Witty Naruto Life

Chapter 251: Akatsuki Begins His Operation (4K)

Upon hearing this, everyone around changed their expressions.

Naruto's expression was particularly grim.

He knew what Chiyo was trying to do.

Chiyo was putting herself in a very difficult position so that she could use this opportunity to get involved and influence the outcome of the meeting!

But there is a cunning double standard here: Chiyo said that the pre-conference teleconference was ideological interference, but isn't allowing more voices to appear at the Five Kage Summit also a form of ideological interference?
Fighting magic with magic, huh?
Mifune remained silent. He had no right to interfere with the Five Kage's freedom; he couldn't stop someone from sending private messages before the meeting.

He asked the Five Kage, "Gentlemen, is this matter true...?"

Raikage A spoke first. He couldn't understand the intricacies of the situation, so he simply blurted it all out: "I spoke with the Fifth Hokage before the meeting, but I clearly rejected her request."

He felt that he was completely upright and had no need to hide anything.

Unexpectedly, Mei Terumi questioned, "Raikage-sama, your statement proves nothing."

"What?" Ai frowned.

"Because regardless of whether you agree to the Hokage's request or not, you will never openly admit that you and the Hokage have reached an agreement." Mei Terumi's words hit the nail on the head.

This is also the most insidious aspect of Chiyo's move. No matter how the Five Kage explain it, no one else can believe it directly. It's a chain of suspicion that's hard to prove.

"But I refused!" A said impatiently. "Although we in Kumogakure have the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki, he is currently in a very safe place. I have no reason to agree to the Hokage's request."

"That's just your side of the story," Onoki said leisurely. "Oh, by the way, I didn't agree to the Hokage's request either. I'm neutral... Heh, but even if I said that, no one would believe me."

Onoki's claim of neutrality is just like some people online who claim to be rational and objective but whose opinions are dictated by their own biases.

It has no credibility whatsoever.

Mifune listened to their pronunciation and roughly understood the situation. He then said to the Five Kage, "Everyone, please raise your hand if you had a private conversation with the Hokage before the meeting."

As a result, apart from Mei Terumi, the other three raised their hands, making the meeting suddenly noisy.

Mei Terumi sneered, "Since things have come to this, can we skip the meeting? The final result will definitely suit the Hokage's wishes, won't it?"

She stared intently at Tsunade, a hint of reproach in her eyes.

The Raikage, Tsuchikage, and Sandkage remained silent.

Although they are well aware of their own inclinations, what if others have already sided with Konoha?
……

The meeting became a stalemate due to Chiyo's meddling.

Mifune called a halt to the conference and summoned his samurai advisors, who then began exchanging opinions with the Five Kage in hushed tones.

Naruto and Sakura sat in the back, and they were now being subjected to the scrutiny of everyone's gaze.

Anyone with a modicum of common sense would naturally realize that this was Naruto's idea, and in fact, it was.

But there's one rather annoying thing about this.

Naruto and Tsunade did not truly convince most of the leaders, who were still in a wait-and-see state.

Of the four Kage, only Gaara seems to favor Naruto, but Gaara is also constrained by Chiyo.

This old lady is really… Naruto suddenly realized that he hadn’t had the chance to witness Chiyo’s political skills in the original story, which led him to underestimate the veteran’s abilities.

In reality, what kind of person could survive two Shinobi World Wars?

"Do you regret saving Chiyo?" Sakura whispered in Naruto's ear again.

Naruto laughed and shook his head: "No, these two things are separate matters and shouldn't be confused."

"My desire to save Chiyo and my need to compete against Chiyo are not contradictory."

"Okay... I'm just afraid you'll regret it and then become a mess."

"Don't worry~ I'd rather have Chiyo fight against me than have her die."

The two were chatting privately when they suddenly heard Heitu's voice from afar: "Sister, don't be fooled by scheming men!"

She realized the relationship between Naruto and Sakura, and out of pity for the beautiful girl, she began to call out to Sakura.

Sakura suppressed a laugh, and Naruto, upon hearing this, gave Kurotsuchi a 'you just wait' look.

Look what you've done to yourself.

I'll find a chance to thoroughly humiliate you!

After some time, as the guards began to grow impatient, Mifune invited the five Kage to sit down again.

He stood in the middle and solemnly addressed the crowd: "Gentlemen, I have discussed a compromise with the Five Kage."

Everyone immediately perked up their ears to hear him continue: "First of all, we have no intention of asking what the five leaders did before the meeting."

"But we have an obligation to ensure that all parties can have full communication without being influenced by external factors,"

"Therefore, we will allow the Five Kage's subordinates to speak at this meeting, but there are conditions!"

"The Five Kage can designate their subordinates to speak when necessary, but they cannot express opinions; they can only state objective facts."

"Only the Five Kage have the right to express their opinions. If I hear anyone trying to influence the Five Kage's judgment, I will immediately stop them from speaking."

Mifune looked at the guards: "In other words, your statements can only be used as material for the Five Kage's judgment, do you understand?"

He looked at Chiyo, who exchanged a glance with Gaara, and then slowly nodded.

So these two had planned this beforehand... Naruto thought to himself, then exchanged a glance with Tsunade.

Rather, the current situation is advantageous to them.
Tsunade might not be able to explain the situation of the Akatsuki members clearly, but Naruto Uzumaki could.

“Then,” Mifune said, looking at everyone, “the meeting shall now begin.”

With all the curtains removed, this unprecedented meeting officially began, witnessed by the Five Kage and everyone else.

……

Yunyin Village.

Yunlei Gorge.

Here, clouds and mist swirl, mountains and rivers are beautiful, and a tall mountain stands tall in the clouds, tranquil and elegant.

Looking closer, a pointed tent was set up on a flat piece of land on the mountainside.

After the Third Raikage died from exhaustion, A inherited his father's will. In order to protect the Eight-Tails and his sworn brother, he ordered Killer Bee to live in this easily defensible mountain gorge.

He instructed Killer Bee to train with the Tailed Beast Ball here, and to use it to defeat any enemies he encountered.

This policy has been in place for a long time, and now, Kirabi has acquired terrifying power.

At a spot near the iron fence at the foot of the mountain.

The corpses of Cloud Village ninjas lay scattered on the ground. One of them, still alive, stared silently at the two before him and said:
"He is currently cultivating in Yunlei Gorge..."

"He has eight knives... He has a tattoo of the character 'Iron' on his right shoulder, and a tattoo of bull horns on his left cheek..."

With that, he collapsed limply to the ground with a "thud." The masked man looked at him expressionlessly, then withdrew his Sharingan and said to Deidara beside him, "Let's go."

Deidara glanced at him sideways, summoned a giant clay bird, and the two rode the wind towards the mountainside of Yunlei Gorge.

"How amazing..." Deidara couldn't help but exclaim during the journey.

"I never expected that you would actually be the leader of Akatsuki. This is truly beyond my expectations."

The masked man stood behind Deidara, quietly watching the scene unfold, and said in a calm tone, like Madara Uchiha, "There's nothing strange about it."

This operation was of great importance, so the masked man simply revealed his identity to Deidara and showed him that damned Sharingan.

Deidara had some feelings for the masked man; he wasn't exactly hostile towards him, but there was always a certain distance between them.

However, none of this affected their subsequent actions.

According to the masked man, this was just the beginning of the next operation, which made Deidara somewhat restless.

That's fucking exciting.

The two quickly flew to the mountainside of Yunlei Gorge and began to circle above the tent.

"We need to act quickly and decisively."

The masked man spoke coldly to Deidara, who nodded and reached into the ninja tool pouches on either side of his body.

Then, he took out a large lump of kneaded explosive clay, which looked like a ball.

C3·18, infused with the user's highest level of chakra, is made into a human-shaped puppet using explosive clay and airdropped directly. Its power is enough to destroy a village!
A winning hand right from the start!

Just as Deidara was about to throw it down, he suddenly saw a dark figure emerge.

"OMG, enemies have appeared above! They're probably bad guys. I need to deal with them quickly; this is urgent! Ugh~"

He tried his best to rhyme, unaware that the clay was faster than his brain, falling straight into the gorge, just as Deidara roared:
"drink!!"

C3·18 was followed by a loud bang!

"boom!!!"

"boom!!!"

"boom!!!"

A deafening roar erupted in the mountain gorge, blasting a deep crater into the flat ground halfway up the mountain. Debris flew everywhere, dust billowed, and the entire mountain began to tremble precariously.

The masked man narrowed his eyes, then unleashed his divine power, causing a distorted and rotating space to appear around him, pulling him completely into it.

"It seems the effect isn't particularly good, hmm!"

Deidara opened the binoculars in his left eye and noticed a figure with giant octopus tentacles rushing downwards.

He stared at Deidara above, but his attention was quickly drawn to Obito, who had been teleported out.

Killer Bee paused, noticing the masked man's attire, and said thoughtfully, "This is the Akatsuki that Big Brother mentioned, but your appearance makes me laugh, oh yeah~"

Suddenly, he froze on the spot, ignoring the threat from above, and pulled out a notebook to start taking notes.

shhhhhh...

The masked man did not make any rash moves, but quietly observed his actions.

The pen tip danced across the notebook, and Killer Bee quickly put it away, turning to the masked man in front of him:
"You provided me with inspiration, so I won't hold you responsible for destroying this place. Baka yarou, kono yarou."

Although he said that, his mind was racing.

To be able to bypass the Hidden Cloud Village's defenses, pinpoint his location directly, and unleash such a powerful ninjutsu right from the start...

He clearly realized that the person in front of him was definitely not a kind person.

"The Akatsuki are a bunch of bastards. One of them has mastered space-time ninjutsu, and the other is explosive clay..." Killer Bee thought to himself.

The masked man laughed: "It seems you haven't realized the seriousness of the situation yet. No matter, I'll let you taste what it's like to have your tailed beast stripped off."

"Haha!" Killer Bee laughed, unable to resist communicating with the Eight-Tails within his mind: "Did you hear that? These two idiots are trying to take you away. Otherwise, Hachi, give me some more chakra, and I'll smash them into the mud, yay~"

"Stop with your broken rhymes," Eight-Tails said seriously, looking at the masked man. For some reason, that Sharingan gave it immense pressure. "Go all out from here on out, and don't take any chances."

Hachi actually takes this seriously... Killer Bee suppressed his wishful thinking and thought to himself, "Then let's start directly from state two."

After saying that, he made an exaggerated gesture towards the sky: "Try to kill me, you bastard!"

Suddenly, his entire body transformed into a fiery red form in an instant, his pale, pupil-less eyes fixed on the two people before him with overwhelming malice.

It wasn't over yet. A snow-white skeleton then emerged from inside Killer Bee, gradually overlapping with his body and limbs.

But the next moment,
Killer Bee discovered that countless long white centipedes had emerged from beneath his feet, completely binding his body!

That was Deidara's clay centipede, which had burrowed into the ground a long time ago.

Deidara, from a distance: "Drink!!"

The explosion spread instantly, with flying stones and shockwaves relentlessly impacting the surroundings. The masked man instantly unleashed his divine power, allowing all the impacts to penetrate his body.

Then, the masked man charged forward.

He knew very well that this level of strength was not enough to directly defeat Killer Bee.

However, if Killer Bee were to have his hand touched by him and be imprisoned in Kamui Dimension, that would be a different story.

This was Obito Uchiha's fighting style before he acquired the Rinnegan. It was very simple: once he touched the enemy, the battle was basically over.

"boom!!"

Suddenly, a boulder twice the size of the man's body was thrown straight towards the masked man, making a loud thud in the air!

But this did not stop the masked man's steps. The boulder passed through his body, and the next moment, Killer Bee in his Four-Tails form retreated continuously, occasionally extending his chakra hand towards Obito, but he only managed to grab nothing.

"His body can become intangible, bastard, kono yaru!" Killer Bee cursed under his breath, then charged towards Deidara!

If I can't catch you, I can certainly catch your teammates!
His tail swept up a huge rock, and he shot straight at Deidara like a baseball, with extremely fast speed, like a meteor!
Deidara, without changing his expression, maneuvered the giant bird to fly to the side, easily dodging Killer Bee's rocks!
At the same time, a large number of C1-level clay birds flapped their wings rapidly and swooped down toward Killer Bee.

Ahead lies Deidara's bomb, behind him is the masked man's pursuit.

Killer Bee suddenly found himself in a dilemma!

But the next moment,
Killer Bee drew his longsword, imbued it with lightning, and hurled it like a javelin at the flying explosive clay!

Deidara's expression changed instantly, his face turning ashen as the memories of his dead began to attack him again.

He vaguely remembered that the person who possessed the Ice Release bloodline limit had told him that his information would be shared with the entire ninja world.

But the Five Shadows Conference just started, didn't it?

Or perhaps, the Hidden Cloud Village already had information about him?
Deidara felt completely awful.
