Chapter 910: We Are Assassins! (Combined Chapter)
At the border between the Country of Rain and the Land of Birds.
This place was a major spectacle in the Ninja World, like the dividing line between the 'Yellow Sea' and the 'Bohai Sea'.
To the west, the Land of Birds was clearly sunny and clear, but to the east, the Country of Rain was covered in dark clouds, with continuous rain.
Of course, it occasionally didn't rain in the Country of Rain. Only then did the skies of the two countries appear connected.
"Yahiko, Nagato, look, it's raining ahead, we're almost home!"
Konan, twelve years old this year, wearing a grey-black Chunin Vest.
While supporting the weakened Nagato with Yahiko, she looked at the distant dark Sky Color and said excitedly.
For her, although the Country of Rain was damp and cold, it was the shared home of the Three Little Ones.
"Yeah, but Yahiko, have you thought about how to face Hanzo?"
Nagato asked softly, looking tired.
For him, who was also only twelve years old, the consumption of the Rinnegan was truly somewhat unbearable.
This was thanks to his Uzumaki Physique; an ordinary Child would have died long ago.
"There's nothing to think about. He was the one who abandoned us then, he should be the one to explain."
Yahiko's Gaze was steady as he supported Nagato, walking step by step towards the Country of Rain.
"Then how do we explain surviving?"
Deep worry flowed in Konan's Eyes.
"Just say that taking advantage of the opportunity when Sunagakure's Fourth Kazekage attacked, I used the Power of the Two-Tails to cover our escape."
Yahiko had clearly thought this through, and his answer seemed very calm.
Anyway, it definitely couldn't be Nagato's Rinnegan.
"Indeed, although we haven't seen the Opponent, since it's a Fukurokuju, their Strength must not be weak. It's reasonable for them to eventually defeat Stone Hidden's Jonin Kitsuchi."
Nagato nodded, agreeing with Yahiko's statement.
After all, the Rain Ninja who were present at the time were all dead.
Coupled with the current Situation of Amegakure and Hanzo, they had no Ability to investigate outside Intelligence.
"Yahiko, have you ever thought that, taking advantage of Hanzo's serious injury this time, we..."
Nagato looked at Yahiko, hesitating to speak.
He felt that with his Rinnegan and the Opponent's Two-Tails.
They should have the Ability to defeat the current Hanzo, and then the Three Little Ones could control Amegakure.
Although they were only twelve or thirteen years old...
"No."
Yahiko shook his head and refused without hesitation.
"Although Hanzo treated us as pawns, we all knew the Situation at the time. He himself lost an arm, which is completely understandable."
"And besides that, towards us... Of course, mainly towards me, he not only did nothing wrong but actually showed kindness to me. Furthermore, for the past ten-odd years, he has been protecting Amegakure against the invasion of other Great Ninja Villages."
"Given all this, how could I do something treacherous?"
Nagato felt somewhat ashamed by Yahiko's words and said in a low voice, "Sorry, Yahiko, I was wrong."
"It's okay."
Yahiko lightly bumped the other person's head full of red hair with his own head, and said with a Smile, "It's alright, I know you're thinking of me~"
[Swish swish swish swish!]
But the sudden Whistling Sound in their ears made the Three Little Ones' Expression change drastically.
At this moment, Jiraiya's past teachings came into play.
Yahiko, Nagato, and Konan, almost instantly, stood back-to-back, forming a Triangle Formation.
At the same time, they pulled out Kunai and vigilantly watched the Figures appearing around them.
There were about twenty people on the other side.
Each of them wore a pitch-black Ninja Alias.
On their foreheads or arms were Headbands printed with the 'Five-Circle Cross' pattern.
A Long Saber in a Black Scabbard was slung diagonally across their backs.
Crucially, from the sharp Aura they displayed and the Muscle Markings on their exposed parts, it was clear they were not weak.
"Who are you? Which Ninja Village are you from? What do you want with us?"
Yahiko looked at the white-haired Ninja who was clearly in a leadership position.
He saw that the other person's Attire was very... luxurious?
First, there were plum blossom-like radiating red Markings around his left Eye.
Hanging down on both sides of his face were head ornaments strung together with irregular Diamonds, shimmering with Flowing Light under the Sunlight.
He also had Gold ornaments on his left Earlobes and right wrist.
On the deltoid Muscles of his two exposed, thick arms, he wore a circle of large Gold bracelets.
Crucially, the other person's appearance, combined with his wine-red Eyes and deep Gaze.
Not only did it not give people a feeling of 'Earth'.
Instead, it looked like he had a gorgeous, noble temperament.
As for the other Ninja around, they were all somewhat odd-looking.
"Sea Ninja Village, under the CIPHER POL Headquarters of the World Government."
"That is our origin, and I am a Jonin of the Sea Ninja Village, 'Sound Hashira' Tengen Uzui."
Tengen Uzui curiously sized up the three Youngsters before him.
Especially Nagato, followed by Yahiko.
As for Konan, she could only be considered a cute Little Girl.
Because he had already received Intelligence regarding the Rinnegan Ability and the Two-Tails Jinchuriki.
Coupled with their Age of twelve...
This Age was simply too young.
Back in the former Demon Slayer Corps, they wouldn't even be able to be Mizunoto Rank Members.
At most, they would be receiving Breathing Style training from a Cultivator.
But based on the Intelligence content.
Nagato and Yahiko's current Strength, even the former Hashira, or even the Twelve Kizuki, might not be their Opponent!
The reason for saying 'might' was.
Tengen Uzui was mainly considering the Demon's super Recovery Ability at night.
"I am here to invite the three of you to Rōran. There, you will know all the Truth."
Towards children.
Tengen Uzui felt his Attitude was very friendly.
But Yahiko and the others did not appreciate it.
"Hehe, Uncle, even children know not to follow strangers. We happen to be children, so there's no way we're going with you!"
"Uh..."
Tengen Uzui was stunned for a moment, rubbing his Chin and muttering to himself, "That makes a lot of sense. What sensible children. If I have children in the future, I hope they can be like you..."
Hotei, Fukurokuju, and the others nearby immediately had a Black Line.
Yahiko, Nagato, and Konan also felt speechless.
Konan whispered, "This person doesn't seem like a bad guy..."
"..."
Yahiko and Nagato also had black lines appear on their heads.
"Please, Konan, he's here to capture us!"
Nagato couldn't help but retort, and Konan stuck out her Informant shyly, "Hehe, oh yeah~"
"I'll state it again, I'm here to invite you. If you refuse, we can only take you."
Tengen Uzui spread his Palm and said helplessly, "This is our Mission. Since you are also Ninja, you should be able to understand, right? So, can you please cooperate..."
"We can understand, but we cannot cooperate!" Yahiko said in a deep voice.
At the same time, he said to the Two-Tails inside him, "Sister Matatabi, can you help me one more time?"
"Okay, be careful."
Matatabi's gentle voice appeared in Yahiko's mind.
It must be said, Matatabi was probably the easiest Tailed Beast to communicate with.
The next moment.
A Blue Light flashed in Yahiko's Eyes.
Immediately, wisps of eerie Blue Flames with black spiral Markings appeared out of nowhere on his Body.
Finally, a floating blue fire Tail formed behind his back.
"Is that the Power of the Two-Tails..."
Tengen Uzui raised his hands and slowly drew the black and gold Twin Swords from his back.
The twenty Hidden Sea Ninja around him, including Hotei and Yazaemon, also prepared to Attack.
For a moment.
The Atmosphere In the Court became incredibly oppressive.
And behind everyone was the continuously raining Country of Rain territory.
The 'pitter-patter' sound of rain kept drifting into the sunny Land of Birds territory.
"Jonin, attack when the Timing is right! Chunin, monitor the surroundings to prevent interference from other Ninja!"
Tengen Uzui shouted loudly.
As soon as his voice fell.
He stomped his foot, and as the Ground cracked, his Figure instantly blurred, leaving only an Afterimage in place.
"Fire Rat Ball!"
"Paper Shuriken Jutsu!"
Yahiko and Konan attacked simultaneously.
The former spat out a rat-shaped Blue Fireball from his mouth.
When it 'ran' a certain Distance.
It suddenly Split into smaller, but more numerous, Blue Flames.
These Flames, with extremely precise Speed and force.
Merged with the Paper Shuriken thrown by Konan during their high-speed flight.
Instantly.
Sharp White Paper burning with blue fire danced across the Sky amidst Whistling Sounds.
But Tengen Uzui's movements were like dancing among them.
With various extremely elegant movements, he easily dodged every blue fire.
"How is this possible..." Konan was in disbelief.
"What incredible Perception Ability, and his Body Control is also perfectly flawless!"
Nagato observed Tengen Uzui's every movement with his Eyes that had long turned into Rinnegan.
"I'll go first!"
At this moment, Yahiko raised his hands, holding his Fingernails that had become sharp and long.
He forcefully swung the long blue fire Tail behind him.
With a 'swish', he turned into an eerie blue Afterimage and rushed out.
"Heh, too slow, Boy~~"
Facing Yahiko, who pounced like a Cat.
Tengen Uzui casually dodged the Attack and appeared beside Nagato.
At the same time, he bent his upper Body backward, smoothly avoiding the blue fire Tail's strike.
He then used the Sword Hilt in his Right Hand to strike the back of Yahiko's neck, preparing to knock him out directly.
But he found that more Blue Flames surged from Yahiko's Body, seemingly trying to force him back using this method.
"Not a bad Idea, but unfortunately, too weak~"
Tengen Uzui didn't bother with the Paper Shuriken Konan hurriedly threw again.
He directly 'Hardened' a layer of Armament Haki on his right arm and Nichirin Blade.
Enduring the burning of the Blue Flames, he struck Yahiko's neck heavily with a 'bang'.
With this strike.
Yahiko only felt a Severe Pain first, and then fell into Darkness.
At the same time.
Tengen Uzui's Body was forcibly pulled over by an invisible Strength.
"Yahiko!!"
"Universal Pull!"
Nagato glared angrily with his purple Rinnegan and let out a Roar.
He had just thought that Yahiko's Two-Tails Flames could force Tengen Uzui back.
So his Reaction was a beat slow.
Unexpectedly, this directly resulted in Yahiko being knocked out before he even had a chance to enter Partial Tailed Beast Transformation.
"So that's it, this is Gravity?"
Tengen Uzui, who was forcibly pulled into Mid-air and faced with attacks from Paper Shuriken, remained calm.
After all, he had known about Nagato's Means for a long time.
Ōnoki's previous serious injury was actually due to being caught off guard.
He had never expected anyone to be able to forcibly pull him down from the Sky.
Even less did he expect another 'Shinra Tensei' to follow right after.
But despite this.
If Nagato and the others hadn't left immediately at that time, they would have been 100% in trouble.
Although Ōnoki was injured at the time and his back was strained...
It didn't mean he didn't have the Ability to continue Combat.
On the contrary, Nagato here simply couldn't use 'Shinra Tensei' a second time.
No choice, he was too young right now...
"Sound Breathing, First Form, Sound Burst... Roar!"
The two Gold Blades in Tengen Uzui's hands did not slash downwards at the Ground this time, but instead struck each other heavily in front of him.
The faces of Hotei, Fukurokuju, Takumi, and the other Hidden Sea Jonin who saw this scene changed drastically, and they all turned into Afterimages, pulling back a Distance of nearly a hundred meters in all directions.
Instantly.
A deafening Loud Noise exploded In the Court with a 'dong'.
That overly intense Sound Wave.
Actually formed visible Shockwave Ripples in the Air.
This was the Power of the Technique Tengen Uzui achieved by combining Sound Breathing, Nichirin Exploding Blade, and the Sound-Wave Fruit Ability.
Even a light touch was enough to make one's eardrums ache.
Let alone a heavy strike of the Blades like this.
The Paper Shuriken that approached first shattered into pieces in Mid-air the moment they came into contact with the 'Ripple'.
Then, like a Wave, they surged towards Nagato and Konan in a mighty torrent.
Of course, the Speed of sound is extremely fast.
These descriptions were all 'Screen Feed' from Nagato's Eyes.
Nagato stepped forward and stood in front of Konan.
He raised his hands forward, facing Tengen Uzui.
"Shinra Tensei!"
The Power of the Rinnegan surged violently within him, transforming into a powerful, surging Repulsion, pushing forward along his arms.
Instantly.
The invisible Repulsion turned into a vast Air Current and collided with the rolling Sound Waves in the form of Ripples In the Court.
[Roar!!!]
An unimaginable, earth-shattering Rumble echoed throughout the entire area.
The terrifying Strength instantly shattered the Ground.
At the same time, gusts of Gale swept out in all directions.
Making the Hidden Sea Ninja in the distance struggle to maintain their Figures in the fierce wind.
From the Result, it seemed the two sides fought to a Draw.
The Repulsion and Sound Wave canceled each other out...
However.
Nagato was already covering his Eyes, kneeling on the Ground in Suffering.
"Nagato!!"
Konan ran to his side in extreme anxiety, "Are you alright?!"
But Nagato couldn't answer her now.
He only felt that the Chakra in his Body was about to be drained, and his head was throbbing with waves of Severe Pain.
"You've done your best, just sleep for a while first."
At this moment, Tengen Uzui walked over.
He casually dodged the Kunai Konan desperately stabbed at him, and then used his Palm to knock Nagato unconscious.
"So, do you want to faint with them, or stay conscious and watch them?"
Tengen Uzui calmly looked at Konan, whose Cheeks were flushed with Anger.
"Ah, this..."
Konan was stunned on the spot.
Her beautiful, light orange Eyes were filled with hesitation.
"Alright, you seem like a smart Girl too. Go and help up the boy named Yahiko."
Tengen Uzui's handsome face showed a friendly Smile.
He was always gentle towards Women.
"Don't worry, I truly have no intention of harming you. You will know everything when we get to Rōran~"
Konan was Conflicted for a moment.
Finally, biting her pink lips, her Eyes shimmering with tears, she turned and ran towards Yahiko, who was still unconscious on the Ground.
She was so scared, so powerless, but she knew she had to be Strong now.
"It's okay, it's okay, Yahiko, Nagato, we will definitely be together Eternal, whether in Life or death..."
Konan, only twelve years old, cried as she held Yahiko and whispered.
"Eh? Why do I feel like I've become a bad guy who bullies children?"
Not far away, Tengen Uzui helped up Nagato's weak Body and joked about himself.
At the same time.
The Commotion in the Land of Fire territory recently was truly too great.
And it came wave after wave.
First, Aramaki fought against Konoha's ten thousand Ninja Army.
Immediately after, Aramaki fought against Hashirama Senju and Senju Tobirama.
Then later, Kuzan and Hashirama Senju met in the south.
Finally, just now, Aramaki teamed up with the Nine-Tails to forcibly blast open the Uchiha Flame Formation.
Each time was earth-shattering, echoing throughout the entire Land of Fire.
This caused the Citizens in the various Cities, Towns, and Villages to be panicked and Unease, living like years in a day.
Those living in the Capital City of the Land of Fire were the most scared.
After all, compared to other small places.
They could receive more Information.
Therefore, they had more or less heard about the general origin of these commotions.
Even some Truth about the World Government.
After all, almost all the Ninja in Konoha already knew about the Otherworld Matter.
This was over ten thousand people, it was impossible to completely block the News.
Just as the Atmosphere Inside the City was filled with panic.
Many Citizens and Samurai were surprised to find that a thick Purple Mist had, at some unknown time, enveloped the entire outer area of the Daimyo Palace Castle.
From inside, unsettling Screams and Killing Sounds were occasionally heard...
"Someone is attacking!"
"Quick, protect the Daimyo!!"
This made the Samurai outside the Fortress react immediately.
They all drew the Long Sabers from their Waist and rushed into the Purple Mist.
They were fine at first, but as they ran, they found themselves getting dizzy and having headaches. At the same time, their Breathing became increasingly difficult, and finally, in a Dazed state, they fell to the Ground one after another, powerless.
Inside the wide Palace within the Daimyo City.
Twelve Able-Bodied Youth men, wearing their casual clothes but each with a 'Fire' character belt tied around their Waist.
Were leading a group of Samurai whose Blade were wrapped in Blue Chakra, protecting the Daimyo of the Land of Fire, who was almost scared stiff, in the center.
And their Opponents were men and Women in black, dressed in Suits or Professional Skirt Suits.
"Who are you people, daring to attack this Daimyo City!"
One bald man dressed as a monk shouted angrily, questioning them.
Although he had actually guessed it in his Heart...
"Is this the so-called 'Twelve Guardian Ninja'?"
"Finish them off quickly before I clean up the other places."
"After all, our Mission is Assassination."
Suddenly, although no one In the Court spoke.
A detached voice appeared and entered everyone's ears.
"Yes, Captain Amatori!!!"
"Understood, Captain~"
The twenty CP8 Members, led by Levi, Lubbock, Sheele, Mashiro Moritaka, and others, answered in unison.
Only Meilard, this woman who had just been transferred from CP1, who was extremely charming and incredibly sexy, seemed different.
But no one cared, after all, she was considered the Strongest Combat Power on the scene.
(End of this chapter)
At the border between the Country of Rain and the Land of Birds.
This place was a major spectacle in the Ninja World, like the dividing line between the 'Yellow Sea' and the 'Bohai Sea'.
To the west, the Land of Birds was clearly sunny and clear, but to the east, the Country of Rain was covered in dark clouds, with continuous rain.
Of course, it occasionally didn't rain in the Country of Rain. Only then did the skies of the two countries appear connected.
"Yahiko, Nagato, look, it's raining ahead, we're almost home!"
Konan, twelve years old this year, wearing a grey-black Chunin Vest.
While supporting the weakened Nagato with Yahiko, she looked at the distant dark Sky Color and said excitedly.
For her, although the Country of Rain was damp and cold, it was the shared home of the Three Little Ones.
"Yeah, but Yahiko, have you thought about how to face Hanzo?"
Nagato asked softly, looking tired.
For him, who was also only twelve years old, the consumption of the Rinnegan was truly somewhat unbearable.
This was thanks to his Uzumaki Physique; an ordinary Child would have died long ago.
"There's nothing to think about. He was the one who abandoned us then, he should be the one to explain."

Coupled with the current Situation of Amegakure and Hanzo, they had no Ability to investigate outside Intelligence.
"Yahiko, have you ever thought that, taking advantage of Hanzo's serious injury this time, we..."
Nagato looked at Yahiko, hesitating to speak.
He felt that with his Rinnegan and the Opponent's Two-Tails.
They should have the Ability to defeat the current Hanzo, and then the Three Little Ones could control Amegakure.
Although they were only twelve or thirteen years old...
"No."
Yahiko shook his head and refused without hesitation.
"Although Hanzo treated us as pawns, we all knew the Situation at the time. He himself lost an arm, which is completely understandable."

On the deltoid Muscles of his two exposed, thick arms, he wore a circle of large Gold bracelets.
Crucially, the other person's appearance, combined with his wine-red Eyes and deep Gaze.
Not only did it not give people a feeling of 'Earth'.
Instead, it looked like he had a gorgeous, noble temperament.
As for the other Ninja around, they were all somewhat odd-looking.
"Sea Ninja Village, under the CIPHER POL Headquarters of the World Government."
"That is our origin, and I am a Jonin of the Sea Ninja Village, 'Sound Hashira' Tengen Uzui."
Tengen Uzui curiously sized up the three Youngsters before him.

Tengen Uzui spread his Palm and said helplessly, "This is our Mission. Since you are also Ninja, you should be able to understand, right? So, can you please cooperate..."
"We can understand, but we cannot cooperate!" Yahiko said in a deep voice.
At the same time, he said to the Two-Tails inside him, "Sister Matatabi, can you help me one more time?"
"Okay, be careful."
Matatabi's gentle voice appeared in Yahiko's mind.
It must be said, Matatabi was probably the easiest Tailed Beast to communicate with.
The next moment.
A Blue Light flashed in Yahiko's Eyes.
Immediately, wisps of eerie Blue Flames with black spiral Markings appeared out of nowhere on his Body.
Finally, a floating blue fire Tail formed behind his back.
"Is that the Power of the Two-Tails..."
Tengen Uzui raised his hands and slowly drew the black and gold Twin Swords from his back.
The twenty Hidden Sea Ninja around him, including Hotei and Yazaemon, also prepared to Attack.
For a moment.
The Atmosphere In the Court became incredibly oppressive.
And behind everyone was the continuously raining Country of Rain territory.
The 'pitter-patter' sound of rain kept drifting into the sunny Land of Birds territory.
"Jonin, attack when the Timing is right! Chunin, monitor the surroundings to prevent interference from other Ninja!"
Tengen Uzui shouted loudly.
As soon as his voice fell.
He stomped his foot, and as the Ground cracked, his Figure instantly blurred, leaving only an Afterimage in place.
"Fire Rat Ball!"
"Paper Shuriken Jutsu!"
Yahiko and Konan attacked simultaneously.
The former spat out a rat-shaped Blue Fireball from his mouth.

"So that's it, this is Gravity?"
Tengen Uzui, who was forcibly pulled into Mid-air and faced with attacks from Paper Shuriken, remained calm.
After all, he had known about Nagato's Means for a long time.
Ōnoki's previous serious injury was actually due to being caught off guard.
He had never expected anyone to be able to forcibly pull him down from the Sky.
Even less did he expect another 'Shinra Tensei' to follow right after.
But despite this.
If Nagato and the others hadn't left immediately at that time, they would have been 100% in trouble.
Although Ōnoki was injured at the time and his back was strained...
It didn't mean he didn't have the Ability to continue Combat.
On the contrary, Nagato here simply couldn't use 'Shinra Tensei' a second time.
No choice, he was too young right now...
"Sound Breathing, First Form, Sound Burst... Roar!"
The two Gold Blades in Tengen Uzui's hands did not slash downwards at the Ground this time, but instead struck each other heavily in front of him.
The faces of Hotei, Fukurokuju, Takumi, and the other Hidden Sea Jonin who saw this scene changed drastically, and they all turned into Afterimages, pulling back a Distance of nearly a hundred meters in all directions.
Instantly.
A deafening Loud Noise exploded In the Court with a 'dong'.
That overly intense Sound Wave.
Actually formed visible Shockwave Ripples in the Air.
This was the Power of the Technique Tengen Uzui achieved by combining Sound Breathing, Nichirin Exploding Blade, and the Sound-Wave Fruit Ability.
Even a light touch was enough to make one's eardrums ache.
Let alone a heavy strike of the Blades like this.
The Paper Shuriken that approached first shattered into pieces in Mid-air the moment they came into contact with the 'Ripple'.
Then, like a Wave, they surged towards Nagato and Konan in a mighty torrent.
Of course, the Speed of sound is extremely fast.
These descriptions were all 'Screen Feed' from Nagato's Eyes.
Nagato stepped forward and stood in front of Konan.
He raised his hands forward, facing Tengen Uzui.
"Shinra Tensei!"
The Power of the Rinnegan surged violently within him, transforming into a powerful, surging Repulsion, pushing forward along his arms.
Instantly.
The invisible Repulsion turned into a vast Air Current and collided with the rolling Sound Waves in the form of Ripples In the Court.
[Roar!!!]
An unimaginable, earth-shattering Rumble echoed throughout the entire area.
The terrifying Strength instantly shattered the Ground.
At the same time, gusts of Gale swept out in all directions.

But Nagato couldn't answer her now.
He only felt that the Chakra in his Body was about to be drained, and his head was throbbing with waves of Severe Pain.
"You've done your best, just sleep for a while first."
At this moment, Tengen Uzui walked over.
He casually dodged the Kunai Konan desperately stabbed at him, and then used his Palm to knock Nagato unconscious.
"So, do you want to faint with them, or stay conscious and watch them?"
Tengen Uzui calmly looked at Konan, whose Cheeks were flushed with Anger.
"Ah, this..."
Konan was stunned on the spot.
Her beautiful, light orange Eyes were filled with hesitation.
"Alright, you seem like a smart Girl too. Go and help up the boy named Yahiko."
Tengen Uzui's handsome face showed a friendly Smile.
He was always gentle towards Women.
"Don't worry, I truly have no intention of harming you. You will know everything when we get to Rōran~"
Konan was Conflicted for a moment.
Finally, biting her pink lips, her Eyes shimmering with tears, she turned and ran towards Yahiko, who was still unconscious on the Ground.
She was so scared, so powerless, but she knew she had to be Strong now.
"It's okay, it's okay, Yahiko, Nagato, we will definitely be together Eternal, whether in Life or death..."
Konan, only twelve years old, cried as she held Yahiko and whispered.
"Eh? Why do I feel like I've become a bad guy who bullies children?"
Not far away, Tengen Uzui helped up Nagato's weak Body and joked about himself.
At the same time.
The Commotion in the Land of Fire territory recently was truly too great.
And it came wave after wave.
First, Aramaki fought against Konoha's ten thousand Ninja Army.
Immediately after, Aramaki fought against Hashirama Senju and Senju Tobirama.
Then later, Kuzan and Hashirama Senju met in the south.
Finally, just now, Aramaki teamed up with the Nine-Tails to forcibly blast open the Uchiha Flame Formation.
Each time was earth-shattering, echoing throughout the entire Land of Fire.
This caused the Citizens in the various Cities, Towns, and Villages to be panicked and Unease, living like years in a day.
Those living in the Capital City of the Land of Fire were the most scared.
After all, compared to other small places.
They could receive more Information.
Therefore, they had more or less heard about the general origin of these commotions.
Even some Truth about the World Government.
After all, almost all the Ninja in Konoha already knew about the Otherworld Matter.
This was over ten thousand people, it was impossible to completely block the News.
Just as the Atmosphere Inside the City was filled with panic.
Many Citizens and Samurai were surprised to find that a thick Purple Mist had, at some unknown time, enveloped the entire outer area of the Daimyo Palace Castle.
From inside, unsettling Screams and Killing Sounds were occasionally heard...
"Someone is attacking!"
"Quick, protect the Daimyo!!"
This made the Samurai outside the Fortress react immediately.
They all drew the Long Sabers from their Waist and rushed into the Purple Mist.
They were fine at first, but as they ran, they found themselves getting dizzy and having headaches. At the same time, their Breathing became increasingly difficult, and finally, in a Dazed state, they fell to the Ground one after another, powerless.
Inside the wide Palace within the Daimyo City.
Twelve Able-Bodied Youth men, wearing their casual clothes but each with a 'Fire' character belt tied around their Waist.
Were leading a group of Samurai whose Blade were wrapped in Blue Chakra, protecting the Daimyo of the Land of Fire, who was almost scared stiff, in the center.
And their Opponents were men and Women in black, dressed in Suits or Professional Skirt Suits.
"Who are you people, daring to attack this Daimyo City!"
One bald man dressed as a monk shouted angrily, questioning them.
Although he had actually guessed it in his Heart...
"Is this the so-called 'Twelve Guardian Ninja'?"
"Finish them off quickly before I clean up the other places."
"After all, our Mission is Assassination."
Suddenly, although no one In the Court spoke.
A detached voice appeared and entered everyone's ears.
"Yes, Captain Amatori!!!"
"Understood, Captain~"
The twenty CP8 Members, led by Levi, Lubbock, Sheele, Mashiro Moritaka, and others, answered in unison.
Only Meilard, this woman who had just been transferred from CP1, who was extremely charming and incredibly sexy, seemed different.
But no one cared, after all, she was considered the Strongest Combat Power on the scene.
