I, Uchiha: Split Konoha

Chapter 321 Subduing the Akatsuki

The Five Shadows Summit had a tremendous impact.

The entire ninja world was shaken after the Five Kage Summit concluded.

First, Iwagakure and Kumogakure formed a formal alliance, and at the same time invited all the daimyo and ninja villages in the entire ninja world to join forces against the evil forces led by Uchiha Yoru.

In particular, the Third Tsuchikage and the Fourth Raikage angrily denounced Uchiha Yoru's various actions, especially the fact that the Akatsuki organization had long been colluding with Uchiha Yoru, and that the purpose of capturing the nine tailed beasts was actually Uchiha Yoru's doing.

His aim was to eliminate all the daimyo and other ninja villages in the ninja world and become a dictatorial and ambitious ruler.

It must be said that this statement did little to sway the ninja villages, but it certainly made all the daimyo's mansions in the ninja world uneasy. The existence of Uchiha Yoru had challenged the authority of the daimyo's mansions.

The ninja villages needed to rely on the resources of the Daimyo's mansion, and in a short period of time, almost the entire ninja world was united by the Cloud Ninja and the Iwa Ninja.

At the same time, Uchiha Yoru of Konoha also issued a notice.

The Hidden Stone Village and the Hidden Cloud Village colluded to secretly hire the Akatsuki organization to collect the Tailed Beasts of the ninja world. The so-called capture of the Tailed Beasts from the Hidden Stone Village and the Hidden Cloud Village was nothing more than a charade.

Of the nine tailed beasts, only the One-Tailed and Nine-Tailed are still in Konoha; the rest have long since fallen into the hands of the two major ninja villages.

Especially the Three-Tails and Six-Tails of Kirigakure, which had already been divided up by the two major ninja villages.

This back-and-forth caused the situation in the ninja world to change dramatically in an instant.

Countless ninjas began to march to the front lines to prepare for defense, while at the same time, countless war supplies began to be transported.

The prices of food, medical supplies, and war materials across the entire ninja world skyrocketed instantly.

No one expected the turmoil in the ninja world to come so quickly. Most small ninja villages didn't have much in reserve, so they could only accept the Daimyo's orders.

Konoha, Kirigakure, and Sunagakure seemed to have anticipated this, and had secretly stockpiled countless supplies over the years.

Amidst the ever-changing political landscape of the ninja world, the situation is on the verge of erupting into conflict.

The Akatsuki organization, which was once fierce and powerful, has now become a power struggle between ninja villages.

Especially after Konoha released evidence that Iwagakure had repeatedly employed Akatsuki, Onoki was instantly filled with resentment. Damn it, this is too much bullying.

The air is thick with the smell of gunpowder, and the Great Ninja War is about to erupt.

At the same time, everyone in the ninja world clearly knows one thing: this battle is more brutal than the previous three Shinobi World Wars.

This time, all the countries in the entire ninja world have participated, and all the ninja villages and even the forces of the Daimyo's mansion have begun to gather.

……

Leaf.

As the atmosphere of war intensified, the once peaceful atmosphere within the village began to turn somber.

Tsunade, Mei Terumi, and Pakura also began to mobilize their ninja army and make preparations.

Inside the film studio.

A map of the ninja world was hung up, and almost all the Jonin from the village who could come were there. They all stared at the map with solemn expressions.

Uchiha Yoru stood in front of the map, calmly pointing in the direction of Kumogakure (Cloud Village).

"Gentlemen, of the nine tailed beasts in the ninja world, seven have now fallen into the hands of the rogue ninja Obito. And according to clear intelligence, this villain has already defected to the Cloud Ninja and the Iwa Ninja. So this time we will be facing a total of seven tailed beasts."

"With the combined forces of the Hidden Ninja Village and the Hidden Stone Ninja, they possessed a total of 50,000 ninjas. At the same time, with the addition of troops from all the Hidden Ninja Villages in the ninja world and the Daimyo's forces, the number of ninjas jumped to 100,000."

Upon hearing the number 100,000 ninjas, all the Jonin present showed solemn expressions. Although the small ninja village was not strong, they still understood the principle that many ants can kill an elephant.

"However, you need not worry. In terms of both quantity and quality of Chunin and Jonin, we have gathered the three strongest ninja villages in the ninja world: Konoha, Sunagakure, and Kirigakure. We are not afraid of these 100,000 rabble with our high-end combat power."

Most of the Jonin were now looking at Uchiha Yoru and the group of Kage-level ninjas. They were secretly thinking that while the number of Chunin and Jonin they had combined was about the same, they definitely had an absolute advantage in terms of the combat power of Kage-level and above.

"Here and here, reinforce the troops. I hereby announce that all Jonin-level ninjas may be taught one A-rank ninjutsu, Chunin may choose two B-rank ninjutsu, and Genin may learn three C-rank ninjutsu. You must learn them as quickly as possible."

"yes!"

Looking at the sea of ​​people, Uchiha Yoru laughed confidently and said, "If we don't fight this battle, our descendants will. So for the future of the ninja world, for our descendants to live under a peaceful sky! Let's fight!"

"beat!"

Countless Jonin shouted in unison, knowing that this battle was different from the previous Shinobi World War.

This time, their opponent is the entire ninja world, and their target is also the entire ninja world. Once they conquer the entire ninja world, will there be any enemies left in the ninja world?

With no enemies, the ninja world will be at peace, and their descendants will never have to experience war again. This is the simple idea of ​​these ninjas.

"Everyone, get ready!"

"yes!"

The massive war machines of the three major ninja villages—Konoha, Kirigakure, and Sunagakure—began to operate, while the Daimyo's residence, which had been making some unusual moves, was directly destroyed by a great fire.

Uchiha Yoru immediately denounced the shameless actions of the Iwa and Kumo ninja, who had secretly attacked the daimyo's residences of the Fire, Water, and Wind kingdoms.

The wrangling and bickering between the two sides had already begun before the war even started.

……

The prison of the Uchiha Police Department.

Kakuzu, Hidan, Sasori, and Deidara were imprisoned. During the Five Kage Summit in the Land of Iron, the Akatsuki split. Nagato, weakened by the loss of his Rinnegan, was taken away by Konan, while the other four were captured by Tsunade's Wood Release.

The four looked at each other in bewilderment as Uchiha Yoru arrived with his men.

"No matter how you've considered it, you should understand the power of the cursed seal I've bestowed upon you. The ninja world has been drawn into its greatest war yet."

Looking at the four of them, Uchiha Yoru revealed a seductive smile.

"Hidan, for the sake of peace in the ninja world, join my ranks. I will allow you to go to the battlefield, where countless sacrifices will be offered to your evil god, so many that you won't be able to keep up. After the ninja world is at peace, I will allow you to spread your evil god religion."

"The Evil God Cult!" Hidan, who was bored, was immediately shocked when he heard this.

Uchiha Yoru continued with a seductive laugh, "Hidan, I think you must have seen the glory of the Fire Temple once within the Land of Fire. Don't you want the Jashin Cult to appear on the ninja continent?"

"You! Are you telling the truth?" The members of Akatsuki all have mental problems, and Hidan is clearly the most arrogant and the most complacent.

Faced with the fact that the Jashin Cult had reached the scale of the Fire Temple, Hidan was instantly tempted, and even a fiery look appeared on his face.

If we can really achieve this, Lord Evil God will be pleased.

Seeing that Hidan was already interested, Uchiha Yoru continued to add fuel to the fire, saying, "Hidan, as long as you can achieve enough military merits, I will allow you to preach in the Land of Lightning."

"Moreover, according to my intelligence, the former evil god cult seems to have been targeted by the black devils of the Cloud Village. These black devils savagely plundered the secret techniques of various clans in the ninja world and trampled on the existence of the evil god cult."

Hidan may be arrogant, but he's not stupid. How could he not see that this was Uchiha Yoru's manipulation?

But he still looked thoughtful, "It seems that the Evil God Cult was indeed targeted by the Cloud Village back then."

The Cloud Village has more than just its sights on the Evil God Cult; the Cloud Ninja are notorious savage bandits in the ninja world, and their activities are all about plunder.

"So, if you win, I can establish any evil cult within the Land of Thunder?"

Who says Hidan is stupid? He realized what was going on right away and started asking for benefits before even starting any work.

Uchiha Yoru shrugged and laughed, "That depends on how much you do. If you can kill the Fourth Raikage, then I'll allow you. If you don't do enough, you can only stay in a certain area of ​​Kumogakure."

"However, I must also state beforehand that your evil god cult is bloodthirsty, so joining the evil god cult must be voluntary, and you cannot kill without cause."

The first few conditions were fine, but the last one made Hidan's eyes widen in disbelief. "What about the sacrifices for the evil god? Once you unify the ninja world, who will be your enemies?"

Uchiha Yoru couldn't help but glance at Hidan with admiration, thinking that at least he had some brains.

"Black people are inherently associated with violence, crime, disease, chaos, and harassment; it's almost their nature. They are an extremely lowly race. Once I unify the ninja world, I will reduce black people to the lowest of the low, and they will become the slaves of the ninja world..."

At this moment, Uchiha Yoru seemed to be talking about something insignificant, squinting as he looked at Hidan.

"As long as you follow the rules, these slaves, once they become yours, will naturally be offered as sacrifices to your evil god."

"Black devil!" Upon hearing this, Hidan immediately revealed a bloodthirsty smile, as if the Hidden Cloud Village really was a good place.

"I'm in!"

After watching Hidan being subdued, Uchiha Yoru turned his gaze to Kakuzu, who stood silently to the side, seemingly devoid of light.

Ever since being captured and brought back from the Land of Iron, Kakuzu's life has lost its light, and he remains silent and dejected every day.

"Kakuzu, I know you. We used to know each other. I can satisfy your desires. In return, as long as you can make enough contributions, I can allow you to operate a legal slave trade within a certain area of ​​the Land of Lightning."

"Slave trade?" Kakuzu glanced at Uchiha Yoru indifferently after hearing this, showing no interest whatsoever.

Even though you are strong, don't try to force him to submit.

Uchiha Yoru gave Kakuzu a confident smile.

"I can allow the legal capture and trade of black slaves in the Land of Lightning. Wouldn't that bring in a steady stream of money? Kakuzu, you've been traveling the ninja world for years, so you should know how prolific these black people in the Land of Lightning are. Their numbers are enough to satisfy the enslavement needs of the entire ninja world."

"In the future ninja world, there will be no Daimyo's Mansion, and the slave trade will be legal and reasonable."

Kakuzu had lived for over ninety years, and his green eyes suddenly flashed with golden light.

"Are you telling the truth?"

It's no wonder Kakuzu was shocked. In the ninja world, merchants were almost entirely monopolized by the Daimyo's government. Ninjas were not allowed to work as slaves; if they were discovered, it would be a challenge to the Daimyo's authority.

Even some family businesses in the Ninja Village operate within the scope permitted by the Daimyo's government, which shows the source of the conflict between the two sides.

At that moment, Kakuzu seemed to see himself rolling around in a sea of ​​money in the future, and his eyes instantly lit up with fervent desire.

"Okay! I agree to join."

Sasori and Deidara exchanged bewildered glances. These two idiots were so easily swayed; it was a disgrace to the Akatsuki organization.

It wasn't that the two of them were stupid; Uchiha Yoru not only pandered to his preferences, but more importantly, he sought power.

Uchiha Yoru is recognized as the strongest ninja in the ninja world. The ninja world naturally admires the strong, let alone someone as arrogant as Uchiha Yoru who wants to unify the ninja world.

Uchiha Yoru's personal charm was already attractive enough, and with his preferences catered to, people naturally chose to join.

Seeing Sasori remain silent, Deidara's arrogant gaze suggested that he would not agree at all.

Uchiha Yoru casually remarked, "The Fourth Shinobi World War will probably be the last major war in the shinobi world. It has gathered all the shinobi in the world."

"Tsk tsk, in front of hundreds of thousands of ninjas, this is such a rare opportunity for the ninja world to witness our art. It's truly a once-in-a-lifetime chance; if we miss it, we might never have another chance."

Deidara, who looked down on Kakuzu and Hidan just a second ago, widened his eyes the next second, and began to recall his art in his mind.

Under the watchful eyes of 200,000 ninjas from both sides, he directly performed his art. This! This was the opportunity he had been dreaming of!

Deidara was excited, but then he seemed to remember something and became discouraged. He shook his head with a frustrated sigh and said, "What's the use of this? No matter how hard I try, I can't compare to the instant of the explosion of six hundred billion explosive tags."

At this moment, Deidara was filled with envy. The explosion of 600 billion explosive tags was simply too shocking. He couldn't even do that by self-destructing.

Looking at the problem child Deidara, Uchiha Yoru shook his head and said, "You're wrong. You can't do it now, but does that mean you won't be able to do it in the future?"

"Ninjas only get stronger. Right now, you're limited by your chakra reserves. But what will happen to your clay bombs if you grow to have chakra comparable to or even surpassing that of a tailed beast?"

With Uchiha Yoru's encouragement, Deidara, though aware that his idea was good, also understood that reality was cruel.

Seeing that Deidara was still unmoved, Uchiha Yoru smiled and said, "If your contribution is great enough, I can reward you with a tailed beast. I think you, as a Jinchuriki, won't have to worry about the power of your clay bombs anymore."

However, Deidara's eyes gradually lit up with excitement after hearing this.

"Yes, becoming a Jinchuriki will eliminate my chakra weakness, and I can even create the strongest clay bomb that drains the Tailed Beast dry!"

Deidara, growing more and more excited, turned to Sasori and exclaimed, "Brother Sasori, let's join together! Then we'll let the entire ninja world witness my art!"

Good guy!

At this moment, Sasori looked at Deidara, who was resolute one second and betrayed him the next. He was speechless, but this was not what he wanted.

"Impure World Reincarnation is a forbidden technique of your Konoha, isn't it?!"

At this moment, Scorpion said in a hoarse, deep voice, "I want this forbidden technique."

Uchiha Yoru smiled upon hearing this; it was clear that Sasori wanted to use this forbidden technique to summon his parents to be with him.

"Yes, as long as you can achieve enough merit and survive."

"good!"

At this moment, Uchiha Yoru, inside the prison, revealed a satisfied smile; the entire Akatsuki quartet had been subdued.

Now only Nagato and Konan from the Akatsuki remain, but the two have now returned to Amegakure.

Meanwhile, outside the prison, Uchiha Sasuke walked towards the prison with a determined look on his face.

Please support me.
