In the woods on the outskirts of Konoha, there was a concealed space enclosed by a barrier Yemu had set up.
Yemu, Qingxue Uchiha, and Hinata Hyuga were secretly planning an operation.
The three of them had formed a squad to carry it out.
Yemu leaned against a tree trunk, his gaze thoughtful as he scanned the map, his tone quite calm.
"Our objective is clear. We head to Amegakure and spread the word."
"Naruto has already mastered the Nine-Tails' power. The goal is to draw the Akatsuki's attention toward Kumogakure. Once they clash with the Raikage, our mission is complete."
Qingxue sat on a branch, swinging her legs with a mischievous smile on her face.
"You meanie, you finally let me out. Do you have any idea how bored I was in that room?"
"And you, Hinata, did you seriously just take a step back? You sealed my chakra without a shred of mercy. If I wanted to kill you, you'd already be dead."
Hinata Hyuga looked helpless.
"Qingxue, I... I trust you."
Despite her words, Hinata Hyuga's body betrayed her. She ducked straight behind Yemu, then slowly poked her little head out.
Her eyes were full of fear as she looked at Qingxue Uchiha.
Seeing this,
Qingxue Uchiha's expression instantly darkened.
"Yemu, no matter how chaotic things get, I'll play along with you."
"But what I really want to know is what you're thinking."
Yemu fell silent for a moment. He was also sending his puppet army toward Kumogakure.
The more people fought and died,
the greater the quality and numbers of the puppets at his disposal would become.
Go ahead and fight. When the time comes, you'll discover that the final boss was right beside you all along.
Hinata sat nearby, clutching the hem of her clothes
