Not long after returning to Akatsuki, Zhixue also received Pain's summons, but just as she went there, she felt the ground tremble.
"Sister Xiaonan, what's wrong?"
Seeing Xiao Nan walking up from below, Zhi Xue asked her a question.
"It's nothing, Nagato is just waking up the Ten-Tails to prepare for battle. The White Zetsu army is ready, and it's time to fight the Allied Shinobi Forces. When the battle starts, make sure you make sure you're safe, okay?" Konan stepped forward and ruffled Shiki's hair.
"Don't worry, Sister Xiaonan, my strength is considered above average in the organization. No one can hurt me," Zhixue said confidently, patting her chest.
Given the current situation, unless the Six Paths Elder forces a collective power-up on the Allied Shinobi Forces, it will be very difficult for anyone to harm her.
After saying goodbye to Xiao Nan, Zhi Xue continued running down the deep, spiral staircase.
In front of the Ten-Tails, Pain was setting up a battle plan at a table.
Let Hidan and Kakuzu handle the vanguard; they're both incredibly tough and resilient. The raiding party can be left to Sasori and Juzo Biwa; one is skilled in puppetry and poisons, while the other is a master assassin from the Blood Mist Village. As for the main force, Pain will lead it personally.
Deidara and Konan, as air support units, attacked the few remaining aerial units. They were also responsible for observing the entire battlefield due to their high mobility. Kisame, on the other hand, was skilled in large-scale water jutsu and could stay behind with Zetsu to guard the base.
As for Zhi Xue, Payne hasn't thought of assigning her to that area yet. Although she's very strong, she's just too strong, so it's hard to know where to place her.
Seeing Zhixue coming down the stairs, Payne called her over to ask for her opinion, since only he knew himself best.
"Ah, if it's the military, how can I not take responsibility? I'm not very good at leading troops, even though they're all a bunch of White Zetsu." Looking at the areas Pain had marked out around the base, Zhixue scratched her head and said with a headache.
Leading troops into battle is different from fighting. She's never done it before, so she probably wouldn't be very good at it. Compared to commanding a large force, she's better at individual operations.
"Is that so? If you really don't want to lead the troops forward, then go and join the raiding party. Together with Sasori and Juzo Biwa, create chaos for the Allied Shinobi Forces."
Hearing Payne's assignment, Zhi Xue nodded in agreement, then hesitated for a moment before asking, "Leader, have the forces of the five great nations finished assembling by now?"
"Why are you asking this?" Payne asked, looking at Zhixue with a somewhat dazed expression.
Three days later…
In the area where the Allied Shinobi Forces had gathered, envelopes with kunai stuck in them appeared on the tables of the Five Kage, each marked with the location where the Akatsuki was waging war against the Shinobi World.
It is located in the area where the Land of Frost and the Land of Lightning meet further north. It is a vast desert that is adjacent to the ocean, which is actually a fairly good terrain for the Allied Shinobi Forces.
Once the battle location was determined, the Five Kage reunited to discuss the issue of the commander-in-chief and the commanding force.
However, because of the sharing of intelligence between Shisui's wanted poster and the five great nations, Shisui, dressed in the Hokage robe, became the focus of attention as soon as he entered.
"Ah, it seems you all arrived earlier than me." Shisui placed the Hokage hat on the table and said with a gentle smile.
"Although this meeting is to discuss the issue of the commander of the Allied Shinobi Forces, I still have a question I would like to ask the Hokage." Ai Huan crossed her arms and spoke to Shisui with a serious expression.
The scene was quiet, but the Raikage's question was something that everyone present was curious about.
Is the Akatsuki member with the 300 million bounty on the wanted poster really the Hokage's biological sister, as rumored?
"Is the Raikage referring to that little girl who's a member of Akatsuki?" Chiyo interrupted the Raikage before he could even ask the question.
While in Sunagakure, Gaara recounted how Shisuke had rescued him from the clutches of Akatsuki. This led Chiyo to suspect that this powerful figure, who had once driven back the Sunagakure forces in the Land of Wind, might have infiltrated Akatsuki with a mission in mind.
"It seems the Kazekage knows as well. That brat on the wanted poster first captured the Eight-Tails, and then caused serious damage to our Hidden Cloud Village's forces. However, we only learned about the rumors that this terrorist was the Hokage's younger sister when the Allied Shinobi Forces joined forces. We're just here to further verify that." The Raikage explained to everyone present.
Seeing all the eyes on him, Shisui sighed.
"What you all say is correct; that little girl from the Akatsuki is indeed my younger sister."
Although they had expected it, everyone present was still taken aback when they heard the Hokage admit it himself.
Snapped!
"How could you be a Hokage like this?! You actually allowed your own sister to become a member of the Akatsuki and make an enemy of the entire ninja world! Do you know how many losses this will bring to the Allied Shinobi Forces?!"
The Raikage slammed his hand on the table, about to criticize the Hokage for acting like an older brother, when the Tsuchikage, Onoki, coughed and pulled him down. In some ways, he was similar to Shisui, so he should help him out.
After all, that brat Deidara was his apprentice, and he was also an enemy of the ninja world within the Akatsuki organization. It's just that he was good at keeping the news under wraps, otherwise he would probably be sitting here getting scolded too.
"Ahem, Raikage, don't be impulsive. This is not the time to talk about this. We are now the Allied Shinobi Forces, and we should be more united now. We should not create divisions and conflicts, as this will only benefit the enemy."
"What you said is true, but I seem to have heard that you also have someone who went to Akatsuki?" Raikage turned his gaze to Onoki and said suspiciously.
There was information before that there was a "demolition kid" in the Akatsuki organization, and it was rumored that he had some kind of ambiguous relationship with the old man, Onoki. I don't know if it's true.
Onoki:......
Chapter 262, You Are My Enemy
While the Five Kage were still discussing the meeting, a new round of discussions began inside the Konoha Allied Shinobi Forces camp, with the topic being Uchiha Shisui's election as Hokage.
Because Shiyuki was a member of the Akatsuki organization, the conservative faction, originally led by the Shimura clan chief, was revived.
"You all know about Uchiha Shisui's sister, right? We didn't discuss this before because of the overall situation of the Allied Shinobi Forces, but now that we've established ourselves here, it's time to bring it up!" Clan Chief Shimura slammed his hand on the table and said excitedly.
"What are you trying to say? Uchiha Shisui is the Hokage recognized by both Tsunade and Jiraiya. Do you think you can sway him with just a few words?" Uchiha Fugaku said, sitting opposite him with his arms crossed.
"So what if they acknowledge it? Do you know how the other ninjas in the Allied Shinobi Forces view us when they find out that the Hokage has a younger sister from the Akatsuki?" Chief Shimura slammed his hand on the table and pointed to the outer tent.
"These are just rumors. Maybe they just look a little similar," Fugaku said, frowning.
"They look somewhat alike, so why doesn't Shisui come out to clarify? You should know that Uchiha Shisui not only severely damaged the Cloud Village's forces more than a month ago, but also captured the Eight-Tails' Jinchuriki for the Akatsuki organization, making them an enemy of the entire ninja world."
"Even if it's as you say, it's just Uchiha Shiyuki's personal behavior. Please, Clan Chief Shimura, don't bring it up to the level of blood relations, and watch your words..." Fugaku said somewhat sullenly, hearing the malice in Clan Chief Shimura's tone.
"There are rumors circulating outside that Konoha is a cancerous cell planted by Akatsuki within the Allied Shinobi Forces. Doesn't Chief Fugaku think that's serious enough? Besides, judging from past experiences, Uchiha Shisui might also have some connection to Akatsuki. How can such a suspicious person become Hokage..."
"You old bastard..." Seeing that the Shimura clan head was determined to oppose his Uchiha clan, Fugaku suddenly stood up from the table with a gloomy expression, startling the Shimura clan head, who quickly took a few steps back.
"Don't be impulsive... Clan Chief Fugaku, fighting like this will only make things worse," Hiashi Hyuga quickly said, standing in front of Fugaku.
"Don't stop me! I'm going to strangle this damn old bastard! I've never seen such a shameless person!" Fugaku was so angry that his three tomoe bulged out of his eyes.
Did our Uchiha clan eat your rice? Our clan finally produced a Hokage, and if he steps down right after taking office, how will he face his clansmen?
While the discussions were in full swing in the camps of Konoha and the Five Kage, a large white clay bird flew in the sky more than 500 meters above.
Deidara, looking down at the countless tents below, suppressed the urge to unleash his ultimate artistic move. He turned to Zhixue, who was resting with her eyes closed, and said, "Hey, Xutong, we've arrived. The sky isn't absolutely safe either. Let's take advantage of this... um?"
Deidara was somewhat bewildered as he looked at Shisui, who was just a fleeting afterimage on the clay bird.
So fast? Those Uchiha brats have no manners, huh.
As Zhixue landed high in the air, feeling the gusts of air and the large green tents piled up on the ground, she also drew the Kusanagi sword from her sleeve.
In this situation, she'll probably have to step in and make way for her brother. If others think that a member of Akatsuki is related to the Hokage, who knows how much trouble that will cause. After all, he just became Hokage, and he needs to break the chains between them to secure his position.
"What's that in the sky?" a Konoha ninja patrolling around the camp asked, looking at a small black dot that was vaguely enlarging in the sky.
"Fire Release: Dragon Flame Singing Technique!"
More than a dozen enormous fireballs fell from the sky, and the sound of the flames hitting the barrier alerted the five shadows sitting at the conference table.
"What's going on?"
"Report! An air raid! The attacker is that Akatsuki girl that Raikage posted about before!"
Upon hearing the report from the ninja, the Raikage instantly kicked the chair away.
"That wretched brat dared to break into the Allied Shinobi Forces' base all by himself! I've finally caught him! Everyone, move out and capture him alive!" The Raikage glared at Shisui, then waved his hand and led the ninjas towards the direction of the incident.
Seeing the strange atmosphere in the meeting, Zhi Shui also sat up from his chair.
"I'll go out and take a look..."
Seeing the Raikage and Hokage leaving one after another, the Tsuchikage and Kazekage exchanged glances and then ran out together. The Mizukage, recalling Shiki's terrifying green-blue half-giant form, also felt a headache coming on.
"This is not good news..."
……
At the northern camp of the Allied Ninja Forces, a few blood-soaked ninja corpses could still be seen lying on the roadside occasionally, while Shiki alone, holding the Kusanagi sword, flashed along the roadside, taking away one fresh life after another.
"Excellent Thunder Plow Hot Knife!"
Two shadows attacked Zhixue from the left and right, but to an ordinary ninja, the two figures that moved as fast as two flashes of light could not shake the figure sandwiched in the middle.
"What?!" Killer Bee and Raikage were shocked to see Shiki block their combination attack with just her hands.
A layer of purple eyeshadow appeared at the corner of Zhixue's eye, and a greenish-blue light sent the two burly men flying.
He took Sage Mode to its extreme, with a pair of white dragon horns growing out from his thick black hair. The bursts of Sage Energy emanating from them caused the surrounding natural energy to boil, forming small vortexes.
"Kid! You dare to break into the Allied Forces' camp all by yourself? You've got some nerve! But once you're here, don't even think about leaving. Today, we'll settle all the scores from the past!" Lei Ying said warily to Zhi Xue, his body crackling with lightning.
"Then we'll see if you have the ability," Zhi Xue said coldly to Raikage, a layer of raging flames burning on the Kusanagi sword in her hand.
"Stop the snow!"
Hearing the familiar call, Zhi Xue turned around and glanced at her older brother. Zhi Shui also stopped in his tracks when he saw Zhi Xue's unfamiliar expression, and an incredulous look appeared on his face.
"Zhixue! It's your brother! Please come back, it's dangerous at the Akatsuki..." Shisui took a few steps forward, then his pupils widened in shock as he saw a piece of cloth fall from the Hokage's hat.
"When you drove me out of Konoha a few years ago, we were no longer on the same path. Now you are my enemy..." Shiki closed her eyes, pointed her sword at Shisui, and spoke to Shisui as she tried not to reveal the slightest flaw.
I'm sorry, Nii-san. I didn't want to drag you down with my Akatsuki identity, so I had to use this facade to fool the others. I hope you can forgive me in the future...
Chapter 263, Severing the Chains of Bondage
"Thunder Plow Hot Knife!"
In the Allied Shinobi Forces' camp, the Raikage's figure flashed like a blinding bolt of lightning, each attack raising clouds of dust and sending shivers down his spine.
Swish!
A towering flame erupted from the center, gradually turning crimson. The Thunder Shadow, who was directly engulfed by the flames, felt excruciating pain throughout his body and quickly retreated from it.
"Big brother!" Killer Bee wanted to help the Raikage, who was still engulfed in flames in the distance, but was quickly stopped by A.
"Ughhhhh! Don't come any closer! Please don't come any closer! Everyone, get back!!"
After feeling excruciating pain all over his body, Ai experienced a tingling sensation as if he had been given an anesthetic. He hurriedly spoke to Killer Bee and then circulated all the chakra in his body, using Lightning Armor as a surface to detach the flames. However, this only seemed to reduce the intensity of the fire.
"Water Release: Water Shock Wave!" The Mizukage, who had come over, saw the Raikage curled up on the ground in pain and also sprayed a stream of water at him, but it showed no signs of weakening.
"How could this be?" Shuiying exclaimed, her pupils widening in shock as she looked at the flames that showed no signs of abating.
As Zhixue emerged from the flame array, she looked at the half-burnt Lei Ying on the ground. The clover in her pupils spun and extinguished the deep red cursed flames.
"Is this your Mangekyou Sharingan technique?" Onoki, who had arrived, exclaimed in surprise upon seeing the Raikage's body covered in charcoal.
He had seen the whole thing from a distance, but he hadn't expected the flames to be so powerful.
