"Hmm?"
Opening the scroll, before he could read the contents, Raikage's expression changed.
Information worth fifty million ryo, and it was just a few short sentences?
Is that it?
Are you Konohagakure trying to fool us?
If Yan wasn't sitting there with his legs crossed, looking relaxed, Raikage might have already jumped up to question him.
Suppressing his slight displeasure, Raikage patiently looked at the scroll.
The others also opened their scrolls.
The information worth fifty million ryo was just a few short sentences, which could be read in seconds if there were no problems with their eyes.
Suddenly, Raikage looked up, his gaze locking onto Yan like a beast, and said in a deep voice:
"Uchiha Yan, can you Konohagakure be sure this information is accurate and not just a guess?"
Amegakure Village, the leader of the Akatsuki organization, has the legendary Sage's Eye.
If this information is accurate, the price of fifty million ryo is indeed not expensive.
This information is worth it.
The others all showed surprise and looked at Yan together.
They wanted to confirm the authenticity of this information.
"It's absolutely true."
Yan leaned back in his chair, raised his hand seriously, and assured them:
"I can guarantee in the name of Konohagakure that this information is absolutely true, with no falsehoods. As for how Konohagakure found out, it has to do with Orochimaru, and of course, Jiraiya as well."
"Let me tell you a little story first."
The people from the four great ninja villages listened patiently as Yan slowly began to tell the story:
"During the Second Shinobi World War, Amegakure Village was at the forefront, and the war caused countless civilians in this country to lose their homes and lives. When the war between Konohagakure and Amegakure Village ended, Konohagakure was about to retreat, and at that time, the three Sannin encountered three children."
"Orochimaru suggested killing them, but Tsunade and Jiraiya refused.
Perhaps it was fate, but Jiraiya couldn't bear to see the three children wandering in the ruined Land of Rain.
So he stayed to take care of the three children."
"Under his care, the three children gradually grew up until one day, he discovered a secret.
Among the three children, there was a child named Nagato with the Uzumaki bloodline, who had a pair of unique eyes."
"Are these eyes the legendary Sage's Eye?"
Raikage couldn't help but interrupt:
"But I've never heard of the Uzumaki clan having such eye techniques."
Yan glanced at him and said calmly:
"Just because you haven't heard of it doesn't mean it doesn't exist. The legendary Sage's Eye, also known as the Rinnegan, was indeed in this child.
After the three children grew up, Jiraiya left the Land of Rain. Perhaps worried about causing trouble, he didn't pass this information to the higher-ups.
So the higher-ups were kept in the dark."
I see.
Chiyo was about to question why Konohagakure wasn't interested in the legendary Sage's Eye if they knew about it, but Yan's explanation came first.
Jiraiya didn't say anything, so only he knew.
"After Jiraiya left, the three children created the Akatsuki organization to quell the internal strife in Amegakure Village and the Land of Rain. They had a great wish to end wars in the ninja world."
A sneer came from Raikage's mouth; he felt like he had heard a funny joke.
The representatives from other villages had similar thoughts.
Did they really think that just because of the Akatsuki organization, the ninja world would be at peace and there would be no more wars?
That was too naive.
Shaking her head, Chiyo asked:
"If that's the case, then why did Konohagakure and the Akatsuki organization, despite having some goodwill, end up in this situation?"
The Night of the Nine Tails was a painful event for Konohagakure, and the person responsible was a member of the Akatsuki organization.
"Don't forget, Konohagakure, like your Sunagakure Village, was one of the parties that actively spread the war to the Land of Rain.
Even if Jiraiya had goodwill, would the other side necessarily appreciate it?"
"Moreover, our former Hokage's assistant did a good deed by teaming up with the former leader of Amegakure Village, Hanzo the Salamander, to launch a plot against the Akatsuki organization.
Although they succeeded in forcing one of the three to death, they also completely offended the other side."
It was Danzo's fault, and he had to bear it, even if he was already dead.
"Alright, I won't say more. As for why Konohagakure shared and sold the information, you guessed it right. The Akatsuki organization crossed Konohagakure's bottom line.
Konohagakure can no longer tolerate the existence of this organization, not to mention they are targeting the village's Jinchuriki."
Yan leaned forward slightly:
"Everyone, I'm not trying to scare you, but the Akatsuki organization has the ability and the ambition to do it. Whether you believe it or not is up to you."
Sometimes, being honest can reduce misunderstandings and suspicion.
Regarding the Akatsuki organization, Konohagakure didn't need to hide anything. Our goal was to make things difficult for the Akatsuki organization.
So sharing and selling information was to bring you all in.
As for what you do, that's up to you. Anyway, the Akatsuki organization has things that attract you and poses a potential threat to your villages.
Threats are nothing new. The five great ninja villages face many threats.
For example, many small villages and countries have always clamored to replace the five great ninja villages, but can they do it?
Compared to the potential threat of the Akatsuki organization, Yan was more willing to believe in the greed of the four great ninja villages for the Rinnegan.
The legendary Sage's Eye and the Uzumaki bloodline, I believe they would be interested in these things.
The Uzumaki bloodline is not much, but the Sage's Eye is truly tempting.
The information was sold, and the money was received. As for Konohagakure sending people to investigate Amegakure Village and losing them, Yan had no intention of sharing such unimportant information with other villages.
If you want to know more, then obediently send people to investigate.
Don't expect Konohagakure to share all the information with you.
Immediately organize people to go to Amegakure Village to investigate. Make sure to find out everything about the Akatsuki organization and get more information about the Sage's Eye.
Kumogakure Village acted the fastest.
While the messages from other villages were still on the way, Kumogakure Village's secret team had already left the village.
They secretly headed to the Land of Rain.
Raikage was very interested in the Sage's Eye.
After buying the information, A immediately discussed it with the village's higher-ups, and that night, a secret team left Kumogakure Village.
By the time other villages received the news, Kumogakure Village's people had already entered the Land of Rain, surely getting a head start.
As for Konohagakure... most of the higher-ups in Amegakure Village believed that Konohagakure was also interested in the Sage's Eye, but unfortunately, they were powerless.
The threats from other villages are much greater than those from Konohagakure.
Take Iwagakure Village, for example.
As soon as Oonoki gets the news, he will act immediately.
"Bring Kitsuchi to me."
As soon as he got the news, Oonoki skipped the higher-ups meeting and directly ordered his son Kitsuchi to lead a Jonin squad to the Land of Rain.
As for the higher-ups meeting, it can be held later.
They can't let Kumogakure Village get too much of a head start.
