As night fell, the temperature dropped, and the fog that enveloped the settlement increased.
The village was very quiet at the time, with every shop closed, lights turned off, windows tightly shut, and no pedestrians, beggars, or animals in sight, it seems that every soul in this community has disappeared, leaving nothing but empty cities and insects behind.
However, this seclusion and silence seemed to be the calm before the storm.
Whooshing sound…
Suddenly a shadow appeared past the top of one of the many residences.
wussss
Two more shadows passed after the one in the foreground.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh
Many shadows could be seen passing through one after another.
These shadows were moving at an extremely high speed, and some of them seemed to be splitting apart the thick fog without peeking, indicating that they were experts in Silent Assassination.
Their goal, based on their movements, was clearly the center of the village, the Mizukage Building.
"Damn it. They really did. Kill them all, none of them should live!" – These words destroyed a peaceful night and seemed to indicate the beginning of a full-scale battle.
Several iron symphonies from the impact of metal, the sound of water gurgling, the sound of ninjutsu screaming, the sound of explosions, collapsing walls, and collapsing houses, as well as the heartbreaking screams of people, were heard, it could be heard in the middle of the battle zone around Kirigakure for the next few seconds.
'Did it really get to this?' This is the only thought in the minds of some Kirigakure shinobi who still owe their village devotion and are willing to die for it.
"Hmm, Block 4, Block 7, Chew, Block A in the east, Block J in the south, sip..." Tsukihi muttered, "Block 9 at the western end. "
Tsukihi was sitting on top of a house, dangling her legs from side to side and eating Dango dumplings carelessly. Regardless of his relaxed demeanor, his body was hard to see in the dark due to his chakra that fused to a minimum, as well as his current clothes.
He was wearing a black Kunoichi battle outfit under a short black robe, not his Homusubi disguise. A black beaked crow mask and a pair of double-edged blades named Oto and Kogarashi are attached to both sides of his waist. Overall, she can now be described as Woman in Black.
Despite his relaxed demeanor, he paid close attention to everything that happened in Kirigakure; the mist did not block his vision because, like Itachi, he had eyes that could see through the mist.
"Have you found the location of Momochi Zabuza?" — Tsukihi asked the crow by her side, and the crow replied, "Yes, Tsukihi-san, but she doesn't seem to intend to present herself too soon."
"That's understandable; if he reveals himself too soon, this coup might fail." Tsukihi said, then added after the pause, "And did you manage to track down the others I requested? Kunoichi the Terumi Clan is named Mei."
"Yes, he directed his subordinates to fight against the followers of Momochi Zabuza, while several other shinobi under his leadership helped in the evacuation of the villagers," Itachi admitted.
"Alright, keep an eye on Momochi Zabuza and Terumi Mei" Tsukihi said after thinking for a moment. "There is no need to reveal yourself to any of them, and there is no need to intervene in their battles or whatever they do. I wonder what they both can do. Which of the two candidates is better suited to be the next Mizukage?"
…
“.....” – Itachi nodded, “OK,” after a short pause.
"Also, did you manage to track down Hoshigaki Kisame?" Tsukihi asked.
"No, he hasn't made himself known until now, and no one seems to know where he is. Could it be that he's not in Kirigakure?" itachi.
"...Did ya? Okay, no need to pay special attention to him; if you find him, watch him for a moment; otherwise, it doesn't matter; it doesn't matter." – Tsukihi said, then pondered, 'I wish I could bring Hoshigaki Kisame to Amatsukami because he is a trustworthy person, but it seems impossible today.' Perhaps Obito had already recruited him to Akatsuki? And if he is, I don't think anything less than Kotoamatsukami will be able to change his mind. Forget'. – Tsukihi ignores her strategy and returns her attention to the various battles that took place in Kirigakure.
Munch Munch Chew, chew, chew
In addition to the shinobi fighting and evacuated residents, there were signs of robberies in abandoned houses, closed shops, and the abduction of children and women. Tsukihi does not need to know who is responsible for the abduction of babies and women because they are the same individuals who have tried their luck on her, but to be honest, Tsukihi does not care.
His gaze was fixed on the Mizukage Building in the distance, where he waited for the commotion to grow large enough for him to use it for the purpose he had planned.
The right moment presented itself when he finished eating the last Dango: "It's time." – Tsukihi muttered as she stuffed the pointy needle containing Dango into her shinob bag, which she had been waiting for, wearing a crow beak mask on his face, and disappeared from his position in an instant.
Itachi on the roof also stretched out his crow wings and flew away as soon as Tsukihi left.
…
Tsukihi, on the other hand, avoided all battlefields after disappearing from that roof, and quietly crept into the Mizukage Building without being noticed.
"Damn it, someone has arrived...? Plop... One of the Left ninja protecting this area suddenly detected a shadow in front of him and decided to act, but before he could do anything, a dagger entered his chest, causing his cries. it suddenly stopped, and he fell lifelessly to the ground.
Pulling the dagger and wiping the blood from the blade, Tsukihi wondered loudly, 'Why is the perimeter defense so weak? What is Obito's real intention?"
Tsukihi went deeper into the Mizukage Structure, towards her destination, and soon she had inspected the entire building, but there was no evidence of Mizukage or Obito, making Tsukihi wonder, "Is it possible that Obito has left Kirigakure and taken Karatachi Yagura? withhim? Or did he not leave but have something else planned?"
'Hmm, there's still an underground floor...' Tsukihi reasoned and went to the lowest level of the Mizukage Building to look for an indication of the two on the underground floor.
There are several underground floors of the Mizukage Building, according to information taken from Anbu that Tsukihi handled a few days ago. Even Anbu Kunoichi did not know what was being held there, but could it be that Mizukage and Obito were there?
'However, where is the entrance to the basement floor?'
"It seems that the entrance is hidden.. does not mean that it matters.." – Tsukihi muttered and activated her Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan, and she found the secret door of the basement floor almost instantly.
He inspected the first two floors of the underground level and found nothing but a few disposable Anbu there, then he moved to the third floor and searched and found almost nothing until he got to the passageway in the deepest part of this level.
A group of shinobi stood at the end of the corridor, guarding a room of its own.
"What are the numbers one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, and eight...?" A separate room guarded by eight shinobi? And all this while the civil war was going on outside? Are Obito and Mizukage in place? He couldn't possibly be there, after all, there were so many shinobi standing guard here that I didn't imagine he would risk exposing himself to people he didn't trust. "There must be something else inside," Tsukihi concluded as she stared at the eight shinobi, Tsukihi's eyes shining with ferocious brightness. 'Since I can't find Mizukage, I think I will take advantage of this situation.'
'Genjutsu: Kokuangyo no Jutsu!' 'Genjutsu: Kokuangyo no Jutsu!' (Genjutsu: The Jutsu of Limitless Darkness!)
The eyesight of the eight shinobi was instantly filled with hallucinogenic darkness, and they could only see black.
Tsukihi ran out and started reaping their lives as soon as everyone's eyes darkened.
“A-what is this..?”
Puffs ... Pup ...
"Suddenly it became dark."
Puffs ... Pup ...
"What the hell is going on? Hey, somebody, answer me! What the hell is going on?!"
Puffs ... Pup ...
Plop... Plop... Plop... Plop...
Tsukihi slashed the necks of the eight shinobi one by one, causing them to fall motionless to the ground.
Tsukihi's gaze focused on the gate in front of her after breaking the eight genin level guards.
Some forms of Fuinjutsu were carved into the gate. The seal structure was rather complicated, and Tsukihi did not expect Kirigakure to be able to install it. 'It seems that even if the other great shinobi villages do not have the heritage of the Uzumaki Clan, they do not leave a missed business need in their Fuinjutsu exploration.' – Tsukihi pondered as she began researching the construction of the seal to pierce through it.
It took him less than 30 seconds to figure out the solution and unseal it.
Clik…
The gate opened with a loud clicking sound, and Tsukihi excitedly walked in.
He was expecting something spectacular, perhaps all from Kirigakure Ninjutsu? Or even a large amount of money, gold, silver, or other valuables should exist? After all, the Kirigakure treasure house was supposed to hold a large sum of money as one of the five famous shinobi villages, given the sad state of the city and the fact that Obito really exploited it…
Tsukihi entered the room with optimism in her heart, but it seemed that she expected too much. "Is this just a weapons storage facility? Sigh, what else can I expect from the Shinobi Village that Kagenya has reduced to a puppet in the hands of the leader of the mercenary organization?" muttered Tsukihi, disappointed.
'Maybe Obito stole all the money and other resources? Isn't this the only possibility? 'That bastard, I will kill him when I find him!' – Tsukihi secretly curses someone who was startled by an unexpected sneeze and wonders, 'Is Kakashi still in my grave?' 'It's not like it's going to make a difference!'
Anyway, let's go back to Tsukihi.
"But now that I have come here, of course I will not leave without taking something from here, right?" – Tsukihi made a decision and entered the collection library, it is not possible to do so, check the items stored there.
A large collection of swords can be seen in this room. Line after row of swords were placed on the shelves, but Tsukihi could tell from one look that, except for a decent handful, the rest had a much lower quality than her Kusanagi Sword, which she had, two pairs of Oto and Kogarashi daggers, or his Kitetsu Katana Shodai.
So, without taking an interest in these smaller things, Tsukihi continued to research, hoping to find something useful, until she reached the farthest part of the room, where her gaze fell onto the shelf… "Is it one of the seven swordsman fog? ?"
…
Tsukihi kills eight guards outside the library's collection gate.
A swirling vortex develops, and Obito, disguised as Tobi, emerges from it.
Tsukihi is unaware that one of the eight genins is a Zetsu Clone parasite that uses Narikawari no Jutsu when he slaughters them (Jutsu Substitution).
And when Tsukihi kills him, the information about the intruder inside the Mizukage Building is passed on to the original Zetsu, who informs Obito, who is ready to carry out his Kirigakure extermination plan.
Normally, Obito would not care about some invaders, but since the seal on this gate was personally installed by him, and since there was still time before the plan began, Obito decided to investigate the matter. 'Who knows, maybe I will find something interesting?' – Obito arrived here with this thought.
When Obito realized that there was an intruder inside the Library Collection, he quietly walked inside the wall and quietly observed the invaders.
'Who is he, actually?' – And all he saw was a woman dressed in black with a crow mask on her face extending her hand to retrieve the two remaining swords.
'Was he aiming for the sword?' he wondered as he sank underground, only to appear at the next moment and extend his hand to the woman's back.
