Chapter 223: It's What He Wanted
Recently, the ninja world has been in turmoil.
When the Uchiha clan exposed Obito.
Many people noticed that Uchiha said that Kirigakure had been retaliated by Obito.
So many people began to explore the Land of Water.
But the defense of the Land of Water is unprecedentedly strong.
Many forces saw that they could not gain any advantage, so they chose to give up after leaving some bodies behind.
After all, the Land of Water is too far away, and Kirigakure still has the advantage of time and place, so it is really difficult to collect intelligence.
But Kumogakure is different.
When the spies of other forces retreated.
Kumogakure seemed to have chicken blood.
Spies poured into the Land of Water like dumplings.
One batch died and another batch came.
When Mei Terumi came to power, Kirigakure, which had relaxed its policies, tightened its external policies again.
The foreign trade of the Land of Water was almost stagnant.
The intelligence personnel of Kumogakure and Kirigakure started a long tug-of-war.
Other forces did not invest regardless of the cost, so it is not clear how the fight between Kumogakure and Kirigakure went.
But it can be seen that Kumogakure sent out many people.
As for Kumogakure.
Without considering the losses, it was finally found out that Kirigakure was strong on the outside but weak on the inside.
The three-tailed Jinchuriki Karatachi Yagura was missing, and the six-tailed Yugao was missing.
Among the seven ninja swordsmen of Kirigakure, only Chojuro with two swords, Flounder, appeared.
The other ninja swords were all missing.
Before, Kirigakure only heard that the bloodline family was purged. After the investigation of Kumogakure, it was found that the bloodline limit families of Kirigakure were basically wiped out.
The three major bloodline limit families of the Yuki clan, the Kaguya clan, and the Hozuki clan have completely disappeared, and the entire Water Country is in chaos.
Kirigakure has many factions. Although Mei Terumi tried her best to govern, at present, it has only slightly stabilized the situation. Kirigakure is unprecedentedly weak.
Kirigakure blocked the border and prevented spies from entering the Land of Water in order to cover up the fact that it was strong on the outside but weak on the inside.
After Kumogakure summarized all the situations and combined with the discussion of the General Staff, the Fourth Raikage Ai and the Daimyo of the Land of Lightning decided that the Land of Lightning would begin preparations for war.
Kumogakure first sent a small number of personnel to harass, and after finding out the number of people outside Kirigakure, the elite troops of Kumogakure forcibly landed on the island.
If they can successfully take down the Kirigakure outposts after landing on the island, they can form a bridgehead in the Land of Water.
…
In a cave.
On the stone pillar stood Zetsu, who looked like an aloe vera.
On the other side, a figure with a deep and majestic appearance opened his eyes.
It was Tendō Pain.
"Zetsu, what do you want to contact me about?" Tendō's voice was still indifferent.
As calm as a pool of stagnant water.
Because Obito had always been hiding behind the scenes before, he would communicate directly with Nagato.
Later, Obito was with Zetsu, and Nagato did not give Obito a ring.
Then, when Obito's identity was exposed, Nagato had no intention to give Obito a ring.
In this case, even if the ring had a location, Obito would not want it.
Although Obito also knew the Phantom Body Technique, usually only Nagato was the one who called, and Obito could only be called.
And Zetsu had a ring on him.
Today, Zetsu used this ring and took the initiative to contact Nagato.
"Chief, Kumogakure may have discovered the weakness of Kirigakure and is testing Kirigakure. It is very likely that they will go to war with Kirigakure."
"Is the information accurate?" Payne became interested.
Zetsu assured: "Don't worry, Chief, I personally investigated. Kumogakure should have sent out all the spies that can be dispatched. Kirigakure can no longer resist. Now it should have been discovered by Kumogakure."
"According to Kumogakure's style of doing things, it is estimated that they will fight soon."
"This is a good opportunity for us."
Zetsu's words are right. They are a mercenary organization and usually take over war missions.
But most of them are small countries, and they are all small fights, and the profits are limited.
If it escalates to a war between the five great powers.
Then the benefits involved are very terrifying.
Hmm... Pein looked like he was thinking.
Jue knew that Pein was already tempted, and he continued to encourage: "Chief, the movements of the Uchiha side are likely to be cooperating with Kumogakure."
"Now Kirigakure is in danger. At this time, Kirigakure must be in great need of external assistance. It's just right for us to go at this time."
"If we can intervene in this mission, the organization's funds will be completely sufficient, and we can even start the plan in advance."
Pein thought for a while: "Obito used so much money from Kirigakure before. Does Kirigakure still have money to hire us now?"
Jue didn't expect this. Doesn't he know whether Kirigakure has money?
Kirigakure is now very poor.
But Jue said: "Kirigakure's finances are indeed not good, but at the critical moment of life and death, Kirigakure will definitely be able to come up with a lot of money."
Pein nodded and responded.
It seems that he was easily convinced.
"That's good. Start planning ahead of time and let the world feel pain sooner, so that we can bring about real peace."
Sure enough, Nagato couldn't resist the temptation of that plan.
Zetsu thought to himself.
"I'll send someone to Kirigakure to talk."
Pein seemed determined to succeed in this mission.
"This time, my organization should have all its members dispatched."
"Let everyone get ready."
Pein left this sentence and disconnected the connection.
Zetsu opened his eyes, and Obito was looking at Danzo beside him.
Zetsu looked at Obito and said, "As expected, Nagato immediately agreed when he heard that the plan could be carried out in advance."
Obito sneered when he heard this: "Don't I know what Nagato is like?"
Zetsu nodded, seeming to agree with Obito's words: "Nagato said that he would find someone to talk to Kirigakure."
Obito nodded indifferently, and then thought about it.
"I'm watching Danzo."
"Once a tug-of-war breaks out in the Kingdom of Water, it will be easy for other countries to intervene. During this period, you need to explore more intelligence."
"I'll come to the Kingdom of Water as soon as Danzo is finished here."
"Okay, I'll go now."
Jue glanced at Danzo's old face, Obito, this old thing is useless.
Watching Zetsu's figure slowly sinking into the ground, Obito's eyes flashed with depth.
…
Yuyin Village.
Pain, who was manipulated by Nagato, opened his eyes.
"Xonan, Zetsu has found out Kumogakure's movements, and he also guessed that Kumogakure would start a war with Kirigakure, and encouraged me to intervene in this war."
Xiaonan chuckled: "That really went along with his wishes."
Nagato and Konan had already discussed with Natsuki to intervene in this war, but Zetsu actually couldn't help it.
Zetsu is just a microphone for Obito, this must be Obito's idea.
"Zeus has already guessed that Uchiha and Kumogakure have reached a cooperation."
"What he said to me is that he should get involved and make enough money to start the tailed beast capture plan in advance. It's a pity..." Nagato sighed a little.
Konan knew what Nagato was feeling, and now both Nagato and Konan knew that the so-called tailed beast super weapon was a scam.
So they no longer wanted to capture the tailed beast at all, and Obito didn't even know that the three-tailed beast was still dead.
I don’t know how long it will take to be resurrected.
At this time, it was impossible for Obito to start the tailed beast capture plan in advance.
I just don’t know how Obito would feel when he found out that the Three-Tails was dead after the war between Kumogakure and Kirigakure.
Nagato was looking forward to it.
"It just so happens that you go give Xia Mu a ring and clothes and bring him the news."
"It depends on when is the right time for us to step in."
"good."
