged Haku. The moment he stepped in, Haku followed right behind.

Raijin watched as the three entered the Kamui dimension, their figures distorting in the void.

The next moment, they disappeared from their original spot!

Nonō didn't ask any questions and vanished instantly.

Only the countless corpses at the Sky Ninja ruins were left unattended.

"Yo, you're living quite comfortably here."

Upon entering the Kamui dimension, the first thing Raijin saw was a magnificent wooden house.

Tsunade stood by the window, savoring her tea.

She held a scroll in her hand, studying it intently.

This scroll contained the forbidden technique created by Shennong.

It shared similarities with her Creation Rebirth technique.

There were even traces of her own secret techniques within it.

This greatly intrigued Tsunade.

Moreover, Tsunade was quite dissatisfied with the environment in Raijin's dimension.

Mainly because Raijin didn't have any sake here. Otherwise, she would have wanted to drink and get drunk.

"The woman you brought has been healed. Who are these three you brought this time?"

"I don't recall seeing these ninjas in Konoha!"

Tsunade saw Raijin and spoke calmly.

She was particularly interested in the three people behind Raijin. 

These three people were completely unfamiliar.

He hadn't seen them before when he went to Konoha.

It was normal not to recognize the shorter one behind them due to their young age.

But the one wearing the Konoha uniform, carrying a scythe, and sporting a crazy, evil grin,

this young man didn't look like a good person at all.

She had no impression of him.

As for the other one, with bandages covering his face,

sharp teeth and a sharp tongue!

You're saying he's from Konoha?

I find that hard to believe.

Even if he was wearing a Konoha ninja uniform,

Tsunade didn't think Konoha would have someone like that.

"I didn't expect one of the Sannin, Tsunade, to be captured and brought here by you."

"The bosses of some loan sharks in the Land of Springs have been looking for this woman for a while."

"They couldn't find her, but it turns out she's with you."

Zabuza wore a casual sneer on his face.

He was secretly surprised.

He had no idea about Raijin's plans.

He still didn't know what this man was up to.

But involving one of the Sannin from Konoha, Tsunade,

meant things were probably not that simple.

"Lord Raijin!"

Uchiha Izumi walked out of the wooden house, her arm wrapped in bandages.

It seemed like she had recovered well, and there was some color back in her face.

"Hmm, you've recovered well. You can stay here for now."

"I probably won't need you for the matters with Konoha later!"

Raijin nodded.

She was the only person around him who had awakened the Mangekyō Sharingan on her own.

He couldn't waste her in the battles in Konoha.

"I... I want to go back with Lord Raijin!"

"I want to help Lord Raijin eliminate Uchiha Itachi, the traitor of the Uchiha clan."

Uchiha Izumi's face twitched slightly, and then she spoke resolutely.

She had awakened her Mangekyō Sharingan because of Uchiha Itachi.

She originally wanted to kill Uchiha Itachi but ultimately failed.

So Izumi wanted to go back with Raijin and settle her grudge with Itachi personally.

"Alright!"

Raijin thought for a moment and didn't reject Izumi's proposal.

She could stay by his side as an attendant and bodyguard for now.

"It seems you're almost ready, kid."

"Are you planning to take the Uchiha clan and defect?"

Tsunade jumped down from the window sill, followed by a shadow.

It was the one who could use Wood Style, Kakuzu.

In just two days, Tsunade had taken him under her wing.

She had no intention of letting this talent go to Raijin.

"How can you call it defection? We're leaving openly and honestly."

"And you'll probably see a lot of familiar faces then."

"I'm sure you miss the people from your village too."

Raijin smiled and corrected Tsunade's words.

This time, Tsunade didn't get angry. She narrowed her eyes and looked at Raijin.

This young guy was even more cunning than the Second Hokage.

"Can you tell me about your plan? I'm suddenly interested in your plan to go to another world."

Tsunade asked.

But Raijin remained silent on the matter.

He arranged for Hidan, Zabuza, and the others to stay there.

Then he teleported directly to Konoha.

In a dark underground base,

an old man leaned on a cane, silently listening to Uchiha Itachi's report.

The moment he heard about Uchiha Izumi awakening the Mangekyō Sharingan,

his hands gripped the cane tightly, and his chakra fluctuated.

"Since you say that Uchiha Izumi has awakened the Mangekyō Sharingan!"

"Then what do you think we should do?"

Danzo looked at Uchiha Itachi coldly and asked.

This useless fool didn't bring back the dying Uchiha Izumi's Mangekyō Sharingan.

Instead, he went to save a Root ANBU.

Didn't he understand the importance of weighing the pros and cons?

No!

Uchiha Itachi probably did understand.

But he still chose to do that.

He didn't want him, Danzo, to get those eyes.

Killing intent welled up in Danzo's heart. He really wanted to kill Uchiha Itachi right there and then.

But there was no point in crying over spilled milk now.

The Uchiha clan understood their own kind the best.

He wondered if there was a way to deal with the Mangekyō Sharingan.

"I need to go back and check the ancestral records."

Uchiha Itachi hesitated, not revealing that only a Mangekyō Sharingan could counter another Mangekyō Sharingan.

He needed to discuss this with Shisui after he returned.

"Alright! But I'm afraid the Third Hokage won't wait that long."

"He'll find out about this soon, so you need to come up with a solution quickly." 

Danzo turned around and said coldly.
