War Breaks Out

Konoha 58 Year, April 23

While Uchiha Sasuke and Uzumaki Naruto were still training at the Ninja Academy, the war broke out again.

Iwagakure and Sunagakure launched a surprise war against Konoha, and Konoha was well prepared.

On the Iwagakure battlefield, Shimura Danzo personally commanded and launched a fierce battle with the Iwagakure troops led by Onoki's son. At this moment, Danzo has no intention of playing tricks, because Konoha Village is really facing an unprecedented crisis.

The Sunagakure battlefield was handed over to the command of Jiraiya who rushed back to face the Sunagakure troops led by Kazekage.

In the second month after the war began, Kumogakure Village entered the battlefield and, as a friendly ally of Konoha, personally went to the Konoha border to support the Iwagakure battlefield, which also relieved a lot of pressure on Konoha.

Iwagakure has a feud with Kumogakure, and the current Fourth Raikage's father, Third Raikage, died in Iwagakure's raid. This time it can be regarded as revenge for his father.

While the four countries were fighting fiercely, secretly, the Kirigakure Village controlled by Obito was also waiting for the opportunity to launch a surprise attack on the back of Konoha.

In just one month, the war in the ninja world has become confusing again. If the current strength of the ninja villages is ranked, the two strongest countries will fight against the weaker three.

Konoha is number one, a skinny camel is still bigger than a horse, and with the Land of Fire at its back, it is vast and rich in resources, and still has plenty of energy to spare.

Second Kumogakure and Fourth Raikage are in their prime, and with the two perfect Jinchūriki on their side, they have the potential to surpass Konoha.

The third Iwagakure, Onoki Dust Style is famous in the ninja world, and his son Huangtu, Explosion Style Kari and other ninjas are his arms, although the recent defection of Deidara has left Iwagakure without one of his main combatants.

Sunagakure is fourth, and is in a worse situation.

The resources in the desert itself are scarce, and the younger generation only has Kazekage Rasa.

In the political struggle, the powerful Scorch Style Pakura was killed, and the only remaining one is Chiyo in her twilight years.

Kirigakure is fifth.

Although the elite ninja policy of Blood Dance has caused serious internal friction in Kirigakure, it is still slightly better than Sunagakure in terms of high-end combat power.

Under Obito's control, he has the perfect Jinchūriki Shicang and the double blood-inheritance ninja Terumi Mei.

Ninja sword prodigy Ghost Mangetsu, thunder sword Ringo Yuri and others.

Now the two strongest ninja villages are facing off against the three weaker ninja villages.

The Kingdom of Rain is located at the junction of the three kingdoms of wind, fire and earth. According to this situation, even if the war does not use this place as a battlefield now, it will be burned in the future.

When Kai woke up early in the morning, he received news from Pain. Because many members were out on missions, this time they had to use the magic lantern body technique to hold a meeting to discuss war and other matters.

Kai applied black nail polish evenly on his fingers, quickly formed seals with his hands, and activated the magic lantern body technique.

In an instant, Kai's figure appeared on Gedo Statue's finger like a phantom, and soon after, other members of the Akatsuki Organization also appeared on it.

Ten people stood exactly on top of the ten fingers of the Gedo Statue.

Deidara hadn't seen Kai for several days and asked, "How is it? Have you succeeded in practicing Explosion Style? Are you surprised by my art again?"

Kai nodded, "It's almost successful. The power of Explosion Style is really great. Thank you for your teaching."

"Hahaha, did you see it? Brother Sasori, Kai has been impressed by my art. You should join my art troupe as well."

Sasori's voice was low,"Haha, I will consider making you a puppet. Kai, how is your puppetry training going? Do you feel the eternal beauty?"

Kai answered, "I have already started making puppets. Senior's puppetry skills are really exquisite."

"Yes, Not Bad."

The other Akatsuki members were very surprised. Just by going on a mission with these two people, he took away the best secret technique from them. Are you a succubus?

And are you two stupid? Just give your secret skills to others.

If Kai understood their thoughts, he would definitely stand up and refute them. After all, how do you people understand that art has no boundaries?

Pain interrupted the reminiscing session between several people.

"The five major countries are at war. Konoha Kumogakure joins forces to fight against the other three countries. We are at the center of the three countries and must take action, otherwise it will become a battlefield for the major powers."

"Whether you want to join the Ninja World War or endure it, you have to make a choice this time. Let's speak our minds."

Hidan shouted loudly without hesitation, "Of course, kill them all and sacrifice them to the evil god. War is the best opportunity to sacrifice."

Kakuzu still focuses on money, "We can serve as mercenaries from the five countries and earn commissions from hiring."

After hearing this, Deidara agreed very much, "I agree, I want to let the five major countries see my art."

Just when the wind was turning to one side, Sasori and Kai, the two more strategic people, spoke.

Sasori's deep voice came,"It is not recommended to join the war between the five major countries. In this case, we will attract the attention of the five major nations before we start collecting tailed beasts. Our greatest advantage is to attack in the dark."

Kai agreed, "I agree with Sasori's idea. We can't send our information out in advance, otherwise it will be difficult to complete our plan."

As the leader, Pain asked, "What if the war reaches the Kingdom of Rain, why don't we take action?"

Kai continued, "Of course we have to take action, but not in the name of 'Akatsuki', but in the name of Hanzo."

"We can let out the news that if anyone dares to set up the Kingdom of Rain as a battlefield, they are targeting demigod Hamzo as their enemy."

"Even if a ninja village breaks in, thinking that Hanzo's old and is nothing to worry about, we can just suppress them with thunderous means."

"When everyone is afraid of the name of demigod, naturally no one will dare to attack the Kingdom of Rain."

Everyone knew that Hanzo was dead, but the outside world didn't know that.

After taking over the Kingdom of Rain, Pain had been using the policy of sealing off villages and countries to cut off contact.

With the addition of disguise, no one in the outside world could have imagined that the demigod who was famous in the ninja world was dead.

Kai looked at everyone and said, "In this way, the Fourth Ninja War will become an internal conflict among the five major ninja villages, which is very beneficial to our plan."

Everyone nodded and looked at Pain. He was the leader, and the final decision had to be left to him.

"Kai has a good idea. If ninjas from other countries enter the Land of Rain, kill them without mercy. You will be responsible for this matter, Kai. What help do you need?"

Kai replied, "I need the help of Sasori-senpai and Kisame. They are poison masters and Water Style experts respectively."

"There is also Sanshouyu's psychic scroll and Rain Shinobi's command."

"Okay, I order you to be the commander-in-chief of Rain village during the war, and be fully responsible for external wars. Sanjiaoyu's psychic scroll will be sent soon."

"The Sasori of Red Sand, Kisame will be responsible for cooperating with Hyuga Kai's actions."

"Understood." Sasori considered an old friend of Kai and of course he won't have any objections.

Kisame, on the other hand, is a loyal executor of orders and has no objections.

Kai smiled,"I won't let you down."

"All members of the Akatsuki Organization who are on missions abroad should return to Amegakure Village immediately after their missions."

"Understood."

"Zetsu, you are responsible for monitoring the movements of the five major countries and reporting them to me and Kai at any time."

"Yes."

"This is the end of the meeting. Let's proceed according to this plan."

As soon as Pain finished speaking, several people had disappeared. Kakuzu was anxious to make war money, Hidan also wanted to find lone ninjas to sacrifice, and Uchiha Itachi might be worried about the safety of Sasuke and Konoha.

Kai also said goodbye to everyone,"Goodbye, everyone."

"Don't forget to practice my art when you go back."

"I won't forget it." Kai's figure also disappeared from the Gedo Statue.

The remaining people also disappeared one after another, and finally only Pain and Konan were left.

Konan asked her own question, "Pain, are you not afraid that Kai is a spy of Konoha, why did you hand over the command to him."

Pain said,"No, according to the intelligence we have, he has already completely broken ties with Konoha, and his ideas and strategies coincide with mine."

"I'm still worried about those ninjas from Konoha."

"In that case, Konan, you can monitor him as the captain of the Amegakure ninja."

"Ok."
