Naruto: Starting with Tsunade

Chapter 435 Kidnapping

A wooden latch was placed on the huge iron gate.

Aokiji examined the iron gate, wondering if the bolt should normally be on the inside.

Orochimaru chuckled, "If we go in, it will attract the attention of the people inside. What should we do then?"

"It doesn't matter, we can just barge in."

Before officially entering, Aokiji gave his final instructions: "Proceed according to plan."

Itachi understood and said, "I understand..."

With Aokiji and Orochimaru unable to unleash their full potential, he becomes the core damage dealer.

In the center of the room is a small pool.

An elderly man and woman sat facing each other, each holding a fishing rod, fishing for fish in the pond.

The man's name is Ebizo, and the woman's name is Chiyo. They are siblings. In their youth, they were renowned ninjas who were active on the battlefield. Now, they are old and have retired to the background, no longer concerned with worldly affairs, and spend their days fishing.

With a headscarf wrapped around her head, Ebizo spoke in an aged voice: "Sister, it seems someone has brought food."

Chiyo, holding a fishing rod, said, "Are you senile? Who would bring food at this hour?"

"Aren't you older than me?"

"Ha ha……"

"Hmm, wait, the footsteps and aura are a bit off..." Chiyo frowned. Although she was getting old, her ninjutsu, honed through countless trials, would not decline with age.

"Hmph... He's an old man, but he's quite perceptive."

A playful tone, seemingly polite but actually sarcastic, rang out, echoing in the room like a thin mist.

Ebizo and Chiyo looked over at the same time and saw three figures dressed in black and red fiery cloud-patterned clothing standing prominently at the door.

Chiyo narrowed her eyes, her wrinkles deepening, and her gaze fell on the tall, muscular man with a shark-like face among the three.

She still has many informants in various countries and hasn't completely shut herself off from what's happening around her. She doesn't know two of them, but she does know this person.

Chiyo revealed the identity of one of them: "Kisame, one of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist."

Aokiji mimicked Kisame's tone, jokingly remarking, "Looks like I'm pretty famous after all."

Seeing that the three were dressed in matching outfits, Chiyo knew without a doubt that they were a group: "What exactly is the purpose of a guy like you showing up here?"

"In short, it's impossible to visit elderly people living alone..."

After a brief opening remark, Aokiji quickly formed hand seals.

A dazzling series of movements were executed, and the chakra gathered in his throat was expelled to form a giant water sphere.

Water Release: Great Waterfall Technique.

We must act swiftly; the longer we drag this out, the more information will be exposed.

"Young people really don't understand respect for the elderly and care for the young at all..."

Chiyo and Ebizo jumped to the left and right respectively, dodging the attack. At the same time, they had time to take out a scroll, pull it hard, and with a thud, several puppets appeared suddenly with white smoke, just in time to stop the slashing Japanese sword.

Chiyo flicked her finger, manipulating the puppet with an air of effortless ease: "The old man isn't so easy to defeat."

Having said that, his eyes were fixed on the black eye deep within the mask, as if trying to see through the other party. But in the next second, the black pupil instantly turned red, and curved dart-shaped pupil patterns appeared.

Chiyo instinctively sensed something was wrong.

But it was too late. If it were an ordinary illusion, she could still react, but this was Tsukuyomi. As long as she saw the eyes, she would be affected.

Under normal circumstances, there is only one way to break free from this attack: one's pupil power must be higher than the attacker's.

Clearly, Chiyo lacked the necessary qualifications, and within moments she collapsed to the ground, unconscious.

"elder sister--!"

Ebizo was shocked. He knew better than anyone how strong his sister was; she was still one of the strongest in Sunagakure. He never imagined that she would be killed in a single exchange.

Mission accomplished, Itachi bent down, ready to lift Chiyo's body.

Ebizo, of course, couldn't just stand by and watch his sister be taken away, so he manipulated the puppet to rush towards Itachi.

"I won't let you have your way."

Orochimaru appeared just in time to block Ebizo, and Itachi took the opportunity to take Chiyo away and immediately retreated.

Aokiji withdrew one after another, followed closely by Orochimaru.

Ebizo knew that even if he caught up with them alone, he would be no match for the three of them, so he immediately activated the alarm and began the pursuit.

The three of them raced all the way to the canyon, which was the only way to leave Sunagakure. Upon receiving the news, the Sunagakure ninja intercepted them.

"Who goes there?!"

A Sunagakure ninja shouted at the top of his lungs.

As Aokiji ran, he quickly formed hand seals and spat out a huge water ball.

Water Release: Great Waterfall Technique

However, this was not the end. Itachi, who had entrusted Chiyo to Orochimaru beforehand, joined forces with Aokiji to unleash a Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique.

The water and fireballs appeared to be attacking Sunagakure, but in reality, it was a feint. The two forces collided in mid-air, creating a large amount of white smoke.

"Stop them."

Just as a Sand Village squad leader finished shouting, he was stunned. A group of people rushed out of the smoke, broke through the Sand Village's defenses, and the graveyard split into four, each fleeing in a different direction.

meeting room.

The man with short brown hair slammed his fist on the table, venting his frustration.

Although he has an ordinary-looking face, he is no ordinary person. His name is Rasa, the renowned Fourth Kazekage.

The abduction of the Sand Village's high-ranking officials by three people of unknown origin was not only a resounding slap in the face to the leader, but also to everyone present.

A depressing atmosphere filled the room.

Maki, a close associate of Rasa, whose head was wrapped in a turban and covered half his face, broke the silence: "Lord Kazekage, the investigation has yielded results."

Luo Sha's face remained calm, indicating that he should continue.

"It's the Sharingan..."

Rasa was taken aback: "Sharingan?"

Based on the investigation results, Maki elaborated in detail: "Yes, judging from the memories of the deceased, the masked guy among them obtained the location of the two elders through the Sharingan."

Upon hearing this, Ebizo silently lowered his head.

Luo Sha noticed this and immediately asked, "Elder Hai Bizang, do you have any clues?"

"Now that you mention it, I noticed it too. That masked guy's eyes were quite unique, though his pupils weren't the three-tomoe shape..."

Luo Sha's expression froze for a moment: "Not in the shape of a three-tomoe jade?"

"It's probably the legendary Mangekyou Sharingan," Ebizo remarked. "No wonder my sister was defeated so quickly without any information."

Someone at the scene remarked, "Speaking of the Mangekyou Sharingan, the only person known to possess it right now is probably that person..."

Rasa snorted coldly, "Hmph, regardless of whether it was him or not, this matter is definitely related to the Uchiha clan."

Upon hearing this, the people present looked at each other, unsure of what to do.

That guy is not to be trifled with. As the Hokage, his path is completely the opposite of that of previous Hokage.

If previous Hokage followed a path of benevolence and righteousness, emphasizing harmony, then this generation's Hokage has taken a completely violent path, adopting an attitude of "those who obey me prosper, those who oppose me perish."

Upon taking office, he immediately killed the daimyo of the Land of Fire, and did so in full view of everyone, beheading him as a public spectacle.

Although a reason was given, a discerning person can see that this reason is actually quite untenable, and even a bit far-fetched.

Uchiha Aokiji's true intentions are known to all.

After all, with your rise to power, the nobles of the Land of Fire have either died or fled, which is quite intriguing.

Someone asked timidly, "Um, Lord Kazekage, what do you want?"

"So?" Luo Sha said firmly, "Of course we need an explanation."
