Chapter – 332 The problems

The biggest question is, will the five great shinobi villages be willing to openly declare their hostility against Akatsuki?

Akatsuki has not yet started collecting Bijuu, nor have they revealed any hint of it. So, will all the shinobi villages really be willing to dispose of Akatsuki, unlike Amatsukami?

Moreover, Akatsuki is a mercenary organization that is available to do all sorts of dirty work as commissions. For these reasons, even with them being openly declared as wanted criminals, Akatsuki Organization has no shortage of tasks at their end.

In the original Naruto story, Iwagakure had a good relationship with Akatsuki as they were in close ties with Akatsuki when it came to the matter of issuing commissions.

The same is probably the case here, there are many other Shinobi villages, big or small for that matter who regularly employ Akatsuki for all sorts of tasks, as such Akatsuki still has the power to use diplomacy should they deem it necessary and exchange benefits with one or two of the great shinobi villages, and if they do it then the collision will instantly collapse.

If you want to establish a united front against Akatsuki, Kage Talks have to be held, and these talks will involve a lot of procrastination as well as negotiations.

And during this time, it is highly likely that the intelligence of the united front would be leaked to Akatsuki.

Don't forget that each of Akatsuki's members has their spies lurking in various villages. Sasori is the best example, he obviously has his spies lurking inside Sunagakure.

So, it is very hard to say if the intelligence wouldn't be leaked to Akatsuki.

And once the intelligence is leaked, Akatsuki will be vigilant and be prepared for the upcoming surprise attack which would be disadvantageous for the united front.

Therefore, Kuroto said, "The opportunities of such a surprise are limited, if wasted then we will forever regret it… so I don't think that it is the best opportunity right now."

However, it doesn't seem that Shisui is convinced. The earlier they get rid of Akatsuki, the earlier they take care of the organization that truly poses a threat to Konohagakure as well as the rest of the shinobi world the better it would be, right?

Otherwise, who knows how strong Akatsuki will become in the future? What would happen if more countries like the Land of Demons are destroyed without any resistance?

Is there a guarantee that Akatsuki will just sit back and watch as they have been doing for the past few years?

No, there is not!

Moreover, if Akatsuki really wants to revive Juubi, then why give them the opportunity? Just deal with the entire organization early on. Don't give them the opportunity to collect the nine Bijuu!

These are Shisui's thoughts.

Hearing Shisui's thoughts Kuroto was silent, Shisui's thoughts are of course relevant.

It is best to deal with the Akatsuki early on, why waste time? Waiting for them to collect Bijuu one after another? Allow them to declare war on the entire Shinobi world? So that the death toll rises to thousands and tens of thousands?

Kuroto knows that Shisui is doing everything he can for the village and the Uchiha Clan, as well as for the Shinobi World. And what he is speaking is not wrong, but if only things were that easy.

Looking at Shisui's expression, Kuroto felt that stopping or convincing Shisui would be very difficult this time.

"Alright." – Sighing slightly, Kuroto decided to bet on the situation, anyway, he is not losing anything… what's the worst that can happen?

Hearing Kuroto's agreement, Shisui said, "In that case, we must report the intelligence to Hokage-sama as soon as possible!"

Kuroto nodded, "Right, but we cannot directly report this intelligence to Sandaime-sama, otherwise if asked how do we know this? We don't really have a suitable answer, nor do we have any explanation as to why did we not reveal such critical information earlier."

Shisui nodded.

Kuroto continued, "So I think using this mission would be the best opportunity to reveal this intelligence."

Shisui thought about it and nodded.

At this time, Kuroto added, "To be honest, if we really want this approach to succeed, then I think It would be best to not contact all the five great Shinobi villages, otherwise, it will result in a total failure."

Shisui frowned upon realizing the true meaning, "You mean that few of the other villages would side with Akatsuki?"

Kuroto shook his head but said nonetheless, "Well, don't underestimate Akatsuki." – After a pause, Kuroto continued, "Even if they don't side with Akatsuki, there is no guarantee that they would not betray the alliance…"

Among the five great Shinobi Villages, Iwagakure does hold tendencies to do so.

Besides, the status of Kirigakure is completely obscured by fog, there's no telling if the current Mizukage, Karatachi Yagura is self-aware or under Obito's control.

So, even if Iwagakure does not betray the alliance, as long as Kirigakure is involved, and if the current Mizukage is under Obito's control, then all the planning and surprise attacks are pretty much useless.

But if Iwagakure and Kirigakure are excluded, then it is hard to tell if Konohagakure, Kumogakure, and Sunagakure alone have the power to destroy Akatsuki from the root?

"Well let's just go with your thought this time…" – said Kuroto finalizing the decision.

Shisui nodded and then both dispersed to their respective homes to prepare for the mission.
