Ch. 194. Akatsuki's New Plan. [1]

　　Kumogakure, Cloud Mansion.

　　Neatly arranged floor-to-ceiling windows provide ample light, making the entire office bright, without any dark corners.

　　Luxurious leather sofas exude luxury.

　　The Yondaime Raikage, Ai, was sitting on the sofa with his legs crossed and one hand resting on the armrest of the sofa.

　　The whole body is full of muscles!

　　Mabui stood aside, wearing a secretary's short skirt and work clothes, very smart.

　　The V-shaped collar, paired with a red-edged and black grid-patterned tube top, is slightly conservative yet full of charm.

　　She was holding a folder in her hand and doing a work report:

- "Raikage-Sama, this is the information about Phoenix Village and the Shodai Hōōkage Mizuki."

- "Konoha's intelligence control is very strict. We don't have detailed information about the battle on the rooftop of the Chunin Examination, so we can't make a detailed analysis of Mizuki's strength and abilities."

　　Raikage tapped the armrest of the sofa with his left hand, as if thinking:

- "A newly built small Phoenix Village actually has three tailed beasts."

- "This is unreasonable!"

- "I have more than 20,000 ninjas in Kumogakure, but I only have 2 tailed beasts. This is so unfair."

- "Mizuki should give me two tailed beasts in Kumogakure. This is only fair."

- "No, all three tailed beasts should be given to us."

- "No, it's still wrong. Those three tailed beasts are originally from the Kumogakure."

'And a lip-rolling machine as a gift'

- "Contact the Daimyo immediately and declare war on the Land of Birds. Our Kumogakure also dispatched 300 ninjas to attack Phoenix Village, and we will definitely take back the tailed beasts."

　　Mabui:

- "Raikage-Sama, calm down!"

　　Ai said loudly:

- "Those are three tailed beasts, how do you want me to calm down?"

　　Mabui said without changing his expression:

- "The Land of Lightning and the Land of Birds are too far apart, and there is also the Land of Fire and the Land of Earth in between. If we move, Konohagakure and Iwagakure will also move, and it will easily cause trouble."

- "Even if we capture the Jinchuuriki, we will easily be intercepted on the way back to the Land of Thunder."

　　Raikage frowned, Mabui's words made sense.

　　It seems a bit foolish to cross several countries to attack the Land of Birds.

　　Mabui added:

- "Let's talk about Mizuki, he has a terrifying record of fighting Sandaime, the Yondaime Kazekage, and Orochimaru by himself, and killing three of them."

- "He was also responsible for the bombing of the Hokage Tower in Konohagakure this time. He walked away afterwards. Konohagakure had nothing to do with him."

- "Such a ruthless person, we have to be careful when trying to make plans for him!"

　　Raikage was very unwilling:

- "Those are three tailed beasts, three, Mabui."

- "Otherwise, I'll go there in person, along with Bi, with fewer people, pretending to be a caravan and sneaking into the Land of Birds, attack the Phoenix Village without anyone noticing, and steal the jinchuuriki away before other countries notice."

- "Although that Mizuki is not weak, he will definitely die if Bi and I join forces."

　　Mabuyi in thought's:

- "Raikage-sama, you are dreaming!"

　　Sandaime, the Yondaime Kazekage and Orochimaru, the three powerful Kage-Level warriors together are no match for Mizuki.

　　Are you a little overconfident?

　　At the same time, in the Land of Earth, the conference room.

　　Oonoki, the Sandaime Tsuchikage with two scales, is sitting at the top, with Akitsuchi and Kurotsuchi standing behind him.

　　The other clan chief advisors also sat in their seats.

　　Oonoki:

- "This is an opportunity, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. The Ichibi, Nanabi, and Kyuubi should all belong to our Iwagakure."

- "The Land of Birds and the Land of Earth are adjacent to each other. They are so close. If we send our troops now, we will be able to conquer Phoenix Village tomorrow. In three days, the three tailed beasts will become part of our village."

　　The Leaders of the Clans:

- "Tsuchikage-Sama, give the order."

　　Oonoki is short in stature, but very powerful.

　　He shook his head and said:

- "Although I haven't seen Mizuki's strength with my own eyes, he can win the title of Double Kage Killer. He is definitely not a weakling."

- "He took away the Kyuubi Jinchuuriki from Konohagakure, but Konohagakure did not send out ninjas to take it back. This is enough to show that Konohagakure is afraid of Mizuki's strength."

- "So, don't act rashly."

　　The longer people live, the more cautious they become. Oonoki is not a muscle-brainer like Raikage. He will think carefully about everything and weigh the pros and cons.

　　In the Sunagakure of the Land of Wind, the Godaime Kazekage has not yet been elected, and the top management is seizing power.

　　The hundreds of Sunagakure ninja's who were sent to Phoenix Village to seize Gaara, the Ichibi's jinchuuriki, also became victims of the power grab.

　　The Land of Water is isolated overseas and pays no attention to news from the outside world.

　　None of the five major ninja villages made any move, and the smaller ninja villages didn't even dare to have any evil intentions.

　　Amegakure, on top of the tower.

　　Yahiko, Nagato, and Konan chatted for a long time, and quarrels broke out from time to time, but they soon returned to calm.

　　I don't know how long it took, but the three of them finished their discussion and finalized the new Akatsuki's plan.

#$$$###

　　Konan followed Yahiko and left, leaving Nagato sitting quietly on a chair, looking at the drizzle outside the window.

　　At this time, the space wrinkled and Uchiha Obito appeared.

　　His face was hidden under the mask, and even the [Rinnegan] couldn't see through it:

- "Nagato, you are shaken!"

　　Nagato said calmly:

- "Yahiko is the leader of the Akatsuki. He was before and he is now."

- "After discussion, the Akatsuki original plan to capture the tailed beasts remains unchanged."

- "But the final plan was no longer implemented and was changed to mediation."

- "After the collection of the nine tailed beasts is completed, I will serve as the Juubi Jinchuuriki and become the new Six Paths Sage. At that time, the Akatsuki had absolute power that surpassed the Ninja World."

- "But the Akatsuki will not rule the Ninja World, but will supervise and regulate as an existence beyond the Ninja World."

- "Monitor all countries and shinobi villages. If a war breaks out, the Akatsuki will stand up immediately and mediate. If mediation cannot be done, it will be suppressed by force."
