Chapter 1254 Gathering

Chapter 1254 Gathering
The land of rain.

The drizzle kept falling, filling the air with a thin mist. At first glance, it felt like a dream.

The members of the Dark Dawn who had just withdrawn from the Fire Nation gathered in the ruins of a town.

Sitting under the ruins, Scorpion maintained his puppet meticulously.

not far away.

Deidara complained to Hidan about the horrible weather in the Land of Rain, while Biwa Juuzou was quietly wiping the beheading sword in his arms.

Kakuzu remained silent in the corner, while Ranmaru stood in the rain, gazing into the distance.

The previous attack on Konoha was launched hastily and the retreat was chaotic. Almost everyone was injured, including Obito and Zetsu. As for Hokage, he even lost both arms on the battlefield.

Compared with the defeat on the battlefield, what made them even more upset was that the Kara Organization took advantage of their success and suddenly appeared and kidnapped the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki who was their target.

Obito, who was also standing in the rain, asked Zetsu, "Why did you choose to gather here?"

"Who knows!"

Zetsu shrugged, indicating that the 'Shell Organization' did not explain the reason to him.

Obito's expression suddenly darkened.

The failure in capturing Naruto this time obviously caused their standing in Otsutsuki Isshiki's heart to plummet, and this was obviously not conducive to their plans.

In Obito and Zetsu's plan, they wanted to take advantage of the confrontation between Ōtsutsuki Isshiki and 'A' and look for an opportunity to take back Nagato's Rinnegan and the Ten-Tails that were taken away by 'A'.

The prerequisite for achieving this is that they must gain the trust and reliance of Ōtsutsuki Isshiki, otherwise, they will not be able to participate in the core of the plan at all.

At this moment, Orochimaru and Kabuto Yakushi broke through the rain and arrived at the assembly point.

"Orochimaru!"

As soon as he saw Orochimaru, Scorpion's eyes became sharp.

After all, in the era when Nagato controlled the Dark Dawn, it was his mission to eliminate Orochimaru, so the fact that Orochimaru was still alive and well was itself a mockery of him.

Pharmacist Kabuto smiled and said, "Master Scorpion!"

"You bastard!"

Scorpion made no effort to conceal his murderous intent.

He thought he had control over Kabuto Yakushi, but it turned out that Kabuto Yakushi became a double agent and was used by Orochimaru.

Orochimaru ignored Scorpion and walked straight to Obito: "Are you provoking 'A' by gathering here? It seems that the big man behind you is really ready to take action!"

Obito replied, "You don't need to worry about that, just follow the instructions!"

Without Nagato and his dominant right eye, Obito no longer has much confidence facing Orochimaru now, especially since Orochimaru still possesses Uchiha Madara's Impure World Form.

Orochimaru smiled slightly, folded his arms and leaned against a broken wall.

The gathering place fell into silence. Even Deidara and Hidan, who had been complaining before, shut up because of the arrival of Orochimaru and Kabuto Yakushi. The only sound around was the sound of "pattering" raindrops.

After a while, a group of figures arrived at the assembly point.

Walking in front was Diruda, whom Obito had met before, followed by Boro, then Victor and Dipa, and at the end were Aida and Dimon.

"Shell tissue!"

An Xiao, Orochimaru and the others were all startled. They realized that the people in front of them should be members of the Kara Organization directly under Otsutsuki Isshiki.

If people had only a vague concept of the 'Kara Organization' before, after experiencing the battle of Konoha, everyone knew that the 'Kara Organization' was not just for show and its strength should not be underestimated.

At this time, Diruda came in front of everyone, put his hands on his hips and said, "I really don't understand what's the point of calling you useless people!"

Orochimaru smiled sinisterly and said, "Interesting!"

Kabuto Yakushi, who was standing beside Orochimaru, pushed the frame of his glasses on his nose and said, "There's something wrong with the details of the skin. It must have been modified."

Scorpion put aside his prejudice against Orochimaru and said, "There are obvious signs of machinery!"

Deidara smiled and said, "I heard this guy can fly?"

Listening to everyone's comments on him, Diluda angrily asked, "Are you looking for death?"

Boro took a step forward, grinned, and matched Diruda's anger, as if he was ready to start a fight if they disagreed.

Ranmaru then pointed at Boro's right rib and said calmly, "There's an abnormal chakra reaction in that area!"

Boro's expression suddenly changed.

Ranmaru then said, "Move to the left shoulder!"

Bei Liuhu, who had just stitched his hands, curled his lips and said, "It should be some kind of core. I really want to crush it and see if he can recover!"

Boro's demonstration not only failed to convince the crowd, but he himself was also included in the crowd's criticism.

When one's strength is not strong enough, intelligence is often the key to victory or defeat.

Although Diruda and Boro completed the mission beautifully in Konoha, they also inevitably leaked their own information.

And in the eyes of people like Anxiao and Orochimaru, this information is a chance for victory!
Just when the two sides were on the verge of a fight, Obito came out and said to Diruda: "If you want to continue to cause trouble, we will accompany you!"

Diruda frowned.

She was not afraid of the people in front of her, but was worried that a fight at this time would disrupt Otsutsuki Isshiki's arrangements, so she snorted.

Obito didn't want to fall out with the people from "Kara" at this time. Seeing that Diruda had calmed down, he comforted the people from Dark Akatsuki and then thought about how to gain the greatest benefit from this battle.

Swish.
At this moment, a space-time gate appeared out of thin air in front of everyone. Then, Otsutsuki Isshiki and Otsutsuki Toneri slowly walked out of the space-time gate.

Seeing Otsutsuki Isshiki appear, everyone from Kara, Akatsuki, and Orochimaru bowed to him.

Otsutsuki Isshiki smiled and said, "Don't be so nervous, we will soon be able to rule the entire ninja world!"

He looked relaxed, as if this was not a gathering before a war, but more like an outing.

But no matter what, the calmness he displayed made everyone present feel a lot more relaxed.

Immediately, everyone's eyes fell on Otsutsuki Toneri who was following behind Otsutsuki Isshiki.

Toneri was wearing gorgeous Otsutsuki costume and had powerful chakra, which made everyone present realize instantly that they were not the only ones that Otsutsuki Isshiki could rely on, and there was another Otsutsuki supporting him behind Otsutsuki Isshiki!
Obito and Zetsu looked at each other silently. This was obviously not good news.

Orochimaru, who was unaware of the situation, also looked gloomy.

He came to the rally just to find out for Shinji how much power Otsutsuki Isshiki had gathered. Now that he saw Otsutsuki Toneri, he felt something was wrong.

Similarly, Otsutsuki Toneri was also looking at the members of the Kara Organization and Akatsuki, silently estimating their combat power.
The first update is here!
