Chapter 140

75. Threatened? No, I threatened Obito Uchiha.

But even cannon fodder has its role and purpose, doesn't it?

So...

"Here's another piece of information for you."

Obito Uchiha a cold arrogance.

He now felt completely superior to everyone else, possessing the power of Uchiha and Senju.

"The Konoha High Command leadership has incited their ally Ryugakure, to send troops. They are expected to reach the border of the Land of Rain in a day."

After reading the Zero-Tails Scroll, Obito Uchiha a good mood.

The possibility that the situation might spiral out of control was also eliminated.

No matter how strong the Dark Chakra is, its limit is only equivalent to the 4th or 5th gate of the Eight Gates Released Formation, which is not a concern at all.

"Okay, I understand."

The Akito nodded and put away the scroll.

Then, Obito Uchiha disappeared without a trace.

Ryugakure's invasion can be seen as a test.

Obito Uchiha wanted to see just how far Amakawa Akito could go.

And then...

He was going to the "Land of Water" to turn the Bloody Mist the newly elected Fourth Mizukage had just been chosen, upside down.

After all, it was they who... caused Lin's tragic death!

Meeting room in Amegakure.

Akito looked at the arriving crowd.

Following the incident involving Shinku Yuhi.

Amegakure is undergoing another reform, requiring that the ideas of rank-and-file ninjas be listened to and thoroughly implemented.

After confirming today's tasks.

The Akito were about to reveal the invasion by Ryugakure Village.

"Gentlemen... members of the Akatsuki Organization came to see me before."

The moment an Akito opened their mouth.

Everyone fell silent, but their wide eyes revealed their astonishment.

Ever since Hanzō and Akatsuki were ambushed.

I haven't heard anything about the Akatsuki Organization since.

Yahiko's death was directly confirmed.

Therefore, many people believed that the Akatsuki Organization had disbanded.

But unexpectedly, they came back with a vengeance.

"Is it... Nagato?"

He asked tentatively.

At that time, Akatsuki Organization leader Yahiko died, and Nagato unleashed a powerful force.

I was deeply impressed by the scene where I wore the right clothes.

"No, he is an existence even more terrifying than Nagato."

"That's what Akito said calmly."

The current Obito Uchiha is certainly not Nagato.

But that suit of clothing was still quite intimidating.

In order to put some pressure on and motivate everyone, Akito decided to make good use of Obito Uchiha's disguise as Madara Uchiha.

"Further explanation is unnecessary. All you need to know is that he came to see me."

Because of the absolute strength of the Akito.

He even managed to utter the word "horror."

Everyone swallowed hard and began to speculate.

"Fortunately, they are not hostile for the time being, so we can still cooperate to some extent. Also, everyone, do not reveal this information, or you will bear the consequences."

The Akatsuki Organization will inevitably cause trouble in the future.

Assassinating important officials, instigating wars, assassinating ninjas...

The best course of action for Amegakure is to pretend they know nothing and completely act as if they don't recognize Akatsuki.

Otherwise, they would be the first to be captured and tortured by the ninjas of the Five Great Nations to obtain information about the Akatsuki Organization.

"That entity provided us with intelligence. The Konoha High Command leadership is currently conducting the election for the Fourth Hokage, so all Jonin have been withdrawn from the border. To fill the gap, the Konoha High Command has instigated their ally, the Ryugakure Village, to send troops, who will arrive at the border in a day."

Akito calmly relayed the information provided by Obito Uchiha.

"How credible is it?" Asuka turned her head and asked softly.

"Almost 100%"

The Akito replied.

Because Obito Uchiha had no reason to lie about something like this.

"Then let's send troops," Asuka suggested.

In order to prevent the people of the Land of Rain from suffering again and to prevent the invasion of Ryugakure.

Troops should be dispatched immediately to stop them.

"The ninjas of Ryugakure are not numerous, so we have dispatched multiple elite squads to intercept them from different directions."

The Asuka offered strategic advice.

On national strength.

Ryugakure and Amegakure are about the same.

"However, they possess the Hero Water and the Seven-Tails, which puts us at a disadvantage."

Therefore, Amegakure must continue to leverage its guerrilla and stealth advantages, utilizing waterways for warfare.

"The strategy is fine."

Akito nodded, showing his approval of Asuka.

In a short period of time, she grew up and became someone who could stand on her own.

They are not lacking in intelligence or wisdom.

However, due to the age limit of 14, there is still a lot of room for improvement in his skills.

Akito tapped the table. "But even though we repelled a wave of harassment from Ryugakure, we will still be dragged into a long and arduous melee."

Small groups of elite troops probed between the smaller ninja villages.

Back and forth.

Ultimately, it's an endless cycle.

And Ryugakure is not just themselves.

After the election of the Fourth Hokage of Konoha is completed.

Amegakure will have to face both Konoha and Sunagakure at the same time.

At that time.

What should we do if three ninja villages launch a coordinated attack?

"..."

After hearing Akito's words, everyone looked at each other in bewilderment.

Because this is indeed a difficult problem.

It seems there's no solution.

"Alright, leave this to me. As for this defense mission, Pakura, you'll lead the charge. You haven't seemed to be in a good mood lately, so cheer yourself up a bit."

Akito looked at Pakura beside him.

Her face, which had been gloomy, immediately broke into a sinister grin upon hearing the assignment. "I couldn't be happier!!!"

Pakura had long wanted to vent his pent-up anger and hatred somewhere.

Now.

The Ryugakure Village have come looking for death, that's... great!

Watching the tall, mature woman walk away quickly.

The Akito rose, concluding the meeting for the day.

The outside corridor.

The Akito called out to his master, Shinnō.

Then, the Zero-Tails Scroll was handed to him.

"..."

Shinnō's pupils contracted, and for the first time, Leziren's expression changed.

The legacy of Land of Sky, a lost treasure.

And just like that... it appeared right before my eyes?!

"Consider it repayment for the past six years."

"That's what Akito said calmly."

This cheap master of mine has at least spent six years on me.

Although he also had his own ulterior motives in researching Dark Chakra.

But after all, everyone has a heart.

"Hmph..."

Shinnō suddenly chuckled softly.

"Hmph hmph hmph..."

His smile was eerie,... terrifying.

"My disciple, you... are still too young."

Shinnō said.

"The human heart is utterly dark. The teacher-student relationship is meaningless..."

Shinnō shook his head.

Beneath the surface of a seemingly cheerful person lies a deep-seated despair about the world.

Shinnō... truly doesn't believe there's any hope in this world.

"Whether it's meaningful or not, we'll know when the time comes," Akito replied expressionlessly.

A clash between master and apprentice is inevitable sooner or later.

But so what?

The meaning and value of life are determined by who has the last laugh.

The next second.
