Chapter 393: Akatsuki Fishing in Troubled Waters

The situation has worsened, as the village is collapsing faster than Ōnoki expected.

If we don't prepare in advance...I'm afraid conflicts will continue to arise.

The purpose of the senior officials and daimyo coming together was very simple, they hoped that Ōnoki would set an example.

"Let me think about it."

Ohnoki did not respond, but he did not refuse decisively either. He needed to think about it before making a decision.

The purpose of the high-level officials and the daimyo coming together was not to discuss things with him, but to require a statement, a statement that a village might start a war.

Ōnoki was aware of the abnormal development of the Iwagakure, and so were everyone else.

When the pressure is too great, the only way to get rid of it is to transfer it from the inside.

After receiving Ōnoki's reply, the senior executives and daimyo left satisfied.

Even though Ōnoki said he needed to think about it, they knew that success was not far away.

As long as Oonoki doesn't refuse on the spot, it means their idea will succeed.

After sitting in the chair in silence for a long time, Ohnoki raised his head and looked at the map of the Ninja World, falling into deep thought.

The fact that Konoha dispatched additional ninja troops to guard the border had a significant impact on the ninja world. Some people thought that Konoha was just on guard, while others believed that a war might break out between Konoha and Iwagakure.

All we did was just preparation in advance.

The Akatsuki organization, which attaches great importance to the development of the situation in the ninja world, naturally also pays attention to Konoha.

The Mist Village and the Sand Village successfully fought each other. In a short period of time, it is difficult for the war between the two villages to have an outcome, and the Akatsuki organization will not allow this war to end hastily. The longer the fight lasts, the greater the losses, and the more beneficial it is to the Akatsuki organization.

"The people sent by Konoha have arrived at the border. They are guarding against the Iwagakure."

As usual, Black Zetsu, who was in charge of intelligence gathering, returned to the base regularly to report the situation and intelligence in the ninja world one by one. Black Zetsu would conceal some necessary information, not to mention Nagato and Konan, even Obito was kept in the dark.

"Have the internal problems of the Iwagakure become so serious that they are preparing to start a war?"

Why did Konoha make arrangements in advance?

It must be to prevent the Iwagakure from becoming desperate. Judging from Konoha's arrangements, it is enough to show that the Iwagakure is under great pressure.

"Because of the overdevelopment of military power, the village's finances are insufficient and it is unable to purchase large quantities of supplies from outside to balance the prices of materials in the village and in the country, so prices are rising steadily." Black Zetsu grinned, as long as he was driven by White Zetsu.

Tiandao said calmly: "It seems that the internal pressure of Iwagakure is beginning to increase, just as the intelligence we have collected. In this case, let's give them a push. The ninja world needs a new war to consume the power of the five major ninja villages."

"But will the Iwagakure declare war on Konoha?"

Xiaonan frowned slightly.

Konoha is already prepared, which means that it will be more difficult for the Iwagakure to attack Konoha and the Fire Nation. Even if there is an organization pushing it secretly, the Iwagakure may not necessarily target Konoha.

Heaven doesn't care at all.

"As long as the war breaks out, no matter who the Iwagakure targets, it will be beneficial to the organization."

Nagato doesn't care who the Iwagakure chooses to attack, he just wants the Iwagakure to move, so the Akatsuki needs a push from behind.

It is not difficult for the Akatsuki organization to spread rumors and let gossip spread in the Iwagakure and even the Land of Earth, because Black Zetsu is very good at doing these things that can kill people without any compensation.

As long as public opinion arises, whether Oonoki is willing or not, he has no choice but to choose to launch a war against other countries.

By then, Akatsuki's goal will be achieved. The process is not important. What is important is the result. What Akatsuki wants is the result.

"Black Zetsu, this mission is up to you."

"Yes."

Black Zetsu took on the task calmly. No one was better at playing with people's hearts and manipulating public opinion than him.

"Where's Obito?"

Finally, Tiandao asked a question.

Konan looked up at Tendou who was standing at the top and replied, "Obito wants to recruit Kisame Hoshigaki from the Mist Village into the organization, but Kisame Hoshigaki has not yet decided whether to betray the village."

"Then let him work harder and not attract other people's attention. Even if he wants to take revenge on the Mist Village, he can't do it too obviously."

Tiandao knew what Obito was planning without having to guess. Now that the Akatsuki organization was controlling Yagura from behind, Tiandao would not allow Obito to mess around in the Mist Village.

Once his identity is exposed and people suspect that Yagura is being controlled by someone, it means that the war between the Mist Village and the Sand Village may end abruptly. This is not the situation that Tendo wants to see, so Obito must restrain himself.

First it was the Mist Village, then the Sand Village. After the Mist Village and the Sand Village fought, the target was directly the Rock Village. The Akatsuki organization's plan was very complete, and the five major ninja villages were all among their targets. Konoha was the most difficult one to deal with, especially after Yan's complete form of Susanoo was revealed, Konoha had been listed by the Akatsuki organization as a target that should not be easily provoked.

The danger level is much higher than that of the Cloud Ninja Village.

The war did not affect the overall life environment of Konoha. On this day, the whole Konoha was very lively, and a large number of villagers came to the Ninja School to watch the excitement.

Because their Hokage Assistant made the graduate examination a public exam, the villagers could go to the Ninja School to watch.

Although taking an exam in front of a large crowd will make students nervous, some of them may make mistakes, resulting in unsatisfactory test scores.

But Yan still chose to take the public examination, not only this time, but every session thereafter.

nervous?

Can't you use ninjutsu when someone is watching you?

Will your grades drop if someone is watching you?

If you can't even handle such a small situation, you'd better continue to repeat the grade in the Ninja School. It's better not to be a ninja at all, so as to avoid hurting yourself in the future. Not only will you hurt yourself, but you may also hurt your teammates.

The enemy will not let you go just because you are nervous.

A large number of villagers flocked to the Ninja School and gathered around the playground to watch the excitement. Almost all the important people in the village also came to watch.

Even Tsunade and Hiko arrived at the scene in person.

However, Yan did not sit with Tsunade, but sat next to Fugaku and Hiashi.

The scene was packed with people, and a large number of the students who were about to take the exam had already started to get nervous. They began to worry about what would happen if their parents, family members and friends were watching and they did not perform well.

What if the test score is too low and I fail?

There were a lot of nervous people, not just one or two. Many students even complained in their hearts why a graduation exam had to be turned into a public exam, with people from the village coming to watch. They were almost nervous to death.
