"Is everyone here?"
At this moment, in a certain cave in the Shinobi World, a group of people wearing black robes with red cloud patterns are meeting in the cave. Nagato has been investigating for news about the new Rinnegan since he lost the Gedo Statue, but unfortunately, he did not find any news. (T/N: I change Demonic Statue of the Outer Path to Gedo Statue.)
So he can only give up, but his plan has never changed, which is bringing pain to the Shinobi World.
"Everyone, I am the one calling you back this time. I won't talk too much nonsense, and our plan is about to start. The Biju capture mission will begin now. Our primary goal is Sanbi, Nanabi, Rokubi, and then we'll capture Nibi and Hachibi!"
The person who spoke was Yahiko, or Pain. According to Nagato, the leader of the Akatsuki organization can only be Yahiko, so he is now doing it in an alternative way.
It's just that among the group of people here, there is no Deidara, and Itachi has not awaken his Mangekyo, but Obito has changed into his Tobi persona and joined them, and he formed a team with Sasori.
Itachi is actually quite pitiful. He was cut off by Asahi halfway, so that he could not see Shisui's death with his own eyes. For this kind of thing, seeing it with his own eyes and hearing it from the others are two different concepts. Regarding Shisui's disappearance, Akatsuki's intelligence network definitely detect it. Although he has been missing for such a long time and although his body cannot be found, it is basically certain that he died.
Obito originally wanted to use this to stimulate Itachi, but the result was a failure. Obito actually didn't have much expectations for this. After all, Shisui has already disappeared for so long, and Itachi himself has already had such a thought in his heart, so this stimulation is not enough.
Without Shisui, Obito thought that only Fugaku and Itachi's other families can awaken his eyes, but Obito is afraid to go to the current tiger den, as that place is too terrifying.
In addition, Biwa Juzo, who was supposed to team up with Itachi in the original work, was also killed by Asahi before, so Itachi could not witness Juzo's death, and up until now, he hasn't awakened his Mangekyo.
Of course, Itachi's talent is still very good, and even without Mangekyo, he is still very strong. Moreover, without the drag of having Mangekyo, his own talent is enough to support him to enter Kage-level. Strictly speaking, although Mangekyo is an increase, there is no way to eliminate its side effects, and this increase will only become a burden after a period of time.
"We all know about the specific situation. The purpose of our organization's existence is also this. However, with Iwagakure's iron defense, even if our Akatsuki rushes in together, the result won't be good!"
After listening to Pain's words, the others were silent, but Sasori spoke quickly. He believed that he is very strong, and even Sandaime Kazekage has been turned into puppet by his hands, but what kind of place is Iwagakure? There's no way Akatsuki can do anything about it.
"Iwagakure's problem will be put to the end, and there will be arrangements later!"
When Pain's voice came, the others kept complaining, but since the leader has said that, they couldn't do anything about it, so they could only give up temporarily, and take care of the other Biju first.
The meeting ended soon after, and after that, in Amegakure, Konan looked at Nagato helplessly.
"Sasori is right. We are not Iwagakure's opponents at all. The power that Iwagakure has accumulated now is indeed a bit too terrifying."
Konan looked at Nagato and said. Regarding the other Shinobi Villages, they can be regarded as their own places, and they can come and go whenever they want, but Iwagakure is a fully armed base, and they will die if they go.
"Maybe we don't need to be entangled with Iwagakure. Konan, what is the purpose of the Akatsuki we create?"
Nagato took a deep breath and asked.
"To bring peace to the Shinobi World. What's wrong?"
Konan looked at Nagato in confusion, not knowing what he was going to say.
"Yes, it is to bring peace to the Shinobi World, and I don't need to say anything about Iwagakure's power. Iwagakure has completely swallowed Konoha's talents, and apart from Kumogakure, Iwagakure has collected a lot of talents from other villages."
"According to our intelligence, the combined strength of these people is not weak anymore. Moreover, there's Asahi, the current God of Shinobi, and four of the Biju. If our Akatsuki confronts them, we're basically courting death. If we still have the Gedo Statue, I might still dare to fight them, but the Gedo Statue is gone, so it won't be so easy to control the Biju."
"Therefore, our strength is too far behind them, but there is one thing. Iwagakure has such a huge power, but they don't care about the other villages. If it is placed with any other village, then it is not surprising that the Shinobi World would become a mess, and even other Shinobi Villages may be wiped out by them."
"But the current Iwagakure didn't have any movement at all. Their power is already enough to sweep the entire Shinobi World, but they have been letting the other villages in the Shinobi World operate like normal. What kind of attitude is this? Did they disdain them or that they themselves are eager for peace?"
"If this status quo is maintained, I think it's not bad, but other Shinobi Villages are different and need to be beaten!"
Nagato is also helpless. If he can, he will definitely go to Iwagakure to cause trouble. To put it bluntly, he is the kind of person who would worry about nothing. The current Iwagakure longs for peace, but after a change of leader in the future, he didn't dare to bet. So he can only make excuse for himself.
This kind of thing is not up to him, but depends on whose fist is bigger. Of course, in addition to self-hypnosis, what he said is partly true, that is, the current Iwagakure didn't start a big war.
"That… do you really think so?"
Konan looked at Nagato's eyelids which are twitching uncontrollably a few times. After spending so many years with Nagato, she naturally knew what kind of person Nagato was. If it wasn't for Iwagakure being too strong, Nagato would definitely go to Iwagakure to cause trouble without hesitation.
But now they are too strong, so he didn't dare to do it.
"Maybe!"
After Nagato finished saying the last three words, he stopped talking. This reason was used by him to hypnotize himself. He was also very helpless about this. Although he wanted to do something, his strength didn't allow it. If he really goes there, he will only be courting death.
Nagato is helpless in his heart, so he can only hypnotize himself slowly. At least, as long as Iwagakure does not take action, he will not target Iwagakure.
