Hidden Mist Village.
Inside the makeshift conference hall, Tobirama Senju sat at the head of the table, while Hiashi Hyuga, Itachi Uchiha, and several clan heads from the bloodline families who had come to join them sat on either side, their expressions solemn and grave.
On the table, a detailed intelligence report from the Land of Fire was slowly unfolded, coming into everyone's view:
A mysterious religious force has rapidly risen to power, capturing numerous Konoha supply depots in a short period and attracting a large influx of refugees, forming a formidable force.
The core of the intelligence is a mysterious name: Otsutsuki Gen.
"Otsutsuki Genji...?"
"Personally calling himself a guide of light?"
He carefully read the intelligence report, his originally calm expression gradually turning gloomy and solemn.
Tobirama had fought countless battles throughout his life and was always adept at quickly discerning the truth of things from the slightest clues. But at this moment, faced with this unfamiliar name and strange situation, he felt a confusion and unease he had never experienced before.
Hiashi Hyuga glanced at the intelligence report and said cautiously, "With the end of the world approaching and minds in disarray, it's not surprising that such a religion has emerged."
But Tobirama immediately shook his head, his tone unusually serious and solemn: "It possesses a special ability—a way of purifying light—that we have never seen before."
Hiashi was immediately taken aback: "A method of purifying light?"
Tobirama sighed softly, his voice somewhat low: "According to intelligence, Maruboshi Kosuke has also become a follower of this mysterious religion, and has established a shrine in the Fire Temple to promote their so-called faith in light."
A strange situation is now emerging throughout the Land of Fire.
Apart from the core village of Konoha, which resembles a village of demons, large numbers of believers have appeared in other places, worshipping Otsutsuki Genji, the guide of light.
When Maruboshi Kosuke was mentioned, a clear hint of disappointment appeared in Tobirama's eyes.
His students have all fallen into this state, which makes him extremely unhappy.
"Second Hokage, Konoha is currently forced to consolidate its forces to deal with our Kirigakure's offensive, resulting in the abandonment of numerous supply depots. This has given Otsutsuki Genji an excellent opportunity..."
Tobirama nodded slightly: "I don't intend to hand over Konoha's supplies for nothing."
At this point, Tobirama looked up at Hiashi, his gaze deep and grave: "Clan Head Hiashi, I'm afraid we'll need your help in sending a portion of the Hyuga clan to cooperate with Itachi Uchiha for this operation. Let's see if we can recapture the resources at the supply depot..."
The resources of Kirigakure are becoming increasingly scarce.
Only by gathering up the supplies that Konoha has plundered during this period can we fill the huge deficit.
Hiashi was slightly startled upon hearing this, then nodded solemnly: "I understand, Second Generation Lord."
Tobirama remained silent for a moment, a faint trace of worry and unease flashing in his eyes.
He slowly got up, walked to the window, and looked at the vast mist outside the Hidden Mist Village. His tone was calm but contained worry.
"Demonization, faith in light, fear of the apocalypse... the ninja world is becoming increasingly unpredictable."
He turned to look at Hiashi and the other clan leaders: "We must first find out what this so-called Otsutsuki Genji really is."
After dealing with these matters...
Tobirama glanced at Madara Uchiha and Hashirama Senju outside the clan's territory.
I couldn't help but sigh...
Fortunately, his elder brother was resurrected. Now, in the ninja world, with him joining forces with Madara Uchiha, there should be no one who can stop them.
Outside the Konoha supply depot, thick dark clouds slowly gathered, and the atmosphere became heavy and gloomy.
Outside the supply station, large swarms of Sand Ninja slowly approached from all directions, completely surrounding the supply station.
Their eyes were filled with greed and longing for supplies.
Despite being surrounded, Otsutsuki Genji's expression was surprisingly calm and indifferent, without even the slightest emotional fluctuation.
He stood there calmly: "Sunagakure ninjas, you've gathered here today, presumably to resupply the station, right?"
Upon hearing Otsutsuki Gen so bluntly state his purpose, the leading Sand Ninja fell silent for a moment and did not respond immediately.
Seeing this, Otsutsuki Gen chuckled lightly, his expression remaining calm: "If your Sunagakure is truly in trouble and needs some supplies, you can simply tell us. We can share some with you, after all... Sunagakure has always been short of supplies."
As soon as he finished speaking, the expressions of the Sand Ninja changed drastically, becoming even more ferocious and violent.
They glared at Otsutsuki Genji and said, "When has our Sunagakure ever needed your charity?"
! "
The Sand Ninja's roar was filled with obvious shame and anger. With this shout, the Sand Ninja no longer hesitated and rushed into the supply station, ready to forcibly plunder the supplies they needed in the most direct way.
But just as the Sand Ninja were about to make their move, a slender figure suddenly and resolutely stood in front of them, blocking their path.
It was that little boy who was the first to awaken the light within his heart.
His small, thin body appeared so tiny and weak in front of a group of fierce ninjas, yet his eyes were more determined and resolute than ever before, without the slightest fear or hesitation.
Following closely behind, figures slowly emerged from the supply station from all directions.
Thousands of civilians, armed with various rudimentary weapons, stood with firm and courageous eyes, filled with an unprecedented fighting spirit and determination.
Upon seeing such a large and dense crowd, the Sand Ninja hesitated for a moment.
Their self-sight swept across the dense crowd, and a sense of apprehension and doubt arose in their hearts.
"So many..."
"There are way too many..."
At the boy's cold shout, the villagers, who seemed unable to contain their anger and power, instantly charged madly at the group of Sand Ninja.
"We will never allow you ninjas to plunder even a single thing from us again!"
The roars and shouts of battle instantly shook the entire space, and the scene immediately became extremely intense and chaotic.
The Sand Ninja originally thought that these ordinary civilians were no match for their power, but the moment they actually came into contact with these civilians, they were completely shocked by the situation before them.
A strange and powerful force surged within the bodies of these civilians, and their movements were swift and decisive, in no way inferior to those of trained ninjas.
Especially the thin little boy, who was able to skillfully dodge the ninjas' attacks and quickly counterattack.
Moreover, the moment his fists and feet touched these Sand Ninjas, their chakra was rapidly drained, instantly rendering them powerless to resist.
This power is the light bestowed upon them by Otsutsuki Genji, and now it is demonstrating its immense power to these ninjas through the bodies and wills of these villagers.
The battle proceeded with exceptional speed and decisiveness.
In just a few moments, these Sand Ninjas collapsed to the ground without any resistance, completely losing their ability to fight.
The brief but intense battle that had just taken place plunged the area outside the supply depot into complete silence.
Standing at a distance, Otsutsuki Genji's expression remained calm and serene.
He nodded slowly, casting an approving and gentle glance at the little boy and the brave villagers.
"very good."
"Villagers, remember this moment. Whenever anyone dares to try to plunder you again, stand up firmly, just as you have today, and use your courage and strength to make them remember you forever!"
Upon hearing Otsutsuki Gen's resolute and powerful words, the villagers, who had been in a state of shock and disbelief, erupted in unprecedented cheers and excited shouts: "Yes! We will never again be trampled and plundered by ninjas!"
"From today onward, we are no longer weak lambs; we will use our own strength to protect our home!"
"Our era is about to begin!"
The deafening shouts rose and fell, echoing throughout the sky. Inside and outside the supply station, everyone's eyes burned with fierce fighting spirit and hope.
Otsutsuki Genji simply stood quietly, watching the scene unfold before him, a satisfied and gratified smile on his face.
He then began traveling to various supply depots to give lectures...
In fact...
It's not just Kirigakure and Konoha...
Even Amegakure has taken notice of this newly emerging force.
After all, with the tension between Konoha and Kirigakure escalating, this newly emerging force suddenly controlling 70% of the Land of Fire was a formidable opponent.
It's confusing even if you don't want to pay attention.
Rain-Hidden Village.
In the highest building in the village, Nagato sat on a high chair, his face filled with worry and unease.
His gaze was fixed on the distant sky, as if he could see through the layers of dark clouds a storm brewing in the Land of Fire.
"There are just too many ambitious people in this ninja world..."
Nagato's voice was low and weary...
"In the current situation, it is extremely unwise for someone to try to incite so many ordinary people to rush to the front lines of conflicts between countries."
Standing beside him, Xiao Nan frowned slightly, her expression equally worried.
"Nagato, what are your plans regarding this Otsutsuki Genji?"
After listening, Nagato remained silent for a moment: "Konan, I want to go to the Land of Fire myself to deal with those who might bring even greater disaster to the ninja world."
As soon as she finished speaking, Konan immediately shook her head in objection: "No, Nagato, you absolutely cannot set foot in the Land of Fire now. Kumogakure and Iwagakure are watching our every move. If you rashly enter the Land of Fire, it will only bring more trouble."
Upon hearing this, Nagato hesitated for a moment before finally accepting Konan's suggestion, sighing, "In that case, let's send Kisame Hoshigaki and Sasori of the Red Sand to the Land of Fire to investigate."
Not long after, on the outskirts of Amegakure, two figures slowly stepped onto the road leading to the Land of Fire.
Kisame Hoshigaki looked ahead, his Samehada on his back swaying slightly, his smile filled with excitement.
Sasori beside him was indifferent and calm, as if he had no interest in what was happening.
As the two ventured deeper into the Land of Fire, they soon noticed an astonishing scene.
Within the Land of Fire, countless refugees spontaneously and in a grand and orderly manner organized themselves.
Instead of wandering aimlessly as before, they chose to gather near the abandoned supply depots of Konoha and spontaneously built one simple temple after another.
In the center of each temple stands the same statue—a strange and mysterious figure, gentle yet solemn—none other than Otsutsuki Gen, whom these refugees repeatedly mention.
Upon seeing this scene, Kisame Hoshigaki's expression turned extremely shocked, and he clicked his tongue in amazement...
"This is truly unbelievable... This country is sometimes so absurd that it makes you wonder if this is really the war-torn ninja world we know and love?"
Sasori of the Red Sand did not respond, but stared coldly at the unfamiliar statue in front of him, his eyes flashing with inexplicable complex meaning, and remained silent for a long time.
Meanwhile, the refugees were completely unaware of the arrival of the two ninjas.
They were completely immersed in the new world they had created, as if they had been cut off from everything in the ninja world.
A group of simply dressed commoners were gathered in front of the temple, and a scholar-like man was speaking eloquently to them...
"Everyone! As we said before, chakra is the root of all evil in this ninja world, which has been plagued by war and conflict for a thousand years!"
"The ninjas, using chakra as their power, constantly plunder, invade, and oppress ordinary people, making it impossible for us to live a peaceful life. Therefore, after we establish a new nation, we must completely eradicate this abused power!"
The scholar's words were powerful and resonant, filled with passion and determination, which drew nods of agreement from countless ordinary people in the audience, and some even shouted and cheered excitedly.
Meanwhile, Kisame Hoshigaki and Sasori Akasago had quietly appeared behind the group of refugees. Perhaps noticing the two ninjas listening attentively in the crowd, the scholar suddenly turned around, his gaze sharpening as he stared at Kisame and Sasori, and asked directly, "Gentlemen ninja, what are your thoughts on what we are saying?"
The sudden question drew the attention of the surrounding civilians, who all turned their gazes to the two ninjas. The air grew even quieter, as if everyone awaited their answer.
Kisame Hoshigaki paused for a moment, then revealed his usual smile, saying with a hint of nonchalance, "Heh, destroy chakra? Interesting... But then again, the ninjas of this world don't give up their power so easily."
Scorpion remained silent, looking at the group of people before him, a complex and indescribable emotion welling up inside him.
Seeing the two react this way, the scholar did not back down at all, but instead became even more aggressive!
"Indeed, you two ninjas. We are well aware that this will not be easy. But that is precisely why we should unite even more to completely destroy the old order of the ninja world and create a brand new world that truly belongs to ordinary people!"
As soon as the scholar finished speaking, the civilians present erupted in even louder cheers and shouts.
Looking at all this, Kisame Hoshigaki couldn't help but feel a mix of indescribable emotion and surprise.
"That's truly astonishing... to be able to incite these people to this extent."
However, Scorpion, who had been standing silently to the side, suddenly raised his head, his voice unusually cold: "The person lecturing across from us is definitely extremely dangerous..."
Before the words were even finished, the scholar who had been standing on the podium suddenly leaped up with a speed that was almost beyond human limits, as if he had broken through the constraints of space, and landed silently next to Kisame Hoshigaki and Sasori.
At that moment, the scholar smiled slightly, a warm and infectious smile, and his tone was exceptionally kind and sincere: "Two ninja gentlemen who have traveled from afar, would you be willing to join us and become a part of this light?"
However, Kisame Hoshigaki and Sasori sensed an unprecedented sense of danger in an instant. Almost instinctively, they both took a step back at the same time, their expressions extremely vigilant.
"Who are you?"
Kisame Hoshigaki gripped Samehada on his back tightly, staring at the young scholar in front of him with a half-smile.
The scholar's smile deepened. He tilted his head slightly, his expression a mix of mischievousness and mystery: "Me? Aren't I the one you're looking for... Otsutsuki Genji?"
"Come, you two ninjas, cast aside your past and become light with me, to experience true miracles!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the sky, which was originally covered with dark clouds, suddenly seemed to be torn apart by a strange force.
A dazzling beam of light poured down from the clouds, covering the entire area and instantly enveloping Otsutsuki Genji's figure.
Within this pillar of light, the originally gentle and calm aura emanating from Otsutsuki Genji began to rise at an astonishing speed, quickly reaching an incredibly powerful level.
Within the pillar of light, his figure gradually became sacred and inviolable, and the surrounding space seemed to begin to distort slightly.
At this moment, Kisame Hoshigaki and Sasori Akasago realized that they had encountered a powerful opponent.
It doesn't seem like ninjutsu...
Sasori of the Red Sand observed for a while, only to find that Gen Otsutsuki was completely unconcerned about their probing.
From within the pillar of light, Otsutsuki Gen's voice, tinged with laughter, slowly drifted out, filled with an irresistible allure and gentleness: "You two, please allow me to guide you into the true world of light..."
A world of light...
Otsutsuki Gen floated in the air, his arms slightly outstretched, and the surrounding light barrier rapidly expanded, as if to devour everything in endless radiance.
Sensing something was wrong, Kisame Hoshigaki made a quick decision, forming hand seals and unleashing an astonishingly large stream of water that instantly swept across the entire area, forcefully washing away the eerie domain of light!
Sasori of the Red Sand beside him simultaneously controlled hundreds of puppets, which then transformed into the same form as Sasori of the Red Sand and stood in each area.
Genjiro Otsutsuki was all smiles as he faced the two Akatsuki members.
