The Land of Rain.

Continuous heavy rain washes away this country that cries all year round.

Therefore, the pointed steel towers and densely exposed drainage pipes have formed this country's unique architectural style.

Inside the top floor of the tallest spire in Yuyin Village.

At this moment, Uchiha Obito, who had just received information from Zetsu, still wore his spiral mask and said to Pain: "Konoha and Kumo ninja are at war."

Pain, who possesses the only reincarnation eye in the ninja world, nodded expressionlessly.

The current strength of the Akatsuki organization is still very weak, and it is not qualified to participate in major events in the ninja world.

Anyway, organizations with tailed beasts like the five major national ninja villages will be their enemies in the future, and he is willing to watch each other fight to the death.

"What a pity! If the guy with the Byakugan among the Mist Ninjas hadn't seen through the illusion I cast on the Fourth Mizukage, maybe the Mist Ninjas could have taken advantage of it and weakened Konoha." Uchiha Obito said regretfully.

.

If given the chance, he would not mind weakening Ichiban Konoha's power.

Of course, this is without having to show up.

During the fight with the Fourth Hokage, he saw through the truth and was injured at his hands. Later, he witnessed his act of squeezing the Nine-Tails with his own eyes. It can be said that he was extremely afraid of this person.

If he was not completely sure, he would not be willing to face it personally.

It's a pity that now the Mist Ninja is no longer under his control, and the idea of ​​dealing with Konoha can only come to an end.

Payne also has a certain understanding of the Fourth Hokage who mastered the Wood Release through Obito Uchiha's narration.

Although he knew that the former was afraid of him, and at the same time he was more suspicious of the true identity of the "Uchiha Madara" in front of him, he still didn't take it too seriously and said: "Don't worry, even the famous Wood Release is in front of the Rinnegan.

I can only bow my head."

No one knows better than Payne the power of the Samsara Eye, known as the Eye of the Six Paths Immortal.

Under these eyes, the self-proclaimed "god" doesn't care about any so-called strong people.

At this time, Payne was thinking more about how to strengthen the Akatsuki organization.

In the future, when it comes to capturing tailed beasts, relying solely on him, Konan, and the guy in front of him who claims to be Uchiha Madara will have too little power.

We still need to recruit more strong people.

"I already have an idea for the new candidates for the organization. I will recruit them in the next few days." Payne said calmly.

"Oh? It seems that the opponent is very capable if you can make Payne take action." Uchiha Obito asked curiously.

"Kakuzu, an old man who remains from the previous era, is quite capable, but I value him more for his financial management ability. If the Akatsuki organization wants to develop, it needs such talents," Payne said, "In addition, I value the other person's financial management ability.

, there is another person, the S-class rebel ninja of Sand Ninja Village named Red Sand Scorpion, I will leave it to you, Xiaonan, to recruit."

"Okay."

In the depths of darkness, Xiaonan, who had always stood quietly, walked out with a cold face and nodded.

Finally, Payne asked: "So Mr. Madara, your identity still needs to be kept secret?"

"Yes, now is not the time for me to show up." Uchiha Obito shook his head and said, "Perhaps, I will use a new identity to join Akatsuki some time later."

"At that time, you can call me...A Fei."

......

Konoha Village.

After groups of Konoha ninjas rushed to the battlefield with Kumo ninjas, it was time for Yun Ting, the Fourth Hokage, to set off.

The Shadow of a Village went to the battlefield in person, which seemed very unusual to Kumo Ninja, because their Raikage often did this.

Even though the Third Raikage was tricked by the Iwa Ninja because he took the lead, he was beaten to death.

Today's Fourth Raikage still has this style. After hearing that Konoha declared war, he had personally led the troops to the front line.

But for Konoha, the Hokage's dispatches have been very rare in the past twenty years.

This is not to say that Hiruzen Sarutobi, who was the Third Hokage at that time, was afraid of anything.

This is simply because although the Country of Fire is located in the most fertile area on the mainland, it is a very unfavorable place for the Fourth War from a military perspective.

In addition, every time there is a great ninja war, the Fire Nation will be beaten by groups.

Therefore, unless there is an inevitable crisis, Sarutobi Hiruzen, as the Hokage, needs to be the Dinghaishenzhen to take control of Konoha.

But the present is different from the past.

The entire ninja world has just experienced the end of the three wars. The sand ninja, rock ninja and fog ninja have already been crippled, and Konoha does not need to worry about their coming again.

This gave Yunting, the Fourth Hokage, the opportunity to go out in person.

What's more, this battle is meant to be fought quickly.

As Konoha's top combat power, he will not be absent.

At this moment, outside the gate of Konoha Village, Yunting, who was wearing a Hokage robe as usual, reached out and patted Nara Shikakudō, who was in charge of staying behind:

"The village is entrusted to you. Besides..."

Speaking of this, Yunting's voice was deliberately lowered so that only the two of them could hear it clearly.

"Those old people in the village, please pay more attention. If there is anything unusual, remember to understand it in time."

"Understood, Hokage-sama!"

Thanks to Yunting's special care in recent years, the Nara clan has achieved great development.

Therefore, the fate of the Nara clan has long been linked to Yunting.

As the clan leader, Nara Shikaku has already stood on the boat of Yunting.

As for his former allies, the Sarutobi clan, Nara Shikaku can only express his deep regret.

After staying under Yunting for so long, not many people know better than him how powerful the power in the former's hands is.

Even if the Third Hokage and others have different ideas, it is almost impossible to realize them now.

For the sake of the clan, Nara Shikaku will never make a short-sighted move.

What's more, to be honest, he is also very interested in the future blueprint outlined by Yunting.

Therefore, in both public and private matters, Nara Shikaku will listen carefully to Yunting's instructions.

Yunting is also very relieved about this smart man under his command.

However, for the sake of superiors, he still retains secret power in the village.

In this way, under the double combination, he can leave with peace of mind.

Finally, after patting the shoulders of Nara Shikaku and others who had stayed behind, and amid spontaneous cheers from the Konoha villagers, Yunting set off with the last batch of ninja troops.

Following among them were Ritsuko Yamanaka, the Shadow Guards, Uchiha Shisui, Uchiha Itachi, Uzumaki Kushina, Metkai, Kakashi and other Konoha masters.

Coupled with the Namikaze Minato and others who have arrived in advance, it can be said that the lineup sent by Konoha to deal with the Kumo ninja this time is extremely luxurious.

Yunting really couldn't think of how he could lose.

"Come on, Mom! Let's defeat bad guys like Kumo Ninja with Dad!"

As they set off, amidst the lively farewells, a vigorous blond male voice suddenly drowned out all the others.

The boy's mother, Uzumaki Kushina, who had beautiful red hair, looked back and gave her son a big thumbs up, and shouted and explained again: "Naruto! Take care of yourself while your parents are away.

Don’t spend money indiscriminately, throw away expired milk, and go to your Aunt Meiqin if you have anything, you know?”

"I know!" Although Naruto's little face was very worried, he still replied with a sensible and relieved smile.

There are many more conversations like this before parting.

Yunting did not interrupt, but watched all this quietly.

It wasn't until everything was over that he waved and said:

"Let's go!"

Change always requires sacrifice.

But as the leader of everyone, what Yunting can do is to do his best to reduce losses.

Until the day of true peace comes.

......

The Country of Tang.

As a country famous throughout the Ninja world for its beautiful natural environment and numerous hot spring tourist resorts, it has rapidly declined due to the outbreak of the Third World War in recent years.

Originally, they had recently heard about the peace talks between the Fire Country and the Thunder Country, and they were very happy that the war was finally over.

But what I didn't expect was that a more intense war would come again.

This has undoubtedly cast a deep haze on everyone from the daimyo nobles to the common people in Tang Country.

Not only because the tourism industry that they relied on as the mainstay of their economy has recovered indefinitely, but also because the center of the war between Konoha and Kumo Ninja is in the Country of Yu!
