Chapter 71 The Blood-Red Water Kingdom
Within the Land of Water, a scene of utter devastation unfolded.
The Root ninjas' attacks swept through a bloodline clan's camp like a storm, filling the air with a strong stench of blood.
The village was littered with wreckage, and blood had stained it a bewitching yet chilling red.
All the Root ninjas remained calm and indifferent, showing no emotion whatsoever.
They swiftly and methodically carried out Danzo's plan, completely looting all the family secrets in the village, and quickly sorting and organizing the resources and supplies.
During this period, Daimyo Prefecture was also completely wiped out by Danzo...
In Daming Prefecture, there are many bloodline families that are actually the supporters behind Yuan Shi.
Danzo acted swiftly and decisively, taking the initiative to eliminate unstable factors within the Land of Water in order to quickly gain control over the entire country.
During my time away from Konoha...
Danzo's Root was like a sharp blade, conquering six bloodline clans in the Land of Water, rapidly expanding its power, and recruiting a large number of wandering ninjas as new Root members.
Danzo's goal was very clear; he had only one objective...
Take control of Kirigakure and seize complete control of the Land of Water.
By directly locking onto the Fourth Mizukage through Kotoamatsukami, he can use Kirigakure as a base to radiate influence across the entire ninja world.
Therefore, in order to ensure the success of the operation, he chose a special roundabout route, specifically to eliminate the core family power of the village elder Yuan Shi's faction.
These eliminated families were the direct descendants of the Yuan Master who had long supported him and secretly opposed the Water Shadow.
Especially after the daimyo's prefecture was also wiped out, the Land of Water descended into even greater chaos.
Danzo's strategy worked effectively. As he approached Kirigakure step by step, the opposing forces were completely crushed, and he was about to achieve his goal.
As Danzo led the Root organization closer to the outskirts of Kirigakure...
Space suddenly distorted, and an illusory vortex appeared out of thin air. Obito, wearing a vortex-shaped mask, slowly appeared in front of Danzo.
The masked man during the Uchiha clan massacre?
Danzo coldly looked at the masked man in the sky: "Who are you?"
Obito slightly raised his head, his eyes beneath the mask revealing a faint chill: "I am Uchiha Madara."
Upon hearing this answer, Danzo smiled slightly, his voice carrying a hint of sarcastic meaning: "Madara? What brings you here all of a sudden?"
Obito made no attempt to conceal it; the Sharingan beneath his mask emitted a crimson light.
"Danzo... the Mizukage is in my hands."
"Although I am in charge of the Fourth Mizukage, Yagura, the situation in the Land of Water is complex, with constant open and covert conflicts. It is impossible for me to personally control the overall situation at all times."
At this point, Obito revealed his true purpose...
"And you are more adept at these political struggles and family feuds, so it is the perfect person for you to take over Kirigakure."
Danzo did not rush to express his opinion upon hearing this, but instead stared quietly at Obito.
Obito continued coldly, "Many potential threats within the Land of Water have been dealt with by you, including the Daimyo."
Obito's tone was very calm, but his words carried obvious praise and approval.
Danzo advanced relentlessly, wiping out six clans; his ruthlessness and efficiency were unmatched by ordinary ninjas.
Danzo certainly had unique skills and rich experience in political struggles and purging internal forces.
As for his name...
Danzo was even more extreme than Tobirama, dealing with him cleanly and efficiently. After all, the entire Daimyo's household in the Land of Water had nothing to do with Danzo.
Staring at Obito in the sky, Danzo's Sharingan spun continuously: "From now on, I'll be in charge of managing Kirigakure. At the very least, this chaotic state in the Village of Bloodstained Mist needs to end."
Obito nodded upon hearing this...
Danzo smiled upon seeing this, gripping his cane even tighter...
Meanwhile, inside the Land of Water.
Deep in a forest, Itachi Uchiha was leaning against a huge dead tree with difficulty.
His face was extremely pale, and a dark cloth band was wrapped around his forehead, from which traces of blood were faintly seeping.
During this period, regardless of day or night, Itachi Uchiha was repeatedly tormented by nightmares, leaving him extremely weak and gradually approaching the limits of his mental and physical health.
Juzo Biwa has sent multiple requests for help to Pain...
The situation in the Land of Water is becoming increasingly dangerous...
It could even descend into chaos...
Black Zetsu then emerged from the shadows...
Recently, Black Zetsu and White Zetsu clones have been traveling around the ninja world, gathering intelligence and information.
Tobirama Senju was resurrected using the Impure World Reincarnation technique, causing great upheaval within Konoha's leadership. Danzo defected, and Konoha was even burned down...
Behind all this information is Uchiha Abyss, the source of the corruption of the Sharingan.
Even Black Zetsu, a thousand-year veteran of the ninja world, had never seen such a strange Sharingan before. He couldn't even fathom Uchiha's thoughts...
Even Itachi...
They've been tortured like this now.
To his surprise, a strange third Sharingan had appeared on Itachi's forehead.
Those eyes were a chilling, scarlet red, radiating a sinister and unsettling light, seemingly silently watching Black Zetsu.
In this situation, Black Zetsu slowly spoke, "I really didn't expect that Itachi... you could actually resist Uchiha Abyss's curse and corruption."
Upon hearing this, Itachi's eyes flickered slightly. He struggled to lift his head, and after recognizing Black Zetsu...
"No matter what... I must persevere until Sasuke grows up..."
Black Zetsu knew that Sasuke Uchiha was the reincarnation of Indra, and that he possessed an extremely special will and power of destiny, and would not be easily corrupted by the curse of Uchiha Abe.
The weasel before them was already on the verge of collapse, as if it would be completely devoured by the curse at any moment.
That support was just that pitiful willpower...
However, we absolutely cannot let Itachi get hurt right now...
And so, Black Zetsu finally made his decision.
He slowly reached out and separated a part of the White Zetsu body from his own body, slowly approaching Itachi.
The White Zetsu cells, like liquid life, gradually merged with the Itachi's body, forming a strange yet effective balance.
In the instant of fusion, the strange one-tomoe Sharingan on Itachi's forehead seemed to sense some kind of resisting force, and slowly closed, temporarily entering a dormant state.
Two completely different cursed powers devoured and neutralized each other within the Itachi's body, eventually reaching a fragile balance.
Uchiha Itachi took a few deep breaths, and the excruciating pain in his forehead and the torment of the nightmare gradually subsided, his chaotic mind slowly regaining its clarity.
Slowly opening my eyes, my long-strained nerves finally relaxed at this moment.
Things have stabilized for now...
"What's with the Sharingan on your forehead?"
"I encountered the masked man..."
Obito?
That idiot... I can't believe he's still in the Land of Water?
"He should be in the Land of Water now..."
Itachi Uchiha said with some difficulty, "Considering the information about Danzo's invasion of the Land of Water, it seems the masked man and Danzo might be cooperating. Should we inform the leader?"
Tell Payne...
With the power of his Rinnegan, he might be able to defeat Danzo and the masked man.
Release the controlled water shadow...
Thinking of this, Black Zetsu slowly picked up the ring in his hand and contacted Nagato.
"The leader... Danzo and the masked man are both in the Land of Water."
P.S.: Available this weekend! Don't forget!
