Chapter 268
Only by creating a terrifying forbidden weapon.
A single blow could destroy a nation.
When people feel pain, they stop and cease fighting.
Years later, when people have forgotten the pain, war will break out again.
At that time, the forbidden weapon will be used once more.
War → Peace → War → Peace... a never-ending cycle, this is history, and this is reality.
Nagato's gaze hardened once more.
Remove the scroll.
This scroll is a commission from the daimyo of the "Land of Water".
The increasingly unbridled behavior within the Bloody Mist.
The Daimyo of the Land of Water has reached his limit of tolerance.
For many years, the daimyo has distrusted Kirigakure, but he has never had the opportunity to rectify the situation.
Now, after several years of operation, the Akatsuki organization has made a name for itself in the underworld.
Therefore...
The Daimyo of the Land of Water took a desperate gamble.
A task was entrusted to the Akatsuki Organization.
They were tasked with killing the Fourth Mizukage of Kirigakure... the Perfect Jinchuriki, Karatachi Yagura!!
However, the Daimyo of the Land of Water was unaware of this.
The reason Kirigakure became what it is today is due to Obito Uchiha's increasingly ruthless behind-the-scenes manipulation.
In other words, the Daimyo of the Land of Water walked right into the line of fire.
Fortunately, though.
Nagato, who considered himself a "god," felt neither anger nor amusement at this request.
Nagato's detached thinking led Nagato to decisively accept the task.
Before the Akatsuki Organization gathered Nine Tailed Beasts, it was a professional mercenary organization responsible for fighting on behalf of other countries and handling various commissions.
"Have you decided?" Konan asked, seeing the scroll.
"Yes, I plan to send Itachi and Orochimaru over there."
Nagato revealed his thoughts.
Have Itachi and Orochimaru team up and infiltrate Kirigakure to assassinate Karatachi Yagura.
"Madara will stop me..." Konan hesitated.
"It doesn't matter."
Nagato shook his head.
"They could even abandon the Uchiha Clan, so what chance do they have against Kirigakure..."
The Uchiha Clan were Madara's relatives.
Ban didn't even flinch before abandoning them.
So, what about Mizukage, the Karatachi Yagura?
So be it, they killed him.
Perfect, this is a good opportunity to test Itachi's true strength.
"Then I'll go contact 'Ban'."
Konan nodded and left the cave...
Nagato gazed at the wind and rain, and once again fell into deep thought.
The Land of Rain.
An aerial fortress.
"Ugh!"
After finishing breakfast, Mikoto Uchiha kept gagging.
Clearly, as a Konoha resident, even after two days, he still wasn't used to the food of the Land of Rain.
When she had vomited almost all of it.
The Akito picked her up and placed her directly into the life support container, waiting for the next use.
Mikoto Uchiha pounded on the glass, her face filled with sorrow.
But under the influence of the life-sustaining liquid, it could only gradually become sluggish...
Guren, who had been keeping her head down, finally dared to raise her face, her cheeks flushed, and said, "Lord Akito, the diplomatic envoy from Kirigakure has been waiting downstairs for a long time..."
"Okay, I understand."
Akito straightened his clothes and then returned from the aerial fortress to the surface of Amegakure.
Inside the meeting room.
Everyone gathered.
The Akito walked in, and everyone greeted him.
After the Akito were seated, the diplomats were invited over from the adjacent lounge.
With her long, pale yellow hair and goddess-like Kirigakure, the female ninja from Kirigakure, known for her diplomatic skills, spoke, "Lord Akito... I am..."
"Suiren, is it? It's been a long time." Akito gazed at the female ninja who had come from afar.
"..."
Wrapped in the Kirigakure Ninja uniform that accentuated her devilish figure, Suiren stepped forward and respectfully handed over the scroll.
Akito unfolded it, glanced at it, and handed it to Asuka and the others.
Then, turning back to the Suiren, he asked, "You Kirigakure... want to form an alliance with us Amegakure?"
195. Akito person: Let me also be a theatrical spectator and enjoy myself.
Based on the timeline, we can extrapolate.
That year, Zabuza will instigate a rebellion and assassinate the Mizukage.
After the defeat, escape from the Kirigakure.
Mei Terumi launched a second "rectification" campaign and reaped the rewards of victory.
Finally... Yagura's Genjutsu: Release, and he died.
Kisame Hoshigaki also defected from Kirigakure before the purge began, due to Yagura's resignation.
Thus, the Bloody Mist came to a complete end.
Mei Terumi's rise to power ushered in a new era for Kirigakure...
At this time, Kirigakure came to him seeking an alliance.
Does this mean... Karatachi Yagura is short-handed and wants me to come over as a henchman?
Or are they planning a trap, replicating Konoha's tactics?
The true ruler of the Bloody Mist now is Obito Uchiha, who is manipulating everything from behind the scenes.
Because of the incident where he took Rin Nohara's coffin, Obito Uchiha will probably not show his face in public.
That's why he chose Kirigakure as his proxy...
"Yes, Lord Akito."
Suiren bowed slightly, indicating that Kirigakure Village intended to form an alliance with Amegakure.
Of course, before forming an alliance, a "ceasefire agreement" must be signed, indicating mutual non-aggression, followed by an "alliance agreement."
"Our village will accept any compensation offered..."
The Suiren explained.
"The only problem is our village's system. The Fourth Mizukage won't easily leave the village to maintain his rule, so... we hope Lord Akito can personally go to Kirigakure to sign an 'alliance'..."
Upon hearing this...
Pakura rolled her eyes.
Does it have to be that obvious?
This is clearly another trap to lure you in.
"No problem."
The Akito readily agreed.
Because this time, I might really have the chance to personally witness the internal strife in Kirigakure.
Just treat it as a bit of fun.
If Mei Terumi could replace Yagura and usher in a new generation for Kirigakure, that would be a good thing.
In the original story, after Mei Terumi took over, Kirigakure began to recover and stopped sending ninjas to burn, kill, and plunder everywhere.
They... really have changed.
This also proves that the Kirigakure is equivalent to losing its claws and teeth, turning from a tiger into a sheep.
It will be much easier to deal with them later.
He waved his hand, instructing someone to arrange accommodations for the Suiren.
The Akito then prepared to leave.
"The Fourth Mizukage, Karatachi Yagura, is Perfect Jinchuriki," Asuka's voice reminded him from behind.
The Perfect Jinchuriki.
They are beings completely different from Jinchūriki.
They truly reconciled with the Tailed Beast, no longer stealing each other's Chakra.
It could also be argued that Yagura could fight continuously for days and nights without any problem.
With the blessing of the Perfect Jinchuriki Mode.
Their strength will also increase dramatically, unlike other Jinchūriki.
The Akito were also very curious about how Kirigakure had managed to subdue him.
Do you really think that just because the TV anime production team created an Amaterasu, idiotic scene where Amaterasu burns Yagura actually becomes weak?
Whether in comics, games, or novels.
Perfect Jinchuriki are all exceptionally powerful beings.
It's definitely not something the TV production team can solve with a single Amaterasu, as they fantasize about.
After all, stripping off one's Amaterasu.
The Tailed Beast Cloak can easily extinguish Amaterasu by separating its Chakra.
"No problem. In the ninja world now, there are very few people who can stop me."
Akito turned around, smiled slightly, and gestured to the Asuka there was nothing to worry about.
Outside the tower, the streets drizzle.
Orochimaru leaned against the eaves of a building, watching the Akito pass by.
