Naruto: I've already fought against all five Kage, and the system only just arrived.

In response to the changing situation, the Iwagakure, Kirigakure, Kumogakure, and Konoha, as well as the Sunagakure who now follow Konoha's lead, have all taken action.

The Akatsuki organization, which kept a close eye on the five great ninja villages, naturally noticed this.

In the Hidden Rain Village, on top of the high tower.

Payne looked down at the village, shrouded in mist by the rain, and said indifferently:

"I could feel the breath of war."

Standing to the side, Xiao Nan calmly asked, "The war between the Five Great Nations and Yu Yi Xuan Yue?"

"Great powers that consider themselves the protagonists of the world will not peacefully relinquish their seats. They will, in their usual manner, transfer the pain they once inflicted on others onto new challengers until they weep in agony, until they kneel and beg for mercy. This was true in the past, and it is true now."

Payne stated it calmly.

That was the case with the former Land of Rain.

In order to escape the tragic fate of the Land of Rain, which had become a battlefield for great powers and where countless people had perished, the once invincible demigod Hanzo fought against the Sand Village, Konoha, and Iwa Village.

But what will the outcome be?

Even if there are demigods, they cannot change the will of a great power.

The five superpowers will never allow any new members to join them.

Demigods are not acceptable, and even those who once stood shoulder to shoulder with gods disagree.

"The appearance of Hagoromo Gengetsu is not bad now. If a major war really breaks out between him and the Five Great Nations, it will be perfect for the Akatsuki to secretly collect the Tailed Beasts." Konan had the same idea as Uchiha Obito.

Since Itachi Uchiha and Kisame failed to capture the Nine-Tails, the Akatsuki organization has officially come into the sights of the five great ninja villages.

Although they have kept a low profile in the past two years, the five great ninja villages have not relaxed their efforts.

If they concentrate their efforts on dealing with Akatsuki, even if the entire organization consists of S-rank rogue ninjas with Kage-level combat power, they will still find it difficult to withstand them, not to mention that it will seriously delay the tailed beast capture plan.

Fortunately, they were lucky. Now the ninja world has gained another member, Hagoromo Gengetsu, as well as the Hagoromo clan and the Uchiha clan.

Combined, they pose a far greater threat than Akatsuki.

This attracted the attention of most of the five major ninja villages.

"The Feathered Robe and the Mysterious Moon are ultimately beings limited by the perspective of mortals," Pain, who called himself a "god," commented at this moment.

When Hagoromo Gengetsu, who was on par with Uchiha Madara, reappeared in the world, he paid close attention to him, wondering if this person would affect his plans.

However, over the past two years, the other party has rarely been seen in the ninja world, seemingly living his own life.

Payne wondered if Hagoromo Gengetsu was secretly plotting something.

However, it seems that the opponent, who is accumulating strength, has not transcended the perspective of ordinary people. Like Hanzo back then, he will most likely unite with the Uchiha clan, whose subordinates have already submitted to him, and his own Hagoromo clan to challenge the status of the Five Great Nations and become one of the rulers of the ninja world.

Ultimately, it's all for their own benefit and that of their own people.

No matter how much a person can rival the gods, they would never think that war only brings suffering and an endless cycle; they would never consider how to achieve peace in the ninja world and end this chaotic world of endless war; they would never pursue the realization of self-worth that transcends worldly concerns.

Therefore, this world should be saved by a true "god".

Pain looked up at the sky, at the weeping world, and gave a new order: "Tell Sasori to suspend the plan to raid Sunagakure and capture the One-Tailed Jinchuriki. Let him continue searching for the Three-Tailed with Deidara."

"With a major battle imminent, the Akatsuki should not be too active right now. The Jinchuriki of the One-Tail, Two-Tail, Eight-Tail, and Nine-Tail who have been living in the village for the time being should be put aside for now. Concentrate our forces on capturing the wild Three-Tail, the Five-Tail Jinchuriki who has been wandering outside the village for many years, and the Six-Tail Jinchuriki who recently betrayed the village."

Once the Three-Tails, Five-Tails, and Six-Tails have been captured, and the five great ninja villages have suffered heavy losses and are weakened, that's when the Akatsuki will show its strength, quickly pack up all the remaining tailed beasts, create the ultimate tailed beast weapon, and achieve true peace!

Konan had no objection to Pain's orders, and then asked, "Who will capture the Five-Tails and the Six-Tails?"

"The Five-Tails will be handled by Kakuzu and Hidan. As for the Six-Tails, I will deal with it myself."

Payne stretched out his palm, letting the raindrops fall onto it, and announced calmly.

Soon, the Akatsuki issued new instructions.

The true master of Amegakure has also left.

No one noticed that there were now many more stray cats in the village's streets and alleys.

"Meow~~~"

An orange cat, whose fur was deliberately made very dirty but could not hide its big belly, looked up at the sharp towers whose surfaces were covered with pipes, and sniffed them.

It smelled the gold coins beckoning to it.

"Lord Yuyi, is war approaching?"

Inside the spacious and brightly lit experimental base, Sasuke, whose eyes were tightly wrapped in bandages, heard familiar footsteps beside him and couldn't help but ask:

"War? Why do you ask that?" Yu Yi Xuan Yue looked at Sasuke with surprise.

Sasuke replied, "The combined power of Hagoromo and the Uchiha is too great, especially with you added to the mix. Konoha and the other ninja villages won't just sit idly by to protect their own status and interests. Especially after the Uchiha brazenly crossed the village, Konoha won't remain indifferent."

Yu Yi Xuan Yue smiled and said, "It's good that you have such thoughts."

The old Sasuke would have had nothing but training and revenge in his mind, nothing else.

He wouldn't consider the status and interests of the ninja village, or the reasons for the war, at all.

His life revolves around constantly getting stronger.

However, since being taken away by Yu Yi Xuan Yue and forced to read many of the Yu Yi clan's books, Sasuke's horizons have broadened considerably.

With further training, he will become a qualified head of the Uchiha clan in the future.

Thinking of this, Yu Yi Xuan Yue nodded and said, "Indeed, the great battle is not far off."

Sasuke was about to say something when he heard this, but Yui Gengetsu's next sentence surprised him greatly.

"However, it is not a major war with the five great powers."

Sasuke was very puzzled, "If it's not one of the Five Great Nations, then who could it be?"

Yu Yi Xuan Yue said calmly, "Land, population, money, resources, even so-called love and peace. People's vision is always fixated on what they know. Little do they know that compared to all of these, there is only one thing that is truly worth pursuing."

"What is it?" Sasuke asked curiously.

"eternal."

Yu Yi Xuan Yue looked at her palm and slowly closed her five fingers.

"Things change rapidly, and the world transforms. Land changes, populations rise and fall, money flows in and out, resources shift, and nothing remains the same. Peace, too, has its limits."

Even the greatest heroes eventually die. Even the most perfect policies eventually deteriorate. This cycle repeats itself; it is the law that governs the world.

"Only eternity can transcend the laws and change all of this."

"Therefore, there will be a war next."

"The target is Xiao!"

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 201 Target: Awakening!

"dawn?"

Upon hearing this name, Sasuke immediately thought of Itachi in his black uniform with red clouds, and Kisame, who, despite teaming up with Naruto, was still completely overwhelmed.

He didn't understand why Lady Hagoromo was targeting a mysterious organization composed of S-rank rogue ninjas, which seemed to be related to the so-called "eternity".

Seeing that Lord Yuyi did not intend to delve deeper into this topic, he did not ask any further questions.

Anyway, for him now...

Whether it's the Five Great Nations or the Akatsuki organization.

No matter who it is or what their purpose is, as long as Lord Hagoromo gives the order, he will not hesitate to use his eyes to clear away all obstacles in their path.

Sasuke reached out and touched his eyes, which were wrapped in bandages.

He could sense that the time was almost right.

Just then, Yu Yi Xuan Yue spoke up, "The time is up, you can remove the bandages now."

Sasuke immediately did as instructed.

Soon, the bandages fell off, revealing eyes with tightly closed eyelids.

Sasuke slowly opened his eyes.

A pair of blood-red Mangekyou Sharingan, still shaped like a six-pointed star but now with a new black triangular windmill-shaped eye socket, came into view before Yu Yi Xuan Yue's eyes.

Following Uchiha Madara, the second pair of Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan were officially born.

Yu Yi Xuan Yue looked her over for a moment, then waved her hand, saying, "Go and get used to it. It won't be long before your eyes come in handy."

"Yes."

Sasuke couldn't wait to get up and run towards the training ground.

Yu Yi Xuan Yue then stayed at the experimental base, making various preparations for the upcoming plan.

Until Ali brought the latest information.

"No Rinnegan was found in Amegakure?"

Yu Yi Xuan Yue took the scroll with the cat's paw print from A Li's hand, opened it, and frowned slightly.

Since we're going to deal with Akatsuki, then we should definitely target Akatsuki's leader, Pain.

Obito Uchiha and Black Zetsu are not the first choice right now.

Only by seizing Pain's Rinnegan and the Gedo Mazo can the Ten-Tails and the Infinite Tsukuyomi plan be under one's control.

Only then can Yu Yi Xuan Yue confidently carry out her own plan.

To kill Payne, one must first find his trail.

Because Amegakure is closed off year-round and prohibits outsiders from entering, in order to avoid alerting the enemy, Hagoromo Gengetsu specially hired the Ninja Cat Clan at a high price to investigate.

In Amegakure, the Akatsuki organization will guard against infiltrating ninjas, but who will pay attention to the cats that are everywhere?

In particular, the ninja cats don't all need to go out in person. They can rely on their cat language and some dried fish to make the real stray cats in the village their eyes and ears.

As for whether it can be discovered.

Yu Yi Xuan Yue knew that although Amegakure was an extremely closed-off village in the eyes of outsiders, the villagers all knew that their ruler was "God" and that the "God's Messenger" was the one who actually handled related matters.

"God" and "divine messengers" appear before the public at irregular intervals.
