Chapter 469: Attack of Akatsuki
The day passed quietly.
In the early hours of that morning, there was a solemn and murderous atmosphere in Akatsuki Village.
All entertainment venues in the Rain Country have been closed, and even the ninjas who are watching over the venue have all gathered here.
Yahiko stood on the platform, with Konan and Kakuzu behind him.
The Akatsuki cloaks of the three men rustled in the wind.
Looking at the densely packed ninjas in front of him, Yahiko felt filled with heroic spirit.
Years of hard work have not only brought huge wealth to the Rain Kingdom, but also increased its military strength to an unprecedented level.
Although the number of people cannot be compared with that of a big country, Yahiko will definitely not be afraid of a fight.
"I think you all already have the answer in your hearts."
"Yes, we are going to set out today."
"I just want to run our country well, but some people won't let me."
"The Kumo-nin forced us to cooperate, so Nagato went."
"Now these neighboring countries are also trying to take advantage of us."
"They want to share our money and take our land."
"Can you promise?"
Yahiko's feelings were half genuine and half fake, and he was very emotional. Anyway, the Akatsuki ninjas below were all fooled.
"No, no."
Emotions are contagious, and angry shouts soared into the sky.
"I won't agree either."
"Whoever dares to raise his hand will have his claws chopped off. I want the entire ninja world to know this."
"We Xiaonin are not easy to bully."
"Tell me, what should we do now?"
Yahiko no longer looks like a leader, but more like a lecturer.
He almost believed his own lies.
He also took great pains to find a suitable reason to go to the expedition.
Although he could just give the order directly, he had no choice but to do it because the teacher had a legitimate reason.
"Kill them!"
"Kill them!!"
"Kill them!!!"
The response to Yahiko was thunderous applause, and everyone's emotions had been aroused to the extreme.
Even some smart people are obviously excited. This is the power of a successful lecturer.
"very good."
"Set off."
Undoubtedly, this was a successful swearing-in ceremony.
The large group was divided into three waves in an orderly manner, each moving in a different direction.
Everyone was holding their breath, but they had already won by three points before the battle even started.
Yahiko's target this time is the Land of Grass, and he doesn't take those thieves seriously at all.
If all goes well, he will break through the Grass Kingdom and then attack the Taki Kingdom.
Kakuzu had a cold face and said nothing all the way as he led his large army towards the River Kingdom.
This is a country with a large territory but little combat power, and it has no appeal to Jiaodu.
Even with the combined efforts of the entire country, they couldn't find a ninja that made it onto the bounty list.
Xiaonan is flying in the air, her destination is the Kingdom of Birds.
Similarly, the Bird Country does not have any powerful fighting force, only some wandering ninjas.
It was not difficult at all for Xiaonan.
To be honest, the Grass Country where Yahiko led the team was the most difficult.
The war broke out that day, and the Akatsuki Ninja was unstoppable, leaving the three invaded countries with almost no room for resistance.
When the stubborn ninjas were killed one by one, everything became a foregone conclusion.
In just three days, the territory of the Rain Kingdom expanded nearly five times.
At the same time, the news of the Akatsuki Ninja War spread throughout the ninja world.
For a time, all the small countries were silent, fearing that Xiao Ren would suddenly appear in their territory.
"Lord Xiaoying, the Hidden Cloud Village has sent someone."
In the administrative building of Kusagakure Village, Yahiko was sitting in a fairly luxurious office and yawning.
"please."
Yahiko sat up straight and smoothed down his short orange hair.
"Yes."
The Akatsuki ninja retreated as ordered, and soon came in with a Kumo ninja.
Due to the tense war situation in the Land of Earth, this Cloud Ninja could not be considered a powerful figure in the Hidden Cloud Village.
At best, he's just a jonin with decent strength.
"The Jounin of Kumogakure, Ishikawa Eirō, greets Master Akakage."
Ishikawa Hideo has a slightly fierce look on his face, and his sturdy body makes him look even more intimidating.
"You have something to say."
Yahiko was not interested in this man's name at all, since Kawakaze had already told him.
The Cloud Ninjas who were unable to escape from the Land of Earth could only bring him some verbal pressure.
"Is such that."
"You and I are allies in wartime. We are still fighting in the Land of Earth, and you are expanding your territory in such a blatant way."
"Isn't that a bit unreasonable?"
Yahiko's arrogant attitude made Ishikawa Hideo very unhappy, but he could only suppress his unhappiness.
"Any questions?"
"Isn't my Akatsuki also fighting in the Land of Earth?"
Yahiko rested his elbows on the desk, leaned forward, and stared straight at Ishikawa Hideo with his eyes.
"The Akatsuki Ninja still has some strength left, why don't they send more troops to the Land of Earth?"
"Wouldn't it be nice if we worked together to take down the Land of Earth first?"
Ishikawa Hideo looked back fiercely, without any fear.
He just didn't believe that Yahiko would dare to do anything to him.
"In attacking the Land of Earth, we are only a supporting force."
"I have helped you share the Rock Ninja's forces, but you still haven't been able to conquer the Land of Earth."
"Can you still blame me?"
Yahiko sneered and was just short of calling the Cloud Ninja a waste.
"Raikage-sama didn't expect Ōnoki to ask Konoha for help."
"I never expected Konoha to actually send out troops."
"The current situation is not what we want to see."
Ishikawa Hideo had no way to defend himself. Although what he said was true, Yahiko didn't care.
His momentum has weakened, and the Cloud Ninjas are indeed unable to take over the Land of Earth now.
"I'm sorry, but whether Konoha sends out troops or not has nothing to do with me."
"I have done what I promised Raikage-sama."
"Then the rest is up to you, the Cloud Ninja, to handle on your own."
"We need money to fight on the front line of the Land of Earth, but I haven't seen any return yet."
"I'm already being very considerate by not asking you for military funds."
"Now that I, the Akatsuki Ninja, have chosen another career, the Kumo Ninja is also asking about this?"
"Does it mean that I need to get your permission before I do anything?"
The anger in Yahiko's words became more and more obvious, and it seemed as if fire was about to burst out of his eyes.
"I didn't mean that."
"It's just that you did this, and Lord Raikage is very unhappy."
"I hope you can give me a reasonable explanation."
"I can go back and report back."
Under Yahiko's strong pressure, Ishikawa Hideo became increasingly unconfident.
He suddenly realized that the man in front of him could easily crush him to death.
Unfortunately, panic makes it easy to make mistakes, and he said the wrong thing.
"explain?"
"What explanation do you want?"
"I don't know if the Raikage is happy or not, but I am very unhappy now."
"Go back and tell the Raikage to come and talk to me in person if he has any problems."
"Not just anybody is qualified to negotiate with me."
Yahiko almost laughed out loud, this Cloud Ninja is really stupid yet cute.
He wants to use the Raikage to suppress himself, which means he doesn't take him, the Akatsuki, seriously enough.
"Master Xiaoying~"
Ishikawa Hideo was about to continue speaking, but was interrupted by Yahiko.
"I'm going to talk to you nicely while I'm still here."
"Get out of my sight right now."
"Understand?"
Yahiko stood up suddenly, his cold eyes without any emotion were frightening.
"Farewell."
Ishikawa Hideo still valued his life, so he swallowed the words he had not said out loud and turned away angrily.
"Clown~"
Yahiko sat down again and started yawning again after a while.
"Yahiko, this kid is really fast!"
Tsunade sat at her desk and threw a document at Kawakaze.
"not bad."
Chuan Feng took a look at the battle report about Xiao Ren, and the corners of his mouth slightly raised.
"What's next?"
"Let Yahiko and the others keep fighting?"
Tsunade twisted her neck and went back to processing other documents.
"rest assured."
“Someone will have to go down.”
Chuan Feng looked very confident, which made people very convinced.
"The Kingdom of Wind?"
Shota interrupted and said that he felt that only the Wind Country would dare to take the initiative to intervene.
After all, they were close, and Akatsuki's actions undoubtedly put a lot of pressure on Sand Shinobi.
"Not necessarily."
"But it doesn't matter who enters."
"By then, the ninja world will be in chaos, and the time for us to make an appearance will be one step closer."
Chuan Feng's words were not clear, but in fact he didn't care who took the initiative to enter the scene.
As long as Yahiko and the others continue to stir up trouble, it is inevitable that the ninja world will be thrown into complete chaos.
"You mean the Water Country?"
"Unlikely."
Shota frowned. He didn't think that the Hidden Mist Village would join in so soon.
"Everything is possible."
"Don't worry, we'll just watch."
Chuan Feng grinned, as if everything was under his control.
"I'll give you a great one."
"I'll take care of this mess for you."
Tsunade threw another document in her hand to Kawakaze.
"What the hell?"
Chuan Feng took the file and opened it.
On it were requests for "help" from some small countries that were on good terms with Konoha.
"Yahiko scared them."
"This is easy to do."
Chuan Feng smiled and shook his head. The big fish didn't show up, but the small fish and shrimp were scared enough.
"The ninja world is in a turbulent time. The ninjas we sent from Konoha to support the Land of Earth have fallen into trouble."
"We in Konoha are too busy to take care of other things at the moment."
"However, we in Konoha will definitely strongly condemn the Akatsuki ninja's aggressive behavior."
"If the Akatsuki Ninja does not stop this extremely bad act of aggression immediately, then we in Konoha will not rule out the possibility of sending troops to intervene."
"That's it."
"Then issue a statement criticizing Yahiko, and have the daimyo sign it."
"This will show that we have the style of a great village and are the moral role models of the ninja world."
After Kawakaze finished talking a lot, Tsunade and Shota both looked at him with admiration.
Has this guy become more shameless?
"You are the one who is shameless."
Tsunade didn't know what to say. She just talked but didn't do anything, and in the end people still had to praise her.
You can even say that you are condemning Yahiko.
Didn't you arrange for Yahiko to do the job?
Now, not only did he get the job done, but he also had to take the blame for destroying the peace in the ninja world.
"I used to sneer at it, but now I weigh it word by word."
"Master Chuan Feng, I wrote down everything you said."
Shota’s main goal now is to join the team if he can’t beat them, and he is impressed by Kawakaze’s shamelessness.
This operation completely overturned his three views.
No wonder he could only work so hard here, it turned out that he was not thick-skinned enough nor treacherous enough.
If I had figured it out earlier, it wouldn't have been a problem to get a few 'good friends' to help me.
"Ruzi can be taught."
Kawakaze pointed at Shota and his smile began to become perverted.
"Has Yahiko not contacted you in the past few days?"
Tsunade rolled her eyes helplessly.
"No~ I guess he's still busy."
As soon as Chuan Feng finished speaking, he received a video request from Yahiko.
"You have a very good mouth."
With a sigh, Chuan Feng took out the slug clone from somewhere.
"teacher."
Yahiko's voice appeared in Kawakaze's eyes along with the picture.
"Well done."
"Your teacher's wife praised you."
Kawakaze stood up and walked over to Tsunade, sitting down on the armrest of her office chair.
"Our Yahiko seems to have gained weight recently."
Tsunade's eyes were smiling, and just one sentence almost made Yahiko's eyes red.
In the eyes of others, he is the leader of Akakage Village, but in Tsunade's eyes, he is always the child who has not grown up.
"Have it?"
"Maybe I've been living a more comfortable life recently."
Yahiko scratched his head with a silly smile, not showing any sign of being a superior.
"It's better to be fatter, it's healthy."
"Thank you for your hard work."
"By the way, there will be an official document denouncing you published in a few days."
"You have to thank your good teacher."
Tsunade suddenly changed the subject, quite sarcastically, still with a smile on her face.
"Haha~ It's okay."
"In that case, I, Yahiko, will be famous throughout the ninja world."
Yahiko didn't mind it at all, being criticized a few times didn't mean he lost a lot of money.
"What do you think that's a good reputation?"
Even Tsunade was amused, so she thought of the bad reputation as a reputation.
"I don't care what others think of me."
"As long as the people I care about care about me."
Although Yahiko's words were a little difficult to understand, they were all sincere.
"Okay, stop being sensational."
"where are you now?"
"Ready to go to the Iron Kingdom?"
There aren't so many sentimental words between men. Kawakami directly asked Yahiko about his next move.
Ever since he took away the tailed beast from Taki no Kuni, Kawakaze has no interest in even mentioning it.
He believed that it would not take Yahiko much time to destroy Takikuni.
"Still in the Land of Grass."
“This place is a mess.”
"It's so poor. It's terribly poor."
"The people of the Grass Kingdom are completely indifferent to our invasion."
"What kind of life can make people so indifferent?"
Yahiko complained bitterly that for him it was a typical case of "it is easy to build an empire but difficult to rule it".
"The Grass Country has been suffering from poverty for a long time."
“This kind of thing can’t be solved in a short time.”
"I think Konan and Kakuzu's side should be similar."
"But you don't have to worry too much."
"All you have to do now is to occupy the place, try your best to appease the people, and avoid any trouble."
"Once the situation becomes clear, I will send someone to take over, and we will slowly solve these problems."
Chuan Feng has his own considerations. Fighting and treating at the same time is definitely not appropriate at the moment.
"Okay, I'll inform Konan and Kakuzu."
Yahiko nodded, feeling relieved.
If Chuan Feng insisted on asking him to manage these territories, he would really have a headache.
"The Iron Country is not in a hurry either."
"The warriors there are quite powerful. You'd better not fall into the trap."
Kawakaze teased Yahiko, he knew of course that the Iron Country could not stop the Akatsuki Ninja.
In the entire Iron Kingdom, there is only one person named Sanfun who can be called the leader.
A single ship cannot influence the course of a war.
"Don't worry, teacher. I'm sure."
Yahiko was full of confidence, so how could he take the defeated opponent of Hanzo of the Salamander seriously?
"That's good."
"You should finish dealing with the affairs of the Grass Kingdom first. I will wait for the news of your victory."
Chuan Feng was really not worried. He had enough trust and confidence in his disciples.
"Just watch carefully."
"Oh, I forgot to tell you something."
"The Raikage sent someone here, and I sent them away as you said."
Yahiko came back to his senses and remembered what he was going to report.
"Don't worry about it. The Cloud Ninja can't do anything special."
"They can't take the Land of Earth. The longer it takes, the more anxious the Raikage will become."
"He won't have the mind or time to send anyone to look for you again."
From the moment the Raikage decided to attack the Land of Earth, in Kawakaze's eyes they were already out.
On the big stage of the ninja world, the Cloud Ninja’s role is coming to an end.
