The imposing and dignified Raikage was issuing orders.

"Send out all the able-bodied people and kill all those bastards!"

"If necessary, I can bring Bi along. In short, no matter what those things are or who is behind them, I just want an answer."

The man was sweating profusely. "But if we send all our men out, the village's defenses will be greatly weakened..."

"Humph!"

He was interrupted by Raikage before he could finish speaking, "With me here to keep watch, who would dare to come and die!"

"Yes...yes."

. . . . . .

The Land of Earth, Hidden Rock Village.

"Lord Tsuchikage, should we remain inactive? The number of civilian casualties has been rising steadily these days."

Onoki, dressed as a little old man, looked puzzled.

Could it be that he guessed wrong?

These mysterious creatures that suddenly appeared out of nowhere were not a prank by the other ninja villages, and their attempts to "fish" for them these past few days have failed to lure out the mastermind behind them.

To be on the safe side, he should have waited a few more days.

But as his subordinates said, his indifferent observation over the past few days had already caused quite a few people to have complaints in private.

If he continues to sit idly by, he worries that before he catches any fish, public resentment will erupt.

Left with no other choice, Onoki had to suppress his doubts and issue a new order.

"Let Huang Tu lead the team to rescue people. If they encounter difficulties, they can retreat immediately. Any suspicious or unusual things must be reported to me immediately."

"Yes, Lord Tsuchikage!"

Upon hearing that Lord Tsuchikage had finally changed his mind, his subordinates immediately left happily.

Onoki wasn't angry when he saw this, after all, people who weren't in his position couldn't understand his thoughts and decisions.

What if this is an enemy plot, and they suddenly attack the village after sending out most of their forces?

No matter how high the probability is, as the Tsuchikage, he must consider it carefully as long as such a possibility exists.

Being suspicious is not a bad thing.

. . . . . . .

The Land of Wind, Sunagakure Village.

"Gentlemen, I believe that this incident is both a crisis and an opportunity for us in Sunagakure!"

At the meeting, Rasa, the Fourth Kazekage, was speaking passionately and eloquently, making no attempt to hide the ambition in his eyes.

The Land of Wind is so poor!

He was so poor that the Kazekage, one of the five great ninja villages, had to refine gold dust every day to exchange for money as the village's daily operating expenses.

Looking at all the Kage of the major ninja villages throughout history, none of them have fared as badly as him!

Therefore, his greatest wish is to make Sunagakure rich and powerful, so that he can get rid of the identity of 'tool Kage' and not have to spend time and effort extracting gold dust like a worker every day.

In the past, he simply couldn't see any opportunities.

But things are different now; people only see the harm caused by these unidentified creatures.

Only he saw an opportunity, a world transformation!

Bang!

Luo Sha slammed his hands on the table. "I propose that we immediately establish a new department to concentrate all remaining resources on capturing and researching these new creatures."

"Try to enslave them, try to transform them!"

"If we can find a way to utilize the power of the Tailed Beasts, why can't we utilize other powers?"

"Even if we take a step back and only find the direction for making new types of puppets on the enemy, it would be enough to greatly enhance our military strength!"

There was actually one more thing that Luo Sha didn't say.

That is, if the plan does not go smoothly, he may even accept cooperating with the other party, if the 'other party' really exists or has intelligence comparable to that of humans.

Since most of the Land of Wind is just worthless sand, he doesn't care at all.

Before long, most people were convinced by Luo Sha.

A show of hands—passes!

. . . . . .

The Land of Water, the Hidden Mist Village.

"Lady Terumi Mei, you can't go!"

"Don't try to persuade me anymore. With Master Yuan here, it's the same even without me."

"But...but you are the Mizukage, how can you do such a thing yourself?"

Mei Terumi, exuding an aura of mature elegance, nonchalantly pushed open the door and stepped out. "If I can't even protect my own people, what kind of Mizukage am I? Tell Master Genji that if anything happens to me, just choose another Mizukage. Anyway, I'm only an acting Mizukage right now."

"Ah...this..."

For various reasons, the Hidden Mist Village has fallen into severe decline.

Even though the internal strife has been largely quelled, the mess left behind is not easy to clean up, and it will take several years to recover.

This has resulted in Kirigakure having very few manpower available for deployment.

Therefore, after the large-scale 'monster attacks' incident, Kirigakure's response was extremely inadequate.

Left with no other choice, Mei Terumi, the Mizukage, decided to personally intervene.

The five great ninja villages and their respective Kage all made what they believed to be the best response, thus ushering in a new chapter in the ninja world!

[Chapter Sixty-Two: A Good Show]

Regardless of whether the five great ninja villages' response was correct, it was undoubtedly very timely and effective compared to other small countries and ninja villages.

As cursed spirits began to emerge one after another, the most affected were actually the small countries that had little ability to protect themselves.

When the rulers of a country are unable to protect the lives of their people, even greater unrest will occur.

It was at this critical juncture that some individuals or forces also realized the existence of an opportunity.

For example, an organization called Akatsuki began to be hired by some small countries to hunt down unknown monsters and help these countries restore stability.

It is highly praised because of its extremely high efficiency.

For example, an organization called the Cult of Evil Gods took the opportunity to expand rapidly, acquiring a lot of money and offerings.

Because of its doctrines and propaganda, it has attracted quite a few powerful scoundrels to join.

Logically speaking, the expansion of the Jashin Cult should be a good thing for Hidan.

However, the conflict between Takihata, the leader of the Jashin Cult, and Hidan is actually increasing...

Within the base.

With a loud bang!

A slick-back-haired young man with a gloomy face kicked down the door and walked out of a room.

Inside, the leader of the Takihata Cult was gritting his teeth, his face ashen.

The matter is quite simple: the evil god cult has recently recruited quite a few people, hasn't it?

People with a bit of power are usually arrogant and don't restrain themselves when they arrive in a new place. Instead, they try to show off their strength and status.

These people are just unlucky; of all people they could pick, they had to go and cause trouble for Hidan.

The elderly people naturally gloated and chose to stand by and watch, and no one would remind them.

So Hidan sent all those who came looking for trouble to meet the Jashin.

This matter should have ended there.

Unexpectedly, among those who died were relatives who had been hiding nearby and survived.

That very night, they sneaked over and stabbed Hidan.

Although Hidan wasn't injured and even managed to kill his opponent immediately, this incident still thoroughly enraged him.

This also made him feel that the group of people who joined later did not believe in the evil god at all, but were heretics!

Unable to sleep, he simply picked up the Bloodstained March Scythe and went out, then killed all the Protestants under the cover of night.

Not a single one escaped!

Two veterans who wanted to persuade Hidan were also involved.

When Takihata arrived at the scene, he saw Hidan, covered in blood, devoutly praying to the evil god.

Not a single person in the surrounding crowd dared to utter a sound...

Because anyone who dared to utter a word was lying on the ground.

Takihata was very angry at the time, but what angered him the most and made him feel that things were out of control was that Hidan had started to disobey his orders.

In the end, it was Shinji Akagi who intervened and persuaded Hidan to go back to rest.

Since then, the leader of the Takihata Cult has noticed that the way people look at him is subtly strange.

In such a concentration camp for murderers, the law of the jungle is the basic rule.

If he can't suppress Hidan, others will naturally follow suit, and then no one will respect him anymore.

Hidan was one of the only two successful products he obtained after sacrificing so many lives, and he didn't want to break ties with Hidan unless absolutely necessary.

So the next day, after thinking about it all night, Takihata decided to talk to Hidan first.

After all, there were reasons for what happened yesterday, and Hidan's bad attitude could be because he had just killed someone.

As long as Hidan is still willing to obey his orders and still calls him "Master," then he can forgive all the mistakes Hidan made yesterday.

However, Hidan had long been dissatisfied with this guy.
