Bring Deidara.
Invade the Hidden Mist Village.
Capture every Jinchūriki in one decisive strike.
This was a once-in-a-lifeti opportunity.
Shigure was not in the village.
If Shigure were present, Obito would never dare to act.
After all, Shigure alone was more than enough to give Akatsuki a brutal fight.
"So many Jinchūriki…" Obito muttered, his voice filled with delight.
"I should thank Lord Mizukage. Gathering so many Tailed Beasts in one place for us…"
"This saves us the trouble of hunting them down one by one."
His figure slowly faded into nothingness.
At the sa ti—
Above Konoha Village.
The Deva Path of Pain hovered silently in the sky, his cloak fluttering in the wind.
"Let the world know pain," he declared.
"Everything begins now."
Inside the Hokage Tower, Tsunade suddenly stiffened.
An inexplicable sense of unease surged through her chest.
For reasons she couldn't explain, she walked to the window and looked up.
A tiny black dot hovered above the village.
The mont she saw it, Tsunade froze.
"What… is that in the sky?"
An ANBU shinobi appeared instantly behind her.
"In the sky?"
He followed her gaze.
The next second, his pupils shrank.
That black dot—
Was a person.
"A person… floating?"
"Notify everyone imdiately!" Tsunade barked.
"Find out what that thing is!"
Her instincts scread danger.
This feeling—
It was unmistakably ominous.
"Nine-Tails," a cold voice echoed.
"Where is it?"
Two figures appeared before her without warning.
The Human Path of Pain stepped forward.
Nearby, the Asura Path revealed itself as well.
The mont Tsunade saw their eyes, her breath caught.
Rinnegan…
Those eyes—
She knew them.
One of the three war orphans Jiraiya had once taken in, a child of the Uzumaki Clan, possessed these legendary eyes.
The Rinnegan.
The eyes of the Sage of Six Paths.
But now—
Two people stood before her, both bearing them.
How was this possible?
Had the Rinnegan truly beco so common?
"Who are you?" Tsunade demanded.
The Human Path smiled faintly.
"Who am I?"
"I…"
"…am the one who brings peace to this world."
anwhile—
In the forests of the Hidden Cloud Village.
The Two-Tails' Jinchūriki, Yugito Nii, sprinted at full speed.
But thick Wood Release vines erupted from the ground, lashing toward her relentlessly.
They wrapped around her body, tightening like iron chains.
"Wood Release?!" Yugito cried out.
"How is that possible?!"
That power—
The power that once pacified a war-torn world—
Why had it appeared again?
Worse still, these vines possessed terrifying suppressive force against Tailed Beast chakra.
The mont Yugito was bound, her strength was completely sealed.
She couldn't break free.
"Who is it?!" she shouted.
"Who's attacking ?!"
But no one answered.
She couldn't see the enemy.
Couldn't sense them.
Her frustration bordered on madness.
Damn it!
"Hahaha…"
"What a pitiful sight."
A mocking voice echoed through the forest.
"So this is the power of a Tailed Beast?"
"Can't even withstand an attack of this level?"
Zetsu spoke—but did not reveal himself.
He remained hidden, observing Yugito's struggle from the shadows.
In Kumogakure, alarms began to spread.
"Lady Yugito Nii is missing!"
"Missing?! How could she disappear?"
"We've searched everywhere—she's nowhere to be found!"
Cloud shinobi scattered throughout the village, panic growing with each passing mont.
At the sa ti—
In the direction of the Hidden Mist Village…
Obito pointed toward the Hidden Mist Village.
"Your mission is simple," he said. "Create chaos. Cause as much destruction as possible and draw all their attention."
"The capture of the Jinchūriki will be handled by ."
Deidara shot him an irritated look.
"Hey," he snapped, "are you, the new guy, really talking to in that tone?"
"I'm your senior, you know."
Obito felt a wave of regret.
Pretending to be a newcor had been a terrible decision.
Now he had no choice but to play along.
"Yes, yes, yes," Obito replied quickly. "Senior is absolutely right. I'll leave it to you. You handle drawing attention, and I'll move the Jinchūriki to another location before capturing them."
Deidara's expression eased imdiately.
"Hmph. That's more like it," he said smugly.
"As your senior, I'll take care of the dangerous work."
Then he added with a grin,
"But be careful. Don't get yourself blown up by ."
Obito nodded. "Don't worry, Senior."
Riding his white clay bird, Deidara appeared above the Hidden Mist Village, scanning the area as he considered where to start.
But before he could act—
Several Water Bullets shot toward him in an instant.
Deidara reacted quickly, twisting midair and narrowly avoiding the attack.
"Tch! That was fast," he muttered.
"They found already?"
Even Obito, watching from the shadows, was surprised.
"The reaction speed of the Hidden Mist shinobi…"
"…this is beyond normal."
Inside the village, reports ca in rapidly.
"Two enemies detected! One airborne target!"
"The other was present earlier but suddenly vanished—chakra can't be detected!"
Nearby Hidden Mist shinobi nodded sharply and moved out at once.
i Terumī, the Fifth Mizukage, narrowed her eyes.
"An enemy invasion?" she scoffed.
"Does anyone really dare to attack the Hidden Mist Village at a ti like this?"
That was nothing short of courting death.
"Bastards who dare to attack my village…"
"All of you will die!"
White clay birds fell from the sky in waves.
Clay bombs descended toward the village below.
But in the next instant—
Several voices rang out at once.
"Ice Release—Ice Rock Do!"
Ice walls surged upward from multiple locations, connecting seamlessly to form a massive defensive barrier over the village.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The explosions shattered the ice, sending fragnts flying—but the village beneath remained completely unhard.
"Damn it!" Deidara clicked his tongue.
"So many Ice Release users?"
From the strength of that jutsu alone, these Ice Release shinobi were no weaklings.
Ice Release had formidable defensive power—ordinary clay bombs wouldn't be enough.
As Deidara analyzed the situation—
Suddenly, Water Release attacks surged again.
Six or seven Water Dragon Bullets roared upward, converging on him from multiple angles.
Suspended in the air, Deidara was practically a sitting duck.
"Damn it!" he cursed.
"So many Water Release shinobi too?!"
They were firing high-level ninjutsu without hesitation.
The Hidden Mist's response speed was terrifying.
With no other choice, Deidara descended rapidly toward the ground.
But the mont he landed—
Cold sweat broke out across his back.
Five or six shinobi surrounded him instantly, each wielding a ninja sword.
Their presence alone was oppressive.
These guys are strong…
Swish! Swish! Swish!
They charged without hesitation.
Deidara sneered.
"If you dare to rush …"
"Then be prepared to get blown to pieces!"
Boom! Boom! Boom!
A chain of explosions erupted.
White clay spiders scurried from Deidara's fingertips and detonated.
"Die for —"
The smoke slowly dispersed.
Several shinobi had been blown apart—flesh torn away, blood scattered everywhere—
But what remained visible beneath the wreckage made Deidara's pupils shrink.
Bones.
White, exposed bones protruded unnaturally from shattered bodies.
Deidara sucked in a sharp breath.
"Wait… don't tell …"
The Kaguya Clan?
A clan that was supposed to be exterminated…
And yet—
