In a dark space, members of the Akatsuki organization used phantoms one after another. Using the magic of the lantern body technique, their shadows appeared on the fingers of the giant heretic statue. Pain stood at the top of the statue, overlooking the unconscious boy below—the Six-Tails Jinchūriki, Utakata.
There was no mercy in Pain's cold eyes. He looked around at the other members and slowly said, "Our plan has taken another step forward, but our enemies will also be more vigilant."
Kisame crossed his arms and said indifferently, "As long as we can realize our goal, no matter the cost."
Deidara looked a little excited: "Haha, I caught another tailed beast. We are getting closer to our ideal!"
Sasori remained silent, but the look in his puppet's eyes revealed a hint of coldness.
Kakuzu snorted: "Complete the seal as soon as possible to avoid complications."
Hidan smiled strangely at the side: "Hey, no matter what, we are invincible anyway."
Pain nodded and said in a deep voice: "Prepare to use the Nine Phantom Dragons Seal to seal the Six-Tails into the body of the heretic statue."
After hearing the words, everyone quickly stood up and began to form seals with their hands, chanting incantations. With their movements, powerful chakra fluctuations spread out. The runes on the heretic statue shone with a strange light.
Just when the sealing technique was about to be completed, one of the eyes of the heretic statue slowly opened, a blood-red light shot out, making the entire space tremble.
At the same time, in Kirigakure Village, the Fifth Mizukage, Mei Terumi, received shocking news: Two tailed beasts and their Jinchūriki had disappeared from the village! Panic ensued.
Mei Terumi was extremely anxious when she heard the news, and her beautiful face was filled with anger and anxiety. "How is this possible! The Akatsuki organization is so bold!" she snapped and immediately ordered an emergency meeting.
The atmosphere in the conference room was solemn and tense.
"Everyone, our Kirigakure Village has suffered an unprecedented crisis. The disappearance of the tailed beasts and their Jinchūriki is a huge provocation to our village!" Mei Terumi's voice was full of majesty and determination.
An older advisor said worriedly: "Mizukage-sama, the purpose of the Akatsuki organization is unknown, but they must have a huge conspiracy to capture tailed beasts in such large numbers."
"We must take action as soon as possible to retrieve the tailed beasts and Jinchūriki; otherwise, the consequences could be disastrous," said a young ninja.
Mei Terumi nodded and glanced at everyone: "I have ordered reinforcements. The village's defense team has also dispatched a reconnaissance team to search for traces of the Akatsuki organization. But we cannot act blindly; we must make a thorough plan."
Everyone nodded and began to discuss countermeasures.
"We must first understand the composition of the organization's members and their capabilities before we can effectively counterattack," said a ninja who was skilled in intelligence analysis.
"Perhaps we can unite with other ninja villages to fight against the Akatsuki organization," another ninja suggested.
Mei Terumi thought for a moment and said: "Uniting with other ninja villages is a feasible method, but we must also be prepared to deal with it alone."
Just when everyone was discussing in full swing, there was an urgent report: "Mizukage-sama, the investigation team found some suspicious clues!"
Mei Terumi's eyes flashed: "Quickly, tell me!"
"A large number of battle traces were found in a valley near the village, and there are marks unique to the Akatsuki organization."
Mei Terumi immediately stood up and said, "Gather the elite ninjas and follow me to the valley!"
The group quickly rushed to the valley and saw the devastation. There were deep ravines and signs of destruction everywhere.
Mei Terumi carefully observed the surroundings and thought to herself: "Judging from these traces, the battle was very fierce, and the Akatsuki organization came prepared."
"This is Yu Gao's clothing," a ninja said, his expression changing as he held up a tattered piece of cloth with the Kirigakure Village logo.
Mei Terumi took the clothing, her face terrifyingly grim: "This is Utakata's clothing. It seems he encountered misfortune here."
Everyone's hearts sank, and anger spread among them.
"Mizukage-sama, we must avenge Utakata!" a ninja said through gritted teeth.
Mei Terumi took a deep breath and suppressed the anger in her heart: "Now is not the time for impulsiveness. We must calm down, find the lair of the Akatsuki organization, and rescue the tailed beasts and Jinchūriki!"
After returning to the village, Mei Terumi continued to discuss countermeasures with everyone.
"We can look for patterns from the past actions of the Akatsuki organization and speculate about their next move," suggested a wise advisor.
Mei Terumi nodded: "This is one direction, but we must also strengthen our own capabilities and enhance the combat abilities of our ninjas."
As a result, Kirigakure began intense training and preparation. Ninjas practiced day and night, readying themselves for the upcoming battle.
On the other side, the Akatsuki organization successfully sealed the Six-Tails into the body of the heretic statue. But they did not stop.
Pain looked at the heretic statue and thought: "Next, we must speed up and collect more tailed beasts."
Kisame said: "The Mizukage will not give up; we must be careful."
Pain sneered: "Kirigakure is nothing to be afraid of. As long as we follow the plan, no one can stop us."
The members of the Akatsuki organization began to plan their next move, while Kirigakure Village was also nervously preparing for a counterattack. A fierce battle was about to break out...
As the days passed, the ninjas in Kirigakure continued their arduous training, growing stronger. Mei Terumi constantly collected intelligence and analyzed the movements of the Akatsuki organization.
Finally, one day, Mei Terumi received important news: The Akatsuki organization had appeared on the borders of a neighboring country. She immediately ordered the troops to set off.
When they rushed to the border, they found the Akatsuki organization fighting with the local ninja forces.
Mei Terumi gave the order: "Attack!"
The ninjas of Kirigakure Village descended like tigers, rushing toward the Akatsuki organization. When Pain saw this, he said coldly: "Just in time."
The two sides started a fierce fight. Mei Terumi confronted Pain directly, using powerful Water Style techniques to counter his Shinra Tensei. Kisame engaged in a fierce battle with other Kirigakure masters, his powerful Water Style and Samehada making it difficult for opponents. Deidara threw clay bombs from the air, attacking the Kirigakure ninjas and causing significant trouble. Sasori controlled his puppet, crashing into the battlefield. Kakuzu and Hidan used their abilities to fight against the Kirigakure ninjas.
The battlefield was filled with smoke and the shouts of fighting. Mei Terumi gradually gained the upper hand in her battle with Pain, her Water Style techniques becoming more powerful, forcing Pain to deal with them carefully.
At that moment, Pain suddenly used the Chibaku Tensei, and strong gravity pulled everything around into the air.
Mei Terumi's expression changed. She resisted the gravity with all her strength, but her body was still being sucked in. "Mizukage-sama!" the Kirigakure ninjas exclaimed.
At this critical moment, Mei Terumi burst out with powerful force, breaking free from the Chibaku Tensei's shackles. She breathed heavily and looked at Pain firmly: "Today is your end!"
Pain said coldly: "You are too naive."
The fighting intensified, and both sides suffered heavy casualties. At that moment, Mei Terumi suddenly discovered a flaw in the Akatsuki organization. "Now!" she shouted, leading the ninjas to launch the final charge.
The Akatsuki members began to show signs of defeat under this round of charges. Kisame, seeing the situation was not good, attempted to escape.
"Where are you going!" Mei Terumi chased after him, engaging in a fierce battle to the death. In the end, Kisame lost to Mei Terumi and was defeated. Other Akatsuki members were also defeated, either dead or fleeing.
Mei Terumi looked at the devastated battlefield, without the slightest joy in her heart. The whereabouts of the tailed beasts and Jinchūriki were still unknown, and this battle was just the beginning. "Clean up the battlefield and continue searching for the tailed beasts!" Mei Terumi ordered.
The ninjas in Kirigakure Village began to get busy, carefully searching for every clue. After much hard work, they finally found some clues about the tailed beasts.
Mei Terumi looked at these clues and rekindled hope in her heart: "No matter the cost, we must find the tailed beasts and Jinchūriki!"
In the following days, Kirigakure continued their pursuit, and the Akatsuki organization secretly planned a new conspiracy...
