Madara, let's change the world together!

Cleaning up is a minor matter; losing to the other three tailed beasts is the real issue!

How dare they bully him!

Just wait! He'll become the King of Mahjong one day!

“Brother, Shukaku is adapting very quickly.”

Kiyoi Gen and Kiyoi Ai observed the four people and four beasts playing cards in the living room from the corridor.

Thanks to his sisters, as well as the Three-Tails and Six-Tails who were already used to it, the hostility of the newly arrived tailed beasts has decreased a lot.

Thanks to Kiyoi Haru and the others, he didn't need to worry about things at home at all.

"Yes, Jiraiya has already left."

Ai Kiyoi nodded in response.

After two weeks of investigation, Jiraiya visited many places, including the school, the lord's mansion, and the police headquarters; he explored almost every corner of the inner city.

He originally intended to sneak into the mansion, but gave up after seeing the dense network of surveillance cameras around it.

He had seen it in the outer city; thieves who had stolen things tried to escape but were closely watched by security cameras, and the alarms kept going off, attracting the attention of the guards.

Besides the surveillance, there are also Palicoes and Melalus with keen senses guarding these places that cannot be entered or exited at will, so Jiraiya really has no confidence.

He had considered trying to force his way in, but then news came that One-Tail had been captured by the Akatsuki.

Knowing the Akatsuki's purpose, Jiraiya immediately went on high alert and, after much deliberation, decided to return to Konoha to discuss countermeasures with Minato.

His individual strength is far too limited.

With the help of his genius disciple Minato Namikaze, the crisis should be resolved.

In Konoha, Minato, who had firmly secured his position as Hokage, naturally learned all the information that Jiraiya-sensei knew.

Chapter 292 Operation to Capture the Tailed Beasts

"Jiraiya-sensei, I understand."

"Please allow me to think carefully about how to deal with this matter."

Indeed, this is something that needs to be carefully considered.

Jiraiya nodded and then left the Hokage's office.

'The Ten-Tails that will destroy the world?'

Only someone with the Rinnegan can unite all the tailed beasts into one, revive the Ten-Tails, and make it the Ten-Tails' jinchūriki.

The legendary Sage of Six Paths was the Jinchūriki of the Ten-Tails.

Minato took a book out of his desk; it was "Kiyoi Gen's Sayings".

When he opened the book, there were many markings inside, with Minato's own interpretation of these words written on them.

He studied these books not only because he was interested in Kiyoi Gen's statements, but also because he wanted to glean insights into Kiyoi Gen's own thoughts through these statements.

Combining his observations and experiences in the city of Churi with his analysis, he did indeed gain some insights.

First and foremost is the rule of law.

Under Qingjingyuan's rule, the rule of law was emphasized; simply put, it meant doing things according to the rules.

Secondly, there is equality of basic rights.

Although the world is inherently unequal, it can be made as fair as possible, and the existence of privileged classes should never be allowed.

Thirdly, there is unification.

Indeed, Minato read the idea of ​​unification in Kiyoi Gen's works.

The constant wars are caused by the escalating conflicts, with some people seeking a redistribution of resources to gain the most benefits.

The problem is not scarcity, but inequality.

That's human nature: one can live a bad life, but others can't live a better life than oneself.

War is a process in which groups repeatedly compete for resources and interests, and it cannot be changed by individual will.

Reflecting on the reasons behind each war, Minato was deeply moved.

Isn't it because the Land of Fire occupies the most resource-rich area that other ninja villages prioritize plundering it?

As long as the current situation remains unchanged, and as long as the Land of Fire does not have a qualitative gap with other countries, war will break out again and again.

Therefore, the current situation must be changed in order to achieve lasting peace.

That is to unify all regions, complete the redistribution of resources, and pursue fairness in the overall direction.

After careful consideration, Minato concluded that this was a feasible method.

Moreover, this is very likely Qingjingyuan's purpose.

He didn't believe that Qingjingyuan would do something to destroy the world; otherwise, he would never have won the love and respect of all the residents of Churi City.

If the other side wants to achieve peace by unifying the ninja world, then it is very possible.

Although the economic strength of Hatsuhi City is unparalleled in the ninja world, unifying the world requires power.

Even with a few powerful ninjas, it's impossible to be an enemy of the entire ninja world.

Therefore, the power of the Ten-Tails is the guarantee for unifying the ninja world.

The fact that he's taking action now means that Mr. Gen is already prepared, and all that's missing is the final piece of the puzzle: the Ten-Tails.

So how should he conduct himself?

What role should Konoha play in this incident?

Minato frowned.

To be honest, if Kiyoi Gen were the daimyo of the Land of Fire, Minato, who harbored a patriotic ambition, would have unhesitatingly supported Kiyoi Gen's actions and led Konoha to attack the ninja world.

Once this generation has made all the sacrifices, the next generation will be able to live in a peaceful environment.

But Kiyoi Gen is not. He is merely the lord of a large territory in the Land of Fire, and one of the younger brothers of the current daimyo.

If the other side wants to unify the ninja world, it will inevitably clash with the current Daimyo of the Land of Fire.

So what should we do?

Minato thought of his wife and son in Hatsuhi Castle again, and his hesitation deepened.

Is this also part of Kiyoshi Gen's plan?

Let him have something to care about in Sunrise City

Personally speaking, he really wanted to support Kiyoshi Gen's actions.

Peace was something he had always longed for.

If the entire ninja world were managed by an excellent leader like Kiyoi Gen, things would probably be much better than they are now.

Minato flipped through "Kiyoi Gen's Sayings" again, sighed, and put it back in the drawer.

Let's leave this matter for now.

We can only trouble Jiraiya-sensei to continue investigating the Akatsuki organization.

At the very least, we can't be too passive.

What Minato didn't notice was that a small shadow was creeping quietly in the corner of the room, near the potted plant.

Just as the Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze, was having a terrible headache about what to do next, news spread throughout the ninja world that Sunagakure had been forcibly taken away by the One-Tailed Beast, and that Rasa, the Kazekage, had been beaten up.

Yes, the entire ninja world.

Even wandering ninjas knew that the Fourth Kazekage had been defeated by the Akatsuki and was still lying in the hospital, having completely lost face.

Gradually, the reputation of Sunagakure as the weakest of the five great ninja villages spread, and even the number of mission requests decreased significantly.

The Third Tsuchikage, Onoki, and the Fourth Raikage, A, both gloated over the misfortune of Sunagakure.

If they can't even protect their own tailed beasts, they shouldn't participate in the Fourth Shinobi World War; they should just obediently hand over their territory.

While thinking this way, they also unanimously reminded their own Jinchūriki to be careful of the Akatsuki.

At this moment, the two of them did not realize that the Akatsuki's true purpose was to collect the Tailed Beasts, and thought that some village had hired people from the Akatsuki.

The Fourth Raikage suspected that Onoki was up to no good again, since Iwagakure hired Akatsuki the most frequently.

Onoki, on the other hand, suspected that Danzo of Konoha was up to something. After all, he hadn't gathered any information about Root doing anything wrong for a while, and maybe they were planning something big.

It's normal for an ambitious person like Danzo to want to collect the Tailed Beasts, so he's not surprised that he did something like this.

Because of this mindset, Iwagakure and Kumogakure did not place the highest level of importance on the Akatsuki.

However, it won't be long before they completely abandon their contempt.

In April of the 52nd year of Konoha, Kiyoi Gen and Madara convened a meeting of the high-ranking members of the War Hall.

"The objective of this operation is to capture the Jinchūriki of the Two-Tails, Four-Tails, Five-Tails, and Eight-Tails in sequence."

The meeting was not complicated; it was simply preparation for the Fourth Shinobi World War.

Kiyoi Gen originally thought that the incident of forcibly taking Shukaku would at least prompt some action from the ninja villages, but nothing happened.

Aside from Sunagakure and Jiraiya conducting a full-scale investigation, Iwagakure and Kumogakure simply reminded their own Jinchūriki and did nothing else.

Since that's the case, let's help them learn a lesson.

"Xingyan, Baimiao, you are responsible for capturing the Four-Tails and Five-Tails Jinchuriki."

"Ryukami and Raigami, you are responsible for capturing the Jinchūriki of the Two-Tails and the Eight-Tails."

"Obito, you're in charge of symbolically grabbing the Nine-Tails."

"The subsequent actions will proceed according to the plan."

Kiyoi Gen's expression was calm, but his eyes concealed excitement.

Everyone present was already prepared.

We're finally about to take this step.

"Is there anything I need to do?"
