“It’s the ultimate enjoyment to sit here and listen to the rain occasionally.”

In a room located on the top floor of the central tower, the rain outside was pouring towards the window, and there was a rhythmic sound of pattering and slapping on the window.

A handsome man with waist-length black hair and purple eyeshadow was sitting on a loose and soft single sofa, holding a tea cup in his hand. Judging from the look on his face when he spoke, he looked very comfortable at this time.

"It's also rare to see Mr. Orochimaru drinking tea leisurely."

Nagato sat opposite Orochimaru, sitting on a soft sofa of the same standard. Looking at Orochimaru's leisurely drinking tea, he let out a rare emotion.

"Don't say that, even I sometimes need to temporarily stop what I am doing, combine work and rest, and enjoy my leisure time. And this village is a rare place where people can calm down."

The continuous rain outside washes away all the noise and filth in the world, unnaturally making people feel peaceful.

Orochimaru said calmly with a faint smile on his strangely pale face.

"Really? But for the people of this village and country, what they desire most is to get enough sunshine."

Nagato sighed, with a hint of helplessness in his smile.

For people who don’t often live in this country, it will indeed have a curious and interesting mentality.

But for people who have lived in this country all their lives, facing such abnormal weather all day long may not be considered a blessing.

Because of this abnormal weather, planting is impossible in many areas of the Country of Rain, and food that is very important to the people must be imported from abroad.

From the day he took over Yuyin Village, he was troubled by the problem of food shortage every day.

After hearing this, Orochimaru smiled and said nothing.

As Nagato said, this kind of weather that makes him feel calm is not something to be thankful for for the citizens of the Land of Rain.

On the contrary, the reason why the Rain Country is so barren and difficult to develop is also related to this abnormal weather.

A country that has difficulty growing food will be restricted by outsiders in international diplomacy once its neck is blocked by foreign forces on the issue of food survival.

Until now, the Kingdom of Rain has not been able to completely solve this problem.

If even the problem of survival becomes difficult to solve, let alone the path to future development.

Unless the weather in the Kingdom of Rain can be reversed.

But as far as Orochimaru knows, human technology and power are currently unable to change a country's climate problems.

Even a powerful ninja like Nagato with the Eye of Reincarnation cannot change the weather of a country.

"Compared to this, has the deal with the Kingdom of Ghosts been completed? Chiba Shiraishi is a guy who eats people without spitting out their bones."

Orochimaru asked after taking a sip of tea.

Nagato nodded slightly, with a hint of seriousness in his tone.

"The negotiations have been initially completed. After all, at this time, the climate of the Ghost Country has become established, but we are a little unprepared. To unilaterally break the agreement is not a good thing for the organization."

Facing the traditional five major countries, Nagato has a certain courage to fight.

This is because everything in Akatsuki is done in secret rather than in the open.

When the enemy is overt and we are hidden, as long as the layout is careful, the difference in intelligence between the two sides can be used to successfully capture the tailed beasts one by one.

But facing the Kingdom of Ghosts, Nagato did not have this confidence.

Until now, he still doesn't know how much power the Kingdom of Demons has secretly accumulated, and how far it has learned about the Akatsuki organization.

If the Demon Country, which has become the sixth largest nation, is also involved when dealing with the traditional five major nations, Nagato will know that the Demon Nation will be the biggest variable in the action of capturing the tailed beasts.

"This kind of consideration is just the basis, but this kind of agreement, I think you also understand Nagato, if the Demon Country does not take the initiative to target the organization, it must have other plans. For example, secretly fueling the fire, allowing the Akatsuki organization to take a step further in capturing the tailed beasts.

, when necessary, take the initiative to expose everything about the Akatsuki organization, causing conflicts between the Akatsuki organization and several major powers."

Orochimaru meant something.

This method is not something difficult to predict in country-to-country diplomacy.

However, the Kingdom of Demons happened to have caught the weakness of the Akatsuki organization. Even if they knew that the Kingdom of Demons was taking advantage of this to instigate conflicts between the organization and the big powers, as members of the Akatsuki organization, they had to jump into this trap.

"I have also thought about this kind of problem. That's why I feel that Chiba Shiraishi is a very scary guy. He knows that the power of the tailed beast is so powerful, but he still ignores it and holds back... Mr. Orochimaru,

Do you think Chiba Shiraishi has some kind of absolute killer move against tailed beasts?"

Nagato's guess seemed reasonable to Orochimaru.

The power of one tailed beast is debatable, but with multiple tailed beasts and the bodies of the ten tails, it is not as simple as adding up the power of the tailed beasts.

Under the catalytic action of the Outer Dao Golem, the tailed beast will undergo a qualitative change from quantitative change.

However, the Kingdom of Oni has been not very active in this matter. It has only turned a blind eye to the actions of the Akatsuki organization and has not interfered excessively.

The reason why the operation to capture the second tail conflicted with the Kingdom of Demons was only because Kumogakure suddenly intervened, causing the Kingdom of Demons to temporarily change its tactics. It can be imagined that in the initial plan of the Kingdom of Demons, they

The plan is to plot against Konoha Village, not against Kumogakure.

In the eyes of ordinary people, this is a very unreasonable thing.

But it turned out that such an unreasonable thing happened to the Demon Country, which inevitably made Nagato wary.

"This kind of hidden hand card is generally not announced to the outside world. It is just like the trump card in our hand. We can only see which side's hand card is more deterrent. Now we have two tailed beasts.

Next, there are only seven tailed beasts left...the focus should be on the three-tailed, seven-tailed, and eight-tailed jinchūriki."

Both the Three-Tails and the Eight-Tails are extremely rare perfect Jinchuuriki in the ninja world.

The former is the fourth generation Mizukage of Kirigakure Village, and the latter is the adopted brother of the fourth generation Raikage of Kumogakure. It is not easy to deal with these two people.

As for the Seven-Tailed Jinchuri Rinohara Rin, she belongs to the Kingdom of Demons, so if you want to attack her, it will be even more troublesome than the first two.

"Reviving the Ten-Tails does not necessarily require all the chakra of the tailed beasts. During the Third Ninja War in the past, Bai Zetsu had already intercepted part of the Seven-Tails Chakra from Nohara Rin and saved it. However, the Nine-Tails

The strength is the top priority.”

Having said this, Nagato glanced at Orochimaru.

Now Konoha Nine-Tails Jinchuuriki has graduated from Konoha Ninja School and serves as a genin in the team led by Hatake Kakashi.

As for Hatake Kakashi, he remembered that there were countless connections between him and Orochimaru.

"The existence of the Nine-Tails is indeed a bit special. Its chakra strength is different from other tailed beasts."

Orochimaru nodded.

He has studied the chakras of many head-tailed beasts and found that the self-awareness of the nine-tailed chakra is the strongest, and the malice contained in the chakra is also the strongest.

The amount of chakra of a tailed beast is just a vague level concept, but it does not apply to all tailed beasts, nor does it mean that the amount of chakra of all tailed beasts is the same. There are also strong differences between the tailed beasts.

Weak Surprise, just like ninjas, has a hierarchical concept of strength and weakness.

The Nine Tails has always been called the strongest among the tailed beasts, and its chakra is naturally much higher than that of the other tailed beasts.

In the notes left by the first Hokage, it was also mentioned that the most ferocious of the tailed beasts is the Nine-Tails. Its powerful power broke the balance between the tailed beasts to a certain extent.

In the era when the Ninja Village was first established, thanks to the sealing technique of the Uzumaki clan, except for Konoha, the other Ninja Villages did not have the ability to suppress and seal the Nine-Tails.

The carrier of the Nine-Tails' Jinchuuriki must have a quality that exceeds that of the other Jinchuuriki in order to serve as a container for sealing the Nine-Tails.

Judging from the fact that for three consecutive generations, the containers that sealed the Nine-Tails contained the blood of the Uzumaki clan, it shows how powerful and terrifying the Nine-Tails is.

Orochimaru did not deny this.

"However, I don't think there is anything to worry about with this generation of Nine-Tails Jinchuuriki."

Having said this, Orochimaru changed the subject again, with a smile on his lips.

"From the intelligence point of view, there is really nothing worth noting. The cycle of cultivating jinchūriki is much longer than that of ordinary ninjas. Even activating the power of the nine tails in the body requires strong emotional stimulation.

He does not have the consciousness to actively control the power of the Nine-Tails, and in this regard, he lags far behind the other Jinchūriki."

Nagato told this information in detail.

It also means that he has read the detailed information about the Nine-Tailed Jinchuuriki word by word and analyzed such important information from it.

"So, the most threatening ones are the three Jinchūriki above. Although the Nine-Tails is the strongest, the Jinchūriki are not a threat if they are held back. It would be too late to catch them at the end."

Orochimaru said with a smile.

"Is it because of the agreement with Hatake Kakashi?"

Nagato's eyes flickered.

"Having the Nine-Tails Jinchuuriki abducted at this time will only make Kakashi's situation in Konoha awkward and provoke the Sandaime to target him. Before he completes what he wants to do, he is not completely like me.

People on one side."

Orochimaru said.

"It would be best to win him over...if he doesn't have too much involvement with Qianye Baishi."

A bright light flashed across Nagato's emotionless eyes.

Orochimaru raised his eyebrows and said nothing to refute. He also wanted to know if there was any involvement between Kakashi and Chiba Shiraishi.

Although Kakashi's performance is currently normal, and he has worked hard for him over the years and delivered a lot of important information about Konoha to the Akatsuki organization, the matter is so important that neither he nor Nagato dare to be too concerned about it.

Too sure.

Once he is involved with the name Chiba Shiraishi, even Kakashi and his camp affiliation will become suspicious.
