Chapter 532 Upside Down
Nagato did not ask exactly where in the Land of the Sea it was. When he arrived, he simply came to the place where the towering war god had once descended.
Sure enough, he saw that familiar figure squatting on the rocks by the sea.
He was still fishing.
Pain approached by stepping across the slippery rock surface, without speaking first.
He glanced down at the bucket next to him.
empty.
Shuji's eyes were fixed on the buoy on the sea surface, seemingly unaware that someone else had appeared beside him. Tendou waited a few more moments, the buoy bobbing a few times in the waves, but remained motionless.
Are you just putting on an act?
Shuji remained silent.
Nagato saw through it all: "Can't catch it?"
Xiu Si immediately stood up and shoved the fishing rod into Tian Dao's hand.
Because the movement was so natural, Tiandao subconsciously took it.
Before he could question the logic of this handover, he felt a force from the deep sea yank the fishing line.
The force was considerable.
With a flick of his wrist, chakra flowed down the rod. A white wave burst across the water, and a large fish with bluish scales was pulled directly out of the water, bounced twice on the rocks, and then lay still.
Shuji then said, "Using chakra while fishing is cheating."
Heaven ignored it and threw the fish back into the sea: "Boring."
"—If you don't use chakra, you definitely won't be able to catch anything," Shuuji insisted.
"Using a fishing rod like this, without the protection of chakra, you are completely powerless to contend with a fish of this size," Tendo said. "Moreover, you couldn't even get the fish to bite the bait just now."
Nagato suddenly felt like he had won something. He wasn't sure what it was, but it didn't feel bad.
He asked, "What are you trying to say?"
Shuji stretched out his hand and pointed to the top of his head: "In your current state, can you escape the environment of the ninja world?"
Heaven remained silent.
"Now that we've tracked the intelligence down to the Ōtsutsuki clan, shall we go take a look?"
"In this day and age, there are still beings who bear the name of the Otsutsuki clan. Let's see what kind of power they actually possess."
Heaven watched him intently: "You found them?"
"We identified one company a few years ago, but at that time they were considered moderate, so our approach was to observe them."
"Now, their attitude has changed, but to be honest, I have no way of confirming the specific reasons."
"So I won't blame it on you."
Although it's said this way, it's actually an open statement that Konoha suspects the changes are related to the Akatsuki organization.
Nagato didn't want to investigate the truth of that statement, because it was unimportant compared to the current existence of the Otsutsuki.
Jue told him that there were even more terrifying things in the world.
"That is an enemy that the current leader and organization, or even the United Affairs Bureau, cannot face."
"We need even greater power."
"Both you and Lord Madara's goal is to bring greater peace to this world."
"Under this premise, we still share a common goal, Payne."
The conversation with Jiraiya confirmed this.
However, he still hadn't made a complete decision, which is why he chose to issue a formal announcement instead of taking advantage of the relatively amicable relationship between the two sides to launch a sneak attack.
"The range of Pain's Six Paths is limited," Nagato said. "Whether my main body can move that far still needs to be confirmed."
Shuji took out a small bottle from his pocket, inside which a pale green liquid sloshed.
"If it's within the ninja world's territory, not too far from the Land of Fire, it can be resolved quickly without even leaving the ground."
"You only run away when you're unlucky."
"These are Hashirama cells. With your eye power, controlling them shouldn't be a problem. Whether they're reliable or not, you can take them back and verify for yourself."
He threw the bottle over.
"I will wait here."
"There's still some time before the moon gets close."
Tiandao took the things and left.
Xiu Si looked up at the sky. Sooner or later, Shiro would lose his patience. He would, and the person who was handling this matter would not.
The fact that Nagato is willing to come at least shows that we haven't completely fallen into the opponent's rhythm yet.
However, Nagato's departure from the Land of the Moon also means that the controllability of the remaining Akatsuki members will continue to decline during this period.
Kakashi is in charge of this issue, and the representatives of the Joint Affairs Bureau have been holding frequent meetings lately.
On the surface, nothing seemed amiss, but privately they had already exchanged views on defense matters several times.
The focus remains on the Land of Wind and the Land of Earth, which are important strategic resource points. However, this information has not yet been released, just like the matter of the Bamboo Clan.
Fortunately, the Joint Affairs Bureau only needs to deal with relatively conventional impacts, excluding those involving Nagato, which is something the five great ninja villages are capable of handling easily.
A week later, the moon seemed to have changed; it looked a little bigger.
At first, no one mentioned it. Everyone was thinking that it might be atmospheric refraction or an optical illusion.
The next day, the moon appeared even larger.
Inquiries poured into the Joint Affairs Bureau from within the ninja village. Some inquired privately, while others questioned openly.
As far as Kakashi knew, the Five Kage Summit was about to begin, but Shuji had not yet returned.
However, considering it was a video conference, his teacher Minato Namikaze could also use his transformation technique to get through it.
It shouldn't be that it gets exposed.
At this juncture, the secrets that Konoha wants to keep, and the secrets that may soon be exposed, will likely only increase.
If each village weren't focused on the research findings on White Zetsu and Tailed Beast Chakra, and if they weren't convinced that they had made some progress, the light from their allies would likely be even sharper than it is now.
Director Hatake leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes for a moment.
Attacks from the coast have become more frequent in recent days.
According to intelligence gathered from the front lines, a structure resembling a flying fortress has appeared in the skies above the target area. However, it is not the Anker Bandian recorded in previous files, but rather some unknown weapon with similar power.
The Joint Affairs Bureau's forces had to be redeployed again.
"So, are you still going to choose to graduate early, Sasuke?" Kakashi asked his student. "A war might break out soon, you know."
Uchiha Sasuke merely glanced at him indifferently before choosing to leave work and go home.
Sasuke, you've become a boring adult.
The silver-haired Jonin felt a little disappointed, then he opened the window, looked at the rising moon, and stared at it for a long time.
Something moved.
From above, the speed is very fast.
Kakashi stepped back, his headband already pushed up.
A figure hung upside down through the open window, and Sharingan suddenly lit up in the darkened office.
"Hmph, you haven't improved at all, Kakashi."
The silver-haired Jonin's hand stopped at the edge of his headband. In his heterochromatic eye, the three tomoe and the inverted Sharingan stared at each other silently.
