Chapter 296 The Akatsuki Organization, the Focus of the Ninja World?
"Akatsuki launches a frontal attack on Iwagakure; Tsuchikage Ōnoki is killed in battle!"
When Tsunade and Hiruzen Sarutobi looked at the intelligence sent from Iwagakure, both Tsunade and Hiruzen Sarutobi, as well as Homura Mitokado on the other side, looked at each other with horror and disbelief.
The intelligence they possessed was extremely detailed, so detailed that it included information about the Akatsuki leader's ability to use gravity and repulsion. It also noted that Onoki of the Two Scales had used Earth Release to forcibly move the location of Iwagakure six kilometers eastward!
Even so, the death toll in Iwagakure still reached over a thousand!
"According to our scouts, it seems that Iwagakure (Hidden Stone Village) isn't planning to hide the news?"
"Not only that, the Fourth Tsuchikage, Kyoto, is even preparing to send invitations to all the Kage of the Five Great Nations, inviting us to attend Onoki's funeral, and to hold a meeting regarding the Akatsuki organization—"
Hiruzen Sarutobi stared blankly at the intelligence report in his hand. He had thought that Izumi Uchiha was already brave enough, but he never expected that there would be someone even braver than Izumi Uchiha in the ninja world.
And when that guy made his move, he went straight for the destruction of the village!
Most importantly, if Onoki hadn't risked his life to protect Iwagakure, he probably would have succeeded.
"What on earth is wrong with this ninja world?"
"Why are these exceptionally powerful individuals appearing one after another?"
Mitokado Homura began to ponder what exactly was going on in this ninja world. He remembered that ninjas weren't like this before.
Even Jonin, despite possessing various powerful ninjutsu, are still limited by chakra. The fact that the Third Raikage A fought against tens of thousands of ninjas from the Land of Earth on the battlefield is enough to keep the ninja world talking for many years.
Why is it that after Uchiha Izumi appeared, the entire ninja world is constantly seeing one person fighting against an entire village?
You're going to destroy the ninja world by doing this!
"Akatsuki Organization —"
"The Akatsuki!"
Tsunade muttered about the Akatsuki organization. She felt the person mentioned in the intelligence report from Iwagakure looked vaguely familiar, but Tsunade had met far too many people in her life—after all, she had far too many creditors.
"Do you want to participate?"
"Regardless of where this Akatsuki organization came from, this act of directly declaring war on the village has violated the core interests of the Five Great Nations!"
Hiruzen Sarutobi looked at Tsunade; she was now the Hokage and had real decision-making power.
There is a special tacit understanding among the five great nations of the ninja world.
Because the resources of the ninja world are limited, the five great nations will basically not allow any other country to rise. The Second Shinobi World War was also caused by Hanzo of the Salamander wanting the Land of Rain to become the sixth great nation.
The Akatsuki's actions have undoubtedly violated the tacit understanding between the five great nations.
"join!"
"Regardless of what Akatsuki's purpose is, we in Konoha must obtain more information about them."
"If the Akatsuki organization were to launch this attack on the village while Izumi was away, we might not be able to do much better than Onoki of the Two Scales!"
Tsunade wasn't concerned about the tacit understanding among the five great nations; she was more concerned about what to do if the Akatsuki attacked Konoha.
"that----"
"Actually, I had some information before, but it's been stuck with me because of the Hokage change."
Mitokado Homura, who has little presence in the public eye, said that some special information had been delivered to him because of the Hokage reshuffle.
"According to the report from the group of Konoha ninjas who went to the Land of Water, Izumi Ike has fought against the Akatsuki organization."
"They even encountered ninjas from the Land of Earth at the battlefield ruins. According to their intelligence, it seems that the Land of Earth hired the Akatsuki to assassinate Ikezumi, but the attempt failed."
"So, there might be more to the story between the Land of Earth and the Akatsuki?"
Mitokado Homura gave his intelligence report to Tsunade. After Tsunade and Hiruzen Sarutobi read it, they both looked at each other in bewilderment.
According to the ninjas who supported the construction of the Land of Water, the Land of Earth and the Akatsuki organization were inseparable.
So if they were so close, why did they suddenly start fighting?
No one would have imagined that the Land of Earth suffered such a devastating war because someone embezzled 250 million. After Huang Tu took over, he directly led Deidara to make the Iwagakure ninja understand what money they should and shouldn't take!
Whether it was Deidara or Yotsu, they both felt that Onoki's death was truly unjust!
Onoki's life had already been fetched over 700 million on the black market, equivalent to more than twenty Sarutobi Asumas.
If you say the Akatsuki organization was greedy, then they left Onoki's body to Iwagakure. But if you say the Akatsuki organization wasn't greedy, then Onoki's death was truly unjust!
In fact, Kakuzu had already been heartbroken at the Akatsuki base. He had never thought of killing the Kage of the Five Great Nations before, so he hadn't paid much attention to the bounty on Tsuchikage Onoki.
On his second day back in Akatsuki, Kakuzu, having nothing to do, went to collect a bounty. He glanced curiously at Onoki's bounty, abandoned his own mission, and returned to the base to beg Pain to make another trip to Iwagakure.
That's seven hundred million!
A whopping 700 million!
Others might joke about making a mistake of 100 million, but he actually made a real mistake of 700 million!
Those seven hundred million were so close to him, so close that he could have reached out and grabbed them, so why didn't he take them?
"Actually, we were too high-profile this time, which is not in line with the style of our Akatsuki organization."
Konan sighed. She could almost foresee that the entire ninja world was probably in an uproar because of the Akatsuki organization.
"No, even if we don't make a big fuss, we will still be noticed by the entire ninja world once the information about the Akatsuki's battle with Uchiha Izumi is leaked."
"Right now, we've just prematurely revealed some of our strength."
"But this isn't necessarily a bad thing for our Akatsuki organization. After all, a strong reputation is quite useful for recruiting new members."
Payne shook his head. What Xiao Nan said made a lot of sense, but he didn't want to listen.
Not for any other reason than that after the battle in Iwagakure, Nagato felt that the anger in his heart had dissipated considerably.
As for any resentment—
That was naturally the pent-up frustration of the Akatsuki organization being utterly defeated by Uchiha Ikezumi despite mobilizing the entire organization.
"Speaking of which, what about that Uchiha who called himself Madara, and Black Zetsu and White Zetsu?"
"The news from the Land of Earth has already spread throughout the entire ninja world. Even if they went to some remote place, they should have received some information by now, right?"
Pain looked at Kakuzu and Sasori, trying to get information about Obito Uchiha and Black Zetsu from them.
Kakuzu and Sasori looked at each other and shook their heads.
