I'm in Konoha, and I started with Ashura Chakra.

Chapter 125: A major reshuffle of the ninja world, crushing the other ninja villages to a standstill.

Inside Hiruko's castle.

In the brightly lit laboratory, a spatial vortex appeared out of nowhere.

A twisted figure flew out from the vortex eye and quickly took the form of Uchiha Obito.

"That's pretty fast."

While experimenting on White Zetsu clones, Hyakko couldn't help but tease, "Pain's organization, you're even more proactive than the Akatsuki leader! You guys don't have any other motives for capturing the Tailed Beasts, do you?"

"It's just to bring peace sooner and end the conflict in the ninja world completely." Obito Uchiha lied without even blinking.

Even if you took off his mask, he would probably remain expressionless.

"I'll believe you for now. After all, both the Shinobi World's Asura and the God of Shinobi once had the ability to achieve peace in the Shinobi World. It's just that their choices were different, and the God of Shinobi ultimately won."

While removing his mask and white coat, Hyakko changed into the Akatsuki's black trench coat, slung Uchiha Homura's fan over his shoulder, and asked Uchiha Obito, "The Two-Tails Jinchuriki and the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki are Yugito and Killer Bee, the Raikage's younger brother, from Kumogakure. Should we just storm into Kumogakure, cause a ruckus, and capture them?"

"That's too radical. Pain won't agree." Obito Uchiha frowned slightly. "The Hidden Cloud Village is different from the Hidden Sand Village. Their overall strength is currently the strongest in the ninja world. My current strength is not even half of what it was at its peak."

"Is that so?" Hyakki teased with a half-smile, "Isn't it more radical for you to go to Konoha and release the Nine-Tails, creating a Nine-Tails frenzy?"

"You know quite a lot." Obito Uchiha's eyes flashed, and he said in a deep voice, "I never expected that during the Second Shinobi World War, the most outstanding figure wasn't 'demigod' Hanzo, nor the Legendary Sannin of Konoha, but you, a nobody who was in the same generation as the Sannin."

"certainly!"

Hyakumao said arrogantly, "I broke the limitations of ordinary people, transforming myself from an average person into a perfect being in the ninja world. What right do they have to compare themselves to me?"

Seeing how arrogant Hyakko was, Obito Uchiha felt much more at ease.

This guy knows a lot of things, but he still hasn't grasped the truth of the world.

In that case, this guy isn't worth fearing; we can make good use of him, and he might even become our strongest pawn.

Bai Mao was unaware of Obito Uchiha's thoughts; otherwise, he would have secretly smiled and thought, "My acting skills are superior to yours."

After getting dressed, Bai Mao asked, "Where is our target? How do we get there?"

"The Two-Tails Jinchuriki is still in Kumogakure. We'll wait for her to come out and carry out her mission before we make our move."

Obito Uchiha turned and walked towards the door, saying, "Let's walk. Sasori and Deidara won't act until tomorrow. Sealing a tailed beast will take at least a few days, so there's no need to rush."

"Okay, you're the boss behind the scenes, I'll listen to you."

------

Although he knew that the Akatsuki had begun its operation and that its first target was his future brother-in-law, Yagyu did not inform Temari and Sunagakure in advance, nor did he tell Tsunade.

In Shippuden, the greatest crisis Konoha ever faced was the attack by Pain.

The Fourth Shinobi World War resulted in the most casualties.

Yagyu was prepared to stop Pain's invasion, but he did not intend to prevent the outbreak of the Fourth Shinobi World War.

The Fourth Shinobi World War is the final chapter of a thousand-year game. Yagyu not only wants to take this opportunity to completely elevate his strength to another dimension, but also to reshuffle the shinobi world.

Yagyu had no interest in unifying the ninja world; he had no interest in governing it and making its people live a better life.

Yagyu is very satisfied with the current system; he just wants to be the leader of a military base in the future.

As for politics, just leave it to the daimyo.

If the given name doesn't obey, change it.

However, Yagyu doesn't intend to be so friendly towards other countries and major ninja villages.

He intends to use the Akatsuki organization and the Fourth Shinobi World War to wipe out those major ninja villages.

In this way, they would have no chance of turning the tables, and he could relax after succeeding as the Sixth Hokage.

All of this requires Gaara, the key to unlocking the Gedo Mazo.

Therefore, Yagyu planned to leave his future brother-in-law to die, since he wouldn't die anyway.

So the next morning, Yagyu went to Kurenai's house and knocked on her door.

Thump thump thump... Squeak!

As soon as the knocking sounded, the wooden door was opened from the inside.

A mature, sophisticated woman in a red nightgown caught Liu Sheng's eye.

"Come in, what brings you here to see your teacher today?"

Kurenai tossed her long, loose black hair, turned and went back to the living room, pointing to the shoe cabinet in the entryway and saying, "The shoes are over there, change them yourself."

Yagyu closed the door, changed his shoes, and followed Kurenai Yuhi into the living room.

As usual, Kurenai first went to the kitchen to pour Yagyu a glass of milk.

When Kurenai placed the cup on the table in front of Yagyu, she didn't seem to care about the glimpse of her skin that was exposed when she bent over.

Yagyu's gaze wasn't focused on the seemingly radiant Fuli, but rather on the angular marks on Yuhi Kurenai's cheeks and forehead. He smiled and said, "Kurenai-sensei, two years have passed, and you haven't changed at all. You're still so young and beautiful."

"You have such a sweet tongue."

Kurenai smiled at the praise, then touched the diamond-shaped mark on her forehead and said sincerely to Yagyu, "Thanks to the Yin Seal you gave me, this is the best birthday gift I have ever received."

"As long as you like it."

"You drink your milk first, then I'll go wash up."

Kurenai turned and swayed her slender waist as she left. Her hourglass figure and thin red nightgown were simply irresistible.

Although Kurenai Yuhi didn't end up with Asuma Sarutobi due to Yagyu's influence, she still exuded a mature, wifely charm, like a perfectly ripe peach.

"Aren't you going to spend time with your girlfriends today? Or are they all out doing missions, and you're bored and looking for your teacher to spar with?"

Kurenai quickly finished washing up, changed into her normal home clothes, sat opposite Yagyu, and asked with her legs crossed elegantly.

"I've come to invite you, Teacher Hong."

Yagyu smiled and said, "Yakumo's physical abilities have already reached the level of a qualified ninja, and her strength is exceptionally powerful. Kurenai-sensei, would you like to take Yaakumo with you on a joint mission?"

"A joint mission?"

Kurenai Yuhi asked in surprise, "You three Jonin, plus me and Yakumo, you're not planning to go on a Super S-rank mission, are you?"

"An S-rank mission will suffice."

"……OK."

Kurenai Yuhi was silent for a few seconds, then nodded and said, "It just so happens that recently, Yakumo kept pestering me to take her on high-level missions. I was afraid that my strength was insufficient and that I would only implicate her, so I kept refusing."

"With you guys here, Yagyu, maybe we can let her experience what a high-level mission feels like."

It must be said that Kurenai Yuhi is quite self-aware of her own abilities.

Even the frail and sickly Yakumo Kurama was able to easily defeat Kurenai Yuhi.

A healthy Yakumo Kurama can instantly pull an enemy into an illusionary space while attacking them in the real world. Anyone who cannot block their five senses or powerfully break through the illusionary space simply cannot find Yakumo Kurama's physical form.

Unless he can hold out until Yakumo Kurama runs out of chakra, he is doomed to die.

Not to mention Kurenai Yuhi, even Hinata and Shino Aburame, once pulled into the illusion space, would be no match for Yakumo Kurama.

This is the value of a super genius that only appears once every few generations!

"No way, all four of us were trained by you, Teacher Hong. You are our backbone."

Yagyu stood up and said with a smile, "Then, Ms. Kurenai, you go and inform Yakumo. I'm going to find Hinata and Shino. You two can wait for me at the village entrance."

"Alright, you're an elite Jonin now, your superior to the teacher, so you're in charge." Kurenai Yuhi casually winked at Yagyu, her expression full of allure.

Yagyu was getting a little thirsty; he wished he had switched places with Kurenai Yuhi.

An hour later, at the gates of Konoha.

Yagyu handed the completed exit permits to Izumo Kamizuki and Tetsuo Koko, who were on duty again. He then left Konoha with Yakumo Kurama, who was carrying a backpack and whose eyes were full of anticipation, as well as Kurenai Yuhi and Team 8, who were not wearing green vests.

Meanwhile, in a small country in the ninja world, two figures met up and headed towards the Land of Wind.

They wore black trench coats embroidered with red clouds and straw hats with wind chimes attached, their unique appearance making them Sasori and Deidara the Red Sand.
