There are two reasons.

First, Madara transplanted the Rennigan to Nagato in his childhood, and he would have to monitor the latter for a long time, so his hiding place must be not far from the Land of Rain.

Second, Madara accidentally rescued Uchiha Obito who fell into the tunnel during the Battle of Kannabi Bridge. The Kannabi Bridge was the only way for the logistics supply route when Iwakagure attacked Konoha.

So from the map, Madara's hiding place is most likely in the northwest direction of Konoha Village, somewhere on the border of the three countries, Land of Fire, Land of Rain, and Land of Grass.

So here comes the question.

In his old age Madara Uchiha's life is like a candle in the wind, and it is very inconvenient for him to move. He had a tube inserted and relied on Gedo Statue to survive.

Under such circumstances, how did he manipulate Kiri Anbu, thousands of miles away, to order them to capture Rin Nohara, implant three tails into her body, and cast a curse on her heart?

Madara Uchiha must have used some method.

The biggest possibility that Kisame thought of was... the shadow clone jutsu.

After all, during the dormant period, under the guidance of Black Zetsu, a large number of White Zetsu clones were created. Using these clones and the power of the Sharingan, it is not difficult for Madara to create a clone or puppet to use in the outside world.

No matter what before seeing Madara himself or his clone, Kisame is not prepared to act rashly, otherwise it would be easy to startle the snake.

Now that this cave has been discovered, the next thing to do is to wait patiently.

Once the battle of Kannabi Bridge breaks out, Madara Uchiha will definitely move.

Thinking of this, Kisame glanced at the white Zetsu and Mangetsu in the secret room, he quietly exited the cave.

…

Days passed by during the war.

News came from the front that in the decisive battle between Konoha and Iwagakura, the Kannabi Bridge was blown up, and the "yellow flash" Namikaze Minato attacked and killed a thousand Iwakagure ninjas in an instant.

Under the deterrence of Namikaze Minato, the Iwakagure army was frightened and quickly withdrew from the Land of Fire.

Konoha won big this time.

In this way, in the third ninja war, Konoha has successively defeated two powerful enemies, Kumogakure and Iwakagure.

Such a strong performance made Sunagakure, who was just around the corner, directly dispel the idea of war. The fourth Kazekage Rasa even went to Konoha to visit Sarutobi Hizuren, hoping that the two Ninja villages could form an alliance to jointly maintain the peace of the ninja world.

At this point, Konoha's last enemy is only the village of Hidden Mist in the west.

At this time Kisame quitely lurkef near the cave.

According to his speculation, Madara Uchiha should have rescued Obito at this time, so the plan to kill Nohara Rin must start soon.

A few days later, a figure appeared in the woods.

What surprised Kisame was that the man had green hair and purple eyes, was short in stature, and carried a stick-shaped weapon decorated with green flowers on his back.

This man with a baby face, who looks like a very young man, is the fourth Mizukage of Kirigakure - Yagura.

The reason why Yagura appeared here was because his eyes had already turned into the pattern of Sharingan.

It seems that the fourth Mizukage still failed to escape the fate of his predecessor, and was also manipulated by Uchiha Madara with Sharingan.

Yagura was like a walking corpse, numbly walking through the woods to the front of the cave.

A man in a black robe slowly walked out of the cave. As he lifted his hood, he revealed a proud face and a pair of Sharingan.

Sure enough... It's Uchiha Madara's clone?

Kisame looked at this scene from the dark, and his spirit was lifted. The reason why he determined that the man in black robe was Madara's clone was not because of the other person's Sharingan, but because of the Gunbai behind the man.

Yes, he is carrying the Gunbai.

Kisame finally saw this ninja tool that made him dream.

He calmed down and continued to wait patiently.

In front of the cave, Madara Uchiha instructed Yagura with a few words, and activated the Sharingan's ability, strengthening the illusion on the latter.

Then Madara walked into the cave.

Yagura turned around, and walked in the direction of Kirigakure without saying a word.

"Tsk tsk, this Yagura should be regarded as the most miserable Mizukage." Kisame secretly sighed.

During Yagura's reign, he was first manipulated by Madara's Sharingan, and after Madara's death, he gained a short-lived freedom. But a few years later, Obito came to Kirigakure again, and once again manipulated the Mizukage with Sharingan, making him a puppet of Sharingan.

After sometime, Kisame followed Yagura all the way back to Kirigakure.

The same day.

After Yagura returned to the village, he immediately dispatched a large number of Anbu ninjas to launch a secret operation.

These people went to Konoha to catch Nohara LRn.

On the surface, they obeyed the orders of the fourth Mizukage, but in fact, they are all pawns of Uchiha Madara.

Kisame immediately found his immediate boss, Fuguki Suikazan, and reported what he had seen, claiming that the fourth Mizukage colluded with foreign enemies and was doing something to betray the village.

"Fuguki-sama, for the future of Kirigakure, please stop the fourth Mizukage!"

Kisame bowed deeply to Suikazan and pleaded impatiently.

"Why would the Mizukage actually do such a thing?"

Hearing these words, Suikazan frowned, at first not believing Kisame's words.

But at this time, an Anbu ninja hurried in and reported to him the unusual movements of Kirigaku Anbu, which was exactly the same as what Kisame said.

Hearing these words, Suikazan finally looked solemn. After pondering for a moment, he ordered Kisame:

"Hoshigaki Kisame, I order you to keep up with those Anbu ninjas immediately, find out where they are going and what they are going to do. Once you have new discoveries, contact me as soon as possible!"

"Yes, my lord! I will complete the task."

Kisame stood up straight, with a grim look on his face, and quickly turned to leave.

There was a flash of light in Suikazan's eyes as he gathered his cronies to prepare for action.

If Yagura really colluded with a foreign enemy and was caught by him, then the position of the fourth Mizukage will be his.

At that time, he can be what he wanted for a long time.

Thinking of this, Suikazan couldn't help clenching the Samehada, and his heart gradually became restless.

After Kisame left the Anbu base, he looked back.

'Oh, the fish is hooked.'

He knew that Suikazan could not be restrained anymore.

The plan is carried out step by step according to his expectations.

He did not follow Suikazan's instructions to catch up with the Anbu troops sent by Yagura, but returned to the mountain again and lurked outside the cave.

Three days later.

A group of Kirigakure Anbu, as expected, brought Nohara Rin back and drove them into the cave.

Soon, Yagura also came here, and he was holding a huge jar in his hand, and the jar was covered with complicated sealing techniques.

In there, should be the three tails.

Kisame immediately notified Suikazan by means of Anbu's liaison, waiting for the latter's large army to kill.

During this period.

Inside the cave, there was a violent chakra fluctuation, and it was also accompanied by an earth shaking roars —obviously, Madara Uchiha transplanted the three tails into Nohara Rin's body.

Shortly after.

Nohara Rin, who was unconscious, was brought out by the Anbu Kirigaku again.

"Start the plan."

Nearly 100 members of the Kiri Anbu, following Mizukage's order, once again took Nohara Rin to the designated location in the direction of Konoha to prepare for the next step.

"Bang!"

Kisame separated a clone and followed it quietly, leaving the main body to wait here.

'Where is Suikazan?'

Just when Kisame was feeling a little impatient and was about to break into the cave single-handedly, he looked back and saw that Suikazan has brought a troop of cronies and aggressively moved here.

Kisame was immediately overjoyed, and hurried forward to report to Suikazan:

"My lord, I saw with my own eyes that the fourth Mizukage has brought the three tails and transplanted it into the body of a Konoha ninja. Mizukage actually sold our tailed beast, which is an act of betraying the village!"

"Hmph, I already know that. This time, I'll see how Yagura is going to get out of this!"

Suikazan snorted coldly, and rushed into the cave on the spot with his subordinates.

Kisame deliberately went last.

A group of people moved through the corridor and came to the underground secret room, and saw Yagura and Madara Uchiha's clone together.

At this time, the two of them were standing in front of the glass container that was as tall as one person, it looks like they were going to get rid of Mangetsu.

"Fuguki-sama, save me!"

After Mangetsu found Fuguki Suikazan and others, he couldn't help but be ecstatic and shouted loudly.

'Um?'

Madara Uchiha and Yagura turned around.

Suikazan and his group of Anbu confronted Uchiha Madara and Yagura.

"Fourth Mizukage, what is going on here? Why did you take the three tails privately out of the village, and give it to outsiders, and kidnapped Hozuki Mangetsu?"

Suikazan raised his Samehada and questioned sharply.

"Lord Fuguki, Mizukage is controlled by illusion, and the other party is from the Uchiha clan!"

Without waiting for Yagura and Madara to speak, Mangetsu who is in the cage, quickly reminded.

'What? !'

Hearing the words, Fuguki and the others felt incredible.

At this time.

"Kill them." Madara Uchiha ordered coldly.

"Yes." Yagura nodded numbly, as his pair of eyes immediately turned into the shape of Sharingan.

'Whoosh.'

The Fourth Mizukage held a large black iron rod and rushed straight towards Suikazan.

'Clang!'

Fuguki raised his Samehada to hold off Yagura.

A battle began.

In a few minutes.

'Rumble.'

With a loud noise of the ground shaking a surging water that was like a roaring dragon, wrapping dozens of Kirigakure's Anbu, rushed out of the cave.

Someone used a large-scale water release ninjutsu.

'Whoosh whoosh.'

Then three figures rushed out of the cave and landed on the clearing in the forest.

Suikazan looked back and found that nearly half of his subordinates had been damaged, and his face became very ugly for a while.

Madara and Yakura, who were opposite him, were unscathed.

'Womm.'

Yagura quickly formed a seal and created a circular water mirror in front of him. From the water mirror, a person who looked exactly like Suikazan emerged and launched a fierce attack on Suikazan.
