Chapter 248 Ninja Storm
After Nagato thought for a while, Tiandao's Samsara eyes softened a bit, "Well, it can't be done, and it's not your fault."
In his heart, he felt that the natural disaster was a bit weird, and he must be hiding something, but Nagato's own strength was the best in the ninja world, and he didn't care about Lu Li's little actions in private.
Moreover, Lu Li had already demonstrated superhuman combat power in this battle. It could be said that, other than him as the leader, Lu Li was the strongest in the Xiao organization.
Under the current delicate situation, it was impossible for him to take advantage of Lu Li. It was not convenient for him to leave the Kingdom of Rain. Most of the subsequent major actions of the Akatsuki organization would have to rely on Lu Li, a strong newcomer who had just joined.
"We have lost a lot of members of the organization, so we will not carry out activities during this period. Kakuzu, Calamity, and Orochimaru, the three of you should pay more attention to the rebel ninjas outside. You can attract some powerful guys to come in."
Tiandao said, of course he was unhappy about the suspension of the tailed beast plan, but things had already happened and he couldn't really execute Lu Li.
The top priority right now is to replenish the combat power of the Akatsuki organization and prepare for the tailed beast collection plan in a few years.
"In other words, free time will follow?"
Lu Li asked with a smile.
Tiandao nodded, but looked at Lu Li with a warning look, "Sky Disaster, you have been more calm recently. The turmoil in the ninja world caused by you is not small."
If Lu Li did something like Kirigakure once, he could use an unknown employer to hire the Akatsuki organization to attack Kirigakure to obscure the past. But if Lu Li continued to do such big things, it would soon attract the attention of major countries.
The five major nations are not fools. If the Akatsuki organization continuously attacks the ninja villages of the major nations, they will immediately become public enemies of the world. But now they have not collected a single tailed beast, which is not conducive to Nagato's plan.
"Don't worry, I won't attack Kirigakure Village again."
Lu Li said with a smile that before he left Kirigakure, he had said that he would kill Zabuza, and these news might also reach Nagato's ears.
Tiandao nodded, "It's best to do this. If there's nothing else, let's disband."
…………
After the Magic Lantern Body Technique was lifted, Lu Li continued on his way to Tian Country to confirm the progress of Orochimaru's plan to destroy Konoha.
The ninja world was also stirred up by the incident in Kirigakure Village. The Akatsuki organization, a mercenary organization that had never been on the stage before, attracted great attention from the five major countries.
In the Hidden Cloud Village, the Fourth Raikage looked at the report with a solemn expression, "This guy is really brave."
"Lord Raikage, he seems to have no intention of accepting our olive branch."
Samyi spoke in the conference room.
Others also hold the same view. You must know that Lu Li is still barely a 'spy' for their Yunyin Village. According to the original transaction content, after Lu Li succeeds and retires, he can return to Yunyin Village and enjoy Retirement life.
But Lu Li worked too hard in the Xiao organization, and he looked like a super-excellent employee. This wave of attacks on Kirigakure Village directly cut off Lu Li's escape route.
In order to avoid a war with the Kingdom of Water, Kumogakure could no longer accept Lu Li as an international terrorist, even if Lu Li came here anonymously, because once discovered by outsiders, it might trigger the Fourth Ninja War.
"Raise his bounty to 100 million."
Lei Ying said that this was not a sign of falling out with Lu Li, but a disguised cover. However, in the future, their transactions would gradually decrease to avoid possible risks of war.
"Lord Raikage."
At this time, there was a knock on the door outside, and a white-haired woman came in. It was Raikage's secretary Azabui. She held a letter with worry on her face, "It's a letter from Kazekage. He proposed to convene the Five Shadows." General Assembly."
Lei Ying took the letter and glanced at it. After pondering for a moment, he said, "I won't go."
The content of the letter is very simple. Sunagakure was also attacked by the Akatsuki organization this time. Considering the overall safety of the ninja world, they hope to convene a Five Kage Conference to combine the power of the five major countries to eradicate the Akatsuki organization.
But Lei Ying felt that this matter was currently a thankless task for Kumogakure. After all, according to Lu Li's intelligence, Lu Li was the strongest in the Akatsuki organization except for the mysterious leader.
When the leader is immobile, the Akatsuki organization is actually within the controllable range of Kumogakure, and will only cause harm to other major countries.
This is good for Kumogakure, and he certainly doesn't want to take action against the Akatsuki organization now.
I believe this is the same in the Earth Kingdom. After seeing the results of the Akatsuki organization's attack on Kirigakure, Onoki's old Yinbi felt not only threatened, but also probably more happy. He is probably already thinking about how to hire the Akatsuki organization to cause trouble. .
The Kirigakure Village definitely wants to cooperate with Sunagakure in convening the Five Kage Conference. According to the original covenant of the Five Ninja Villages, the Five Kage Conference must be held as long as three Kages agree.
Therefore, the current choice is placed on Konoha's side, but Raikage feels that with Konoha's urine, this meeting will probably not be able to open.
…………
On the other side, in Konoha Village, inside the office of the Hokage Building.
As Raikage expected, the Third Hokage also received a letter from Sunagakure Village. He just glanced at it and rubbed his eyebrows with a headache.
"The threat from the Akatsuki organization cannot be underestimated. I think it is really necessary to hold a meeting to discuss it."
Sarutobi Hiruzen muttered.
However, as soon as he finished speaking, a rebuttal voice came from beside him, "Hiruzhan, if you think about it again, if the Five Shadows Conference is held, the situation in Konoha will be very passive."
As an advisory elder, Danzo stayed in the Hokage's office early this morning just to see Hiruzen's attitude, mainly because he felt a little guilty.
After all, he was the one who drove the natural disaster out of the village, but now he found that the other party was so violent, so he would be lying if he said he was not panicking.
"you mean……"
The Sandaime looked at Danzo and frowned.
"It's all natural disasters that have caused all the big things recently, and he is our rebellious ninja of Konoha."
Danzo gave up the Third Generation's intention to hold a meeting with just one sentence.
After thinking about it for a moment, he realized that there were two rebellious ninjas in the Akatsuki organization in Konoha alone, and Orochimaru and Natural Disaster were more troublesome than the last.
But to be honest, Orochimaru has performed well. At least he has kept a low profile since his defection. Natural disasters are different. Ever since he came back in the ninja world, things have become bigger and bigger each time.
First, the Raikage was crippled, and this time, the Kirigakure Village was actually wiped out. All four generations of Mizukage were killed at their doorstep. This was definitely the worst 'terrorist attack' that had ever occurred since the establishment of the Five Ninja Villages.
If the Five Kage Conference is held, their Konoha will definitely be destroyed by other ninja villages.
Thinking about it this way, Sandai felt that it was better not to hold the Five Kage Conference. Instead, he could consider contacting the victim's neighbor, Sunagakure, to consolidate the alliance.
After confirming his political ideas, the third generation returned his attention to the Uchiha clan and looked at Danzo, "Does the Uchiha side have any countermeasures?"
"Yesterday, two families held weddings. Uchiha's marriage plan was successful..."
Danzo did not expect that Hiruzen would take the initiative to ask him about this matter, and encouraged the third generation in high spirits, "Hiruzhan, if you want to take action, the only time is now."
The third generation frowned when he heard this. He was dissatisfied with Danzo's explicit statement. What does it mean to start? He is the Hokage. The Uchiha clan is neither making trouble nor rebelling. They are just maintaining good relations with the villagers. Why should he attack the Uchiha?
But Uchiha's performance did make him a little worried. It wasn't that he thought his master, the Second Hokage, was right in saying that Uchiha was born evil, but he didn't want the Hokage lineage to be cut off.
He contacted Jiraiya many times and asked him to come back as Hokage, but the guy refused every time, saying that he had no time to write books and collect materials outside.
If this continues, if there is no successor to the Hokage lineage, the next generation of Hokage may indeed appear in the Uchiha clan.
To judge others by oneself, the third generation does not think that after the Uchiha clan gets the position of Hokage, it will give up the position of Hokage in the future. In the future, the Hokage of Konoha may all be the Uchiha clan, which is not as good as their current model.
After all, although they emphasize the inheritance of master and apprentice, geniuses of all races still have a chance, right?
Thinking of this, Sandai felt inexplicably irritable, "Call Kakashi over, I have something to tell him to do."
As if a light had opened his mouth, a figure suddenly appeared in the room, and the ANBU reported urgently: "Hokage-sama, Kakashi-senpai was attacked in the woods outside the village!"
"What!? Are others okay!?"
The third generation stood up in shock. You must know that now that Tsunade and Jiraiya are unwilling to become Hokage, Kakashi is already the only choice in his sect's inheritance. This Hokage reserve cannot have anything bad happen now.
Since the past few years, he has been helping Kakashi develop his 'qualifications', taking Kakashi with him to train him, and performing tasks as a confidant ANBU. The next step is to let Kakashi lead the elite graduates of the ninja school.
He had already decided on the candidates for Kakashi. He would wait for Naruto to graduate and let Kakashi lead Naruto to form a new class. This would be the perfect way to pass on the Will of Fire from generation to generation.
But now he suddenly heard that something happened to Kakashi. If Kakashi was gone, he really wouldn't be able to find an heir.
"Kakashi-senpai is still alive, but...but his Sharingan was taken away."
The ANBU was also angry when reporting. It was obvious that he had a good relationship with Kakashi on weekdays. "Now Kakashi-senpai has been sent to Konoha Hospital."
Hearing that Kakashi was not dead, the third generation breathed a sigh of relief. Losing the Sharingan was a trivial matter. Anyway, he didn't think the eye would be of much help to Kakashi. After all, Kakashi became a child at the age of 12 without the Sharingan. I became a jounin, but my progress slowed down after I had the Sharingan.
"Who attacked him?"
Sandai asked.
"The specific identity of the attacker is still unclear, but...but before Kakashi-senpai fell into coma, he said that the person who attacked him...had a Sharingan."
The ANBU said hesitantly, carefully observing the expressions of the Sandaime and Danzo as he spoke.
Sure enough, before the third generation could speak, Danzo jumped out excitedly, "Have the evil Uchiha finally shown their flaws? Hiruzen, we can't let them go this time!"
The third generation frowned deeply when he heard this. He felt that there was something fishy about this matter. Uchiha was in a good situation now. Would he really do something like attack Kakashi?
But Danzo didn't care about this, and kept urging him to take action as soon as possible, thinking that he had caught the fatal advantage of the Uchiha clan.
…………
The Uchiha clan is still unaware of the political storm taking place in the Hokage's office.
Facing the bright morning sun, Itachi walked out of the clan territory for the first time after his confinement order was lifted.
After walking for a certain distance in Konoha's Death Forest, he suddenly turned his head and activated the Sharingan genjutsu to control the ANBU who was tracking and monitoring him.
After confirming that the threat was eliminated, Itachi raised his hand, and a crow flew from the forest and landed on his hand.
He took off the bamboo tube from the crow's leg and took out the secret letter inside with some excitement. Senior Lu Li finally contacted him!
After opening the secret letter and taking a look, Itachi was more excited. Following the advice of the senior, their Uchiha clan had already stabilized the situation. The next thing to do was to make Konoha dare not touch them at all and establish a high status.
In the secret letter, Lu Li told him that the "Konoha Destruction Plan" was about to be launched, and asked him not to leave Konoha in the near future, and to lead the Uchiha clan at any time to resist foreign enemies as a hero.
As for whether Lu Li had the strength, Itachi had no doubts now. After all, the news of the battle in the Hidden Mist Village the day before had spread all over the world. Lu Li had been certified as a super ninja who could fight half of the ninja village alone, and ordinary shadows would not be his opponents.
After Itachi burned the secret letter, he walked through the woods and went back to the clan to discuss the future with his father.
Just as he was thinking about the future of the Uchiha clan, the space in front of him twisted, causing Itachi to suddenly come back to his senses and dodge to the side.
I saw a man wearing a whirlpool mask appearing from the distorted space and looking at me, "Uchiha Itachi, do you want to know the truth about our clan?"
