Pain and Obito hit it off immediately and prepared to mobilize all members of the Akatsuki organization to go to Sunagakure Village.
As long as the trouble of Ze Feng can be solved, the future road will become extremely bright.
Although the current Akatsuki organization has suffered heavy casualties, there are still two S-class traitorous ninjas, Itachi Uchiha and Kisame Inikaki.
So, Payne once again used the power of the Rinnegan to get in touch with Itachi and Kisame.
After a while, the two people, as well as Hei Jue's light and shadow image, appeared inside the tower.
The whole body exudes colorful waves of light.
Obito retreated to Konan, still acting like a newcomer who had just joined the Akatsuki organization.
"Chief, have you discovered a new tailed beast?"
Kisame looked around and noticed that the number of people this time was much smaller than before.
"not completely."
Payne thought for a moment.
To say that no new tailed beasts were discovered, the eight-tailed jinchuriki Rin and nine-tailed jinchuriki Naruto were indeed in Sunagakure Village.
It can be said that this operation is to capture the tailed beast.
That's not correct.
Thinking of this, Payne organized his language a little and stated the purpose of gathering everyone this time.
Just to solve Zephyr once and for all.
"If Zephyr's invasion of Sunagakure Village is successful, half of the ninja world will become Konoha's territory."
"In addition, Iwagakure Village and Kirigakure Village were severely damaged."
"Even we may no longer be able to compete with Konoha for the tailed beasts."
"No……"
Payne shook his head slightly and changed his statement.
"After Zefeng stabilizes the Kingdom of Wind, he will definitely continue to mobilize ninja troops and march north."
"Capture Iwagakure Village in one fell swoop."
No matter how you say it, Kirigakure is a village surrounded by the sea.
It is easy to defend but difficult to attack.
On the contrary, it is Iwagakure Village.
Once the Kingdom of Wind falls, the only buffer zone left between it and Konoha is the Amegakure Village.
Not only that……
If Zephyr needs it.
He could even assemble three ninja troops to invade Iwagakure from the direction of the Land of Fire, the Land of Wind, and the Land of Thunder.
The three-front battle was a double-team situation.
"A large part of the reason why our Akatsuki organization was able to seize tailed beasts from other villages was due to intelligence asymmetry."
"No one knows the relationship between the Hidden Rain Village and the Akatsuki Organization."
"That's why we who are in the dark can move more easily."
Pain spread his hands and said to Itachi and Kisame.
The implication is that I hope they can understand.
A small country like Amegakure would not attract Konoha's attention at all.
By then, they will definitely take advantage of the situation to capture Yuyin Village.
If you don't protect this place, Yuyin Village will definitely fall.
If he takes action, it would be tantamount to telling everyone about the connection between Yuyin Village and the Akatsuki Organization.
At that time, Hefeng will take action personally if something goes wrong.
In any case, as the leader of the Akatsuki organization, Payne does not want the war to spread here.
"Ame Hidden Village is a peaceful country."
"It is also the only country that can bring true peace to the ninja world."
"So, in order to prevent Zefeng's ambition from succeeding."
"It is also to give us the strength to bring peace."
"We must nip Zephyr in the bud before it can achieve a stage victory."
While speaking, Pain looked specifically at Uchiha Itachi.
Even though this man was a rebel nin recommended by Obito himself.
He also achieved good results in the work of capturing tailed beasts.
But for this rebellious ninja from Konoha, Pain didn't trust him 100%.
Now we have to take action against Zefeng.
I don’t know what Itachi’s attitude is.
"I see."
For a moment, it was Kisame beside Itachi who nodded slightly and made a statement.
"Looking at it this way, this guy named Zefeng is indeed very troublesome."
"However, the Mizukage named Terumi Mei, although she is only a female, is a ninja with two blood inheritance limits. In terms of strength, even I dare not underestimate her."
Kisame said to Pain.
Although he knew that Konoha ninjas were all very strong, if it were three shadows fighting one shadow, he didn't think Zephyr would win.
Of course……
Kisame had no intention of arguing with Pain.
Even if Payne decides to participate in this chaos, as a member of the Akatsuki organization, he has no choice but to follow.
not to mention……
He was still brooding over his last defeat to Namikaze Minato.
I want to fight him again.
Decide the winner.
"This time I not only have the chance to get the Eight-Tails and Nine-Tails."
Soon, Itachi also spoke slowly and expressed his opinion.
"Once Zephyr is dealt with, Konoha will also fall into chaos."
"We will also receive positive help in capturing Erwei."
"but……"
"Before I act, I have a condition."
Itachi looked directly at Pain and said bluntly.
Although Pain is the nominal leader of the Akatsuki organization, he knows it very well in his heart.
The masked man standing next to Konan is the real mastermind behind the Akatsuki organization.
The so-called conditions are not so much discussing with Payne.
Rather, it was for Obito to hear.
"What conditions?"
Payne asked expressionlessly.
No matter what, Itachi is a very important combat force in the Akatsuki organization.
As long as the conditions are not too extreme, I can accept them.
"I have no objection to destroying Zefeng."
"That guy is a dangerous person."
"I can also accept the capture of the tailed beast."
"but……"
"Sasuke can't kill you yet."
Itachi's voice was calm, without any emotion.
"Sasuke?" Kisame heard this and frowned subconsciously.
In order to help the Red Sand Scorpion and Deidara gain time to retreat, Payne had used the Elephant Turn technique.
This made Kisame and Sasuke have a chance encounter.
He clearly remembered that the Sasuke Itachi mentioned was his biological brother.
"I didn't expect Mr. Itachi to still worry about his brother."
Kisame said teasingly.
The eyes of Obito, Konan, Black Zetsu, and Pain also focused on Obito.
However, facing Kisame's teasing, Itachi immediately sneered.
He shook his head slightly and responded to Kisame, "Kissame, my capacity is not as small as you think."
"The reason why I want to keep Sasuke is not because he is my brother."
"That kind of useless bond has no meaning at all to us, the Uchiha clan."
"I kept him just because his eyes haven't awakened yet."
"That's all."
Itachi said calmly.
Said that Sasuke was just his eye-changing tool.
And Payne doesn't care much about such trivial matters.
Whether Sasuke lives or dies, it will not affect his plan.
What matters is the death of the tailed beast and Zephyr.
On the contrary, the power Itachi possesses will most likely become the key to his dealing with Zephyr.
"I promise you."
Pain agreed to Itachi's conditions without thinking.
that's all……
Everyone in the Akatsuki organization gathered and set off for Sunagakure Village.
The land of wind.
Sand Hidden Village.
After organizing the ninja troops and making a surprise attack on Konoha's troops, Rasa asked Yuryu to go to Zephyr's villa and invite him to the Kazekage Building to participate in the Four Shadows meeting.
Hefeng naturally would not refuse this.
After a while, Zefeng arrived at Luo Sha's office.
"It's better to meet him than to be famous."
Although Luo Sha and He Feng had dealt with each other before, this time it was indeed a formal meeting between the two parties, and Dang even sighed sincerely.
This is not meant as a compliment.
But I really felt like this.
Although Hefeng is now twenty-one years old, he does not have the troubles and pressures of life.
The skin still looks young and tender.
He looked like he was only seventeen or eighteen years old.
Coupled with the tall and slender figure.
Paired with white Hokage Haori.
Even if it is thrown into the crowd, it will be noticed by others at a glance.
"What a nice man..." Terumi Mei's eyes were instantly attracted to Zefeng.
Although Kirigakure Village was affected by the Blood Mist and many outstanding ninjas died prematurely, many outstanding men still grew up.
However, in Terumi Mei's impression of men, almost no one could compare to Zefeng.
Just his sword-shaped eyebrows, starry eyes, and fresh and handsome facial features.
Just let yourself feel excited.
No……
No female ninja would remain indifferent after meeting a man like Zefeng.
"It just so happens that this guy is the Hokage of Konoha."
Terumi Mei's eyes were slightly focused, and he could hardly move his eyes away from Zefeng, and he couldn't help complaining in his heart.
If only Zephyr could be the ninja of Kirigakure Village.
How great would that be?
I would rather not be the fifth Mizukage.
However, there are always no ifs in this world.
Terumi Mei still remembers that it was the man named Zefu who killed the Fourth Mizukage.
The Kirigakure Village was severely damaged into what it is today.
And, take in Zabuza.
He was also the one who destroyed the Kingdom of Thunder.
"Such a handsome man, but he is the most terrifying demon in the ninja world."
Terumi Mei took a deep breath and couldn't help but make this evaluation of Zefeng in her heart.
As for Ohnoki.
He already looked senile.
There should be no disturbance.
But from Zefeng's face, he saw some similarities with Uchiha Madara.
That sense of self-reliance and strong confidence in one's own strength.
He is exactly the same as Uchiha Madara.
It is not even an exaggeration to say that when Zephyr walked straight into this place, Ohnoki mistook Zephyr for Madara Uchiha for a moment.
He was so frightened that his heart skipped a beat.
Fortunately, there are still some differences between the hairstyles of Zephyr and Uchiha Madara.
After calming down for a while, Onoki came out of the bad memories of Uchiha Madara.
Yes.
After all, Uchiha Madara is a ninja who disappeared in the long river of history.
"I guess these two are the Mizukage and Tsuchikage."
Zefeng ignored Luo Sha's greetings. The first thing he did when he came in was to observe the room. After noticing Ohnoki and Terumi Mei sitting on both sides of the room, he said this slowly.
At the same time, Zefeng also noticed that there was an empty seat next to Terumi Mei.
"If I guess correctly, that seat should be reserved for me."
"However, judging from the distribution of seats, this location is really not that good."
Zephyr thought to himself.
As the host of this Chunin Exam, Kazekage Rasa is naturally in the leading position.
On the contrary, he, the Hokage who first proposed the joint chuunin exam, was assigned the worst guest seat.
"Yes, these two are the fifth Mizukage of Kirigakure Village. They are also the first female ninja to become a Kage in history, Mei Terumi."
"And the first one is Ohnoki, the third Tsuchikage known as the living fossil of the ninja world."
Luo Sha introduced the two of them to He Feng, and then gestured to He Feng to sit down with one hand.
"Please take a seat."
Hefeng looked at Luo Sha and didn't say much.
Anyway, in a few days, the Kingdom of Wind will become a part of the history of the ninja world like the Kingdom of Thunder.
Why should I have the same knowledge as Luo Sha?
Thinking of this, Hefeng sat down calmly.
"I wonder what's wrong with Mr. Luo Sha coming to see me suddenly?" Hefeng asked casually.
Hefeng could naturally see that Luo Sha wanted to use this method to delay his voice.
It is convenient for Ma Ji and others to leave Sand Hidden Village and sneak attack Hizashi's troops.
but……
Because of the existence of phone bugs, I have already passed this information to Hizashi.
What awaits Ma Ji and his party now is an abyss.
Hefeng naturally doesn't feel any pressure.
"Is such that……"
Luo Sha deliberately put on a serious attitude.
Naturally, it was impossible for him to know that Hefeng possessed the power of seeing, hearing, and color and the Heart Network.
Because of this ability, it has broken away from the ninjutsu setting.
It is an ability that should not belong to this world.
No matter how smart Luo Sha is, he cannot imagine the existence of the Heart Network.
In his opinion, Zefeng and his ninja troops were already trapped in the dragnet he had set.
What awaits him will be a bottomless abyss.
Although Terumi Mei and Onoki didn't say anything, their thoughts were almost the same as Rasa's.
"Although we are planning to hold the joint chunin exam this time to let the daimyo and others see the strength of ninjas."
"But there are more genin taking the exam this time than I thought."
"Even if it is a conservative estimate, there will be at least 600 people taking part in this exam."
Luo Sha said.
In fact, this question can indeed be regarded as a question.
Although Sunagakure Village has held Chunin exams before, the maximum number of participants at one time was only about a hundred.
This time, the four ninja villages held the chunin exam together.
He really has no experience in this area.
certainly……
This time the joint chuunin exam is not really for genin to become chuunin.
Rather, he specifically found a reason to target Ze Feng.
Naturally, Rasa, the Kazekage, wouldn't really worry about whether he could hold the Chuunin Exam successfully.
"After some thought, I thought, can we directly use a melee method to conduct chuunin selection?"
"In the final analysis, ninjas are a profession that exists for war."
"Rather than theory, knowledge, how to survive in a war and win is the standard that measures a ninja."
Luo Sha got straight to the point and expressed her thoughts.
First, by adopting a melee examination method, all genin can be gathered together.
And it is said to be a melee, but there is a complete alliance between Sand Hidden Village, Kirigakure Village, and Iwagakure Village.
Their respective shadows only have to tell the genin of the village, and target the genin of Konoha.
The so-called melee turned into a crusade against Konoha.
If everything goes smoothly, it is not impossible to directly annihilate the new forces in Konoha.
Secondly, this is also to facilitate beheading Zephyr.
If the competition system is extended, the number of events will increase.
On the contrary, accidents are prone to occur.
It's better to cut through the mess quickly.
Solve the problem neatly.
To make the acting more realistic.
Rasa not only asked what Zefeng thought, but also turned to ask Terumi Mei and Ohnoki what they thought.
"Um……"
I saw the two of them thinking for a moment.
"I think Lord Kazekage is right. Although ninjas will take on daily jobs, they are essentially a profession that exists to deal with wars."
"Especially for countries without ninjas, the biggest purpose of hiring ninjas is to deal with war."
"Invade other countries, or prevent other countries from invading."
"Furthermore, when it comes to survivability in a melee, our genin of Kirigakure Village can be said to be experts in this field."
As she spoke, Terumi Mei raised a proud smile.
It seems that he is determined to get the results of this Chunin Exam.
"A melee?"
Onoki murmured softly, as if hesitating.
But soon, he nodded in agreement.
"This time the four major ninja villages hold the Chunin Exam together, which is indeed something that has never happened before in the ninja world."
"The numbers are also at an unprecedented level."
"It is true that examination content should not be set based on past experience."
"The melee can not only reflect the combat ability of the players."
“It can also test the tacit understanding and cooperation between teams.”
"Considering the significance of ninjas' existence, melee might really be a suitable theme for this exam."
Onoki expressed his opinion.
Then, the two of them and Luo Sha looked at Zefeng tacitly, as if they wanted to hear what he, the Hokage, thought about.
"It's a scuffle."
Zefeng raised his head and glanced at the ceiling, as if thinking.
However, that was not what he was thinking about at all.
He knew very well that no one, including himself, would care about the content of the Chunin Exam.
Even if no one really cares, why bother?
If it's a melee instead...
"Even if Rasa, Terumi Mei, and Onoki have reached a consensus, after the melee begins, there may be three ninjas attacking one side."
"However, the genin I brought this time are not weak at all."
"Even if we fight one against three, we will not fall into the enemy's disadvantage."
Zephyr thought again and again.
Then he spoke directly to the others.
"Since everyone thinks that melee is the most suitable for this Chunin Exam, I have nothing to add."
"Just use a melee method."
"Maybe it will be extra interesting."
The corners of Zefeng's mouth raised, revealing a smile.
Accepted the melee offer.
Meanwhile, night falls.
Ma Ji, Huang Tu, and Qing took the ninjas from their respective villages and secretly set out towards the border of the Kingdom of Wind.
Qing, who has white eyes, relies on the power of pupil skills to distinguish the situation ahead.
War is about to break out.
