Must Win

Musashi was stunned, looking at Nagasawa, who suddenly laughed.

Normally, shouldn't Nagasawa kill him now?

"It's a waste to let you die now. Little brat, if you feel like you haven't rampaged enough, have as much rampage as you want on behalf of my name."

"Be my son." Nagasawa stretched out his hand to Musashi.

Musashi grabbed Nagasawa's hand and was a little confused.

After losing a fight, instead of dead, he suddenly got a new father. He didn't know if this was a loss or a gain.

Whoosh!!!

Suddenly, many Shurikens were thrown at Nagasawa.

At the same time, a few Shinobi with Kusagakure's forehead protectors and some more people with knives surrounded Nagasawa and Tsugatsu.

Nagasawa did not even say anything to these small fries. He just swung Murakumogiri, sending out a compressed air blade. Not only did it block all the flying Shuriken, but it also split the nearby enemies in half.

"You must be dreaming if you brats think you can deal with me!"

After saying that, Nagasawa's body suddenly disappeared from where he was. He used his extreme speed and swung Murakumogiri at Kusagakure Shinobi.

Swish!

Kusagakure Shinobi only felt a gust of wind blowing past them before they lost consciousness and fell to the ground.

After killing the Kusagakure Shinobi, Nagasawa looked at the crowd around him with an intimidating gaze.

Nagasawa then left with Tsugatsu and Musashi. Now that they had traveled around the Land of Grass for a while, it was time to visit Amegakure.

After Nagasawa left, the people in the tavern felt relieved.

The pressure from Nagasawa was too much.

"That Whitebeard guy is amazing. Those Kusagakure Shinobi are all Chunin, yet they are killed in an instant before they can even react."

"He is indeed powerful. With the speed that Whitebeard displayed just now, even an ordinary Jonin might not be able to follow his movement, and he was that fast despite his old age. How strong was he when he was young?"

"However, that Whitebeard guy does not seem to be a Shinobi. I have never seen him use Ninjutsu. Could it be that he is from the Land of Iron?"

"Land of Iron is a neutral Country. Is he not afraid of inviting disaster for his own country by doing this?"

"Who knows? There's no guarantee that he's from the Land of Iron in the first place. However, with such a build and strength, it should be easy to look into his past."

...

Amegakure.

"Have you found the people of Akatsuki?" Hanzo asked a Shinobi that was kneeling before him.

The Shinobi shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, Hanzo-sama. It was as if Akatsuki had just vanished from Amegakure. I can't find them at all."

"Trash! Hurry up and find them! I must kill those people." Hanzo said with some anger.

At this time, Hanzo was at his home.

Since he saw Nagato summon the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path to kill a large number of Amegakure Shinobi, he never worked at the tower where his office was anymore.

Because the tower was too conspicuous, he was afraid that Nagato would force his way there to seek revenge.

He had stationed some guards in his house. Even if Nagato found this place, he had enough manpower to keep Nagato at bay. He had also prepared a tunnel ahead of time to escape.

At this moment, Hanzo was no longer the legendary Shinobi who would start a war against the three surrounding countries without fear. He was just the leader of Amegakure, who was getting old.

Ever since the moment he gave up on his subordinates and escaped, his conviction had died.

...

"Oh? Whitebeard?"

In Akatsuki's base, Obito, who was wearing a spiral-pattern mask, was looking at the information collected by White Zetsu.

Nagato promised that as long as Obito helped him fulfill his wish of avenging his friend, he would also help Obito fulfill his wish.

Therefore, while Obito was planning to seize Amegakure and kill Hanzo, he was also choosing the perfect people to capture Tailed-Beasts in the future.

Catching Tailed-Beasts was not a simple matter, not only because they were not easy to deal with but also because the Eight-Tailed and Nine-Tailed Jinchuuriki were inside Five Great Shinobi Countries.

If he wanted to seize all the Tailed-Beasts, that meant picking a fight with Five Great Shinobi Countries.

Nagato's strength alone was not enough if he wanted to achieve his goal quickly.

No matter how strong they were, they could not simultaneously seize Five Great Shinobi Countries' Tailed-Beasts.

Therefore, it was necessary to recruit some people to do the job.

The Shinobi World was not short of people who wanted to stir up chaos in the world.

"Is he old? Then forget it. There is still a long time before the Eye of the Moon Plan begins. I don't want him to die of old age before the plan even begins."

After Obito saw the age of Whitebeard, he decisively removed Whitebeard from his candidate list.

Age affected most Shinobi. After reaching a certain age, a Shinobi would get weaker and weaker no matter how strong they were when they were young.

No matter how much experience he had, it was useless if his body could not react.

"Is there any situation in Konoha? Did Jiraiya go back?" Obito asked Zetsu.

"No, it's nothing serious," White Zetsu replied.

"That's good. Why did Tsunade suddenly come back?" Obito was a little confused.

Ever since Zetsu got the news of Kushina's pregnancy, Obito came up with a plan.

That was to release the Kyubi and had it destroy Konoha.

Since Madara once controlled Kyubi with Sharingan, Obito could directly summon Kyubi when its seal weakened during Kushina's childbirth.

This was his revenge against Konoha.

At the same time, it was also for his future plans.

Although Konoha suffered a serious blow in the Third Shinobi World War, Konoha was still the strongest village. No one in their right mind would try anything funny against Konoha.

This situation was not what Obito wanted. In his imagination, the world should be in chaos, which would make it easier for Akatsuki to develop.

However, according to White Zetsu's information, Konoha has changed too much.

The Third Hokage stepped down, and his former teacher, Minato, became the Fourth Hokage.

The elder of Konoha, Danzo, was imprisoned, and the completely average Fujiwara Nagasawa became the Hokage's assistant!

Tsunade also suddenly returned to Konoha, creating a medical department to cultivate Medical-nin.

Although there were many variables, Obito was still confident that he could accomplish his plan to weaken Konoha.

Who cared if Konoha had more skilled Shinobi now? That wouldn't change the fact that he would attack during Kushina's childbirth.

Tsunade was such a big shot, so there was no way she'd help Kushina with childbirth.

Shinobi's war wasn't all about strength. Intelligence was also a decisive factor. With White Zetsu having a lot of information about Konoha, he was already on the winning side.
