"Is it about to begin?"
"Kill them, or let them go and take accurate information out..."
"According to Naruto's idea."
["Give the ninja world some time to prepare."]
"Ideally, we could form a coalition army, so... we could wipe them all out in one fell swoop."
[Tobirama Senju murmured.]
I've lost all interest in relaxing here.
Very busy.
[I'm really busy!]
Even when Konoha was newly founded.
[As other ninja regions across the land began to follow suit.]
He's never been this busy.
[and...]
That inherently evil Uchiha brat... he really did put him inside the Tsukuyomi to work.
[Cows and horses?]
Even "robot" doesn't do it justice!
[In the outside world, only a day and a night have passed.]
In reality...
Tobirama Senju has been working non-stop for a month now...
It's a miracle he's not insane.
[Now. ]
[Tobirama Senju senses someone approaching.]
The first image that comes to mind.
[I'm not as rational and calm as I just thought.]
Instead...
[Standing on the head of her always-lazy older brother.]
[Ride the wooden dummy and charge out for a good fight.]
[Let's greet each other with a multiplicative detonating tag right from the start!]
Tobirama Senju: "..."
A month?
A month?
Only a day and a night have passed...
Tobirama Senju: "I knew it!"
Tobirama Senju: "That brat!"
Uchiha Sasuke: "Shut up!"
Uchiha Sasuke: "The Second Hokage of the Senju clan, born evil!"
Tobirama Senju: "..."
Tobirama Senju: "You born evil Uchiha brat!"
"I never expected this!"
"We're still able to keep working at our desks!"
"I won't do anything that would make me feel guilty~"
"I've just been a lot busier."
"It's good to be busy, otherwise I'll be gaining weight."
"But our treatment has increased several times over, it's much more comfortable now."
"Luckily, we're both normal, otherwise this position would really have been taken by someone else."
"Dream on!"
Kotetsu and Izumo chatted casually.
[His brush moves like a dragon or a snake.]
[The system is registering people entering and exiting.]
[They sat on either side of the main gate of Konoha.]
One table and chair per person.
So busy I can't even lift my head.
However, they were chatting and laughing.
Suddenly, Konoha's two gatekeepers froze.
[A moment later.]
[Izumo Kamui frowned and said:]
"Hey buddy, someone just went in?"
"No, right?" Gangzi Tie looked up at the people in front of and behind him.
He then replied with a frown.
"That's strange."
"Why did you seem a little disoriented for a moment?"
[Upon hearing this.]
[Steel was silent for a moment.]
He then shook his head and said:
"Don't worry."
"Since we're safe, even if something did happen... it was just an attempt to infiltrate Konoha."
["only..."]
As they spoke, Kotetsu and Izumo exchanged a glance.
They laughed in unison.
[Ahem~]
"Don't laugh, we'll practice more later."
"Otherwise, if something really happens, let alone defending ourselves, our very survival will be in trouble."
"That makes sense."
[...]
[at the same time. ]
Two unexpected guests arrived in Konoha.
[It was Itachi Uchiha and Kisame Hoshigaki who had silently infiltrated Konoha.]
The two acted as if they didn't exist.
The people around them completely ignored them.
After wandering aimlessly for a while...
[When Kisame Hoshigaki was getting a little impatient.]
Itachi Uchiha stopped in his tracks.
I found a teahouse and went in to sit down.
Kisame Hoshigaki frowned slightly.
[I wonder what Itachi Uchiha is up to this time.]
But they still followed them inside.
[After entering.]
Itachi Uchiha ordered two cups of tea.
He then sat still in the chair.
Kisame Hoshigaki glanced at the shopkeeper.
Then she chuckled softly:
"Mr. Itachi."
"Are you afraid no one will find us?"
"Or are you trying to convey a message?"
"You, Uchiha Itachi, are still alive?"
Itachi Uchiha still has that deadpan expression.
Kisame Hoshigaki picked up his teacup and took a small sip.
"Looks like I was right."
"In that case... I'll have to keep a certain distance from you."
"I harbor absolutely no hostility towards Konoha, the Village of Whirlpools, as it stands today."
Kisame Hoshigaki revealed a mocking smile.
[But actually, the reason he came here was...]
[This was also because they received orders from 'Uchiha Madara'.]
[Investigate the true state of Konoha.]
[Confirm whether the information circulating recently is true.]
[to be honest. ]
If it's fake, that's fine.
If it's true...
Kisame Hoshigaki closed his eyes and remained silent.
[Silently refining chakra.]
Prepare for a desperate battle.
"They're here!"
Kisame Hoshigaki suddenly opened his eyes.
[Whoosh—]
[The next moment.]
Kisame Hoshigaki vanished from the spot.
[What surprised Kisame Hoshigaki was...]
Itachi Uchiha was actually one step faster than him.
Then, the two of them moved swiftly across the rooftops in perfect unison.
However, Itachi Uchiha soon stopped.
Kisame Hoshigaki didn't want to get involved and went to complete his assigned task.
However, I still glanced back at it.
But then it was seen that Itachi Uchiha had already activated his Sharingan.
[And, that face that looks like it has facial paralysis.]
A look of utter disbelief appeared on his face.
[Following Itachi's gaze.]
[From afar, it came into view.]
There is a gigantic building that looks like an arena being demolished.
And from this angle.
At first glance.
You can also see the four wooden stakes standing in the center of the arena.
[It looks like there are people tied up above.]
Kisame Hoshigaki frowned.
He didn't know who those four people were.
But what could make Itachi Uchiha show that kind of expression?
[It seems that the Third Hokage of Konoha and the Dark Lord of Konoha must be among them.]
Kisame Hoshigaki's lips curled slightly.
"Itachi-san's expressions seem quite varied."
[Look at the fate of those four people.]
Kisame Hoshigaki has confirmed a few things.
Since that's the case...
[run! ]
There's nothing to hesitate about.
It's not shameful.
[What if the enemy is the God of Shinobi?]
Running is nothing to be ashamed of.
[Even escaping is something to brag about.]
Behind him, Itachi Uchiha seemed to have come to his senses as well.
[Immediately follow Kisame Hoshigaki.]
Kisame Hoshigaki: "..."
Don't come any closer!
"The plan has changed." Itachi Uchiha's expression darkened slightly.
This is the outcome it least wanted to see.
It can accept that the information from Konoha is true.
The Konoha F4, who once ruled Konoha, have been overthrown.
[It has even been completely cleaned up.]
But it couldn't accept that the four people were treated that way.
Furthermore, judging from the Sharingan, the villagers who threw rotten eggs and vegetable leaves at the four of them did not seem to be forced.
[And then there are the crimes inscribed on the walls of the arena.]
Itachi Uchiha felt inexplicably sad.
This is tantamount to judging it as well.
In particular, it saw one.
[That beast of the Uchiha clan, Uchiha Itachi, just like these four old bastards, I will personally bring him here!]
[It's obvious without even thinking that it was written by its foolish little brother.]
