Hinata: I'm in charge of Konoha.

Chapter 80 A Great Reputation is No Empty Talk

Yellow sand filled the sky, stretching as far as the eye could see across the Gobi Desert.

The man with cascading black hair and a face that was both cold and hard yet possessed a touch of effeminacy looked at the two people in front of him with a smile.

This was none other than Orochimaru, who was on par with Jiraiya, one of the Legendary Sannin, and had defected from Konoha more than a decade ago!

Orochimaru was in a very good mood at this moment.

He had planned to make a grand entrance from the start by having Kage Rasa join the Konoha Destruction Plan, but unexpectedly, the Akatsuki organization appeared out of nowhere. Although he had defected from the Akatsuki back then, they shared a common goal with him in this matter.

This is the first meeting between the three parties.

Obito Uchiha, who was disguised as Madara Uchiha, did not come. Instead, Zetsu, who had a black and white face, appeared in his place.

Meanwhile, Fengying Luosha, dressed in a long robe and wearing a bamboo hat, silently observed Jue before him.

To be honest, Jue's appearance is really too bizarre.

Even Rasa, who had participated in the Third Shinobi World War, almost instinctively felt that Black Zetsu was probably a cunning old fox when he saw him like this.

"The Chunin Exams in Konoha are about to begin, and according to the procedure, I will arrive in Konoha before the final battle of the third stage."

"What are your plans then?"

Although she had a subconscious feeling that it was definitely not a good thing, the matter was of great importance. Luo Sha cursed herself inwardly for judging a book by its cover and then calmed herself down and began to ask questions.

"I will infiltrate the Sound Village ninjas, and I can take action whenever needed."

Orochimaru chuckled and spoke, then he and Rasa both turned their gazes to Zetsu.

"What are your plans?"

Luo Sha looked at Jue and asked.

"We've already taken action."

Facing the gazes of Rasa and Orochimaru, he spoke in a completely indifferent tone.

"What do you mean?"

Luo Sha was somewhat confused; he disliked riddle tellers.

"Our people will arrive in Konoha together with Lord Kazekage at that time."

Jue looked at the Wind Shadow with a strange smile.

"Together with me—"

Luo Sha fell silent for a moment upon hearing this, but then, as if he had just thought of something, he looked at Jue in front of him with disbelief.

"The Mizukage is one of your people?!"

As the Kazekage, he will arrive in Konoha before the final exam, and naturally, Yagura Karatachi will arrive in Konoha with him!

Jue smiled but remained silent in response to Luo Sha's words, but this silence clearly indicated that she agreed with Luo Sha's words.

"With the two Kage of Feng Shui joining forces, plus Orochimaru, one of the Legendary Sannin, I think that should be enough to take down Hiruzen Sarutobi."

Jue continued speaking, his calm tone sending chills down Luo Sha's spine.

The vast Hidden Mist Village is actually controlled by these people.

The Hidden Mist Village is roughly equal in strength to the Hidden Sun Village. If they were to attack the Hidden Sun Village—

At that moment, a sense of regret welled up in Luo Sha's heart.

Perhaps this plan to destroy Konoha is like playing with fire.

"In that case, it's settled then. I'll head to Konoha first and then await your good news."

Orochimaru didn't care about the so-called Hidden Mist Village like Rasa did.

Although Orochimaru was secretly alarmed that the Akatsuki had gained control of Kirigakure, what did it matter if he conspired with the Akatsuki as long as his goal was achieved?

Could we kill him?

Orochimaru crossed his arms and admired the expression on Rasa's face, an expression that he tried to hide but which, in his eyes, was full of flaws.

The youngest person on the field was Luo Sha.

This is the man who once betrayed the Sand Village hero, Scorching Release: Pakura, without hesitation in order to seize the position of the Fourth Kazekage.

In the eyes of Black Zetsu, who had lived for a thousand years, and Orochimaru, who had experienced two major ninja wars, this Kazekage Rasa was still a bit green.

"That's excellent. I hope we can crush Konoha in one fell swoop."

"Now that the discussion is over, please allow me to take my leave. The village is waiting for me."

Luo Sha nodded slightly, then disappeared alone into the endless yellow sand.

As the Kazekage and the ruler of Sunagakure, Rasa, having been the defeated party in the Fourth Shinobi World War, was no longer trusted by the Daimyo of the Land of Wind, who continued to cut military spending. As a result, Rasa, the Fourth Kazekage and a top figure in the shinobi world, had to personally use his own bloodline limit, Magnet Release, to mine gold in the desert to provide funds for Sunagakure.

This Konoha Collapse Plan was also Rasa's way of proving the value of Sunagakure to the Daimyo of the Land of Wind.

"Then I'm leaving too, no way."

Orochimaru greeted Zetsu, then disappeared into the sandstorm like Rasa.

Watching the two figures depart one after the other, Jue chuckled softly, his entire body slowly sinking into the ground.

He needs to report the outcome of this meeting to Obito Uchiha.

Just as Orochimaru, Black Zetsu, and Rasa were meeting, the Land of Water, on the other side of the ninja world, also welcomed a special guest.

"I heard you were looking for me."

It was clearly a question, but coming from the mouth of this man, whose figure resembled that of a child and who carried an inexplicable iron rod, it sounded like a statement.

"I never imagined that the famous Fourth Mizukage, Yagura Karatachi, was actually a puppet controlled by someone else."

"This is truly a disgrace to the Five Kage."

Tall and rugged-looking, the messenger from Kumogakure who came to meet Kirigakure was none other than the Fourth Raikage himself!

'

"I never expected that you would see through this disguise at a glance."

"Can you tell me how you did it?"

As Yagura's body trembled slightly, his voice, which had just sounded like a child's, suddenly changed.

Hoarse, weathered, and repressed.

At the same time, Yagura's eyes also turned crimson.

This scene startled Lei Ying, and he almost got goosebumps all over his body!

Sharingan!

Uchiha!

People of Konoha!

Konoha has taken control of Kirigakure!?

No—that's not right—

The Uchiha clan of Konoha was wiped out several years ago, leaving only one survivor who is now only twelve or thirteen years old and has no ability to control the village's Kage.

"Are you Itachi Uchiha?"

Currently, only Itachi Uchiha, who was capable of annihilating the Uchiha clan, has the ability to control the Mizukage.

"Tell me first how you saw through my disguise."

Yagura continued speaking, but his tone turned colder.

"Hmph, the Five Kage naturally have their own arrogance."

"Holding the power of life and death over countless people—do you think that kind of aura cultivated in a high position can be acquired by merely controlling a puppet?"

Raikage looked at Yagura Karatachi in front of him and sneered.

In other words—

Something doesn't feel right, so it's just a guess?

Obito Uchiha was startled. The Raikage's words made him realize why Mei Terumi and her group from Kirigakure wanted to overthrow Yagura Karatachi.

Even without the so-called "white-eyed blue," it was only a matter of time before the fact that Yagura was being manipulated was exposed.

The reason it hadn't been exposed before was simply because the influence of the Water Shadow was still strong, and others dared not entertain such a rebellious thought.

However, as time goes on, it inevitably raises suspicions.

Indeed, a great reputation is never undeserved.
