The swaying oil lamp is hung on the wall, and the glass lampshade isolates the cold wind mixed with water vapor that blows in from the crack in the door. The wick in the middle is just burning there by itself, making a little popping sound from time to time, exuding
The light, which was not too bright, dispelled the slight darkness in the room.
Beside this huge round table, there are seven or eight figures sitting. Some figures are blurry, and only a few shadows can be seen. Their basic appearance and identity can be distinguished, and a few are really sitting there.
People in the conference room.
The leaders were three young people who didn't look very old.
These three young men were led by the orange-haired man in the middle.
If Toneri were here, he would definitely recognize that the three of them are the founders of the Akatsuki organization, Yahiko, Nagato and Konan.
However, at this time, the clothes they wore were no longer like the pitch-black robes from before. This time, their robes were embroidered with extremely bright red clouds.
"This is the next plan of our Akatsuki organization. Do you still have any doubts? If so, it's best to bring it up all at once now." Yahiko looks like a leader.
"So, what's the purpose of doing this? To save the world?"
The person who spoke was a shadowy figure. He could vaguely tell that he had a strong appearance, but his back was hunched over. His face was mostly covered by a mask and a bamboo hat on his head. Only his two eyes and ears could be seen.
It was a man's voice.
"Yes, this is the purpose of our Akatsuki organization, to save the world and bring true peace to the world, and to enable everyone in this world and everything they value to come back alive and reproduce!
It is for this lofty ideal that all of you here gather here and work hard for our common ideal.
The first thing to do next is also the most important thing. I hope you can pay attention to it." Yahiko's eyes looked fanatical, as if the truly peaceful world he talked about was coming!
The hunchbacked man looked at the woman sitting next to him and said nothing.
"Now we have completed two of them. I hope you can complete the tasks assigned to you as soon as possible. After all, time is not on our side." Yahiko continued.
"I have handed over the location of the target to you all." The voice sounded a little hoarse, and the person who spoke was a person shrouded in a plant like Jade Dragon Grass, it was Jue.
"You three should be careful yourselves." Another person said, and it could be vaguely seen from the shadow that he was carrying a huge Kannin slung across his back.
As soon as he finished speaking, Nagato, who was sitting next to Yahiko, suddenly stood up, looked out the door, and said calmly: "No need, the other party is already here."
Hearing this, the expressions of everyone around the round table changed, and a man who was originally hiding in the shadows of the corner also walked out.
"That's almost it. It's not the time to collide with him yet." The person who spoke wore an orange spiral mask with one right eye exposed. With this appearance, he was undoubtedly Uchiha Obito.
Nagato glanced at him and frowned slightly, "I don't need to be afraid of him now."
After hearing his words, Uchiha Obito's only exposed eye, the Mangekyō Sharingan, immediately opened and said in a deep voice: "Now! It's definitely not the time to contact him! Everything should be based on planning!"
Yahiko, who was sitting in the front seat, suddenly stood up, patted Nagato's shoulder gently, and said: "Nagato, it is true that we are not in contact with him yet, and your abilities have not been fully stimulated. There is no need to interact with him.
He hit hard."
It is useless for others to speak, but this time it is Yahiko, who is the only bridge to peace in the ninja world in Nagato's heart. Nagato will still listen to his words.
Nodding, "I understand!"
Yahiko patted his shoulder again, and immediately said to Uchiha Obito: "Senior, please."
Because of the mask, Obito's face could not be seen at this time, but as Yahiko's words fell, spiral space fluctuations appeared from Obito's right eye, absorbing the three people.
Seeing the disappearance of Yahiko and the others, the shadows around the round table also disappeared one by one. In the end, only Zetsu and Uchiha Obito were left.
"Obito, it seems that if you want to control Nagato, you still have to control Yahiko first, thanks to the tips he gave us." Black Zetsu said slowly.
Obito glanced at him, nodded and said lightly, "It's best to move faster. I don't want to stay in this dirty and filthy world for another second."
As he said that, his figure slowly disappeared.
"I also want to hurry up. I have waited too long for this opportunity... too long..."
After everyone disappeared, only the oil lamp was left, still playing its role.
...
Just outside Yuyin Village and not far into Yuyin Village, Toneri suddenly stopped.
He stretched out his hand and caught some rainwater falling from the sky.
His eyes narrowed, "The chakra is so weak that I can almost feel it, the Rain Tiger Free Technique... Nagato, you really make me worry."
With that said, he accelerated into Yuyin Village and went straight to the tallest building in the area managed by the Akatsuki organization.
The ordinary members of the Akatsuki organization who came up to stop him were all knocked down by him in one fell swoop.
After a while, he entered the conference room where Yahiko and the others had a meeting.
When Toneri arrived and opened the door and walked in, he only saw the huge conference table and the only old oil lamp that emitted light in the entire room.
At this time, the light emitted from the oil lamp was very weak, and the amount of oil in the lamp was not very large.
Coming here with Toneri, there were several other root members waiting at the door.
Toneri walked slowly into the conference table, placed a finger gently on the conference table, then slowly moved his steps and walked around the entire conference table.
His eyes suddenly turned cold, and he said coldly to the root members outside the door: "Kill all members of the Akatsuki organization in Yuyin Village, or people who have connections with the Akatsuki organization!"
"yes!"
Upon receiving the order, the Root members outside the door dodged and scattered.
Today, it must be another day of panic for the Amegakure Village, which has finally recovered from the Third Ninja War.
Toneri came to where Yahiko and Nagato were just now, and space fluctuations appeared in his left eye.
When he reappeared, he was already in a cave outside Yuyin Village.
"You learned the lesson this time, Obito." Toneri said to himself.
The Akatsuki organization still fell into the control of Obito and Black Zetsu, which was somewhat unexpected by Toneri.
But actually thinking about it carefully, it seems that as long as you know where Nagato's weaknesses are, it's not that difficult to control him... right?
"Now that you have started, I won't be polite."
Yuyin Village is once again facing a bloodbath.
It's just such a thing, but it's not a big deal to the entire ninja world.
The only ones who would be happy may be the two small countries that are in contact with the Country of Rain and the small hidden villages in their countries, such as the Kusakure Village of the Country of Grass, or the Kawakaku Village of the Country of Kawa.
There is no need to worry about Yuyin Village, a hidden village that is superior to other small countries, threatening their existence.
The glorious period of Amegakure Village created by the former demigod Sanshouyu Hanzo has officially ended.
Although they were unable to see Nagato and others in the Rain Country this time, Toneri was certain of one thing.
That is, his opponent is still only the Akatsuki organization.
It is said that the unknown enemy is the most terrifying. Now that the identity of the enemy has been determined in this operation, Sheren also has a series of countermeasures.
I was originally worried that Uchiha Madara had been resurrected, but now it seems that either Black Zetsu felt that the time had not come yet and did not let Uchiha Madara appear, or Uchiha Obito was already at odds with Black Zetsu, and he also
I don’t want Uchiha Madara to be resurrected during this time period.
Since Uchiha Madara's plan is the Infinite Tsukuyomi, from Obito's point of view, even without Uchiha Madara, with his current ability, he can still perform the Infinite Tsukuyomi.
Therefore, it doesn't seem to matter much whether Uchiha Madara is resurrected or not.
After taking Yuyin Village completely under his control once again, Toneri issued another order to Genbe.
Find the location of each Jinchuuriki in the entire ninja world at this time, and determine whether they are safe at this moment.
What needs special attention is the Seven-Tailed Jinchuuriki, which is also the only tailed beast that Toneri lacks so far in terms of power and chakra.
After explaining this, he went to the Kingdom of Wind alone and headed to Sand Hidden Village.
I have been to the Kingdom of Wind many times, but this is the first time Toneri has been close to Sand Hidden Village.
As a large hidden village located in the boundless desert, Sand Hidden Village has a very special geographical location.
Most people who want to enter Sand Hidden Village have to either fly over from the sky, or they can only walk through the special gate of Sand Hidden Village.
However, since Luo Sha invited him here, Toneri would naturally not enter Sunagakure Village through some unfriendly methods.
When he arrived outside Sunagakure Village, the gold mining team of Sunagakure Village controlled by Rasa "just in time" completed the mission and returned to Sunagakure Village, so Toneri directly entered the desert camel cart that Rasa was riding.
In order to enter Sunagakure Village, it did not attract the attention of many residents of Sunagakure Village.
As Toneri is now the Fourth Hokage of Konoha, when he comes to Sunagakure Village, I am afraid that not only will he not receive any welcome, but he will also be spurned by many residents of Sunagakure Village.
After all, after the end of the Third Ninja War, Sunagakure Village has confirmed the fact that it is the loser, and has to hand over a large number of tasks to Konoha every year, making the economy of Sunagakure Village, which was already stretched, become
Adding insult to injury.
If their fourth-generation Kazekage Rasa hadn't been quite proficient in the use of magnetic escape gold sand, and could retrieve a large amount of gold sand from the vast desert to replenish the finances of Sand Hidden Village, I'm afraid this would have been constantly criticized by the great names of the Land of Wind.
Sunagakure Village's strength is about to decline due to cuts in funding.
But even so, in order to bear the huge responsibility of provoking and defeating the Third Ninja World War, Chiyo's mother-in-law, who was the wife of the original Kazekage of Sunagakure Village and the first elder of Sunagakure Village, resigned, so that these Sunagakure people were not allowed to
The residents of the hidden village once again pointed the finger at their own people.
It was precisely because of Chiyo's loneliness that Rasa was able to defy public opinion and sign an offensive and defensive alliance treaty with Konoha.
Chiyo also knew about Rasa's choice, but when she was sure that it was really his grandson, the Red Sand Scorpion, who killed the third Kazekage, she gave up on taking over Sunagakure Village again.
I built a small pond, raised a few fish, and lived a leisurely life of fishing and raising fish every day.
Overall, Konoha's reputation in Sunagakure Village is still not very good at the moment.
However, Rasa cannot allow the residents of Sunagakure Village to provoke Toneri wantonly, otherwise it may be their Sunagakure Village that suffers in the end.
Sitting in the Kazekage carriage pulled by camels, looking at the Sunagakure Village outside through the gap in the carriage, Toneri had a smile on his face.
Among the several major hidden villages he has seen, whether it is Cloud Hidden Village, Kirigakure Village or Sand Hidden Village, the prosperity level cannot be compared with Konoha, or even half of Konoha.
"Siren-kun, why are you so happy? You've always had a smile on your face after entering Sand Hidden Village." Luo Sha couldn't help but ask.
Shiren's expression calmed down slightly, looking at Luo Sha who didn't dare to look into his eyes, he was considering whether to tell the truth.
Could it be that he just told him that it was because he saw Sunagakure Village and thought of Konoha that he felt very superior?
Without comparison, there is never any harm?
Thinking that reality is too cruel, it is better to save some face for Luo Sha.
"I saw that even though the residents of Sunagakure Village were in a hurry, I could still see some stability and stability in their eyes. It can be seen that after this war is over, the lives of the residents of Sunagakure Village have also become better.
Get up."
Luo Sa nodded with empathy, "As expected of Hokage, the perspective of looking at things is different. I thought you would say that our Sunagakure Village is not as good as your Konoha, haha..."
"Ahem, Rasa, you are overthinking. How could I be such a person? I am here this time not only to help you stabilize the seal of One-Tail, but also to follow you as the fourth Hokage of Konoha.
Discuss something." Shiren coughed twice to hide his embarrassment, but Luo Sha almost saw through.
"Oh? I don't know what it is? Can't I say it during the Chunin Examination?"
Toneri slowly shook his head, "Let's take a look at Ichibi's seal first."
"That's fine!"
After saying that, the two of them said nothing more and just sat quietly in the carriage, driving slowly towards Luo Sha's house.
After a while, we arrived at the Luosha house located in the central area of Sand Hidden Village.
The two entered quietly, and two brats rushed up to them. One was a boy with a tiger-like face, with some purple paint on his face, and the other was a girl with long blond hair, looking a bit like a doll.
, maybe because he played with this tough-headed boy too much, and his personality is a bit carefree.
"Father, you are back!"
The two children rushed forward together, and a rare kind smile appeared on Luo Sha's serious face.
He rubbed the heads of the two children and introduced to Toneri with a smile: "Tonero-kun, these are my two children. The boy's name is Kankuro, and the girl's name is Temari."
With that, he said to Kankuro and Temari: "This is dad's friend. Please call Toneri uncle..."
He was immediately interrupted by Toneri, "Don't call me uncle, call me brother."
Kankuro and Temari looked at each other, rolled their eyes, and immediately showed sweet smiles and shouted: "Toneri-nii."
Then, she looked at him with hopeful little eyes.
"Haha - Luo Sha, your two children are really... so cute. They are completely different from your stereotyped look."
As he spoke, Toneri opened his palms, and two seeds appeared in his hands. Then, under his urging, the two seeds turned into two flowers.
Seeing this scene, not only Kankuro and Temari's eyes lit up, but also Rasa's eyes lit up. A rather bold idea suddenly appeared in his mind.
"I'll give these two flowers to you." Shiren smiled and sent the two flowers to the two of them.
"Thank you, Brother Toneri!"
It is relatively rare to see two such beautiful flowers in Sunagakure Village where there are very few plants.
So Kankuro and Temari are really happy.
But soon Temari grabbed Toneri's trouser leg and said, "Toneri brother, we have a younger brother, can you give him one as well?"
As he spoke, his two little eyes were still flickering, full of longing. Kankuro beside him finally remembered that he had a younger brother.
Hearing his words, Sheren and Luo Sha were stunned.
Immediately, Toneri smiled, once again produced a flower from his palm, and handed it to Temari's hand.
Temari immediately thanked her sweetly again, pulled Kankuro along, and the two of them quickly ran upstairs with their short legs.
"Luo Shajun, your two children are so cute."
Luo Sha stood there in silence for a while.
This is actually not what he wants to see. The more harmonious the relationship between Temari and Kankuro is with Gaara, the less satisfied he will be.
In his opinion, if Gaara wants to truly master the power of the One-Tailed Shukaku, then the only thing that can allow him to possess this power is hatred!
Hatred is the driving force of all power, and hatred can also make Gaara immune to a certain extent from the erosion of Ichibi Shukaku's chakra full of hate.
So in this case, family affection is no longer what Gaara needs.
Fortunately for him, Gaara is still immature and he still has time to block his family path personally.
Starting from today, Gaara's place of residence will be changed to another place.
His uncle's family, Yashamaru, the biological brother of Rasa's wife Garuru, can not only take care of the young Gaara, but also become the best tool to destroy his extravagant hopes for all family ties.
I made this decision silently in my heart.
In response to Shiren's words, he just nodded silently.
He immediately led him towards Gaara's residence upstairs.
