Chapter 780: My Hatred for Evil
Chapter 780: My Hatred for Evil
The Hokage Tower!
At this moment, an intruder has arrived.
Great Sage Kaguya!
The one approaching is this 'Lunar Person'.
After his battle with Six Paths Pain, he had disappeared without a trace.
No one expected him to appear here.
"Tch, he's lucky!"
Tang Ping muttered in annoyance.
If it were anywhere else, he could have taken advantage of the situation.
But this is Konoha!
Rikudo, the old man, is keeping a close eye on this place. He would have to be out of his mind to cause trouble here.
However, it is indeed fortunate that he appeared here instead of at Skyguard Tower.
Otherwise, even with the Giant Tenseigan's power, which is no weaker than Six Paths Pain's, he would have no chance of escaping unscathed.
Because Skyguard Tower is filled with experts.
Aside from Uchiha Yae, who possesses the Eternal Mangekyo, Mizon, Yamagawa Kousuke, Shou, Megumi, and others, are more than enough to give him a hard time.
So, if he dared to venture to Skyguard Tower to capture 'Little Auntie' Hanabi, he would surely meet a rhythmic end.
Tang Ping did not play any guessing games with this information.
He directly revealed a wealth of inside information to Chizuru, excluding the ultimate secret about Kaguya.
(Uchiha Yae had known these secrets for many years) He also expressed that if they captured Kaguya, the Byakugan would experience a qualitative leap, and Kaguya was indeed after the Byakugan.
After learning this, one can imagine the level of vigilance within the Hyuga clan.
Even for Hyuga Tsukimi, it would be nearly impossible to infiltrate their clan grounds without making a sound.
After all, Tang Ping and his team had set up numerous defenses.
As for kidnapping someone from outside?
Do they think the Sun Division's Guard Department is just for show?
It can be said that although Skyguard Tower lacks walls, its defensive capabilities are among the strongest in the Ninja World.
Even if Senju Hashirama and Uchiha Madara were to attack together, they might not be able to conquer it.
Indeed, the Sun Country has become this powerful.
Otherwise, it would have been impossible to withstand the combined might of the three great nations and dozens of smaller countries. Instead of being defeated, they emerged victorious.
The only reason they haven't taken over the Wind and Water Countries is because of that old man in the Pure Land. Otherwise, they would have already swept through the Ninja World with a coalition army.
"What is he looking for?"
Hyuga Tsukimi sensed from Kaguya's actions that he was searching for something.
"So it's the Sealed Tome!"
The answer soon became apparent.
It can be said that the Tenseigan is truly powerful.
With the Byakugan, one could only see Kaguya's chakra at most and would not gain such extensive information.
"The Sealed Tome?"
Tang Ping frowned.
He could understand Kaguya's interest in other items, but this particular one was beyond his comprehension.
Setting aside how to break the seals, the forbidden techniques within were not particularly effective against Kaguya.
Even with techniques like Flying Thunder God, Mutual Multiplication Explosive Tags, and Reanimation Jutsu...
Suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck Tang Ping.
"I think I know the reason!"
Yes, Tang Ping had figured out Kaguya's objective.
Reanimation Jutsu!
This resurrection technique had caught Kaguya's attention.
Tang Ping believed that Kaguya must have a 'collaborator' in the Ninja World, and this collaborator must be extremely familiar with Konoha.
Otherwise, they wouldn't know about the Sealed Tome.
Although Tang Ping and his high-ranking subordinates were well-informed about it, outsiders from other villages would not know of its existence.
Without someone telling him, Kaguya would have no way of knowing about it.
"Could... it be him?"
Tang Ping's first suspicion fell upon Biruhu.
There was no other choice; Biruhu was indeed a suspect.
After all, Biruhu had interacted with Kaguya and was well-acquainted with Konoha. Additionally, his recent actions only heightened suspicions.
Biruhu couldn't have been unaware that Konoha would find out about Akatsuki's actions.
In [My Struggle], Daxiaozi's heroic deeds were described in detail.
Anyone with a sound mind could discern the unwavering 'Will of Fire' within Daxiaozi.
How could it not be unwavering! For the sake of his village, he had slaughtered his entire clan, and his 'Will of Fire' was unmatched in purity.
Ironically, the Konoha higher-ups, who constantly preached about the 'Will of Fire,' only paid lip service to it and did not truly embody its principles.
It was a joke of a hell.
So, Daxiaozi was almost like an 'open secret' within the Akatsuki organization.
Regarding this, the Akatsuki naturally wouldn't make any moves.
After all, they were a loose group of mercenaries, each with their own agenda, as long as they didn't betray the organization.
As for intelligence gathering and transmission?
If you're not discovered, that's your skill; if you are, you're on your own.
After understanding this, Biruhu still agreed to let Kisame gather intelligence in Konoha, which seemed very suspicious.
If they hadn't discovered Kaguya, no one would have suspected his intentions. But once they knew Kaguya had appeared, and all defensive forces were drawn to the Akatsuki, it was difficult not to suspect him after no one noticed his actions.
"Should we take action?"
Hyuga Tsukimi looked at Tang Ping, and with just one order, she would act without hesitation.
"No, it's not convenient for us to act!"
Tang Ping slowly shook his head.
Although he didn't know why, he had a vague intuition that if a full-scale battle were to break out in Konoha, it would definitely attract Rikudo's attention.
At the same time, he only had this feeling when he was in Konoha.
In other words, Konoha was an extremely special place.
"So, are we just going to let them leave like this?"
Hyuga Tsukimi suppressed her urge to take action.
For her, what she craved was the opponent's body; she didn't have any grudges.
No one understood the Otsutsuki bloodline better than her, and she knew how 'beneficial' it was to the Hyuga clan.
Even without completing the Hyuga clan's genes, direct fusion with the Otsutsuki bloodline could still result in a qualitative leap.
If the genes were first completed, then fused with the Otsutsuki bloodline, they could obtain the Tenseigan.
This was a path to heaven! With such a treasure right in front of her, Hyuga Tsukimi wanted to ask.
If they missed this opportunity, they wouldn't know when they'd find the opponent again.
"No!" Tang Ping shook his head and said in a low voice, "We can't take action, but as the successor of the Will of Fire, I will never coexist with evil!"
"???"
Hyuga Tsukimi didn't understand what this meant, and just then, she saw Tang Ping step out of the rooftop shadow, simultaneously revealing his true appearance.
"Look over there!"
"It's the Shell Organization!"
"Quickly inform the Hokage!"
...
One by one, Konoha ninjas noticed Tang Ping's appearance.
As for Hyuga Tsukimi, she remained hidden in the shadows, her presence minimized, without any exposure.
This was their usual mode of operation.
One light, one dark! Even if something unexpected happened, they would still have a backup plan.
Not only did Konoha notice Tang Ping's appearance, but the Akatsuki members also sensed it.
They were no strangers to him, especially Pain, who had already experienced the Shatter Star Spear during the first Fire Country's Daimyo coalition to attack the Skyguard Tower.
If it weren't for the White Fang Wolf's rescue, the losses would have been severe, and they held even more respect for his strength.
As for Konoha, it goes without saying.
The Shell Organization first appeared in Konoha, causing them significant losses. The barrier was set up internally, primarily targeting the Shell Organization, but they didn't expect the Akatsuki to benefit from it first.
Whoosh!
Shadows separated, and both the Akatsuki and Konoha ninjas moved in perfect harmony.
They didn't know who the Shell Organization's target was, and they couldn't afford to ignore them. If they didn't clarify their target, they might pay a heavy price.
The battlefield suddenly quieted down after the explosions.
Yes, the Shell Organization had this kind of deterrence, established through repeated actions.
Within the barrier, several parties formed a 'triangle' standoff.
In terms of numbers, Konoha's side was undoubtedly the largest, nearly a thousand strong.
It wasn't that the village only had this many ninjas, but against such opponents, more numbers meant more deaths, and they might even become a hindrance. So, only the elite were chosen.
The current casualties had already exceeded a hundred, and it wouldn't be surprising if all the ninjas were deployed, and the casualties surpassed a thousand.
The eight members of the Akatsuki looked to be in good condition.
After all, they were S-class rogue ninjas, and it was impossible for them to kneel at first sight... except for Danzo.
However, after having several of his lives ended by Kakashi, Danzo fought more calmly, so he still looked decent, aside from his pale face.
Finally, Tang Ping stood alone on high ground, overlooking both sides.
