Stirring Around the Konoha Plan

Orochimaru of the Otogakure had just received news of the traitor within Konoha. Looking at the letter in his hand, he saw it clearly stated that Hiruzen Sarutobi had been framed by the Uchiha Clan.

Uchiha Qingcheng launched the Beautiful Konoha Plan, which was actually the Konoha Crush Plan. He essentially extorted money from everyone in Konoha, successfully ruining the Konoha's economy and setting Konoha back several decades in strength.

Konoha has now become the weakest of the Five Great Hidden Villages. The Konoha's ninjas can't even buy ninja tools and Explosive Tag for missions anymore.

Orochimaru looked at the intelligence report, his face filled with excitement. He smiled and said, "Uchiha Qingcheng, I admit that your Konoha Crush Plan is the most brilliant plan. If I were to launch the Konoha Crush Plan, I couldn't come up with such an Eradication Plan even if I racked my brains. You are truly too perfect."

Orochimaru then learned from intelligence reports that Uchiha Qingcheng had also awakened the Mangekyō Sharingan, and that he had a powerful backer—the Asura God from the Underworld, Uchiha Yongcheng.

Orochimaru looked at these things, his face filled with excitement. He said with a look of surprise, "Qingcheng-kun, you've given me so many surprises! What kind of eyes are Uchiha Yongcheng's Super Invincible Sharingan? They're even more mysterious than Pain's Rinnegan!"

Orochimaru said with a greedy look, "Transcending life and death, beyond yin and yang, immortal and indestructible—this is practically a myth! If I could obtain these eyes, I would surely be able to glimpse the meaning of this world."

Orochimaru, with a greedy look on his face, stuck out his long tongue and licked it, repeating, "Not within the Five Elements, not within Yin and Yang, immortal and indestructible—this is the realm I've pursued my whole life, and I never imagined that Uchiha Yongcheng would achieve it."

Actually, Qingcheng learned these words from modern cultivation novels to add an air of mystery to Uchiha Yongcheng. Since the people in the Shinobi World don't know this kind of knowledge, the more mysterious and impressive you sound, the more real it seems to them."

Especially Qingcheng's leap from being a bottom-of-the-barrel ninja to becoming Kage-level Expert was too mysterious. Only one person in the Shinobi World had experienced such a meteoric rise in power: Otsutsuki Hagoromo, also known as the Sage of Six Paths.

As the Sage of Six Paths watched his beloved Kaguya become a sacrifice to the God Tree, he instantly awakened the Three-Tomoe Sharingan.

Then he went to the Mount Myōboku to train in Senjutsu, then returned home to stop Kaguya's atrocities, and punched his younger brother, Otsutsuki Hamura, through the chest. Immediately afterward, the Sage of Six Paths took to the skies, awakening his Three-Tomoe Sharingan to the Rinnegan.

Sage of Six Paths with Three-Tomoe Sharingan, combined with Senjutsu, is definitely at Super Kage Level strength. After awakening the Rinnegan, he directly reaches the Six Paths Level.

It's a huge leap from the Super Kage Level directly to the Pseudo-Six Paths Level.

Qingcheng, in just a few days, went from being at the very bottom of the class, a cripple, to directly skipping the Quasi-Kage Level and reaching the Kage Level —a huge leap forward indeed.

So when Orochimaru saw Qingcheng's information, his face was filled with excitement, and he said with a greedy look, "The power of the Sharingan is truly fascinating. Uchiha Itachi, Uchiha Madara, Uchiha Qingcheng, these people from the Uchiha Clan are really captivating."

Orochimaru said greedily, "If I get his body, I'm sure I can also pursue that power. It's so interesting! I can't wait! Hahahaha!"

Orochimaru's laughter was hoarse, but his appearance was becoming increasingly feminine; his fair cheeks, if paired with a heavenly voice, would make him a spitting image of Aunt Orochimaru.

Meanwhile, in Hidden Cloud Village, the Fourth Raikage, having received intelligence that Konoha had launched the Beautiful Konoha Plan, said with a serious expression, "This Hiruzen Sarutobi definitely has a conspiracy. Konoha's Beauty Plan is surely an attempt to secretly reform and restore Konoha to its former glory."

Inside the Raikage's Office, a large group of Hidden Cloud Village ninja, all looking respectful, said in unison, "Lord Raikage, you're right. The Hidden Leaf Village definitely had this planned in advance; otherwise, they wouldn't have made such a big move."

Darui, standing beside the Raikage, also spoke with a grave expression, "Konoha's period of strength was terrifying, capable of waging war against three countries simultaneously. I'm wondering if the Hidden Leaf Village is planning something big again."

Killer B was completely unaffected by these words, still wearing a smile, his hands in a rapping pose, and began to sing and dance. "Yay, Konoha's Beauty Plan is great! Our Hidden Cloud Village can also have a singing plan, yay! Everyone has to pay one million yen and come listen to me sing, oh N!"

The Raikage, watching Killer B sing and dance, yelled, "Bee! You big idiot! Our Hidden Cloud Village's reforms are just copying Konoha's! Your singing is killing people! Shut up, you moron!"

There was another group of ninja from the Hidden Cloud Village who, upon hearing Killer B's singing plan, all wore expressions of utter disgust, and exclaimed, "Killer B Bee, your singing is awful! It's practically killing people! And you want them to pay? This is worse than killing them! Please, spare the people of the Hidden Cloud Village!"

The Fourth Raikage then said with a serious expression, "I think we should also launch the Hidden Cloud Village Strengthening Plan, just like the Konoha's Beauty Plan. We should go out and impose fines on the streets, collect all their money and deposit it with the village's higher-ups. Then I'll use that money to strengthen the Hidden Cloud Village's ninjas."

All the ninja from Hidden Cloud Village were completely dumbfounded upon hearing the Raikage's words, and they all exclaimed, "Lord Raikage, this is robbery! Are you really going to do this?"

Killer B, still singing and dancing, said, "Oh no, robbing people is so cruel! We should hold a concert and charge admission, one million a ticket, oh no!"

A group of Hidden Cloud Village ninjas said with terrified expressions, "Let's just rob them directly. If we get fined and then have to listen to Killer B Bee's songs, that's just too scary!"

Raikage spoke again, shouting, "Bie! Shut up! Fining the villagers is already incredibly cruel; do you want to kill them too?"

Killer B, seeing the Raikage speak, looked embarrassed and said with a wry smile, "OK, I understand."

The Fourth Raikage then spoke up, "Darui, you are the head of the Police Force. This Strengthening Plan for Hidden Cloud Village will be executed by you."

Upon hearing this, Darui's face was filled with embarrassment, and he said with a helpless expression, "Understood, Lord Raikage."

The ninjas of Hidden Cloud Village are all guys who worship strength; they've trained their muscles to the point of being brainwashed, which is why they can copy Konoha so thoroughly.
