I am the most popular character in Naruto!

"Hmm... there's also Kakashi. I wonder if he's made contact with Itachi yet."

Qianqiu pondered for a moment, wondering if she should send them a Ninja Hawk, but she was afraid of revealing their whereabouts.

"Let's forget about it for now and wait for them to contact us first."

She shook her head, dismissing the idea, and then leaned closer to ask, "Speaking of which, is Lady Tsunade also in the Land of Hot Springs?"

"Shall we go and pay her a visit?"

"Okay, I think we need to interrupt her extravagant lifestyle."

Chiaki twitched the corner of her mouth, then fell silent as she recalled the description of Tsunade's situation that Kawasawa Reiko had given her.

……

The land of rain.

"It's another victory for Minato-sensei..."

Kakashi weakly raised his hand, announcing Minato's victory.

"its not right!"

"I don't accept it!"

Jiraiya looked at his hands in bewilderment, "How could I not win?"

Jiraiya had already reached the level of Kage for some time, and with Orochimaru's assistance, he had completed a great deal of chakra control training and had sufficient control over his own strength.

But he just couldn't beat Minato, who had just entered the Super Kage realm.

What a ghost.

"Lord Jiraiya, please stop struggling."

Kakashi, with his lifeless eyes, said weakly, "You've tried forty-eight times already."

"Two more times! Let's round it up!"

Jiraiya started to cheat, and Minato smiled helplessly and said, "Jiraiya-sensei, I admit defeat, okay?"

"No way! I won't be satisfied until you lose at least once!"

Jiraiya was furious. "If I still get beaten up even after reaching the Super Kage level, what's the point of me reaching the Super Kage level!"

"I said... if you two are fighting, then fight. Can I leave now?"

Kakashi raised his hand and said that he felt he had really been bewitched before, that he had actually entered that tavern.

If I hadn't gone in, there wouldn't have been so much trouble.

"Walk?"

"Where are you going?"

Jiraiya glanced at him and said, "You were either sent by the old man to find Minato, or you were sent by Chiaki to investigate the Land of Rain."

"No matter which one it is, you can't do anything without us, so why are you leaving?"

"???"

Kakashi's explanation to Jiraiya was irrefutable; those were indeed the two missions he was tasked with.

He had no choice but to stay there speechlessly, and asked Jiraiya, "The legendary Sannin of Konoha, the great Toad Sage Jiraiya, could you please tell me about the Land of Rain?"

"Humph!"

Jiraiya, hands on his hips, said, "I don't know!"

"...Goodbye!"

Kakashi was speechless, but he couldn't beat Jiraiya, so he had no choice but to give up.

"Jiraiya-sensei, you really haven't found any information?"

Minato asked Jiraiya, annoyed by Jiraiya's constant fighting, and thought it would be better to change the subject and distract him.

"Well... what kind of intelligence could a newly formed small organization possibly have besides playing tricks?"

Jiraiya said listlessly that after he became a Super Kage, most things stopped pleasing to his eye.

Even an organization like Akatsuki, composed entirely of Kage-level fighters, had no impact on Jiraiya.

Anyway, no one can beat me.

The will of the world is slowly changing his mind. Perhaps once Jiraiya completely loses interest in all of this, he will be able to break through the level of the world's rules and achieve the same level as the Sage of Six Paths.

"makes sense."

Minato nodded and shared the information with Kakashi, "To be honest, all I found out was how they acted like gods and angels."

"Kushina has already infiltrated the wives' circle, and she may bring back some information."

Just then, Kushina appeared out of nowhere, shouting, "Minato! Minato! Big news!"

"I've heard that the Akatsuki's God is going to attack Konoha!"

"They're no longer in the village!"

Chapter 740 Taking and Asking at Will

Qianqiu knew this day would come.

But she didn't know that this day would come so soon.

When Tsunade, who was living a life of debauchery, was dragged back to the residence that Kawasawa Reiko had arranged for her, Kawasawa Reiko handed her a note with a stern expression.

[A major upheaval has occurred in the Land of Rain! The Akatsuki has launched an attack on Konoha!!!]

The note contained three exclamation marks, and on the back, a jet-black raven was faintly visible.

"The Mercenary Guild of the Land of Rain sent it to the Mercenary Guild headquarters this morning. I just read the intelligence and came over."

Reiko Kawasawa spoke solemnly to Chiaki. She had her own intelligence agency and naturally understood what kind of organization Akatsuki was.

She just didn't expect that Chiaki had also planted people in the Rain Country, who could transmit such secret information over.

It's worth noting that after obtaining the intelligence, Kawasawa Reiko even used her own informants to verify its authenticity. While the informants' intelligence was still en route, Chiaki's intelligence had already arrived.

What a terrifying hidden plot must this be?

Could it be that she directly planted someone within the Akatsuki organization?

Reiko Kawasawa didn't dare to think too much about it and let Chiaki make the decision.

She knew that Chiaki would definitely return this time; an organization of this caliber launching an attack on Konoha would be devastating to the village.

If Chiaki, as the guardian of Konoha, doesn't return, Konoha might collapse.

As expected, Chiaki's expression changed drastically after seeing the note and the crow's signature on the back.

"How could it be so fast..."

"Could it be because of me...?"

"That doesn't make sense...Pain...Nagato shouldn't..."

"Chiaki?"

Reiko Kawasawa tentatively asked Chiaki, "Do you need our help?"

"Yes! Absolutely necessary!"

Qianqiu nodded solemnly, "Please post a mission in the Mercenary Guild, instructing the mercenaries to go to Konoha to deliver a message at all costs."

"Also, if the Mercenary Guild has internal communication facilities, please make use of them as well."

"no problem."

Reiko Kawasawa readily agreed, "Do you need me to send mercenaries to support you?"

Mercenaries are no ordinary people; they act solely for money. As long as the price is right, they're willing to risk their lives to protect Konoha.

"...That won't be necessary."

Chiaki pursed her lips and said, "There's no need to tie the Mercenary Guild to Konoha. Besides, given Akatsuki's capabilities, no matter how many ordinary mercenaries go, they'll all die. It's pointless."

"Is the Akatsuki organization that strong?"

Reiko Kawasawa clicked her tongue. She had only noticed the new organization in the Land of Rain. Leaving people to investigate was just routine operation. She wanted to see if the organization could be won over and utilized, or if it posed a danger, she wanted to destroy it in advance to prevent it from developing into a behemoth.

But who would have thought that this emerging organization, according to Qianqiu, could disregard all ordinary mercenaries, rendering their numbers meaningless.

That's quite terrifying. Just how powerful is this organization?

"The guy who's ranked number one in your mercenary guild besides me is a member of the Akatsuki, but just an ordinary member."

Chiaki gave Kawasawa Reiko a concept, and after thinking about it, Kawasawa Reiko realized that if Chiaki was ranked first, then it was the second-ranked "North".

"A peak Kage-level individual is just an ordinary person?!"

Reiko Kawasawa was stunned. Could this organization's overall strength be stronger than the Mercenary Guild?

"The Akatsuki is composed entirely of Kage-level members. Kakuzu... that is, Kita, is not the strongest in the organization; he can only be considered average."

“There are many members of the organization who are stronger than Kakuzu, but of course he is not the weakest.”

Chiaki's expression was grim. "I didn't expect them to launch a surprise attack on Konoha. Damn it..."

The original plot has been disrupted, and Qianqiu has no way of knowing what will happen next.

But this doesn't make sense. Why would Nagato dare to attack Konoha?

Konoha has two Kage-level beings, myself and Jiraiya.

"Is it possible..."

Chiaki's face was grim. "Obito has also broken through to the Kage level?"

"Yes, it must be so!"

She clenched her fist. If this guy hadn't broken through to the Transcendent Realm, he definitely wouldn't have dared to hit her.

Damn cheater! Are you cheating again?!

If we take it to an even more extreme level, it's even possible that Black Zetsu found a way to revive Madara Uchiha...
