The three greatest powers in the Shinobi World were Konoha, Akatsuki, and the Eye Organization.
Each of these top-tier forces had Super-Kage-level powerhouses overseeing them.
There was naturally nothing much to say about Konoha, but the world was indeed doubtful of Akatsuki and the Eye Organization, knowing little about the true goals of these two major organizations.
What exactly were they planning to do by gathering so many powerful people?
"I heard that the Eye Organization's goal seems to be hunting the Ōtsutsuki. Intelligence personnel from every village came to that conclusion. After all, they only accept dojutsu users, which is strange in itself... So Akatsuki's goal is the Tailed Beasts, then."
Roshi stared coldly at Kisame across from him.
Over the years, information about the Ōtsutsuki had continued to spread, and people had gradually learned that most of the ancient shinobi clans in the Shinobi World carried part of the Ōtsutsuki bloodline.
Naturally, clans with dojutsu Bloodline Limits, such as the Uchiha and Hyuga Clan, were also descendants of the Ōtsutsuki.
Targeting dojutsu users was equivalent to targeting the Ōtsutsuki. Not to mention that the Ōtsutsuki naturally possessed advanced dojutsu Bloodline Limits.
Thus, it was not difficult to infer that the Eye Organization's target might be the Ōtsutsuki.
But they had always lacked convincing evidence.
"Heh, I don't know much about the Eye Organization either. If they're hunting the Ōtsutsuki, Konoha and Akatsuki are doing the same thing—aside from the dead Sage of Six Paths, every other Ōtsutsuki deserves to die."
These days, if one hadn't killed an Ōtsutsuki, one was almost too embarrassed to call oneself a top power in the Shinobi World.
Akatsuki had killed Toneri, Konoha had killed Toneri's father and Urashiki, and the Eye Organization seemed to have made moves against the Ōtsutsuki as well,
