Start with a Zanpakuto and build the strongest Mist Village.

Due to a series of incidents, the organization's prestige has been severely damaged.

First, there was the defeat and death of Kakuzu and Sasori. Although Sasori returned, this event still had a huge impact on Akatsuki.

The second is the organization of the members.

Currently, besides Konan, Pain, and Zetsu, the Akatsuki only has Sasori, Orochimaru, and Hiruko as members, leaving four vacant spots.

Exposing the organization at this stage would definitely be detrimental to Akatsuki's development.

Chapter 151 Mizuki Yoru VS Pain!

Black Zetsu is indeed right.

The Akatsuki organization at this time is not even in its complete form. Obito (Madara) is hiding in the shadows and is not a formal member. With Konan and Zetsu not moving, Orochimaru, Hiruko, and Sasori alone cannot pose a significant threat to the Three Kage.

Needless to say, before the enhancement of the Celestial Phenomenon Power, Hiruko's Oni-Garra Technique was only a preliminary attempt, and his strength was only that of an elite Jonin.

Scorpions fared even worse.

Although he was successfully brought back to Akatsuki by Obito and his life was spared, all his puppets had long been removed by Kirigakure, including the Third Kazekage's puppet; not a single one remained.

A puppeteer without puppets is like a tiger without claws; seven or eight tenths of their fighting power is gone, and they can only be considered an elite Jonin.

As for Orochimaru...

That guy is a genuine top-tier fighter. If he goes all out and unleashes his various Impure World Reincarnation techniques, he'll be quite formidable.

However, he has many ulterior motives and it is impossible for him to be an enemy of the three Kage under these circumstances. He is very likely to be a mere bystander and can only be considered an elite Jonin.

The Akatsuki organization, which is supposed to be powerful, has only three truly weaklings.

If we let them lead the charge, let alone intimidate the three Kage and demonstrate the Akatsuki's power, they might even make the Akatsuki a laughingstock among all the other ninja villages!

“Therefore, I still think it would be best for Nagato to attack directly in his God Pain form,” Black Zetsu suggested in a low voice, adding in his mind, ‘That way, it might soothe the fragile heart of a certain Kenji…’

It seems that because he had taken the initiative in his last negotiation with Orochimaru, Obito already harbored some resentment towards him.

In his view, he was created by Madara's Yin-Yang Release, while Obito was 'Uchiha Madara' himself.

Using the name of spots to do things related to spots.

However, his actions during the Orochimaru incident clearly crossed the line, displeasing Kenji.

"You're right..."

Hearing Zetsu's words, Nagato nodded in deep agreement, but Konan frowned, as if she wanted to say something. Nagato smiled faintly, a hint of domineering sharpness showing on his thin and handsome face.

"Don't worry, Konan. With the power of the Rinnegan, victory is inevitable. Even a Kage will have to submit to the power of Pain the Gods!"

"Nagato..."

Xiao Nan could only nod in agreement.

Nagato said no more and controlled Pain, heading towards the site of the Three Kage Summit.

The Land of Iron has a frigid climate and is covered in snow all year round, but at this moment, it seems as if an extremely terrifying force is descending from the sky.

In an instant, the wind and snow ceased, and the heavy clouds rolled back.

Ye, who was in the middle of the meeting, suddenly paused, and his expression became quite strange.

The next moment, the roof of the entire venue was suddenly ripped off by a terrifying suction force, and the open-air scene startled everyone in the venue, who subconsciously looked up at the sky.

But what came into view was not a scene of wind and snow, but a clear and bright sky!

The misty sky seemed to have been torn open, a giant hole punched in the sea of ​​clouds that had perpetually shrouded the Land of Iron. Gentle sunlight streamed through the hole, casting its warm rays upon the snow and ice of the land, creating a shimmering spectacle.

As the warm sunlight shone down, a figure descended from the sky and hovered above the venue.

He was dressed in a black robe with red clouds, his feet were not covered in dust, and the sunlight behind him made it impossible to see his appearance. Only his indifferent Rinnegan eyes could be seen, looking down at everything on the ground, like a god from the sacred sky, majestic and revered.

"What a terrifying aura!"

"Who is this guy? How dare he trespass on the Shadow Council! He's utterly audacious!"

"No, I can't move at all..."

"Is this guy a god...?"

Incredulous gazes were cast upon Pain. Although the samurai present were elites of the Land of Iron, they had never seen Pain descend from the sky like a god.

Forget about holding a guardian meeting or driving away the disturbers; they didn't even have the courage to look Payne in the eye.

Mifune, however, showed a hint of doubt in his eyes.

"This outfit, and this face... isn't this Yahiko from the Akatsuki?"

The second Shadow Meeting was personally presided over by Mifune, so he naturally had a deep impression of it. Moreover, if the Akatsuki hadn't taken the initiative to come to them, they would probably have had a real headache in solving the problem of guarding the Shadow Meeting.

Therefore, Mifune had a vivid memory of the Akatsuki organization and Yahiko's appearance.

but……

"No, that's not right. Yahiko doesn't have that kind of insight... Who exactly is this guy?!"

Everyone was shocked.

At the conference table, the three figures also looked solemn.

Kazekage Rasa frowned as he sensed Pain's aura, while Hokage Minato Namikaze stared intently into Pain's eyes, his heart trembling.

Water reflects the moonless night...

His expression was calm, as if he was not surprised at all by Payne's appearance.

"Hey you……"

Maki, standing beside Luo Sha, instinctively wanted to speak, but an indescribable, terrifying aura descended from the sky, crushing down like divine power.

Luo Sha immediately used Magnet Release to gather gold dust in front of him, but he couldn't withstand the terrifying repulsive force at all.

In the blink of an eye, Luo Sha, along with Sha Jin and Ma Ji, were all blasted away.

Seeing that something was wrong, Minato Namikaze immediately used the Flying Thunder God Technique to bring Fugaku to the outside of the conference hall. But the moment they left, the entire conference hall was smashed to pieces, as if an invisible force had pushed and crushed it, completely destroying the entire conference hall in the blink of an eye!

The building was pushed over, kicking up clouds of dust. Fugaku Uchiha and Minato Namikaze both stared intently at the figure floating in mid-air amidst the dust, their expressions solemn.

"The Fourth Hokage, that guy's eyes..."

"Ah, if I'm not mistaken, it's the legendary eyes of the Sage of Six Paths, the Rinnegan," Minato Namikaze said in a deep voice.

"I never imagined that the Rinnegan really existed in this world..."

Fugaku Uchiha murmured, his fists clenched tightly.

The Uchiha clan has always considered itself the most powerful family in the ninja world in terms of dojutsu, possessing the Byakugan and Rinnegan, which are considered the three great dojutsu of the ninja world.

However, the Byakugan is weak, and the Rinnegan has never appeared in the world. In the ninja world, the Sharingan is the only dominant force.

Even many Uchiha people, and even people in the ninja world, think this way.

The Sharingan is the most powerful eye technique in the world!

What? You're talking about the Rinnegan?

That's just a legend.

Unexpectedly, the Rinnegan actually exists in this world, and it has appeared in front of the world in this way!

“Although we don’t know this guy’s identity, since he’s trying to stop the Three Kage meeting, he’s an enemy!” Minato Namikaze said in a deep voice, holding a Flying Thunder God kunai in his hand: “Clan Chief Fugaku, keep an eye on the samurai like Mifune. They’re providing us with a meeting place, but we can’t let them get caught up in the war.”

"Yes."

Fugaku's dark eyes had already transformed into three tomoe, and he was ready for battle.

Amidst the thick smoke and dust, everything was blown away by the terrifying repulsive force of Shinra Tensei, except for two figures who stood quietly in place, motionless.

“Yahiko… no, Nagato.”

Hozuki Mangetsu looked at Pain with suspicion and uncertainty, while Yoru slowly raised his head to look at Pain's face, his eyes filled with a complex expression.

"I told you before that if you encountered any difficulties, you should come to Kirigakure to find me. I never expected that our reunion would be under these circumstances."

"Do you think I've gone astray, Mizukiyo?" Payne's words were indifferent, and before Yoru could speak, he gave his answer: "No, it's God's choice. God's path is never wrong; it's this world that's wrong!"

"Because of the war, I lost my parents. Because of the war, Yahiko died. Because of the war, the ninja world has become what it is today!"

"This meeting is not about war." Minazuki Yoru frowned slightly. "The Three Kage Summit is for the peace and future of the three nations. All the various projects are for peaceful development, economic growth, and to ensure a better life for the people of the three nations..."

"So, it's just the Three Kingdoms period!"

Payne sneered: "In the eyes of you great powers, there is only ever great powers, and there is never any place for small countries..."

"Magnetic Style: Golden Sand Waves!"

"Magnetic Escape·Golden Spear!"

A slightly angry voice broke Payne's words, and a vast expanse of gold dust, like seawater, rose into the air under the control of magnetic force, rushing towards Payne in mid-air.

The gold dust condensed, and countless grains of gold dust condensed into sharp spears, shooting out.

“Mizukiyo, you are actually just like them.”

Payne remained expressionless, his gaze lingering on Mizuki Yoru for a moment before he slowly raised his hand, unleashing a powerful repulsive force.

Countless gold dust was blasted to pieces by this repulsive force, and Luo Sha's body was sent flying backward, spitting out blood.

"Kazekage-sama!"

"Wind Release·Wind Blade!"

Maki's expression quickened, and he immediately formed hand seals, unleashing a wind-style attack like sharp blades from his fingertips. But in the next moment, he unleashed Shinra Tensei again, completely shattering the sharp wind blades.

"Is this guy capable of blocking all attacks?!"

Maki was greatly alarmed and dared not attack again. Instead, he lifted the Fourth Kazekage and distanced himself from Pain.

But in the blink of an eye, a loud bang came from beside him.

A figure landed beside Maki. Minato Namikaze, who had just arrived at the battlefield, was startled and turned around abruptly. He saw a fat man dressed in a black outfit with red clouds.

"There are reinforcements after all...?"

Rasa and Maki felt a chill in their hearts, but the Asura Path ignored them completely. His right hand suddenly extended, and several chakra missiles appeared and were launched in an instant.

"boom!!"

The missile caused a powerful explosion, sending up smoke and dust that obscured visibility.

A golden flash streaked through the thick smoke, and Luo Sha and Ma Ji were rescued in time.

"Thank you, Hokage."

Luo Sha clutched his chest, his breath weak, while Ma Ji had already been knocked unconscious by the explosion.

"Lord Kazekage, please be careful. Fugaku, I'll leave Lord Kazekage to you for now. I'm going to assist the Mizukage!"

"no problem!"

Fugaku nodded, but before Minato Namikaze could scatter the Flying Thunder God Kunai, countless white smoke suddenly appeared in the distant city of the Land of Iron.

The next moment, giant centipedes, crabs, lobsters, chameleons, giant dogs, rhinoceroses, and other spirit beasts burst out from the white smoke, enormous and ferocious, like monsters, and began to wreak havoc as soon as they appeared.

In an instant, the Iron City was engulfed in smoke and fire, and countless civilians were harmed by these monsters.

At the same time, the guy who had attacked the Kazekage and the others just moments before also raised his arms and launched missiles carrying chakra, causing terrifying destruction. Smoke and dust rose from the streets, and the entire Iron City was quickly engulfed in flames.

Mifune immediately scrambled to his feet from the ruins of the meeting hall and attempted to organize the samurai to resist the invasion.

However, the warriors' strength was utterly ineffective against such an offensive. In just one exchange, they were crushed by the monsters and blasted to pieces by the artillery fire.

"Damn..."

Minato Namikaze's face darkened.

The enemy was clearly targeting the three Kage, but in the end, it was the people of the Land of Iron who were harmed.

How could Minato Namikaze just sit idly by and watch something like this happen?

But at the main venue...

The being that descended from the sky was clearly the leader, or rather, the main force, of this invasion.

Although Minazuki Yoru was very strong two years ago, he hasn't participated in any wars since becoming the Mizukage in the past two years. Without souls to devour, his strength certainly hasn't increased much.

Since the other side dared to invade the Shadow Council in such a blatant manner, their combat strength must be immeasurable.
