In the starry sky thousands of meters away from the earth, there are only a few stars, and the sky is deep blue.

The huge stone ball that is constantly rotating around the Ninja World continental plate is desolate and lifeless.

The giant wooden man sitting cross-legged has already opened four of its eyes, and the fifth and sixth eyes are in a half-open state. However, as the chakra of the three-tails and six-tails continues to merge into the giant wooden man,

, these two eyes were completely opened recently.

Nagato, who was doing the sealing work alone, was controlling the sealing technique to absorb the chakra of the two tailed beasts. Through the induction of the samsara eye, he could feel the huge wooden man, that is, the abyss-like chakra inside the heretic golem.

carat.

Even though he knew that the so-called Ten-Tails were nine tailed beasts united into one and completely superior to the tailed beasts, as more and more tailed beasts were sealed, Nagato became more intuitive about the power of the Ten-Tails.

understanding.

Rather than saying that it is increasing in the process of sealing the tailed beasts, it is better to say that the Ten Tails are awakening their original power.

"This is really amazing chakra, almost like a demon."

In terms of chakra amount alone, the Ten-Tails in this state has completely surpassed him.

When the three tails and six tails are all returned to their positions, the intensity of chakra will increase to a higher level.

If all the tailed beasts return to their original positions in the future, Nagato cannot imagine that he can really control this powerful force.

As the old saying goes - you stare into the abyss, and the abyss stares into you.

This is the abyss created by chakra.

This kind of chakra accumulation is not just a mere numerical advantage, but a more special nature.

In this regard, Nagato needed to put a question mark in his mind.

Just when Nagato was thinking seriously, a chakra fluctuation suddenly came from the ring with the word "zero" engraved on his finger. Someone was using a spell in the ring to send a message to him.

"Konan?"

Nagato caught this familiar chakra aura and immediately determined who was sending the message to him.

At the same time, Xiaonan's voice also sounded in my ears at the right time:

"Nagato, I'm very sorry to disturb you at this time. There is one thing I think you need to know. The Eight-Tails Jinchuuriki failed to be captured."

"Really? So, how are Kisame and Beiruhu doing?"

Nagato seemed unmoved when he heard the news from Konan. He was more concerned about the safety of the organization members than the Eight-Tails.

As the core members become fewer and fewer, both Kisame and Beiruhu have very valuable fighting power.

You can capture the tailed beasts at any time, but now one of the core members is missing, and you can no longer leisurely replenish new combat power.

Moreover, most of the well-known S-class rebellious ninjas in the ninja world have already joined Akatsuki. Even if there is time to find them, it is difficult to replenish them.

"Heilihu is fine. Kisame seems to have been seriously injured due to the Eight-Tails Jinchuuriki battle. He needs some time to recuperate and will not be able to participate in the battle for a short time."

With that said, Konan briefly described the battle between Kisame and the Eight-Tails. These were narrated by Kisame and supplemented by Beiruhu.

Although it is only a few sentences, it also describes the intensity of the battle between Kisame and the Eight-Tailed Jinchuuriki in detail.

"To be able to fight to this level against the complete Eight-Tails, it seems that Kisame is more powerful than I thought. However, this is also his advantage."

Nagato has a general understanding of the abilities and characteristics of each member of the Akatsuki organization.

In terms of ability to capture alive, Kisame can be said to be one of the best in the organization.

Especially for large-volume chakra aggregates like tailed beasts, Kisame's abilities and characteristics can be brought into full play.

But if faced with such a small and fast ninja, it would be a threat to Kisame.

From a tactical point of view, the Eight-Tails Jinchuuriki made a mistake in fighting Kisame from the beginning.

However, even if the tactics were successful and the Eight-Tails Jinchuuriki was successfully forced into a desperate situation, the opponent still managed to escape using the golden cicada's escape plan.

This really made Nagato feel pity.

"However, there is something strange."

Xiaonan hesitated a little at this time.

"What's up?"

"Kisame failed to capture the Eight-Tailed Jinchuuriki, but Kumogakure's search force is still searching for the Eight-Tailed Jinchuuriki's whereabouts with great fanfare, as if they believe that the Eight-Tailed Jinchuuriki has really been taken away by us."

Konan's answer shocked Nagato.

"I heard that this Eight-Tails Jinchuuriki is very active by nature and is as willful as that guy from Deidara."

Nagato remembered something.

"you mean……"

"Forget it, let's not worry about the Eight-Tails Jinchuuriki for the time being. With how active the opponent is, it's not that simple to pinpoint the specific location. When the war starts, he will naturally show up obediently, and I will take action myself.

We will not give him another chance to escape. The most important thing now is to appease the emotions of the people in the country. Since the Kingdom of Ghosts forces us to stand in front of the stage in advance, it is no longer possible to escape. We must be prepared to go to war at any time.

"

Nagato sighed.

If he hadn't been forced to take action in advance, he wouldn't have taken action against the four tailed beasts without being completely sure.

Since he did it himself, he was bound to win the three and six tails.

But when it comes to dealing with the Eight-Tails and Nine-Tails, the forces deployed carry great risks.

And the results also prove this.

In particular, the Kingdom of Ghosts also likes to cause trouble, which gives him a huge headache.

Even though he has countless White Zetsus assisting him, those who assist the Demon Country are countless people from the ninja world. Maybe if you just wander around the small country, you can catch a lot of such people.

This means that the information channels controlled by the Ghost Country are far more flexible and faster than all organizations and countries.

Perhaps such infiltration power has already affected high-level officials in many countries.

"I understand. While you are sealing the tailed beasts, I will always pay attention to the situation in these villages in Konoha."

Konan, who was far away in Amegakure, said that he would pay close attention to the movements of various countries in the ninja world.

"Excuse me, if nothing else happens, these villages, after being pushed to the critical point by us, will probably start talks and invest some of the White Zetsu into the Iron Kingdom. It is the most powerful neutral country in the ninja world. The big powers want to

Whatever needs to be discussed, it usually happens there.”

The Iron Kingdom, which was founded by warriors, is not weak in strength.

Coupled with its neutral status, it is undoubtedly the best platform for major powers to discuss important matters.

After saying that, Nagato ended the call with Konan.

Watching the chakra of the Three-Tails and Six-Tails continue to be transported into the body of the Outer Demon Statue, at this rate, the sealing work can be completed in one or two days.

As the power of the ten tails slowly awakens, the time and chakra needed to seal the tailed beasts will be greatly reduced, which saves him a lot of trouble.

Five Shadows Conference.

Such invitation letters suddenly began to flow among the ninja villages under the rule of the great powers.

As the fifth Hokage of Konoha, Tsunade also received invitation letters from Iwagakure and Kumogakure at the first time.

It was later confirmed that the meeting would be officially held on the 27th of this month in the neutral country of Iron Country. Also attending the meeting with the Five Shadows was the Minister of Military Affairs of the Demon Country's military.

Tsunade and Shikaku, who was responsible for making suggestions, were not surprised by such an invitation.

Akatsuki's exposed power is no longer a thorny issue that a single ninja village can solve.

Moreover, this organization covets the tailed beasts of other countries. If it wants to eradicate such enemies, it must form a military alliance to solve the problem once and for all before it completely deteriorates.

This is the only theme of this Five Shadows Conference.

Although there is still some preparation time before the departure, Tsunade has already begun the screening of participants.

In addition to ANBU, outstanding Jonin will also be selected from the village to go to the Kingdom of Iron together.

"By the way, take Naruto with you when the time comes. I'm very worried that when I go to the Land of Iron to attend the Five Shadows Conference, Konoha will be attacked again because of Naruto. Move Naruto away from Konoha, then

Even if you encounter an encounter, you can escape quickly."

After careful consideration, Tsunade put forward her own opinions on Shikaku.

"Is that so? Then, let's add Naruto to the list."

Shikaku also thought about it for a moment and thought that Tsunade's consideration was more comprehensive.

With Naruto's current strength, even if he encounters an enemy that he cannot deal with outside, it is not a problem to escape alone.

If it were in Konoha, it would be a restriction.

Moreover, bringing Naruto to the Five Kage Conference means that Naruto's status as a Jinchuuriki will be jointly protected by the Five Kage.

Because the threat of the Akatsuki organization is no longer directed at a certain country or a certain shinobi village, but wants to trample on the dignity of all major powers, which is tantamount to forcing all major powers to oppose themselves. For this reason, the alliance between major powers has emerged.

took shape.
