Akatsuki, Move Out!

The base of the Akatsuki.

The entire base resembled a hellish prison in the apocalypse, filled with Tailed Beast or Jinchuriki directly bound by Yin Yang Release Black Rod.

Besides the Nine-Tails ...

The other Tailed Beast in the Shinobi World fell into their hands.

Certainly.

The Akatsuki also paid a price.

For example, Deidara lost an arm, but fortunately, Shirou Emiya, a skilled medical ninja, helped to recreate a new arm.

"Huh?"

"Will this even work?"

Deidara shook his new arm, then curiously opened his palm, only to see a mouth on it, which greatly shocked him. "It looks exactly like my original arm! I can't believe there's such amazing Medical Ninjutsu in the world!"

"Do you want to see who treated you...?"

Sasori of the Red Sand couldn't help but mutter a curse, unable to understand how Deidara could maintain such a youthful mind and mentality!

What a complete idiot!

The person who treated the illness was Shirou Emiya!

Compared to Deidara's severed arm, Sasuke Uchiha's situation was rather dire. This guy defeated the Two Tails Jinchuriki and then went on to challenge the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki...

All I can say is...

Fortunately, Madara Uchiha was by his side.

Fortunately, Shirou Emiya was still in the Akatsuki.

Sasuke Uchiha truly escaped with his life.

"Fortunately, Lord Shirou is here..."

"Let's discuss our next battle plan now."

Seeing that Sasuke Uchiha's injuries had stabilized, Madara Uchiha invited Shirou Emiya to discuss their next battle plan, since capturing the eight Tailed Beasts of the Shinobi World was just a minor matter.

The real big problem.

It all comes down to the Obito Uchiha.

"Obito Uchiha will definitely not give up on the Eye of the Moon Plan."

Madara Uchiha considered himself a keen judge of character. He had personally driven Obito Uchiha to despair, and he believed Obito Uchiha's mindset would never change. "Now that we've captured eight Tailed Beasts, that guy must be getting anxious..."

"But we still haven't found his whereabouts..."

Black Zetsu stood next to Shirou Emiya and whispered something.

He can't hide it.

Madara Uchiha chuckled, as if he knew Obito Uchiha's personality very well. "That guy can't sit still when there's a problem, and he's not someone who can tolerate much..."

It has to be said.

Madara Uchiha incredibly perceptive in judging people.

Obito Uchiha gained power, he became arrogant and self-important.

Only...

It seems that most Uchiha have this common problem.

"Continue according to our established plan..."

Madara Uchiha looked at Shirou Emiya and said in a deep voice, "That guy should be making a move soon, and his target is definitely the Tailed Beast we have."

Nobody is a fool.

Whether it was Shirou Emiya, Madara Uchiha, or Black Zetsu, all three present had extremely firm goals.

"It doesn't matter if he gets all eight Tailed Beasts..."

Shirou Emiya didn't Obito Uchiha's thoughts, or even how far Obito Uchiha could go.

Actually...

Even if Obito Uchiha truly revived the Ten-Tails, or even became its Ten-Tails Jinchuriki, it wouldn't matter, but Shirou Emiya couldn't say that.

After all...

Shirou Emiya wanted to care about Black Zetsu's thoughts.

If Black Zetsu overthinks things and believes that Shirou Emiya doesn't care about a Ten-Tails Jinchuriki, he might even suspect that Shirou Emiya could resurrect Kaguya Otsutsuki.

Shirou Emiya set out the bottom line that Black Zetsu could accept. "As long as he doesn't get his hands on the Nine-Tails."

"It doesn't matter if he gets the Nine-Tails..."

Madara Uchiha was far more unrestrained than Shirou Emiya, and said with a hearty laugh, "Even reviving the Ten-Tails is fine, I have plenty of ways to weaken that kid anyway..."

"Don't be too careless, Madara."

"Once Obito Uchiha becomes the Ten-Tails, his Chakra will undergo a qualitative change..."

When Black Zetsu got to this point, he specifically mentioned Shirou Emiya: "Wei Yuan is the one who possesses that power. You should be able to see just how powerful that power is from Wei Yuan..."

"..."

Madara Uchiha immediately fell into deep thought.

Although Shirou Emiya has never made a move in recent years, he has never forgotten the terrifying, mountain-like soul that Shirou Emiya broke when the Genjutsu was broken in the past.

It turns out...

Can it really come to this?

"It seems we'll have to split up."

Madara Uchiha had to revise his plans. His eyes flashed as he came up with an idea. "Then let Lord Shirou go and attack Konoha. The rest of you will accompany him, while Sasuke stay at the Akatsuki's Lord Shirou..."

"The Nine-Tails Jinchuriki is not in Konoha..."

Black Zetsu could only bring up this troublesome matter, and also mentioned his own troubling problem. "We still haven't found out where Naruto Uzumaki is..."

"This kind of thing is completely irrelevant."

Madara Uchiha shook his head and said indifferently, "Our goal now is to lure that idiot Obito into a trap..."

"About the Nine-Tails..."

"Let's catch that idiot first."

Madara Uchiha tapped his fingers lightly, making a gesture as if he were grabbing his head. "There's always a way to get the whereabouts of the Nine-Tails from those people in Konoha."

"Shouldn't we have Sasuke come along?"

Shirou Emiya glanced at Madara Uchiha with some surprise.

"That kid's will isn't strong enough."

Madara Uchiha lowered his eyes, showing great care for Sasuke Uchiha, the boy he had raised. "Although that brat already believes he has betrayed Konoha, he certainly won't be of much use in this attack on Konoha. It's better for him to stay and help me deal with Obito Uchiha..."

"Let's do it that way then."

Shirou Emiya nodded slightly.

Due to their actions during this period, the Akatsuki has become well-known throughout the Shinobi World, with countless ninjas lurking in the Rain Country to gather information.

Therefore, it is difficult for the Akatsuki to keep its operations a secret.

Shirou Emiya led the Akatsuki members in a collective operation to lure Obito Uchiha. He did not choose to use Yomotsu Hirasaka, but instead made a high-profile move, which naturally attracted the attention of many ninjas who were gathering intelligence.

"The Akatsuki has mobilized!"

"Judging from their route, they should be from Konoha!"

"The person dispatched was Shirou Emiya. Information about Madara Uchiha is unknown; he was likely left behind in Akatsuki to guard the Tailed Beast they captured!"

A group of ninjas quickly began sending intelligence to their respective villages.

Although they all have plans to reclaim the Tailed Beast, it seems unlikely that Madara Uchiha will have much of a chance if he is in charge of guarding Tailed Beast ...

After all...

That guy single-handedly destroyed the Hidden Cloud Village!

There's still no news about the Fourth Raikage of Hidden Cloud Village!

The reason there is no news about the Fourth Raikage of Hidden Cloud Village is that he was indeed seriously injured in the battle against Madara Uchiha and fell into a long-term coma.

Before the Fourth Raikage fell into a coma, he gave his orders to his subordinates to send him to Konoha Village. One reason was to ensure that the medical ninjas of Hidden Cloud Village could not save him, and the other was to take this opportunity to discuss with Tsunade how to resolve the crisis of the Akatsuki.

If it were the Third Hokage, the Fourth Raikage certainly wouldn't have wanted to do this. He was suspicious of everyone else in Konoha, but he had met Tsunade when she was traveling the Tsunade Shinobi World healing people. Tsunade had saved the life of one of his subordinates, so the two of them could be considered to have some kind of relationship. In the eyes of the Fourth Raikage, this Fifth Hokage of Konoha was very trustworthy.

Konoha Hospital.

Tsunade's face showed a hint of worry.

Tsunade never expected that the Fourth Raikage would appear in Konoha Village at such a dangerous time, and even be brought there on a stretcher.

After listening to the explanations of the Kumogakure, Tsunade understood the Fourth Raikage's thoughts, and she had no choice but to send the Raikage to Konoha Hospital for treatment.

"Tsunade."

"Your Medical Ninjutsu is truly excellent..."

The Fourth Raikage awoke, his body wrapped in bandages. Even when praising Tsunade's medical skills, he maintained a cold expression, looking nothing like someone who had come to ask for a favor.

"I am somewhat curious."

Tsunade stood outside the hospital room window, arms crossed, looking down at the Kumogakure stationed below. "Just how strong is Madara to have beaten you up like this..."

"..."

The Fourth Raikage fell silent.

Obviously.

When Madara Uchiha is mentioned...

Even the Fourth Raikage, known for his resolute character and tough style, was somewhat depressed, his mind subconsciously recalling the terrifying Susanoo that was as big as a mountain.

One cut...

Just one slash...

Not only was he, the Raikage, utterly defeated...

The entire Hidden Cloud Village was ruthlessly destroyed by that single strike!

Since the founding of Hidden Cloud Village, they have never encountered such a terrifying enemy, and their home has never been destroyed so easily as on that day!

"That guy..."

When the Fourth Raikage spoke of Madara Uchiha, recalling that almost world-destroying scene, beads of cold sweat finally began to appear on his forehead.

"I'm no match for him..."

"..."

Tsunade couldn't help but retort, somewhat annoyed, "Do I need you to tell me this? Of course you're no match for Madara!"

"You don't understand..."

The Fourth Raikage shook his head, trying to explain the fear he felt towards Madara Uchiha: "We are not... on the same level as him."

"My grandfather was the First Hokage."

Tsunade spoke of her grandfather's reputation with a hint of helplessness. She wasn't particularly afraid of Madara Uchiha, because Madara Uchiha was her grandfather's defeated opponent.

And...

When I was very young...

Tsunade had heard that Madara Uchiha had also been defeated by Shirou Emiya.

Compared to Madara Uchiha, whom the Fourth Raikage feared, Tsunade feared even more Shirou Emiya, who had once been like a teacher and father to her.

Really...

When you mention someone, that person will appear.

A Konoha ninja quickly delivered information about Shirou Emiya.

"Lady Tsunade..."

"The Akatsuki have been mobilized."

"The leader is Lord Shirou."
