Chapter 226 I might be under an illusion

"Really? Senior Itachi killed Danzo?"

Obito, dressed as Afei, exclaimed in the eyes of the nine people below.

Others don't know Danzo's strength and character, but he knows it very well.

That old man was very careful about his life, and with an arm full of Sharingan, even Obito couldn't be sure of killing him.

I didn't expect that he would be killed by Itachi?

Did he really surrendered to Akatsuki?

"Who is this guy? Who let this little guy in to attend the core meeting?" Deidara complained rather dissatisfiedly.

Questioning why such a peripheral member was allowed to join the core meeting?

"Senior Deidara, don't say that! I just admire you seniors and want to join you!"

Obito has been suppressed for too long.

Many times, Afei, who wears another mask, is the side of him that reveals his true nature.

"There is still one vacant core seat. The quality of peripheral members is generally not high recently. Afei is barely acceptable and is still under assessment."

"Don't pay attention to this guy."

"Itachi, you continue."

Pein came forward to help Obito out.

This round of changes in the situation has made him and Obito have a lot of careful thoughts.

Obito decided to let Afei join the core layer of Akatsuki in advance.

And Itachi and Kisame, who already knew Obito's identity, also tacitly chose to pretend not to know.

Now is not the time to show off.

"Danzo is indeed dead, and it is estimated that Konoha will soon spread the news."

"That guy is indeed not simple. He has a Sharingan with an arm to perform forbidden techniques. If it weren't for the cooperation of Kisame and me, plus a little luck."

"It may not be possible to kill him..."

Itachi deliberately exaggerated Danzo's strength and threat. If he didn't say that Danzo was stronger, how could he highlight his and Kisame's "loyalty"?

In this regard, Pein and others did not have too many doubts.

The death of such a core high-level person in Konoha could not be concealed.

Unless Danzo can never show up for the rest of his life, that's almost the same as death.

"Awesome!"

"Senior Itachi is so awesome!"

A Fei screamed in ecstasy and clapped his hands in praise.

Itachi was able to expose the information about Danzo's Sharingan on one arm, so it's 80% certain that he really killed Danzo. Obito was very sure of this.

"Tsk! Isn't it just killing an old thing?"

"The Nine-Tails hasn't been caught yet. If I had done it..."

Deidara was quite disdainful and had always been brooding over his defeat to Itachi.

He always wanted to prove himself.

"That's not necessarily true. If you go, you'll probably have to stay in Konoha forever."

Kisame held back his laughter, and it hurt his stomach a little.

If Xiaodi faced that Uchiha Madara, he might not even have the chance to perform the art of explosion.

"Hmm? Kisame, do you look down on my art? I want to challenge you in a duel..."

"Enough!"

Pein shouted, stopping the bickering of several people, and then said:

"Itachi and Kisame have performed well."

"Since Orochimaru has become the Hokage, he will naturally guard against our capture of the tailed beasts. This is also helpless."

"There will be opportunities in the future..."

Pein is not in a hurry to capture the tailed beasts, although only the five-tailed and seven-tailed have been captured so far.

But overall, except for the perfect Jinchūriki, most of the other Jinchūriki are not too strong. Akatsuki can easily capture them with a two-man core team.

What is really important is the silent 'secret capture'.

Otherwise, if the whole ninja world knows that Akatsuki is capturing the tailed beasts, it will be the most troublesome thing.

It's a pity that this point can't be concealed!

Damn Orochimaru, he actually became the Hokage of Konoha!

It's really hateful!

"There is another important information." Itachi continued.

"Oh?"

"Orochimaru may have initiated the Five Kage Talks in the name of the Hokage."

"Five Kage Talks? What does he want to do?!!"

"I guess it's probably to unite the five major villages to deal with Akatsuki." Kisame responded for Itachi.

This was the information Orochimaru told them, and once the Five Kage Talks are held, the whole ninja world will know whether it succeeds or not.

It's just right to use it to exchange for a wave of trust.

"Unite the five major countries to fight against Akatsuki?"

"Damn Orochimaru, he is so eager to die?"

Pein got angry in public for the first time.

Originally, he was only slightly unhappy with Orochimaru's betrayal. After all, most of the Akatsuki were traitors, and they didn't have much loyalty.

But Orochimaru, who just became Hokage, tried to stab Akatsuki in the back.

It's really abominable!

"You are still not sure about the purpose of Orochimaru's convening of this Five Kage Talks, right?"

"He just succeeded to the throne, and he started a war. What good will it do for him?"

"Just integrating the internal factions should not be an easy task. Where does he get the time and energy to start a war?"

Konan frowned and hesitated.

Orochimaru always gave her a cunning and treacherous feeling.

Even if this kind of person became the Hokage, there would be a lot of factions in Konoha who would not accept it, right?

Besides, the third generation Sarutobi Hiruzen is still alive. Will he simply give up power?

Konan, who already manages the Rain Village, knows the intricacies of this.

If it weren't for Pein's absolute strength to suppress it, it might not be easy to integrate the Rain Village, let alone the larger and more complex Konoha?

Orochimaru doesn't have absolute strength and reputation in Konoha, right?

How could it be possible to quickly integrate Konoha and launch a war?

Unfortunately, she didn't know.

With the support of the first and second generation Hokage to succeed by name, Orochimaru's inheritance of rights in Konoha as the fifth generation head can be said to be extremely smooth, without any obstruction at all.

Coupled with Danzo's death, it also greatly stimulated Sarutobi. Sarutobi now wants to destroy the entire Akatsuki organization and avenge his old friend.

How could it be possible to hinder Orochimaru?

It can be said that Konoha is far more united and energetic now than it was in the past ten years!

Pain also frowned and thought.

He knew that Xiaonan's analysis made sense, but he didn't consider it comprehensively enough.

"As long as the Five Kage Conference is held, even if Orochimaru is not uniting the five major villages to deal with Akatsuki, Akatsuki's information will probably be leaked to the other major villages."

"At that time, the initiative whether to go to war or not will no longer be in our hands."

“We cannot place our hopes on the kindness of a big country or a big village.”

"In their eyes, the lives of small villages like ours are worse than those of livestock..."

Nagato understands very well the arrogance of big countries and villages. They don't care about the lives of other small countries and villages.

Once Akatsuki's ambition to plot a tailed beast is exposed, even if Konoha doesn't unite with the other four villages to attack, Iwagakure Village and Sunagakure Village, which are close to the Rain Country, may not be able to resist taking a bite.

Do ants dare to covet their own strategic nuclear weapons?

Then why don't you give me a lesson?

"So what do we do?"

"Scorpion, Deidara, Kakuzu, and Hidan; abandon the mission you are performing and return to the Rain Ninja Village immediately."

"Jue, send someone to spy on the situation of the Five Shadows meeting. Once confirmed, report back immediately!"

"If they want a big fight, give them a big fight!"

"I will make the whole world experience real pain!"

Payne made the decision to recall the Scorpions.

If he really wanted to fight against the Five Village Alliance, Nagato would not dare to rely on him.

We still have to fight when it’s time to fight in a team fight.

There is no way we can continue to fight as a small team.

…

In this way, Xiao's core meeting came to an end with Payne's decision.

Nagato, who had been bullied by the big powers, prepared for the worst from the beginning.

While gathering the core members, Xiaonan asked Xiaonan to mobilize the entire Rain Ninja Village to secretly prepare for the next war.

This time, I am here.

Yu Ninja Village will never be ravaged by big powers again!

As for Itachi and Kisame, since they had not yet recovered from their previous serious injuries, Payne arranged for them to rest and prepare for the possible subsequent war.

After a few minutes.

Itachi and Kisame walked on the street of the Rain Ninja Village, letting the light rain fall on them.

"Mr. Itachi, how long do you think it will take for this war to break out?"

"soon."

"How soon is soon?"

"Soon, soon..." Itachi perfected the nonsense literature, which made Kisame's fists clenched.

"In that range? How big will it be?"

"have no idea……"

"How big can it be?"

"It's probably another ninja war, one that no village or ninja can escape..."

"Huh? Then will we win?"

Itachi looked sideways at Kisame, not sure which side he meant by 'we'?
