"Well... it's worth thirty million taels, it's really a bit difficult!"
Hidan stood up carelessly like a normal person, while Kakuzu on the side also looked intact.
"Hey! Kakuzu, this guy is pretty good, just leave it to me! If he can sacrifice such a high-quality life to Lord Jashin, he will definitely be very satisfied!"
"Okay, then leave it to me to capture the fake Nine-Tails Jinchuriki. By the way, don't overdo it. At least the body left behind must be identifiable by who it is!"
"Okay, okay, I got it! Elderly people, can you stop nagging and go do your work!"
Hidan waved his hand impatiently, and then rushed towards Jirōbō with an excited smile.
One day later.
Land of Rain.
"Kakuzu and Hidan have successfully captured the fake Nine-Tails Jinchuriki. Now they have just exchanged the bounty from the black market and will return to Land of Rain soon!"
Black and White Zetsu emerged from the pitcher plant and reported the situation to Nagato in front of him.
"In addition, those Takigakure ninjas also brought Seven-Tails Jinchuriki to Land of Rain to join in the fun and want to bet on us, but the funny thing is that they actually asked to help us occupy the status of a big country after solving Konohagakure!"
"These ninja villages have a fundamental conflict with Orochimaru who want to draw up a new order for Shinobi World. They will not take refuge in Orochimaru. If they want to occupy a place among Shinobi World in the future, they can only choose us. However, this Takigakure actually wants to seek the status of a great power. It is indeed a bit ignorant!"
Nagato said with a stern expression.
Whether Takigakure wants to occupy the position of a great power after this Ninja Wars is over, or the four great powers want to restore their past glory, Nagato is not going to agree to it even after defeating Orochimaru!
In Nagato's view, whether it is himself or Orochimaru, whom he regards as his old enemy, the ultimate goal is always the same. They want to bring real and long-lasting peace to this Shinobi World, but the way they achieve peace is fundamentally different from the kind of peace they want.
Orochimaru believes that the most important reasons for Shinobi World in the past, when big countries were divided on one side and wars continued, were due to the unreasonable Ninja Village system and the current Shinobi World's underdeveloped productivity, which caused uneven distribution of interests, so he hopes to Create a huge political power that can manage the entire Shinobi World, carry out macro-level regulation, achieve a reasonable distribution of resources and interests, and mobilize the power of the entire Shinobi World to concentrate on major tasks and comprehensively promote the liberation of Shinobi World productivity.
Then during this process, Orochimaru can also "incidentally" borrow the power of all Shinobi World to contribute to his own truth research.
Orochimaru turned all of the above into supplementary ingredients for the "New Era Will of Fire" and wrote it in the Konoha Ninja Academy's textbook as his own will as Hokage.
As for Nagato, he hasn't read a few books since he was a child, and his only teacher is Jiraiya, a guy who was at the tail end of theoretical knowledge during the Ninja Academy period.
Even the guy who later promoted Nagato to form this kind of thinking was still Obito Uchiha, Kenji, so to be honest, his idea is actually not very complicated to a certain extent.
Nagato himself has felt the pain in Land of Rain and hopes to achieve peace to eliminate the pain, so he will create a Ten-Tails to make the entire Shinobi World feel the pain in order to achieve peace for the entire Shinobi World!
And in the past, who made him feel pain?
It's the ninja villages of those big countries!
The war caused by Five Great Shinobi Villages is the source of these pains, and Five Kage, who issued those decisions to fight cholera Shinobi World for the sake of profit, is the root of these pains!
If it weren't for the conquests between these big countries, how could Land of Rain be reduced to a battlefield, how could his parents die, and how could Yahiko be killed?
If Orochimaru can be defeated, then Nagato, who ended Ninja Wars this time, will not think about restoring those big countries, let alone a mere Takigakure who wants to seek the status of a big country!
"If you agree to Takigakure's request, just agree to it. As long as Takigakure ceases to exist in the future, even if I want him to gain the status of a great country, I won't be able to find anyone who can fulfill his promise at that time."
Nagato slowly shook his head. Through the example of Sunagakure, he could take a higher look at those great ninja villages with profound heritage. As for Takigakure, if there was no Seven-Tails Jinchuriki, then he would probably just ignore it.
"Hey, Takigakure, it is indeed a village that likes to dream. In this regard, the guy Kakuzu has the most say."
Black Zetsu didn't pay much attention to Takigakure either.
He is almost the oldest creature in the entire Shinobi World, and he is also very familiar with the whimsical operations of Takigakure back then.
Send a Kakuzu to assassinate God of Shinobi, First Hokage Hashirama Senju, in order to frighten Shinobi World to seek the status of a great power?
This kind of brain circuit Black Zetsu doesn't know what those people think.
Back then, Kakuzu lost a shuriken eight hundred miles away. Hashirama split a clone of Wood Release to chase him. In the end, he finally managed to split Wood Release. After all the Chakra in his body was used up, he found out that it was just a clone made of wood. His mentality exploded on the spot, and he went back to kill all the senior officials of Takigakure and took away the secret technique of Earth Grudge Fear.
After that, Takigakure has been languishing.
As a result, now, Takigakure has begun to dream of becoming a ninja village in a great country.
It can be said that this village can be regarded as the village with the least b-number.
"Now that the last Seven-Tails has arrived, Land of Rain, and Nine-Tails has already been replaced, now it's time to take action against those Jinchurikis that have arrived!"
Nagato slowly stood up from his position and was about to activate Demonic Statue of the Outer Path.
"Hehe, don't worry, we can also blame Konohagakure for taking action against these Jinchuriki, so that the remnants of those big countries will work harder when fighting Konohagakure!"
Black Zetsu grinned.
Nagato hesitated for a moment, but then nodded.
This approach is quite old-fashioned, but it is still a good idea.
In the dim cave, the black figures of Mohu appeared one after another in front of the stone pillars.
Those who can be given a ring by Nagato and enter the spiritual space of Demonic Statue of the Outer Path are all official members of Akatsuki Organization.
"Everyone, Nine Tailed Beasts is now at your fingertips. There is only one last step left before our goal is finally achieved!"
The black shadow of Nagato held a pair of Rinnegan and scanned the people below.
"That is to capture these Tailed Beast and synthesize Ten-Tails as the ultimate weapon, allowing Shinobi World to feel real pain, so as to achieve true peace! By then, with the power of Ten-Tails, even Orochimaru will definitely not be our opponent!"
"Wow! Is this the leader's art? Creating an ultimate weapon! I wonder how it compares to my explosion! Brother Scorpion, what do you think? Hmm!"
Deidara clapped very cooperatively, attracting everyone's attention.
Although it seemed a bit awkward for him to be the only one applauding, he didn't feel embarrassed at all.
"Okay, Deidara, please pause for a moment. The next thing we want to discuss is how to successfully capture these Tailed Beast without leaving any trace, and at the same time, make the ninjas of the big countries think that it was Konohagakure!"
Fortunately, at this time, he was in the state of the magic lantern body. Everyone was pitch black and their faces were very ugly. No one could notice Nagato's expression, so he was still able to maintain his strong character.
"For this, I happen to have one of my men that I can use."
Scorpio, who was in Hiruko, suddenly said this.
"Among the Sunagakure ninjas, the current leader Yura is the secret hand I left behind when I defected. As long as I unlock his sealed memory, he can cooperate with us to do all this."
"As expected of you! Brother Scorpion! You actually have such a card in your hand! Hmm!"
Amidst Deidara's excited shouts, everyone was secretly looking at Scorpion.
Among the current members of Akatsuki Organization, the most obscure one is the leader Nagato, and besides Nagato, there are Scorpion and Hiruzen.
As for Obito.
After his identity was exposed, he has kept a low profile.
Hiruzen has never taken action in front of other people, so they don't know much about this person's situation.
But Scorpion...
To be honest, no one in the organization has ever seen Xion attack with all his strength.
In the original time and space, if it weren't for the desire to die in the hands of his family, the two top masters Sakura and Chiyo really wouldn't be able to capture Scorpion, and might even overturn.
At least in this time and space, the only ones Scorpion used after joining the organization were Hiruko and Puppet of Third Kazekage.
His true form and the Red Secret Technique·Performance of a Hundred Puppets he is famous for have never been shown.
After all, when Xie was first recruited into Akatsuki Organization by Konan, he was just a boy who had just transformed his body into Puppet, and Hiruko hadn't even been created yet.
In the world of Infinite Tsukuyomi, when the leader Nagato does not exist, everyone in Akatsuki Organization is also vaguely headed by Scorpion.
After all, when Konan was able to defeat Scorpion, it was certainly because Konan's own ninjutsu had a great restraint effect on Scorpion's Puppet Technique, but Scorpion was actually not very old at that time and was in a rapid growth stage.
Not to mention, the Puppet division industry is inherently more popular as you get older, especially for Puppet divisions like Scorpion who can control a large number of Puppet at one time.
"In this case, then this matter will be left to you. Among the current Tailed Beast, the ones that have been completely controlled by us include One-Tail, Three-Tails and Four-Tails. Currently, The replacement for Nine-Tails is also on its way back under the escort of Kakuzu and Hidan. Then, among the remaining Tailed Beast, I will personally take care of the strongest Eight-Tails!"
"As for Seven-Tails, this kind of flying Tailed Beast will be left to Konan and Deidara, which are also capable of flying."
"Six-Tails said, since it is from Kirigakure, then let Kikyo you and Raijin be responsible."
"Five-Tails Jinchuriki can use the power of steam. I leave it to Bai and Zabuza. In addition, Mr. Madara will also assist you. I believe Ice Release's power is enough to limit Five-Tails's steam."
"As for the last Two-Tails, Shin Uchiha, and Shigaraki Tanuki, I leave them to you!"
Land of Rain border, Konohagakure camp.
"Minato-kun, long time no see."
Hatake Sakumo's slightly aged voice sounded, causing Minato and his wife who were conversing to look back.
Now, Hatake Sakumo and his son Kakashi are already reaching their thirties, and his hair is already a little gray.
Compared to the Konoha's White Fang who was as sharp as a sword back then, the current Hatake Sakumo may have tempered his sharpness due to his growth in age and experience.
As a person of the same generation as Three Ninja, he is actually slightly older than Three Ninja and about the same as Might Duy. However, he is currently in good condition. Compared with Might Duy, a pure Taijutsu ninja, his strength is closer to his peak period.
In terms of physical function, although it has declined slightly compared to the most perfect period, his combat effectiveness is still at its peak due to his increasingly unpredictable swordsmanship and superb Lightning Release and Earth Release.
"Sakumo Senior, long time no see."
Minato nodded gently.
He didn't actually have much contact with Hatake Sakumo at first, but his son Naruto happened to be the disciple of Sakumo's son Kakashi, so he was one of the few friends Sakumo could talk to in the village.
In addition, Fugaku and Zixiao can be regarded as two.
The reasons for Fugaku and Minato are similar, while Shikun Mitarashi and Hatake Sakumo have a lot of cooperation and communication in their daily work.
After all, when Hatake Sakumo had just reached his peak as a ninja, he had to fake his death to escape. From then on, he became anonymous and became the shadow of Orochimaru.
Kakashi was only seven years old at that time, and is indeed almost thirty now.
More than twenty years have passed since then.
In this era where the average lifespan of a ninja is extremely short, things have changed over the past twenty years. Many of the people he knew back then have passed away. The remaining subordinates have merged into the Orochimaru faction because of Kakashi, and have not suffered any persecution.
But even so, most of the people he has now are the shadows of Orochimaru who developed forces outside the village for Orochimaru over the years.
The quality cannot be said to be bad, after all, Orochimaru would not want a bad one, but there are not many people here who can really grow into masters, not to mention that Konohagakure's resources must be concentrated first among the ninjas belonging to Konohagakure.
Although relying on the Trade Association and the like, these people can't say they have less resources, but compared to Konoha Ninja, who has a serious background in the Ninja Academy, they are naturally at a disadvantage.
