Chapter 236: Eliminating Akatsuki is my Purpose in Coming to Konoha!
When Uehara followed Team 7 into Konoha, the village was surrounded by scouts, patrolling the surrounding area of several kilometers.
This was because, in recent times, Akatsuki’s organization had destroyed two big country great ninja villages in succession, causing the atmosphere in Konoha to suddenly become tense. They were afraid that Akatsuki would directly break into the surroundings of Konoha, and even Uehara saw the anti-air weapons set up on the walls of Konoha.
Kirigakure and Sunagakure were taught a deep lesson by the ancient dragon’s surprise attack, and Konoha was prepared in advance to avoid being caught unprepared.
Uehara looked at the strange defensive weapons and could not help but praise, “Konoha’s defense against Akatsuki’s invasion is perfect!”
“After all, Akatsuki has already destroyed two Big Country Great Ninja Village…”
Kakashi followed his gaze and sighed softly, “Right now, Barrier Team is on duty 24 hours a day in the village. Any fluctuation that enters the village will be transmitted to Hokage Building within ten seconds.”
“Truly amazing.”
Uehara nodded, not stinting to his praise, “Just in this aspect, Konoha is much stronger than us, Amegakure. As expected of the strongest Ninja Village in the world.”
Um, this information will be sent back later.
As a member of an evil organization that would attack Konoha in the future, it was amazing that they could openly watch the defensive measures of Konoha.
In addition to these defense and vigilance policies, Konoha did not relax their vigilance in the high-level combat power. Jiraiya, who had been out looking for the Son of Fate, was summoned by Tsunade and rushed back.
Guy, Lee, and others who were out on missions were also summoned back to the village, waiting to meet or encircle the Akatsuki organization.
Everyone thought that the decisive battle between Konoha and Akatsuki was about to begin.
The six members of Akatsuki were active in Country of Fire’s territory. They can’t just kill Chiriku and Asuma in exchange for the reward, right?
Inside Hokage building.
When Uehara came in, he found that the people who should have come had already arrived. Even the furthest Terumi had arrived early in Konoha.
Moreover, Terumi was wearing a hat that symbolized Mizukage’s position. After Akatsuki’s organization attacked, this woman inexplicably rose to this position.
Because after Kirigakure was attacked, the hearts of the people scattered. The higher-ups in Kirigakure finally gave the position of Fifth Mizukage to Terumi. This was also to ensure Terumi’s position in this conference.
After all, this conference was a real Three Kage Summit.
Sunagakure Fifth Kazekahe, Gaara.
Kirigakure Fifth Mizukage, Terumi Mei.
Konohagakure Fifth Hokage, Senju Tsunade.
When Uehara walked in, he was still a little uncomfortable because only he didn’t seem to have a position.
If he wanted these three Kage to shock them directly. He could just put on Akatsuki uniform, put on his own little ring, and reveal his identity as a member of Akatsuki…
Now, it felt like he was the subordinate of these three Kage.
Sure enough, as soon as Uehara entered, Tsunade, who was sitting at the head of the table, frowned and said unhappily, “Why is it you again? I thought that Hanzo would accept this invitation!”
“Hanzo -sama still has to guard against Akatsuki’s attack.”
Uehara shook his head and casually pulled a chair over to sit down, “If you don’t welcome me, I can leave now.”
“No, I don’t mean that at all.”
Tsunade shook her head and sighed, “I just think that a Ninja Demigod can play a greater role in our next plan.”
“Actually, Naraku-dono can do it too!”
Terumi turned to look at Uehara and winked at him. “I’m very happy to see Naraku-dono at this meeting.”
“Well, I am the same…”
Gaara replied in a neither light nor heavy tone.
It was a little awkward for Gaara to put on an enthusiastic attitude.
After all, Uehara always bullied him in the past, but it was still awkward for Gaara to put on an indifferent attitude. After all, Uehara had saved him some time ago.
“Well, since everyone is here, let me talk about the current situation first!”
Tsunade leaned against her chair and whispered, “Mizukage-dono suggested that we should launch an ambush against Akatsuki and capture more than one or more members of Akatsuki to obtain more information about them. But now, it seems that we have a more suitable opportunity.”
After Tsunade finished speaking, she turned to look at the Nara father and son standing at the door. She said in a deep voice, “More than six Akatsuki members have appeared in Country of Fire. This is something that our village’s Chunin Ninja Nara Shikamaru saw with his own eyes. He is an outstanding intelligent Ninja. Let him introduce the information of those people to you.”
“Yes, Hokage-sama.”
Shikamaru nodded and stood beside Tsunade with a calm face, “About three days ago, two members of Akatsuki’s organization, who should be called Kakuzu and Hidan, attacked the Fire Temple and killed Chiriku-sama, the leader of the Fire Temple.
After we got the news, we immediately went to capture these two members of Akatsuki, hoping to obtain information about Akatsuki after capturing them.
However, when we found their traces, we found that there were not only two people who infiltrated Country of Fire, but six members.”
When Shikamaru said this, he paused for a bit and continued softly, “Our team captain Asuma stay behind in order to cover us. Maybe was tortured then killed.
Because the information we received after Konoha attacked the bounty station confirmed that captain Asuma’s body had been exchanged for a bounty by an Akatsuki member named Kakuzu.
The person in charge of the bounty station said that there were many wounds on Asuma’s body. Only his face could be recognized. It was done so that it was convenient to confirm the identity of the body to receive the bounty, but we did not find the bodies of Captain Asuma and Chiriku-sama.”
Shikamaru’s fingers trembled a little. He suppressed his emotions and continued, “After many times of confirmation, the people who attacked the Fire Temple and killed Captain Asuma were all members of Akatsuki, at least six people.
Firstly, Uchiha Itachi, Konohagakure’s S-class traitor.
Second, Kakuzu, Takigakure’s S-class traitor.
Third, Hidan, Yugakure’s murdering demon.
Fourth, Hoshigaki Kisame, Kirigakure’s S-class traitor.
Fifth, Hozuki Mangetsu, Kirigakure’s S-class traitor.
And Six, Ameyuri Ringo, one of Kirigakure Seven Ninja Swordsmen.
The above report has been completed.”
After Shikamaru finished speaking, he took a step back, indicating that his mission had been completed, and the next thing to do was for the higher-ups to discuss.
Terumi glanced at Uehara but saw that Uehara was also watching. Her heart subconsciously jumped, and she took the initiative to explain, “Kisame and Mangetsu have defected for a long time. As for Ringo, she was kidnapped or recruited by Mangetsu. I will issue a wanted order about Ringo when I go back.”
This matter must be clarified first.
After the meeting ended, Terumi planned to talk to Uehara again. What exactly happened to Mangetsu? Did that guy really defect?
“Well…”
Tsunade pinched her chin, nodded, and continued softly, “This time, the six members of Akatsuki are active in Country of Fire. We guessed that this time, the enemy is likely to attack Konoha and seize the Kyuubi Jinchuriki.”
“This is the only reason.”
Gaara nodded calmly.
Akatsuki’s ambition for Bijuu was very clear. The Ichibi in his body was stripped away. If not for Chiyo, Gaara would have been buried in the soil.
Uehara nodded and continued, “Tsunade, do you want us to stay in Konoha to guard against Akatsuki’s surprise attack?”
“No, that’s not the case.”
Tsunade slowly held her palm and shouted, “We plan to use this opportunity when Akatsuki’s members sneak into Country of Fire and send a large group of people to attack!”
Everyone looked up at Tsunade in surprise. Obviously, they didn’t think that Tsunade could succeed. Now it was difficult to even defend Konoha, and she wanted to take the initiative to attack?
Was she crazy?
Gaara shook his head and retorted, “Tsunade-dono, I might need to remind you that when Akatsuki’s people appear to attack a Ninja Village, they will ride a terrifying Summoned Beast and fly in the air…”
“That’s right.”
Terumi’s face was also ugly. She looked at Tsunade and said seriously, “Tsunade-dono, what Kazekage-dono said makes sense. Akatsuki came and went without a trace. It is very difficult even to catch them.”
“…”
Tsunade’s face suddenly fell.
After all, what she wanted was to fight the enemy outside the village. If she fought with Akatsuki in Konoha, the losses would definitely be incalculable.
However, if she could fight with Akatsuki in the wilderness, she would be able to play the advantage of numbers to divide Akatsuki’s members and let the strong Ninjas fight.
Now that Terumi and Gaara refused to support her decision, Tsunade couldn’t help but feel uncomfortable. However, she had already decided on this plan. The reason why she mentioned it was to get the support of the two Kage and Uehara.
Uehara rubbed his forehead and whispered, “In fact, Tsunade’s plan is not impossible. If there is no mistake in Konoha’s information, it seems that the six members in the Country of Fire are not difficult to deal with, right?”
This was true.
After all, the three Seven Ninja Swordmen, the immortal duo, and the half-blind and half-sick Itachi. If you plan well, the chances of winning were very high.
Uehara tapped the table with his finger and continued softly, “If we move fast enough, there is a high chance of success. If we can catch one or two members or even more, it will be a great help to us.”
Uehara sighed and whispered, “However, I need to remind you that other than these six people, there may also be the appearance of Obito. Generally, these configurations are Akatsuki’s action plan;
If Konoha is determined to carry out the plan, I suggest considering other factors, such as the always invisible Obito! “
“We will remember Naraku-sama’s suggestion.”
Tsunade finally revealed a smile. She did not hide her gratitude towards Uehara and said softly, “Thank you very much! For our next move, I want to ask, can everyone present participate in this opperation?”
After all, Gaara, Terumi, and Uehara were very strong!
At least a few members of Akatsuki could be captured!
Especially Uehara and Gaara, these two guys could fly.
Before Gaara and Terumi could speak, Uehara nodded first and agreed, “I am very interested in this. How to eliminate Akatsuki who endangers the ninja world is also the purpose of my coming to Konoha…”
