After all, he didn't want the entire Kingdom of Craftsmen or the entire village of craftsmen; he wanted some craftsmen who were eager to break free from their current situation, some skilled craftsmen who could truly be of use to him.

"Although we are not strong enough, you don't need to humiliate us again and again."

Bao Gui's arm, gripping his weapon tightly, trembled—a tremor of rage.

These invaders have already driven them to this point, what more do they want?

The temporary pauses in hesitation are due to an innate fear of death and a lingering attachment to the world.

Even professionally trained ninjas may not be able to face death, let alone them.

"To resurrect our ancestors and thereby break free from the control of the five great nations."

"Do you really think that those corrupt fellows who couldn't even lead the Kingdom of Craftsmen out of the mire a hundred years ago can do it now?"

Huang's gaze was disdainful, and his words were sarcastic.

Those who listened before him trembled and their faces flushed. Even the battle blades they held tightly in their hands changed position and were aimed at the boy in their field of vision.

To humiliate oneself!

A nation that shames artisans!

Now, they're insulting their ancestors!

Anyone with a passion for justice would not forgive such an act!

"Don't go too far!"

Bao Gui growled, and the appellations preceding the words and phrases were all replaced here.

"When you launched your plan to revive your ancestors and declare war on the five great nations, did you really keep the Craftsman's Country and the village in your hearts?"

"Do you want to free the entire village and the entire country from the shackles of the five great powers, or is it simply that you can no longer tolerate this stifling life?"

Huang didn't try to understand the anger of the 'Four Heavenly Elephant People', but instead spoke to himself.

Overall situation,

It's something that's very difficult to explain directly.

Sometimes, forbearance is the most helpless but also the safest approach.

However, to truly break the deadlock, whether one chooses to endure or resist, a united front is needed.

The four people at present are probably just clowns that can be used in the eyes of the entire Kingdom of Craftsmen.

Success is bestowed with verbal honor, and everyone involved is elevated to a high position.

If I lose, I'll distance myself from it; it has nothing to do with me.

"Have you considered what your fate would be if the resurrected ancestors failed to help the Craftsman's Kingdom break free from the control of the five great powers?"

"And what about your companions?"

"Will the village and country you protect stand firmly by your side and do everything in their power to protect you?"

"Or will they, in order to beg for the forgiveness of the five great nations, draw a clear line and label you as traitorous ninjas?"

Having said that,

The four men's faces turned pale and they felt powerless.

Because at the beginning of the plan, they only thought about success and never considered failure.

Now, they can't even defeat this group of strangers in their sights. Can they really shake the five great ninja villages?

What will happen to them if the plan fails?

Will those cowardly conservatives speak up for themselves?

The boy's questioning deeply resonated with the four people.

“My family is in a similar situation to yours, which is why I’m giving you a little more time to consider.”

"Do you choose to offer your lives and loyalty, or to perish with this corrupt nation?"

After finishing his sentence, Huang turned and walked away, but halfway there he seemed to remember something and slowly stopped under the gaze of the four people.

"Of course, once you are under my command, you can still manage yourselves. Except for the ninja tools made for the Anbu, you can engrave your names on everything else."

"Should we remain imprisoned here, or should we reclaim the dignity and pride that belong to craftsmen?"

"Think it over carefully."

"I don't need many people."

As he spoke, he continued walking outside.

Similar circumstances.

[Engrave your own name!]

[Reclaim the dignity and pride that belong to craftsmen!]

Every word and every sentence resonated deep within the four men.

"Wait, please wait a moment."

"May I ask your name?"

Seeing the boy about to leave the room, Bao Gui suddenly moved and asked urgently.

Even without realizing it, I started using honorifics again.

Upon hearing this, Huang, who had reached the doorway, stopped and turned slightly to the side. As a crimson light shone through him, he uttered cold words.

"my name?"

"The Uchiha clan, Uchiha Ara."

Chapter 272 The Price of Rebellion: Unquenchable Suspicion

"Truly worthy of being called Itachi,"

"Even a near-perfect Four-Tails Jinchuriki is no match for your Mangekyou Sharingan."

Slightly excited exclamations echoed across the open fields.

Looking around, apart from a pitiful old man who had lost his will and collapsed to the ground, it seemed that only a young man wearing a red cloud-patterned trench coat was standing quietly.

However, based on the description in the text, the identities of the two people are quite obvious.

But strangely, the one who uttered the praise seemed to come from some eerie void, and there was no trace of a third carbon-based life form in the entire scene!

Hearing this,

Uchiha Itachi did not respond, remaining standing as if waiting for something.

As far as the eye could see, there were only jagged rocks and a terrifying scar on the ground!

It appears to have been eroded by a sudden surge of lava, and the entire area still retains the smell of sulfur.

And in the brief interval between the end of the battle, a slight energy fluctuation quietly shifted in the void, and a man wearing a vortex-shaped mask appeared in sight.

Meanwhile, the young man standing still did not make any movement, but his eyelids drooped slightly when the special spatial energy surged.

"Thank you for your hard work, Itachi."

"Now that I've managed to capture the Four-Tails by venturing deep into the Land of Earth alone, I'm sure those guys in the organization won't be saying anything carelessly anymore."

Obito Uchiha, who appeared amidst this chaotic scene, did not pay priority to the old man lying on the ground, reeking of burnt flesh. Instead, he stared at the young man in his field of vision and spoke meaningfully.

Now,

The atmosphere within the Akatsuki organization was not good, and there was even a tendency for it to split into several smaller groups.

First is Xiao Nan,

According to Bai Jue's surveillance, this girl has been secretly investigating something in recent years, and her actions seem to be intentionally or unintentionally guarding against Jue and herself.

This is definitely not a good sign.

Because Nagato, the nominal leader of the Akatsuki organization, is not entirely under his control.

Xiao Nan's will is very likely to influence the other party's judgment and decision-making.

Secondly, there are internal conflicts.

For example, Itachi Uchiha and Deidara were natural enemies, and Sasori and Deidara had opposing views on art, and so on.

If it were during a mission, it wouldn't be so bad. However, due to the instability of the external environment two years prior, the members of Akatsuki were mostly stationed at headquarters to recuperate. This further led to some provocations and frictions among these arrogant individuals.

Of course, the most troublesome one has to be Itachi Uchiha.

No one in the entire organization was willing to approach him!

This includes the leader Nagato, and Hidan, who is always clamoring to spread his faith.

One reason is due to their individual personalities; after all, strong people are often solitary and unwilling to submit to anyone else.

But the more important reason stems from the upheaval that occurred three years ago:

Kisame Hoshigaki, severely injured, has mysteriously disappeared!

This matter could have been attributed to foreign invasion, but the fact that the person cooperating with him was Uchiha Itachi is quite intriguing.

Looking back at history, shortly after this guy joined the Akatsuki organization, Orochimaru, as his senior, chose to defect without saying a word.

Although the reason given was that the latter wanted to steal Itachi's Sharingan, in the end, this was only Itachi's side of the story, and no one witnessed that clash.

No one knows the real reason or the true situation.

Perhaps Orochimaru sensed a threat from Itachi and chose to flee in advance to protect himself?

As for why they didn't suspect anything at the time, it was because doing such a thing was exactly in line with the behavior of that vile snake.

Now, upon careful consideration, it's somewhat chilling to think about.

And the death of Pipa Juzo!

This incident, too, is fraught with doubts.

The reason given by Itachi Uchiha was that he encountered the Fourth Mizukage, Yagura Karatachi, and that Itachi sacrificed himself to protect himself in front of the Mizukage who had transformed into a half-tailed beast.

This incident didn't attract any attention at the time. He was dead, so he was dead. It only proved that he lacked strength, and he could just find new companions later.
