Naruto: The whole world knows I am the savior

Chapter 93 The Akatsuki Organization Splits

"Peace talks?"

"Yes, this is Lord Raikage's intention. Due to certain reasons on your side, if the war continues, it will only result in mutual destruction. Therefore, Lord Raikage hopes to end this war."

Upon hearing the words of the Cloud Ninja envoy, Nara Shikaku couldn't help but click his tongue in amazement.

He remembered that the Cloud Ninja were very troublesome. The peace talks a few years ago had caused Konoha to suffer a great loss, and they had even forced the younger brother of the Hyuga clan leader to his death, and his body had been sent out.

This time, the Cloud Ninja initiated the war, but were forced to take the initiative to negotiate, which was truly unpredictable.

It seems that Shirokumo Yosuke's behavior was unacceptable to the Cloud Ninja. Even the volatile Raikage had to submit. Nara Shikaku couldn't help but laugh to himself. Indeed, evil people need evil to be dealt with.

"Lord Nara?"

Seeing that Nara Shikaku had not spoken yet, Tsuchikage pressed on again, "What is Konoha's view on the peace talks? Kumogakure is not without the strength to fight. If it weren't for the Daimyo's insistence, we would be fighting you right now."

Fearing that the Hidden Cloud Village would be looked down upon, Tsuchida's tone carried a hint of threat, and he himself was also angry.

How could ninjas resort to such despicable means? By threatening the daimyo and nobles, they will surely spread the word about Konoha's actions throughout the entire ninja world. Then we'll see if any nobles will still feel comfortable entrusting missions to Konoha.

"Since the Cloud Ninja still has the strength to start a war, why bother with peace talks? To put it bluntly, this war is a surrender for you."

Nara Shikaku said in a deep voice, "The difference between peace talks and defeat is huge. From the current perspective, the Cloud Ninja are more inclined towards the latter."

"Even if the war ends, it should be the Hidden Cloud Village that is defeated. Lord Tsuchidai, I hope the Hidden Cloud Village understands this."

Upon hearing this, Tsuchikage clenched his fist in anger, stared coldly at Nara Shikaku for a few seconds, and then spoke: "If that's the case, the Cloud Ninja might be able to send a Jinchuriki to infiltrate the Land of Fire and then launch a Tailed Beast Ball at the capital of the Land of Fire!"

"You were the ones who broke the rules first. If it weren't for the sake of peace, Lord Raikage would have dealt with you in the same way long ago. In terms of strength, Konoha is no match for Kumogakure. I hope you don't forget that."

After Tsuchikage's forceful response, Nara Shikaku felt a chill and dropped his aggressive attitude, saying to Tsuchikage, "I cannot give you an answer to this matter for now. I will reply to your village after I have consulted with the Hokage."

"Alright, let's talk again in three days. Hopefully, Konoha will be able to give the Raikage a reply by then."

After Tsuchikage finished speaking, he left the Konoha camp under the guidance of the Konoha ninja. Now that the Cloud Ninja army was no longer gathering at the border, it didn't matter that the Konoha camp had been exposed.

Once everyone left, Nara Shikaku sent someone to invite Tsunade and the others to discuss the matter, and also to record the peace talks and send the information back to the village.

Others' opinions are merely supplementary; Tsunade's attitude cannot be ignored, after all, she deserves the most credit for the end of this war.

Although ending the war was almost entirely the work of Yosuke Shirakumo, he was not a Konoha ninja and did not have a good relationship with the Konoha leadership, so Shikaku Nara tacitly attributed the blame to Tsunade.

----------

The battlefield in the Land of Grass was even more intense than that in the Land of Rice Fields. As soon as the Konoha and the allied forces of Grass Ninja and Rock Ninja clashed, a fierce battle ensued.

Fierce battles have broken out near the essential route to the Land of Fire, with powerful ninjas unleashing terrifying ninjutsu that resembles a natural disaster.

"Fire Release: Head Carving!"

The nature mask, wrapped in black lines, opened its mouth, and the flames it spat out instantly turned into a raging sea of ​​fire upon contact with the ground, rushing towards Jiraiya.

"Jiraiya, watch out!"

Gamabunta shouted a warning, then leaped in front of Jiraiya, forcing Kakuzu back with a single strike before unleashing a ninjutsu: "Water Release: Iron Cannon Bullet!"

Bang!Bang!

Two massive water balloons quickly extinguished part of the fire, stopping the raging inferno.

Jiraiya immediately jumped onto Gamabunta's head and said, "Thank you, Gamabunta."

Gamabunta said angrily, "Where did these guys come from? That shark-faced human's water jutsu is also very powerful. Jiraiya, you'd better watch out."

"Shark face? Is this stinky toad talking about me?"

Kisame jumped to Kakuzu's side, carrying Samehada with a disgruntled expression, and said to Kisame, "Besides you, who else here has a shark face? But why can't you even hold back a toad?"

"This is Jiraiya's summoning beast, one of the Legendary Sannin. It's troublesome. Most of my Water Release techniques are useless against it."

Despite saying that, Kisame was still furious about being held back by a toad.

"Let me also experience the legendary Sannin! Water Release: Great Exploding Water Impact!"

A massive amount of chakra gathered in Kisame's throat, and then a tsunami-like torrent of water erupted from his mouth. Even Kakuzu, standing nearby, was astonished by the sheer scale of this water-style technique.

"That shark-faced guy has such a massive amount of chakra!"

Jiraiya shared the same thought as Kakuzu: if they couldn't stop this water-style ninjutsu, the Konoha ninjas in the distance would be in trouble.

"Bunta, use oil!"

"knew!"

The man and the toad simultaneously refined chakra, then their cheeks bulged as they unleashed a combined ninjutsu: "Fire Release: Toad Oil Flame Bullet!"

Boom boom boom!

In an instant, the massive waves of fire and the tsunami-like torrent collided, the scorching flames burning away a large amount of water, and the resulting mist dissipated instantly.

Hundreds of meters, thousands of meters, the fog quickly spread to a distance of ten kilometers, and the thick fog enveloped the main battlefield of the Konoha ninja and the Iwa and Kusanagi ninja.

"This fog is awful!"

Danzo frowned slightly; the thick fog completely obscured his vision, affecting even him.

However, having experienced countless battles, Danzo, with his keen senses, still managed to detect the shuriken approaching from the mist.

Ding ding ding ding!

Danzo also threw out several shuriken to block the incoming shuriken. The next second, he took out a kunai, poured wind release chakra into it, and used wind release: vacuum blade.

Clang!

The wind-style kunai and the short sword collided, producing a loud metallic clang.

Danzo glared sharply at the person who had attacked him from behind: "Uchiha Itachi, have you now turned against Konoha?!"

"This is an order from the organization."

Itachi Uchiha's three-tomoe eyes slowly moved, and he said coldly, "The leader's orders cannot be disobeyed!"

"An organization? The fact that Konoha ninjas were constantly being ambushed and their hiding barriers were discovered was your doing, wasn't it?"

Danzo's gaze was terrifyingly cold, and he said sternly, "Evil Uchiha, your clan deserves to be wiped out. After I kill you, I will go back and destroy the last Uchiha!"

"You're the last Uchiha Danzo. If you dare do this, then die here!"

Itachi Uchiha's eyes were icy cold, and his three-tomoe jade pendants suddenly began to spin rapidly.

Danzo quickly realized something was wrong, his body stiffened as if he had been nailed to the spot by several huge nails.

"Golden Binding Illusion Technique!"

Itachi Uchiha withdrew his short sword and raised it high, coldly staring at Danzo, saying, "You shouldn't have had this thought, Danzo."

"Wind Release: Wind Blade!"

An invisible blade suddenly attacked. Itachi Uchiha frowned, but still swung his sword and retreated.

His judgment was absolutely correct; the short sword he swung was sliced ​​in two upon contact with the wind blade; if he hadn't jumped away, he would have been injured as well.

"Lord Danzo, are you alright?"

After forcing Itachi Uchiha to retreat, Maki went to Danzo's side, intending to help him break free of the genjutsu.

However, Danzo suddenly spoke up, "I'm fine now, thank you for your help."

Uchiha Itachi was somewhat surprised to see that Danzo had already broken his genjutsu, then quickly locked onto Danzo's right eye, which was hidden under bandages.

"Danzo, could it be you?"

"Uchiha Itachi, you're going to die here today! Cover me!"

After saying that, Danzo threw out two Wind Release shuriken and attacked Uchiha Itachi; while Maki covered Danzo from the side. Although the fog was thick just now, it did not continue to dissipate and slowly dissipated.

This was just a separate battlefield that Jiraiya and the others deliberately chose to fight here in order to avoid a direct confrontation between the two sides.

On the main battlefield, the number of dead and wounded would have been far greater than it is now.

Iwa ninja are skilled in combined ninjutsu. Even a D-rank Earth Release technique can unleash terrifying power when used by dozens of Iwa ninja in combination.

In this respect, Konoha ninjas are far inferior, and Konoha suffers losses in this aspect in every Shinobi World War.

The fighting continued until sunset and darkness fell, and only then did it slowly come to an end.

It's only been one day of fighting; it might continue tomorrow or the day after.

------------

Konoha, Hokage's office.

After Nara Shikaku's message was sent back to Konoha, it led to a long discussion among Hiruzen Sarutobi, Koharu Utatane, and Homura Mitokado.

The fact that the Cloud Ninja were willing to negotiate was excellent news for them.

Moreover, the number of casualties on the battlefield in the Land of Rice Fields was not large. Compared to the Cloud Ninja losing thousands of ninjas, the Leaf Village suffered only a hundred casualties, making it a resounding victory.

The only thing that made Hiruzen Sarutobi and the others somewhat choked up was that the victory in this war was almost entirely orchestrated by Yosuke Shirakumo.

"Yan, it seems we have no choice but to agree to the peace talks with Kumogakure. However, we can't let them admit defeat; it would be a real shame to impose some compensation."

Two battle reports lay before Hiruzen Sarutobi. One was from the Land of Rice Fields, which brought him joy and relief; however, the situation in the Land of Grass was not good, putting great pressure on Konoha.

The Iwa ninja were already difficult to deal with, but they also hired several powerful rogue ninja, including Itachi Uchiha.

"Itachi, you've appeared on the opposing side of Konoha. Are you trying to break our promise?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi was puzzled. He didn't want to suspect Itachi Uchiha, but the news that came back told him that Itachi Uchiha had killed Konoha ninjas many times.

"Let's end this war as soon as possible, Hiruzen."

Mitomon Homura said, "The Cloud Ninja are all a bunch of grumpy people. It's too difficult to get them to admit defeat. Let's end this battle as soon as possible and reinforce the battlefield in the Land of Grass."

Koharu, unwilling to give up, asked, "Are we just going to let the Cloud Ninja go like this? They started the war, and we won, but we're not asking for anything in return? I'm afraid the villagers will be very hostile towards us."

"At critical moments, special decisions are needed, and the battlefield in the Land of Grass is what we need to deal with most."

Mitomon Homura shook his head and said, "It's fortunate that the Cloud Ninja and the Iwa Ninja didn't form an alliance, otherwise the Grass Country wouldn't have been able to hold on by now. Hiruzen, we must make a decision as soon as possible."

Hiruzen Sarutobi sighed and extinguished his pipe. He quickly made a decision: "Send a message to Shikaku to sign a peace treaty with Kumogakure, and then come back as soon as possible. En, Koharu, we still need to provide support on the battlefield in the Land of Grass. You two draft a plan."

"Alright, then we'll transfer another three hundred men from the village and another three hundred from the troops that retreated from the battlefield in the Land of Rice Fields. With Tsunade included, that should be enough to deal with the current situation."

Hiruzen Sarutobi nodded and said, "Then let's do it that way."

--------------

It seems that it rains more frequently in Amegakure after the village changed its leader.

However, apart from the ninjas who were attached to Hanzo and their families, the continuous heavy rain had little effect on them.

Brush brush!

Countless sheets of paper gathered inside the tallest lighthouse in Amegakure, eventually transforming into Konan, who wore a black coat with red clouds.

"Xiao Nan, you're back! How did you do?"

Just as Konan appeared, a figure emerged from the darkness inside the tower—Pain, the apparent leader of Amegakure.

Before Konan could reply, Pain continued, "Let's go in first."

"Um."

Konan nodded and followed Payne inside, where they saw Nagato walking towards them.

Since being possessed by Tobi, Nagato has been practicing walking and jumping in private, and now his original body has returned to its previous agility.

"How's it going, Xiao Nan?"

Nagato asked again, saying that there was some information he couldn't completely trust Zetsu with, and he could only rely on Konan; he thought he had controlled Tobi with his Rinnegan, but Nagato didn't expect that this was something Black Zetsu had deliberately instructed Tobi to do.

In this way, Black Zetsu could steal information from Nagato at any time. When it comes to the use of the Rinnegan, Nagato was far inferior to Madara Uchiha.

"As expected, Itachi Uchiha completed his mission very well. He provided a lot of information about the Konoha ninjas, and Konoha is on the verge of collapse."

Konan went to the battlefield in the Land of Grass to monitor Itachi Uchiha.

After learning that Madara Uchiha was Obito Uchiha, Nagato was not very at ease with Itachi Uchiha, whom Obito had recruited. So he gave him the task of dealing with Konoha and sent Konan to monitor him.

"Konoha is about to collapse, especially since Iwa ninja are planning to send more troops to crush Konoha in one fell swoop."

Nagato asked, "Do you know why the Iwa ninja did this?"

Konan nodded, then shook her head and said, "I know. It's because a man named Shirakumo Yosuke has already told me the information he found."

"This is Tsunade's disciple, one of the three legendary Sannin. He should be ten years old now. Just a few days ago, he fought against the Fourth Raikage and the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki in Kumogakure. He was ultimately defeated and used the Flying Thunder God Technique to teleport away. But this Yosuke Shirakumo previously massacred the Daimyo's residence and the homes of various nobles and ministers in the Land of Lightning."

"Furthermore, there are rumors that the reason these ninja villages are vying for Hakugumo Yosuke is because many people have dreamt of the future, in which Hakugumo Yosuke seems to be the leader of the ninja world."

Konan told Nagato all the information she had gathered, and this wealth of information immediately put Nagato into deep thought.

After a while, Nagato finally spoke, asking, "The future? The leader of the ninja world? What's going on?"

Konan shook her head and said, "I don't know. This information is well protected by each ninja village. Zetsu only found out about it by accident from the Iwa ninja. I don't know much else."

"So."

Just as Nagato was about to say something, his expression suddenly changed. He quickly sat back in his wheelchair and had Pain stand in front of him.

Konan and Nagato worked together seamlessly, immediately sensing Nagato's intentions and looking towards the entrance with great vigilance.

Da, da,

The footsteps grew closer, and then Obito, wearing a mask, walked in.

"They're all here. Good, that saves us the waiting time. Nagato, temporarily end this mission and gather the Akatsuki members to intercept and kill someone."

When Obito Uchiha walked in, he saw Konan and Nagato sitting in a wheelchair, and spoke to them directly in Madara Uchiha's voice.

Nagato and Konan exchanged a glance, and then Nagato asked, "Who are we trying to intercept, Mr. Madara?"

Obito Uchiha said coldly, "Tsunade's disciple, one of the Legendary Sannin. They will be returning to the Land of Fire soon, and we will kill them on the way."

"Him? Why would he attack the disciples of the Three Legendary Sannin? And why would he want us to end the commission? This is detrimental to Akatsuki's plans."

"Not killing this person would be detrimental to Akatsuki's plans, as he will hinder Akatsuki's collection of the Tailed Beasts in the future."

Obito Uchiha said in a deep voice, "Do as I say. After eliminating this person, you can go into hiding for a while, so the Five Great Shinobi Villages won't..."

"Obito-san, you must have wanted the Akatsuki to ambush Tsunade's disciple because of your own personal grudge."

Nagato suddenly interrupted Obito Uchiha, saying...

Obito Uchiha was startled. His Sharingan beneath the mask stared intently at Nagato. What shocked him was not that Nagato had exposed his purpose, but that he had called out his name.

"Who told you that, you bastard?"

"It doesn't matter who told me, but the Akatsuki is not something you can use. It's the organization I want to use to achieve my ideals."

Nagato said coldly to Obito Uchiha

"Ideals? Nagato, your ideals are too naive. Only under my guidance can ultimate peace be achieved."

Konan couldn't help but interrupt, "Obito Uchiha, you're nothing but a ghost who didn't die on the battlefield. Only Nagato can guide the world to peace!"

"asshole."

Upon hearing these words, Obito Uchiha was reminded of unpleasant memories, and the Sharingan beneath his mask transformed into a Mangekyou Sharingan pattern.

But the next second, Pain suddenly stood in front of Obito Uchiha, raised his hand and pointed it at him, only then did Nagato speak.

"Obito Uchiha, I know your abilities. If you intend to fight, you have no chance of winning!"
