" Lord Hokage, isn't it too early?" asked a Jonin from the Hyuga Clan.
After all, Xiao Tian Uchiha's presence in power, and his possession of the Hyuga Clan blood, is advantageous to the Hyuga Clan.
Hiruzen Sarutobi, Utatane Koharu, and Mitokado Homura frowned. They hoped that Xiao Tian Uchiha would continue as Hokage, but they also agreed with Xiao Tian Uchiha's suggestion.
They knew that the presence of Xiao Tian Uchiha in the shadows would instill even greater fear in the Kumogakure, Iwagakure, and Kirigakure.
"We support the Hokage's opinion!"
The three elders and advisors seconded the motion, Kakashi also seconded it.
And so, the selection of the Sixth Hokage began!
While many in Konoha who believed they could compete for the Sixth Hokage were eager to try, Xiao Tian Uchiha already had a candidate in mind, and the three elder advisors also knew who Xiao Tian's choice was.
Not long after, shocking news came from Kirigakure! While the Mizukage was leading his guards to the Five Kage Summit, their home base was raided, resulting in heavy casualties and the theft of much of their wealth and resources!
Based on all the clues, it's confirmed! It was the Akatsuki that did it!
In an instant, the Akatsuki became infamous and universally hated!
Upon receiving this news, Nagato was furious and revealed Konoha Uchiha Xiao Tian's secret to his insiders. At the same time, he organized the ninjas of the Land of Rain to expose the hypocritical mask of this devil, Uchiha Xiao Tian.
Two days later, rumors spread throughout the Land of Rain.
"Hey! Have you heard? The Fifth Hokage of Konoha, Xiao Tian Uchiha, is actually a devil. He can summon the Six Paths Bodies with the Rinne Samsara ability. The brutality of Kirigakure was all done by Xiao Tian Uchiha. In fact, the Akatsuki is a righteous organization; they are only working hard for the peace of the Shinobi World!"
"Hey! What nonsense are you spouting! In the Land of Rain, Akatsuki members besieged Sasuke Uchiha, then Xiao Tian Uchiha arrived and forcefully killed an Akatsuki member named Sasori of the Red Sands. He even rode the summoning beast Shenron to hunt down someone with the Rinnegan! Akatsuki is the evil one! You bunch of shills!"
Even now, rumors within Konoha continue to escalate, and a few individuals who aspire to become the Sixth Hokage are making underhanded moves.
Upon learning of the malicious rumors circulating in the village about him, Xiao Tian smiled slightly, "There are bad people among the villagers!"
A day later, another bombshell piece of news swept through the Shinobi World like a typhoon!
The ultimate goal of the Akatsuki is to capture the world's Tailed Beast and revive the Ten-Tails, which once destroyed the world. The Akatsuki intends to control the Ten-Tails to rule the Shinobi World and create a unique kingdom! Anyone who resists will be purged and bloodied!
Furthermore, the Akatsuki did indeed capture the Two-Tails, a fact confirmed by Raikage A. In an instant, the rumors about Xiao Tian Uchiha were dispelled, making the Akatsuki synonymous with evil forces and despised by everyone. Many ninjas spontaneously began to collect and search for traces of the Akatsuki.
In the Shinobi World, even slogans have been erected!
"Join forces to destroy Akatsuki, and bring peace to the Shinobi World!"
Deidara, having discerned the Akatsuki's Yan Feng in the Shinobi World and casually sold off several of the Akatsuki's bases.
In a short time, the revenge army led by Mizukage Mei Terumi invaded the Land of Rain, directly destroying several Akatsuki bases. However, the Akatsuki's strong members had already fled, but through some information and traces of their long-term life, it was confirmed that the Akatsuki had indeed lived in several bases.
Subsequently, led by the Mizukage Mei Terumi, and joined by the Tsuchikage Ōnoki and the Raikage A, an invitation was extended to the Fifth Hokage Xiao Tian Uchiha and the Fifth Kazekage Gaara. The Five Kage Summit was to be held again, with the destination being the Land of Iron!
