Chapter 173 Meeting Akatsuki Nagato
In a dark cave.
"Madara-sama, the current situation in the ninja world... and the previous Jonin meeting in Konoha did not go deep into the barrier, but a considerable number of elite ninjas left the village that night...
And after the Konoha Jonin meeting ended that day, Senju Tsunade was at Hokage Rock..."
Uchiha Madara, who originally looked bored, listened to the changes in the three wars in the ninja world. To him, it was just like a group of children playing house.
But when he suddenly heard Senju Tsunade's conversation on the Hokage Rock after the Konoha Jonin meeting, he immediately became interested, and he couldn't help but be shocked: "Hashirama's granddaughter is really You said that?"
Bai Jue tilted his head in confusion, and then imitated the postures and conversations of the two of them, and even imitated their movements perfectly.
"Ahaha...Haxi hot mom, your granddaughter said you were wrong! You are wrong!"
Uchiha Madara, who was hanging in a breath, suddenly laughed, and his crazy laughter echoed in the dark cave.
No one can understand the excitement and joy of Uchiha Madara, but someone in the ninja world admitted that Hashirama's original thoughts were wrong.
"Mama Hasi, I have long said that peace based on trust between people is false. War broke out in the ninja world immediately after your death. Is this the peace you pursue?"
Uchiha Madara's face flushed with excitement, and he was so excited that he almost coughed up blood.
"Tsunade Senju, I, Madara Uchiha, recognize you! I, Madara Uchiha, recognize that you, an outstanding junior of the Senju clan, have surpassed Hashirama in terms of skill!"
At this time, under Uchiha Madara's excited smile, someone admitted that Hashirama was wrong, and she was Hashirama's granddaughter. This was simply more refreshing and exciting than the last time he heard that the annoying white hair died in the Land of Thunder.
"This outstanding junior, I admit that I will let you bear my Uchiha surname, Uchiha Tsunade! I am really looking forward to it more and more!"
Under the excited smile, Uchiha Madara was completely carried away.
"Haha, and this kid, I have already said that you are very similar to me. What would you think if there was only one Konoha!"
At this time, there was a strong sense of anticipation in Uchiha Madara's eyes. He wanted to see Tsunade Senju when they met in the future, no!
It should be Tsunade Uchiha, who was leading two children with Sharingan eyes, staring at Hashirama, saying that his previous concept of peace was wrong!
He was looking forward to seeing the angry but incompetent rage of the annoying white-haired Senju Tobirama!
He even wanted to see how much change this junior he had trained would bring to the ninja world.
Although this kid didn't know it, it definitely didn't prevent him from considering Uchiha Ye as his successor. After all, without him, this kid would have died in World War II. Without him, how could this kid have perfect thunder escape.
"That...Madara-sama..."
At this time, looking at Uchiha Madara, he didn't know what he thought of. With a crazy smile, Bai Zetsu tilted his head and pointed at the connection that was almost torn off.
"It's almost broken...Madara-sama..."
After Bai Zetsu's reminder, Uchiha Madara finally came to his senses. After seeing that the white tube behind him was already stretched and almost torn apart, he took a few nervous steps back.
"Ahem, this junior has exceeded my expectations. He is indeed my favorite junior."
Uchiha Madara, who returned to the stone chair and sat down domineeringly, showed a proud smile.
"Bai Zetsu, bring me a book by this brat next time. I'm really looking forward to this interesting ninja world."
Uchiha Ye represents who he once was, even more perfect under his secret guidance.
At the beginning, he knew clearly that Hashirama's ideas were illusory and wrong, but he only had a vague concept. What would have happened if Hashirama had listened to his plan to suppress the ninja world?
Just as this kid boldly thought, what will happen when there is only one village in the ninja world?
When thinking of this, Uchiha Madara showed a rare look of melancholy and murmured: "Hashirama, your granddaughter is better than you, and she has admitted that your idea is a failure. Yes, when you were alive, the ninja world was just peace under the fear of power, and my philosophy will let you see that if you didn't stop me...joined forces with me..."
Uchiha Madara, who was muttering to himself, fell into memories, his eyes gradually dimmed, and finally he sighed melancholy.
"It's a pity that there are no ifs in this world. As your granddaughter said, right and wrong can only be known by doing it. I just don't know which one is really right, this kid or me now..."
At this time, while Uchiha Madara was muttering to himself, he had a rare reflection, or in other words, which one is right between him now and his younger self.
The next moment, Uchiha Madara smiled calmly, and then a relieved and domineering smile appeared on his face, "But this is not important anymore, just choose both paths! For outstanding juniors, let me stay on the top of the mountain Wait for you!"
At this moment, Madara Uchiha's exposed eye was domineering, full of the arrogance of being the only one in the ninja world.
He had already stood on the top of the mountain, and what he saw now was a young version of himself, walking up another mountain that he had never completed when he was young. Then they would meet at the top of the mountain and witness what was right and what was wrong!
It is also the right and wrong of his two choices when he was young and now!
"Madara-sama, what about Kumogakure's collapse plan this time?"
Just when Uchiha Madara was lamenting himself, Bai Zetsu's voice interrupted him.
"Kumogakure's collapse plan?"
At this time, Uchiha Madara raised his eyebrows slightly, and then sneered proudly: "Since the person chosen by me, Uchiha Madara, has firmed up his beliefs and wants to embark on this path, then let him Walk!"
If he, Uchiha Madara, had thought of helping this junior before, but now!
This is the perfect incarnation of his will that he inherited when he was young. Then he can leave by himself. He has already helped as much as he can, and then it is up to him to leave by himself.
"Then don't worry about it?" Bai Jue tilted his head and asked doubtfully.
But Uchiha Madara showed a contemptuous smile.
"With Hashirama's granddaughter helping him, and the little girl from the Nine-Tailed Jinchuuriki Uzumaki, what he faces is just a bunch of scum. This is what he should face."
He, Uchiha Madara, is not the one to take care of children, he has to do everything by himself. Now with so much help, if he still can't succeed, it will only prove that this kid is not qualified to climb the mountain.
"And the junior Raikage, the Third, is much more sober in his pursuit of power than the greedy Sarutobi junior."
Uchiha Madara smiled indifferently, and with his vision, he could clearly see the gap between the five major shadows now.
Without the shadow of blood successor, if you are too greedy and want to be proficient in everything, it is better to perfect one skill first, and then continue to polish it, so that this perfection can cover up your other shortcomings, instead of doing everything.
"However, if the Three Ninja World Wars end in the same muddle as World War II, it will not be friendly to our plan."
Then Uchiha Madara seemed to think of something and couldn't help but frown. It wasn't that he was afraid that the five great ninja villages were too strong, but that the host of the Samsara Eye was too weak.
Therefore, it was in line with his plan that the five major ninja villages suffered heavy losses in the three battles.
"I see."
Bai Ze understood this sentence, and Uchiha Madara nodded lightly indifferently.
"Let this ninja war be more violent, you weak ninja juniors."
…
Konoha is close to the border of Yuno Country.
At the border, the densely packed Kumo ninja and Konoha formed a canine-toothed formation, and a battle would break out if they were not careful.
A huge canyon made Kumo Ninja and Konoha stand in awe. At the same time, both sides of the canyon were huge war machines shining with cold light.
The battle between great ninja villages involves not only ninjas, but also countless sophisticated war ninja machines.
"Tsunade-sama, this is the latest information."
Standing in front of the cliff, Senju Tsunade, dressed in bright red armor, looked calmly at the Kumo ninja opposite with her hands folded across her chest, when a Konoha ninja respectfully handed over the information.
Looking at the information in her hand, Senju Tsunade nodded calmly.
"If you pass the order, as long as the Kumo ninja takes action, the Konoha ninjas on the border will start a war on all fronts."
"yes!"
With his tough style, not only did the Konoha ninjas on the front line not feel uneasy, but they all roared with excitement.
Ninjas live by killing, and they are not afraid of death. Although most of them do not like war, the enemy has declared war on them.
A commander with a tough style on the battlefield is more popular.
As Konoha's side burst into roars of fighting spirit, the Kumo ninja on the other side who was on guard also became nervous. Kumogakure declared war on Konoha, but it was not up to them how or when to fight.
"Uchiha Mikoto and Uzumaki Kushina, you two have stepped up and are responsible for building an intelligence network for the Kingdom of Tian, the Kingdom of Yu, the Kingdom of the Moon and even the Kingdom of Thunder."
"yes!"
In addition to her status as a frontline commander, Tsunade now also has the status of the Minister of Konoha's Intelligence Department.
Although he is on the front line, he can also place his own people and use the Intelligence Department to build his own intelligence network.
Under the sharp cold wind of the canyon, Senju Tsunade walked down the canyon calmly, constantly making arrangements along the way.
"Also, tell Ye that in seven days... we will be ready here."
"yes!"
Uchiha Mikoto and Uzumaki Kushina, who were following behind, nodded solemnly after hearing this.
At the same time, a barrier was set up in a forest a hundred miles away, which even a sensing ninja could not easily detect.
The silence of the barrier is incomparable, but there are ninjas hidden in every tree trunk or grass that are difficult to find.
"Sir, the Third Raikage, according to the information from the root spy, in seven days the Third Raikage..."
In a huge tree hole, listening to the report from his confidant ANBU, the third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded solemnly.
"I understand, after seven days! Just right!"
This time Sarutobi Hiruzen was also in a hurry and eager to prove himself, so he rushed to the front line in person.
However, after seeing the information from the spies, especially the time agreed upon by the Third Raikage, Sarutobi Hiruzen couldn't help but reveal a confident smile.
This location is just right to avoid being surrounded. It is considered to be near the border. What's more important is that there will be fighter jets in seven days.
The longer time passes, the greater the chance they will be exposed.
"Sir, we will win this time!"
A loyal ANBU jounin of the Sandaime Hokage lowered his voice and made Sarutobi Hiruzen smile. He raised his head and looked at the person he brought this time.
Konoha's most elite jounin is over a hundred, plus nearly four hundred elite chunin. Not to mention the third generation Raikage, even he has to stay.
"I firmly believe in the greatness of the Will of Fire, and Konoha will win!"
Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded firmly. This time he had Konoha's most elite ninja legion, as well as spies' intelligence, and he was personally leading them. There was no reason for them to lose.
The advantage is mine! Must win!
Not only Sarutobi Hiruzen, but the other elite jounin also showed firm expressions after hearing the battle plan.
This time they have a huge advantage.
"But Father, will the arrival of the Nine-Tailed Jinchuuriki on the front line this time arouse opposition from the rest of the Ninja Village?"
This masked Anbu jounin actually called the third generation his father while lowering his voice. It turned out that this man was none other than the third generation's eldest son, Sarutobi Shinnosuke.
Sarutobi Hiruzen glanced at his son calmly, then lowered his voice and said in a deep voice:
"Jinchūriki? We, the Jinchūriki of Konoha, protect our own villages within our own borders and do not invade other countries casually!"
The Jinchūriki, the ultimate intimidating weapon of the five great ninja villages, all secretly abide by an agreement with each other. Once the Jinchūriki appears on the battlefield of another country, its nature will change.
Looking at his father's thoughtful eyes, he suddenly realized something.
Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded calmly, "Also, this war is different from the past. We must go all out. If necessary, the Jinchuuriki will be the last weapon."
In this battle, he not only wanted to behead the Third Raikage, but also wanted to defeat Kumogakure's army in one go.
What's more important is that the battle must be quick, without giving other villages a chance to react, so Tsunade is asked to bring the Jinchūriki just in case.
Once Kumogakure resists tenaciously, the Jinchūriki will attack directly, and must use the strongest posture to quickly defeat Kumogakure.
"Go down and get ready. This time you can take a good look at the battle of a shadow-level warrior."
A thick palm patted his shoulder, which made the masked Sarutobi Shinnosuke nod solemnly.
"I understand, father. I will watch you kill the Third Raikage with my own eyes, father, and your name as a ninja hero will resound throughout the ninja world!"
After looking at his son's eyes of blind admiration, Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded with a smile of relief and arrogance.
After more than twenty years, the ninja world has almost forgotten the fierce power of the Third Hokage, and it's time to give the ninja world a little shock.
…
On the surface, Uchiha Yeming followed Tsunade to the border and was at a waterfall on patrol.
"Master Ye, Nagato is here."
Konan, who followed Uchiha Ye to the front line, walked out of the forest, followed by a red-haired boy wearing a black robe.
"Brother Ye."
After not seeing each other for more than three years, the boy had grown a lot taller, especially the black robe on his body, which made Uchiha Ye smile.
"I heard that you established an organization in the Kingdom of Rain. Is this the uniform of your organization?"
As soon as they met, Nagato, the red-haired boy who was somewhat autistic at first, smiled when faced with Uchiha Ye's teasing.
Brother Ye is still the same as before.
"Well, this was designed by Yahiko. At the same time, when naming the organization, I thought of Brother Ye, who said that you would bring the light of hope to the ninja world, Dawn, so this organization is named Dawn!"
Revealing under Nagato's red hair is a pair of lavender pupils. Under the camouflage of invisible eyes, his Samsara Eye has been well hidden.
"Xiao!"
After hearing the name of this organization, Uchiha Ye smiled, but then under Nagato's doubtful gaze, Uchiha Ye stared at him and kept shaking his head.
"This black uniform is too ugly. Since it's dawn, let's embroider a red cloud on this black robe."
"Hongyun!?" Nagato was stunned, then smiled and nodded solemnly.
"I understand Brother Ye, the red cloud represents the meaning of war and peace, just like the will in the book. If you want peace, you must go through war. Only a unified war can bring peace."
When he said this, Nagato's eyes became even more fanatical.
"Wars were everywhere during the Warring States Period, and the establishment of the Ninja Village was born only after a large-scale war. Only then did the partial unification of the Ninja World appear.
If the scale of this war had been larger and the ninja world had been unified rather than partially unified, it might have brought peace to the ninja world long ago..."
Good guy, after hearing Nagato's enthusiastic words, Uchiha Ye smiled happily and nodded.
"This is just my personal idea about peace. As for whether it is right, you can only know after making it. But I heard from Xiaonan that you were hired by Iwagakure Village this time?"
As a very common ninja-for-hire organization in the ninja world, the Akatsuki organization will naturally borrow the tasks released by the major ninja villages. In particular, some ninja villages cannot do it themselves, so it is better to hire outside ninjas to do it.
This is also the main reason why hired ninjas can survive.
