Naruto: Starting with Tsunade

Chapter 468 Attack on Amegakure

For this mission, Aokiji specially gave Itachi a new eye. Combined with Tsukuyomi, whether facing Nagato or Obito, Amaterasu is a useless skill. He has never seen anyone in the original work who can be burned to death by Amaterasu.

Apart from a few small fry.

"It's simpler than I expected; I think I'll be able to get used to it in a little while."

Itachi Uchiha reached out and touched his right eye, feeling the power of his new eye.

It was the first time he had ever used these kinds of eyes, and it felt very magical.

"That's good... I'll get your new glasses back after this mission. In the meantime, let them help you adjust to your new eyes."

Before the battle officially begins, Aokiji still needs to do some preparations.

Itachi Uchiha nodded and said, "Yes."

……

……

Shikulin Forest.

A gigantic slug lay quietly on the ground. If you looked closely, another live slug was lying next to it, appearing small and delicate compared to the former.

It's not that this live slug is too small; on the contrary, it's actually quite large, standing tens of meters tall, but the former has an exaggerated size of over a hundred meters.

"Symphog, you're a tailed beast, what do you do all day? Why are you always sticking to me?" A soft, sweet voice came from the slug's mouthparts.

"Being able to follow behind Lord Live Slug is the most important thing I do all day long."

The Six-Tailed Saiken's voice was obsequious, displaying a servile attitude. If others were to witness this, they would probably be shocked to see the once-raging tailed beast acting this way.

The rhinoceros was initially unwilling to be placed here; why should it have to listen to a human?

However, after seeing the live slug, I suddenly realized it was actually quite good, since it was one of our kind. Then, as time went on, I found it surprisingly delicious.

The live slug was speechless for a moment, then suddenly regretted agreeing to Aokiji's request to let the Six-Tails stay here.

Just then, a voice chimed in, "Did I disturb you guys?"

Upon hearing this, the slug's two tentacles twitched, and its eyes reflected a figure: "Lady Tsunade..."

It was the slug who summoned Tsunade in reverse, so the slug wasn't surprised.

Tsunade looked at the other live slug and said directly, "Sykeken, I need to talk to you about something."

The rhinoceros dog, who was acting like a sycophant, was stunned for a moment. It was really rare for someone to come directly to him.

"I'm thinking of finding you a different place."

"What!" The rhinoceros was very unhappy when it heard that it had to move. "No, I don't want to leave Lord Live Slug."

Tsunade saw through the Six-Tailed Saiken's thoughts: "You really do like live slugs, huh?"

The Six-Tailed Rhinoceros is, after all, a head-tailed beast, and it still has to save face; "Uh, what I mean is, why change places when we're doing just fine here?"

"It's no longer safe here."

According to intelligence, Madara Uchiha will find this place soon. As a sage, Kusanagi is naturally extremely powerful, but he may not be a match for Madara Uchiha.

If the Six-Tails continues to be left here, not only will the Six-Tails and the Saiken be in danger, but the Slug may also be in danger, which is not something Tsunade wants to see.

Tsunade explained the prepared language to the Six-Tailed Saiken.

The rhinoceros dog indicated that it understood, its tone revealing a hint of reluctance: "Okay."

He didn't want the slug to be in danger because of his own actions.

Tsunade promised, "Don't worry, once we take care of that guy, we'll put you back here."

Hearing Tsunade's words, the Six-Tailed Saiken felt relieved: "Should I leave now?"

Tsunade shook her head: "I'll find you a new place after this battle in Amegakure is over."

……

the other side.

The Land of Water, the Hidden Mist Village.

Mei Terumi walked along the road, strolling through the village. After a series of changes, the former Blood Mist Village no longer existed; now, only prosperity remained.

They killed the daimyo, thinking that governing the country would be difficult, but they later found it to be much simpler than they had imagined.

It's not that they governed so well; it's just that the daimyo in the past governed so badly that it made them, as novices who had just taken over, seem to govern exceptionally well. Plus, they were able to learn by doing in the Land of Flames, so everything went so smoothly.

Just as she was feeling sentimental, a shadow suddenly appeared in front of her and said a short sentence.

Mei Terumi frowned slightly and rushed to the location she was notified of. All the high-ranking officials of the Land of Water were present in the room, as was that man.

Seeing his arrival, Mei Terumi was slightly surprised: "Lord Aokiji, what brings you here?"

Aokiji smiled slightly: "Of course, it's something important."

"Important matters?"

Aokiji looked at everyone present and placed his hands on the table: "Since everyone is here, I won't waste any more words. I need your help."

Upon hearing that Aokiji was seeking help, the high-ranking officials of the Land of Water were somewhat surprised. It seemed that something very difficult was going to happen to a man like him who would take the initiative to ask for help.

Aokiji told him everything about Madara Uchiha's resurrection.

"W-what?!"

The most surprised person to hear this was a master from the same era as Madara Uchiha.

"I have accurate intelligence. Madara Uchiha plans to collect all the tailed beasts and is currently looking for the Six-Tails. If he finds it, he will trigger a full-scale war. Therefore, I must strike first."

Mei Terumi exclaimed in surprise, "This is absolutely unbelievable!"

"If I could, I would also hope this isn't true," Aokiji said. "You don't have to rush to agree to my request, but before that, I want you to confirm one thing with me."

"What's wrong?"

"I want to use the Impure World Reincarnation to revive your past Kage."

Upon hearing that Aokiji intended to use the Impure World Reincarnation technique to desecrate the modern-day Kage, even when facing Aokiji directly, someone on the spot expressed their dissatisfaction: "What? This is not allowed!"

Aokiji glanced at it indifferently with its scarlet eyes.

The man was stunned. If Aokiji really wanted to take it by force, no one present could stop him.

"Why are you so nervous? I promised my wife I wouldn't do anything reckless." Aokiji closed his eyes, the blood-red color fading.

"What's the reason?" Master Yuan asked, leaning on his cane.

Aokiji recounted how the First and Second Hokage on his side had been resurrected by Madara Uchiha.

Yuan Shi frowned, his expression tense: "So, you want to know if any of the past Kage were resurrected by Madara Uchiha?"

"Yes."

After pondering for a moment, Master Yuan nodded in agreement: "Alright..."

The high-ranking officials of the Land of Water asked in surprise, "Are you really going to do this, Master Yuan...?"

He feared that Aokiji would use this to gain control of the past Kage, making his already invincible power even more difficult to deal with.

Master Yuan coughed and looked at Aokiji.

"After resolving the current crisis, I will voluntarily remove the impure world of the three Kage."

Aokiji understood and made a promise: "Even if you don't believe me, you should believe Tsunade."

Tsunade was far more trustworthy than Aokiji, and only after hearing this did the high-ranking officials of the Land of Water reluctantly agree.

After obtaining permission, Aokiji began to use the Impure World Reincarnation technique to summon the past Mizukage. Tragically, all three past Mizukage were resurrected and taken away by Madara Uchiha.

Aokiji discovered a pattern: the Kage that Madara Uchiha resurrected all seemed to be strong figures from his own era.

"How could this be..."

Upon witnessing this scene, the high-ranking officials of the Land of Water were filled with shock.

Aokiji sighed: "If nothing unexpected happens, I think the Kage of the other three countries have also been resurrected by Madara beforehand using Edo Tensei."

Upon hearing this, the Water Kingdom's expression turned even more grim.

"So, do you believe me now?"

"What do you want us to do?"

"It's simple. I want you to send men with me to launch a surprise attack on Amegakure."

Aokiji made his request, and also offered a reward: "Of course, I won't let you help me for nothing. If I have the chance, I will take back the Samehada sword and return it to your village."

Yuan Shidao, the leader of the Water Kingdom, asked, "Do you plan to invite other villages as well?"

"I have grudges with other villages, and I think I made a proposal about this during the Five Kage Summit, but those guys seemed afraid that I would become too powerful, so they rejected the proposal."

Master Yuan nodded.

In the past two years, Aokiji had planned to invite other villages to a secret Five Kage Summit, intending to wipe out Amegakure with a group of people.

But Wind, Thunder, and Earth fear that after destroying Amegakure, they will be discarded like a used tool, and turn their guns on the three countries.

The presence of Pain's Rinnegan in Amegakure, a third force, could provide a temporary balancing effect.

Aokiji continued, "Besides, if we bring too many people, what if Payne tries to run away as soon as he sees us? Moreover, I don't really believe that those three villages might try something underhanded against me."

Master Yuan asked, "Aren't you afraid we'll use underhanded tactics on you?"

"You have a grudge against Xiao, don't you?"

Aokiji laughed and said, "Besides, your country and my country are allies who share common values."

The Land of Flame and the Land of Water maintain good trade relations, and sometimes the Land of Flame even suffers losses.

Aokiji didn't say one more thing: if it were just the Land of Water's rebellion, he still had the ability to maintain control of the situation.

After all, he planned to send all his top-tier combat power there this time, not just to watch.

After careful consideration and weighing the pros and cons, the Grand Master nodded in agreement.

The Land of Water sent Mei Terumi, Zabuza Momozono, and Raiga Kurosuki.

Incidentally, after Kirigakure killed the Daimyo of the Land of Water and declared himself king at Aokiji's instigation, they brought Raiga Kurosuki back to the village, explained the situation to him, and brought him back into the ranks of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of Kirigakure.

For this reason, Aokiji even apologized to Raiga Kurosuki, after all, he had really messed things up for him and made him take the blame for a lot of things.

Aokiji glanced at the three of them and sighed, "Your village is really shabby now. Is this all the people you have?"

Zabuza retorted angrily, "Hey, Aokiji, don't go too far. We've already been very generous of you by helping you."

If they hadn't been tricked by that masked man, how could their village have been reduced to just these few elites?

Aokiji suggested, "To increase the mission's success rate, would you mind if I used the Impure World Reincarnation technique to summon some of your people...?"

"What!?"
