Start with a Zanpakuto and build the strongest Mist Village

Chapter 150 I, Uchiha Obito, am Uchiha Madara, I can do whatever I want!
Everyone in the world is seeking profit, and becoming Hokage requires weighing the pros and cons.

The impact of Orochimaru's defection is enormous. As a follower of Hokage and the commander-in-chief of Konoha's front line, Orochimaru's defection means the full disclosure of Konoha's top political decisions, secret military arrangements, scientific research progress and various secrets.

The huge impact this brought made Minato Namikaze extremely anxious, but the most critical thing was the loss of the Hyuga and Uchiha bloodlines.

The bloodline families are most afraid of the loss of bloodline, let alone families like the Hyuga and Uchiha that have been passed down since the era of the Ninja Clan.

First, it was the Hyuga. I won't say much about the bird in the cage. During the Third Ninja World War, the Kirigakure ninja 'Ao' stole a Byakugan from the Hyuga clan, which made the Hyuga clan furious. They asked Konoha to issue a golden wanted warrant for Ao, and his treatment was comparable to that of an 'S-rank rebel ninja'.

Needless to say, the Uchiha clan almost destroyed the Hatake clan and the Hokage building after the eye that Obito entrusted to Kakashi after his death was reported back to the village.

If the war hadn't been so unexpected, coupled with Kakashi's death in the Mist Village battlefield, the Uchiha would have definitely made a big fuss.

These blood-inherited families attach far more importance to their own bloodlines than usual, and now after Orochimaru defected from Konoha, he directly took away the children of the two clans. The losses this brought to the two clans and to Konoha are simply beyond description in ordinary words.

Even Namikaze Minato often wondered if he was too stubborn and pushed Orochimaru too hard...

"It is better to guide than to block, and it is better to guide than to guide... Perhaps, I should be like the third generation..."

Minato Namikaze had a complicated expression, but things had come to this point and there was nothing he could do.

The venue for the Shadow Conference is still the Iron Kingdom, and the three parties have no objection to this location.

The successful convening of the First Five Kage Summit and the Second Fire and Water Summit made the Iron Kingdom famous, and also made it the "exclusive negotiation site" in the Ninja World. The Iron Kingdom was also happy to see this happen, as it could not only promote the development of the tourism industry, but also enhance the status of the Ninja World.

Although government affairs were extremely busy, the month or so of preparation allowed Minato Namikaze to adjust everything.

"Sir, I will leave the affairs of the village to you for the time being."

Before leaving the village, Namikaze Minato solemnly said to Sarutobi Hiruzen, who had resigned from all his positions, stayed at home to accompany his wife, and planned to have a third child.

Sarutobi Hiruzen is only in his fifties now, in the prime of his life, but because of the events of the Third World War, he ended up with his faith broken. Although he managed to save his reputation by operating the Box of Elysium, it also completely ended the political career of the Third Hokage.

It was originally thought that in this Kage Conference, Namikaze Minato would give the power of interim Hokage to Danzo or Qufeng, but in the end he chose to give it to himself. This really surprised the Third Hokage and made Danzo, who was standing beside him, look extremely gloomy.

Damn it, I also have experience as a temporary Hokage, why can't it be me?
Hiruzen, you old man are already retired, and yet you still come out to block my way!
"Since the Fourth Hokage has given the order, I will use this old bone to fight for the Fourth Hokage!" Sarutobi Hiruzen said with a smile: "Biwako has been taking care of Kushina during this period and let her learn some guidelines for pregnant women. Although the due date is still a few days away, the Fourth Hokage must come back earlier."

"Don't worry, it will be over in a few days. I won't be late for something like that."

When mentioning Uzumaki Kushina, a gentle smile appeared on Namikaze Minato's face. He then put on the Hokage's hat and left Konoha with Uchiha Fugaku.

"Hokage..."

Looking at the leaving Namikaze Minato and Uchiha Fugaku, and then glanced at Danzo, Tofu, Hiashi and others beside him, Sarutobi Hiruzen murmured softly, turned around and walked towards the Hokage Building.

"Everyone, during this period of time, you have to let an old guy like me come again."

The Hokage left Konoha, and the situation in Sunagakure was almost the same.

Just as Minato Namikaze's wife was pregnant, the Fourth Kazekage Rasa's wife Kasura was also pregnant.

However, the Third Kazekage had already died, and Rasa handed over power to Grandma Chiyo, while he took Maki and rushed to the Land of Iron.

"What are you going to do, go straight to Konoha?"

Looking at Luo Sha going away, Black Zetsu asked in a deep voice: "There is less than a month left before the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki's due date. If you go to Konoha in advance, you can make some arrangements."

"Do not."

Obito's indifferent voice then sounded, causing Hei Jue to frown uncontrollably.

He used the Kage Conference to lure the Fourth Hokage Minato Namikaze away from Konoha, and then took advantage of the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki's childbirth to launch an attack on Konoha, thereby creating the Nine-Tails Rebellion, thereby obtaining the Nine-Tails and destroying Konoha at the same time.

This plan was already made from the beginning.

Now that the Shadow Council is about to be held and Minato Namikaze has already left Konoha, isn't this the best opportunity to take action?

There was obvious confusion in Black Zetsu's expression when he looked at Obito.

"If we want to attack the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, we must do it on the day she gives birth, and there is still nearly a month before the birth." Obito said in a deep voice: "Namikaze Minato has the Flying Thunder God Technique. Even if the two places are far apart, with his speed, if nothing happens at the Kage Council, he will have enough time to rush back to Konoha before the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki gives birth."

"So the place we are going to is not Konoha, but the Land of Iron!"

I see. So that's how it is. You want to create trouble first and drag Minato Namikaze into the Land of Iron.

White Zetsu nodded, but Black Zetsu always felt that Obito seemed to be... in control of the initiative of this plan?
After all, the time of childbirth doesn't need to be too certain. With some tricks, the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki can be forced to give birth prematurely...

However, there was nothing wrong with Obito's idea, so Black Zetsu didn't say much.

"Besides attracting Minato Namikaze, we also need to confirm one thing."

"That's the strength of Mizuno Yueye!"

Obito spoke quietly, his face full of wisdom and strategy under the Uzumaki mask: "Since the Hidden Mist withdrew from the Third Shinobi World War, Mizunotsuki became the Fourth Mizukage. According to Madara's previous speculation, that guy can gain power by killing the target and devouring its soul."

"For two years, Mizuno Yueye has not participated in any wars. According to our speculation, his strength should still be at the same level as two years ago. Even if he has grown, it is definitely not much."

“But it’s always speculation.”

"We need to determine the guy's strength to prevent any accidents from happening when we implement our plan in the future."

"You want to attack Mizunoe Tsukiyomi?" Black Zetsu's hoarse voice sounded, "You are no match for him. Not to mention that strange technique and the speed comparable to space-time ninjutsu, just the power that is enough to control the celestial phenomena, even if he has not made any progress in the past two years, you are definitely not able to deal with him now."

"I know, but there is one person who can."

"…He probably isn't ready to face a battle of that level yet."

"No, he's already done." Obito's gaze turned from the yellow sand to Black Zetsu, and the blood-red three magatama under the Uzumaki mask revealed an unquestionable look: "He is a god who wants to make the whole world feel pain, not a carrier of the Rinnegan who grew up in a greenhouse."

"Besides, if there is no one with enough weight and power to go to the Iron Kingdom, how can we attract Namikaze Minato and test Mizunozuki Ye?"

"But……"

"No buts!"

Obito stared at Black Zetsu fiercely, and his three-magatama Sharingan even began to spin rapidly, turning into a kaleidoscope.

"Black Zetsu, you are here to assist me, not to control me. I am Uchiha Madara, and I can do whatever I want!"

"..."

……

Iron country.

Two years have passed since the last Water and Fire talks.

Although the Shadow Conference was not widely publicized at Sarutobi Hiruzen's request, there is no such thing as an impenetrable wall in the world, and in order to develop its own tourism industry, the Iron Kingdom would of course have to do some cool things.

Various rumors spread in the ninja world, attracting countless people to the Iron Country, wanting to see the place where the two great national shadows had held talks, which to a certain extent promoted the economic development of the Iron Country. This level of economic growth is nothing for a big country, but for a traditional small country like the Iron Country, it is quite promising.

Recently, General Mifune of the Iron Country received another commission that made him smell the scent of historical events.

"What? The Fourth Kazekage proposed to join forces with the Fourth Mizukage and the Fourth Hokage to hold a large-scale negotiation on a cooperative project and to convene a Three Kage meeting in the Land of Iron?!"

Without any hesitation, Mifune immediately decided to accept the commission.

What a joke! The huge influence and economic boost brought about by these waves of meetings are all real. They are treasures that are delivered to your doorstep, so there is no reason not to accept them!

However, it is different from the last time when he was worried about finding a security job. The war is over, and it is a meeting of the Three Kage. There should be no one in the entire ninja world who dares to have the strength and courage to disrupt this meeting.

So this time, Mifune did not go to the Akatsuki organization which performed so well last time, but just used the samurai under his command to carry out the security work.

"Is this the Iron Country?"

Luo Sha stroked his Fengying hat and looked at the city with a little snow.

Compared to the high temperatures all year round in the Kingdom of Wind, they hadn’t seen snow for who knows how long.

"Yes, Lord Kazekage, this is the territory of the samurai. I heard that the current leader is named Mifune." Maki whispered, "The last time the Hokage and the Mizukage negotiated, this was also the location."

"Well, let's go."

With a vague look in his eyes, Luo Sha took a step forward, and Maki followed him hurriedly. Footprints appeared on the snow and quickly disappeared in the wind and snow.

Soon after, the two arrived at the samurai's base camp, and Mifune came to greet them personally. After a few formal exchanges, the two sides invited Rasa into the meeting room.

At this moment, Minato Namikaze was the only one seated in the conference room, and Uchiha Fugaku stood behind him with a serious face and an unsmiling expression.

"Have you already arrived, the Hokage is truly worthy of being called the Golden Flash."

Luo Sha sat down at his seat, took off his hat, and paused for a moment on Fugaku's body before continuing, "Does the Hokage have any news about the dragon vein?"

"No news."

Namikaze Minato shook his head and asked with concern: "The dragon vein is of great importance. Is there any progress in the investigation of Lord Kazekage?"

"Nothing was found. Including the survivors of Loulan, everyone disappeared overnight." Luo Sha snorted coldly, his words mixed with anger: "That thief was not only able to break the seal left by you, the Hokage, but also disappeared silently in the desert. Even my Sand Village elite, with my Eye of Sand, could not find any trace of him... I'm afraid that person's strength is not inferior to you and me."

"oh?!"

"The dragon vein was stolen? The thief also easily broke the seal of the Hokage, and quietly left the Kingdom of Wind under the search of the elite soldiers of Sunagakure and His Excellency the Kazekage?"

A surprised voice came from outside. Mizunoe Tsukiyomi, wearing the Mizukage hat and the Mizukage divine robe, walked into the venue with Manzuki Kizuki, and looked at Rasa and Namikaze Minato with surprise on their faces.

"That person's background is probably not simple. There are probably less than one person in the ninja world who can achieve this level."

"The combat capability of the Sand Village elite in the yellow sand is not comparable to that of ordinary ninjas. In addition, with your Eye of Sand, Master Kazekage, you can escape silently from such a high level of tracking. I'm afraid the only special means you can use are flying and space-time ninjutsu."

Mizuno Yueye said calmly: "Plus he can break the seal set by the Hokage...tsk tsk tsk, the thief must be no simple person."

Luo Sha's face was solemn, while Namikaze Minato's face turned dark.

Space-time ninjutsu, the top sealing technique.

Aren't these words clearly pointing out that Minato Namikaze is embezzling from his position?
But Minato Namikaze really had no choice. If he put himself in his shoes, he would definitely doubt himself.

"We in Konoha have also been working hard to thoroughly investigate this matter."

"No need." Luo Sha shook his head, already convinced in his heart that it was Minato Namikaze who did it.

You even conducted a thorough investigation, but you are the one who embezzled money. What a waste of time!

The dragon vein could definitely not be taken back, but Luo Sha's heart was not too shaken by this. After all, the dragon vein did not belong to the Wind Country, and the Sand Village had never mastered the power of the dragon vein.

If we can use this incident to overwhelm Minato Namikaze's momentum and thus gain a certain degree of initiative in the subsequent cooperation negotiations, we will already be making a profit.

While Rasa was talking to Minato Namikaze, Ye sat down in his own seat. At the same time, his eyes fell on Uchiha Fugaku, who looked cautious, and greeted him.

"Long time no see, Patriarch Fugaku. I didn't expect the Hokage would bring you to the meeting. By the way, I heard that you recently had a son?"

"Thank you for your concern, Lord Mizukage. My wife just gave birth to a son a few months ago." Fugaku said in a muffled voice.

"Congratulations! I heard that the eldest son of Patriarch Fugaku is extremely talented. I'm sure the future achievements of this second son will also be extraordinary."

"Mr. Mizukage, you are too kind..."

Under Ye's leadership, the few of them chatted about this and that as if they were talking about family matters, which did relieve some of the pressure of the dragon vein incident. After a while, everyone began to discuss the details of the cooperation on various engineering projects.

Because of the Dragon Vein incident, Rasa's attitude towards Konoha was quite tough. Namikaze Minato also knew that he was in the wrong and could only retreat again and again on the interests of various projects. However, Ye showed his ambition without hesitation. He not only wanted to take the initiative in these cooperative projects, but also wanted at least 60% of the profits.

Of course, Rasa and Namikaze Minato disagreed, and for a while, the three parties held talks and discussions of various levels.

After the Three Kage Meeting began, White Zetsu had quietly sneaked into the venue and hid in the dark.

Outside the venue, in a bunker covered by snow, White Zetsu emerged from the ground and said to Nagato, who was completely encased in instruments, "There are quite a few people here, most of them are samurai guarding the venue. The three Kages have already held a meeting there. Nagato, what are you going to do?"

"How to do it? Of course, go in directly."

"Both Mizuno Tsukiyomi and Namikaze Minato are not easy to deal with. Let the other members move first and test it out." Konan said softly.

"...Is that so? That's fine too."

Nagato hesitated for a moment, nodded slightly, and agreed with Konan's idea.

After Yahiko's death, Konan became the most important person to Nagato. Although Nagato could make his own decisions on various matters, he would always ask for Konan's opinion in order to maintain a close relationship between him and Konan.

Only in this way can he ensure that he will not drift away from his original self, and only in this way can he get some comfort from the regret and pain of killing his best friend.

"Madara's idea is to have you descend directly as God Pain to give the Three Kages a huge shock."

Black Zetsu suggested in a low voice: "But if you do this, it will be equivalent to exposing the Akatsuki organization in advance."

Due to a series of incidents, the prestige of the entire organization has been severely damaged.

The first was the defeat of Kakuzu and Sasori. Although Sasori came back, the impact of this incident on Akatsuki was still huge.

The second is the recruitment of members.

Currently, the members of Akatsuki organization, besides Konan, Pain, and Zetsu, are only Sasori, Orochimaru, and Obito, leaving four vacancies.

If the organization is exposed at this stage, it will definitely be detrimental to Akatsuki's development.
