Chapter 912: Akatsuki: Declaring War on the Shinobi World!
Chapter 912: Akatsuki: Declaring War on the Shinobi World!
A ceramic pot.
To ordinary people, it might seem insignificant, but to the powerful individuals gathered here, the intricate runes on its surface and the evil chakra within were unmistakable.
The scent of the Nine-Tails!
Anyone who has encountered the Nine-Tails could discern its presence.
And the amount was substantial.
The Ten-Tails required a vast amount of Tailed Beast chakra, and it wasn't necessary to consume the Tailed Beasts directly.
This was why Sasuke considered his mission accomplished after capturing only a portion of the Eight-Tails' tentacle, without pursuing the Jinchuuriki.
"Since we've obtained the Nine-Tails' chakra, let's begin the sealing process!"
Obito's tone carried an air of command.
At this moment, he felt that he had Akatsuki firmly in his grasp.
"..."
Konan silently unsealed the scroll containing Chamaru's 'corpse'.
Even in the dim light, everyone could clearly see the black sockets where Chamaru's eyes should have been.
The eyes... were gone!
A faint tearing sound filled the air as Byakugan Wolf appeared before Chamaru's corpse, staring blankly at the empty eye sockets.
The Rinnegan!
It was a crucial component of the plan.
Originally, Obito had intended to retrieve it himself, but now that it was missing, who could bear the responsibility?
Only his mental fortitude, honed through numerous trials, especially witnessing Yahiko's survival in the Heavenly Fortress Tower, prevented him from losing control.
"Was the Rinnegan taken by Konoha?"
He turned his single eye towards Konan.
Unfazed by his gaze, Konan calmly replied, "Yes."
She spoke the truth, leaving no room for doubt.
As for the Nine-Tails' chakra?
It was acquired by killing the false Nine-Tails Jinchuuriki in Kyoto.
The imposter, known as Ku, possessed a significant amount of the Nine-Tails' chakra, making it a suitable substitute.
The information, of course, was provided by Douhei.
It was only out of concern for being too conspicuous that he didn't help her acquire the item.
"Konoha..."
Obito muttered to himself.
With the Rinnegan in Konoha's possession, he had to find a way to retrieve it.
If he wanted to lead Akatsuki and wage war against the Shinobi World, he had to reclaim the Rinnegan personally to solidify his position as the leader.
"The Ten-Tails plan continues. Let's discuss our declaration of war against the Shinobi Alliance!"
Obito, now composed, issued the order.
With the support of White Erosion, Gui Jiao, and Sasuke, and no objections from the others, no one challenged his authority as the leader.
After all, Akatsuki was a loose mercenary organization that valued strength above all else. If one wished to exercise power, they had to possess the strength and capability to do so.
"I'll take on this task... I have some unfinished business with Konoha!"
Sasuke volunteered for the mission.
Yes, his vengeance had only just begun, and next on his list was the Uchiha Clan.
The tragedy of the Uchiha Clan was caused by the entire Uchiha Clan, and Itachi was merely a pawn. How could Sasuke possibly halt his steps of revenge?
He chose to remain in Akatsuki instead of joining the Radiant Sun Kingdom because it allowed him to act without restraint, unconcerned about tarnishing Akatsuki's reputation.
He had no desire to see the Radiant Sun Will compromised.
It could be said that after witnessing the effects of the Radiant Sun Will, Niizuki had unconsciously been molded by it.
"Good, you and Touzou will execute this mission together!"
Obito granted him this opportunity.
The chance to deal with Touzou.
The reason for this consideration was their shared enemy.
Konoha!
Thus, there was room for cooperation.
Touzou!
One of the black hands behind the Uchiha Clan's annihilation, he was undoubtedly Sasuke's most sought-after target.
However, he had never had the chance before.
Executing this declaration of war mission together presented the perfect opportunity.
Although Akatsuki prohibited internal conflicts, a dead man couldn't complain.
As long as the matter was handled discreetly, no one would investigate further for the sake of a deceased person.
This is Akatsuki!
A terrifying organization where the strong prey on the weak.
Obito is giving Sasuke such an opportunity because he also holds a grudge against Danzo, so he takes this chance to exploit Sasuke's usefulness and then hands him over to Danzo in exchange for support, a win-win situation.
What a win! Now, all nine of the Tailed Beasts' Chakras have been gathered.
It's indeed time to initiate the Great Shinobi War.
Using this war to weaken the Shinobi World first, and also conveniently retrieve the Rinnegan.
Even Obito didn't expect that the Rinnegan would fall into Konoha's hands.
In his mind, Konan would definitely bring back Chamaru's body, and he could easily take the Rinnegan from her.
He didn't expect... so, he could only face the Allied Shinobi Forces head-on.
Fortunately, he has found a very good partner.
69ShuBa
With their help, along with his army of White Erosion, they truly have the qualifications to counter the Allied Shinobi Forces.
First, annihilate the Allied Forces, then destroy the Radiant Sun Kingdom! He wants to create a world with 'Lin'.
The Akatsuki members in the underground base gradually leave.
Next, it's time to engage the Allied Forces.
Regarding this matter, the Akatsuki members have no objections.
After all, they are working for money, and if it benefits them, naturally no one would oppose, but if there are only disadvantages and no benefits, even if you are the leader, it doesn't mean they will listen.
Of course, before the battle, Akatsuki will definitely kill a batch of Nobles and Daimyos as a sacrifice.
After all, there are many corresponding bounty notices in the Black Market.
As for who issued these notices?
There's no need for doubt, the Radiant Sun Kingdom has never denied it.
Of course, they haven't admitted it either.
At the same time, there are also many bounties on the high-ranking officials of the Radiant Sun Kingdom.
However, no matter who it is, they would rather choose the bounties on the Nobles and Daimyos, and would not accept the bounties related to the Radiant Sun Kingdom.
There's only one reason.
Although the Nobles and Daimyos have money and protection, for ninjas, assassination is truly effortless.
On the contrary, the high-ranking officials of the Radiant Sun Kingdom are extremely powerful themselves, and they also have many strong individuals around them, making assassination as difficult as climbing to heaven.
And even if successful, they would also face the pursuit of numerous powerful individuals, possibly even Kage-level ones.
No matter how tempting the Allied Shinobi Forces' bounties are, everyone has to consider that they need to stay alive to enjoy the money.
In the underground Black Market, strength is the ultimate truth!
This has resulted in a polarized outcome.
The bounties on the Nobles and Daimyos are frequently accepted, but the bounties on the Radiant Sun Kingdom's side are never taken.
Even suicide is easier than accepting those bounties.
Akatsuki is about to declare war on the Allied Shinobi Forces, and the Nobles and Daimyos are also enemies, so taking advantage of the situation to eliminate them is convenient.
On the other side, Taira returns to the Heavenly Fortress Tower with his impressive harvest.
The harvest is astonishing!
Over ten thousand talented ninjas.
If these individuals are provided with sufficient resources for cultivation, they can definitely produce numerous Chunin, Jonin, and possibly even Kage-level powerhouses.
After all, they were recruited from Konoha, so their quality must be good.
Upon his return, he finds Uchiha Mei and Hyuga Tsukuyuki waiting to welcome him.
"Is Konoha really destroyed?"
Uchiha Mei asks this as soon as she sees him.
Even with prior intelligence, she still finds it hard to believe.
After all, before this, Konoha was the undisputed center of the Shinobi World, the leader among the Five Great Shinobi Villages.
Even though the Heavenly Fortress Tower surpasses Konoha in terms of economy, population, and scale, it still doesn't have the qualifications to be called the center of the Shinobi World.
Now that Konoha has been directly destroyed, the title of 'Center of the Shinobi World' will absolutely belong to the Heavenly Fortress Tower in the future.
"Yes, it's true. I wonder if the Hokage Clan has cried out loud."
Izumi, standing by his side, answers first.
She also holds a grudge against the Hokage Clan.
The death of her mother, the Konoha higher-ups are not innocent, so seeing their misfortune makes her feel good.
If it weren't for Dohei stopping her, she might have secretly made a move.
As for why the Hokage Clan is crying?
