Konoha: Unable to learn ninjutsu, they had to develop their own.

The sound of Tsunade and Mei Terumi arguing could be heard from afar. Although it was hard to make out what they were saying, it was enough for Chiba to decide to retreat from the stairwell and come back another day.

Chiba originally wanted to talk to Tsunade about the Calorie Secret Technique, since Tsunade was also an expert in physical matters and knew even more about it than he did.

result.

Upon arriving, I faintly heard Tsunade and Mei Terumi exchanging words—

It's only because his perception is superior to most people that he could hear it.

Leaving the Hokage Building, Chiba fell into deep thought.

Mei Terumi...

They don't even want the Three-Tailed Fox.

He thought about it and found it reasonable.

Given Kirigakure's current strength, knowing that Akatsuki is present, they have no chance of protecting the Tailed Beasts. Rather than paying a price to acquire them, they might as well not have them at all.

As for what Naruto is thinking.

Where do those guys get the money to buy tailed beasts?

but.

If you have too many lice, they won't stick to your body.

The latter doesn't seem to have become a rogue ninja yet; he's still in Kirigakure with his master, that unfortunate master of his...

That being said, not everyone can be so decisive; for example, Rasa does not have such courage.

I heard that Luo Sha is still searching for gold in the desert.

Logically speaking, you should definitely take it, otherwise leaving it there would be a huge waste. One advantage of holding it is that if all else fails, you can kill it.

These two tailed beasts are the most troublesome.

We'll see who comes out on top then.

If I were to go to the Land of Earth on my own, I would likely face numerous obstacles.

If we don't act now, it will be extremely difficult to obtain them once the Akatsuki captures them and seals them inside the golem.

"If you can hold the Three-Tails in your hand, then the Four-Tails, the Five-Tails..."

They all defected from Iwagakure, but Onoki has never made any move to capture them, which seems rather strange.

If a shadow doesn't use his brain, he'll be destined to be a thug his whole life. And Luo Sha's most fatal flaw is that he thinks he's very smart.

As for Sunagakure Village...

loss!

……

Whether Onoki cooperated with the Akatsuki is something Chiba doesn't have concrete evidence of, but there's no doubt that the Akatsuki had a good understanding of Iwagakure.

"Konoha is indeed on high alert right now. I went there and although I managed to evade their detection using my abilities, their barriers and detection capabilities have probably already found me."

Obito sat on a chair inside the cave, playing with a fan. "Having lost a clone, they already know how to deal with us."

"Let's choose Six-Tails next. His master was quite thoughtful, it's a real pity he died. As for Six-Tails..."

Chiba shook his head, not dwelling on Rasa's matter.

Since the Three-Tails has no consciousness and no emotional connection with them, killing it would not be a psychological burden for us.

Chiba hesitated for a moment, unable to make up his mind.

what a pity.

We don't want Kirigakure; taking back Konoha is the most beneficial option. Whether we use it to make batteries or something else, we won't lose too much. As for Akatsuki...

"So what are you planning to do next?"

A little more or a little less attention doesn't really matter; in the end, we'll see who's stronger between Obito, Nagato, and them.

Chiba narrowed his eyes.

After much deliberation, he had a plan in mind.

That's really harmful.

So……

Since they've already captured White Zetsu, the Akatsuki organization has developed a very strong interest in Konoha.

No matter what, we can't not go.

I even spent my brainpower to come up with a "tailed beast inflation" plan, but I didn't expect that Kirigakure didn't want it at all.

"Forget it, let's take another look. It's a pity that we've already cooperated with Kumogakure. Otherwise, we could inflate it and sell it to Kumogakure. As for Onoki, giving it to him is not much different from giving it to Akatsuki."

Similarly, there are two-tailed and six-tailed tails.

Should we take these three tails?

This was not on Chiba's mind.

Before the tailed beasts appeared, Chiba didn't feel he needed to be afraid of them.

Jue's expression was solemn.

Even he doesn't dare to easily enter Konoha's territory now, otherwise, if he accidentally messes up, it will affect all subsequent plans.

but.

If left unattended, they will know nothing about Konoha. Given Yagyu Chiba's development capabilities, who knows what Konoha will be like in a year or two?

Until then.

Their sudden attack, resulting in Konoha having a bunch of Sharingan users or something similar, is definitely not good news for the Akatsuki.

"I'll handle the intelligence gathering myself. There's no need to risk their lives for unnecessary information. However, we can try using spore magic to infiltrate."

Obito thought for a moment, "Since we've already had one of our clones captured, it won't make a difference if another one is captured."

"That's true, but if the other side gets too much information, it might affect some of the subsequent battles, right?"

I'm quite worried about this.

They keep 100,000 White Zetsu clones underground, which are the foundation for their final war. If the White Zetsu clones are broken first, their subsequent plans will be greatly affected.

but.

One has already been captured.

As soon as Jue finished speaking, he remembered this incident, and for a moment he was stuck there.

The two were speechless for a moment.

He lightly tapped the chair with soil.

"How are things on Akatsuki's side? Is Nagato still under our control?"

"Yes, he still thinks we have the same goal as him and has no doubts. He just feels that we have been interfering a bit too much lately."

Jue said.

Obito smiled silently, then said, "In that case, let's not interfere and let Nagato decide what to do next."

"Alright."

"In addition, we should also support ninjutsu research. Konoha is now developing ninjutsu with great effort, and we need to make corresponding responses. We must have our own countermeasures for the new ninjutsu from Konoha that we can collect so far."

Obito paused abruptly at this point, then asked, "I heard that the people from Kirigakure recently went to Konoha?"

"Hehe, yes, it is said that Kirigakure wants to re-establish diplomatic relations and contact with the outside world through the Chunin Exams, so they specially sent a delegation to Konoha."

Black Zetsu smiled slightly. "The person who went this time is the Fifth Mizukage, Mei Terumi."

"The Fifth Mizukage?"

Obito narrowed one eye, then sneered, "This woman is very perceptive and not easy to deal with. Compared to her, that Byakugan from Kirigakure is even more annoying."

"what do you mean?"

"Just kill him. If I don't, that guy will eventually figure out my illusion."

"Actually, you could also kill Mei Terumi."

Black Zetsu said.

Obito shook his head: "That's pointless. They want to get rid of the Blood Mist, so I'll plunge Kirigakure into new chaos. Besides, killing her would have a bad impact."

"as long as you are happy."

Black Zetsu did not try to dissuade him further.

While now is a relatively good time, killing the Shadow of an entire village would indeed have some negative consequences, however…

"When you finish filming, you should be careful. Or you could teach Kisame to do it. That guy's strength is average; his eyes are the main thing."

"I know."

Obito nodded slightly.

……

Mei Terumi was unable to reach an agreement immediately.

but.

The information she received from Tsunade was already a great gain for her, and Konoha's attitude clearly showed that they hoped to cooperate with Kirigakure.

Unfortunately.

She never saw Chiba again.

Mei Terumi was very interested in Chiba. Although he was unlikely to betray the village and was extremely cunning, it was hard for a woman not to be attracted to such a talented young man.

"Lord Mizukage, are you with the Hokage?"

"Haha, our exchange was very friendly, and we have basically reached a consensus on some points, but there are still some points that need to be discussed further."

Mei Terumi smiled slightly and looked at Chojuro, "What book were you reading just now?"
