Nothing in this world was absolute. Even if there was no ten-thousandth chance, there was still that one possibility. Even Black Zetsu did not dare guarantee that Konan would be completely safe.
"Arrogant!!!!"
Faced with the Five Great Shinobi Villages' declaration of war, the Akatsuki Organization accepted the challenge. Ōnoki, Rasa, and the others immediately felt that Akatsuki was far too arrogant.
Yes, they admitted that the Six Paths of Pain had displayed tremendous strength. But did they really intend to oppose the Five Great Shinobi Villages with just the Six Paths of Pain and a few s-rank rogue ninja? That was simply too naïve.
"I hope that the next time, the strength displayed by your Five Great Shinobi Villages will not amount to so little."
The Cloning Dog that had given Rasa such a headache vanished, along with the other bizarre summoned beasts. The Deva Path looked calmly at the four of them. "In that case, from this moment on, the Five Great Shinobi Villages are Akatsuki's enemies. Neither side will rest until the other is dead!!!!"
Other than Akatsuki, what organization or force in this world dared speak to the Five Great Shinobi Villages like that? This did not merely mean they were declaring war on the Five Great Shinobi Villages—it was equivalent to declaring war on the entire world.
After all, if the Five Great Shinobi Villages truly got serious, they would surely pull countless large and small villages into their camp. By then, Akatsuki would truly be making enemies of the entire world.
Whether they were arrogant, whether they possessed such strength and backing, was no longer for the Five Great Shinobi Villages to decide. Aside from Hikaru, no one knew the true depth of the Akatsuki Organization.
