"Let's arrange basic armor for the Ninja Academy graduates first. From now on, every student graduating from the Ninja Academy can receive a piece of basic armor from the village for free; consider it a benefit from the village."
The Land of Snow doesn't have that many Jonin the teams. Currently, the students graduating from Hidden Snow Village are led by Kaguya Corps and the Uchiha Clan clan elders. Many graduates, lacking instructors, are assigned back to become teaching assistants, which alleviates the pressure on the clan elders.
"Understood, Gen."
The Land of Rain, Amegakure )
" Black Zetsu, has all the intelligence been gathered?"
Nagato has now completely shed his previous emaciated body. In his prime, his physical abilities are comparable to those of Taijutsu. With the combined power of his Wood Release and Six Paths of Pain, even Madara Uchiha, who possesses the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan, is no match for him.
" Nagato, the information regarding the Tailed Beast has been gathered. Kakuzu are ready to act at any time, but you may need to handle the Eight-Tails and Nine-Tails personally." Is it finally about to begin? A thousand years of waiting have led to this moment. Nagato, don't disappoint me.
According to the original plan, the operation to capture the Tailed Beast might have to wait a few more years, at least until the Akatsuki was at full strength and Nagato's strength was enough to suppress the Ninja World. However, the appearance of that woman from the Land of Snow directly interrupted all his plans. Six Paths level powerhouse had appeared, and he couldn't wait any longer. If he waited any longer, he didn't know if these natives would reveal someone like the Sage of Six Paths.
I don't want Mother to be sealed back up by a bunch of Six Paths Level natives who suddenly appeared out of nowhere as soon as she comes out for some fresh air.
" Nine-Tails? Konoha? Not a threat. As long as it's not that guy from Hidden Snow Village, I don't care about anyone else. I'm far stronger than before."
Hmph, with a healthy body Jonin legendary Wood Release, even if the two Ninja World gods were to be resurrected, I am fully confident that I can suppress them.
In the dark underground space, a huge golem knelt on the ground with its hands clasped in devout prayer, and several imposing and powerful figures stood on its ten fingers.
"Chief, is there some big deal you've arranged by summoning us this time? Let me make it clear, my fees are very high."
Kakuzu noticed Deva Path Pain's unusual appearance and, though curious, didn't ask any further questions. After all, the Rinnegan doesn't lie; in the Ninja World, who doesn't have a few tricks up their sleeve for disguise and transformation?
"Hmm? Isn't this the material I gave to Konan before? How come... this is Puppet Technique? Interesting. I didn't expect the leader to be a fellow artist. I didn't expect that besides me, Sasori of the Red Sands, there would be others in the Ninja World who are proficient in such powerful Human Puppet. It seems I should find some time to discuss it with the leader." Looking at Deva Path Pain in the main seat, Sasori of the Red Sands instantly recognized the identity of the body in which he was inhabiting.
"The main reason we've gathered everyone here is to discuss the plan that our Akatsuki has been striving for since its inception. Now that the time is ripe, it's time for us to take action."
Deva Path Pain's imposing Rinnegan swept over his unruly subordinates as he patiently spoke.
"A plan? That peace plan to collect the Tailed Beast to intimidate various countries?" Looking at those imposing Rinnegan, Sasori of the Red Sands recalled when he first joined the organization.
Konan had already mentioned this to him when he joined Akatsuki, but surely the leader's strength wasn't enough to offend several major powers at the same time?
"Chief, isn't it too early for us to start that plan now, given our current strength?"
Juzo Biwa was a veteran member of Akatsuki and had some understanding of Pain's strength. Although the leader was very strong, even capable of killing a former Demigod of the Ninja World, it was impossible for him to challenge all the countries that possessed Tailed Beast at the same time.
" Jūzō, you're overthinking it. It's just Tailed Beast, what's there to be afraid of? Anyway, I'm immortal, no one can do anything to me, right, Kakuzu- sama?"
Hidan, Jashin Cult had recently joined the organization, had an arrogant expression on his face and didn't take the Tailed Beast, these nuclear weapons of the Ninja World, seriously at all.
"Idiot, the Tailed Beast represent not only themselves, but also the various Tailed Beast villages and countries behind them. They're not going to be stupid enough to wait for you to steal their Tailed Beast weapons."
It's just an immortal body; with such a lack of common sense, something bad is bound to happen sooner or later. Although Jūzō envies Hidan's abilities, the conditions for the success of the Jashin Cult's ritual are far too easy to circumvent.
"Don't worry, I've made thorough preparations for this plan. You only need to take care of the weaker Tailed Beast. I'll personally handle the Two-Tails, Eight-Tails Nine-Tails, and Nine- Jūzō and take care of the One-Tail, Three-Tails, and Six-Tails. Hidan, you'll team up with Kakuzu and take care of the Four-Tails, Five-Tails, and Seven-Tails. Just in case, I'll have Six Paths of Pain assist you. This is the information on the Jinchuriki of each village." Nagato distributed the information that White Zetsu had collected over the years to everyone and began to assess the strength of his side.
"Boss, I think I can handle Two-Tails. Her weaknesses are too obvious. I can easily take her down."
Looking at the documents in his hand, Hidan licked his lips and revealed a cruel smile, just like Orochimaru.
"Hmm? You? Fine, then I'll leave the Two-Tails to you."
Hearing Hidan say that, Nagato suddenly remembered Hidan's special curse ritual...
"If that's the case, then Hidan could handle the Seven-Tails, since they're both women."
Kakuzu instantly realized the key point: it was indeed best to leave this kind of female ninja to Hidan to handle.
" Seven-Tails won't do; she's too young. She probably hasn't had her period yet."
Sasori of the Red Sands, who was very familiar with human tissues, seriously joined this extremely perverse discussion.
"Uh... you guys don't mean that, do you? We're a terrorist organization, not a perverted one. If word got out that we were stealing menstrual blood, the whole Ninja World would laugh at us for being perverts."
Jūzō pondered for a while before understanding the meaning, and looked at the crowd who were unwilling to speak frankly, asking with a look of fear.
" Jūzō, everything is for the sake of peace in the Ninja World; mere reputation is utterly insignificant."
I, Nagato, have dominated the Ninja World for decades. Why would I care about this? Besides, it's not like I'm handling this personally. What does Hidan's personal abnormality have to do with me, Nagato? If word gets out, I'll just expel Hidan from the organization as a temporary worker.
"No, I think it's extremely important. Although I'm missing-nin, missing-nin also have dignity. If it really comes to that, I don't think world peace or anything like that matters anymore. Leader, you don't want Konan to know that you're planning to do something like this, do you?"
