Three nights later.

In the Land of Wind, Sunagakure.

Dark clouds covered the moon, under the dark night Sunagakure was quiet with sparse lights. Most of the villagers fell asleep.

At the entrance of the village, two Chunin guards stood guard, yawning boredly.

Suddenly, the two fell to the ground without warning. They didn't have any wounds on their bodies, but their eyes were dull, as if they are in some kind of illusion.

Three figures in black cloaks appeared out of the darkness.

"The lights in the Kazekage Building are still on. It seems that Kazekage hasn't slept yet. He is really a hardworking Kazekage."

They joked as they calmly broke the outer barrier and silently sneaked into the village and went straight to the Kazekage Building.

Ten minutes later.

In the room, The Kazekage with short brown hair was standing in front of the crib, watching his two sleeping children.

His one-year-old eldest daughter Temari, and the newly born eldest son Kankuro.

The newly-appointed fourth Kazekage has already established a high prestige in the village by virtue of his power and his ruthless methods.

He, who was usually unsmiling on weekdays, showed his soft side at this time.

At this moment, a young woman with sand-brown hair came in from the door and put her hand on Rasa's shoulder.

"You've been busy all day, you must have exhausted yourself. Go and rest early. Just leave the children to me to see."

She said softly, with a faint smile on her face and tenderness in her eyes.

This woman is Rasa's wife, Karura.

Rasa turned around to hold his wife's hand, and said thoughtfully, "I'm not tired, you just gave birth, so you should rest first."

After he finished speaking, he embraced Karura in his arms.

"Yo, what a loving couple."

Suddenly, a very discordant voice came from the door, interrupting the warmth between the two.

Rasa was suddenly startled, and hurriedly put Karura behind him and looked towards the door, as three figures walked in.

"Who are you? Guards!"

Rasa questioned and called the guards.

"Don't shout, they've all been delt with. Rasa, I want you to work for me."

Obito took a step forward, staring at him with his Sharingan that instantly transformed into Mangekyo Sharingan, releasing a strong amount of chakra.

"Want me work for you? What a joke!"

Rasa sneered, and started forming a hand seal. He wanted to use his Kekkei Genkai, the magnetic release, to take them down.

But when he was halfway through the seal, his hands stopped, and his eyes turned into the shape of a Sharingan, and he froze in place.

"Rasa!"

Karura was shocked when she saw this. She was about to make a move, but she accidentally fell into an illusion and stood still.

The husband and wife, in just a few seconds, became Obito's puppets.

"Rasa, what are you going to do next?"

Obito looked at the still frozen fourth Kazekage in front of him, and asked slowly.

"I will start a war and invade Amegakure." Rasa smiled and said ambitiously.

Seeing this, Orochimaru and Danzo couldn't help but look at each other.

They witnessed the whole process of Obito swaggering into Sunagakure, subduing all enemies with illusion along the way, and easily manipulate the fourth Kazekage.

Is this the power of the Mangekyo Sharingan?

Outrageous.

If they knew that the two generations of Mizukages have been controlled by Sharingan successively, they may not be so surprised.

Of course, not any pair of Mangekyo Sharingan have such strong power.

Uchiha Madara and Uchiha Obito, the former uses a transplanted Sharingan, the latter only has a single Mangekyo Sharingan, but their power is actually much stronger than Uchiha Fugaku who has a pair of Mangekyo Sharingan.

That's because both of them have mastered the power of Senju and Uchiha at the same time, and combining these two abilities will produce incredible power.

Obito's Sharingan is strong enough to manipulate the Nine Tails, not to mention a Kazekage.

Unfortunately, his illusions were useless against almost inhuman monsters like Kisame. To defeat Kisame, he can only use more powerful force to crush him head-on.

After controlling Rasa, Obito turned around and showed off to Orochimaru and Danzo:

"Now, you should've understand my plan, right?"

When he was talking, the Mangekyo Sharingan emitted a strange light, so neither of them dared to look directly, and avoided his gaze.

Seeing this, Obito sneered in his heart and comforted the two of them: "Don't worry, you are my allies, and I will not use illusion to control you."

In fact, his Sharingan also has a limit, and he is not allowed to control several Kage-level powerhouses at the same time. Otherwise, he would have taken both of them long ago.

Danzo didn't speak, but in his eyes, there was a strong desire to obtain Obito's Mangekyo Sharingan.

He couldn't help imagining that if he had this eye earlier, he would have definitely used it on Sarutobi Hiruzen without hesitation, ordering the other party to give him the position of Hokage.

Orochimaru, like Danzo, also coveted it, but combined with Obito's previous words and deeds, he came to a conclusion that the Rennigan is is stronger than Mangekyo Sharingan.

Thinking of this, Orochimaru couldn't wait to get Nagato's body and eyes.

"Next, let's wait and see a good show."

AObito said expectantly.

For Obito, war is just a game, and he doesn't care no matter how many people die. The big deal is to resurrect those people in the world of Infinite Tsukuyomi.

Without his moral burden, he can do any bad things with peace of mind, and he is completely blackened.

....

In the Land of Rain, Akatsuki's secret stronghold.

Yahiko's cold body lay in the coffin. On the bed next to him, Nagato also fell into a coma due to overdrawing his chakra, and he was as thin as a skeleton now.

Countless pieces of paper flew from the outside and finally gathered together to form Konan's body.

She had been on guard outside the base just now, and after confirming that no enemy had found it, she returned to the room and took good care of Nagato.

Although the two were temporarily out of danger, Konan knew that they were not safe.

As Yahiko said before his death, Nagato was targeted by at least three groups of people:

Fifth Mizukage Hoshigaki Kisame, Konoha traitors Orochimaru and Danzo, and a mysterious guy named Uchiha Obito.

If they continue to stay in the Land of Rain, they will undoubtedly be in danger. After Nagato wakes up, it is best to leave as soon as possible.

But then again, without strong enough strength, how can the huge ninja world be considered a truly safe place?

Thinking of this, Konan looked at the rain with a worried expression, as the rain outside the window was getting heavier.

…

Land of Fire, Konohagakure.

Konoha has experienced the biggest storm since the village was built more than 40 years ago.

In the battle with Kirigakure, Konoha lost nearly 5,000 ninjas, and their homeground was destroyed by Kisame, which can be said to be a major defeat.

Known as the "God of Shinobi", the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen, after signing a humiliating peace treaty with Kirigakure, faced the angry condemnation of Konoha, and could only sadly announce his abdication, making the village enter the weakest period in history. period.

However, Konoha cannot live without Hokage.

So during the next period of time, a fierce competition was launched in the village with regards to the fourth Hokage position.

Many clans have sent representatives to campaign, and the number of candidates reached more than 30 - this is a "grand event" that has never occurred in previous Hokage selections.

The reason why it has become like this is because the major clans are very dissatisfied with the high-level elders of Konoha.

Second, it was because some of the originally strong candidates had accidents.

Orochimaru was originally a popular candidate to be the fourth Hokage, but he defected with Danzo after he was exposed regarding the usage of villagers and orphans to conduct human experiments;

Uchiha Fugaku and Hyuga Hiashi also have a chance, but due to the failure of the attack on Kirigakure, they became prisoners and have not been released yet;

Of all the candidates, Namikaze Minato is the most promising candidate.

Before encountering Kisame, Minato was a yellow flash that traversed the major battlefields and never failed, shaking the entire ninja world. Coupled with the advantages of his appearance and character, he was once supported by many people.

But after losing to Kisame, Minato's invincible myth was shattered. And because he is a close associate of the "sinner" Sarutobi Hiruzen, it is inevitable that many people will suspect that he is the latter's puppet.

Therefore, as soon as Namikaze Minato participated in the election, he was boycotted by everyone. In desperation, he became the first candidate to withdraw.

And the rest, only a bunch of stinky fish and rotten shrimps were left, the various candidates basically refused to accept the other, and the selection for a while.

It dragged on for a few days.

In the end, the fourth Hokage was selected, a person who was not on the candidate list, but was reasonable—

Jiraiya.

Jiraiya was a prodigal son and was not interested in the position of Hokage, so he never ran for election at first.

But now, in the weakest stage of Konoha, he is the only Sannin left in the village, and he is the only one who can carry this banner.

Under Hiruzen Sarutobi's secret advice, the elders fully supported Jiraiya. In addition, Mount Myoboku also expressed their strong support for Jiraiya, and Fukasaku and Shima assist him throughout the process.

The most important thing is Jiraiya's strength.

On that day, when Kisame attacked the village and no one could stop him, Jiraiya alone stood up and used the sage mode to repel him, making the latter pause.

The sage mode's power was seen by many Konoha ninjas with their own eyes, and was recognized by everyone.

As Hokage, you must have enough power to protect the villagers.

So, despite some resistance, Jiraiya successfully became the fourth Hokage of Konohagakure.

On the day he took office, with the eloquence of the best-selling novelist, he delivered an exciting speech, which greatly boosted the morale of the villagers.

Subsequently, under his leadership, Konoha began the difficult reconstruction work.

The good news is that Konoha suffered very few civilian casualties in this war, almost negligible. Moreover, there is no direct economic loss, and the treasury has a lot of surplus money.

In addition, Mount Myoboku also sent a large number of toads to come, not only to help Konoha rebuild, but also to serve as an escort.

Due to Mount Myoboku's support, Sunagakure, Iwakagure, and Kumogakure, who originally wanted to take advantage of the situation, could only dispell the idea of ​​launching a war against Konoha again.

Konoha was finally able to get through this most difficult period smoothly.

During this process, after the Great Toad Sage Gamamaru spoke in person, Mount Myoboku officially extended an olive branch to Konoha, and formed an alliance with the latter.

On Konoha Ninja's uniform, the original Uzumaki clan emblem has been changed to the word "oil" of Mount Myoboku.

A few days later, Konohagakure, which was devastated beyond recognition, was rebuilt. Although it is not as prosperous as before, it has managed to restore a little of the style of the first of the five great ninja villages.

The only thing that made Konoha people feel uncomfortable is the Hokage Rock.

After the reconstruction of Hokage Rock, the statues of the previous Hokages have disappeared, they are replaced by Kisame's face.

That statue has neat short hair, a face cut with a knife and axe, three gills full of personality on each side of the cheek, slightly wrinkled brows, and sharp eyes.

Handsome and stylish.

Standing in front of this statue will make people feel small and have a strong sense of oppression.

The statue, standing on the former Hokage Rock , looked down on the Konohagakure below it with a victorious attitude.

For Konoha, this is undoubtedly a huge shame, but it is the existence of this statue that allows Konoha to have the current peace.

Therefore, no matter how upset Konoha is, they can only endure it.

At night.

Konohagakure is brightly lit, and with the reopening of the night market, many shops have reopened, creating a lively scene. People seem to have forgotten the pain caused by the war.

"Yo, as expected of Konoha, it's recovery ability is still quite strong."

Kisame flapped his wings and floated in the night sky. After he saw the statue on Hokage Rock from a distance, he was very satisfied. It seemed that Uchiha and the Hyuga clan were not perfunctory and did what he ordered.

'I can let them out now.'

Thinking of this, Kisame took out Fugaku and Hiashi from the Box of Ultimate Bliss, tied them with chakra strings, threw them down at the entrance of the village.
