Starting from the root of Konoha, he was the mastermind behind the scenes

Chapter 252 The Curtain Rises and the Actors Take Their Place

After a round of bombardment, Temari and Kankuro were knocked unconscious.

The sand armor on Gaara's body also fell off.

"As expected of the Tailed Beast Jinchuriki!"

Kisame couldn't help but sigh.

"You... pissed me off!"

Gaara's expression was ferocious and excited, then he ran away, his body shape changed rapidly, and the huge body of Shukaku, the one-tailed beast, appeared.

Immediately afterwards, Gaara half appeared above Shukaku's head and formed hand seals.

The next moment, Gaara fell into a deep sleep, while Shukaku regained consciousness.

"Yo hoo!"

A sharp, long howl echoed throughout the Sand Village.

"I'm going to kill you all!"

Shukaku raised his head and locked onto Deidara in the air, pressing his front paws on his abdomen. The next moment, huge wind balls burst out of Shukaku's mouth one after another.

Deidara controlled the clay bird and dodged quickly.

"It's really amazing!"

Kisame looked at it, then formed seals with his hands.

This time, he's going big.

The huge amount of chakra condensed and then transformed into water.

As the ninjutsu was performed, a huge water ball formed rapidly, engulfing everything around it.

Shukaku, who was attacking Deidara, noticed this and raised his claws to tear the expanding water ball into pieces, but his claws sank directly into the water ball, and then his huge body was quickly submerged by the water ball.

"Experience the art of explosion!"

Deidara was a little angry after being attacked just now. A large number of tracking clay birds were pinched out and flew down from the sky, and one by one they drilled into the water ball.

Before Kisame and Samehada could attack Shukaku after they merged, Asuka had already surrounded Shukaku, and then... boom!

The violent explosion made the entire water ball seem to boil, and then it exploded with a bang.

A huge amount of water poured directly outward.

After the explosion, Shukaku's huge body disappeared, and only the unconscious Gaara was floating on the water.

Before Shukaku could show his power, Deidara blew him back into Gaara's body.

……

the other side.

When Gaara transformed into Shukaku, Kazekage Rasa sensed it and immediately set out from the Kazekage Building with his guards, but was ambushed by Satetsu and had to stop.

"Sandaime...Scorpion!"

Luo Sha's face looked grim as he stared at the Red Sand Scorpion who slowly walked out from the shadows.

"You guys go to Gaara's place."

Luo Sha ordered.

The Wind Shadow Guards immediately took the order and leaped away, but were immediately intercepted by Biwa Juzo.

But Shukaku made too much noise, and a large number of Sand Ninjas rushed towards the direction of the battle.

But by the time they arrived, Gaara had already been taken into the air by Deidara.

The Sand Ninjas chased each other across the rooftops.

"Sure enough, explosion is the eternal art. Hmm!"

Deidara was in a very happy mood and ignored the Sand Ninjas who were following him.

When they arrived at the place where Scorpion and Rasa were fighting, Deidara immediately shouted, "Scorpion-senpai, do you need help?"

Although they are not teammates, because they are both pursuing the eternal art, they are rare people who can talk to each other in the Akatsuki organization, even though the eternal art they pursue is different.

Scorpion of the Red Sand looked up and said calmly, "Since we have achieved our goal, let's retreat!"

Deidara smiled happily and said, "I understand!"

Luo Sha also noticed the air, and his expression suddenly turned ugly: "Damn it!"

At this time, the explosive bird flew down from the sky.

"Crack!"

As Deidara shouted, birds exploded one after another, and smoke and dust billowed.

When the smoke and dust cleared, Deidara, Red Sand, Scorpion and the other three had been carried high into the sky by the Clay Bird and were heading out of the Sand Village.

"Track now!"

Luo Sha ordered.

Many Sand Ninjas immediately tracked them on the ground, but unfortunately, after chasing them out of the Sand Village, they soon lost their target in the sky.

……

Iwagakure Village, Tsuchikage Building.

Ohnoki, who was concentrating on his work, suddenly looked up and saw White Zetsu emerging from the ground: "Akatsuki organization."

Ohnoki was very unhappy.

Bai Jue didn't care about Ohnoki's expression and smiled, "I'm very sorry, Mr. Tsuchikage. Of course, I have absolutely no ill intentions."

"This time, I came here as a partner to remind the Tsuchikage-sama that the Akatsuki organization has already begun to attack the Jinchūriki."

"Perhaps the Jinchuriki of the major ninja villages have been captured by now!"

Ohnoki frowned when he heard this: "Jinchuuriki? Why would the Akatsuki attack the Jinchuuriki? Who hired them?"

He himself likes to hire Akatsuki as thugs, so naturally he thinks the same of others.

Bai Jue chuckled: "I don't need to say this clearly, right?"

"Mr. Tsuchikage, you don't have much time left."

After saying that, Bai Zetsu didn't delay any longer. He sank down and disappeared quickly.

Ōnoki frowned, floated up from his seat, and walked around the room a few times before issuing orders one after another.

Starting from the second day, bad news came one after another.

The Sand Village was attacked by the Akatsuki organization and the One-Tailed Jinchuriki was taken away.

Similar situations then occurred in the Hidden Mist Village and the Hidden Cloud Village. The Akatsuki organization forcibly broke into both villages and took away their Jinchūriki.

But Konoha is not among them.

"Is Konoha collecting the tailed beasts?"

Ohnoki's face was gloomy and ugly, and he didn't understand why Akatsuki wanted to help Konoha.

You know, the one behind Akatsuki is Uchiha Madara.

Uchiha Madara helps Konoha collect the tailed beasts?
Or is it Uchiha Madara himself who is collecting the tailed beasts?
Ōnoki was deeply suspicious, so he did not act rashly.

Anyway, their Four-Tails and Five-Tails had already been taken away by Konoha.

Ōnoki remained calm, but the Hidden Mist Village, the Hidden Sand Village, and the Hidden Cloud Village became restless and sent out their elite troops to search for the Jinchūriki.

A month passed in the blink of an eye.

In the Land of Rain, inside a huge cave.

On this day, the core members of Akatsuki gathered here, and Nagato summoned the Outer Path Demon Statue.

Immediately afterwards, Uchiha Obito released the tailed beasts one by one from his Kamui space.

From one tail to eight tails.

However, these are all half bodies, and are now hypnotically controlled by Uchiha Obito's Mangekyō Sharingan.

Standing on a finger of the Outer Path Demon Statue, Nagato said, "Everyone, begin the seal!"

Uchiha Obito and others also jumped up and took their positions.

Snapped!
Nagato put his hands together, and the next moment, the Outer Path Demon Statue's mouth opened, and a huge amount of chakra gathered.

Wearing a mask and pretending to be a gangster, Uchiha Madara watched and could not help but secretly surprised: "Has he mastered the power of the Samsara Eye to this extent?"

Wow!
The sound of chains shaking was heard, and chakra chains flew out from the mouth of the Outer Path Demon Statue, wrapping around the necks of the tailed beasts.

"seal!"

Nagato growled, and One-Tail was pulled first into the Outer Path Demon Statue's mouth.

Next comes the two-tailed one, the three-tailed one... and the eight-tailed one lasts.

And every time it swallows a tailed beast, the Outer Path Demon Statue opens one of its eyes.

When the seal was over, Zetsu emerged from the ground: "Now all that's missing is the last Nine-Tailed Fox!"

Nagato looked at Orochimaru: "Orochimaru." Orochimaru nodded and smiled: "No problem."

He made seals with his hands, and two coffins rose from the ground. When the coffin lids were opened, it was the brothers Jinjiao and Yinjiao.

"The two brothers from the Hidden Cloud Village who ate the Nine-Tails' flesh and blood..."

Uchiha Madara frowned slightly at first, then sneered to himself: "This is good, so I don't have to find ways to weaken it later."

The chain appeared again, pulling Golden Horn and Silver Horn into the Outer Path Demon Statue, and the last eye also opened.

Konoha.

Xingxia Xiu, who was shopping for groceries with Tsunade and the others, suddenly looked up.

"what happened?"

Tsunade asked.

Uzumaki Kushina and Yakushi Nono also looked at Hoshita Hide.

Xingxia Xiu smiled: "I feel the familiar chakra, it's okay."

The Ten-Tails is resurrected!
The big show is about to begin.

After buying groceries and returning home, while Uzumaki Kushina and Yakushi Nono were busy in the kitchen, Hoshita Hide said to Tsunade: "The Ten-Tails has resurrected."

Tsunade's eyes narrowed: "Is Nagato going to become the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki?"

Xingxia Xiu shook his head: "Not so fast yet."

"But the four major ninja villages should be getting restless. Uchiha Madara will definitely show up and unite with them again."

"Maybe they'll pin the Moon Eye Project on us, or Nagato."

Tsunade snorted coldly after hearing this: "This time, we must get rid of all these guys at once."

After saying that, she turned and went out: "I'm going to set up."

Xing Xiaxiu nodded: "I will bring you food later."

at the same time.

Cloud Hidden Village, Raikage's office.

Seeing the White Zetsu who suddenly appeared, the Fourth Raikage instantly flew into a rage: "That guy from the Akatsuki organization... How dare you appear before me?"

Accompanied by a beast-like roar, before White Zetsu could speak, the Fourth Raikage's big hand had already grabbed White Zetsu's neck: "Asshole, hand him over to Bokuto and Bi!"

Bai Zetsu's eyes widened: "This guy's speed...I can't react at all."

At this time, Youyun Ren heard the noise and rushed into the office, and was stunned by the scene.

White Zetsu said with difficulty: "I came here this time to tell you the information about the Two-Tail and the Eight-Tail."

The Fourth Raikage shouted angrily, "Speak."

"Where is Yukito and Bi?"

Bai Zetsu said: "Well... now the Two-Tails and the Eight-Tails have been captured by the Akatsuki organization, and the actual controller of the Akatsuki organization is Konoha."

"Uchiha Madara was killed by Xingxia Xiu in a surprise attack after the last war."

"The Uchiha Madara of Akatsuki was actually Uchiha Obito from Konoha impersonating him."

The Fourth Raikage was stunned when he heard this: "What the hell is going on?"

"Hurry up and tell me, or I won't mind breaking your neck."

Coming to see the Raikage was indeed not an easy task.

Bai Zetsu sighed inwardly, then said with a smile, "It's for a plan left behind by the Sage of Six Paths, called the Eye of the Moon."

"By gathering all the tailed beasts, the legendary Ten-Tails can be resurrected. The Sage of Six Paths is the first Ten-Tails Jinchūriki. Anyone who becomes the Ten-Tails Jinchūriki will have the power to destroy the world and create a new one."

"Now that the Ten-Tails has been resurrected, the four major ninja villages are at the brink of life and death."

The Fourth Raikage casually threw White Zetsu out, and Darui quickly said, "Lord Raikage, this guy's words may not be credible."

White Zetsu climbed up and said, "Haha, in addition to the rebel ninjas from the major ninja villages, the Akatsuki organization also includes Nagato who possesses the Rinnegan and is a disciple of Hoshita Hide, and Uchiha Obito who impersonated Uchiha Madara is from Konoha."

"The most important thing is that, although it seems that the Rain Village has broken with Konoha, it actually hasn't. Yahiko and Konan are both disciples of Hoshita Hide. Among the Anbu of the Rain Village, there are many ninjas from the Root of Konoha!"

"Anyway, this information has been revealed to you. It's up to you whether you believe it or not."

"If you don't believe it, then wait for Konoha to be destroyed!"

The irritable Fourth Raikage calmed down at this moment: "You belong to Uchiha Madara, right?"

"Then why didn't you tell us before?"

Bai Zetsu said: "Because Madara-sama was killed by Xingxia Xiu before, I had no choice but to submit to Xingxia Xiu."

"And now, Madara-sama has been resurrected with the help of Orochimaru."

"By now, the Tsuchikage, Mizukage, and Kazekage should have heard the news. If you want to survive, it's best for you to form an alliance and fight against Konoha together."

"At that time, Madara-sama will show himself, and then you will know that all this information is true."

After saying that, Bai Zetsu quickly ran away.

The Fourth Raikage did not stop him and turned to look at Dodai: "Dodai, what do you think?"

Dodai said, "Lord Raikage, I feel it is necessary to contact the other Kages."

"Regardless of whether the information is true or not, it is very likely that the tailed beasts are now controlled by the same force, and the information about the Ten-Tails and the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki is probably not false."

The Fourth Raikage nodded: "I understand."

"In that case, send someone to contact the Kazekage, Mizukage, and that Ōnoki guy immediately!"

The Third Raikage died at the hands of the Iwagakure ninja, but at this moment, he can only put aside his hatred temporarily.

Konoha...is definitely not something the Kumogakure family can fight against.

Especially that guy Xing Xiaxiu...

Thinking of Hoshita Hide, the Fourth Raikage was filled with fear.

At that time, the Kages of the four major ninja villages, plus Uchiha Madara, besieged him, but none of them killed him. Instead, the Third Mizukage was beaten to death.

What is the strength of that guy now?
three days later.

In Takinin Village.

The four major shadows gather together.

Uchiha Madara finally showed up.

"Ohnoki, you should be able to figure it out now. Hoshita Hide faked his death just to get you to start a war."

"So, the Iwagakure Village lost the Five-Tails."

Uchiha Madara said.

Yagura said: "Then why weren't the tailed beasts of other ninja villages taken away by others?"

Uchiha Madara said: "Because Konoha cannot afford the losses of being besieged by you."

"So he chose to establish the Akatsuki organization and use it to absorb rebellious ninjas to collect the tailed beasts."

"But now it's different. With the resurrection of the Ten-Tails, Konoha already has enough power."

Rasa said, "If that's the case, then we can say it's impossible to defeat Konoha."

Uchiha Madara said calmly: "Without me, you really have no chance of defeating him."

"Because with the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki, it means you can control the 100,000 White Zetsu army left behind by the Six Paths Sage, and you no longer have the advantage in numbers."

These words made Ohnoki and the others pale and look ugly.

A smile appeared in Uchiha Madara's eyes: "But now I am resurrected."

"Although I haven't recovered all my strength, I'm still stronger than I was in that battle."

"And the control of the 100,000 White Zetsu lies in my hands."

White Zetsu added: "The most important thing is that Konoha doesn't know that Madara-sama has been resurrected."

The four Ōnoki were silent.

Uchiha Madara said calmly: "You don't have much time left."

"If you are unwilling to form an alliance, then after I take care of Konoha, my next target will be you."

Ohnoki and the others' expressions changed again.

Yagura said, "How can we trust you if that's the case?"

Uchiha Madara didn't care: "Did you believe me before?"

"You only have two choices now."
