Chapter 351: The Birth of Akatsuki
“We’ll talk about the rest later.”
“Now our question is what is the first step?”
After a long time, Yahiko was the first to break the silence.
What Chuanfeng said in the scroll about the early stages of the battle was too general and could not be considered a strategy at all.
"The teacher's general direction is correct."
"Even if we can conquer the Rain Country by force, we still need manpower to manage it."
"So recruiting soldiers is the first step."
Nagato expressed his opinion that they were too short-handed now, with only five people at most.
It is simply a fantasy to manage a country with just five people.
"Nagato is right."
Nono has begun to show some signs of following her husband's lead.
"Then where are we going to recruit people?"
Xiaonan still asked questions out of habit. Apart from matters concerning money, she rarely used her brain.
"madness."
“Big fish eat small fish, small fish eat shrimp.”
"You still need to ask such an obvious question?"
Kakuzu spoke with confidence. In such a chaotic place, with his big fists, what's the point of being afraid of not having enough manpower?
"You are stupid, your whole family is stupid."
Xiaonan responded very quickly.
"I'm sorry, I'm the only one at home."
"Too bad I'm smarter than you."
Kakuzu has already figured out Konan's background, and the more nonchalant he is, the more uncomfortable she feels.
"stop."
"Let's talk business."
Yahiko made a pause gesture, he couldn't remember how many times he had to act as a peacemaker.
"Humph~"
Xiaonan turned sideways angrily, not wanting to even look at Kakuzu opposite her.
"This is indeed the fastest way to build a team."
"Who should we attack first?"
Nagato cast his eyes on the map that Nono had not yet put away.
"If you want to eat, eat the big one."
"You can pick up the remaining small fish anytime you like."
Kakuzu now hopes that the war will end as soon as possible. He can't wait to count his money.
"Move them?"
Nono pointed at the largest force on the map and frowned.
"Is there anything wrong?"
Yahiko felt that what Kakuzu said made sense, but he noticed that Nono's expression was not right.
"From the current perspective, subduing this group of wandering ninjas is indeed the fastest solution."
“But they have so many people that it’s hard to manage them later.”
“I don’t think it’s a good choice.”
"As the saying goes, it is easy to conquer the world, but difficult to keep it."
"They don't feel a sense of belonging to the Rain Country, they just want to find a place to settle down."
Nono explained the pros and cons clearly and didn't worry at all about whether everyone was strong enough.
"If they don't obey, kill them until they obey."
The angle's eyes were stern, revealing his ferocious look.
He has never been an easy person to talk to.
Anyone who stands in his way of wealth will die!!!
"No."
"Killing can only treat the symptoms, not the root cause."
"Once the seeds of evil are sown, chaos will surely follow in the future."
Yahiko shook his head. Taking over the Rain Country was just one of them.
In the future, if you want to be Konoha's secret ally, you must not make any mistakes.
"Then what do you think we should do?"
Kakuzu knew that he was not the one in charge, so he could only let it go.
His heart bleeds at the thought of delaying the day of counting money again.
"What do you think of the remnants of the Rain Country?"
Nagato suddenly had an idea and thought of a good goal.
"That's a good idea."
Nono's eyes lit up, thinking that his own Nagato was the smart one.
“They feel most at home in the Rain Country.”
"It's not weak either."
"Without external intervention, they would never be a match for those wandering ninjas."
"We just need to find a good opportunity to cut in, and maybe we can win easily."
In just a few breaths, a rough outline of a plan appeared in Nono's mind.
"Expand and tell me."
Yahiko perked up upon hearing this.
All three of them were born in the Land of Rain, so it would be the best choice if they could fight alongside ninjas from their own country.
Looking at four pairs of eyes staring at him, Nono sorted out his thoughts.
"The wandering ninjas regard the Rain Country ninjas as a thorn in their side."
“There is friction between them from time to time.”
"I predict there will be a major war soon."
"Then we will help the Rain Country Ninjas escape danger."
"Does this count as saving my life?"
"Plus, as you are native Chinese, it will be easy for you to be accepted."
"Isn't this power in our pocket?"
Nono's plan was more about escaping danger than helping them win directly.
This is the understanding of human heart.
Giving timely assistance is far more important than adding icing on the cake.
"That would kill a lot of people."
Kakuzu looked at the few people with amusement. Although he couldn't beat them, it didn't stop him from looking down on their character.
“Sometimes some sacrifice is necessary.”
“We are not good people.”
Nagato made a double entendre and glanced at Kakuzu.
Do you really treat us as children?
"Haha~ That's right."
The corner man felt uneasy being stared at and responded with a wry smile.
"Then it's settled."
"I'll leave the matter of gathering intelligence to you."
Yahiko made the final decision that professional matters should be left to professionals.
"I will handle it."
Nono agreed without hesitation, as this was all within her business scope.
After finishing the main topic, everyone could finally reminisce about the past.
Nono recounted his experiences over the years, and the listeners were horrified.
That's like dancing on a tightrope; one mistake could lead to your death.
It is not easy for her to appear in front of Nagato alive now.
It's no wonder that Jiraiya praised her so highly.
"I will always be here."
Nagato felt very distressed when he heard this, this was much more dangerous than carrying out his own missions in the Anbu.
"It's in the past."
"I'm fine now."
Nono smiled and comforted Nagato. Hadn't she been worried about Nagato being in danger all these years?
It is a pleasant surprise that the two can meet again in the Rain Country now.
"Don't be sentimental. Now we have finally gotten our reward after all the hardship we've endured."
Xiaonan rubbed her red eyes. Compared with Nono, she was living a god's life.
"Today is a good day, let's all be happy."
"How about giving our team a name?"
Yahiko didn't want the atmosphere to be too heavy, so he changed the subject.
"Okay."
"Choose something louder."
Xiaonan used his little brain and thought hard.
"How about we use the name of our original team?"
Xiaonan couldn't think of any good name, so he just copied one.
"No, it's easy to be exposed if you use the teacher's name."
Yahiko was the first to veto, being extremely cautious.
"There are so many people in this world with Feng in their names, how can it be so easy to be exposed."
Xiaonan was still a little unconvinced.
"You never go too far wrong."
"Why not just call me Xiao?"
"It symbolizes dawn and daybreak, representing new beginnings and a bright future."
"We can definitely restore peace to the Rain Kingdom."
Nagato read the most books, and this time it came in handy.
“Nice moral.”
Kakuzu wasn't trying to flatter someone, if Kaede was really asked he wouldn't be willing to participate.
He felt itchy when he thought of Chuan Feng.
"It sounds good."
"I like."
"That's it."
The word "Xiao" was unanimously recognized by everyone.
In this small shabby house, the Akatsuki organization came into being.
