Chapter 218: It Sounds Like Konoha Sent an Army…
This guy Black Zetsu was also no good… why did he spill everything!
Izanagi was the ultimate ocular jutsu of the Uchiha clan, an existence that could easily change the tide of battle. Obito Uchiha was still thinking of using Izanagi in the future to kill Nagato and snatch the Rinnegan…
My pig teammate just revealed my trump card. Are you trying to dissolve our partnership?
However, the current situation was urgent, and Obito Uchiha couldn't be bothered to argue with Black Zetsu. He still needed to assist Nagato in moving the Gedo Statue…
No material within the Hidden Rain Village was important; only the Gedo Statue that Nagato had summoned had to be delivered to the new base.
Back then, the Konoha ninja squad had been in the Hidden Grass Village for less than an hour before it was turned into a barren wasteland… Who knew what that crow would do to the Hidden Rain Village…
After all the members of the Akatsuki had evacuated the Hidden Rain Village, Konan suddenly looked back at their homeland and said, "If there's still time, I want to go back. At least to help some people escape…"
Even though she believed the words of 'Madara Uchiha' and Black Zetsu, she couldn't bear to sit by and watch the villagers she had sheltered under her wings, who revered her as the Angel of God, die a violent death… Who could be one hundred percent certain that their plan to revive the Gedo Statue would succeed?
Besides, this absurd plan was quite difficult…
Konan and Nagato were the only two high-level leaders in the Hidden Rain Village. Although they had notified the Hidden Rain ninjas and villagers to leave the village as soon as possible before they left.
However, without the command of their superiors, the Hidden Rain Village was now in a state of chaos. No one understood the cruelty of war better than the villagers of the Hidden Rain, who were caught in the crevice between three great nations.
Some tried to hide in the basements of their homes, some believed they needed to flee the village, and some thought the invading ninjas would not kill the innocent indiscriminately…
"Ahem… Konan, if you want to go, then go!" Nagato coughed a few times, his hands resting on his wheelchair. "If anything happens, I will immediately use the Summoning Jutsu to summon you back!"
The Deva Path Pain had participated in an earth-shattering battle, and Nagato's chakra had yet to recover. Therefore, the current utility of Pain was close to zero.
Konan's combat power was perfectly preserved.
She was a living human being, but because of her summoning contract, she could also be summoned by Nagato like the Six Paths of Pain. Plus, her escape skills were not bad…
"Alright! Then I'll go back and command the people in the village to evacuate…" The short, light-blue hair fluttered in the wind, her lips under the heavy makeup were pressed together tightly. "After all, the enemy this time is not an existence they can survive by hiding at home…"
Under the Tailed Beast Bomb, all living beings are equal.
A single strike could instantly destroy a nation's ninja village. Even Pain's jutsu, Super Almighty Push, could not match the power of that crow's Tailed Beast Bomb head-on.
If those villagers of the Hidden Rain still foolishly thought they could survive by hiding in the basements and cupboards of their homes, wouldn't their deaths be too tragic?
Therefore, the Hidden Rain Village became increasingly chaotic.
This small ninja village was crowded everywhere with fleeing people. Ninjas were everywhere, commanding the evacuation, and some ninjas were responsible for checking residential areas to see if anyone had stayed behind.
"Everyone, whether you are a ninja or a commoner, must leave the Hidden Rain Village immediately and disperse to evade the enemy's pursuit!"
"The ninjas of Konoha will arrive at the Hidden Rain Village today! Three years ago, they completely destroyed the Hidden Grass Village, killing all the ninjas and civilians of the Grass Village!"
"You must not hide in basements! The Konoha ninjas will use a powerful jutsu to destroy the entire Hidden Rain Village!"
Some of the Hidden Rain genin frantically spread propaganda about the brutality of the Konoha ninjas. They had received orders from Lady Angel to get the civilians of the Hidden Rain to leave the village as much as possible, as this place was very likely to become a battlefield.
And the ninjas of Konoha had mastered a jutsu that could annihilate a nation's ninja village in a single blow. Anyone hiding in the Hidden Rain Village would die in ignorance.
It hadn't been many years since the great incident of the destruction of the neighboring Hidden Grass Village, and they never expected it would be the Hidden Rain's turn so soon…
In the crowd, a middle-aged man trembled and said, "Didn't they say… Lord Pain would protect us?"
"Lord Pain was severely injured while blocking the Konoha ninjas! We must protect ourselves until Lord Pain and Lady Angel return!"
"War… is coming again!"
"I heard that the one leading the attack this time is a ninja named Itachi Uchiha. That ninja is from the Uchiha clan and was also the disciple of Jiraiya, who once invaded our Hidden Rain Village!"
"Damn it! Jiraiya was defeated by our… leader back then. That guy Itachi Uchiha must be here for revenge for his teacher!"
"No… I heard it was a war jointly launched by the Hidden Mist Village and the Hidden Leaf Village! Those ninjas from the Hidden Mist, they are the real ruthless killers!"
The civilians and ninjas of the Hidden Rain discussed as they fled. The scene was very chaotic for a while, but every face was filled with panic and fear.
The Hidden Rain Village, which had been through numerous Great Ninja Wars, was truly terrified at the mere mention of war.
Especially this time, according to the instructions from the higher-ups, the invading Konoha ninjas this time were larger in scale, stronger in power, and more brutal in nature than ever before.
Paper airplanes constantly flew back and forth in the sky above the Hidden Rain Village, sometimes landing on high towers, sometimes on the roadside. Konan's figure appeared and disappeared within the village as she inspected the evacuation of the civilians.
It was not optimistic.
Even with the help of the ninjas, at this speed, it would take at least a day… However, the intelligence personnel she had sent out had been scouting the area around the Hidden Rain Village for a long time, and so far they had not reported back with any news of discovering Itachi's squad.
This was not good…
It was possible that those people had already infiltrated.
In fact, that was indeed the case. After a simple change of attire, Itachi Uchiha led his teammates into the Hidden Rain Village, and everyone's expression was one of bewilderment.
Kisame Hoshigaki's expression was a little hard to read, as if he couldn't quite believe it. "Are they… fleeing from a disaster?"
"A war between Konoha and the Hidden Rain… what does that mean?" Yamato touched the back of his head, puzzled. "That should be something from the Second Great Ninja War, right?"
"Could it be… the village sent reinforcements?" Might Guy looked at his young squad leader and said loudly, "Itachi, besides our squad, did the village send a ninja army?"
"Impossible!"
Itachi Uchiha shook his head firmly. "If the village really wanted to occupy the Hidden Rain Village, it would be too provocative to the nerves of Iwagakure and Sunagakure…"
As a high-ranking officer of the Defense Department, if Konoha wanted to launch a war, it would definitely have to dispatch the Defense Department.
Hiruzen Sarutobi had been content to lay low these past few years. Occasionally bullying Danzo was enough to satisfy him. How could he possibly go against his own pacifism and proactively start a war!
"But, how do you explain this?" Might Guy was also a little confused, especially since nearby, a Hidden Rain genin was holding a megaphone and proclaiming how fierce and cruel the Konoha ninjas were. The various methods he described made even his scalp tingle…
Could it be that he was born in a fake Hidden Leaf Village?
