Konoha: Tsunade, I am the Hokage

Underground.

"My lord, they have agreed to the plan, but what should we do? Should we seal the tailed beasts directly inside the golem?"

"Of course not."

Madara Uchiha coughed, then said in a low voice, "Konoha reminded me of this: we don't need to extract all the tailed beasts' chakra."

"You mean, each tailed beast jinchūriki only draws a portion of its power?"

"Just extract most of it, and use the rest to maintain their vitality and prevent them from dying directly."

"That's what Ban said."

Then, he looked at Black Zetsu: "Right now, we need to do something more important."

"Nagato?"

"Um."

Ban leaned back in the chair, trying to regain his strength.

Then, he said coldly, "Bring his eyes back."

"But we haven't found Nagato's location yet."

"This is not difficult."

Madara chuckled softly and said, "Since Nagato isn't in Amegakure, the Land of Birds, or Konoha, there's only one place left."

The three holy sites.

Mount Myoboku, controlled by Jiraiya!

Because only Jiraiya had a relatively close relationship with Nagato, which allowed him to make Nagato cooperate obediently.

"Mt. Myoboku?"

Black Zetsu naturally thought of that.

However, he knew very well when he should pretend to be a little foolish.

He feigned a sudden realization.

After thinking for a while, Black Zetsu said, "Then, I understand what to do!"

"Yes, Jiraiya will definitely use the toads. When that happens, go to Mount Myōboku and confirm the location."

"yes!"

Black Zetsu responded.

Then, he chuckled softly: "Perhaps, I won't need to go to Mount Myōboku; he will appear on his own."

When Jiraiya is in danger, can Nagato remain indifferent?

Obviously impossible.

and so.

The current problem is that Jiraiya is unable to ask Konoha for help.

After pondering for a long time, Black Zetsu said, "I understand. I will further refine this plan to ensure it is foolproof. Also, be prepared with both hands to avoid any mistakes!"

"Um."

Ban closed his eyes wearily.

He needs more time to rest now.

Obito has already been trained to be a talent; if it weren't for Kyohiko's existence, he could have simply gone down to rest for a while.

but.

Yoshimine Kyohiko is currently far too strong, so strong that he doesn't dare close his eyes, for fear of dying if he does...

The next person to arrive was Uchiha Obito.

He has to keep going.

We must hold on!

Ban took a deep breath, gripped the fan in his hand, and his gaze seemed to return to that night in the Valley of the End.

Top it off.

That's truly an incredibly powerful technique!

……

Hidden Mist Village.

"Master, while I'm away, I hope you can take good care of the village. I don't want any problems to arise when I return, understand?"

The real estate agent, a man named Gouju, maintained a cold and indifferent gaze.

As the manipulator in the shadows, Obito knew very well who was most likely to oppose him in Kirigakure at the moment.

The old man in front of me is Master Yuan.

The master's position in Kirigakure was more important than that of several old men in Konoha. If Obito wanted to keep this makeshift team going, he couldn't easily kill him.

But the old man was someone he couldn't find any fault with.

and so.

For now, all he can do is issue a warning to prevent the other party from doing anything foolish.

At such a critical moment, if Master Yuan really makes a foolish mistake and self-destructs, he will certainly not be affected.

but.

The plan to jointly weaken Konoha will result in the loss of a very powerful force.

He could endure in order to carry out the plan to besiege Konoha.

Master Yuan lowered his head, his face full of respect.

"Please rest assured, Lord Mizukage, I will take good care of the village. However, your journey involves the safety of the two tailed beasts, so please be careful..."

"This is a plan agreed upon by the three ninja villages, so there shouldn't be any problems."

Answer from Goji Berry Real-Time Account.

Master Yuan nodded slightly.

Only after watching the ship depart did Master Yuan raise his head and quietly breathe a sigh of relief.

For a brief moment, he almost thought he was going to die.

Hozuki Mangetsu is too young and not very reliable. Sometimes his emotional outbursts might be noticed by the other party.

Just because the other party didn't take any action in the Gouju trading account doesn't mean they were unaware.

This is a warning!

Fortunately, he didn't take any action and prioritized the village's interests above all else.

Back in the office, a young girl entered.

"Master Yuanshi."

"sit."

Master Yuan rubbed his temples, then asked, "How's the situation over there?"

"The opponent is very strong. Although Lady Full Moon's intervention can largely restrain the opponent, but..."

Mei Terumi hesitated for a moment before saying, "The opponent possesses the ability of Ice Release and knows how to use Lightning Release ninjutsu to counter Water Transformation Technique."

"what?"

Master Yuan paused for a moment, then said, "The Snow Clan?"

"Yes."

Terumi Mei nodded.

The master remained silent.

The Yuki clan and Kaguya clan were originally powerful ninja families in their Land of Water, and in earlier years, they had a very good working relationship with Kirigakure.

It wasn't until the Third Mizukage took office that, in the following years, he gradually drifted away from these two families.

And now.

The Snow Clan has reappeared outside.

He sighed.

A few seconds later, he continued, "Is Manyue alright by herself?"

"fine."

Terumi Mei responded.

Master Yuan nodded slightly, then lowered his eyes and said, "The other party must be from Konoha, which means that Konoha has control over the descendants of the Yuki clan..."

"That's true. They've already abducted the Kaguya clan, so taking away the Yuki clan's descendants wouldn't be difficult."

He didn't expect Mei Terumi to answer, but instead talked to himself.

"You and Zabuza go south with the others and Mangetsu and the others, and make a big commotion."

How big?

Mei Terumi paused for a moment.

After thinking for a moment, Master Yuan said, "It would be best to attract the attention of Konoha and get Konoha and Sunagakure to send more people to create the impression that we are going to start a war in the south."

"this……"

Mei Terumi hesitated for a moment.

This is different from what was said before.

Yuan Shi knew what the other party was thinking, and lowered his eyes: "Times have changed. Konoha is indeed too powerful now. It would be good to borrow some strength from them."

"yes!"

……

One by one, the tailed beasts gathered in the north.

Night in Konoha.

Dark area.

One by one, the crows disappeared and then returned.

As they returned, brief messages were sent to Konoha's ANBU intelligence department.

Yamanaka Ino, who had been invited by Kyohiko to oversee the intelligence department of the Dark Division, was currently wearing a solemn expression.

"Even the Jinchuriki of the Tailed Beasts have been mobilized?"

Although on the surface, Onoki claimed that the Jinchuriki of the Tailed Beast had defected, which is why he sent out another Jinchuriki.

But he didn't believe it.

The tailed beast jinchūriki is the core weapon of a village.

That's why Luo Sha sacrificed a group of children, hoping to use this as a bond to preserve the few remaining hometown sentiments of Temari.

The two from Iwagakure are not like Temari; they have a certain degree of loyalty to Iwagakure and would not easily run away.

If he wasn't defecting, what did he want to do?

Suddenly, Yamazaka Hai looked up.

The next second, he vanished from his spot in an instant.

A few seconds later.

"The Jinchūriki defected? Does Onoki think I'm stupid?"

Jingyan gave a cold laugh.

Old Zi's defection in the original timeline is understandable.

At that time, the five great ninja villages were in a very delicate state after the war, and everyone knew that they would not fight each other.

and so.

Onoki dared to have a conflict or disagreement with Rōshi, and allowed Rōshi to wander around outside without rushing to capture him.

The situation is different now.

The three villages of Konoha, Amegakure, and Sunagakure merged into one, and Onoki broke off relations with Roshi again, even letting him escape.

Isn't that stupid?

But is the other side going to play the "soldier disappearance" trick, or are they going to mobilize the tailed beast jinchūriki to do something else unknown?

Jingyan tapped his fingers lightly.

Yamanaka Inoichi stood in front, silent, letting Kyohiko talk to himself and sort out the intelligence.

He wasn't sure what to do.

Otherwise, Haiyi would have made the decision himself.

A moment later, Kyohiko's tone turned serious.

"Senior Inoichi, whatever he does, let's do our own thing."

"How so?"

Haiyi was somewhat puzzled.

Jingyan said, "Let's continue dredging the river and push it out. We can't worry about their actions for now!"

"That?"

"What Madara needs to do is nothing more than a few things, and no matter what, it all comes back to the same point in the end."

Konoha!

No matter how much power Madara obtained from the Tailed Beasts, the power from the One-Tailed Beast and the Nine-Tailed Beast was not enough to support Madara in completing the Six Paths Sage Mode.

Also.

There's another point that's inconvenient to discuss with Hai Yidao—

Nagato!

The Rinnegan is also something Madara most desires to reclaim.

even.

Madara's eagerness for the Rinnegan even predates his desire for the Tailed Beasts.

after all.

Without the Rinnegan, Madara would be unable to reseal the Tailed Beasts, and obtaining all nine would be futile.

Right now, there's a problem—

How to remove the binding curse on Nagato!

Based on Kyohiko's understanding of Madara, Nagato definitely possesses a restraining talisman used for control. If Black Zetsu or Madara gets close...

Nagato will be immediately brought under control.

The only way he knew to break the binding spell was to pierce the heart.

Even with the monstrous physique of the Uzumaki clan, a pierced heart will cause someone to die quickly and be difficult to repair.

Unless Nagato learns Tsunade's Creation Regeneration.

With the help of Creation and Regeneration, combined with the chakra sent by his Hundred Healings Technique, he temporarily achieved immortality and rapid healing.

In this way, they could destroy the binding spells while allowing Nagato to survive.

of course.

There is another way.

Gouge out the eye directly!

After thinking for a moment, Jingyan said, "Senior Haiyi, please have someone increase the surveillance of the tailed beast jinchūriki of Kirigakure and Kumogakure."

"yes!"

Hai disappeared in an instant.

Jingyan also disappeared using the Flying Thunder God technique.

……

Konoha, Hokage's office.

"So, you think they're going to gather the Tailed Beasts and start a new war?"

"That's probably right. Madara has the ability to control tailed beasts, so they're likely cooperating further now."

"Kyohiko said."

Tsunade looked at the map, her gaze sweeping across it.

If they're going to take action...

"Jiraiya?"

"Jiraiya-sensei is closest to the north, and there's another advantage to attacking Jiraiya-sensei."

Kyohiko looked at Tsunade, "Nagato!"

"Those eyes?"

Tsunade paused for a second.

Then, she frowned: "The matter of the Rinnegan is just your speculation..."

Previously, Kyohiko had indeed speculated about the Rinnegan.

The Uzumaki clan, despite its long history, does not possess a bloodline limit like eye techniques.

in contrast.

The stone tablet of the Uchiha clan mentions the origins of the Uchiha and Senju clans.

The Sage of Six Paths!

and so.

According to genetics, the Uchiha clan, who also possess eye techniques, are most likely to inherit the Rinnegan, followed by the Senju clan.

Finally, there is the Uzumaki clan, which is a distant relative of the Senju clan.

but.

This conjecture was too shocking to believe, even with Tsunade's vivid imagination, and she clearly remembered—

Madara had Sharingan back then.

It can't be evolution, can it?

Now Kyohiko is bringing this up again...

"Sister, what I'm talking about isn't whose eyes they are, but that the Sage of Six Paths created the Tailed Beasts using his own power."

Jingyan said seriously, "With Madara's abilities and wisdom, as long as he possesses both the Tailed Beasts and the Sharingan, he might be able to restore the Tailed Beasts to the power of the Sage of Six Paths."

Black Zetsu had contact with Nagato and Yahiko.

Tsunade already knew this information beforehand.

and so.

At this moment, Tsunade also connected this idea with Kyohiko's words and figured out Madara's possible actions.

Nagato, the Tailed Beast.

For freckles, both are indispensable!

She took a deep breath and asked, "What do you want me to do?"

"I plan to talk to Nagato first. Also, we need to take precautions with the teachers to prevent them from targeting the north first."

"Don't worry, I'll make the preparations. You go and talk to Nagato first and see what we should do."

Tsunade took a deep breath and said, "If all else fails, just destroy Nagato's eyes!"

Rather than letting Madara and his gang get it, it's better to destroy it in their hands once and for all.

"Um."

……

To the north, the river channel was gradually dredged.

Jiraiya bid farewell to Muwa and prepared to continue his travels in the north, while also inquiring about the movements of Iwagakure and Kumogakure.

result.

The next second, a surge of chakra flowed.

He now had an extra scroll at his waist.

The Flying Thunder God Technique of Konoha.

Jiraiya took it out, and after looking at it, his expression immediately became serious.

Has the Hidden Stone Village deployed its tailed beasts?

This news...

He took a deep breath and realized something was wrong.

Whether the Jinchuriki of the Tailed Beasts from Iwagakure are truly defecting or feigning defection, it is not a good thing for Konoha.

This means that chaos is about to break out in the north again!

The first to be affected is the Land of Grass.

"Fortunately, Jingyan's intelligence network is strong; otherwise, if we hadn't received the news a day or two later, the north might have already been attacked."

Jiraiya felt a sense of relief.

In ninja warfare, intelligence is the most crucial element.

Jingyan's arrangements played a crucial role at this moment, helping them gain valuable time.

He quickly came up with an idea, took out a scroll, and wrote down his thoughts on it.

Then, Jiraiya quickly summoned a toad and sent the scroll out.

but.

He didn't notice that the moment the toad appeared, a dark mass was observing from the shadows.

It quickly disappeared behind the toad, taking advantage of the darkness to hide.

The next instant, as the toad was sent back by a psychic spell, it also vanished without a trace.

Mt. Miaomu.

Black Zetsu followed the toad to this magical place.

It quickly remembered.

These toads...

Isn't he one of the culprits who killed his mother?

These toads were still alive!

Black Zetsu was furious.

It could even sense the old toad's presence! (End of Chapter)
