I unleashed a Hundred Demons Parade in the Ninja World

"It's time for that guy to step out from behind the scenes and into the spotlight."

In contrast to the former's solemnity and deep thought, White Zetsu seemed a little impatient, eager to eliminate this hidden danger as soon as possible.

"No,"

"There's no need for us to break off relations before those two make a move."

"Although there are risks in continuing this cooperation, both hunting and extraction require a lot of energy, and the Akatsuki organization is not yet at a point where it is fully powerful."

"Just relay this to Obito, tell him to stay vigilant and prepare for the worst."

Black Zetsu denied it in a deep voice.

Although they were unwilling to allow such a hidden danger to appear in their plans.

However, the overall plan is in a transitional phase, with only three tailed beasts successfully hunted, which is less than half of the total, including the one that was just captured.

Changing commanders at the last minute

This will inevitably deal an irreversible blow to the Akatsuki, an organization already rife with mutual distrust and hidden agendas.

"cut,"

"Then let those two guys keep jumping around for a while longer."

"I'll go and inform Obito about this now. He should still be teaming up with Itachi Uchiha."

As they spoke, the side of the strange man that was pure white suddenly peeled off a pool of white liquid from his body, like melted cream.

The white liquid, after separating, grew into the form of an adult human at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Furthermore, this split-off manifestation did not have the same 'aloe vera' decoration as the original.

[Secret Technique: Spore Technique]

"Let's go. The ritual to remove the one-tailed Shukaku is about to begin."

"And from now on, we must keep a close eye on Nagato and Konan's every move."

"Especially the former, even if it offends him."

As the White Zetsu clone gradually sank into the ground, the hoarse-voiced Blackface continued to add.

"Ok, I know."

As they spoke, the strange black and white carbon-based creature slowly sank down as well.

However, during the descent, the white half seemed to remember something and said in a somewhat unexpected tone:

"Oh, right."

"The chaos that ensued in the Land of Lightning due to the death of the daimyo has been quelled."

Over the years, his spore clones have been distributed across various countries in order to obtain firsthand information on the dynamics of each Jinchūriki.

The Eight-Tails Jinchuriki is one of the targets they are particularly looking for.

However, after the chaos three years ago, Killer Bee, the host of the Ushioni, seemed to have completely vanished from the Land of Lightning and never appeared again.

This also highlights the Fourth Raikage's strong emphasis on protecting this piece.

"You should know that the matter of the Daimyo of the Land of Lightning is not important to us."

"They would not choose to hire the Akatsuki to do their work."

"The important thing is the whereabouts of the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki."

Upon hearing this, the owner of the hoarse voice was clearly unwilling to listen any longer.

After all, as he said, since Akatsuki successfully hunted the Two-Tails Jinchuriki three years ago, they have formed an irreconcilable enmity with Kumogakure.

The subsequent actions against the Land of Rain, which took this incident as a dividing line, were all initiated by the other side.

The reason there has been no recent action is simply because the other side is preoccupied with its own turmoil and has no time to spare, not because they have forgotten this grudge.

"But do you know who ultimately put an end to this farce?"

Sensing the impatience in the other's tone, White Zetsu did not back down. Instead, he asked the question with increasing interest.

After all, it was his own spore clone that was gathering intelligence.

Just moments before learning of the successful hunt for the One-Tailed Jinchuriki, this clone, which had returned from the Land of Lightning, returned to the main body and relayed the information.

“The Land of Lightning is not as centralized and autocratic as the Land of Earth.”

"The Fourth Raikage's fiery temper means he won't easily submit like other Kage."

Seeing Black Zetsu's growing interest, Yu Zhi's eyes gleamed with even more amusement, and a strange smile crept onto his lips.

"Who?"

A hoarse voice came out.

Black Zetsu finally had some doubts.

Indeed, given the warlike and volatile nature of the Land of Lightning, it is already quite surprising that it could simultaneously accommodate both the Daimyo's Mansion and the Hidden Cloud Village, a formidable force.

The fact that they resolved the internal problems so quickly suggests something fishy is going on.

"It's that guy from Konoha."

"That old fellow who fled the village under the cover of night like a stray dog."

"He once entrusted us with a task."

"Although, it was done anonymously."

White Zetsu's voice rose higher and higher. He was quite surprised when he received the message, but before he could share it, he was interrupted by the urgent news that the One-Tailed Jinchuriki had been captured.

"Danzo?"

"Shimura Danzo!"

"It was him! He's still alive!"

"No,"

"That old fox really won't die easily."

Based on that extremely vivid description, Black Zetsu instantly guessed who the guy was.

And his voice involuntarily rose a notch, followed by a subconscious affirmation:

"If it is him, he certainly has the ability and skill to quell the chaos caused by the assassination of the daimyo by the Cloud Village ninja in a relatively short period of time."

"Moreover, that guy will definitely not work wholeheartedly for the Land of Lightning or the Hidden Cloud Village."

"This may be an opportunity for us to find the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki, or even accomplish more."

As his emotions gradually stabilized, Black Zetsu, having withstood the test of time for a thousand years, began to think of more things.

As he muttered to himself, a meaningful glint of excitement flashed in his golden pupils.

"Once we deal with the One-Tailed Beast, there's still the Nine-Tailed Beast. We'll have Obito contact it. For now, you shouldn't show up, so as not to alert it..."

Long after their conversation faded into the ground, the bushes dozens of meters away suddenly trembled. Then, the silhouette of a gigantic creature emerged from the rain; upon closer inspection, it was revealed to be a terrifying, monstrous chameleon.

And most strangely, its pair of beastly eyes were a swirling dark purple!

At that moment, this colossal creature, beyond human comprehension, suddenly opened its mouth, and a tall, thin male figure with orange hair emerged from its body, stepping on the chameleon's long tongue.

On his expressionless face and in his eyes, which also displayed dark purple swirling patterns, there was no clear emotion.

However, his hands, hanging at his sides, were clenched into fists.

.........

.........

Boss, help! Help!

It's them!

'It's those self-proclaimed "Akatsuki" bastards!'

'I can't beat them!!'

‘…..’

The terrified plea for help from Shukaku caused Ara's 'black windmill', which had barely disappeared from his sight, to reappear and begin to spin again.

He knew that his plan had worked.

We've got you.

It has to be you!

That's right,

Gaara was his bait.

It was bait to lure the Akatsuki organization, this big fish, out of the picture.

The reason why Arakawa moved towards the Land of Rice Fields at the start of the great war was because Ara was certain that there must be White Zetsu spies outside of Konoha.

That shadowy creature lurking in the corner would never let go of any opportunity to hunt tailed beasts!

of course,

Gaara was able to pass through the Eight Gates Closure Barrier constructed by Fugen because Ara, under orders, intentionally allowed it.

"Quan, we'll leave the relocation of our people to you."

"I have one more thing to do, but I'll catch up with you soon."

After forcibly suppressing the restlessness in his heart, he spoke to the girl he trusted most.

"Well, I see."

"Leave it all to me."

Upon hearing this, a look of worry appeared in the girl's eyes.

However, he quickly and carefully suppressed these emotions and responded affirmatively.

"Chino, Hanzo, Guren."

"I'll leave the bodies of our fallen comrades to you. Make sure you bring them back without missing a single one."
