Chapter 214 Prelude to the War
The task of transferring the tailed beasts is not complicated, it is just a slow process.

The so-called Phantom Dragon Nine Seals was actually just a means of activating the Outer Path Demon Statue, distributing the pressure of using this thing evenly among ten powerful ninjas to reduce Nagato's burden.

But even so, after the One-Tail completed the seal, Nagato still felt a little tired.

Before leaving, Hoshigaki Kisame called out to the pitcher plant, half of which had sunk into the ground: "Jue."

"What?" Its voice was light and loud, and the speaker was Bai Zetsu.

Hoshigaki Kisame took off his Akatsuki robe, held the Samehada sword in his left hand, and pointed it at Zetsu's right hand: "Please lend me your right hand."

"Will you return it?" Bai Zetsu's voice sounded a little reluctant.

Kisame grinned, revealing shark-like teeth: "What do you think?"

"Then don't use the word borrow..."

White Zetsu muttered, but before it could finish its words, Black Zetsu impatiently untied his Akatsuki robe and pulled a pitch-black arm out of the robe.

"Okay, stop talking nonsense."

As soon as he finished speaking, the black part surged like liquid, starting from the fingertips and moving backwards, revealing a pale arm.

Hoshigaki Kisame held Samehada and swung it downwards, and the pale right arm moved to his severed limb. A faint white mist rose, and the wound healed at a speed visible to the naked eye. Hoshigaki Kisame moved a little, but did not feel any discomfort.

"This arm is very nice. Besides..." Kisame put on his clothes, picked up Samehada and put it on his back, "Samehada said your chakra is delicious. Thank you for the treat."

"No need to thank me, I just hope you won't be missing any limbs next time you come to see me."

After saying that, Jue's body trembled slightly and he burrowed into the ground.

Deidara, one of the artistic duo, looked at the corpse on the ground and suddenly asked, "Brother Scorpion, are you interested in the corpse of the One-Tail Jinchūriki?"

Although he and Sasori pursue different arts, as a companion and an artist who also pursues beauty, Deidara is still willing to mention it.

Scorpion's body was hiding in a puppet called Fei Liu Hu. Although his eyes were lifeless, they showed a trace of emotion at this moment. But in just a moment, this trace of emotional gaze disappeared, as if it had never existed.

"No, I already have a better collection."

"Okay then." Deidara shrugged and turned away.

Seeing that no one from Akatsuki was willing to deal with the body, Pein had no choice but to raise his hand, intending to use gravity to take Gaara's body away.

Just then, Xiaonan beside him said, "Let me do it."

Pieces of white paper spread out and wrapped Gaara's body, turning it into an image similar to a mummy.

"I will take him to the cemetery outside the Hidden Rain Village. At least... it will be a decent way to go."

Hearing this, Payne was slightly stunned, then nodded and said, "Okay."

The white paper wrapped Gaara's body, then floated in the air, following Konan and leaving the underground space.

But... when Xiaonan stood at the exit of the tower, he paused and stopped.

She raised her head slightly, looked at the rain falling again, wondering what she was thinking.

After a while, Konan put Gaara's body here and turned to walk towards the top of the tower.

Returning to her room, she took off her white short skirt and carefully stored it away. Then she changed into a purple-black tights and a wide Xiao robe, returning to her usual attire.

As he took a step forward, the drizzle of rain fell on his body, making Xiaonan feel a sense of strangeness as if he was in another world.

"In the Land of Rain, will there ever be a day when the rain stops?"
-
The country of thunder, Yunyin Village.

The Fourth Raikage, Ai, after receiving the information sent by the Anbu, slapped the table in front of him and broke it in half.

Then he stood up in a flash, his eyes wide open like bells: "Can you guarantee the authenticity of this information?"

"Lord Raikage, this is information passed on by the village's spy in Konoha. If it's false, chop off my head!"

"Good! Good! Good!"

Ai said yes three times in a row, then seemed to remember something and asked again: "What is the loss of Konoha?"

"Konoha's losses are unknown, but from the looks of it, they don't seem to be significant. Also, there have been several small-scale conflicts on the border between the Wind Country and the Fire Country. We are still working on this intelligence."

Ai Ben wanted to put his hands on the table, but looking at the desk that was broken in half, he crossed his arms over his chest and said, "Never mind. Pass on my order and prepare the army."

"Yes!"

"Wait, Lord Raikage." The one who interrupted them was an icy beauty with blonde hair.

As the Raikage, his orders were interrupted so directly by his subordinates, but Ai did not feel angry. Instead, he calmed down his excitement a little.

Then he turned to look at the beauty and asked, "Samui, please continue."

"Lord Raikage, the Hidden Cloud Village cannot send out ninja troops now."

"This is a great opportunity." Ai stared at her, with a tone of negotiation in his voice. "With Luo Sha dead and One-Tail missing, there is no one in the entire Wind Country who can stop us. Magnetic Escape, Scorch Escape... and other various resources are all within our reach."

Samui shook her head slightly, took out a map of the ninja world and spread it out. After taking a look at the broken pieces of the table on the ground, she turned around, pulled out a kunai and nailed the map to the wall.

"The Land of Lightning is located in the upper right corner of the Ninja Realm, while the Land of Wind is located on the far left of the Ninja Realm. From the land, there are the Land of Fire, the Land of Earth, and a number of small countries in between. From the water, the Land of Water is also a barrier in the middle."

"And if our army wants to enter the Kingdom of Wind, whether by land or sea, it will be seen by other countries as a signal to start the Fourth Shinobi World War. Once the war starts, what happens next will no longer be decided by us. For the benefit of the Kingdom of Lightning, we should avoid all-out war."

"I think it is inappropriate to dispatch a large-scale ninja force. Instead, we should send an elite ninja team deep into the enemy country to seize the resources of the Sand Village."

Ai crossed his arms across his chest, his expression unchanged: "The Kazekage died in battle, the One-Tail is missing, the Sand Village must have been under martial law, and it will be too difficult to carry out an infiltration mission."

"We can only defeat the Sand Village, otherwise they will never hand over the bloodline limit of magnetic escape, which is the foundation of their survival, and the ninja team does not have such power."

It can be seen that when he made the decision to attack Sunagakure, he was not thinking entirely with his muscles.

"Lord Raikage, someone will do the task of defeating the Sand Village for us." A hint of coldness flashed in Samui's eyes, and he pointed his index finger at a certain location on the map - the Land of Earth.

"The Kingdom of Wind and the Kingdom of Earth are neighbors, and there is even a section of land that is completely adjacent to each other, with no buffer zone for war. If I were Ohnoki, I would never let go of this godsend opportunity."

Although Ai, as the fourth Raikage, is not stupid, he is still a reckless man after all. At most, he can only think about the problem from the perspective of the Hidden Cloud Village, and he will never think of using the enemy as a method.

After a brief thought, Ai nodded heavily and praised: "As expected of Samui, I'll follow your way. But... do you have any suggestions for this elite team?" "After all, this is a difficult mission to go deep into the enemy's hinterland and fight alone. I think it is necessary to dispatch a Jinchūriki. In this way, no matter which force we face, we will have the capital to fight."

"Then appoint Mu Ren as the captain, but she is a combat ninja, and the situation in the Wind Country is too complicated, so the command must be handed over to another person."

After that, Ai raised his head, his eyes burning: "Samui, go ahead."

"……Yes!"
-
The country of earth, the village of Iwagakure.

Just as Samui had expected, Ōnoki, the Tsuchikage, had already issued an order to prepare the army.

The number of ninjas in the Iwagakure Village has always been the largest among the five major ninja villages. Correspondingly, they consume the most resources to maintain such a large number of ninjas.

It is a shame to say that although there are a large number of ninjas, most of them are only at the level of Chunin, and the two most needed resources for ninjas at this level are kunai and detonating tags. To make kunai, you need a lot of iron ore, and Ohnoki has been coveting the mineral resources of the Wind Country for a long time.

In fact, Ōnoki had wanted to take action as early as six years ago, but Rasa decisively formed an alliance with Konoha, so the matter was left unresolved.

Huang Tu, a huge man, pushed open the door and said, "Father, the advance team has already set out and is expected to arrive at the border of the Wind Country tomorrow afternoon."

Ohnoki was staring at the map on the table in a daze. When he heard Huang Tu's voice, he nodded subconsciously: "I understand."

Huang Tu took two steps inside and asked, "Father, what are you thinking about?"

Oonoki did not answer, but a clear and pleasant voice came from the chair next to him.

"Grandpa is thinking about the Land of Thunder."

Hearing this, Huang Tu's simple and honest expression suddenly took on a bit of ferocity: "What? Are those reckless men from the Thunder Country trying to attack us?"

Heitu sat cross-legged on a chair, holding his ankles with both hands, and shook his head, "I don't know."

At this time, Ohnogi said without even looking up: "Don't think about it. Before the Wind Country is divided up, no major country in the entire ninja world will be willing to focus on other things."

"So what are you thinking about, father?"

"Based on my understanding of the reckless men in the Land of Lightning, they will most likely send an elite force into the Land of Wind to seize the Bloodline Limit of the Sand Village."

"so?"

"Haha," Ohnoki sneered, and then sighed in disappointment, "The Land of Lightning and the Land of Earth have been grudges for a long time. You think they are getting fatter. Who will they target next?"

The entire ninja world knows that the father of the Fourth Raikage died at the hands of the Iwagakure Village, which earned the Third Raikage the reputation of being able to fight ten thousand enemies alone.

If it had not been the end of the Third Ninja World War that year, and the long war had caused huge consumption to all countries, the Fourth Raikage would never have stopped the war with the Land of Earth so easily.

But the war stopped, and the revenge was never taken.

Ohnoki has always believed that if the Fourth Ninja World War breaks out, the Land of Lightning will definitely fight to the death with the Land of Earth. After all, that group of reckless men whose brains only have muscles are just like that.

Given the current situation in the ninja world, the outbreak of a full-scale war is just a matter of a fuse, so we can start making arrangements for the Fourth Ninja World War now.

The simplest and most effective way is to prevent the enemy from becoming stronger.

"Huang Tu, go tell the Akatsuki organization that we will pay them 50 million to kill the ninjas sent by the Hidden Cloud Village to the Kingdom of Wind."

Huang Tu nodded first, then scratched the back of his head and spread his hands: "Fifty million? Isn't this price a bit too low?"

Hearing that his landlord's son was giving the other party more money, Ohnoki couldn't help but clench his fist and flew over to hit him on the head.

"That's all. I won't give you a cent more."

"What about the intelligence?"

“Let them figure it out.”

"Oh." Huang Tu didn't ask any more questions and turned and left.

Just as he was about to walk out, Ohnoki suddenly added, "Also, go ask Deidara if he's had enough fun outside?"

"Brother Deidara?" Kurotsuchi's eyes lit up and he jumped down from his chair. "Can I go take a look at this Akatsuki organization?"

"No." Oonoki rejected her request mercilessly.

But looking at his granddaughter's round black eyes, Ohnoki's heart softened, and he continued, "The Akatsuki people are too dangerous, don't deal with them too much."

Hearing this, Kurotsuchi did not feel sad, but narrowed his eyes slightly: "Then... I want to go to the Wind Country to take a look, you can't refuse me."

"What's so good about it! That's a war, not a joke!" Ohnoki was so angry that he blew his nose and glared, and raised his hand as if to strike.

"Grandpa~"

At this point, Ōnoki finally realized that he had fallen into his own granddaughter's trap.

This little girl's original plan was to go to the Wind Country instead of contacting the Akatsuki organization.

Oonoki hesitated for a moment, then turned to look at Huangtu and asked, "What do you think?"

"I'll keep a good eye on her." Huang Tu shrugged. He was the commander of the troops in this operation.

But even so, Ohnoki was still a little hesitant. On the one hand, he was worried about Kurotsuchi's safety. On the other hand, he was worried that this girl would learn from that kid Deidara and find an excuse to run out and play.

Kurotsuchi struck while the iron was hot, clasped his hands together, and gathered a dangerous chakra in his palms: "Grandpa, don't underestimate me, I have mastered the power of Dust Release!"

She stared closely at the light in her palm, and the figure of a young man seemed to be reflected in her black eyes.

"Ah!" Ohnoki sighed and put his hands behind his back, "You go."

"Okay!" Heitu shouted excitedly, clenching his right hand and connecting his fists with his palms.

Hinata Kiyomi.

Didn't you say that I would never be able to defeat you before I mastered Dust Escape?

Well now, here I come!
Just wait and see!

"Ah! My waist... Kurotsuchi, hurry up!!!"
