Chapter 1072: Gathering
In the Land of Fire, evening.
A bonfire was burning in the middle of the forest.
Su Xiao and Bubtney were sitting next to the bonfire.
Not far from them was a creature that looked like a mouse, but it was the size of a domestic cat and was covered in brown fur.
This unknown creature was looking at Su Xiao curiously.
This was an ordinary wild animal of this world, not a summoned beast.
Bubtney stared at the creature in surprise.
It was extremely stupid because it dared to approach Su Xiao. Given Su Xiao's aura, no intelligent animal would approach him.
But right now, the little beast was actually watching Su Xiao curiously.
Bubtney ended up throwing him some dried fruit and a can of soda.
Su Xiao didn't pay much attention to the Chatter and looked at Mei Terumi, who was standing to the side.
— When will the war start? Hearing Su Xiao's question, Mei Terumi was dumbfounded for a moment, then turned to look at him with anger, but in the next moment, her body stiffened.
— About four days later, Madara had just received a rinnegan transplant. He needs time to adapt.
Kabuto, having taken control of Mei Terumi, replied to Su Xiao.
— Four days... Faster than I thought, " Su Xiao said as he stood up and put out the fire, rushing towards the Akatsuki base.
----
A few hours later, Su Xiao appeared at the entrance of the base.
When he went inside, he saw that a large number of coffins were placed everywhere.
There were corpses in them that hadn't been picked up by the Kabuto technique yet.
The previously abandoned Akatsuki base was now more like a medieval morgue.
Akatsuki's base was now imbued with two completely different auras. The former represented death and ruin, while the latter possessed a huge amount of vitality due to the influence of the White Zetsu clones.
— U-u-u, u-u-u...
Su Xiao turned in the direction of the strange sound and saw Kakuzu.
He was carrying someone on his shoulders. Su Xiao thought that this person looked familiar. After thinking for a while, he realized that it was Konoha's Yamato jonin, an unfortunate product of Orochimaru's.
Obito and Kabuto are very well prepared. Given this kind of preparation, starting a war in four days wasn't something abnormal.
As Su Xiao went deeper into the base, he saw the corpses of seven Mist Swordsman Shinobi, the corpses of several jinchuuriki, and so on
Su Xiao originally wanted to find a rest room, but all the rooms were now full of corpses, and he didn't want to rest next to the corpses.
In the back of the base, Obito was discussing something with Kabuto, while Amu sat in a corner and ignored them both.
When Amu saw Su Xiao return, he immediately stood up and walked over to Su Xiao's side.
— Everything seems to have gone well this time? Obito asked and looked at Su Xiao.
His left eye was now a rinnegan, and his yellow whirlpool-shaped mask was replaced with a white mask that also covered his entire face and was covered with black stripes that looked like a rinnegan.
Obito also wore a black robe and had a round fan on his back, but no matter how Su Xiao looked at him, he looked more like a guitar in his eyes.
Although this fan was a bit ugly, it was a weapon passed down in the Uchiha clan from generation to generation. It was called "Gongbai", it looked like it was made of some kind of wood, and it had very great strength.
— It went pretty well, " Su Xiao replied, and after finding an empty stone chair, he took it and relaxed.
— Don't you wonder who I am? Obito asked. Now that he had become significantly stronger, he was no longer afraid of Su Xiao.
— Compared to your personality, I'm more interested in knowing what that egg-shaped mask is. You are one of our strongest cards, but your image... " In fact, when Su Xiao saw Obito's mask, his first thought was that Obito's head had become like a stewed egg.
Obito was surprised to hear something like this from Su Xiao.
— Kabuto, " Obito said, and looked at Kabuto.
This mask was created by him.
— Hmm, you don't look like a stewed egg — " and even though Kabuto said it, after he thought about it, he actually started to see a stewed egg in his head.
— OK, " Obito said, and grabbed his mask with one hand before taking it off. There was no point in hiding it anymore. Su Xiao had already seen Madara Uchiha's body. If he continues to ignore this issue, it may cause unnecessary internal problems..
Now he could reveal his true identity.
Besides, Su Xiao and Kabuto were now his companions.
Obito finally showed his true colors.
— What I can tell you is that I really am from the Uchiha clan. As for who I am, you'll know everything after the war, " Obito said, putting the mask back on. — We must prepare everything for war. It all starts at the junction of the Land of Lightning and the Land of Fire.
Su Xiao wasn't sure why Obito chose this particular location. The gap between the Lightning Country and the Fire Country was a large area of uninhabited desert.
There were two small countries nearby, the Country of Fields and the Country of Frost. Once a war breaks out in this place, these two small countries will cease to exist.
As for the place where everything would start, the five main villages already knew everything.
The coalition had its own methods, and their agents were now working all over the country..
Three days later, Hidden Cloud Village.
A large number of Shinobi from the five Shinobi villages gathered in this village because the war was about to start very soon.
The high platform in front of the Raikage building was now filled with a huge number of shinobi who were standing in various formations.
There were a total of five different formations.
The Shinobi coalition was divided into five large divisions. Shinobi from different villages were mixed in these formations. They all wore different clothes, but their protectors had the same inscription: "Shinobi».
— We've finally completed our preparations, " Gaara said, standing on the high platform and looking down.
It was the first time he had seen such a large number of Shinobi.
— We were too passive, " Tsunade said from the side.
Right now, the five Kage were standing side by side.
This was supposed to boost the morale of the coalition.
— Even though the enemy has a hundred thousand strong army, it is far inferior to our coalition, " Oonoki replied. He was the commander-in-chief in this war.
Of course, this was just a formality. He will not lead the troops at all, because shinobi of his level will have to fight on the front line.
Next to the three Kages was a young man with slightly dark skin and an older woman with gray hair.
The young man was the new fifth Raikage, and the older woman was an agent of the fifth Mizukage.
It was a helpless move because the Hidden Mist Village actually failed to choose the sixth Mizukage.
The two of them remained silent because they knew that compared to the other Kage, they were only here to boost morale. Neither their real power nor strength could compare to these three Kage.
— Hokage-sama, the enemy troops have started to flock to the point, " Shikaku Nara said as he appeared not far from the Kage.
He was the commander of the coalition and was responsible for the movement of troops directly on the battlefield.
The Raikage building became the coalition headquarters. It was full of perception-type shinobi who were constantly watching the battle map and would deliver important news if necessary.
— Then let's start moving and we will.
— Wait, " Gaara said, pointing down.
Conflicts have already begun to break out among the Shinobi.
Many of the Shinobi present had been fighting each other for years. Even though the whole situation had forced them to come together today, the hatred that had accumulated over the years of fighting couldn't be dismissed so easily.
The five Kage had to combine them somehow.
