Chapter 301 Kakuzu: You Want Me to Risk My Life for This Little Money?

Uchiha Obito's initial plan was to secretly provoke wars between several great ninja villages and consume their strength.

As for the Akatsuki organization, it was during this process that they collected information on the jinchūriki and the tailed beasts.

Wait until the strength of the Great Ninja Village weakens.

Wait until the Akatsuki organization has collected the intelligence.

This is the time to take action.

Starting with Shukaku and ending with the capture of the Nine-Tails.

But the development of things deviated too much from Uchiha Obito's plan.

The Garden of Mists and the Garden of Forests are already gaining momentum.

At first, Uchiha Obito felt that the Garden of Mists and the Garden of Forests only represented a few great ninja villages. In that case, he could still have some time to plan.

But as more and more small ninja villages joined, the situation changed.

"I don't have time."

"The structure of the ninja world must be broken immediately."

Nagato was silent for a while and said: "Senior Madara, maybe we can pretend to be people from the Garden of Mist, attack Konoha or Sunagakure Village, and provoke a war between them?"

Xiaonan added.

"We can pretend to be people from the Garden of Mist, attack the Jinchuriki of Konoha or Sunagakure Village, lead and create tailed beast riots, and anger Sunagakure Village and Konoha."

"I remember that Kirigakure Village seemed to have done this before."

"Insert the three tails into the body of a ninja named Nohara Lin in Konoha."

Uchiha Obito: "..."

If Uchiha Obito hadn't confirmed that Konan didn't know his true identity, Uchiha Obito would have felt that Konan was mocking him in person.

But after Uchiha Obito forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart, he thought about it and felt that this was a decent plan.

"Then who do you think is more appropriate to target?"

Konan said: "Konoha is powerful and heavily guarded, and we have not yet found out the detailed information about the Nine-Tails Jinchuuriki. It is definitely inappropriate to act rashly at this time."

"We have all the information about the Jinchuuriki of Sunagakure Village."

"There is also an internal response arranged by the Crimson Sand Scorpion."

"Targeting the Sunagakure Jinchuriki would be a more suitable choice."

Uchiha Obito nodded.

"Okay, in that case, I'll leave it to you to arrange this matter."

"Yes, Madara-senpai."

Uchiha Obito turned and left.

Uchiha Obito felt that the plan put forward by Nagato and Konan was feasible, but he did not place all his hopes on this plan. Uchiha Obito also had his own plan.

"Now Yagura is not only the Mizukage of Kirigakure Village, but also the chairman of the Mist Garden."

"Forging the incident of Kirigakure ninjas attacking Sunagakure Village can provoke the Forest Garden to attack the Mist Garden."

"But I also need to fake the attack on Kirigakure by Konoha ninjas."

"In that case, if I control Yagura and order the attack on Konoha, it will appear reasonable and no one will doubt whether there is anything wrong with Yagura's order."

"That is, the possibility that Yagura is my puppet will not be exposed."

"This is the real method that can ensure that the Court of Mist and the Court of Forest will start a war immediately."

Nagato and Konan watched Uchiha Obito leave.

Until it disappears completely.

The two looked away.

"This person cannot be Uchiha Madara."

"Maybe it's just another Uchiha, assuming Madara Uchiha's name."

"If Uchiha Madara only had this level of strength and ability, then it would have been impossible to frighten the ninja world before and be on par with the god of the ninja world, Senju Hashirama."

"However, gathering the power of the tailed beasts is indeed what we have to do."

"We need this power to make the world feel pain."

"He and we still have the same idea now."

"Xiaonan, what's going on in Hidden Sand Village, are you and the Red Sand Scorpion enough?"

Xiao Nan shook his head.

"Neither the Akasaka Scorpion nor I can disguise ourselves as a Kirigakure ninja, so we may have to let the Taketori Neko join in this operation."

"Without exposing the keel, Taketori Neko is a genuine Kirigakure ninja."

"In addition, if Kakuzu is also involved, the effect will be better."

"The Taketori cat doesn't seem to be very good at water escape."

"Kakuzu is good at both water escape and thunder escape. The ninjas of Sunagakure Village will only think that the ninjas of Kirigakure Village and Kumogakure Village are acting together. Together, they can make a better disguise."

Nagato nodded.

"Okay, just follow what you said, Xiaonan."

Xiaonan quickly found several people respectively.

The Red Sand Scorpion has no objection to this.

The Scorpion of Red Sand has no feelings for Sunagakure Village.

Even just complaining.

Killing the Third Kazekage and making him into a puppet still could not eliminate the resentment of the Red Sand Scorpion over the death of his parents for many years, not to mention that Sunagakure Village and Konoha have now formed an alliance.

Therefore, when Konan proposed to attack Sand Hidden Village and capture the Jinchuuriki, the Red Sand Scorpion showed no resistance.

Capturing the tailed beasts is the plan of the Akatsuki organization.

The Scorpion of Red Sand doesn't think this plan can really solve the problems of the ninja world.

But the red sand scorpion is also happy to see it.

Change is definitely better than no change.

In addition, the Red Sand Scorpion requires resources from the Akatsuki organization.

And be wary of the strength of the Xiao organization.

Under the current circumstances, it is impossible for the Red Sand Scorpion to break the good relationship with the Akatsuki organization.

"Scorpion, how many people do you have in Sand Hidden Village?"

"More than a dozen people."

"You can arrange everything in the Sand Village."

Konan said, "First, we will create a riot of the tailed beasts, and then capture the Jinchūriki. However, we must not expose our identities, but disguise the attackers as ninjas from the Mist Garden."

The Red Sand Scorpion nodded.

"Okay."

Then, Konan found Kakuzu.

At this moment, Manzuki Hozuki was also next to Kakuzu.

Manzuki Hozuki was not a member of the Akatsuki organization, but her relationship with Kakuzu was similar to that of a teacher and a disciple, and also similar to that of a superior and a subordinate, and they basically acted together.

"Kakuzu, I have something to tell you alone."

Kakuzu gestured to Manzuki Hozuki.

Manzuki Hozuki walked out.

A paper crane stood on the eaves.

Konan lowered her voice after confirming that Manzuki Hozuki had gone far away through the paper crane.

"Kakuzu, do you trust that Mist Village kid?"

Kakuzu glanced at Konan indifferently.

"It's not about trust. I just think that kid has a good talent. If he is trained as a tool, it will be very convenient."

"That's good."

Konan nodded.

"What I am going to say next must not be known to that kid. The Hozuki clan has a Hozuki Izumo. I don't know if this kid will be the second one. The Hidden Mist Village is also one of the obstacles blocking our plan."

Kakuzu narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Are there any plans?"

"Yes, now it's time for us to start the formal tailed beast collection plan, starting with the one-tailed Jinchūriki of the Hidden Sand Village. I, Sasori, and you, the Taketori Cat, the four of us will act together."

Konan said: "First create a riot of the tailed beasts, then capture the Jinchūriki, and then put the blame on the Mist Garden."

Kakuzu's eyes flickered.

The reason why he joined the Akatsuki organization.

On the one hand, he felt that the conditions offered by the Akatsuki organization were very good.

On the other hand, he felt that joining the Akatsuki organization would not bring any changes to his life.

He is still the same as before.

But now, the plan proposed by Konan is completely beyond Kakuzu's expectations.

In the original plot, Kakuzu joined Akatsuki for a long time before he started the plan to capture the tailed beast.

After a long time, Kakuzu was convinced.

Let Kakuzu agree to let the ninja world feel the pain.

But at this moment, it has not happened yet.

Therefore, Kakuzu resisted this task.

Why did he work overtime when he was supposed to work and slack off?

He said he would lie down, but there was a risk of sudden death?

Now Kakuzu feels this way.

Konan proposed this plan, which Kakuzu thought was very dangerous.

After many years of wandering ninja career, Kakuzu knew very well that as a wandering ninja, if he wanted to live smoothly, he should not provoke those big ninja villages.

Even if he had strong strength, he should not.

After all, the ninjas of the big ninja villages were not only strong, but also numerous.

And they acted quite domineeringly.

Don't look at the Sand Village facing Konoha now, as if it was weak and easy to bully and overthrow.

But when facing other small ninja villages and wandering ninjas, the Sand Village was very fierce.

"In addition, there is another mission for you."

Kakuzu was thinking, but he still asked.

"What mission?"

"During this mission, monitor and observe the Taketori Cat."

Kakuzu raised his eyebrows.

"The organization suspects that he is not loyal enough to the organization?"

"The Taketori Cat is a ninja from the Hidden Mist Village after all, and there are many doubts on the night of the genocide. With your experience and ability, it shouldn't be difficult for you to do this, right?"

Kakuzu nodded.

"No problem."

After Konan left, Kakuzu began to pack up.

But he was not going to carry out the mission.

He was going to run away.

For Kakuzu, it was.

--With such a small amount of resources, what's the point of risking your life?

So far, Kakuzu has not received too many resources from the Akatsuki organization.

Manzuki Hozuki walked in.

"Senior Kakuzu, what are you doing?"

"I plan to leave, Manzuki, what do you choose?"

"Leave? Where to?"

"To a place where the Akatsuki organization can't find you."

Kakuzu paused.

"Man Yue, you are my follower. In the eyes of the Akatsuki people, you and I are together. If I leave, they will find you and will definitely punish you."

"Either you come with me, or you find a place where the Akatsuki people can't find you."

"You have good talent and have similar experiences to me, so I will remind you a few more words."

Man Yue Hozuki was silent for a while.

"Senior Kakuzu, the ninja world is big, but also small. If you don't want to be retaliated by the Akatsuki people, then I can give you a suggestion, go to the Mist Garden."

"I know you are very resistant to the ninja village, but the Mist Garden is not a ninja village."

Kakuzu was startled, and then his eyes flickered.

"Man Yue Hozuki, you should know that the Mist Garden is dominated by the Hidden Mist Village, right?"

"I know."

"Your Hozuki clan was exterminated by the Hidden Mist Village, and you actually suggested that I go to the Mist Garden? Aren't you afraid that it will enhance the strength of the Hidden Mist Village and increase the difficulty of your revenge?"

Man Yue Hozuki said.

"The one who ordered the extermination of the Kizuna clan was Yagura."

"The one who betrayed the Kizuna clan was Kizumo Kizuna."

"My Ghost Lantern clan is not the only one in Kirigakure Village who has suffered persecution from the village. It is impossible to say that in revenge for Kirigakure Village, I will kill all those people together."

"I'll only kill two people."

"Yakura and Onito Izumo."

"Kakuzu-senpai, if you join the Garden of Mist, you might be able to make a deal with me and provide me with convenience for revenge."

"Furthermore, judging from your situation, Kakuzu-senpai, joining the Mist Garden is indeed a better choice."

These reasons had already convinced Kakuzu, but Kakuzu still asked a question.

"Why not the Forest Garden?"

"Konoha is too evil. It blatantly uses the dead to fight. This is a stain on the dead."

There was a trace of disgust in Gui Deng Man Yue's eyes.

"What about you, Man Yue?"

"I want to stay here and join the Akatsuki organization."

This time, regardless of angle, Gui Deng Man Yue explained first.

"I don't think there is much possibility of realizing the Akatsuki organization's plan, but they have something I can take advantage of. Their target is the tailed beast, the jinchūriki."

"There are also tailed beasts in Kirigakure Village, the Jinchūriki."

"When they attack the tailed beasts and jinchūriki of Kirigakure Village, I might be able to find an opportunity to kill Yagura or Izumo Oniden and complete my revenge."

Kakuzu can accept this reason.

"However, it is not easy to get people from the Akatsuki organization to believe you."

Kakuzu said.

"In addition, Man Yue, your talent is good, but you are too young, and the Akatsuki organization may not be able to appreciate your current strength."

Gui Deng Man Yue smiled.

"Kakashi Hatake of Konoha Village became a Jonin at the age of twelve. I am also twelve now. I don't think my strength will be worse than Kakashi Hatake of twelve years old."

"Moreover, Kakashi Hatake at that time only knew how to escape with a grenade. I have much more than him."

"The secret skills of our Ghost Lantern clan are not comparable to those of Thunder Release."

"And the ninja sword in my hand is one of the few among Kirigakure's seven ninja swords that can compete with the Zanpakutō. The role I can play is not small."

Kakuzu glanced at Kiden Mangetsu again.

"Yeah, then, good luck to you!"

After saying that, Kakuzu flashed and disappeared.

On the other side, Xiaonan found Taketori Neko, but did not tell Taketori Neko in too specific details. Instead, he just told Taketori Neko that he would have a mission and come to the Land of Rain to gather.

Taketori Neko agreed.

…

…

"8080!"

"A good number."

"In that case, let's start the lottery!"

"Eighty consecutive strokes!"

Osamu Uehara has returned to the forging island.

But he came back quietly.

No one was informed.

The security of the Garden of Mist and Hidden Mist Village is very high.

But on the way there, once others learn the information, there will inevitably be danger.

The roulette wheel for the lottery started spinning rapidly as Uehara Shu had an idea.
