Chapter 326 The Allied Forces of Rain Ninja and Sand Ninja
“What terrifying power. You continue searching for Yahiko and the others. I will pass the information to the main body.”
While the Konoha ninja were resting, on a hill to their northeast, Yahiko's shadow clones watched the process of Chibaku Tensei. One of them immediately disappeared, and the others scattered to search for Yahiko and the others.
Behind a hillside, Mi Shou and his companions had just finished treating their injuries and were now sitting on the ground recovering their strength.
Suddenly, Misato received the information transmitted by his shadow clone, immediately stood up, jumped up the hillside, and looked towards the southern sky.
Sure enough, we saw a huge sphere.
Under the moonlight, one side of the sphere emitted a halo of light, while the other side was almost completely hidden in darkness, creating a mysterious and beautiful effect.
Orochimaru, Tekka, and Kakuzu noticed Yasuke's movements and, thinking an enemy had appeared, jumped up the hillside and looked south. They all showed expressions of shock.
Before they could speak, Mi Shou explained the situation first.
"This is a ninjutsu used by Nagato. When the leader and the others were fighting the Fourth Hokage, Konoha reinforcements appeared and surrounded the leader and the others. Nagato used this move to temporarily force back the pursuers."
Kakuzu said in a deep voice, "Legend has it that the Rinnegan has the power to create worlds, and perhaps that's true."
Orochimaru chuckled softly but remained silent.
In order to study the secret techniques, he searched for and examined many hidden scrolls. Some of the contents of the scrolls were true, and some were false. However, he was certain that this world was not created by the Sage of Six Paths.
Even so, the power of the Rinnegan is undeniable, and I really want to get it as soon as possible.
However, now is not the time.
Orochimaru tried his best to suppress his greed.
Of the group, Tiehuo was the most spirited.
His Sharingan will one day evolve into the Rinnegan, at which time he will master this powerful force.
As everyone was preoccupied with their own thoughts, Mi Shou received another message from his shadow clone.
"My shadow clone has spotted the leader's trail. Let's hurry and meet him."
A dozen minutes later, the two groups reunited and headed toward the northern border.
Over the next day, they were not intercepted by the Konoha ninja and returned to the Land of Rain smoothly, where they met Konan and her Rain Ninja forces.
"Finally safe."
Back at the camp, Kakuzu breathed a sigh of relief.
He now only has his heart left, which was damaged in the battle, but he can finally receive proper treatment.
Yahiko's expression remained serious: "Konoha will definitely not let this go. We must prepare to fight."
Xiao Nan then delivered some good news.
"The reinforcements led by Fengying will arrive here tomorrow morning."
Tie Huo looked down on the new Kazekage and scoffed, "The Kazekage is not strong enough; we still have to rely on our own strength."
Upon hearing Tetsuka belittle the Kazekage, Orochimaru, Sasori, and Mikami all nodded slightly, seemingly in agreement.
The Third Kazekage was so strong, but we still managed to take him down.
The current Fengying was able to rise to power thanks to our support.
Upon seeing this, Yahiko immediately reprimanded him.
"The Wind Shadow is our ally, and we should be grateful for his full support this time. Such words that are detrimental to unity must not be said again. This is my order."
After giving a reprimand, Yahiko told everyone to go and rest, except for Nagato and Konan who stayed behind.
Yahiko recounted the events of his trip and expressed his doubts about Danzo.
Konan said coldly, "I've long suspected Danzo's motives; this might be his conspiracy."
Nagato asked, "Should we leak this information to Konoha?"
Yahiko slowly shook his head: "We are enemies now. Konoha will not believe our intelligence. Let's deal with the current war first. Nagato, you once said that you could split the Nine-Tails in two. Perhaps this time you will have to return one half of the Nine-Tails to Konoha."
Nagato reassured Yahiko, "Don't worry, as long as you have a portion of the tailed beast's chakra, you can still activate the Gedo Mazo. This is actually a good thing. The Complete Gedo Mazo, which absorbs all the tailed beast's chakra, is too terrifying. I'm not confident I can control it."
The next day, Sensuke and the Sand Ninja arrived at the camp, travel-worn, and were immediately summoned to a meeting by Yahiko.
After arranging his subordinates, Sensuke, along with Atsushi Ito and Katsuhira, followed Yahiko into the conference room.
Inside the meeting room, there were three members of the Akatsuki organization: Yahiko, Nagato, and Orochimaru.
Xiao Nan was organizing the defense and couldn't come at all. The others were either seriously injured and receiving treatment or were not interested in commanding the battle, so none of them showed up.
Orochimaru was also recuperating, but Yahiko believed that Orochimaru had command experience and understood the situation in Konoha, so he took the initiative to invite Orochimaru to come and serve as an advisor.
"Leader Yahiko, I never expected that you would actually take the Nine-Tails from Konoha. This will surely shock the entire ninja world."
Chisuke first offered his congratulations, then his expression turned serious.
"Konoha will definitely not let this go after losing the Nine-Tails. How do you plan to deal with it?"
Yahiko gave a wry smile: "I'm also having a headache over this. If it weren't for Lord Kazekage leading troops to support us, we would have surrendered immediately."
you fart!
Seeing Yahiko playing the victim, Chisuke couldn't help but curse inwardly.
That's not what you said, Yahiko. I never thought you'd learn to lie too.
Chisuke turned to Orochimaru and asked.
"Mr. Orochimaru is resourceful and knows Konoha very well. I wonder if he has any suggestions?"
Orochimaru looked at Sensuke, feeling a mix of emotions.
During the war between Sunagakure and Konoha, the two were enemies, but now they are allies.
"The Nine-Tails Jinchuriki is the wife of the Fourth Hokage, and the Nine-Tails is an important fighting force for Konoha. Therefore, whether for personal feelings or for the benefit of Konoha, they will definitely be determined to take back the Nine-Tails."
Orochimaru first explained the current situation.
"Given Konoha's current situation, the number of ninjas they can use to deal with us is around four thousand. The combined forces of Amegakure and Sunagakure also have about four thousand, so the numbers are roughly equal. However, Amegakure and Sunagakure have both experienced civil wars and lost a large number of elites, so their ninja strength is generally inferior to that of Konoha. Therefore, Konoha's combat power is superior."
"Moreover, there are powerful forces in the ninja world such as Iwagakure, Kumogakure, and Kirigakure. If we break out into a major war with Konoha and it drags on for a long time, they will definitely take action, which will introduce many variables. Therefore, we must resolve the problem as soon as possible."
After listening to Orochimaru's explanation, Chisuke couldn't help but praise him.
"After listening to Mr. Orochimaru's words, I have a clear understanding of the current situation. I think we should try to make peace through fighting, but I don't know what specific actions to take."
Yahiko smiled and said, "I completely agree with the Kazekage's strategy; it's best to avoid a full-scale war."
Orochimaru then continued, "The Third and Fourth Hokage care deeply about the lives of their subordinates. We can first adopt a posture of fighting to the death, then explain the advantages and disadvantages to them, and propose to resolve the conflict through a duel. There is a certain probability that they will agree."
"Great idea! But I wonder who we should send as the persuader?"
Chisuke raised a crucial question.
Being a lobbyist is no easy task. Not only is it dangerous, but you also have to persuade the other side to agree to your plan amidst the criticism from the people of Konoha.
Who should go?
