-------------------------------------------------------------
In the days that followed, the ninja world was quite unsettled.
Due to the deliberate propaganda by the Hidden Stone Village, the alliance between the Hidden Cloud Village and Konoha gradually became known to the various factions in the ninja world. However, the Hidden Stone Village and the Hidden Sand Village did not back down because of this.
Especially the new Kazekage of the Hidden Sand Village, Chiyo, who publicly declared that they would definitely find out the whereabouts of the Third Kazekage!
Undoubtedly, his statement clearly indicated the stance of the Hidden Sand Village, which was to insist on launching this just war!
In response to the actions of the Sand Village, the Tsuchikage of the Stone Village, Ōnoki, also made a response. On one hand, he declared the unbreakable alliance with the Sand Village, and on the other hand, he openly and secretly condemned Konoha for such a despicable act of assassinating a village leader.
Under the scrutiny of various forces, Konoha had no choice but to bear this vile reputation, unable to defend itself against the accusations.
There was no way around it. With everyone insisting and accusing Konoha of secretly killing the Kazekage and willing to start a war that benefits no one to avenge him, Konoha's explanations seemed powerless in comparison.
Of course, other factions were eagerly anticipating the outcome of the war, ready to take advantage of the chaos.
After all, the five great ninja villages had always been oppressing them, and this war would undoubtedly disrupt the balance among the five villages.
If they could seize enough benefits during this conflict, it was possible to become the sixth great ninja village.
Thus, all factions were eagerly awaiting the outbreak of war, quietly accumulating their strength.
Meanwhile, in the Land of Rain.
During these few days, Aizen visited an underground research facility in the Land of Rain, managed by Ame, to check on the progress of the experiments with White Zetsu. However, there wasn't much progress. After giving some instructions, Aizen returned to Las Noches.
Because of Aizen's orders, several individuals from the Rain Village also arrived to witness the new member of Las Noches.
The Jinchuriki of the Five-Tails, Han, had been found and abandoned by Saki several days ago in a place far from Las Noches. This was also on Aizen's orders.
With the presence of the other half of the Five-Tails' Yang chakra, Han was not easy to kill. Therefore, Aizen let him go, as it was closely related to his upcoming plans.
In Las Noches, everyone stood respectfully on both sides of the palace, watching Aizen on the front seat.
Sitting in his seat with a slight smile, Aizen supported his chin with one hand, looking at the crowd present.
The newly arrived individuals were puzzled, noticing a little boy with fluffy red hair and an expressionless face standing beside Saki.
This unfamiliar face was undoubtedly the new member of Las Noches, but why hadn't Aizen introduced him yet? Was there something else?
Jinnai squinted his narrow eyes, glancing at Aizen's side. Only Saki stood there, making him wonder.
'The little brat named Ulquiorra is missing. It seems... the new member is not the only one to appear.'
Beside Jinnai were Kakuzu and Nawaki.
Kakuzu, wearing a mask, looked calmly at Sasori with his green eyes, saying nothing.
Nawaki, however, scratched his head, glancing around and occasionally poking Kakuzu, whispering.
"Hey, Kakuzu, why does that kid have the same expression as you? Maybe you should ask Aizen to team up with him. You guys probably have a lot in common!"
Of course, Kakuzu ignored him except for a slight twitch on his forehead.
Unable to find common ground with Kakuzu, Nawaki looked at the worried Konan and the others with curiosity.
Aizen was sitting at the top of the hall, so he didn't dare act recklessly. Instead, he signaled to the three with exaggerated winks.
Noticing this, Konan and the others exchanged glances with their eyes.
"Why do you all look so worried?"
"You weren't at the Rain Village, so you don't know. A few days ago, there was intense fighting deep within Las Noches where Aizen-sama resides!"
"What!? Is it related to the new member? He doesn't look strong enough for that."
"We're considering that... But it might also be related to a tailed beast. Aizen brought back the Five-Tails' Jinchuriki before."
"Oh... but why are you all so worried?"
"Idiot Nawaki, haven't you noticed someone's missing from Aizen-sama side?"
"Now that you mention it! Where's that arrogant kid from before!?"
"You... you're too stupid. We don't want to talk to you."
The group continued their rapid eye movements, somehow understanding each other.
"Clack!" "Clack!" "Clack!"
At this moment, heavy footsteps from one side of the palace caught their attention. Everyone tensed up, glancing in that direction.
From the darkness behind the hall, Ulquiorra's figure slowly emerged, followed by a tall, burly figure.
Draped in a white robe, with golden bracers on his hands and a large golden compass hanging at his waist, his arrogant eyes swept over the crowd like a sharp blade. His white beard and lion-like white hair, along with a scar across his eyes, exuded a sense of dominance.
There was no doubt that it was Baraggan.
Standing tall and straight, his eyes filled with a murderous aura as he looked at the crowd, as if a lion patrolling its territory.
Of course, this was just his own feeling.
Nawaki and Yahiko below were speechless. From the moment they saw Baraggan, they were covered in black lines, seemingly developing the ability to complain, whispering to each other.
"He's so old, yet he's wearing gold bracelets... Is he a nouveau riche!?"
"You only see the bracelets? Look at that thing on his waist. Isn't that a nautical compass? Why is it hanging there!?"
"And that aura stronger than Aizen's!? Doesn't he know subordinates should act like subordinates!?"
"We should find time to teach him a lesson, show him the rules."
"But... he's an old man. Is it really okay to bully the elderly?"
Hearing their whispers, Baraggan almost tripped. His face darkened with anger as he glared at them, thinking.
Damn humans!
