Chapter 84: 084 Kiri Invasion, The Night Konoha Crumbles
Pakura looked at the contents of the scroll, her hands holding it involuntarily tightening.
If the Uchiha clan's bargaining chips were only Night Star's powerful strength and the Magnet Release: Gold Dust Kekkei Genkai, the outcome of the fight against the village would still be uncertain.
But with this scroll, and the information in the diary last night about the truth of the Senju clan's destruction,
The scales of victory had completely tilted towards the Uchiha.
"Such confidential things..."
Pakura raised her head, her beautiful eyes showing a complicated look.
"You just showed it to me like this? Aren't you afraid that I will report it to the Hidden Leaf's higher-ups?"
"No, I trust you very much."
Night Star said with a light smile.
"Besides our Uchiha, you have no other way out, do you?"
Pakura fell silent upon hearing this, and she had to admit that Night Star was right.
If she was willing to become a missing-nin and live a life of displacement, she wouldn't have taken such a big risk to come to the Hidden Leaf Village to find him.
And the actions of the Hidden Leaf Village's higher-ups were even worse than that of the Fourth Kazekage, Rasa.
Compared to joining Hiruzen Sarutobi's command, Pakura felt that it would be more straightforward to just commit suicide on the spot.
Besides Uchiha Night Star, she really had no other choice.
A month and a half later, on the border of the Land of Fire.
"Phew, after traveling for so long, I'm almost exhausted."
Jinin Akebino, carrying Samehada, wiped the beads of sweat from his chubby cheeks, his tone extremely impatient.
Terumi Mei glanced at him coldly and said with displeasure,
"Jinin, this mission was personally ordered by Lord Mizukage. You've been complaining all the way. Aren't you taking the Mizukage too lightly?"
"Hehe."
Jinin Akebino grinned and said with disdain,
"Yagura? His orders are bullshit. I only agreed to come because I wanted to cause some destruction in the Hidden Leaf Village."
Hearing his mockery of Yagura, the Mizukage, the other dozens of Mist ninjas didn't feel any displeasure at all. They even burst into laughter.
For a time, the surroundings were filled with joy.
Looking at the scene in front of her, Terumi Mei couldn't help but sigh helplessly in her heart.
These Mist ninjas naturally didn't know that Yagura was being controlled by Obito's Mangekyou Sharingan.
The disrespectful attitude they showed was entirely because they didn't take the so-called Mizukage seriously at all.
These people who grew up under the Bloody Mist Village policy were all somewhat mentally ill.
Especially the murderous maniacs like Jinin Akebino and Mangetsu Hozuki were the best among them.
Once they became ruthless, let alone the safety of their companions, even if Yagura himself came in person, they wouldn't have any scruples.
The Hidden Mist Village had already become a mess.
Terumi Mei's gaze fell on the end of the队伍, a mysterious person wearing a spiral-shaped mask and a black robe. Her beautiful willow eyebrows couldn't help but furrow slightly.
She knew the bottom line of everyone else.
Only this mysterious man who called himself Tobi, she had never seen him in the Hidden Mist Village before.
The goal of the Mist ninja troops this time was simple.
Destroy the Hidden Leaf and kidnap the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, Naruto Uzumaki.
For such an important mission, Yagura, the Mizukage, or rather, Uchiha Obito who was controlling Yagura, actually arranged for such an unreliable-looking person to join?
What kind of unknown ability was hidden in him?
"Hey, everyone, wait a minute."
When they reached a forest not far from the Hidden Leaf, Tobi suddenly said this.
Immediately afterwards, he squatted down, pointed to a place covered by bushes, and smiled.
"This is a secret underground passage leading into the Hidden Leaf. There's no need to attack by force."
"Huh?"
Mangetsu Hozuki leaned closer, saw the sealing formulas engraved on it, and said coldly,
"This is protected by sealing techniques. How can we unlock it?"
"It doesn't matter."
Tobi squatted down and smiled nonchalantly.
"I know a little about sealing techniques. Let me do it."
Hearing Tobi's words, Terumi Mei's vigilance towards him increased a few more levels.
Just then, she suddenly noticed that beside her feet, under the moonlight, there was a line of text with a pale golden glow.
"Hokage Rock."
Before she could squat down to take a closer look, the line of text dispersed with the breeze.
"Is this a message from Night Star?"
Terumi Mei bit her lip lightly. While everyone's attention was on Tobi, who was solving the sealing formulas, she leaned against a tree trunk and directly took out the diary.
Anyway, she had already confirmed that the existence of the diary could not be seen by others.
To outsiders, she wasn't holding anything in her hand, just making such a gesture.
[It seems that tonight is the day the Hidden Mist Village launches its attack.]
[I have already used the sand gold ability to convey the message to Terumi Mei.]
[As for whether she can understand it or not, that's not my problem.]
[If she dies in the chaos tonight, it proves that she's only capable of this much.]
Terumi Mei thought to herself, "As expected, the message just now was conveyed to me by Night Star, meaning that after entering the Hidden Leaf, the two of us will meet on top of the Hokage Rock."
Just like the plan the two of them made three months ago.
And at this time, the female ninjas of the Hidden Leaf had also seen the updated content in the diary.
"So that's how it is..."
Tsunade abruptly stood up and looked at the peaceful and quiet Hidden Leaf Village outside the window, her beautiful eyes showing a look of horror.
She finally understood what Night Star's so-called plan was.
It was actually using the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki as bait to lure the Hidden Mist's troops to attack the Hidden Leaf!
How was this any different from betraying the village!?
But...
Tsunade recalled the information that Night Star showed her the last time they met a month and a half ago.
Her brother Nawaki, the entire Senju clan, had become sacrifices because of Hiruzen Sarutobi's ambition.
Between him and Night Star, who was the real traitor to the village?
And where should she, Tsunade, one of the Legendary Sannin, stand this time?
After hesitating for a long time, Tsunade finally made a decision.
She didn't know what Night Star's purpose was for doing this.
But she would not remind the village's higher-ups. She would only help those innocent villagers and ninjas within her power and try to minimize casualties.
This was also the duty of a medical ninja.
At this time, Night Star was standing on top of the Hokage Rock, overlooking the peaceful Hidden Leaf Village in the night.
Pakura stood behind him and said softly,
"Have you really decided? If the Hidden Mist suddenly attacks, many civilians will..."
Before she could finish speaking, Night Star interrupted in a calm tone,
"Those people, when the Uchiha clan was targeted by the higher-ups, chose to stand by and watch, or even add fuel to the fire."
"Since they are so foolish, they should learn a painful lesson."
"No matter how nice Hiruzen Sarutobi's words sound on the surface,"
"At the moment of life and death, the only people they can rely on are the Uchiha clan."
As Night Star's voice fell, a noisy sound suddenly came from somewhere in the village.
The loud sound of houses collapsing was clearly audible even on top of the Hokage Rock.
The piercing sound of alarm bells echoed in the night sky.
Looking at the village in chaos in the distance, Night Star seemed to be talking to Pakura, or muttering to himself.
"It has begun."
