Mayuri Kurotsuchi Card Game, starting from Naruto

Chapter 306

"They're after Nagato's Rinnegan, we need to be prepared!" Yahiko turned his gaze to Nagato, his expression somewhat solemn.

But apart from that, there were no other emotions on his face, such as fear or unease.

If they had known this when they were teenagers, the three of them might have felt pressured and panicked. Back then, Hanzo alone was enough to pose a huge threat to them.

But now, they are completely different from before!

To put it arrogantly, even if Madara Uchiha were to be resurrected, the three of them would have the confidence and courage to join forces and confront him head-on.

With the help of Shikaguchi, Nagato was able to use the Rinnegan skillfully and unleash its full power.

As long as it's not a continuous major battle, the burden that the Rinnegan places on Nagato's body won't overwhelm him.

Although his strength did not reach Nagato's level, even among the Kage of the Five Great Ninja Villages, he was not at the bottom.

Konan is the same; she has mastered the Paper Release technique to its fullest extent, using it in countless creative ways. Whether it's saturation bombardment or over-treatment, the only thing that can limit her is her chakra reserves. But even in a state of emptiness, who knows how much she has stored up over the years?

The fact that he possesses the strength of three Kage-level warriors is one of the reasons why Yahiko is able to remain calm.

If we include Kakuzu, then that makes four formidable Kage-level characters!

"Should we ask that guy, Rokuno, for help?" Kakuzu glanced at Yahiko.

"There's no need!" Nagato shook his head before Yahiko could react. "Our strength is not what it used to be; we can handle Zetsu's attack. There's no need to involve Shinobu and Konoha."

"Are you sure you don't need it? You should know how troublesome Hollows are, right?" Kakuzu earnestly reminded him.

"I do not object to help from Rokuno and Konoha, but if we ask them for help at the slightest sign of trouble, what is the point of our plan?"

Don't worry, Kakuzu-sensei. When I was with Shirane, I saw the so-called power of the void and I know how to deal with and guard against it.

"A portion of the Rinnegan's power can be applied to them." Nagato nodded, explaining further to prove that he wasn't acting impulsively or carelessly.

"Nagato is right. We can't ask Lu Nie and the others for help every time there's a problem." Yahiko nodded in agreement. "Even in a critical moment, as long as we hold out for a while and get the message out, Lu Nie and my senior brother can come over by opening the Black Chamber or using spatial means."

"Do as you please." Kakuzu didn't even look at Konan, who hadn't spoken, because he knew that once Yahiko and Nagato made their decision, the girl he was protecting wouldn't have any objections or opposition.

that's the truth.

"Konoha has already sent over all the enemy's information. Now that we know who the enemy is, we just need to prepare to deal with them."

"Maybe you can take care of all those enemies by yourself, Kakuzu-sensei." Konan smiled gently, her smile ingratiating as she looked at Kakuzu.

Kakuzu has worked diligently for Amegakure and the Land of Rain over the years, devoting a great deal of effort to the three of them and training their strength.

Logically and emotionally, Kakuzu was already the person most trusted and cared for by Yahiko and the other two in Amegakure. The entire village and country's economy had been entrusted to Kakuzu, making him an indispensable person here.

Of course, Kakuzu lived up to this trust. If it weren't for his management and planning of the economic expenditures of the famous Amegakure and the Land of Rain, Amegakure might have gone bankrupt long ago due to the meddling of Yahiko and his two companions.

Aside from Jiraiya, who was rarely seen, the only one who could be respectfully addressed as "teacher" by Yahiko and the other two was Kakuzu.

"Hmph!" Even the person who was trying to flatter Konan sneered: "Don't fight in the village! The current Amegakure is not the poor and destitute Amegakure of the past."

"Of course! We can contact Mr. Toboso, who is keeping watch, and then we can meet up and intercept them." Yahiko nodded, agreeing with Kakuzu's suggestion.

Based on the information revealed, although the opponent's strength is not clearly determined, since they dared to come and steal the Rinnegan, they are obviously confident that they can succeed.

Even with the help of the Mist Ninja and Hollows, there's no doubt that the opposing side has ninjas with Kage-level strength. Setting the battlefield in Amegakure was indeed a bad idea.

Especially for those Hollows, once they enter Amegakure, it's almost like entering a cafeteria.

If the loss is too great, Yahiko, who has always been "frugal and thrifty" under Kakuzu's tutelage, will truly feel heartache and fear.

They were heartbroken by the immense losses suffered by the village, and they were also afraid that Kakuzu would go mad. To be honest, if the economic losses were too great, given Kakuzu's money-grubbing nature, he would definitely go berserk, and none of the three of them wanted to risk a berserk Kakuzu.

At least for now, the thing that puts Yahiko under immense pressure is discussing next year's budget with Kakuzu.

"Then let's get ready. Once we make contact with Tobirama, the three of us will set out." Kakuzu said, pointing to himself, Yahiko, and Nagato. Finally, when his gaze fell on Konan, he said, "Konan will stay behind to guard Amegakure and be the last line of defense."

"If we don't return safely, then you'll be in charge of informing Konoha and Shinobu."

"I understand." Konan nodded. Although she really wanted to go with Yahiko and the others, and believed that she wouldn't be a burden in terms of strength, Amegakure really needed to leave someone behind.

In terms of strength and characteristics, she is undoubtedly the best candidate to stay among the four.

……

"A Hollow has appeared in the Land of Wind?"

In Iwagakure, the village of the Land of Earth, Onoki looked in surprise at the ANBU who had just finished reporting the intelligence in his office.

"Yes, according to the intelligence we've gathered, traces of Hollows have appeared in the oases that are rooted in the Dragon Vein. In addition, the latest news is that the Kazekage of Sunagakure has requested reinforcements from Konoha, and Konoha's reinforcements should have arrived in the Land of Wind by now," the Tsuchikage's ANBU replied loudly.

"Is there anything we need to do?"

Seeing his father's serious expression and deep thought, Huang Tu quietly asked him a question. Based on his understanding of his father, he knew that in this situation, he would usually try to test the waters by striking a few times.

ally?

If necessary, that agreement cannot be torn up.

The Land of Wind used to be harsh and relatively poor, not worth a major war. But now, the Land of Wind's economy is no worse than the Land of Earth's, and may even be better.

"We'll also send reinforcements over." Onoki glared at Huang Tu, clearly seeing what he was thinking, but this time he had no intention of taking advantage of the chaos.

Regardless, he had to consider Konoha's reaction, right? Moreover, with the sense of crisis he'd cultivated over so many years, he instinctively felt a strange sense of unease from this calamity. He wanted to pinpoint the source of this feeling of crisis.

Is it Sunagakure, Konoha, or Hollow?
