Iwagakure, Third Tsuchikage Ōnoki had just finished entertaining the delegation from Konoha, when a Jonin hurried into the office.
"Lord Tsuchikage! There is important information, something happened to Master Roshi!"
"Roshi? What's wrong with him? Isn't he practicing outside?"
Although he and Roshi have different ideas, after all, we are all Shinobi Village people, and Roshi is also one of the important Jinchūriki in the village. Ōnoki has always arranged people to keep an eye on Roshi's movements.
"Lord Tsuchikage, Roshi was attacked by Akatsuki's people, and was captured by Akatsuki's people."
"What? Akatsuki!"
Ōnoki slapped the table and stood up, although there was not much difference between standing up and sitting down.
"How dare these guys come to us Land of Earth to cause trouble!"
He also knew some news about Akatsuki, but he didn't care about it at first.
After all, the scope of activities of Akatsuki is always those Small Nation. As long as they don't come to Land of Earth, then there is no threat.
Moreover, he himself is also a big customer of Akatsuki.
There were many tasks that were inconvenient for their village to handle, and he entrusted them all to Akatsuki in various capacities to handle.
It seems that he takes good care of Akatsuki. After all, his most proud disciple and the disciple he feels most sorry for, Deidara, has also gone to that organization.
But now Akatsuki actually went to his own head and took action. It's really abominable.
However, Ōnoki has never been an impulsive person. He knows how to weigh the pros and cons.
Although Akatsuki is just an organization composed of Rogue Ninja, its combat effectiveness is very strong, and all its core members are S-level Rogue Ninja.
"Is there any more information? Have you figured out who captured Roshi?"
"Yes!"
The man replied.
"According to those who came back, it was Kisame Hoshigaki and Uchiha Itachi of Akatsuki who captured Roshi!"
"Uchiha Itachi!"
Ōnoki instantly realized that something was not quite right.
"Quickly, call Sealing Squad people to gather together, don't let those who come back leave!"
"What's wrong Lord Tsuchikage? Those Ninjas who finally escaped have already disbanded and gone to rest."
"Those people are most likely to have been hit by Uchiha Itachi's Genjutsu. If they are disbanded, please have them come back quickly! Go quickly!"
Iwagakure Inn, Konoha delegation resting place.
"Tuk-tuk-tuk~!"
"Here we come, wait a moment."
A Chunin with Konoha Forehead Protector opened the door to the guest room, and was a little surprised to see the strange Ninja outside.
"Hello, what's the matter with you? Or does Lord Tsuchikage have any other arrangements?"
The Ninja with dull eyes said.
"Akatsuki plans to capture Nine Tailed Beasts. They will seal Tailed Beast in a powerful golem to gain powerful power to subvert Shinobi World. All Jinchūriki will become their targets."
"What did you say?"
Hearing this, Konoha's eyes widened and he was a little confused for a moment.
"Ah? Why am I here?"
After saying this, the dull eyes of Iwagakure and Ninja returned to normal, but he seemed to be missing part of his memory.
"Are you Ninja from Konoha? Do you know why I appear here?"
"You don't know why you came here just now?"
"Yeah, why am I here?"
Konoha's Chunin immediately realized that the person in front of them must be controlled by someone, and used his mouth to tell them the information.
"Oh, you were just passing by. I heard footsteps outside, so I opened the door to take a look."
"That's right. I understand. Excuse me."
Before he could completely get over the influence of Genjutsu, he left in a daze.
As a result, as soon as he returned to his residence, he was controlled by a group of people.
"What are you going to do! Let me go, you can't do this to me, I have bled for Iwagakure, I have been injured for Iwagakure!"
"Who among the people present has not shed blood for Iwagakure, and who has not been hurt for the village? Stop talking nonsense and take it away!"
The man leading the team waved his hand and asked his men to hold him down and take him away.
And he also knew that the most important thing he should do now was to stand there and not move. Resisting or anything like that would only make his situation more difficult.
Half an hour later, Tsuchikage office.
"Lord Tsuchikage, the results are out.
The Ninja said that he had nothing to do with Konoha, and multiple witnesses testified that he went to see the group of Konoha, but the group of Konoha said that he was just passing by and happened to stop at their door.
After having someone check him, there are indeed signs of Genjutsu being applied to his body, and it was a very clever Genjutsu, so that he himself did not find any abnormalities, and he also lost all memories from the time he returned to the village to the time he was captured by us."
"I understand, you go down first. By the way, notify him, release him, and compensate him with the funds of an A-level person. Then let him watch secretly, pay close attention to his every move, and pay attention to see who has contacted him after this."
"Yes!"
When he was the only one left in the office, Ōnoki sat in his seat and lowered his head in thought.
"Top Genjutsu, Uchiha Itachi, Konoha, Akatsuki..."
These things all seemed to point him to the same conclusion.
"Konoha, it seems you have hidden it deeper than me."
If all his guesses are correct, and if Konoha is really behind Akatsuki, then Konoha may be playing a very big game.
So that to complete the early stage of this game, one needs to sacrifice Uchiha Clan, one of the important components of Konoha's combat power, and one person needs to bear endless sins.
"I'm afraid this matter is a little tricky. Maybe I should find someone to talk to."
After thinking for a while, he picked up the phone, opened the contacts and hesitated for a long time on a person's name.
The note on the phone clearly says Fourth Raikage.
However, after much hesitation, he still chose to make the call.
At the same time, Konoha and Konoha delegation in Iwagakure also passed the message back.
Hokage Office, Tsunade rubbed the center of his eyebrows sadly.
"What the hell is going on."
She looked at the information passed back from Iwagakure. Why did Akatsuki want to collect Nine Tailed Beasts? What did Akatsuki want to seal all Tailed Beast into a golem, and then they would use the power of the golem to subvert Shinobi World?
The most important thing is who passed this information back!
How reliable is it?
"Could it be that Old Man left some hidden spies outside back then that I don't know about?"
Tsunade counted the people who left from Konoha.
The first thing she thought of was that man, Uchiha Itachi.
However, this answer was quickly rejected.
If Uchiha Itachi is an undercover agent, then all this is crazy.
