Not long after, Konohagakure village had already informed all ninja villages with Tailed Beasts about the Akatsuki organization's target. However, the result was just as Minato and the others had expected; the other ninja villages didn't take Konohagakure's warning seriously. Despite the precedent set by Sunagakure Village, the One-Tail was after all the weakest among the Tailed Beasts, and the Kazekage was a young man of sixteen or seventeen, so it was normal for him not to be very strong. Therefore, they believed that the One-Tail was captured by the Akatsuki organization not because the members of the Akatsuki were too strong, but because the people of Sunagakure Village were too weak.
What they didn't know was that this view would completely change in a few months, and the Akatsuki organization would become the enemy of all ninja villages.
The villages that currently still have Jinchuriki are Kirigakure Village, with the Six-Tails Jinchuriki; Iwagakure Village, with the Four-Tails and Five-Tails Jinchuriki; Kumogakure Village, with the Two-Tails and Eight-Tails Jinchuriki; Takigakure Village, with the Seven-Tails Jinchuriki; and Konohagakure Village, with the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki.
"Raikage-sama, shouldn't we be on guard against the Akatsuki organization?"
In the office of Kumogakure Village, the Raikage's secretary, Mabui, spoke to the Fourth Raikage, A.
"No need, they are just an organization of worms gathered together, not to be feared," said the Fourth Raikage with a tone of contempt.
"But after all, they have successfully captured the One-Tail of Sunagakure Village. If it weren't for a Sunagakure Village elder reviving the Kazekage with a secret technique, Sunagakure Village might be electing the Sixth Kazekage by now."
"Hmph, the current Kazekage is just a brat. Moreover, our Kumogakure Village's Jinchuriki, Killer Bee and Yugito Nii, are perfect Jinchuriki who can control the power of the Tailed Beasts. Even if the Akatsuki organization's people come, it will just be walking into a trap."
The Raikage was still very confident in his village's Jinchuriki.
Mabui wanted to say something else, but when she saw the current state of the Raikage, she knew that anything she said now would be useless.
However, Mabui had already made up her mind; she would definitely remind Yugito Nii and Killer Bee-sama to be careful in private.
Iwagakure Village was also discussing this matter, but compared to the safety of the Tailed Beasts, there was something else that made them more uncomfortable: the death of Deidara, the disciple of the Third Tsuchikage.
Although Deidara had long been a rogue ninja of Iwagakure Village, he was after all the most proud disciple of the Third Tsuchikage. If Deidara hadn't defected from the village, the heavy responsibility of the Fourth Tsuchikage might very well have fallen on him.
"At first, when they learned that Deidara had defeated the Fifth Kazekage, Gaara, their initial reaction was not happiness for Deidara's achievement, but concern for Deidara's safety.
Even though Gaara's strength was the least among the Kages, he was still the Kazekage after all. Deidara's victory over him must have come at a great cost.
However, just a few days later, they received news of Deidara's death. For Oonoki, it was like a bolt from the blue. To him, Deidara was like a disobedient child.
But now this child had left him forever, which caused the Third Tsuchikage to fall seriously ill. He is still bedridden without any signs of improvement.
"Master, the ninja who killed Deidara are from Konohagakure, Uchiha Sasuke and Hatake Kakashi. Should we demand that Konohagakure hand over the murderers?"
At this moment, the Third Tsuchikage's guard, Akatsuchi, spoke up.
"Uchiha Sasuke and Hatake Kakashi?"
The Third Tsuchikage muttered these two names to himself.
But as soon as Konohagakure is mentioned, one cannot avoid mentioning the person that Iwagakure Village cannot get around, Hatake Satoru.
"Is Hatake Kakashi that Hatake Satoru's brother?"
After the incident involving Hatake Satoru, they had investigated all of Hatake Satoru's personal relationships, so they had come to understand his background.
"Yes, he is his brother."
When the name Hatake Satoru was mentioned, everyone in Iwagakure Village clenched their fists tightly. It was a shame that they could never erase from their village.
"But we cannot give up on avenging our brother Deidara."
At this time, Kurotsuchi, who was standing by, spoke up.
She had already guessed from the Third Tsuchikage's question that he was considering giving up on holding Konohagakure responsible.
"But Deidara was a rogue ninja from our Iwagakure Village. If we hold Konohagakure responsible, then Sunagakure Village will surely hold us accountable. Are we supposed to compensate them with a Tailed Beast?"
Hearing this, Kurotsuchi also fell silent. Although she had no fondness for Deidara, he was still a member of their Iwagakure Village. Now that their villager had been killed by someone from Konohagakure, and they could do nothing about it, it was something Kurotsuchi found hard to bear, yet it was a harsh reality.
In the face of Deidara's death, they were powerless to do anything.
"Mei, you must be careful recently. According to the information sent back by Deidara, every member of the Akatsuki organization is not to be underestimated; each possesses the strength of a Kage of a village."
"Subsequently, Otsutsuki addressed the two Jinchuriki from Iwagakure Village.
Mei was the new Jinchuriki for the Four-Tails, succeeding Roshi in Iwagakure Village.
Although Deidara was not an undercover agent sent to the Akatsuki organization by Iwagakure Village, he still had some feelings for Iwagakure Village; otherwise, he wouldn"t harbor such deep hatred for Hatake Satoru.
Therefore, some information about the Akatsuki organization, namely the details of its members, was also passed on to Iwagakure Village by Deidara.
"Don"t worry, Tsuchikage-sama, as long as anyone from the Akatsuki organization appears before me, I will ensure they won"t return,"
Mei said confidently.
After all, having just become a Jinchuriki, he was brimming with confidence, feeling that no one could be his opponent.
This state of mind was even somewhat arrogant.
"Mei, confidence is good, but never be overconfident. Moreover, you should familiarize yourself with the power of the Tailed Beast quickly. If you can"t control the power of the Tailed Beast, then it becomes a burden to us," Han, the fifth Jinchuriki, said. As someone who was usually silent, the fact that he spoke so much indicated his dissatisfaction with Mei"s performance.
"Don"t worry, Han-senpai, I will definitely make the Four-Tails submit to my power quickly," Mei said, patting his chest.
Everyone sighed softly at Mei"s attitude, knowing that whatever they said now, Mei wouldn"t listen. Only by witnessing the strength of those people firsthand might he become more restrained.
