"Oh my, that was scary! Is this the Mangekyou Sharingan?"
Sasuke's behavior is really funny. He really thinks he's great again, like the usual Sasuke. He probably forgot that Hatake Satoru has seen way more Mangekyou Sharingan than him. How could he change his mind just because Sasuke showed off his Mangekyou Sharingan?
"Are you telling me how to do things?"
Sasuke was obviously a little angry because of Hatake Satoru's tone.
"Okay, I don't have time to argue with you here."
"This time, Obito will probably have you capture Gyuki. He's the strongest of the Jinchuriki, a perfect Jinchuriki."
"If you go rashly, I'm afraid none of you will survive."
Hatake Satoru's good advice didn't seem to register with Sasuke at all.
"I also don't have time to listen to your nonsense here."
"Before he was alive, he asked me to take care of you."
Hearing this, Sasuke put his foot back down.
"Get familiar with your newly acquired eyes first. I will arrange for someone to help you capture Gyuki."
Sasuke didn't answer after hearing this, he just called Karin and Jugo to leave together.
Before leaving, Karin even made a threatening gesture to Hatake Satoru, telling him to stay away from Sasuke.
"That prideful attitude is really the same as when he was a kid."
In the mountain cave of the Akatsuki hideout, Obito was sitting on a bed made of straw. Zetsu appeared in the shadows.
"We still haven't found any clues. Hatake Satoru doesn't seem to have the ability to move the body without a trace in such a short time."
"He's just a small-time teacher."
From the time Obito started suspecting Hatake Satoru until now, many things have pointed to him, but he hasn't revealed any information and has hidden himself well.
"Go find Sasuke first. The plan to capture the tailed beasts can't be delayed. Tell him Gyuki's location. I'll personally investigate Hatake Satoru."
Zetsu listened and burrowed into a corner of the cave. Being able to move through the earth is really a convenient skill.
Obito started reorganizing his thoughts. He had noticed something was wrong with him since the Uchiha massacre.
Although Shisui and Itachi, as Uchiha clansmen, were both very thoughtful, using Kotoamatsukami to change memories and only killing a small number of rebels was not something they could have thought of on their own.
According to the information Zetsu just gathered, this Hatake Satoru is an ordinary person. Could he just be a strategist?
No. Obito realized the mistake in his thinking.
With his understanding of Konoha Village, there were almost no people who could easily move Itachi's body away in the time Zetsu had reported. Kakashi, who also has Kamui, is not as skilled as him. Could it be Hatake Satoru's ability?
It can't be denied that an ordinary person couldn't have done these things. Obito isn't very smart, but he can still figure out the obvious. It seems that his identity as an ordinary person is about to be exposed to Obito.
"It's time to go to Konoha."
With that, Obito twisted into the Kamui space. For Obito, who is familiar with Konoha and has Kamui, the barrier might just be a toy shell.
But he didn't know that he wouldn't gain anything from this trip to Konoha, because Hatake Satoru wasn't there.
"Hey, Mangetsu, don't run away! You ate a bunch of mud, isn't that disgusting?"
Hatake Satoru was chasing Hozuki Mangetsu, who had turned into a puddle of water and was running away. The terrain and climate of the Land of Wind didn't suit him at all.
"I've caught you, little Mangetsu."
Seeing that he was about to be caught, Mangetsu had no choice but to return to human form.
"Satoru-sensei, please don't make it hard for me. I finally left Kirigakure to relax. Why do you want me to go back again?"
After becoming Mizukage, even if he didn't have to do anything, Hozuki Mangetsu was still annoyed to death.
"Well, just help me out. Go bring your brother and Kimimaro."
So he was the helper for the conversation with Sasuke earlier. Hatake Satoru really has ideas, finding two very suitable candidates.
Hatake Satoru persuaded Mangetsu for a long time and finally convinced him.
The next day, Hozuki Mangetsu reluctantly left the Land of Wind. Hatake Satoru, who was seeing him off, was grinning beside him. This made Sasori feel sorry for Mangetsu.
"He's really a hard-working child. Don't have too much contact with this weirdo in the future."
But Sasori can't help it. If Hatake Satoru really wants to use Sasori as his tool, then there's no escape.
Although Mangetsu is unwilling, it's better to leave the Land of Wind. The dry weather here makes him extremely weak when using Ninjutsu.
"I have to replenish water after leaving the Land of Wind."
Hozuki Mangetsu thought as he hurried on his way.
There are three routes to choose from the Land of Wind to Kirigakure. The Land of Earth is directly ruled out. The remaining ones are the Land of Rain and the Land of Fire.
Compared to the Land of Fire he took when he came, Hozuki Mangetsu was more interested in the other two routes.
His childish and mischievous nature made him choose the Land of Rain.
"This place goes well with my Ninjutsu."
The Land of Rain is surrounded by the three major countries of Earth, Wind, and Fire. Every time there is a ninja world war, this is basically the main battlefield.
After Hanzo of the Salamander died, it was ruled by Pain, who called himself God.
"I really want to see what it's like."
"I'll just collect information for Satoru-sensei, hehe."
After speaking, he walked towards the Land of Rain.
The road to the Land of Rain is not easy, and the weather gets worse the closer you get.
"Does it rain here all year round?"
Hozuki Mangetsu voiced his doubts.
It really lives up to its name of Land of Rain. There are very few days in a year when it doesn't rain.
Hozuki Mangetsu used his water transformation technique to enter the Land of Rain. After all, the continuous rain has made the Land of Rain basically surrounded by water. Mangetsu released his water transformation and started observing the Land of Rain.
Although Hozuki Mangetsu doesn't need an umbrella because of his Ninjutsu, it's too conspicuous, so he put on a cloak.
This is Mangetsu's first time in the Land of Rain. The unique architecture here caught his attention.
"Can people really live in these tower-like things? They look so dangerous."
Mangetsu, who was born in Kirigakure, has of course never seen such buildings.
Among the Five Great Nations, except for the Land of Wind, which is different because it's in the desert, the architecture of the other three villages is basically the same.
"It's actually quite pretty."
This bizarre architecture really conquered Mangetsu's aesthetic.
"I can't delay any longer, I need to find a place to sit down, eat something, and then continue on my way."
Hozuki Mangetsu found a shop to sit down in and ordered some things.
As soon as he sat down, two people followed him in and sat down on the side. Although there was no eye contact, Mangetsu's ninja instincts told him that they had followed him in.
Hozuki Mangetsu probably didn't expect that he had already entered Nagato's rain tiger at its pleasure technique when he entered the Land of Rain.
