Chapter 506 - Chapter 263: Awe, From Today On, the World's Initiative Is in Our Hands

It is well-known.

Jiraiya is an excellent teacher.

In terms of teaching skills, Jiraiya is undoubtedly top-notch, at least the disciples he trains are more prone to causing trouble than others.

Now, Jiraiya feels a headache, a serious headache.

Nagato and Konan's Akatsuki Organization is capturing the Tailed Beasts across the Ninja World, giving an impression of a major conspiracy within the Akatsuki Organization; Akihara Kagura is also adding fuel to the fire in the Ninja World, giving an impression that Konoha is ready to launch a new Ninja World War at any moment.

"Don't worry."

"You can ask Kakashi and the old man about this."

Jiraiya could only first help Tsunade resolve the current issue, believing that Akihara Kagura bringing back the Fourth Raikage wasn't a big problem: "Kakashi and the old man both know about Kagura capturing the Mizukage and Tsuchikage, you can gain some experience from them..."

"..."

Tsunade could only sigh helplessly.

As expected.

Just as Jiraiya predicted.

Neither Kakashi Hatake nor the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen were particularly surprised about Akihara Kagura capturing the Fourth Raikage, and even proactively suggested detailed solutions, from how to appease the Fourth Raikage to how to get the Fourth Raikage to sign the treaty of surrender.

"Just be careful not to let Danzo find out..."

The reanimated Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen shuddered at this point, realizing that his old friend Shimura Danzo had been dead for two or three years, and that the body used for this Reanimation Jutsu was actually Danzo's corpse.

"I understand."

Tsunade still thought that Danzo was alive.

Many people in Konoha believed that Shimura Danzo was still alive, just confined in the Root Base and had completely retired, perhaps even regretting the incident that led to the Third Hokage's death, so much so that even the two retired advisor elders wanted to catch up with him but didn't want to meet him face to face.

Following the advice from Kakashi Hatake and Sarutobi Hiruzen, Tsunade led the Dark Department to meet him outside Konoha Village in advance; unfortunately, she couldn't block the news from the Root Base like Sarutobi Hiruzen did because the person who captured the Fourth Raikage was the current leader of the Root Base.

This meeting felt somewhat novel to Tsunade.

Because the last time she met the Fourth Raikage, the Fourth Raikage took the Secret Technique of Xuanyuan Group, a group of Hidden Cloud Ninja were hunted by the Xuanyuan Group, and one of the Hidden Cloud Ninja almost died due to the Secret Technique, but was saved by Shizune by Tsunade's side.

Unexpectedly...

At their next meeting...

She was the Fifth Hokage of Konoha, and the Fourth Raikage was already a captive.

"Long time no see, Lord Raikage."

Tsunade greeted the Fourth Raikage in a very friendly manner when she saw him.

"Tsunade..."

The Fourth Raikage's face remained somewhat angry.

Even if the Fourth Raikage had opted to submit for the sake of the Hidden Cloud Village, he himself was not willing to directly bow down to Konoha like this, not even in death!

However, Akihara Kagura wasn't interested in listening to their exchanges, greeted them, and then returned to the Root Base, as there were still many things to handle these days he had been away.

In the office.

Akihara Kagura just closed the door.

White Zetsu Awei's body emerged from the ground and addressed the first issue: "The last time you recalled the Four Hokages, Obito managed to escape safely, also allowing the Akatsuki Organization's plan to proceed, and Obito was very pleased..."

[System Notification]: [Recalled the Four Hokages to Konoha, preventing them from continuing to pursue Uchiha Obito (seventy-sixth time), task completed, reward: Uchiha Obito's combat experience.]

"..."

Akihara Kagura frowned.

The resources on Uchiha Obito had been completely exhausted.

Over the past two or three years, Akihara Kagura had thoroughly exploited Uchiha Obito's abilities by using the Four Hokages to repeatedly chase him down.

This also signaled that Uchiha Obito, who had always underestimated him, was no longer of much utility.

"Obito also wants you to send Hidan and Kakuzu back..."

White Zetsu Awei glanced at Akihara Kagura's expression, sensing his displeasure, quickly interrupted himself, and softly asked, "What's wrong, young man?"

"I'm fine."

Akihara Kagura slowly shook his head.

Although White Zetsu Awei conveyed Uchiha Obito's orders, Akihara Kagura hadn't been given any tasks by the work system, which indicated that the system hoped he would switch sides.

However...

Uchiha Obito seemingly never considered this possibility.

"Then I'll move onto the second matter..."

White Zetsu Awei continued to convey Uchiha Obito's orders to Akihara Kagura: "Obito also wants Uchiha Sasuke and Uchiha Itachi to commence their duel as soon as possible..."

"Alright."

Akihara Kagura nodded again, waved, and said: "I'll handle this matter promptly, by the way, Awei, inform them that I can revive Uchiha Madara in his prime now."

"Really?"

"Yes."

Akihara Kagura massaged his temples and whispered: "But I'll need a powerful sacrificial body, hopefully, they can provide me with a White Zetsu with a strong life force..."

"Okay."

White Zetsu Awei quickly sank back into the ground.

Knock knock knock...

A knocking sound came from outside the door.

The first to visit Akihara Kagura was not Karin, but Uchiha Sasuke, who had been eagerly waiting for news from him, hoping to gain Akihara Kagura's permission to seek revenge.

Uchiha Sasuke solemnly made his request: "I want to kill Uchiha Itachi and Uchiha Obito and complete the revenge for the Uchiha Clan..."

"Alright."

Akihara Kagura agreed and pulled out a ninjutsu scroll, tossing it directly to Uchiha Sasuke: "While I was away, I heard you've been performing well. This is my reward from the Hidden Cloud Village. You and Kakashi should train in this jutsu..."

"This is..."

Uchiha Sasuke opened the scroll.

It was the Secret Technique of the Hidden Cloud Village, the Lightning Release Chakra Mode.

In all of Konoha, only Uchiha Sasuke and Kakashi Hatake were suited to train in this Secret Technique because they were the most proficient in Lightning Release Jutsu.

No doubt.

The Lightning Release Chakra Mode would significantly enhance their combat power.

Akihara Kagura leaned on his desk and stated his terms: "Master this jutsu first, then go fulfill your revenge..."

"I understand."

Uchiha Sasuke nodded slightly.

Since joining the Root, Uchiha Sasuke always felt that his path of revenge was smooth sailing, and even his life had fully gone on the right track.

Many people believed that his life had gotten on track.

Even Uchiha Obito, no longer being hunted by the four Hokage, thought he was on track, and the Moon Eye Plan was being carried out in an orderly fashion.

The One-tail, Two-tail, Three-tail, Four-tail, Five-tail, Six-tail, and Seven-tail, these tailed beasts were successively captured by the Akatsuki Organization, leaving only the Eight-tails and Nine-tails.

The Eight-tails posed a small problem.

Even though the Hidden Cloud Village was captured by Akihara Kagura, and even the Fourth Raikage was taken away, attacking the Hidden Cloud Village with the combat power of the Akatsuki Organization still posed some challenges.

Therefore.

The Akatsuki Organization had to concentrate its forces.

At the Akatsuki Hideout.

Uchiha Obito somewhat regretted not fully utilizing Akihara Kagura.

"Hmph, if I had known that Akihara Kagura could capture the Hidden Cloud Village, I should have let him take the Eight-tails Jinchuriki during the chaos and hand it over to us..."

"It's alright."

"Now there are only two tailed beasts left..."

Black Zetsu was also sighing over the smoothness of the plan, a smirk appearing on half of his face: "We just need to gather the last two tailed beasts to resurrect Madara and activate the Moon Eye. To ensure that nothing goes wrong when Kagura captures the Nine-tails, the Akatsuki Organization will capture the Eight-tails..."

"Hmph, I hope the plan goes smoothly!"

Uchiha Obito furrowed his brows, with a hint of unease in his eyes: "Konoha still has four Reanimated Hokage. Even with that kid Akihara Kagura on our side, capable of helping us capture the Nine-tailed Jinchuriki, the plan might still face unexpected changes..."

"..."

Black Zetsu chuckled darkly, reminding Uchiha Obito: "I have long since made all the preparations. The last time Awei reported the information from Kagura's side, Kagura could resurrect Madara in his prime..."

"As long as Madara is resurrected..."

"No one will be his match..."

"Even the First Hokage Senju Hashirama won't be his match!"

Everything...

Is under control.

Now, as long as the Akatsuki Organization's members gather and attack the Hidden Cloud Village to capture the Eight-tails Jinchuriki Killer Bee, Akihara Kagura can secretly resurrect Uchiha Madara!

Then...

They will cause havoc in Konoha!

Uchiha Madara and Akihara Kagura will fight shoulder to shoulder against the four Reanimated Hokage, Nagato and Uchiha Obito will capture the Nine-tailed Jinchuriki Naruto Uzumaki, and after fully resurrecting the Ten-tails, Nagato will use the Rinnegan to resurrect Uchiha Madara!

At that moment...

It will be the time to truly complete the Moon Eye Plan!

At that moment...

Everyone will know the truth of the Ninja World!

Black Zetsu thought of his plan with an increasingly sinister smile, having arranged for White Zetsu Awei to inform Kagura to secretly use the Reanimation Jutsu to resurrect Uchiha Madara in his prime.

As for the sacrificial offering for the resurrection...

Isn't White Zetsu Awei just the offering?

Konoha Village.

Root Base.

White Zetsu Awei brought back Uchiha Madara's body, looking somewhat crestfallen since he received the order that he must become the sacrificial offering.

"Farewell then, young one..."

White Zetsu Awei sighed deeply, saying what Zetsu instructed him: "The main body wants me to be the sacrificial offering for the Reanimation Jutsu to resurrect Lord Madara..."

"Whoever wants you to be the offering, make them the offering."

Akihara Kagura responded without lifting his head, seemingly never intending to sacrifice Awei, making White Zetsu Awei almost want to cry.

"Young one."

White Zetsu Awei didn't quite understand this feeling, lacking human biological functions, he shamelessly asked: "Do you know what it feels like to cry?"

"You won't need to understand in the future."

Akihara Kagura lifted his head, glanced at the body brought by White Zetsu Awei, and pulled out a sealing scroll: "Alright, from today onward, as long as Madara's body is in our hands, the initiative in this world is within our grasp."
