Kakuzu, who had been searching for Konan in the Ninja World for a long time but still had no news about her, was extremely surprised when he accidentally heard that there were gods and angels governing the Rain Country.
The Rain Country is extremely closed, and coupled with poor weather conditions and year-round rain, people here rarely go out, and people from outside rarely come here. As long as those in power continue to block it off, it will become an isolated place from the world.
The former leader of the Akatsuki organization who claimed to be a god must have died, but Konan, who was an angel, was still alive and even took away most of the savings of the organization, which made Kakuzu very dissatisfied.
"You played a trick of hiding the dark from the light. The most dangerous place is the safest place. You just hid back in your lair. Do you think no one would notice you?"
Although he is not completely sure who is impersonating the "God" of the Rain Country now, there is a high possibility that the angel is Konan. It would have been fine if he didn't know it before, but now that he knows about such a change, Kakuzu will naturally come to verify it. If it is Konan, it would be the best. If not, he can also vent his anger on these guys who pretend to be gods and get some benefits at the same time.
Although bounty hunters are mercenaries who accept missions and kill villains, they are not good people either. They are guys who will do anything for money. If they can do it without being noticed, it is common for them to play the role of robbers.
Kakuzu didn't think that after this country lost the former leader of the Akatsuki organization, there would be no one who could stop him. Even if it was the organization's former "White Tiger", Kakuzu was very confident that he could defeat him.
The continuous drizzle in the air no longer had that faint chakra reaction, indicating that the Rain Tiger Freedom Technique had been lifted.
Without the Rinnegan, without the huge amount of chakra like the Uzumaki family, and physical strength that cannot be compared with ordinary people, who can maintain this ultra-large-scale reconnaissance ninjutsu that can cover the entire country?
Kakuzu was full of confidence and didn't worry too much. After entering the Rain Country, he observed this country step by step. Although it was very similar to the previous one, it was still somewhat different.
Gradually, Jiaodu began to have some ominous premonitions.
At first, I saw that this country struggling in the torment of life and death was doing quite well. I just sighed that this guy who stole the power of the Rain Kingdom had good leadership skills, but that was all. With his immortal body, several unknown small countries have perished in his hands.
Although the Rain Country is a little stronger, as long as you are careful, even if you can't defeat them, escaping will definitely not be a problem.
As time went by, the more Kakuzu observed, the more shocked he became. The daily routine was well-organized, and the combination of the force team was also extremely reasonable. The most surprising thing was that Kakuzu still hadn't found any traces of ninjas that were too powerful.
This situation either means that the ruler of this country is a wise man with great intelligence but weak combat capability, or that he is a super master who is so powerful that he can subdue the entire country without showing any military deterrence. Even if it were me, it would take some effort to achieve this level, and I would definitely not be so unworldly.
"Or both? It seems I was careless..."
By the time Jiaodu realized something was wrong and wanted to leave, it was too late.
"What an unexpected uninvited guest!"
A frighteningly familiar voice came over.
"Is that you, Mizuki?"
Kakuzu's expression could not be seen beneath the mask, but his eyes, shining with a faint light, revealed his shock and anxiety.
Mizuki and his two physical clones - Nozomi and Koji - formed a triangle with Kakuzu in the middle.
"When I sensed your familiar chakra, I couldn't believe it. I didn't expect you to come to me like this. It's such a pleasant surprise..."
Kakuzu's fighting power may not be the key force that determines the outcome of the battle, but Mizuki, who has already broken the line of fate, dare not miss any opportunity to increase his chances of winning. A small mistake may lead to all previous efforts being wasted. Kakuzu's strength is still impressive.
"The Leaf Village is really a bunch of hypocritical guys. On the surface, they shout slogans loudly, but they control the Rain Country quietly behind the scenes. If the Daimyo of the Land Country and the Third Tsuchikage Ohnoki of the Hidden Rock Village knew about this, I wonder what they would think!"
The buffer zone between the two major countries, once completely controlled by one of them, will cause conflict between the Earth Kingdom and the Fire Kingdom again, and the balance of victory will seriously tilt towards the Fire Kingdom.
Mizuki smiled and shook his head.
"My compatriots are just as you said, they are all stupid and inflexible, so they naturally won't do such a thing, but people like me are not necessarily the same..."
Mizuki waved his hand, signaling the two physical clones to prepare to take action.
"Is that so?"
Kakuzu looked around with wandering eyes, looking for a way to break out.
"What a despicable fellow!"
Although he didn't know what Mizuki, a Konoha jonin, wanted to do by controlling a country, whether he wanted to learn from Orochimaru or experience the feeling of being a god like the former leader of the organization, Kakuzu couldn't guess. These had nothing to do with his current situation. Even if it was to keep this secret, Mizuki would never let him go.
"Don't think about running away, it's useless!"
Mizuki chuckled, and with a thought, rows of light pillars suddenly rose up around him, reaching straight into the dark rain clouds in the sky. With the shocking light and shadow effects, a huge closed barrier took shape, blocking all of Kakuzu's retreat routes.
"You are courting death by trespassing into the camp of a high-level ninja who is proficient in sealing and barrier techniques. Even your new leader doesn't dare to act recklessly in my home turf... By the way, you also trespassed unintentionally. It's not your fault. Just consider yourself unlucky, you unlucky guy!"
If it weren't for the impact of Mizuki's actions, this guy would have been killed by Nara Shikamaru and his companions for revenge. He has lived a little longer and should be content.
Kakuzu looked at the barrier reaching up to the sky in despair and asked helplessly:
"Such a large-scale position must have gathered the ninja power of the entire country, right? Is it worth going to such a big fuss just to kill me?"
"Whether it's worth it or not is indeed a question for you, but for the believers of this country, there is a demon that needs to be defeated! Do you hear the voices of prayer and the power of faith around you? You are the best target now!"
If you want the believers to be more pious, of course, in the event of a demon invasion, the trick of defeating the demon with the power bestowed by the gods is most deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. It doesn't matter if Shuimu spends more effort to mobilize the believers of the Rain Kingdom to join the sacred war against the demons.
