Chapter 92 Building Blocks and Preparations(2/3)
This kind of thing has its pros and cons. As Jiraiya's investigation deepens, Konoha will sooner or later notice Nagato's movements.
In order to regain the autonomy of the Rain Country, Nagato will definitely attack Konoha. Only when Konoha becomes chaotic will he have the opportunity to free the Rain Country from the restrictions of the Fire Country.
Ayane is now pregnant and goes to deal with Konoha personally. Shiraishi feels that it is quite reluctant for him and Ruri to work together.
After all, the yellow flashing Namikaze Minato is not an ordinary ninja.
The same trick won't work on him twice.
The fastest ninja in the ninja world, Shiraishi has to agree with this.
When the speed reaches a certain extreme, it means trouble and trouble.
But if Konoha is drawn into Nagato's hostility, it might not be a bad idea to make both parties suffer.
"It seems that there is no need to take action personally regarding the Nine-Tails Jinchuuriki. Compared to me, Nagato, who wants to get the Rain Country out of the Fire Country's control as soon as possible, is more anxious to cause chaos in Konoha."
Moreover, regarding Kirigakure's matter, he must also be prepared. Yagura's side has sent messages more than once and will take action within the next two or three months.
At that time, it was obvious that he was too weak to deal with Konoha himself.
Even if you have the ability to deal with Konoha, the Fourth Hokage, the Nine-Tails Jinchuuriki, and many Konoha Jonin, it still represents a huge risk.
Unlike dealing with the aging Uchiha Madara, Konoha's power is quite terrifying.
Instead of giving Nagato the opportunity to deal with Konoha, which has attracted Konoha's attention so far, he can achieve the effect of weakening Konoha without spending a single soldier, killing two birds with one stone.
After making this decision, Shiraishi picked up a pen and wrote on the blank scroll, then rolled it up.
Write the contents on the two scrolls respectively and hand them over to the people below.
"The rest of the work is just waiting."
Shiraishi got up and left the office, heading to the laboratory to continue his research on tailed beasts and zero-tails.
How to apply the power of the tailed beast to the clone can effectively improve the strength of himself and the clone. Shiraishi is very concerned about this kind of thing.

"Oh, another brother has died. It looks like he died miserably."
In the canyon at the junction of the Rain Country and the Fire Country, a light rain fell.
A white Zetsu died quietly on the roadside with kunai inserted all over his body.
Several Bai Jue emerged from the ground, found the Bai Jue corpse, and began to complain.
"Although he is not a special type of White Zetsu, he can find traces accurately. It seems that he is the guy who can drill around in the soil just like us."
A Bai Jue analyzed it.
"Oh, is he that sinister guy who is similar to Xiao Hei?"
Another White Zetsu responded.
"Anyway, let's get rid of the body first."
The other Bai Jue licked their tongues and looked at the dead Bai Jue on the ground, as if they were about to taste some delicious food and couldn't wait.
When he was about to eat the body, one of the Bai Zetsu realized something was wrong and stopped him from eating the corpse.
"etc."
"What's wrong?"
"There is something in the body."
The Bai Zetsu who noticed the abnormality came closer, picked up the kunai on the corpse, and with one stroke, cut open the belly of the Bai Zetsu corpse.
There was no blood or internal organs, and there was only a scroll inside.
"What's this?"
"Idiot, it's a scroll."
"I know it's a scroll. Why is there a scroll in your belly?"
"Maybe the enemy wants to convey some information to us."
"Could it be a trap?"
Bai Jue started discussing in a flurry of words.
This matter has a history.
In the past, Ruri used White Zetsu as bait and successfully found the location of their master, Uchiha Madara.
This scroll is placed here so suspiciously. It can't be said that it is not a trap. It was placed here deliberately to let them fall into the trap.
However, they were really itching to know what was in the scroll.
So, a Bai Jue picked up the scroll, and nothing unusual happened.
"It looks like there are no traps or booby traps on it."
Bai Jue breathed a sigh of relief as he picked up the scroll.
"Stop talking nonsense, open it quickly and take a look at the contents."
"I see."
Bai Jue, who was holding the scroll, opened it. The other Bai Jue came over to take a look, but no one touched the scroll.
They saw a simple sentence——
——In October, the Nine-Tails Jinchuuriki will give birth, and the Nine-Tails Seal will be weak. You can go to Room 323 on the third floor of Konoha Hospital to identify the authenticity.
"What does it mean?"
Bai Jue, holding the scroll, began to think.
While he was thinking about the meaning of this sentence, a White Zetsu suddenly attacked from behind, picked up the kunai inserted into the corpse, and stabbed it into his body.
The scroll fell from his hand, and Bai Zetsu, who was killed by the kunai, looked confused and confused until he died, showing a confused expression of "Why did you kill me?"
The other Bai Jue looked at the Bai Jue who had killed the killer in confusion.
The Bai Jue who killed Bai Jue said without any guilt: "Idiot, he touched the scroll. Who knows if there is a tracking mark on the scroll. We only need to know the content on the scroll. We can't win the same thing again.
It’s a trap, be careful and you won’t be in serious trouble.”
Hearing his explanation, the other Bai Jue showed admiration.
Next, they picked up stones and smashed the scroll, destroying it without touching the scroll.
Afterwards, Bai Jue's body was destroyed on the spot.
After doing all this, they returned to their base with this important news.

The path inside the cave behind the waterfall is like a maze with complicated routes. People who are not familiar with this place are likely to get lost here.
There are Bai Jue on guard everywhere, both on the road and in the surrounding soil. There is no possibility of the enemy entering or exiting at will.
"In October, the Nine-Tails Jinchuuriki gives birth..."
Nagato, who is proficient in the ability of six corpses, couldn't help but be shocked after hearing the news.
However, Nagato soon came to his senses.
Are you telling him such important information to let him fight Konoha?
Black Zetsu said with a hint of meaning: "This may be a bait to make Nagato-sama fall into a trap."
"It is indeed possible."
Nagato nodded.
The possibility of letting him and Konoha fight fiercely, and then reaping the benefits at the critical moment and getting rid of both him and Konoha is really too high.
After thinking for a moment, Nagato asked:
"When a Jinchuuriki gives birth, the seal will weaken... Is this true or false?"
Black Zetsu prepared a response: "It's true. Female Jinchuuriki do have such disadvantages. During childbirth, the tailed beast's suppressive power will become weaker."
"That is to say, the other party is not targeting the target randomly."
Nagato said meaningfully.
"Nagato-sama, are you..."
"This is one of the few opportunities to weaken Konoha. I need to take Yugakure into my hands as soon as possible."
"This could be a trap."
"Even if it's a trap, it's worth trying. I can't wait too long."
Nagato responded to Black Zetsu like this.
Black Zetsu fell silent, knowing that Nagato had made up his mind.
What the other party showed was an absolute conspiracy, seizing Nagato's weakness - the Land of Rain, so that Nagato had to deal with Konoha even though he knew it might be a bait.
To be continued...
