While flooding had made entrance into Michi no Sato from the North impossible, there were those who planned to use the weather as a distraction for a more important mission. The wars out in the east were still going on, and news of shinobi in Michi had reached multiple sides. A bounty had been placed on the head of this new little ninja village to garner support from the west.
A small group of mercenaries had infiltrated Michi no Sato. The peaceful village didn't even notice. They were prepared, of course. They'd heard rumors of how skilled this man was. They needed to incapacitate him first, lest they meet their deaths at his hands.
Itachi had been walking through the market. Supplemental oxygen made it much easier to finally get out on his own. In fact, it had been quite a lovely day until he felt a strange pin prick on the back of his neck as he turned a corner. And suddenly, everything went black.
"Too easy." their leader snarled. "Let's move out. Get that body out of here before someone sees us."
