Chapter 406
They could easily muster at least 100 Jonin or Special Jonin.
In other words... at least 100 or 200 people can learn how to make meatballs.
With so many people pressing their fingers into Pain's face, what business is it of Six Paths of Pain???
It was precisely because feudal figures like Naruto Uzumaki, the ruling class, and those who believed in bloodlines feared that their rule would be shaken.
Hiding it away.
Not sharing anything good with others.
This ultimately led to the great collapse of Konoha in the manga.
This is remarkably similar to the demise of certain dynasties.
When the army entered the capital, they discovered that the wealth of high-ranking officials and ministers was immeasurable.
The country is about to perish.
The high-ranking officials, however, refused to contribute a single penny to the national treasury to build an army to resist the rebels.
The same Gaara.
The plot to murder Pakura clearly demonstrates what kind of village Sunagakure is.
Even with Gaara taking over, nothing changed.
The official novel, "Gaara Hiden," fully describes what Gaara did when he was the Kazekage.
It's still the same old Sunagakure system, with people scheming against each other and playing the game of the powerful and wealthy.
In the end... nothing changed.
Therefore.
Whether it's Konoha or Sunagakure.
The disasters they suffered were entirely of their own making.
"..."
Akito scholar casually crumpled the letter in half, and it turned to dust.
Then, Akito opened the door and walked out of the room.
Just then, he bumped into Ying, who was coming out from next door.
"Master... Good morning."
Ying bowed deeply, greeted them, and with a beaming smile, was about to say something.
Another person came out of the room.
It's Rin Nohara.
"..."
Ying's expression vanished instantly.
His eyes went completely black.
She gazed at Rin Nohara.
Even with the mask on, Rin Nohara could feel that terrifying gaze.
His body stiffened slightly.
Rin Nohara stood behind Akito, cosplaying as Anbu of Amegakure.
Immediately, Ying regained her smile, walked over chatting and laughing, and went downstairs with Akito.
Throughout this process, Rin Nohara remained silent, quietly following behind.
"Today we continue our journey to the Land of Rivers."
"That's what the Akito said."
"No need to rush."
Because the Akatsuki Organization would spend three days and three nights extracting the One-Tail Gaara's body.
And in this process.
Konoha will send reinforcements to provide support.
A series of battles ensued.
It's worth mentioning that...
Many people believe that the sealing order of the Tailed Beast should be from the One-Tail to the Nine-Tails.
This is actually a misconception.
You'll understand if you look closely at the comic.
Before Gaara was sealed away, the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path had already opened its two eyes.
This means that two of the Tailed Beast have already been sealed inside.
According to the comic book order.
It should be... "Seven-Tails" and "Five-Tails".
Then came...
One-Tail → Six-Tails → Three-Tails [Captured by Deidara] → Two-Tails [Kakuzu Hidan] → Four-Tails [Kisame] → Eight-Tails- Tailed Tentacles [Sasuke] → Nine-Tails [Kinkaku and Ginkaku]
However, judging from the silence of the Anbu lurking in Ryugakure...
It seems that the Seven-Tails and Five-Tails haven't been captured by the Akatsuki Organization yet?
In other words, there have been some slight changes in the plot.
To prevent drastic changes to the plot.
Akito then decided to go and take a look.
Just as the Akito finished breakfast and were preparing to set off.
A member of the Amegakure Anbu followed them.
"Your Majesty, the Ryugakure Village has sent a plea for help, saying that their Seven-Tails Jinchūriki has just been captured by Kakuzu and Hidan, Hidan missing-nin from Ryugakure..."
The Anbu knelt on one knee and reported.
"They sent a message to Konoha, but Konoha didn't reply... Therefore, they hope we can lend a hand... In exchange, they are willing to join our alliance..."
327. Nuclear Bomb Enters Akatsuki's Lair
The current village chief of Ryugakure Village is Feiquan's son... Shibuki.
Shibuki has endured too much suffering.
When he was seven years old, he witnessed his father being killed by rebels.
At the age of 12, [OVA Anime: The Battle Hidden Deep in the Waterfall], he drank the Hero Water and, in order to protect the village, overtaxed his body, turning him into a useless person who could no longer train.
Now 16 years old, he watched helplessly as Kakuzu and Hidan took away the Seven-Tails Jinchūriki... Fu, but he was powerless to do anything about it.
"Shibuki said... as long as 'Fu' can be saved... the Seven-Tails... it doesn't matter..."
"Is that so?"
Akito replied calmly.
Would he rather sacrifice the Seven-Tails than not save his childhood friend Fu?
They have endured countless hardships.
Shibuki has become a real man.
He learned what was truly important.
"Understood. Go back and tell Shibuki that I will help him rescue Fu..."
The Akito spoke to his subordinates in the Anbu.
"Yes!"
Upon receiving the order, the Anbu rose and immediately left the scene.
Ryugakure Village first lost the Hero Water.
Now the Seven-Tails has been lost as well.
They... the ninja village hidden behind the waterfall has nothing left for others to covet.
Perhaps, a peaceful and tranquil life in a secluded paradise is what Shibuki and its people are truly seeking.
"Let's go, Ying, let's go rescue our target..."
Three days later.
The Konoha support team arrived.
After defeating Itachi and Kisame's Shapeshifting Clone, Naruto Uzumaki and the others finally arrived at the cave.
"Go and dispose of the materials for the Transformation Technique," Pain ordered.
White Zetsu: "Understood."
Pain: "Itachi, tell me the number and characteristics of the enemy."
"Konoha Ninja Kakashi Hatake, Sakura Haruno, the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki Naruto Uzumaki... and the four advisors from Sunagakure, Chiyo."
Itachi, maintaining his "Nine Seals of the Illusionary Dragon" stance, replied.
"Chiyo... Grandma?!" Sasori's eyes widened in surprise.
"Almost done, everyone concentrate."
Pain instructed.
At this time.
Gaara and Fu, two Jinchūriki floating in the air.
It has been drained by the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path for three days and three nights.
The remaining One-Tail- Chakra within Gaara is nearing its end.
With a thud.
He was the first to fall from the sky.
Then... he stopped breathing.
"!"
An eye then appeared on the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path, representing the Hand Seals.
Deidara: "As expected of the Seven-Tails..."
Hidan: "It has more Chakra than the One-Tail."
Fu was still floating in the air, clearly... lasting longer than Gaara.
It will take some time before Chakra in her body is completely drained.
At this moment.
Another reinforcement team from Konoha.
Team Guy also among the first to arrive here.
"Gaara is in the cave..."
Pakkun sniffed and detected Gaara's scent.
Unlike in the original story, Neji was not present.
Guy tried to enter the cave, but was stopped by the barrier.
"This is... troublesome..."
