Konoha's Hextech Ninja

If you don't look at it with your naked eye, and only rely on various sensory abilities, you would only think it's a small tree, and wouldn't realize that there's a person standing there.

This clone has been keeping a close eye on the Akatsuki's movements.

At this time, the Akatsuki organization had not yet overthrown Hanzo the Salamander, nor had it seized Amegakure.

But it has already reached a considerable scale.

When Yagami Yoruichi reached the demigod level and decided to take action against the Akatsuki organization, she sent a clone to monitor her.

Yagami Yoruichi possesses the "Fate" ability, which allows him to survey the entire ninja world.

However, this ability is not invincible.

Black Zetsu, and Obito Uchiha who had hidden in another dimension, were both beyond Yagami Yoruichi's ability to remotely sense using [Fate].

If a White Zetsu uses the Mayfly Technique to hide deep underground, as long as it hides deep enough, it can still avoid Yagami Yoruichi's perception.

It was precisely because of these reasons that after Yagami Yoruichi used "Fate" to find Nagato, she sent a clone to lie in wait and monitor the whereabouts of Black Zetsu and Uchiha Obito.

"Black Zetsu has disappeared, and Obito is in the Land of Water."

Yoruichi Yagami's clone waited patiently, muttering to herself, "Once Black Zetsu shows up, I'll make my move. If Obito isn't here, one clone with Eternal will be enough to deal with him."

In Yagami Yoruichi's mind, the biggest threat to the ninja world on the surface was always Black Zetsu.

As for Obito Uchiha, although Yoruichi Yagami was extremely disgusted by his actions, he was not really a threat.

Kamui is indeed very powerful, but he cannot break through the spatial barrier created by Yoruichi Yagami.

As long as your strength reaches the 'Six Paths level' or above, you don't need to be afraid of Obito Uchiha, who hasn't even gathered both Kamui.

Of course, if he were to combine both Kamui, he might cause some trouble.

But Yagami Yoruichi would never give him that opportunity.

"The Akatsuki organization still doesn't have many people at this time."

Yagami Yoruichi observed the Akatsuki's headquarters.

Although people were constantly coming and going, after monitoring for so long, Yagami Yoruichi already had a clear understanding of the Akatsuki's current strength.

Not counting the weaker outer members.

With members possessing Kage-level or near-Kage-level strength, the current Akatsuki organization is far weaker than it was three years later in the original story.

"Nagato's Rinnegan seems to have much weaker eye power than the Rinnegan I stole from Urashiki Otsutsuki..."

"And the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path gives me a vague urge to devour it..."

"It's strange, I never had this feeling before I took over Otsutsuki Urashiki's bloodline and abilities."

As Yagami Yoruichi watched Nagato, she struggled to suppress the urge to devour the Gedo Mazo, analyzing the connection between the Otsutsuki clan and the Ten-Tails.

Chapter 264 Tsunade: You really didn't instigate this?

Leaf.

In front of the Hokage Building.

"Then, I'll leave Gaara and the others to Konoha."

Kazekage Rasa bowed to Tsunade and Yagami Yoruichi and said, "Regarding the treatment costs, please ask Konoha to send the bill to Sunagakure after the treatment is completed, and we will settle the bill as soon as possible."

He had the accompanying medical ninja examine Gaara and the other two's injuries.

According to the medical ninja, Gaara and the other two's injuries were not serious, but they were very troublesome.

Moreover, if left unattended, the chakra pathways will gradually weaken, leading to a decline in strength.

This kind of injury is something that only Elder Chiyo, who has been living in seclusion for many years, could possibly heal, and even then, it's only a possibility, not a guarantee that she could definitely find a cure.

It would be better for Gaara and the other two to stay in Konoha to recover from their injuries.

In terms of medical ninjutsu, Konoha is undoubtedly far superior to other forces in the ninja world.

The leader of Takigakure, Shibuki, who was standing to the side, also bowed and said something similar to that of the Kazekage, Rasa.

If even Sunagakure couldn't help with the injuries, then a small village like Takigakure would be even less able to do anything about them.

After exchanging a few polite words and seeing the person off, Tsunade couldn't help but ask, "What's going on? Why did they attack the Jinchuriki so quickly? Isn't the planned time still up?"

With Tsunade's medical ninjutsu skills, she could tell at a glance that Gaara and the others' injuries were not caused during the battle, but were repaired later.

Even judging from the traces, it is a medical ninjutsu that is inherited from her.

In the entire Hidden Leaf Village, the only ones with this ability are either Shizune or Yoruichi Yagami herself.

"Karin and the others suddenly attacked the Jinchūriki, severely injuring him."

Yagami Yoruichi looked helpless and said, "Both Jinchuriki are injured and have to withdraw from the competition. In order to prevent them from leaving Konoha, this is the only way."

Both Sunagakure and Takigakure only have one team participating in the Chunin Exams.

Once they withdraw from the competition, both the participants and the ninjas who escorted them to Konoha will leave the Land of Fire and return to their own villages as quickly as possible.

Yagami Yoruichi didn't want to go through the trouble of attacking the ninja village and plundering the Jinchuriki again later, so he could only choose to detain the person first.

With the One-Tailed and Seven-Tailed Jinchuriki in hand, once the Akatsuki organization is dealt with, all that's needed is to send the Edo Tensei forces to capture the Three-Tailed, Four-Tailed, Five-Tailed, and Six-Tailed Jinchuriki.

"Karin and the others?" Tsunade looked suspicious. "You really didn't instigate them?"

No wonder Tsunade was suspicious.

If Yoruichi Yagami didn't want this to happen, there was plenty of time to stop it.

Yagami Yoruichi had an embarrassed expression on his face. He couldn't very well say that when Shion and Uzumaki Karin were attacking the Jinchuriki, he was busy having sex with Yuhi Kurenai and didn't pay attention to what was happening there, could he?

"In any case, it will have a slight impact on the plan, but not a major one."

Yagami Yoruichi changed the subject, saying, "I'm all ready. Once we find Black Zetsu, we'll immediately take action against the Akatsuki. If you're interested, you can come and join us."

When the topic of attacking the Akatsuki came up, Tsunade also became somewhat interested and asked, "Nagato and Konan, what do you plan to do with them?"

Obito Uchiha and Black Zetsu must be executed to completely eliminate any future troubles.

Others may not need to.

Hearing that Tsunade's words implied a plea for Nagato and Konan, Yagami Yoruichi asked in confusion, "What? Have you softened?"

"At least I gave them a few pieces of bread back then. Besides, they were just pawns, they didn't even know they were being used." Tsunade rolled her eyes at Yoruichi Yagami and said, "In your heart, am I such a heartless person?"

"If they can face reality and are willing to surrender, it's not that we can't spare them."

Yagami Yoruichi thought about it and realized that at this time, the Akatsuki organization had not done anything unforgivable.

At most, he served as a 'mercenary', helping a few ninja villages with a series of small-scale war missions.

However, their main activities are confined to the Land of Earth and a few surrounding smaller countries, and have little direct impact on the interests of the Land of Fire and Konoha.

Letting Nagato and the others go is understandable.

However, the prerequisite is that Nagato, Konan, and the others must be able to recognize reality and be willing to surrender to Konoha.

If Nagato still dreams of collecting tailed beasts to become a god, Yoruichi Yagami will show no mercy.

Tsunade hesitated for a moment, then said, "If we let Jiraiya try to persuade them, it should be easier to convince them."

“Jiraiya’s own stance isn’t firm, so how can we expect him to persuade others?” Yagami Yoruichi shook his head and said, “Before killing the Sage of Six Paths, let Jiraiya stay in prison obediently. Although Jiraiya’s strength is not enough to pose any threat, I don’t want to cause trouble for myself.”

If Jiraiya were to escape and side with Mount Myōboku to fight against me, it would inevitably cause some trouble.

Although it might only be a few minor inconveniences that don't affect the overall situation, it can still be quite annoying.

Tsunade sensed the warning in Yagami Yoruichi's words and couldn't help but glare at him, saying with displeasure, "Don't forget, I am the Hokage!"

“But you can’t beat me.” Yagami Yoru glanced at Tsunade and reminded her, “My clone is personally guarding Jiraiya, so don’t even think about sneaking him out. As for Nagato and Konan, after we defeat Akatsuki, I’ll give you a chance to persuade them to surrender. Whether you can do it or not is up to you.”

At this stage, the Akatsuki organization has insufficient members, and their quality varies greatly.

The only people Yagami Yoruichi truly wanted to kill were Obito Uchiha and Black Zetsu.

As for the others, they can be killed or not, it all depends on whether they can be used by me.

Tsunade nodded and said, "Remember to call me when you attack Akatsuki."

"This is a list of core members of the Akatsuki organization and their known abilities. You should study it in advance. Some of their abilities are quite unique, and even you could fall victim to them if you're not careful."

Yagami Yoruichi took out a document and handed it to Tsunade.

This information was gathered by Yagami Yoruichi during her time monitoring Nagato and Uchiha Obito.

The Akatsuki organization at this time was not particularly strong.

Aside from Nagato, Obito Uchiha, Zetsu, and Konan, there are only a handful of others who can be considered to have the strength of an elite Jonin or higher.

In the original work, Yagami Yoruichi was only familiar with two Akatsuki members: Kakuzu and Juzo Biwa.

Perhaps due to the butterfly effect caused by Yoruichi Yagami, Obito Uchiha remained in Kirigakure. As a result, Juzo Biwa was not sent to Kirigakure to gather intelligence, and the famous scene of 'cutting the Tailed Beast Ball' never happened. He has lived to this day.

In addition, there is Raiga Kurosuki, a former member of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, Hiruko, a rogue ninja from Konoha, and Natsumi, a rogue ninja from Hoshigakure in the Land of Bears.

There's another one, someone I don't know where they found, a taijutsu ninja with very strong skills, probably comparable to Might Guy in his Sixth Gate state, whose name is unknown, and whose code name in the Akatsuki organization is 'Three'.

There were ten people in total, which just met the number requirement for the 'Nine Seals of the Illusionary Dragon'.

As for Hidan, Deidara, and Itachi Uchiha, who were originally core members of the Akatsuki organization, the former two are probably still nowhere in the ninja world right now.

Meanwhile, Itachi Uchiha is still living peacefully in Konoha, currently serving as the vice-captain of the Uchiha Police Force.

Originally a member of the Anbu, at Yagami Yoruichi's suggestion, Tsunade promoted Uchiha Shisui to captain of her own direct Anbu unit, and took the opportunity to kick Uchiha Itachi out of the Anbu and send him back to the police force.

Among the core members of the Akatsuki organization today.

Tsunade definitely couldn't defeat Nagato or Obito Uchiha.

Even if you know the information, it's useless.

Faced with these two mechanic-obsessed characters, Tsunade, a ninja who relies entirely on stats, has absolutely no way to deal with them until her stats become so high that they can break the mechanics.

Zetsu's existence is also very special, and his combat strength is highly variable.

If the other players had prior knowledge of the situation, Tsunade would have a very high chance of winning in a one-on-one fight.

Just be careful not to get tricked by their special abilities.

“Hiruko?” Tsunade saw a familiar name on the list, and a small, thin figure came to mind.
