Reborn into Naruto World with Tenseigan

Chapter 695: Different People on the Move

The two crows sitting on her left and right shoulder have been sent to her from Konohagakure and Kirigakure, and both of them have sent the scroll that mentioned that the trace of Danzō has been found, however, the difference is that, the location that the two scrolls’ mentions are different, meaning, there are two different locations where Danzō’s track has been found.

In the scroll that came from Kirigakure, the Yondaime Mizukage Yagura states that the Kirigakure Anbu have found Danzō’s track in the Land of Waterfall, and in the scroll that came from Konohagakure, Itachi states that they have found the trace of Danzō in the Land of Frost.

She believes that neither of the two locations is fake and both of them must have been deliberately leaked by Danzō… as for his purpose in doing so, ‘He is probably considering the possibility of the entire Amatsukami coming after him at once, so he intentionally leaked two locations in order to divide the people into two groups who are coming after him…’

She felt that this is the most logical explanation. This means that only one of the two locations is correct, while the other one only plays the role of diversion. Perhaps Danzō thinks that if only half the members of Amatsukami are coming after him, then even if he isn’t able to fight back, he should be able to make an escape should he want that.

As for whether Danzō is overthinking or he is right, that’s something only time will tell. The current issue for her is to identify which location is real.

“Which track is real?”

She pondered for a while, but to no avail.

Right now, the information she has in her hand is limited, there is no way to determine which of the two hiding places deliberately leaked by Danzō is the location where he is really hiding. Not reaching any definite conclusion, she gave up on trying to figure out his location.

Instead, she looked at her current position, this deserted island is from the group of islands located in the Haran Bay, the sea between the Land of Lightning and the Land of Hotsprings, as such this island is quite close to the Land of Frost and it would only take a few hours for her to reach the to there.

But the same condition doesn’t apply to the Land of Waterfall.

The Land of Waterfall and the Land of Frost are separated by three kingdoms including the Land of Hotsprings, the Land of Rice, and the Land of Iron, and there are only two methods to travel from the Land of Frost to the Land of Waterfall, the first method is to sail through Gaikotsu pass through the Land of Snow, and then again sail through the Aisu Bay and you will reach the Land of Waterfall, while the other method is to pass through the three kingdoms separating the Land of Frost and the Land of Waterfall.

Of course, she has the option of flying all the way too, but, regardless of which method she chooses because the distance between the two kingdoms is too large; it will definitely take more than two days to reach the Land of Waterfall even if she rushes at her fastest, there is a good possibility that by the time she arrives; Danzō might have already changed his location, so it would only be a wasted effort, therefore, the only logical choice for her is to go to the Land of Frost where she will be able to reach after a few hours of flying.

With this decision made, she instructed the clay bird flying at a high altitude to come down, she tied her Shinobi bag, then took out a scroll from it and unsealed it, a cloak and a mask came out of the scroll.

The cloak was a standard Amatsukami cloak, the only difference is that her cloak symbolized the Earth Chakra Nature, while the mask was a reddish-brown mask patterned with rocks, again symbolizing the Earth Chakra Nature.

After donning the cloak and mask, she instructed the clay bird to fly in the direction of the Land of Frost.

…

A few hours later, somewhere at the border of the Land of Iron and the Land of Waterfall.

A group of men and women wearing the black turtle-neck cloak with red cloud prints were meeting in a cave. There are seven people in total, of the ten, six have orange hair and black piercings, these six are undoubtedly the Six Paths of Pain, or perhaps it would be better to say that these six are the new Six Paths of Pain, the seventh person is the blue-haired cold beauty Konan, a.k.a. Angel.

Deva Path looked in the direction of the Land of Waterfall, and asked Konan who was standing beside him, “In the Land of Waterfall?”

Konan nodded, “The Land of Waterfall is one of the two locations where Shimura Danzō’s tracks have been detected.”

“Shimura Danzō…” Deva Path muttered with hatred in his eyes.

Shimura Danzō is also one of the culprits responsible for Yahiko’s death, Deva Path has always wanted to kill him, however, the old man is very clever, not once has a appeared before Akatsuki Organization, so Deva Path has never had the opportunity to kill him.

Similar to Deva Path, Konan’s eyes were also filled with anger, she said to Deva Path, “Nagato, actually, you don’t need to waste your strength on him… let me handle him, after all, at that time Hanzō and Danzō used me to trap all of you… So, it should be me who should avenge Yahiko.”

Deva Path shook his head, “There is a strong possibility that after having gone through Hiruko’s ritual his strength has far surpassed what you can handle… As such, I will do it myself, you only need to find his exact location, leave the rest to me.”

After all, the rumors about Danzo say that he has awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan, and has several other Kekkei Genkai, so Deva Path doesn’t want Konan to go into a battle that she can’t win.

Konan looked at Deva Path with a dazed expression… she was feeling a bit complicated.

Deva Path, completely oblivious of Konan’s thoughts, asked, “By the way, where is the other location?”

Konan returned to her senses and replied after a pause, “In the Land of Frost, you needn’t worry, ‘Madara’ is on his way.”

…

At the same time, somewhere at the border of the Land of Hotsprings and the Land of Frost.

Three people, two of them wearing masks, while the third one being half black and half white with a Venus Flytrap head, each wearing a black turtle-neck cloak with red cloud prints were sitting, standing, or playing on the rocks while waiting for someone. These three people are none other than ‘Madara’, Zetsu, and Tobi respectively while the person they are waiting for is none other than the clones of White Zetsu.

While waiting, ‘Madara’ asked Zetsu, “How is the situation on the other side?”

Zetsu replied, “Nagato himself didn’t come, he has sent the Six Paths of Pain, and Konan, so I am not sure how the situation on his side will proceed, but I think with Nagato’s current power, the Six Paths of Pain should he should be able to handle Danzo should they find him.”

‘Madara’ nodded slightly, then muttered, “I am really curious how did Danzo obtain the Mangekyou Sharingan… There are only two possible situations, either he is using Uchiha Kagami’s Mangekyou Sharingan as the rumors suggest, or, he has dug out those eyes from one of the Homusubi.”

Zetsu thought about it for a while, and questioned, “What do you think of the Kekkei Genkai Absorption Ritual he went through? Could he have awakened those eyes because of the ritual?”

‘Madara’ thought about it, then shook his head, “We have already been to the Volcano where he carried out his ritual, and although they were faint, there were traces of battle at the volcano that led to its eruption. I believe Danzo must have fought one of the two Homusubi there with his newfound strength after going through the ritual, and it’s quite possible that he somehow managed to dig out the Mangekyou Sharingan during that battle.”

Although Zetsu thinks that this is indeed possible, however, he found something amiss with this explanation, and said, “If was really the Mangekyou Sharingan of Homusubi, then I am afraid he would have been killed by them long ago, after all those guys are not easy to mess with!

And yet, he is alive even after a few months since then, and Amatsukami is completely silent, up until now, they have shown no signs of interest… this makes me wonder…”

Although ‘Madara’ wanted to deny Zetsu’s guess, however, he couldn’t. Regarding Amatsukami, he has the same feelings, those guys are not easy to mess with. If Danzo had really offended Amatsukami, then he would have been long dead by now with no trace remaining in the Shinobi World.

After all, he is perfectly aware of the strong measures of Amatsukami. Let’s not talk about Yama, who is one hell of a guy, with strength completely out of this world, there are also Suijin who can transform into a Giant Dragon, the second Homusubi, and Fujin who is probably stronger than the other two.

‘Yes, the Mangekyou Sharingan that Danzo has shouldn’t be of Homusubi, then perhaps the rumors are true, maybe he is using the Mangekyou Sharingan of Uchiha Kagami… hmm, if I were to obtain them, perhaps I will be able to tempt Uchiha Shisui…’ ‘Madara’ thought so, and was more determined to obtain that pair of Mangekyou Sharingan.

As for the possibility that he might have awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan with the help of ritual? ‘Madara’ didn’t even consider it. He has already once witnessed Hiruko’s ritual, although that ritual is something new, the only thing it is capable of is allowing users to snatch several Kekkei Genkai from others, it can not allow them to awaken or evolve a Kekkei Genkai!

As ‘Madara’ concluded his thought, the ground beneath Zetsu squirmed and a completely white figure–White Zetsu Clone–appeared out of the ground, “I had to be very careful else he would have spotted me; seems he has also developed some sharp sensory skills!”

‘Madara’ got up with a serious expression, and looked at the White Zetsu clone, “It doesn’t matter, tell me his location.”
