"What about Kumogakure?"
Deidara looked at Nagato with some defiance. He didn't believe it. Even if Nagato could talk his way through the roof, what about Kumogakure?
'Their people didn't join Akatsuki. When no one from Kumogakure is in your so-called Land of Shinobi, what would you do?'
"Kumogakure?"
Uchiha Madara looked at Deidara as if he was looking at an idiot. He really couldn't figure out why Deidara would as such an idiotic question.
"The Kumo shinobi once forced Hinata's uncle to die. Didn't you know that?"
"Huh?"
Deidara was stunned by Uchiha Madara's words. He was about to ask, but he heard the following words from Uchiha Madara:
"How can we not take revenge on the people that condemned the Sixth Hokage's wife to die? Don't think so, mother of the Sixth Hokage? "
Uzumaki Kushina's gaze flickered. Despite the huge waves in her heart, she kept her expression calm.
At this moment, she saw Uchiha Madara's ambition.
No, it wasn't ambition.
Something was forcing him! Forcing him to build up the Land of Shinobi!
Otherwise, with Uchiha Madara's character and means, the way to induce war wouldn't be this crude at all.
After glancing at Uzumaki Nagato and Uchiha Fugaku quietly, Kushina was even more convinced.
'What did they know?'
'Perhaps... they were afraid of something!?'
'Ōtsutsuki Kaguya?'
Uzumaki Kushina's mind rapidly turned. As she said, she was dead, regardless of the things that were happening between the shinobi villages.
All she cared about was Naruto.
She already owed Naruto enough! She couldn't ignore anything about him!
"I don't have any opinion. But, Naruto's opinion is my opinion."
Kushina's words caused Uchiha Madara to freeze for a moment and glance at Uzumaki Kushina with some dissatisfaction.
'This is fighting for a great cause!'
'Are you really that stubborn?'
"I'll talk to Naruto later."
Uzumaki Nagato's voice rang out, causing Kushina's eyes to sharply narrow.
She finally knew how determined Uzumaki Nagato was this time.
Kushina had already figured out Naruto's value to him, which was why Kushina was willing to befriend Nagato.
But at that moment, seeing the solemn expression on Uzumaki Nagato's face, Kushina's heart sank violently.
'Nagato is willing to give up Naruto to do it!'
"Let Hatake Kakashi go back and declare war on the whole shinobi world!" Uzumaki Nagato said so, while his momentum suddenly changed.
If he was originally a sharp sword hidden in a scabbard, it was as if he was an erupting volcano at this moment.
Everyone could feel the terrible pressure from him!
"This time, thanks to Madara-san and all of you."
"I come from war and know that war harms civilians the most, so for this war...
I demand it!
Solve the five major shinobi villages in 3 days!
And calm the effects of the war in 5 days!"
"..."
Listening to Leader Nagato's whimsical words, the dirty words were on Deidara's lips, but he swallowed them back.
'3 days!?'
'Fight and complete a shinobi world war in 3 days!?'
Deidara really wanted to pull the leader by his collar and ask him, 'What the fuck are you thinking?'
'This is war!'
'It's not a race!'
Think about the previous world wars. Deidara thought that even three months wouldn't be enough; three years was more like it!
What's more, it was against the whole shinobi world!
'3 days...'
Deidara looked at the sure-faced leader and wanted to tell him he was delusional!
But seeing the expression on Uzumaki Nagato's face, Deidara wisely shut his mouth.
"This is the end of today's meeting."
"To follow up, we will discuss the specific battle plan."
"Now, Fugaku-san, Kushina-san, you and I will go to Uzumaki Naruto together."
Uzumaki Nagato looked indifferent. At this moment, everyone in Akatsuki seemed to see the figure of Deva Path in him.
As Uzumaki Nagato said that, he walked out.
Uchiha Fugaku glanced at Kushina, who followed him, and sighed in his heart.
He knew what Nagato was going to do, which was nothing but to tell them both the truth about everything.
However, he didn't understand why Nagato's attention to Sasuke wasn't as heavy as his attention to Naruto.
Clearly, both identities weren't simple.
.....
Half an hour later, a staggering figure walked out of Amegakure.
He was pale, and his steps were wobbly, and at a glance, people could see that his body had been severely overdrawn.
But he looked resolute and kept stimulating his body's potential to go faster!
'Faster!'
This person was Hatake Kakashi, who had just escaped from Amegakure.
He didn't know that Uchiha Madara had released him. He thought he had defeated the guards and escaped in secret.
At this moment, carrying the news he had 'overheard' that was enough to shake the entire shinobi world, he ran frantically towards Konoha with his heart full of panic.
"Are we going to do it now?"
Tobi's head popped out from the ground in the distance, looking at Hatake Kakashi's back; his voice spoke to the figure in front of him.
"Wait, it's too close to Amegakure."
A strange voice suddenly sounded out of thin air.
This voice was half Black Zetsu and half Uchiha Obito.
With the voice dropping, a black round hole suddenly appeared in the space in front of Tobi, and then the space next to the round hole quickly twisted.
Finally, two figures emerged from the distorted space and fell to the ground.
It was Uchiha Obito and Ōtsutsuki Kaguya.
It's just that, this time, the left half of Uchiha Obito's body was covered by Black Zetsu.
Obviously, Obito couldn't control his actions right now. He had become Black Zetsu's puppet.
Seeing that Kaguya's eyes kept watching Hatake Kakashi's back, Black Zetsu thought his mother couldn't wait any longer.
Looking at the direction of Amegakure, Black Zetsu had the same thoughts.
In Hatake Kakashi's current state, killing him won't make too much noise, let alone being heard by the people in Amegakure.
"I'm going to go get his eyes for Mother."
Black Zetsu's voice fell, the figure distorted, and then it disappeared from sight.
In the next moment, it had already appeared behind Hatake Kakashi.
"Who?"
Feeling the change behind him, Hatake Kakashi was startled and, holding back the physical fatigue, he jumped up high and instantly pulled away.
"Obito? Black Zetsu!"
Hatake Kakashi saw the figure attacking him. He was surprised, turned, and ran.
He understood his current state, and he was no match for these two.
However, before he could make his next move, Black Zetsu controlled Uchiha Obito's right arm and turned it into a wooden rope, which lashed out and wrapped around Hatake Kakashi's waist.
With a slight movement, Hatake Kakashi was instantly pulled back at speed several times faster than how he ran out.
Poof~
Three fingers formed a cone and directly pecked into Hatake Kakashi's left eye, taking out a scarlet eye with precision.
"Ah!"
Hatake Kakashi suddenly had a splitting headache when his eyes were ripped away. He cried out in pain and directly passed out.
Looking at Hatake Kakashi, Black Zetsu curled his lips and directly threw Kakashi away.
The other party was already overdrawn in chakra, and being deprived of the Sharingan by him, he would soon take his last breath.
There was simply no need for him to make the last move.
Besides, such a guy, it was better to let him stay here and await death quietly.
He took out the ordinary three tomoe Sharingan from Obito's left eye and simply crushed it.
The left Mangekyō eye, which was taken from Kakashi, was inserted into Obito's eye socket.
The Wood Release and Hashirama's cells had powerful healing abilities. It quickly repaired the tissue in Uchiha Obito's left eye.
Soon, his left eye was normal.
A pair of Mangekyō Sharingan slowly turned. Feeling its powerful Eye Technique, Black Zetsu nodded with satisfaction.
They couldn't go to Amegakure to get the Rinnegan from Uzumaki Nagato because they were afraid to alarm the enemy, so he had to create pain himself.
Uchiha Obito's eyes were the best choice, regardless of strength or qualification.
Glancing at Hatake Kakashi on the ground, Black Zetsu returned to Ōtsutsuki Kaguya's side in a flash.
Then, with a spatial distortion, the three disappeared.
Once again, they reappeared somewhere in the shinobi world.
...
"Mother, turn these eyes into the Rinnegan."
The moment the three of them landed, Black Zetsu spoke with some impatience.
Uchiha Obito previously made contact with the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path, and the Outer Path statue also recognized his chakra.
In other words, when Uchiha Obito owned the Rinnegan, he could also summon the Outer Path statue. Only when Uchiha Obito owned the Rinnegan, Black Zetsu could catch the nine Tailed Beasts and create a Six Paths Uchiha Obito.
When that time came, he would let his mother swallow Six Paths Uchiha Obito, and his mother would return to her peak state.
Be reborn! And suppress the shinobi world!
This was Black Zetsu's plan.
This was why Black Zetsu had to get Obito's eye back from Hatake Kakashi.
"Hmm."
Ōtsutsuki Kaguya nodded.
Turning the Sharingan into Rinnegan wasn't something difficult for her.
She tapped Uchiha Obito's brows with her finger.
In the next moment, Obito felt strange energy suddenly appear in his own body.
Under this energy, his two Sharingan began to rotate rapidly, and the power in his Eye Technique started to grow wildly.
Then, his eyes began to change.
'Mangekyō!'
'Eternal Mangekyō!'
'Rinnegan!'
What Uchiha Madara had been pursuing for a lifetime was instantly achieved with the simple tap from Ōtsutsuki Kaguya's finger.
Black Zetsu thought that if Uchiha Madara knew about this, he would be furious.
'Unfortunately, the Impure World Reincarnated Madara was sealed. Otherwise, I would have called him over to see this.'
'In order to completely resurrect him as bait, let him own them.'
"Oh, the resistance is much stronger."
Black Zetsu's strange laughter rang out. Then, the next moment, Uchiha Obito's resistance was directly suppressed by him.
Then, Black Zetsu looked at Tobi and ordered:
"The Sanbi doesn't have a Jinchūriki right now. Bring it back."
Looking at Tobi's disappearing figure, Black Zetsu thought about his next plan.
'Amegakure is dominant right now, and the shinobi world would definitely launch another alliance to attack them.'
'And knowing that one of Akatsuki's purposes was to capture the Tailed Beasts, in order to protect these Jinchūriki, the Allied Shinobi Forces will most likely keep them together.'
'This would make it easier for me.'
'Then I can become the Jinchūriki for all of them and the three tails...'
'Mother is left with the Ichibi and Kyūbi.'
Thinking about where the Ichibi and Kyūbi were, Black Zetsu's gaze wavered for a moment.
'For the Ichibi and Kyūbi, we need to outsmart them, not by force!'
....
Kakashi woke up from the darkness.
If it weren't for the dazzling incandescent light of Konoha's Hospital that made him realize that he was still alive, he would think that he had died.
"I, I want to see Hokage-sama! I have something important to report to Hokage-sama!"
Knowing that he was in Konoha's Hospital, Hatake Kakashi instantly got up from the hospital bed.
His violent movement frightened the nurse who was preparing to examine him.
"I want to see the Fifth Hokage!"
As if that was the only thing he knew, he grabbed the nurse's wrist in a death grip.
He was about to stand up when his eyes suddenly went dark, and he lost consciousness again.
When Hatake Kakashi woke up for the second time, Konoha's remaining three Hokage, Hokage advisors, Shimura Danzō, and other Konoha executives stood quietly beside his hospital bed.
It was worth mentioning that Konoha's White Fang, Hatake Sakumo, was looking at Hatake Kakashi with a distressed heart at this moment.
The killing intent that nearly coalesced into substance on him made everyone subconsciously move away from him.
Seeing Hatake Kakashi wake up, Senju Tsunade stopped her jutsu.
Kakashi's chakra overdraft was too serious, coupled with the shock to his internal organs and severe eye injury...
Senju Tsunade couldn't guarantee whether Kakashi could continue to work as a shinobi.
"Kakashi. You've worked hard!"
Looking at the bandage that continued to seep blood from Kakashi's left eye, Tsunade spoke in a deep voice.
At this moment, unbridled anger arose in Senju Tsunade's heart.
As a shinobi, death had long been common, but Hatake Kakashi's injury made her completely furious!
His Sharingan was removed. If Jiraiya hadn't secretly followed him and immediately saved him, the blood loss alone would have killed Kakashi.
"Tsunade-sama, we were discovered when we invaded Akatsuki, and Akatsuki captured both Tobirama-sama and Minato-sama."
"I eavesdropped on some news from Akatsuki. Amegakure changed their name to the Land of Shinobi and declared war on the whole shinobi world, as the Land of Shinobi."
"Uchiha Madara said that both he and the Uchiha clan will join the battle."
"Cough cough, and ..."
As if thinking of something that agitated him, Hatake Kakashi coughed for a moment before continuing:
"Uchiha Madara also said that in order to prevent this war from harming civilians in the shinobi world, they would wipe out all the shinobi villages within five days!"
"Damn it!"
When she heard Hatake Kakashi's words, Senju Tsunade hammered her fist on the table in front of her.
Boom!
With a loud boom, the table at Konoha's Hospital was instantly reduced to rubble.
Coldly looking at the debris on the ground, Senju Tsunade's expression didn't ease.
"Kakashi, who took your eye? Uchiha Madara? or Uchiha Fugaku?"
The Third Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen, asked in a heavy tone.
In addition to these two, he really couldn't think of anyone else who would do such a thing.
Fugaku, in particular, after Obito gave the Sharingan to Kakashi, he pressured Kakashi to return the Sharingan more than once.
"No."
Hatake Kakashi's weak voice sounded, "It wasn't Uchiha Fugaku or Uchiha Madara."
Saying that Hatake Kakashi saw Obito's hideous and horrible face in his mind.
"The one who attacked me was Uchiha Obito! He's also possessed by Black Zetsu."
"He's strong. I couldn't even resist one blow. And ..."
Hatake Kakashi's gaze fluctuated for a moment as if he was mulling over his next words:
"He doesn't belong to Amegakure or Akatsuki."
"In this next shinobi world war, in addition to the five great shinobi villages and Akatsuki's people, there are other forces!"
"Moreover, they're powerful!
In the shinobi world, who could make Uchiha Madara and Uzumaki Nagato this serious...? "
"I suspect that the reason that they are so anxious to start the war is probably to force out that person."
Silence reigned...
Konoha's Third Hokage looked at Hatake Kakashi silently. This was the first time he saw Hatake Kakashi's battlefield reading ability.
"I agree with Hatake Kakashi."
Senju Hashirama started.
"Immediately pass on today's incident to other shinobi villages!"
"Right now, it's no longer the time to care about the gains and losses of Konoha or other villages."
"Right now, we need the entire shinobi world to unite!"
"I agree." With a cold expression, Senju Tsunade agreed.
"I also agree." Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded heavily.
....
In the shinobi world, when the news from the Land of Fire reached the other shinobi villages and the Land of Iron...
For the first time, almost everyone was skeptical about the news from Konoha.
No one believed that Konoha's Copy Ninja Kakashi had his eyes gouged out.
No one even believed that Akatsuki would unexpectedly launch the Fourth Shinobi World War against all other shinobi villages.
Or take the lead in sounding the drums of war.
'Is Akatsuki crazy?'
At the same time, seeing the news from Konoha, all the other major shinobi villages were furious.
Teams of all Jōnin and elite shinobi departed from their respective shinobi villages and headed for Konoha.
Such a scene instantly made all the doubting voices disappear.
'The news is true!'
'The Fourth Shinobi World War is about to begin!'
Suddenly, the whole shinobi world was shaking!
