Nagato's abilities are indeed very strong, and Obito wouldn't deny that, but he doesn't think Nagato can have any impact on him!

The reason he can't deal with Shūzawa is because Shūzawa also possesses spatial abilities, just like he suffered at the hands of Minato Namikaze back then.

But Nagato's eyes aren't even his own, and using that power is like burning his life force.

More importantly, he doesn't have the ability of space ninjutsu at all, which won't have any impact on Obito.

Therefore, moderately enhancing Nagato, making him a target to constantly fight Shūzawa like dogs, is his greatest wish.

After all, he has suffered quite a few losses at the hands of Shūzawa, and he is also a little unable to hold on.

"How is it, Nagato, do you feel better?"

Inside a secluded underground chamber within the Hidden Mist Village, Konan looked at Nagato and asked with some concern.

"Don't worry, I've recovered, I'm fine."

Nagato nodded, even though his face was still a little pale, he was indeed mostly recovered.

He glanced at the surrounding environment and suddenly sneered.

"That black Zetsu seems to be very familiar with the Hidden Mist, avoiding all the barriers and bringing us in silently.

At the same time, he chose such a suitable location for us. What kind of role do you think this guy plays within the Hidden Mist Village?"

"I'm afraid things won't be simple."

Konan said concisely, after all, she had never trusted Black Zetsu and Obito, and everything was worthy of suspicion to them.

Moreover, in this situation, it's hard for them not to have a special feeling, perhaps they are being asked to 'fight with their lives'.

"Perhaps, they have already grasped Shūzawa Zhiyuan's information, and that guy may have already appeared within the Hidden Mist."

"It's very possible, I heard Kakuzu say that they want to investigate Uchiha Obito."

Nagato nodded, then suddenly cast a soundproof barrier before speaking in a low voice.

"So, assuming the information is correct, and I have always suspected that the person who calls himself Uchiha Madara is Uchiha Obito.

What role do you think they are playing while hiding in the Hidden Mist?"

"This…"

Konan couldn't help but frown upon hearing this, after all, this was a bit beyond her comprehension.

"I don't know, but this has nothing to do with us, but I think this will be a good opportunity.

After all, our purpose in coming here is for Shūzawa Zhiyuan, and if we can't see him, I'm afraid we won't be able to complete the task."

"That's right, this may be our best and last chance in this operation."

Nagato also nodded in agreement, but at this moment, a loud alarm suddenly echoed through the night sky!

This piercing alarm was clearly audible even though they were hidden in the underground chamber.

At this moment, they all knew that troublesome things were about to begin.

"Bastard, to actually do this to me…"

Within the Hidden Mist Village, Zabuza looked at his subordinates behind him, as well as the Hidden Mist Anbu disguised as his subordinates, and cursed inwardly!

To attack the Mizukage, there needs to be a reason, or in other words, someone needs to light the fuse.

As for whether the person who lights the fuse lives or dies, it depends on the subsequent situation.

And Zabuza, unfortunately, was a perfect fit in every way, and at the same time, his information was exposed by Shūzawa, so this 'great mission' was naturally entrusted to him!

"This is different from what I thought…"

Zabuza originally thought that he would most likely be going to jail, or at least be served in the Anbu's 'private room', but these were not big deals.

With his skills and his group of subordinates, he was confident that he could escape in the chaos.

Moreover, Genshi and Mei Terumi also 'recognized' his claim that he wanted to rebel against the Mizukage for the sake of the village, but now, being asked to do such a thing directly made him a little unable to hold on.

"A bunch of backstabbing dogs…"

He glanced at those Anbu who were disguised as his subordinates and already poised to strike, and shook his head helplessly.

Genshi said that these Anbu were here to help him, but no one would believe such words!

Helping might be possible, but they were also monitoring him.

"Lord, it's almost time."

Just as he was thinking, a 'subordinate' came to his side and whispered a reminder.

"I think we should act too, shouldn't we?"

"Mm…"

Forcing himself to suppress the urge to strangle the guy in front of him to death, Zabuza nodded lightly.

Since things had come to this, he had to make a decisive decision. He turned his head to look at everyone behind him, and then said in a low voice.

"Everyone, I think you are all mentally prepared.

The Mizukage is tyrannical and incompetent, treating the entire Hidden Mist as a plaything, the upper echelons are fighting, the blood mist is spreading, and the entire Hidden Mist has become riddled with holes!

As a member of the Hidden Mist, we must do something to save our own home.

Everyone, are you ready?

Tonight, we will change the Hidden Mist, change history!"

"We will follow your orders!"

At this moment, whether it was the disguised Anbu or Zabuza's original subordinates, they all responded in unison.

Regardless of the purpose, there must be a result tonight.

The moonlight was hazy, and with the arrival of the night, the temperature of the Land of Water, surrounded by the sea, still dropped.

The mist gradually appeared and became denser and denser. Bathed in the thick fog, the Hidden Mist Village seemed so peaceful tonight.

And Shūzawa and the others were hidden on a mountain peak near the Hidden Mist, quietly watching the village below.

However, while observing the situation below, Shūzawa quietly reached out and took Yūgao's hand.

"Are you cold?"

Shūzawa tilted his head and asked softly.

"We are ninjas."

Yūgao tugged lightly, but when she found she couldn't pull away, she stopped moving.

"Are you still angry with me?"

Shūzawa blinked, asking in a low voice, but Yūgao rolled her eyes.

"I'm not that childish. I can tell what's important."

That's what she said, but Yūgao felt a little jealous in her heart. Even if Shūzawa's choice was the right one, why didn't you come to me?

It must be said that ninjas are indeed calm sometimes, especially Anbu ninjas.

If it were someone else, they might have the thought of 'I was here first'.

Unfortunately, Shūzawa really wished someone would think that way.

"The situation was urgent at the time, and you guys didn't go far."

Shūzawa smiled, but his gaze followed downwards. However, Yūgao was constantly looking at Shūzawa, and this action was instantly noticed.

"What are you looking at!"

Yūgao scolded softly, pinching Shūzawa's hand hard at the same time.

Although the voice sounded harmless, Shūzawa obediently withdrew his gaze.

"It's nothing, why are you so agitated?"

Shūzawa pursed his lips, but just as he was about to say something more, Jiraiya suddenly leaned over.

"Hey, you two should at least pay attention. This isn't the time for sweet talk, and that Sand Village girl is watching."

Jiraiya spoke while gesturing with his mouth, and his eyebrows were constantly twitching, looking particularly comical.

Yūgao was a little embarrassed when she heard the first half of the sentence, but she simply stopped moving after hearing the second half.

Shūzawa raised his eyebrows and smiled indifferently.

"Tonight's mission is quite dangerous, maybe... Forget it, I won't jinx it.

In any case, the mission hasn't even started yet, and we've been waiting for Captain Jiraiya's orders.

Without the captain's orders, how dare we move?"

"Yes, Captain Jiraiya, we are waiting for orders."

Tenzo was completely Shūzawa's little fanboy. Originally, coming from Root, he was like a blank sheet of paper.

Spending a few years with Kakashi might have led him down the original path, but coincidentally, he met someone who also came from Root and had the same abilities as him.

He didn't need to consider at all; he knew who he should learn from. As a result, he gradually became 'like Shūzawa'.

"You two little brats are really annoying."

Jiraiya was a little overwhelmed. He glared at Kakashi, who had dead fish eyes.

"Hey, Kakashi, aren't you his captain? You should manage him!"

Kakashi chuckled dryly and directly grabbed Tenzo's collar, returning him to his original position to stand by.

This bizarre scene left Yōkai, who was beside them, somewhat dumbfounded.

"That's Jiraiya, one of the Sannin of Konoha?"

At that moment, Jiraiya's reputation plummeted in Yōkai's heart, but she quickly shook her head.

"Maybe he's reducing the pressure on his own people before the battle."

Yōkai thought uncertainly. After all, Shūzawa, that guy, although he respected Jiraiya, he had done a lot of things to trick him.

They were chatting and laughing, while inside Kirigakure, it was silent.

There were almost no pedestrians on the dark streets. The continued search operation sent a large number of ninjas to the outside of the village.

In addition, due to the Blood Mist policy, the night in Kirigakure was desolate and silent. All that could be seen was a dead silence.

Only the occasional barking of dogs and the crying of babies could make people feel that the village still had some vitality.

Buzz—

However, at this moment, shadows suddenly appeared on the originally silent streets.

These shadows were like ghosts, silently and quickly shuttling through the thick fog of Kirigakure.

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"

Before long, a shrill wail suddenly came from the direction of the Mizukage Building.

This wail pierced through the silence of Kirigakure. Immediately afterwards, curses, roars, and various explosions and sharp alarms sounded in the sky above Kirigakure!

"Has it finally started?"

On the mountaintop, Shūzawa and the others, who had been playing around, instantly entered a state of alert.

Looking at the wisps of fire appearing in Kirigakure, Jiraiya's expression also became serious. He said in a low voice.

"It seems that we have to take action again this time. Let's proceed according to the original plan."

"Everyone, I only have one request for this operation."

"Rather than the success of the mission, I hope that everyone can return safely, so you must protect yourselves, understand?"

"Then, let's go!"

"This is really troublesome. I didn't expect to encounter such a thing in Kirigakure."

Inside Kirigakure, Orochimaru and Kakuzu were quickly approaching the Mizukage Building.

After entering Kirigakure, they did not gather together. After all, everyone was a powerful ninja, so they naturally had their own confidence.

Although there was a meeting point, they would not be together on weekdays. They would also quietly gather various information in Kirigakure.

Whether it was suitable for them to do something or to facilitate their retreat.
