On the tallest tower in Yuyin Village, Payne was still sitting in front of a collapsed wall hole on the top of the tower, looking at the rainy scene in the distance without saying a word.
Xiaonan slowly walked out of the shadows behind him: "Penn, there is contact from Yanyin Village."
Payne did not look back, still looking at Yujing: "[Yuhu Free Technique] sensed that a powerful [insect] invaded Yuyin Village. Was it sent by Shangliu Diaz?"
"Yes. It claims to represent the fourth generation Tsuchikage Kamisui Diaz and came to discuss cooperation with [Akatsuki]."
"Let it come to me."
Not long after, a rustling sound came from the darkness behind Xiao Nan, and then the spike beast appeared not far behind Payne. There were more than a dozen detonating charms attached to its body. As long as Xiao Nan had a thought, he could immediately
Blast it to pieces.
"This is our first meeting, Lord Payne. You can call me Spike Beast, I am..."
"I'm not interested in your name at all, nor do I care how you found Yuyin Village."
Payne turned his head slightly to look at the spiked beast, the purple ripples in his eyes bringing a great sense of oppression:
"Tell me, what does Diaz want to do?"
"The Fourth Tsuchikage-sama hopes to cooperate with [Akatsuki], just like the employment relationship the Third Tsuchikage Onoki had with you."
Pain chuckled: "Oh, Ohnoki even told him this. It seems that the position of [Tsuchikage] was not obtained through violence and conspiracy. But now [Akatsuki] no longer intends to continue to serve as a mercenary.
You’ve got money, get out of here.”
The spiked beast was unhurried: "Lord Pain, why don't you give me one more minute. I can explain the interests to you. I believe the reward that the Fourth Tsuchikage is about to pay will satisfy you."
"oh?"
Payne seemed to finally have some interest. He stood up and turned to look at the spike beast:
"Say it, I'm listening."
…………………………
Konoha, Naruto and Sasuke were wearing green chuunin vests, standing nervously on the rooftop of the Hokage building. Konoha put on the sports myopia glasses given to her by Kuzan, and her red hair was tied into a ponytail.
Suzan and Kaidou were standing a little further away on the rooftop, checking their belongings.
The plan has been made. First, the Konoha troops will engage in a firefight with the Kumogakure ninja troops in the Country of Yu to attract attention. Kuzan and others will use the flying ability after Kaidou transformed into a dragon to directly invade the sky above Kumogakure and attack Kumogakure.
Launch a raid.
Now Kumogakure has lost two thousand elite ninjas, the mobile maritime fortress Turtle Island and the Eight-Tailed Jinchuuriki Kirabi. It is a period of weakness.
The Nine-Tailed Jinchuuriki, the Seven-Tailed Jinchuuriki, the Hyakuju Kaido whose strength surpasses the tailed beasts, and the 'ninja world's most speedy' fifth-generation Hokage Uchiha who can overpower the three tailed beasts. The number of people seems small, but they are definitely ninjas.
The top class of strength in the world.<
Even Zuosuke, the weakest among them, has the strength to rival a Jonin, and he also received the "Ninja Eagle" psychic contract from Kuzan, which greatly enhanced his mobility.
Although the village elders had objections to Suzan taking away all the two jinchūriki, considering the strength of Suzan and Kaidou, they must have been able to bring Sasuke and others back safely, so they didn't say anything more.
Just when everyone was ready to set off, an ANBU suddenly rushed to the rooftop and shouted: "Hokage-sama! There is urgent information!"
The raid against Kumogakure was temporarily put on hold because a series of actions by the enemy alliance caught Konoha off guard.
Sand Hidden Village dispatched all the puppet master troops and the Red Sand Team. The latter is the most elite unit in Sand Hidden Village and is directly under the Kazekage of all generations. Now that the Kazekage and the acting Kazekage are all dead, they have also separated from their status as directly affiliated troops.
Come out and cooperate with the Puppet Master troops as a ninja of Sunagakure Village to invade the country of Kawakawa.
Also operating with Sunagakure Village is the Five-Tailed Jinchuuriki "Steam Ninja Han".
Danzo and the Root troops he led were caught off guard and were surrounded, and all the Root troops were destroyed. Before Danzo died, he destroyed his right eye and took away more than forty Sunagakure ninjas with the "Uri Four Elephants Seal".
On that day, the Fire Temple was lost, and the western border of the Fire Country was in danger.
At the same time, Kumogakure Village mobilized more than 4,000 ninjas. Under the leadership of the Fifth Raikage Quantaro, they quickly captured the Kingdom of Frost and began to attack the Konoha garrison stationed in the Kingdom of Yu.
On the other hand, Kusanagi Village suddenly announced with a high profile that it would join the Great Ninja War as an ally of Iwagakure Village and launch an attack on the Konoha troops stationed at the ruins of Takigakure Village.
On the same day, Yuyin Village also announced that it would become an ally of Iwagakure Village, and cooperated with Iwagakure Village's large forces to raid the northwest border of the Land of Fire.
For a time, Konoha's situation became extremely critical.
"They had planned this!"
Peng! Mitomonyan punched the table and yelled angrily.
Kaidou put his feet up on the edge of the table and rocked the chair: "In this case, even if they go to Yunyin Village to launch an attack, I'm afraid the other party will only use a strategy of changing the family."
"They plan to spread Konoha's combat power through multi-front operations."
Hokage Assistant Nara Shikaku pointed to the mark on the big map with a serious look on his face:
"Kusagakure Village has clearly promised to remain neutral, but suddenly announced its support for Iwagakure Village in a high-profile manner. There must be something fishy about this. Also, Amegakure Village has been isolated from the world under Hanzo's rule, and now it may suddenly change its attitude.
It's because there has been a very complete change of high-level power in their country, which is what Hokage-sama has said about [Akatsuki]."
"In order to save military expenses, Onoki has hired the Akatsuki organization many times before. Presumably the new fourth-generation Tsuchikage Kamisui Diaz got the method of contacting Akatsuki from Onoki."
Su Zhan sat behind his desk, tapping his fingers on the table:
"Kumogakure lost two thousand ninjas and his biggest trump card, the Eight-Tails Jinchuuriki. Now Iwagakure's strength is equal to Kumogakure, which has actually led to a true alliance between the two countries. As for Kusagakure Village, it is just cannon fodder."
"Where is Sunagakure Village?" Kaidou tilted his head.
Suzan shook his head: "Bigger cannon fodder. But I have to say that the five majors are the five majors. Even the Sunagakure Village, which is in such a state of decline, still has ninja troops that can surround and kill Danzo and Gen.
The most important thing to watch out for now is Amegakure Village. The [Akatsuki Organization] is full of S-class rebel ninjas. If these people unite together, they can win even if they face the military power of a country. In other words, Amegakure Village can now compete with Iwagakure
The village is on an equal footing with Kumogakure Village and is qualified to join the ranks of the ninja world's struggle for hegemony."
"If you continue to fight them, Konoha will definitely lose." Shikaku said with great certainty.
"I know, so Konoha is also gathering military strength."
Kuzhan pointed his finger on the big map and drew a big circle around Yanyin Village, Yuyin Village, Caoyin Village and Sand Hidden Village:
"The decisive battle will take place in the Country of Grass, and victory or defeat will be decided in one battle."
Shikaku expressed concern: "What should we do over there at Yunyin Village?"
Kaidou on the side suddenly laughed: "It's time to let Kirigakure, our ally, help!"
