Chapter 853: The Gathering of Akatsuki
As Danzo said these unceremonious words, the atmosphere in the room suddenly dropped to freezing point.
To be honest, if they were Kumogakure now, after learning that this pan-entertainment company, which is now unparalleled in the ninja world, was founded by the survivors of the Uzumaki clan, they would never think of apologizing or arguing with them. If they can't live together peacefully, they will only think about destroying them again.
...How can the hatred of destroying a country and genocide be so easily offset?
With Yunyin's highly militarized mobility, they may be planning another genocide operation, but if they can't guarantee it, they already have manpower on the way.
As long as the re-emerged Uzumaki clan can be wiped out again, not only can we eliminate the root cause of the problem forever, but we may also get an entire pan-entertainment company. This is a sure-profit business.
Danzo could see this kind of thing, but he didn't believe that Sarutobi Hiruzen, whose political sense and vision were much better than his own, wouldn't be able to see it.
Although in theory, the best thing for Konoha to do now is to seize the time to send reinforcements and envoys to the Country of Uzumaki to rebuild old friendships with it, but in this case, there is a high probability that it will start a war with Kumogakure again.
To exaggerate a bit, it is possible to use this as a trigger to directly start the Fourth Ninja War.
...In the final analysis, Sarutobi Hiruzen is now old and cannot bear the price. He no longer has the ambition he had when he was young.
At this thought, Danzo looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen with a bit of contempt in his eyes.
"Really? So for you, what would you do?"
Turning his head to look at Danzo, he didn't mean to be upset. Sarutobi Hiruzen looked calm.
"It's very simple. We should seize the time now to secretly send reinforcements, and then stand by near the Kingdom of Whirlpool. We will wait until the Kingdom of Whirlpool is in a desperate situation before taking action. It is best when almost all the people who were destroyed there suffered heavy casualties."
Vaguely, a cold light flashed across Danzo's eyes.
"The icing on the cake is far better than providing help in the snow. After this battle, the already sparse Uzumaki clan will suffer heavy losses. Even if they are reluctant, in order to survive, they must obediently adhere to Konoha and move the entire clan to Konoha. Ye. In this way, we can achieve the greatest results at the lowest cost. This is what we..."
"In that case, then just do as Assistant Danzo says."
Before Danzo could finish his eloquent words, Sarutobi Hiruzen interrupted him simply, and then turned to look at Kado Suiyan and Koharu who were sleeping on the side.
"In an hour, I will see the corresponding personnel list and the specific action plan for this time. At the same time, I will notify you and fully monitor the movements of Kumogakure and surrounding countries near the Country of Whirlpool."
Sarutobi Hiruzen stood up from his seat with a low voice.
"This time, we will never tolerate the Uzumaki clan dying again!!!"
Danzo: "..."
For some reason, he felt like he was being plotted against by Hiruzen Sarutobi again... Wait, why did I say that again?
…………………………………………
The land of rain.
It gets its name because it rains all year round.
After Hanzo, the demigod of the ninja world who originally ruled this place, was killed by Payne, he became the leader here.
At the same time, this is also the base camp of [Akatsuki].
Originally, according to Nagato's plan, the past few years should be a golden node for Akatsuki to recruit elite members and accumulate strength, but what he didn't expect was that before they [Akatsuki] had time to make a name for themselves, someone came from nowhere. The emerging pan-entertainment companies have rapidly expanded in the ninja world at an unscientific speed.
The financial problem that has troubled them for a long time is not a problem at all in front of this mysterious company. It is not an exaggeration to say that the company is making money every day.
They [Akatsuki] also organized an investigation into this company, but except for the discovery that the Akatsuki preparatory member Kakuzu who once escaped from them seemed to have joined this company, they could not find anything else.
This company is like a black hole, swallowing up all prying eyes from the outside.
...But that was before.
With the leakage of information about this company, although the ninja world at this time seemed calm on the surface, there were countless undercurrents surging uneasily under the seemingly calm water.
There is no way, the benefits brought by Pan Entertainment Company are too amazing, and there are too many forces who want to take a piece of fat from this company.
——At the moment, things about Uzushio Village in the Country of Uzumaki have become the center of all whirlpools in the ninja world.
At this time, somewhere inside the Kingdom of Rain, a secret meeting was going on as scheduled.
"Let's talk about your thoughts on this matter."
Standing at the highest point, Payne spoke calmly.
At this time, there were five or six people standing scattered on the rock pillars below him. Basically, they were all dressed in black and red cloud robes. Because of the sudden emergence of Pan Entertainment Company, there were no internal personnel at Xiao at this time. It's not all, it's still several people short of the number in Payne's heart.
"Idea? Aren't we extremely short of funds within our organization right now? There happens to be a lot of money in the Country of Whirlpool. When the time comes, we will take advantage of the troubled waters and rob them."
With his hands behind his head, a figure shrouded in darkness spoke lazily.
"It just so happens that we have always wanted to absorb that Kakuzu, haven't we? Taking advantage of the Uzumaki clan's destruction again, we can also pull him into the organization, and perhaps we can recruit a lot of good members for the organization."
"Don't underestimate them too much. Their strength is not as weak as you think. Among them, there are at least several Kage-level strongmen, and their leader, the flaming-haired genius girl of the Uzumaki clan, is definitely not weaker than any Kage in the current major ninja villages."
As soon as the voice of this figure fell, a voice that sounded a little sinister sounded.
"It's not that easy for those people to take over the Uzushio Village. Now is not the chaotic period of the Second Ninja World War. Moreover, with the identity of the Uzumaki clan exposed, Konoha will never sit idly by. In my opinion, we should take a long-term view."
"Take a long-term view? In the ninja world, aren't there enough facts that are extremely exaggerated?"
Sneering in his mouth, the person who spoke first spoke again.
"For example, the information from Konoha, in addition to the highly-watched Uchiha Itachi, there is also Uchiha Zhi who stepped onto the stage of power at a young age. The rumors about her are even more outrageous. It may be somewhat credible that she became a jonin from a genin in just a few years, but she independently completed hundreds of S-level missions in these few years? Do you really think S-level missions are easy to come by? This kind of talk is probably only used to deceive laymen."
"This kind of thing may be a little bit false, but don't underestimate her too much. I have dealt with her several times before. This guy is not easy to deal with. She is a veritable genius of illusion. If you underestimate her too much, you will suffer."
This time, a slightly low voice sounded.
"In addition to illusion, her physical skills are also quite strong. I have suffered several losses at her hands. You'd better not..."
"Quiet, we are not discussing this topic now."
Before the voice finished speaking, Pein's emotionless voice sounded again.
"Now, the order is issued."
"——All members of the Akatsuki organization, assemble in the Land of Whirlpools."
