Chapter 372
Scorpion: "If that's the case, what should we do?"
If someone were to pay to hunt down Amakawa Akito, then we...
"Of course I'll accept the commission."
Pain said calmly.
"We just need to increase the amount..." Black Zetsu chimed in.
Kakuzu: "The Underground Exchange has removed the sign for Amakawa Akito. To hunt him down, you'll need a bounty of at least 5 billion..."
Kakuzu extended his finger.
Express.
If it weren't for 5 billion.
Then there's no need to make enemies of the Amakawa Akito.
Because it's not worth it.
The returns are too small.
I heard that the 2.5 billion bounty on Amakawa Akito has been withdrawn.
The Akatsuki Organization members started discussing it again.
So, which country can afford 5 billion?
Neither Konoha nor Sunagakure would hire Akatsuki.
Kirigakure is still developing and urgently needs money.
Kumogakure is the richest, but it doesn't have any conflict with Amegakure.
The only one that is both possible and financially capable is Iwagakure.
After all, Ōnoki's sons were all killed by Amakawa Akito.
"However, I heard that Amakawa Akito wants to be the 'Emperor'."
Itachi suddenly spoke.
"If Amakawa Akito becomes emperor, it will mean a change in his status, and even we cannot easily take action against him..."
In the world of Hokage, the theory of bloodline is prevalent.
The daimyo even claimed to be descendants of gods.
In this situation, the ninjas would fight each other to the death, but no one would lay a hand on the daimyo.
Ancient rules, ironically, have become a constraint.
When Amakawa Akito became emperor, he became a "superior person".
They were not people that lowly ninjas could touch.
So...
"For now, it's best to wait and see."
Itachi knew that Amakawa Akito would have many more moves to make.
It's not too late to take action once the situation becomes clearer.
"Itachi, Kisame, you two have arrived in Konoha by now, haven't you?"
Pain suddenly asked.
Their final mission was to investigate the movements of the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki in Konoha.
Now, after the Konoha Crush plan, is a perfect opportunity.
"Yes, leader." Itachi nodded.
Sasori looked at Itachi: "I remember Itachi's younger brother is still alive, isn't he?"
White Zetsu: "Sasuke Uchiha."
Black Zetsu: "Orochimaru seems to have done something to him..."
"Hehe, Itachi, you don't mind if I study your brother's bloodline, do you?" Orochihime laughed.
"Random."
Itachi replied calmly.
In everyone's eyes, Itachi was a ruthless genocide.
Only Itachi, Black Zetsu, White Zetsu, Obito knew the truth.
Pain: "Then, proceed as planned, investigate the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki. If necessary, bring him back directly!"
Kisame Hoshigaki: "Understood."
Pain: "The rest of you, get moving and gather intelligence on the Nine Tailed Beasts or their Jinchūriki... The Nine-Tails' probing is a good start!"
After years of preparation.
The Akatsuki Organization has already obtained a large amount of war funds.
Over the next few years, action will begin.
Gather information on the Tailed Beast and their Jinchūriki.
Naruto Uzumaki, the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, is a great starting point for this test!
295. Go Teuchi.
Amegakure.
The Akito stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, looking out at the city battered by wind and rain.
After killing Hiruzen Sarutobi, Akito's power reached [76.6].
Growth is very slow.
This also indirectly shows that the Akito's strength had reached a terrifying level.
Killing an aging shadow no longer grants him much power.
Of course, this is also related to the fact that Hiruzen Sarutobi had relatively few negative emotions.
Gazing at the departing figure of the Akito.
Pakura and the others felt that this figure was becoming increasingly unfathomable...
The feat of killing the Kazekage and the Hokage.
This filled everyone with awe, and their view of the Akito changed once again.
In the general perception.
Akito is already the strongest man in the ninja world.
Looking around, there are no rivals.
Conquering the ninja world is only a matter of time.
Soon, Guren stepped forward to report today's intelligence.
Akito took it; the intelligence report stated... "The officials of the Land of Fire Land of Wind are using public opinion to stir things up."
He vilified himself, portraying himself as a demon.
Perhaps the people of this world will be furious after seeing this.
But for Akito, the news compiled from the Naruto world, which has an extremely limited vocabulary of insults, only makes them laugh.
That's it?
Flip the page at will.
Page two describes the reactions of other countries.
What about the Land of Ryu and the Land of Birds...?
Some of these countries believed that the Akito did the right thing by killing the Ming soldiers.
Some believe that what the Akito did was too terrible.
These international opinions were easily glanced at.
Next, we have the third page.
A tourist from the Land of Lightning entered the Land of Rain and harassed a woman from the Land of Rain.
Because they are foreigners.
Moreover, they are from the Land of Land of Lightning, which has no conflict with the Land of Rain, so... they are not easy to deal with.
"To prosecute them for a crime... is there a problem?"
The Akito's calm words reached everyone's ears.
Cold sweat broke out on everyone's foreheads.
In fact, at this moment, the Akito only needed to release a little bit of their aura.
That alone was enough to terrify everyone.
After all, [76.6]'s power is almost the pinnacle of mortal strength.
"The Land of Lightning may not have any conflict with us, so we need to consider international relations... but a mistake is a mistake, regardless of his identity."
The Akito turned around and looked at the crowd.
"Respect is earned, not flattered. The decline of a nation begins with small compromises. Today, a woman in our country can be sacrificed; tomorrow, a family; the day after, a village; and the day after that, the entire country can be sold out."
Calm words echoed throughout the room.
"If we keep sacrificing the interests of individuals, or even a small group of people, for the sake of so-called greater interests, then one day things will get out of control."
This is putting the cart before the horse.
Akito gave the crowd a cold look. "Do I need to teach you how to do it?"
"..."
Everyone fell silent.
Under the pressure of the Akito's imposing presence and scrutiny.
They couldn't refute it.
Then, the Akito turned to the fourth page.
Only then did the pressure on everyone ease.
Many people find that their clothes are completely soaked with sweat...
The Akito stared intently at the document.
The sign read that Itachi Uchiha and Kisame Hoshigaki had entered Konoha, causing a commotion.
Next, Sasuke Uchiha chased after them, but Itachi Uchiha broke his arm and sent him to the hospital.
Afterwards, Jiraiya led Naruto Uzumaki further north into the Land of Fire, seemingly searching for something...
"Akatsuki's goal seems to be the Jinchūriki."
"Asuka," said the bird.
Her remarks eased the tense atmosphere.
What should we do?
"No need to worry about it for now," Akito shook his head.
Itachi and Kisame infiltrated Konoha and confronted Naruto Uzumaki.
Actually, it was a test of the "capture the Nine Tailed Beasts" operation plan.
This time, Itachi took a break, neither piloting the Gundam nor using his trump card, and simply ran away, successfully causing the Akatsuki Organization to postpone their capture plan for three years.
During the three years of Shippuden, the Akatsuki Organization patiently gathered intelligence.
