Inside a shrine in Amegakure.

This is the first time that all members of the Akatsuki organization have gathered together.

"what……"

After a big yawn, Deidara complained, "We joined the organization and it's all about taking it easy, no action whatsoever. Is Akatsuki really an organization for retirees?"

As he spoke, he looked around and asked in confusion, "Does it feel like we're short of people? I don't remember clearly, but I think we're missing a pervert and an idiot?"

Scorpion replied in a deep voice, "You only found two out of three missing people. They're obviously destined to die young."

Deidara waved his hand: "Scorpion-senpai, as a newcomer, don't have such high expectations... Besides, that dark-skinned guy, sometimes you really can't see him when it's dark..."

On the other side, Kakuzu looked at Pain: "Tobi, Orochimaru, and Zetsu are all gone. Are they on a mission?"

The Heavenly Dao replied in a deep voice, "A-Fei, Orochimaru, and Zetsu have defected. Once discovered, kill them."

???

For a moment, everyone was stunned.

Defect?

A moron, an intelligence officer, and a psychopath on the side. What's the point of such a combination defecting?

Even Orochimaru, who is known as one of the Legendary Sannin, is uncertain how many blows he could withstand against Uzumaki Sora's power.

"So, are we going to give chase?"

Deidara was momentarily excited, his mouth sticking out its tongue in his palm, his so-called art was already thirsting for something.

“I have the ability to fly, so what if I go? Staying in a rainy village like this every day, I’m practically turning into mold.”

On the other side, Hidan, carrying the March Scythe, said, "I joined this place because it doesn't interfere with my missionary work. I'm going too! I can even recruit a few people to worship the evil god along the way!"

Kakuzu glanced at Hidan: "You joined...aren't you afraid? It's understandable that you'd be afraid of having your head sewn onto your butt."

These words left Hidan speechless for a moment, and after glancing at Sora, he immediately became dejected.

At this moment, Pain spoke up, saying, "Akatsuki's next objective is not to pursue the fugitives, but to target the higher-ups of the Five Great Shinobi Villages."

High-level?

The Five Great Ninja Villages?

In an instant, all four of them turned their gazes toward Pain.

"Perhaps you have some doubts. But from today onwards, Akatsuki will forever remain the dark side of the ninja world."

Uzumaki Sora looked at the group and said, "In fact, we are at odds with this world. In short, from this moment on, the war between Akatsuki and the Five Great Shinobi Villages begins!"

As Sora finished speaking, a bead of sweat appeared on the forehead of Pipa Juzo, who was standing to the side.

Kill the high-ranking officials of the five great ninja villages?

Fog Concealment is also included.

The Hidden Mist Village, having just emerged from the Blood Mist Village, has absolutely no power to stop Akatsuki!

Is Akatsuki trying to unify the ninja world by doing this?

For a moment, Pipa Juzo recalled his conversation with Sora several years ago.

But now, he has no chance to pass on intelligence anymore.

Uzumaki Sora's intelligence capabilities have always been unfathomable. He knew the past of every Akatsuki member, almost as if he had seen it with his own eyes.

He also knew about the intelligence he had previously passed on.

Juzo Biwa knew very well that if he were to do it again, he would surely die, and it would all be meaningless.

Because they would be killed while passing it on.

"Heh... A war with the Five Great Ninja Villages? Since the establishment of the Ninja Village system, no other force has ever had such courage."

Kakuzu's deep laughter rang out, filled with excitement: "In the gold exchange, the heads of the five great ninja village kage are extremely valuable."

As he spoke, he looked at Uzumaki Sora and said, "Can we do it one by one? After all, the missions posted on the black market are likely to be paid for by one of the five great ninja villages."

Kong smiled and said, "Of course, we'll do it one by one. But if, by some coincidence, the patron is killed first, you'll just have to accept your bad luck."

Kakuzu smiled and nodded, "It's alright. Even if it's just a deposit paid to the exchange in advance, it's still a very considerable amount."

On the other side, Deidara was equally excited.

One hand clenched into a fist: "To be able to let the five great ninja villages that control the entire ninja world witness my art, just thinking about it makes my blood boil! If the old man saw it, he would definitely be dumbfounded!"

Scorpion remained silent for a moment, then an elderly figure came to mind.

Although his heart was the only remaining part of his body, he was numb and indifferent, yet he still possessed human emotions.

"Are the former high-ranking officials of Sunagakure... already retired and enjoying their retirement, also among the targets?"

Scorpion's words caused Uzumaki Sora's gaze to narrow slightly.

He chuckled and looked at Scorpion, asking, "Is this question... because of that old man? The only person who gave you affection during that time after you lost your parents?"

"Even if one turns their entire body into a puppet, the emotional bonds remain because of the inner self. In such a case, aside from a youthful appearance, immortality is still just wishful thinking..."

Scorpion raised his head slightly: "The ability to strike straight to the heart is truly infuriating. Although I know I am no match for you, and may even be killed by you in an instant, I still hope there will be no next time."

After a pause, Scorpion said in a deep voice, "I will do my best to complete the task assigned to me. That is my answer."

After he finished speaking, Kong did not press him to make a statement.

If it were someone else, Scorpion might lash out in anger, or he might contradict himself with words that don't match his true feelings.

But he knew about Uzumaki Sora's intelligence capabilities, knew about his past, and could see through his own heart.

In this situation, rebuttal would only seem ridiculous and laughable.

"young?"

Hidan's questioning voice rang out as he tilted his head, looking at Sasori and then at Uzumaki Sora: "This guy doesn't look young at all, does he? Deidara just called him 'senpai' (older brother). Could he be immortal like me?"

Hidan then bowed slightly to Sasori: "Are you also a follower of the Jashin-sama?"

Scorpion ignored him, for his heart was in turmoil.

After his parents died, he thought he had nothing left to hold onto.

But now... perhaps Sunagakure is also a kind of bond for me.

……

Pain then spoke up, "The basic situation has been explained; the next step is to confirm the target."

As soon as he finished speaking, both Juzo Biwa and Sasori looked over.

Could it be either Mist Village or Sand Village, or will it be the first one?

"The Six Paths of Pain, along with Sasori, Deidara, Kakuzu, and Hidan, will head to Sunagakure. Their main targets are the Jonin and Chunin on the list. They should also be wary of Genin and civilians."

As Tendo spoke, he looked at Deidara and said, "Your explosive ability will start the battle, and the enemy will definitely use every means to protect the village. But after that, you need to identify your target before you start acting."

As he spoke, Tiandao handed a stack of documents to the four people.

It features representatives of various martial arts factions from Sunagakure, including Chiyo and Ebizo.

In fact, Nagato possessed more than just intelligence on the Sand Village's martial arts faction.

More than a year ago, Nagato began preparing this intelligence. At that time, Zetsu was still compliant, and under the pretext of the Tailed Beasts collection plan, he was able to compile such a report.

Even the five great ninja villages, including Konoha, have a similar document.

"Chiyo and Ebizo from Sunagakure have not appeared for many years. They may have already died of old age."

As he spoke, Sasori removed two sheets from the document, which contained photos and resembled a ninja registration form.

The Heavenly Dao on the other side replied: "They are still alive, and they deeply remember the blood feud of their son. They cannot trust the next generation, nor can they trust the peace that is about to come."

Peace?

Sasori slightly raised his head, already about to go to war with the five great ninja villages, yet still talking about peace.

After thinking for a moment, Scorpion looked at Uzumaki Sora again.

Seeing that he did not refute it, he began to ponder the words of Heaven.

The main targets are the ninjas on the list.

Unable to trust the next generation, and unable to trust the peace that is about to come...

So... is the plan to wipe out all the previous generation of ninjas filled with hatred, and then let the next generation use Akatsuki as a vessel for that hatred?

"Hey Hey hey!"

At this moment, Hidan's dissatisfied voice rang out: "I just want to know when we'll start our operation. I've already seen the list, and I don't think anyone on it is religious. So... how about we just take them all out?"

At that moment... Sora's gentle gaze fell upon Hidan, and she said softly, "I think you want to experience what it feels like to have your head on a dog's body again. Maybe you think that as long as you don't die, it's not a big deal..."

Using the gentlest tone, yet uttering the most inhumane words.

Hidan fell silent for a moment, recalling the horrible scene from before, and even couldn't help but shudder.

At this moment, Tendo continued, "Starting today, the Akatsuki will withdraw from Amegakure. The operation will begin in two days."

"As the dark side of this world going forward, how can the Five Kage Summit be without our voice? Only after the declaration of war is issued can we truly act with impunity!"

……

Xiao's gathering has ended.

Inside the tower, Sora stands in front, with Nagato and Konan standing behind him.

“I will accompany Pain and the others to Sunagakure, while Konan will go with you to Kirigakure.”

Nagato looked at Konan as he spoke: "Your task is to identify the enemies, point out the people in the data one by one, and use the Flying Thunder God Technique. As for taking action, you are not needed."

"clear."

Xiao Nan nodded: "With the speed of Flying Thunder God Technique, plus my origami, we can indeed kill everyone on the list very quickly."

"But the Fifth Mizukage of Kirigakure should be in Konoha at this time, holding the so-called Five Kage Summit."

With his back to the two, Uzumaki Sora spoke up: "The Five Kage are not part of the plan. In fact, this is just to attract attention and give the ordinary ninjas of Amegakure time to disperse."

“Obito and Black Zetsu have already hidden in the shadows. After Kirigakure is dealt with, Amegakure, which was exposed, will be broken up into smaller groups, and we will also hide ourselves.”
