Kakuzu was a bit panicked at this moment!
If he hadn't killed Konohagakure's advisor elder Utatane Koharu, Konohagakure wouldn't have reacted so strongly.
And Uchiha Yan wouldn't have taken the opportunity of participating in the five great ninja villages' joint Jonin assessment to reveal all the Akatsuki's information.
Now, it's a mess!
Not to mention Konohagakure, other villages would keep sending people to infiltrate the Land of Rain to investigate the Akatsuki.
Even if Nagato could clear out the infiltrating enemies one by one, it wouldn't matter.
The great ninja villages weren't fools. If the people they sent kept disappearing without a trace, they would know something was wrong.
If one or two villages experienced this, it could be ignored, but if everyone did, it became a serious issue.
The Akatsuki's problem would be taken seriously by the five great ninja villages!
And it wasn't just about the Rinnegan.
"Leader, should the organization change its base?"
Sasori made a reasonable suggestion.
The five great ninja villages wouldn't easily give up on the legendary Sage's Eye.
Even if their leader claimed to be a god and had near-godlike power.
Small skirmishes, the Akatsuki organization wouldn't worry.
But what if the five great ninja villages started a war because of this?
The Akatsuki organization wasn't ready to face the five great ninja villages head-on.
If the five great ninja villages used some harsh methods against the Akatsuki organization, the members might be fine, but Amegakure Village would suffer.
The best way to solve the problem would be to change bases, leave Amegakure Village, and hide somewhere else.
As for Amegakure Village, let it suffer.
After all, Amegakure Village didn't provide much help to the Akatsuki organization and could be abandoned at any time.
At least in the eyes of other Akatsuki members, Amegakure Village was a pawn that could be discarded at any time.
Everyone's eyes fell on Tendo Pain.
"The organization doesn't need to leave Amegakure Village."
Facing the members' gazes, Tendo said something that made everyone uneasy.
To other members, Amegakure Village and the Land of Rain were dispensable.
The Akatsuki organization would still be the Akatsuki organization even if they left Amegakure Village and the Land of Rain.
But Nagato and Konan were different.
This was their home, the place where the Akatsuki organization was founded, and where Yahiko's dream began.
Nagato wouldn't easily abandon the Land of Rain and Amegakure Village to hide somewhere else.
Compared to Black Zetsu and Obito, his goals were clearer, without so many dark schemes and deceptions.
So tough?
Nagato's attitude was beyond everyone's expectations.
Helpless, the others could only look at Konan, hoping she would say something fair.
Unfortunately, Konan's stance was the same as Nagato's.
"The Akatsuki organization will not leave Amegakure Village."
"....."
"But we are not ready to fight the five great ninja villages."
"Why wait for the five great ninja villages to attack us?"
Tendo's words directly shut Kakuzu up.
In the corner, Black Zetsu was cursing inwardly!
This mission to rob Konohagakure's supplies was a complete disaster.
The Akatsuki organization had always hidden, fearing being noticed by the five great ninja villages. They weren't ready to face them yet.
But now, first, that bastard Orochimaru got caught and spilled the organization's secrets.
Then Utatane Koharu's death completely enraged Konohagakure, who exposed all of Akatsuki's information.
At this moment, the Akatsuki organization had become completely transparent in the eyes of the five great ninja villages.
But Nagato and Konan refused to move the Akatsuki organization out of Amegakure Village.
This would affect his plans.
But since Nagato and Konan didn't want to leave, Black Zetsu couldn't force them out.
Even if Obito came and used Uchiha Madara's name, Nagato and Konan wouldn't trust them.
"I will make them realize the power of God!!!!"
Tendo Pain slowly floated up from the stone chair.
The meeting ended, but Black Zetsu wasn't happy.
"Nagato seems to be losing control."
"If I were him, I would also make the five great ninja villages recognize my strength."
Obito sneered, not taking it seriously at all.
Nagato and Konan didn't trust him and Black Zetsu.
Similarly, Obito didn't trust anyone, including Black Zetsu.
Although Nagato's choice was somewhat unexpected and showed signs of breaking free from control, it didn't have much impact on Obito.
As long as the Rinnegan didn't fall into the hands of the five great ninja villages, it was fine.
Nagato?
He was just a pawn in the open, nurturing the Rinnegan, and could be discarded at any time.
As for Black Zetsu's worries, what did they have to do with Uchiha Obito?
Since Obito turned dark, his innocence had completely disappeared, replaced by a smart Uchiha Obito.
After Nagato's death, he hid one Rinnegan, showing that he was guarding against Uchiha Madara and Black Zetsu.
Unfortunately, he underestimated Black Zetsu, and the hidden Rinnegan was still found.
The most incomprehensible thing was that Obito, who had turned dark and wanted to destroy the world, could be swayed by Kakashi and Naruto's words.
As soon as the four great ninja villages got the information about the Rinnegan, they sent people to Amegakure Village to investigate secretly.
Unfortunately, these people met the same fate as Shinnosuke; Nagato was waiting for them.
In Kumogakure Village, the exam continued.
From the second round of the exam, it would be broadcast live.
In the exam hall, Kumogakure Village installed many decorations and prepared many screens for viewing. The monitors would show each contestant's live broadcast on a small screen for the audience to watch.
There weren't many participants, just three people from each village, totaling only fifteen people.
Kumogakure Village had the ability to broadcast live.
If it were like the Chunin exam with hundreds of participants, even Kumogakure Village wouldn't dare to do this.
Led by the staff, Yan, Shisui, and Kakashi entered the second exam hall.
"It's clear that Kumogakure Village spent a lot for this exam."
The exam hall was a valley, a very large valley.
The valley had various terrains, forests, rocks, deserts, and even swamps. Building such a place would cost a lot of money.
In such a large valley, with only fifteen people, it would be hard to meet anyone unless they actively searched.
Other village ninjas also arrived one after another, and all the ninja exam participants from the five great ninja villages were present.
Great, the five great ninja villages, three hostile to Konohagakure, and one watching the show.
The people from Sunagakure Village, Kumogakure Village, and Iwagakure Village all looked at Yan's team with ill intentions.
The three from Kirigakure Village were better, not showing obvious hostility, standing far away watching.
"I think if too many people pass the exam, it would be a bit of a failure for us. What do you think, Shisui?"
Yan said casually.
Shisui, standing beside him, was stunned for a moment and then slightly bowed his head:
"As you wish."
