As soon as I'm a couple dozen meters outside of the camp...
<Shunshin>
So it begins, my journey well into the Land of Water...
…
...
...
While on the road, I try to organize the information I got from Danzo and combine it with my knowledge of the canon Naruto timeline. This way I can finally get a clear picture of what is the current situation on the Land of Water...
So... the Land of Water has the smallest landmass of the five great nations. Their territory is mostly water.
The country's landmass is composed of many islands, each having its own unique people and respective culture.
The weather is temperate all-year-round and the islands are usually covered by mist. The islands themselves also feature many lakes.
Little else is known about the country and it apparently leaves itself out of most political affairs. This is due to the fact that it is composed of vast islands relatively far from the continent containing the other four major countries.
It's doesn't come as a surprise for each small settlement to have adopted an isolationist policy regarding foreign conflicts...
What it is known, however, is that the country used to be overwhelmed by wars between clans during the Warring States Period...
It was during this period, that most of the Kekkei Genkai users -and their clans- earned fearful reputations as slaughterers and monsters. Sometimes fighting for their own clan, sometimes selling themselves as mercenaries...
Naturally, it caused many to view certain clans as harbingers of war and death...
It means that Obito didn't start a civil war out of nowhere... He just gave them a little push... After all, even if the Mizukage says something like: 'Hey let's kill anyone with a Kekkei Genkai', no one is going to just say: 'Yeah that sounds like a good idea'...
Not without a reason anyway...

Also, the ninja clans who founded Kirigakure have a higher standing than the ones who were 'integrated' after being conquered...
Currently, the Mist Village in the brink of civil war... Danzo has been trying to make it happen for some time now... But the Mist Village Council and the leaders of the Land of Water are no fools. They have been sending out the clan ninja on consistently hard and even suicidal missions...
All of that just to keep civil war from erupting...
Though that method is just a time bomb waiting to go off...
The Land of Water also has a good relationship with the Land of the Sea. Kiri shinobi take a lot of missions from there.
...
...
...
After some time, I have arrived to the heart of the Land of Water. The main island where both Kirigakure and the country's Capital are. This is where the Daimyo lives.
There are going to be a lot of opportunities for me here...
...
I think back on the several clan compound locations on the map that Danzo prepared for me. That bastard is really useful...
That is probably why the 3rd Hokage kept him around… Danzo is not afraid to get his hands dirty to get what he wants and doesn't care about his reputation...
Anyway, I change my direction towards a certain clan hideout...
...
...
When I arrive there I see that the clan compound doesn't have any strong chakra signals...
I know from the anime that the Kaguya Clan is dumb enough to challenge the Mist Village all by itself, just to satisfy their bloodlust...
But to leave their clan compound almost completely unprotected? ...
I am not nice enough to let a chance like this go... Not when there is so much loot for the taking...
...
...
...
-(1 hour and 30 minutes later)-
...
The Kaguya clan compound is all covered in blood... Civilians... Men, women, children, elderly... even the cattle… none were spared... They've all been killed in the most efficient way possible: their brains pierced with a senbon or throats slit with a kunai...

...
(Third Person POV)
...
In the engawa (Japanese style porch) of the Clan Head's mansion, a person -or what remained of it- could be seen... The lifeless body nailed to the wall by dozens of senbon...
There are clear signs of struggle... The cheeks slightly moistened, maybe by tears or just the night dew...
And many other characteristics best left to the imagination...
Right next to where the blood puddle stops its way through the wood... There's a kid of approximately 10-13 years old, sitting in a lotus position on the floor, who appears to be reading some old books and scrolls...
His eyes stand out in the dark... with a bloodshot color, along with strange markings on both of them...
...
(End Third Person POV)
...
The person nailed to the wall used to be the wife of the Clan Head. I had just tortured some information out of her.
I am currently studying some books about the Kaguya Clan's Kekkei Genkai: Shikotsumyaku (Dead Bone Pulse).
It was an extremely rare and feared bloodline even within the clan itself. It was often regarded as the definitive Taijutsu Technique by many experts.
But of course, that was without considering Kaguya's Tomogoroshi no Haikotsu (Murderous Bone Ash) or the Eight Inner Gates Technique...
In any case, all of the clan's users of this Kekkei Genkai are out on a battlefield right now... Damn, talk about bad luck...
I wasn't able to find even a kid with the Kaguya bloodline in the Clan Compound...
...
...
...
-(1 hour later)-
...
After I memorized all the techniques and information of the Kaguya clan.
I made another check-up around the compound just to be sure, so as to not leave behind any loose end or the cliched 10-years-later-revenge kid...
Just as back then with the Sky Village... No survivors...
I always follow my patented method of 'KILOBU', which stands for: Kill everyone, Loot anything of value and then Burn whatever's left.
It delivers the best results for the less amount of risk of getting tracked or killed. Flawless work I take much pride on.
...
By the way, the Sharingan is really useful. This photographic memory is one of the best abilities of the Sharingan. Even more so for someone like me.
I mean sure... I might have a good memory, but like any other average human I eventually start forgetting things... But… if I see something with my Sharingan I'll never forget it.
Localized Eidetic Memory Processing Capabilities… Or just photographic memory for short… It makes learning things way easier.
Anyway, getting a bit sidetracked there...
I also looted 45.000.000 Ryo from the clan's vault. Now I have a total of 967.000.000 Ryo to my name. That is equivalent to approximately 19.760.100 USD...
Not bad for a kid huh?
*Poof* *Poof* *Poof* *Poof* *Poof*
I make 5 shadow clones. They have to burn everything here while I get away... You know I wouldn't have it any other way... After that, they will dispel themselves.
In other words a perfect mission with no evidence of my activities.
Except for the massacring of hundreds of people and the destruction of an entire clan compound... Not much really...
I won't linger here a second longer. After all, a fire for a ninja is just like saying: 'Hey I am here, come kill me please'.
Oh, one more thing... The information I got from the clan head's wife?
...
The whereabouts of her husband and the Kaguya Clan army...
Naturally, that is my next destination...
<Shunshin>
