All Out (First Update)
One day earlier, at a secret base of the Akatsuki.
"Based on the intelligence I have gathered so far, that's the case."
Zetsu gave a detailed report on all the information he had gathered about Hawking during his month-long infiltration of Konoha.
"A person from another world, who can transfer the Nine-Tails by connecting with the Nine-Tailed Jinchuriki, appeared in this world for an hour. Is there really such a thing?"
After hearing Zetsu's report, Uchiha Obito also showed an expression of disbelief.
The Nine-Tailed Jinchuriki named Hawking last time displayed too much power; he simply took one of Nagato's Rinnegan right before his eyes.
The final Ninjutsu attack before he left really startled him.
If we don't find out the information about this new Nine-Tailed Jinchuriki, many things will be impossible to move forward.
So he sent Zetsu to infiltrate Konoha and do everything he could to gather information about Hawking and find out what was going on with this new Nine-Tailed Jinchuriki.
Initially, the intelligence indicated that Hawking came from Mount Myōboku. Later, through in-depth investigation and by using various methods, they finally obtained complete information about Hawking from several Konoha High Command in Konoha.
"Based on your observation, he is summoned from Mount Myōboku to Konoha by Naruto every afternoon at 2 PM, and disappears at 3 PM?"
"That's how it should be normally, but he hasn't shown up these past few days."
Jue reported.
As Kaguya Otsutsuki's third son, he possessed some of Kaguya Otsutsuki memories and had some guesses about Hawking's situation.
He believes that Hawking may be from another planet in the universe, and that he accidentally made some contact with this planet, which led to this situation.
"It didn't appear?"
Obito's brows furrowed involuntarily.
To implement the Eye of the Moon Plan and create a world where Rin exists, it is necessary to collect the Chakra of the Nine Tailed Beasts, revive the Ten-Tails to become the Divine Tree, and activate the Infinite Tsukuyomi.
The Eight-Tails has not yet been captured, but he has already hidden Kisame inside Samehada, who will be taken away by the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki. Capturing it is only a matter of time.
The troublesome one is the Nine-Tails.
It seems that under normal circumstances, the Nine-Tailed Jinchuriki will still be Naruto, but after Hawking appears, it will become Hawking.
To capture the Nine-Tails, it's best to avoid the time when Hawking appears and capture it when the Nine-Tails is inside Naruto's body.
So he was planning to lead the entire Akatsuki out before 2 PM or after 3 PM to destroy Konoha, capture Naruto, extract the Nine-Tails from his body, and avoid conflict with Hawking.
But Hawking hasn't appeared in Konoha these past few days, which makes things uncertain again.
"Why don't we wait a little longer, until I see Hawking appear and then see him disappear, before we move out to capture the Nine-Tailed Jinchuriki?"
Zetsu noticed Obito's concerns and offered his opinion.
Obito, however, shook his head:
"We can't wait any longer. The entire Ninja World has united to hunt down Akatsuki, and they won't be able to hide for long."
Since Naruto and Jiraiya were able to summon him from Mount Myōboku, it's normal that you couldn't find him after he disappeared for a few days.
"We've decided to launch a full-scale attack on Konoha tomorrow at 4 PM. We must successfully capture the Nine-Tailed Jinchuriki."
He paused for a moment at this point:
"If things don't go well, you control Nagato's body and activate the Rinne Rebirth to revive Uchiha Madara."
In his original plan, he did not intend to revive Uchiha Madara.
Although the Eye of the Moon Plan was devised by Uchiha Madara, he was saved by Uchiha Madara back then.
But deep down, he didn't completely trust Uchiha Madara. Instead of letting Madara be resurrected to complete the Eye of the Moon Plan, why didn't he do it himself?
The result is the same anyway.
A world with Lin, a world of complete peace without war, a happy world where everyone can get what they want.
However, if an unexpected situation arises and the entire battle is turned around, then he will need to rely on the power of Uchiha Madara to deal with Hawking.
The information Jue had gathered about Hawking was too outlandish. If it was inaccurate or wrong, even with Akatsuki's current strength, he might not necessarily be able to win against Konoha and Hawking.
Even if the intelligence is accurate, we still have to consider the worst-case scenario: Hawking didn't appear at the normal time, but instead showed up halfway through their fight.
Actually, there's an even worse possibility.
If Hawking were to actually appear, the Nine-Tails would transfer into Hawking body, rendering it useless even if they captured Naruto Nine-Tailed Jinchuriki Naruto, extracted the Nine-Tails, and sealed it into the Ten-Tails' husk.
Because as soon as Hawking appeared in this world, the Nine-Tails disappeared.
He didn't want to finally revive the Ten-Tails, only to have it suddenly revert to its original form because the Nine-Tails disappeared.
Or worse, just after completing the Infinite Tsukuyomi, Hawking came to this world, the Nine-Tails returned to Hawking's body, the Divine Tree was released because it no longer had the Nine-Tails, everyone was freed from the control of the Divine Tree, Infinite Tsukuyomi also disappeared.
Therefore, the safest solution would actually be to kill Hawking. Hawking were dead, this situation would naturally not occur.
"No problem."
Jue smiled and nodded.
Of course, Uchiha Madara must be resurrected. Only by resurrecting Uchiha Madara and activating the Infinite Tsukuyomi can his mother, Kaguya Otsutsuki, be freed from her seal on the moon.
"Then let's go and persuade Nagato!"
Obito put on the mask and transformed into Tobi, then used Kamui to disappear from the spot.
The following day, at four o'clock in the afternoon, twelve ninjas dressed in the Akatsuki's standard Fire Cloud Robe appeared in the forest outside Konohagakure.
They are Nagato's Six Paths of Pain of Pain, Sasuke's Team Hawk, Konan, and Obito.
After Hawking took one of his Rinnegan last time, Nagato's Eye Power was greatly reduced, and he thought he would no longer be able to control the Six Paths Puppet with ease.
However, after resting and recuperating, he discovered that while losing one Rinnegan greatly reduced his Eye Power, it also reduced the burden the Rinnegan placed on his body by half, making it easier to control the Six Paths Puppet.
Sasuke was willing to join Akatsuki because Obito told him that once he gathered the Nine-Tails and created a super war weapon, he could lend him the power to take revenge on Konoha.
Now that Akatsuki has decided to destroy Konoha, he naturally couldn't be happier.
As for Konan and Obito, one was originally meant to stay by Nagato's side, while the other remained hidden behind the scenes for many years.
But it appeared here again this time.
Before formulating the plan, Obito considered that if Hawking appeared, Zetsu would need to control Nagato to activate the Rinne Rebirth to revive Uchiha Madara. Konan, who was guarding Nagato's side, would inevitably intervene to stop him.
Therefore, he deliberately brought Konan here because Konoha's current strength was not easy to deal with. In order to avoid her suspicion, he also stopped hiding behind the scenes.
As for the other members of Akatsuki, Itachi died at Sasuke, Kisame hid with the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki, Deidara died in a self-destruction during his battle with Sasuke, and Sasori was killed by Granny Chiyo and Sakura working together.
Kakuzu and Hidan were captured alive by Hawking and are currently serving time in Konoha.
"I'll go in and draw all the fire. Madara and Konan will capture the Nine-Tailed Jinchuriki. Sasuke Team Hawk..."
Deva Path Pain was about to assign tasks when Sasuke Teuchi:
"My targets are Danzo, Mitokado Homura, and Utatane Koharu. Only after I kill them will I help you destroy Konoha."
"Good."
Deva Path Pain nodded and threw the Animal Path, which could summon the other Five Paths, into Konoha first.
