To be honest, if Shimizu were in Rasa's position, he definitely wouldn't be so blatant.
He would first feign reconciliation and outwardly display his magnanimity.
As long as you are willing to support me, even if we had conflicts in the past, I will let bygones be bygones.
I can tolerate even those who have grudges against me, let alone others?
Those without grudges will naturally receive benefits, and those who are already firmly following me will receive even more.
Once everything settles down, some accidental events that seem to have nothing to do with oneself can easily occur.
Of course, this is what Shimizu would do if he were in Rasa's situation.
Because Rasa's strength is insufficient, he is at a disadvantage in this game and must try every means to pull in all the power he can.
If there is an absolute advantage in strength, brute force alone can win, then Shimizu also doesn't like holding grudges.
Maki went to find Sago, Shimizu notified Sasori, and then went to find Yekura.
A dozen minutes later, the four-person team gathered at a side door outside Sunagakure.
Sunagakure now has two gateways, one is Ichizoku no Chi, which serves as an important defense node for the inner city. If Ichizoku no Chi is not captured, Sunagakure is almost impossible to be conquered.
With the opening of the canal and the advent of chakra-powered vehicles, the once-narrow Ichizoku no Chi is no longer suitable as Sunagakure's main gate.
Sunagakure needs to develop, so it must improve transportation. A large area of land outside has been built with many buildings around the wide river, and from time to time, several chakra-powered vehicles can be seen speeding on the earth-style modified ground.
Finally, under the influence of merchants' spontaneous commercial activities and the powerful productivity of ninjas, an external commercial city was built outside the original Sunagakure, eventually forming an inner city and an outer city.
The meeting point for Shimizu and his group of four was not the main gate of the outer city, but a remote small door.
There was too much traffic there, and too many people were watching. Although the secrecy level of their mission was not as high as Rasa and Ebizo's to the point of being unable to see the light, it was still relatively high and not suitable for being seen by others.
"Lord Shimizu."
A young man who looked tall and thin, with a very handsome face, walked up to Shimizu.
In an instant, Shimizu became wary of this young Jonin.
TMD, this guy is a little too handsome, his appearance is actually not below me!
"You are Jonin Sago, indeed a talented person."
Shimizu put on a smiling expression and shook hands with Sago.
"Lord Shimizu, you flatter me."
Sago showed a handsome smile and responded to Shimizu.
This Lord Shimizu is not bad looking either!
Only one level below himself.
However, it seems that he has a close relationship with the equally young female Jonin next to him.
"Well, then I will introduce myself and Yekura first. Maki is fine, everyone should know him."
Shimizu pointed to Yekura.
"Yekura, Jonin, specializes in Wind Release and Fire Release, as well as the Bloodline Limit Scorch Release, and also knows some swordsmanship."
"As for me… I am very good at Wind Release and Lightning Release, I have the Bloodline Limit Particle Release, I am also quite good at puppetry and swordsmanship, medical ninjutsu and sealing techniques are so-so, enough for general situations."
Sago's eyebrows twitched.
Isn't he splitting himself into three or four people!
"Sago, twenty years old, specializes in Fire Release and Earth Release, and is also okay at genjutsu."
"Okay, I'll say what needs to be said on the road."
Shimizu waved his hand.
During Shippuden, it took Kakashi three days to travel from Konohagakure to Sunagakure at full speed.
At that time, Old Kakashi had made great progress in strength after three years of training and was already a solid Kage-level master.
Now, the distance from Sunagakure to Kusagakure is actually a bit closer, and this team is also full of Jonin-level or higher masters, so the time spent is about three or four days.
But before that, they have to cross Amegakure first.
"Amazing, Senior Hanzo, you were actually able to see through our disguise. It seems that you have some amazing sensory ninjas under your command."
In a forest within Amegakure, Shimizu stood in front of Yekura, Maki, and Sago, with a smile on his face, looking at the old man standing in the forest ahead, surrounded by a group of Ame ninjas.
"Shimizu-kun, sneaking around is not a good habit. Amegakure is very grateful to you for opening that canal, which has made our post-war economic construction much smoother, but a ninja with such great strength like you, no matter which ninja village it is, will not be at ease watching you lead a group of Jonin, disguised and lurking into their country…"
Hanzo, carrying a chain sickle, walked out from among the Ame ninjas and said to Shimizu.
Shimizu silently took off the rain hat he was wearing and reached out to grab his face, removing the mask he was using for disguise.
This mask is similar to Orochimaru's Face Stealing Technique and is used to disguise identity.
It's just not as convenient and quick as the former, which can directly peel off other people's faces and use them, but requires a long period of processing and drawing to create a mask.
He had the people in the team wear this in order to hide their identities.
Many ninja villages are wary of the Transformation Technique, and sensory ninjas can easily detect it.
However, directly using a human skin mask, unless it is a special sensory ninja with abnormal sensitivity to human chakra, or using a dojutsu bloodline such as Byakugan or Sharingan that can directly see through human chakra, it is difficult to detect with normal sensory methods.
Logically speaking, small countries like Kusagakure and Amegakure do not have such special types of talent.
They didn't want to leak the news and startle the snake, so they disguised themselves after leaving the Land of Wind, but they didn't expect to be recognized.
Shimizu quietly used Transparent World to observe a slightly short figure among the Ame ninjas.
The other party seemed to be alert and slightly raised his head to look at Shimizu.
This guy… has something.
However, if it's him, it's also reasonable.
After all, it's Rinnegan + Uzumaki bloodline + Senju bloodline.
The current ninja world is very different from the ninja world in Shimizu's memory, the original timeline.
