"This, this is …"
At the entrance of a valley in the Water Country, Ao was hiding behind a boulder with three ninjas. The veins in his right eye were slightly bulging, and the cold sweat on his back instantly soaked his clothes.
"Ao san, what's wrong?" A Mist ninja looked at Ao with a dignified face.
Not long ago, the Mist received information that there were foreign ninjas in the vicinity, and they were suspected to be in contact with Orochi Maru's men.
The Mizukage thought for a long time and decided to send Ao to investigate this matter.
Ao's Byakugan is a precious treasure of the Mist, and it has always been coveted by other countries. Now, the Cloud and the Rock were almost at war with the Mist. In this situation, even if Ao's perception was outstanding, Mei didn't send him out to investigate the situation.
However, the longer the situation drags on, the more dangerous it is for the Mist.
For such a long time, the Cloud and the Rock have been unscrupulous, and no one knows how much information they have collected about the Mist.
If this drags on, the Mist will expose more secrets.
In the face of such a dangerous situation, even if the Byakugan is precious, Ao had to do it.
However, Ao didn't expect that when he led the team to the valley and used the Byakugan to investigate, he didn't find any foreign ninjas nor Orochi Maru's men.
The person waiting for him in the valley was actually Orochi Maru!
"Orochi Maru!"
Ao ordered decisively: "Retreat! This is not an enemy we can deal with! "
"Hahaha …"
With a low and hoarse laughter, Orochi Maru revealed half of his body from the ground behind Ao, and a pair of snake eyes stared at them coldly.
"I have been waiting for you for a long time!"
Orochi Maru was wearing a beige kimono, and there was a grim smile on his pale face.
"Shadow Snake Hand!"
"Ah!"
…
When Hinata heard the news from the Water Country again, it was the afternoon of the second day after the meeting.
What happened in the Water Country was completely beyond Hinata's expectation. Hinata thought that the Mist would be the same as the Sand, and they would be severely ravaged by Orochi Maru.
Orochimaru made a fool out of everyone.
Yesterday, after receiving the signal from Apothecary's Pocket, the Rock and the Cloud acted at the same time. They sneaked into the Mist to cause destruction, and secretly sent an elite team to lurk in the Mist waiting for an opportunity to steal the Edo Tensei.
They all thought that Orochi Maru would cooperate with them, and everyone thought that Orochi Maru's purpose was to provoke the five villages' war.
Even if Orochimaru told Raikage that he wanted the Byakugan, Raikage always thought that Orochimaru was deceiving him.
After all, with the power of the Edo Tensei, Orochimaru can summon a few Kage level ninjas, and then attack the Mist Village from the front and kidnap Ao.
Especially after the collapse of the Sand Hideout's plan, Raikage felt that if Orochi Maru wanted to get the Byakugan, he didn't need to cooperate with the Cloud.
However, in fact, without Hinata's cooperation, Orochi Maru's strength was almost the same as two years ago.
Not to mention attacking the Mist, it would be good if Orochi Maru didn't get killed by the Mist.
No one thought that Orochi Maru's purpose was really just to get the Byakugan.
After killing three of Ao's teammates, Orochi Maru took the unconscious Ao and retreated from the Water Country.
Mei was also very cautious.
When she found out that the Rock and the Cloud acted at the same time, she didn't immediately launch a counterattack. Instead, she used most of the Mist's power to guard against Orochi Maru's surprise attack.
However, when she found out that Orochi Maru didn't act at all, the Rock and Cloud Ninjas who rushed into the Mist were miserable.
They were almost wiped out.
Even the operation to steal the Edo Tensei failed.
In fact, the Edo Tensei was indeed stolen by the Rock.
After seeing the tragedy of the Sand and understanding the power of Orochi Maru, Mei didn't want to keep the Edo Tensei. She even took the initiative to leak the information about the Edo Tensei and transferred the Ninjas who were guarding the Edo Tensei.
But Orochi Maru didn't come at all.
Without Orochi Maru, Mei, who reached a consensus with Shinobu, didn't need to be afraid of the Rock and the Cloud.
So, the Rock Ninjas who stole the Edo Tensei were surrounded by a large number of Mist Ninjas before they left the Water Country.
After all, the Water Country was the territory of the Mist.
In the Hyuga Residence, the high-level Hyuga Clan gathered again.
"Perhaps the situation now is much better than what we originally imagined."
After understanding Orochi Maru's actions in the Water Country, Hyōgo was relieved.
At least the Cloud and the Rock didn't really fight.
Such a loss wasn't a big deal for the Villages, but it was enough to make them angry, especially since they didn't get what they wanted.
Hyuga Hiashi analyzed, "The current situation is still stable. Next, the villages will be more secretive in their actions."
"But after this incident, the Villages will suffer a little loss, and with the Edo Tensei as bait, the secret battles will be more intense."
The Great Elder snorted: "But it will be easier to transfer the conflict to the negotiation table."
Hyōgo thought for a while and shook his head: "It shouldn't be that easy."
"At the beginning of the Five Kage Summit, the purpose of each side to keep a copy of the Edo Tensei was to prevent Shinobu from studying it."
"Once the Edo Tensei is made public, there will be an arms race about it, and the Major Villages will send Ninjas to find the tombs of the strongest ninjas in the world."
"The Fifth Hokage will never tolerate this!"
After a pause, Hyōgo continued: "But if everything goes back to the original state, whether it's the Sand Hideout or the Cloud, they won't be willing!"
The Sand won't be willing to suffer losses for nothing, and the Cloud won't be willing to give up the Edo Tensei in their hands.
At the same time, the Cloud won't be willing to maintain the status quo.
After all, they already have two copies of the Edo Tensei in their hands.
Hyuga Hizashi said, "Brother is right, the Land of Water should continue to be chaotic."
"… If the Mizukage is smart, she should give the Edo Tensei to other villages so that the Mist can get out of this dispute."
Obviously, Mei wasn't willing to give up the Edo Tensei in her hands.
Even if it's only a quarter of the Edo Tensei.
However, the complete version of the Edo Tensei is not weaker than the Bijuu.
What's more, if the Edo Tensei can resurrect the dead in their heyday, then some people will die of old age and battle, but they won't really die.
Immortality!
Ninjas will also grow old, but with the Edo Tensei, those ninjas can commit suicide in their heyday, and then let the ninjas in the village use the Edo Tensei to resurrect them.
When the Sand Hideout's plan collapsed, the Edo Tensei showed its true power in front of the world.
Many Shinobu Sato saw with his own eyes that My Love was fighting the Three Generations Kazekage while talking to the Three Generations Kazekage.
The wisdom, strength, knowledge, and self-awareness of the Three Generations Kazekage at that time was no different from a living person.
