"Among Akatsuki, there are currently only three people who can have an impact on our plan, Yahiko, Konan and Ye--but, strictly speaking, Ye is not a member of Akatsuki."
After a while, one day, outside a battlefield in Land of Rain.
Wearing a mask, Obito looked at the battle between Akatsuki and Amegakure troops, his eyes flickering.
Black Zetsu on the side reminded.
"White Zetsu has been exposed - but as long as Nagato can take over Akatsuki and let Xiao develop according to our expectations, there will be no problem."
"The premise is that Yahiko is a bit difficult to deal with - his existence is very detrimental to our plan, so we must get rid of him."
"From now on, your identity is Madara--"
"In view of the bond between Nagato and Yahiko, it would be unwise for us to attack Yahiko, so it is best to use external forces.
Of course, we can also contact Yahiko first - as long as Yahiko dies, we can take the opportunity to change Nagato's belief."
"Hanzo of the Salamander has teamed up with Shimura Danzō to frame Akatsuki."
Black Zetsu kept saying.
"Ye? Which one is him?"
Obito glanced at the battlefield and said coldly.
"He is not here - he is the main force of the Akatsuki logistics medical team and basically does not participate in the battlefield."
Black Zetsu replied.
"Where is his identity?"
Obito asked.
"Well - since he entered the Akatsuki, we have been pursuing other projects and plans and have not focused much on him. Moreover, this person also acts very cautiously and mysteriously - so far, his background is unclear."
"The only thing we know is that he is related to a certain force, and his purpose of contacting Akatsuki was to benefit from this war, but due to the existence of Yahiko, he failed."
"Now, it seems that he has separated from the behind-the-scenes organization - he is affiliated with Xiao. Although he is not Xiao's management, Nagato and Konan are very convinced of him because he has rescued a large number of wounded people in the organization and has a high status. Everyone respects him."
Obito nodded, "In other words, apart from Yahiko, the one who is in trouble now is Sunagakure."
"Yes, Konan seems to have reached a cooperation with Fourth Kazekage behind Yahiko's back - the content of their cooperation is not clear."
"What I am more curious about is that given the relationship between Konan and Yahiko, she will not easily betray the beliefs of Xiao and the organization. If Yahiko knows about this, she will definitely be angry - Xiao does not need to rely on Sunagakure to end this war."
"What is her purpose in finding Sunagakure? There is no way she will betray Akatsuki--"
Black Zetsu joked.
"Nagato and Ye were both involved in this matter - the three of them were the only insiders. The turning point was that Hanzō wanted to recruit Akatsuki at the beginning. The three of them seemed to have had a brief conversation - due to the environment at the time, White Zetsu did not dare to get too close, and the content of the conversation between the three was not clear."
"Follow-up, Sunagakure was killed by Fourth Kazekage - White Zetsu acted more carefully within the organization."
"Don't worry about Sunagakure."
After hearing this, Obito thought for a moment, "The most important thing right now is to find Nagato first - to speed up the control of Akatsuki."
"As for Yahiko, let me test it first."
With that said, the two of them prepared to join the battlefield in front of them.
With the foreshadowing of White Zetsu, his understanding of Xiao, and his control of Sharingan, he and Black Zetsu can naturally enter Akatsuki.
Fit in perfectly and become one of them.
On the other end, Amegakure.
Danzo only took two guards, and was guided by Amegakure into a palace room.
I saw Hanzo of the Salamander who was in a high position, with leering eyes and a domineering posture.
"Humph - I didn't expect that you actually dared to come to see me alone."
"Aren't you afraid that I will kill you?"
Hanzō's eyes revealed murderous intent, staring at Danzo who had a calm face.
"Stop talking nonsense - I didn't come here to listen to your threats." Danzo said calmly.
Both of them are Shinobi World veterans, and they don't care about such superficial remarks.
On the other hand, when the two guards around Danzo heard what Hanzō said, they immediately put on a defensive posture and looked extremely nervous.
Danzo raised his hand to signal, the two guards looked at each other and left.
When Hanzō saw this, he also looked away, and Amegakure in the hall evacuated one after another.
Then, Danzo walked to a position on his own, sat down slowly, and said, "It's almost time - I want to come to see you to ensure that your and my plan can successfully close the network. If you are the only one to do it, I won't worry."
"That's a very loud tone - Hiruzen Sarutobi probably doesn't know what's going on between you and me." Hanzō sneered.
"Such a trivial matter is not enough to alarm Ying."
Danzo said calmly.
"I help you deal with Xiao, on the one hand, for the sake of regional political stability, and on the other hand, to give you a chance."
Danzo said.
"That's nice to say - Shimura Danzō, you and Hiruzen Sarutobi are not the same kind of people. You said you were helping me, but in fact it was just for the benefit of Konoha.

Hanzō pressed down and looked at the former with playful eyes. "You want to have a good relationship with us Amegakure - because you are afraid of Sunagakure!"
"It's that kid--Fourth Kazekage!"
In this Shinobi World battle, Sunagakure can be said to be the only winner.
Now, the conditions of the other great ninja villages are not good, including Konoha.
What if Sunagakure takes any action at this time, such as tearing up the armistice contract and launching an offensive against Konoha--
So, Land of Rain, as a strategic location bordering the two great powers of Wind and Fire, is very crucial.
If Land of Rain switches sides to Land of Wind, it will be very fatal for Konoha.
Danzo This is an attempt to win over them Amegakure.
The outside world thinks that he Hanzō is a tycoon and powerful, but he is not outstanding in managing state affairs and military operations, and is a bit brave and foolhardy.
But this is just due to his personality, it does not mean that he is really stupid.
He can single-handedly grow a village to such an extent that just using force is not enough.
"Since you Konoha have signed an armistice agreement with Sunagakure, what else do you have to worry about? Hiruzen Sarutobi is not as suspicious as you - as Hokage, he doesn't worry, so what are you afraid of?" Hanzō asked knowingly.
"As long as an agreement can be reached, it can also be destroyed at any time - it has no binding force."
Danzo glanced at Hanzō, ignoring his ridicule at him, and said calmly, "It seems that you are not that confused yet - if you Amegakure had purchased Sunagakure's drug resources because of the civil war, then I would not be here today."
Amegakure does not have the drug resources to buy Sunagakure, which means that Hanzō must be somewhat repulsive to Sunagakure.
At least, there is no thought of falling into the other side's camp.
Hanzo of the Salamander, who has been strong all his life, this man known as Demigod of the Ninja World will not bow to anyone easily.
Even if it's just to please--
"In the past few years of the Shinobi World war, Sunagakure has been sparing no effort to develop - and the results are amazing. They Sunagakure should not be underestimated now. Once they have the economy and strong military strength, what do you think - Sunagakure will do next?"
Danzo withdrew his gaze and squinted, "The strong rise of Fourth Kazekage has brought about radical changes to Sunagakure, but their village's inherent disadvantage is also obvious - the lack of resources. Otherwise, their transactions with several villages this time will not be based on resource replacement."
"Just like Kumogakure back then, once a village's military strength reaches a certain level, there must be an outlet - and war is the only solution."
"You were like this back then, weren't you -"
Danzo sneered, "Fourth Kazekage's next step is very likely to target the neighboring countries around Land of Wind and start military expansion - even if it does not provoke a war, it will achieve strategic oppression and dominance. With your Amegakure strength, there is no other way out except joining forces with us Konoha."
"Of course, if you really want to deal with Sunagakure - we Konoha will not help you openly, and the third generation Hokage will not agree. So, you can only join forces with me -"
"Hanzō, between you and me, the initiative lies with me, not you."
Danzo gave Hanzō a strong look in return.
Hanzō heard this, his eyes were cold.
But unusually, there was no reply.
"Get the matter with Akatsuki as soon as possible, and then carefully plan how to deal with Sunagakure."
Danzo After finishing speaking, he stood up and left.
