Chapter 233 The Eve of War

When Yuxi walked into the tower in the rain, Nagato was monitoring the Hidden Rain Village through Pain's vision.

"You're back." Xiaonan's voice came from the shadows, and pieces of paper flew around her.

Nagato suddenly opened his eyes, and a hint of shock flashed in his Rinnegan's eyes.

The Tendo Pain he controlled stood up from his chair: "In one day, you actually did it!"

"I have placed the eight tailed beasts in another dimension now. Please give me the one-tailed beast later."

Yuxi walked to the window, and the rain was winding like a river on the glass.

Nagato was silent for a long time, and finally nodded.

Seeing this, Xiaonan waved gently.

Countless pieces of paper flew to various places in the Hidden Rain Village and began to carry out orders.

"Very good." Yu Xi raised the corner of her mouth with satisfaction.

In the ruins of the Hidden Cloud Village.

Raikage Ai smashed half of the remaining wall with one punch.

The medical ninja had just removed his bandages, and his new skin was still an unnatural pink.

"Sir, please calm down! Your injury has not yet fully healed!" Secretary Ma Buyi advised anxiously.

"Calm down?" The Raikage's voice boomed like thunder. "He's dead! Half the village is destroyed! How can you expect me to calm down?!"

"Issue an order," the Raikage gritted his teeth, "Convene a meeting of the Five Kage! In the Land of Iron!"

Ma Buyi looked troubled: "But other villages..."

"They won't refuse!" the Raikage roared. "That monster has gathered all the tailed beasts! The battle will begin soon!"

Iwagakure Village.

Ohnoki was suspended in the center of the office, in front of him was the intelligence scroll he had just received.

"Grandpa, what should we do?" Heitu asked nervously.

Ohnoki's brows furrowed. "Hold still for now. Yuxi...this woman is more dangerous than Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha."

"Are you going to give in just like that?"

A gleam of light flashed in Ohnoki's eyes. "That reckless Raikage will definitely be the first to take action. Let's wait and see what happens."

In the Sand Village medical room, Gaara slowly opened his eyes.

Grandma Chiyo's body was still lying beside her, her face peaceful.

"Why...save me..." Gaara's voice was hoarse.

Temari held his hand with red eyes: "Because you are our Kazekage, our younger brother."

"But the one-tail has been taken away..." Gaara looked out the window

The flag of the Sand Village fluttered in the wind. "What else can I... do?"

Maki walked into the room, his expression serious. "The latest news is that the Raikage has initiated a Five Kage meeting to discuss how to deal with Yuxi's threat."

In Konoha Village, there was dead silence in the Hokage's office.

"Sister Yuxi...is she really going to do this?" Tsunade's fingers unconsciously stroked the necklace of the First Hokage.

Namikaze Minato stood by the window, the light making his golden hair shine. "At least she saved Naruto's life, but what about Konoha Village?! Should we resist?"

"You are too naive, Fourth Hokage." Danzo leaned on a cane

He stepped out from the shadows, "Power is everything. Yuxi does have the ability to unify the ninja world."

Minato's head snapped up, "What do you want to say, Danzo?"

Danzo's voice echoed through the silent office, like a venomous snake coiling around everyone's neck. "It's foolish to fight against God. Instead of thinking about how to fight, we should think about how to survive in this new world."

His bony fingers stroked the metal decoration on the top of the cane. "Lord Yuxi has demonstrated power beyond that of the Six Paths Sage. Isn't this heaven's will?"

Minato Namikaze clenched and unclenched his fists in his sleeves.

The scene of him questioning Yu Xi about the meteorite disaster in the early morning two years ago when the dew had not yet dried was still vivid in his mind.

At that time, Yu Xi just raised his fist slightly. He didn't even see the movement clearly, but he was seriously injured.

The severe pain from comminuted fractures all over the body and the muscles that continued to twitch even while the medical team was trying to save him.

And the thirty days and nights spent in the hospital bed - these memories made his rebuttal catch in his throat.

"Danzo is right." Tsunade's voice broke the silence, "Grandpa established Konoha to protect, not to sacrifice in vain."

Her fingers suddenly clenched the necklace, and the jade carved a deep red mark on her palm.

"Fighting with Sister Yuxi?" Tsunade laughed at herself in her heart, "Will this village still exist..."

She suddenly realized that this familiar Konoha atmosphere might disappear soon.

Sound Hidden Village.

Yuxi walked along the muddy path, and the sound of her boots crushing puddles was particularly clear in the quiet street.

Her figure passed through layers of barriers like a ghost, without alarming any guards.

Deep in the laboratory, Orochimaru was staring at his bandaged hands.

The seal of the Shiki Fuujin prevented him from performing hand seals, and the ninjutsu that he once took pride in now became an unattainable luxury.

The candlelight flickered in his golden vertical pupils, reflecting the unwillingness and anger in his eyes.

"What a mess, Orochimaru."

Yuxi's voice suddenly echoed in the laboratory, and Orochimaru looked up suddenly.

When he saw the figure standing in the shadows, his pupils suddenly contracted.

He subconsciously wanted to retreat, but found that he had already been nailed to the spot by an invisible force.

"Lord Yuxi..." Orochimaru licked his dry lips with the tip of his tongue, his voice hoarse as a snake, "I didn't expect you to come to my humble home in person."

Yuxi walked slowly closer, raindrops dripping from the corners of her clothes, forming small puddles on the floor.

She reached out and brushed across the scrolls scattered on the lab table, her fingertips resting on a research note on Impure World Reincarnation.

"I need your Impure World Reincarnation." She said bluntly, her voice like a winter wind blowing across Orochimaru's back.

"The nine tailed beasts are in my hands, and the Akatsuki organization is now mine. The Fourth Shinobi World War is about to begin. I want to unify the ninja world. But without your Impure World Reincarnation, this game will be too boring."

Orochimaru's breathing stopped slightly, he was shocked by the madness of this woman.

"You know my hands are sealed." Orochimaru raised his bandaged arm, his voice full of self-mockery, "Without the ability to bind seals, Impure World Reincarnation—"

"Your subordinates should also be able to reincarnate, right?" Yu Xi interrupted him, a trace of impatience flashed in his eyes.

When Orochimaru heard Yu Xi's words, his pupils constricted. He didn't expect that Yu Xi actually knew that Kabuto could also be reborn into the Impure World Reincarnation.

The candle flame suddenly shook violently, twisting his shadow on the wall like a snake nailed seven inches deep.

"It seems that you know more about the Hidden Sound Village than I thought." Orochimaru's fingers twitched slightly under the bandage.

Yu Xi's eyes were deep, as if they could see through all the darkness: "In the next few days, you and Kabuto will go to collect the bodies of the Kages of various ninja villages. In the end, I will also send Uchiha Madara's body here."

A complex light flashed in Orochimaru's golden vertical pupils, and he knew very well what it meant.

Yu Xi's plan has already exceeded his understanding of madness.

Faced with this irresistible force, he had no choice but to surrender.

"I understand, Lord Yuxi." Orochimaru's voice was low and submissive. He slowly lowered his head, as if paying tribute to fate.
