#190 - Dawn 1
One day later.
In the Rain Country, the Rain Hidden Village was filled with steel and concrete buildings.
The sky was rarely clear.
Even the sunlight shone through some dark clouds.
On the rooftop of a tall building, a young man wearing a black cloak with red clouds and orange hair sat there, the warm sunlight shining on him, taking in the entire Rain Hidden Village below.
Just like that, an unknown amount of time passed.
Footsteps came from behind him, and a woman with blue hair, also wearing a black cloak with red clouds, walked over.
The young man didn't turn his head and asked.
"Nan, is everyone here yet...?"
"Yes!"
Not long after, in a dark, dripping cave, accompanied by the sound of dripping water, one after another, shadowy figures appeared.
"Everyone's here!"
"This is the first time in years since Orochimaru left the organization!"
"That bastard Orochimaru, I'll get rid of him sooner or later!"
"Hey, what's going on, Pain? You're delaying my money-making, unforgivable!"
Seeing that everyone had finally arrived, Pain, who had been silent with his eyes closed, finally opened his eyes and slowly said.
"The reason the Akatsuki organization has gathered this time is because there is something that everyone must know!"
"Oh, what is it?"
"Could it be that the plan is finally about to begin?"
Pain did not answer, but instead said to Zetsu, who was beside him.
"Zetsu, tell us the information you just obtained!"
"Um..."
Zetsu, like a lantern plant, looked at everyone and slowly said.
"Just yesterday, on the last day of the Konoha Chunin Exams, Orochimaru launched the Konoha Crush plan and joined forces with the Sand Hidden Village to attack Konoha."
"Oh!"
Zetsu's words immediately attracted everyone's attention.
A shadowy figure with shark-like teeth immediately said to his companion with a pair of scarlet eyes.
"Itachi-senpai, you're from Konoha, right!"
Another small shadowy figure asked.
"What was the result?"
"The whole process was very interesting. The Sand Hidden Village, which was supposed to be allied with Orochimaru, suddenly chose to retreat. However, Konoha's Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, died at the hands of his own disciple, and Orochimaru's hands were sealed!"
"Sealed hands?!"
"Yes, according to the information, Hiruzen Sarutobi used a sealing technique called: Reaper Death Seal, to seal Orochimaru's hands. This means that Orochimaru will no longer be able to use ninjutsu."
The small figure's eyes lit up immediately.
"Interesting! In that case, we will soon be able to recover that ring from Orochimaru."
"No... there's no rush to recover the ring."
Pain's voice rang out coldly.
"Zetsu, continue?"
"What do you mean? Is there something even more interesting?"
A shadowy figure with green eyes asked.
"Ah..."
It was Zetsu who spoke, and his tone seemed a little excited.
"In the battle between Orochimaru and Konoha's Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, he used the forbidden technique: Impure World Reincarnation, resurrecting Konoha's First Hokage, Second Hokage, and the Sand Hidden Village's Fourth Kazekage!"
"! ! !"
As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked.
"I see, Orochimaru actually has such means?"
"In that case, we really can't easily attack Orochimaru."
"Oh, is Kakuzu-senpai afraid?"
The green-eyed shadow snorted coldly, not at all ashamed of being timid, and said.
"Hmph, those of you who have not experienced that era do not understand what the name Hashirama Senju represents. That is a monster... no... a god... who can pacify the entire ninja world with his own power alone... Even if all of us join forces, we will not be his opponent."
"Hey, you're exaggerating too much, Kakuzu-senpai!"
"No... not at all exaggerated!"
Now everyone in the entire cave was silent.
Everyone here had no doubts about Kakuzu's strength. Even Kakuzu was so afraid, how terrifying was that God of Shinobi? Even Pain, who had always proclaimed himself a god, did not say much at this moment, but coldly continued.
"Continue!"
"Oh, isn't the interesting stuff over yet?"
"Yes, the really interesting stuff has just begun, and that is that the Fourth Kazekage, who was killed by Orochimaru and resurrected with Impure World Reincarnation, suddenly broke free from Orochimaru's control, and then, he used some unknown means to completely resurrect, and fought with one of the Konoha Sannin, Jiraiya."
"Really resurrected, what do you mean? ? ?"
The small shadow figure immediately made a somewhat surprised sound.
"It's just what it says on the tin. The so-called Impure World Reincarnation is a ninjutsu that summons the souls of the dead from the Pure Land, which means that those who are reincarnated by Impure World Reincarnation must be dead, but the Fourth Kazekage who fought Jiraiya, we have completely confirmed that he is truly resurrected, not a puppet controlled by Impure World Reincarnation."
"What! ! !"
"Hey, hey, really resurrected, you're not kidding, right? Is this kind of thing really possible?"
At this time, Pain, who had been silent, suddenly spoke.
"Sasori, you are from the Sand Hidden Village, does your Sand Hidden Village have a forbidden technique to resurrect the dead?"
The small shadow figure rolled his eyes at Pain.
"No... at least, there is no such technique that I know of."
At this time, everyone also understood.
"So, is this why you're in such a hurry to gather us, leader?"
"Yes."
Speaking of this, Pain directly issued an order.
"Sasori, you are from the Sand Hidden Village, next you and Nan will go to the Sand Hidden Village to investigate what is going on with this Kazekage who has come back to life, Zetsu, you are responsible for supporting them?"
"No problem, I'm also very interested in this kind of ability to come back to life!"
"Then, next, Itachi! You and Kisame will go to Konoha to collect information about Konoha, focusing on the Nine-Tailed Jinchuriki. By the way, you can go and see your brother. I heard that Orochimaru is very interested in his eyes. After the death of the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, there will definitely be huge changes in Konoha. Maybe the other major ninja villages will be eyeing this opportunity to launch an attack on Konoha. As for the others, continue to act according to the plan. Okay, that's all I have to say, the meeting is over!"
At this moment, Sand Hidden Village...
Rasa sat in his position as Kazekage, looking at some of the materials about this world that Maki had sent up, and found some interesting things.
That is, he found that although this world is indeed the future world of his own world, it is not completely the same.
Because he originally thought that since this is a parallel world where there is no past him, then he seems to be able to reacquire the power of the Dragon Veins and the Mouryou, but when he asked Maki to send up the relevant information, he found that there was no legend of Rouran in this world, and there was no priestess or demon Mouryou in the Land of Demons.
Not only that, but looking closely, Rasa discovered the true difference in this world.
To be precise, this is a world that only has the main storyline of Naruto, without those movie versions and original characters.
For example, Rasa did not find: Mukade from the list of ninjas in the Sand Hidden Village of this era.
This made Rasa's idea fall through.
However, this does not prevent Rasa from planning for the future.
Just then, there was a knock on the door outside, and Rasa opened his mouth without even raising his head.
"Come in..."
