Three days after the Mizukage building was bombed, a sudden and peculiar order was issued.
The entire Kirigakure was mobilized, leaving only a few personnel behind while the rest headed towards the border of the Land of Whirlpools.
Simultaneously, large ships docked at the port of a small town outside Kirigakure.
Following orders, Rinjin boarded the ship alongside the Seven Ninja Swordsmen.
Soon, at dawn, the fleet carrying a large number of Kirigakure ninja silently set sail.
They were expected to reach the border of the Land of Whirlpools by evening.
On the empty deck, Rinjin and Suigetsu Hozuki stood shoulder to shoulder, watching as Kirigakure gradually became shrouded in mist in the distance.
"Patrick Star, now you finally believe what I said, right?"
Upon hearing this, Kagetsu Hozuki rolled his eyes speechlessly.
"You cheeky little fatty, how many times have I told you, don't call me Patrick Star! Don't call me Patrick Star!
Call me Lord Kagetsu, or Second Mizukage, or simply Kagetsu Hozuki!"
Hearing this, Rinjin stubbornly shook his head.
"No! That's too long! Patrick Star rolls off the tongue better. After all, you like eating shellfish, right? Starfish also like eating shellfish!
And besides, you always call me fatty, and I never object!"
"No, absolutely not!"
Kagetsu Hozuki shook his head vigorously, refusing to acknowledge the name Patrick Star.
For some reason, he just found the name incredibly silly!
Seeing Kagetsu Hozuki's stubborn refusal, Rinjin helplessly pouted and muttered:
"If not Patrick Star, then I'll call you SpongeBob!"
His voice wasn't loud, but it was just enough for Kagetsu Hozuki to hear.
Seeing this, Kagetsu Hozuki became even more speechless.
SpongeBob...
Bob...
A naming genius!
I might as well be called Patrick Star!
Your head must be filled with cotton candy!
For a moment, Kagetsu Hozuki felt his future was bleak.
After a long silence, Rinjin's mischievous smile gradually faded, and he spoke seriously.
"Uchiha Madara is impatient. It seems fighting you took quite a toll on him."
"Hmm..." After pondering for a moment, Kagetsu Hozuki nodded seriously.
During his three days in the village, Kagetsu Hozuki wasn't idle.
He not only reconnected with his loyal old friend, Genji, but also gained a general understanding of the village's situation over the past decade.
Overall, it's not optimistic, whether it's military strength or economic status, things are quite bad.
Especially the economy, which under Genji's efforts, was just barely maintained.
Just from this, it's clear how much blood Uchiha Madara has sucked from Kirigakure.
And now, the Third Mizukage hastily organizing a secret attack on Whirlpool Village is undoubtedly under Uchiha Madara's control.
What does this mean?
Even if Kagetsu Hozuki doesn't know Uchiha Madara's plans, he can confirm that this guy is anxious.
After pondering for a while, the Second Mizukage glanced at Rinjin without leaving a trace.
During these three days, this kid actually kept his word, not restricting his actions at all, proving to be trustworthy.
If possible, sincerely cooperating with him wouldn't be a bad idea.
With each having their own agendas, time swiftly passed.
Soon, night fell, and with the dense fog, the entire fleet silently docked at the shore without any hindrance.
It's clear that years of peace have made this small country and village lose their vigilance.
Plus, the isolation policy of the Land of Water allowed Whirlpool Village, adjacent to the Land of Water, to live more comfortably and prosperously.
Time is the pig's feed, and it has fattened this village, just waiting for the butcher's knife.
And tonight, the sharp knife will quietly fall.
While the Third Mizukage was assigning combat tasks, Rinjin's clone army had already placed the Flying Thunder God technique in various corners of the village.
Whirlpool Village was his for the taking, not even Jesus could stop him.
These red-haired individuals, with large chakra reserves, are a branch of the Ōtsutsuki clan, and most importantly, they're adept at sealing techniques.
Perfect for the still-developing Amegakure.
Everyone hiding under umbrellas watching the gentle rain, how beautiful!
At this moment, one of Rinjin's shadow clones suddenly exploded; simultaneously, a strange memory appeared in his mind.
No culprit broke the shadow clone.
Unexpectedly, the one who could silently eliminate his shadow clone was likely Black Zetsu.
And their appearance at this time was likely to take away the already chosen Nagato.
While Rinjin was pondering, the Third Mizukage had finished assigning tactics.
The key to this mission was the village chief's house in the center of the village, and whoever first took down the leader of Whirlpool Village would be heavily rewarded!
With an order, accompanied by thick fog that obscured vision, Kirigakure ninjas began their assault.
Each had eyes glowing red, with bloodthirsty smiles on their lips.
At the same time, Rinjin silently issued the command to start capturing people.
A great battle began.
The Whirlpool Village ninjas, sensing something amiss, began their feeble counterattack.
Accustomed to peace, they were no match for the Kirigakure ninjas who carried out assassination missions and lived by the blade.
Even with a large chakra reserve and long life, they appeared particularly weak in the face of absolute strength.
Small countries and villages, when facing the five great nations, only have a pitiful fate.
Rinjin and Kagetsu Hozuki together, using the cover of the mist, skated around the edges of the battlefield.
"SpongeBob, Whirlpool Village is an ally of Konoha, aren't you going to intervene?"
Kagetsu Hozuki looked at Rinjin with a playful smile, a hint of amusement in his eyes.
Upon hearing this, Rinjin scratched his head and chuckled.
"If Konoha wanted to intervene, they would have sent me a message. Since there's no message, it means this matter isn't my responsibility."
As he spoke, a kunai flew swiftly, directly towards where Rinjin and Kagetsu Hozuki were hiding.
In the empty alley, Rinjin wielded the Samehada sword, deflecting the kunai, his figure gradually becoming visible.
"Who! Come out!"
