Let Danzō Suffer, Let Danzō Bear the Infamy!

"Um!"

"You're right, Konan! We're friends!"

Hearing Konan's words, Yahiko sighed deeply, his expression instantly hardening. How could he not trust Nagato, his friend?

They are not only childhood friends and partners who have gone through countless life and death together, but also fellow disciples from the same school!

He really shouldn't have questioned Nagato!

"Don't worry! I'll keep a close eye on Nagato!"

"On the contrary, although we successfully completed this mission, I'm still worried that Lord Hanzo might still make things difficult for you!"

"After all, everyone has always believed that the Land of Rain exists because of Lord Hanzo. Now, the actions of our Akatsuki have shaken the beliefs of some people in the Land of Rain!"

Looking at the ever-expanding base, Konan couldn't help but worry. Just two years ago, this place was an ordinary little village!

In just two years, 20,000 people have settled here. With the addition of Akatsuki ninjas, this place is almost comparable to some major military strongholds!

Especially since there are still many people from all over the Land of Rain on their way here!

"Hahaha, if I were Hanzo, I wouldn't stand for our Akatsuki either!"

Yahiko chuckled and scratched his head, jokingly trying to ease the increasingly tense atmosphere between them.

I hope everything goes well!

Konan sighed, speaking with worry and helplessness.

"Don't worry! We're not enough to warrant a direct attack from a Demigod of the Ninja World. At most, they'll make things difficult for me!"

"The most important issue right now is food! Numerous forces across the Shinobi World are vying for the shops the Uchiha has abandoned, leaving our Land of Rain with fewer and fewer channels to purchase food!"

Faced with the hungry mouths below, even Yahiko, as the leader, was helpless!

The Land of Rain by constant warfare, resulting in severe agricultural devastation. Since the Third Shinobi World War, the food problem has become even more serious!

"Yahiko, do you think we could use our connections with the Uzumaki Clan..."

Konan gently bit her lip and tentatively asked Yahiko.

In her opinion, since the Uzumaki Clan was willing to give Nagato their shops, it shouldn't be too difficult for them to use their caravans to buy some food, right?

"No!"

To Konan's surprise, Yahiko flatly refused.

"Those so-called Uzumaki Clan might be happy about this, but we need to think about Nagato!"

"Besides, it's not even certain whether those guys are from the Uzumaki Clan!"

Yahiko pointed to Nagato's tightly closed door, highlighting the crux of the matter: if they were using the Uzumaki's name, what about Nagato?

Does the other party harbor any hidden malicious intent?

Of course, there was one more thing Yahiko didn't say: if possible, he wanted to save the relationship with Uzumaki for a crucial moment!

Although the current situation is somewhat complicated, the Akatsuki can still handle it!

Hearing Yahiko's words, Konan nodded in realization; they did indeed need to consider Nagato more carefully.

Uchiha Makoto, who was eavesdropping nearby, was also surprised. The size of the Akatsuki was already beyond his expectations, and Yahiko's performance surprised him even more!

"Enthusiastic, cheerful, and generous, selfless, with a heart full of love, and most importantly, intelligent!"

"If this guy were alive, the Land of Rain in the original story, no, the entire Shinobi World, might be a different place!"

"Possessing the protagonist's excellent qualities, and having experienced hell on earth since childhood yet still maintaining his original aspirations, he's practically an upgraded version of Naruto!"

Originally, Uchiha Makoto only maintained an indifferent, or even dismissive, attitude towards Yahiko.

Yes, you are indeed the founder of Akatsuki, the leader of the trio, so what?

Just an ordinary Jonin!

Now, his attitude has changed!

"That's how it is, if you don't die, who will!"

Uchiha Makoto sighed softly, a murderous intent rising in his heart.

Yahiko is now not only the backbone of the Akatsuki, but also a key figure influencing Nagato Uzumaki!

In Uchiha Makoto's plan, Nagato Uzumaki is the kind of character who seeks revenge with burning anger, making him an indispensable protagonist!

But this sword, named Nagato Uzumaki, has a scabbard that perfectly conceals the gleam of its blade!

"Nagato is a hothead, but unfortunately Yahiko isn't..."

"Set a six-month timeframe, push the plan forward, and wipe these guys out!"

At this point, Uchiha Makoto had no more desire to stay in the Akatsuki and eavesdrop, so he silently moved outwards through the soil.

"This is really useful, White Zetsu!"

As Uchiha Makoto moved at great speed, he sensed the speed, comparable to Jonin using the Body Flicker Technique, and couldn't help but marvel at it.

White Zetsu, you deserve to have one!

"Hiruzen Sarutobi has been hiding in Konoha all along; we can't pin this plan on him!"

Thinking of Hiruzen Sarutobi, who was so scared by him that he had been hiding in Konoha and dared not Hiruzen Sarutobi out, Uchiha Makoto couldn't help but complain.

What's there to be afraid of? He's not lusting after her body!

They just wanted to kill him, look how terrified he is!

"Given the current situation, we have no choice but to ask our Danzo to make do!"

"As someone who's Pot Kage, he definitely wouldn't recommend having a few more accusations against him!"

"Suffer for Danzo, and Danzo will bear the Danzo!"

Thinking of Shimura Danzō's gloomy appearance, Uchiha Makoto nodded and decided to follow the original story and let Danzo show his face more often!

After all, he's now added the Uzumaki Clan to the script, and he also needs someone to take them out.

"I don't trust the others, so I might as well give it to Danzo. I'm sure Danzo will be happy to have a few more live samples!"

As he spoke, Uchiha Makoto thought of the Uzumaki Clan under the Golden Consortium.

They joined the Golden Consortium during its years of rapid expansion, ending up at the very bottom, which was beyond Uchiha Makoto's expectations.

At that time, Uchiha Makoto had already moved many Uzumaki Clan to Rōran. When he saw the report from the Hagoromo Clan, he even considered moving them to Rōran as well.

Unfortunately, due to the Third Raikage's close supervision, the matter was left unresolved.

"There are only a few of them, so it won't matter if they die. They're just right to provoke Nagato and the Uzumaki Clan!"

"Even now, Danzo is still the commander-in-chief of the Land of Earth and can't leave the front lines, let alone come to the Land of Rain!"

Considering the recent New Year, which has led to a stalemate between the two sides on the Rock Ninja front, how could Danzo possibly come to the Land of Rain?

Unless, he commits a grave mistake!

"Human experimentation and Wood Release are both extremely sensational, and the fact that they were 'successful' and 'Danzo' by Danzo only amplifies the hype and could absolutely ignite the entire Shinobi World!"

"And both of these factors gave Hiruzen Sarutobi his merits and demerits, but Shimura Danzō would never stay on the front lines any longer!"

"The opportunity has arrived!"

Uchiha Makoto pondered whether there were any flaws in his plan, a sinister smile creeping onto his lips.

"What's so fun about simple facts? Watch my masterful use of misinformation!"
