Chapter 305 Akatsuki Covets the Nine-Tails
Nagato looked at Danzo and said calmly, "So you came here for the Rinnegan."
Danzo said helplessly, "This is the legendary Sage's Eye, which is said to be able to create the world. The Hokage is worried that it will affect the power structure of the ninja world."
Konan noticed another detail and asked, "You said the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki is about to give birth, which means she's a woman, right?"
Danzo nodded: "The Nine-Tails Jinchuriki is our top secret. I wouldn't reveal this information if it weren't to show you my sincerity. As for more detailed information, I'm sorry, I won't reveal it unless you agree to my plan."
Yahiko asked, "Danzo-san, what exactly is your plan?"
Danzo revealed his purpose: "To avoid war, I will give you information about the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki. If you kill her, Konoha will need to reseal the Nine-Tails and will not have the energy to attack you for a short time."
When Yahiko heard Danzo say this, he did not agree. Instead, he frowned and expressed his concerns.
"Killing the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki will provoke Konoha's retaliation and could very likely trigger a war."
Danzo advised, "If you don't kill her, Konoha will definitely attack you. If you kill her, Konoha will be in turmoil. If I strongly oppose it, there's at least a 50% chance of avoiding war, if not 100% certain."
Danzo's refusal to take on too much responsibility actually strengthened his persuasiveness, causing Yahiko and the other two to fall into deep thought.
Xiao Nan asked the crucial question: "How could you choose to believe us? We used to be enemies."
When Danzo entered the Land of Rain, he captured Nagato and Konan. Konan still harbors hostility towards Danzo.
Danzo continues to deliver a phenomenal performance.
“We have spies in both Amegakure and Sunagakure. They reported information about your Akatsuki organization. I also contacted Orochimaru. Finally, I was convinced that you genuinely desire peace, which is why I came to find you.”
The matter was of great importance, and Yahiko could not make a decision lightly, so he arranged for Danzo to rest and then convened a meeting with the Akatsuki members.
After recounting Danzo's story to everyone, Yahiko emphasized at the end, "These are all Danzo's side of the story, and we cannot be sure if they are true. Orochimaru-san, what are your thoughts?"
Orochimaru pondered for a moment before saying, "Before I left Konoha, Danzo was already at odds with the Third and Fourth Hokage. Their conflict was real. As for Danzo's other words, I don't know."
Everyone nodded slightly. It was good that Danzo and the Hokage were at odds; this basically ruled out the possibility that they had joined forces to set a trap to lure the Akatsuki.
Kakuzu said nonchalantly, "Whether Danzo's words are true or false is not important. What we need to consider is the risks and benefits of this matter. Even if Danzo is lying and the Hokage has no intention of attacking us, we can still take the opportunity to seize the Nine-Tails."
Because of Ooka Shin's influence, Yahiko and the Akatsuki organization were not as naive as in the original story, and they knew that peace could not be achieved through dialogue.
Therefore, the Akatsuki organization actively strengthened its own power, intending to use its strength to force others not to easily launch a war.
One of the plans is to collect the power of the tailed beasts to enhance the power of the Gedo Mazo.
However, Yahiko is not as extreme as Nagato after his corruption in the anime. He will not start a war for the sake of the tailed beasts. He will capture tailed beasts when the opportunity is right and will not capture them when it is not right. He will capture as many as he can.
Yahiko still wants to achieve his goals primarily through peaceful means such as developing Amegakure and forging alliances, with military deterrence as a secondary measure, while minimizing bloodshed.
Kakuzu's meaning was clear: regardless of Danzo's purpose, the Akatsuki could use Danzo as an inside man to seize the Nine-Tails, thus ensuring that the Akatsuki would not lose out.
Konan frowned and said, "If Danzo deceives us and kills the Jinchuriki, it could trigger a war. If he also steals the Nine-Tails, Konoha will definitely attack us. We must do our best to reduce the possibility of war."
Tiehu sneered, "Why don't we make a big scene? As long as we show enough strength and Konoha makes enough sacrifices, even if they want to, they won't be able to attack us."
Objectively speaking, this is a good method, but it will result in the deaths of many people. So Yahiko shook his head: "This can only be used as a backup plan. Let's think about how to solve the problem with less bloodshed."
Nagato then said, "Don't worry about the Nine-Tails. After capturing the Nine-Tails, I can use the Gedo Mazo to absorb some of its power and then return it to Konoha."
Nagato's goal was neither to revive the Ten-Tails nor to become its jinchūriki, so there was no need for him to absorb all the tailed beasts. Absorbing even a portion of them would greatly enhance the power of the Gedo Mazo.
At this moment, Mi Shou laughed: "That makes things easier. We'll launch a surprise attack on Konoha, kill the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, and seize the Nine-Tails. Afterwards, we'll negotiate with Konoha to get the Nine-Tails back. If necessary, we'll win over the Sand Village ninja and show them a willingness to fight to the death. Finally, we'll apologize and offer some benefits, and Konoha will likely compromise."
Sasori, who had been silent all along, finally spoke up: "Whether Danzo's words are true or false, we must seize the initiative. Rather than waiting for others to attack us, we should attack others."
Seeing that everyone's opinions were gradually converging and they all wanted to cooperate with Danzo in attacking Konoha, Konan finally felt a little reluctant.
"Why don't we tell Konoha that we know their plans? If they see that we are prepared, they might not attack us."
After saying that, Xiao Nan herself felt it was impossible.
If Konoha wants to attack Amegakure, they will launch an attack eventually. If they are exposed this time, they will do it next time. If it doesn't work this year, they will do it next year. Amegakure can't be preparing for war every day.
Besides, you can't judge a book by its cover. If they don't trust Danzo, why would they easily believe the Hokage's words?
Ultimately, everyone reached a decision to cooperate with Danzo to kill the Jinchuriki and capture the Nine-Tails.
Yahiko also emphasized, "In this operation, you must obey my orders and not kill innocent people indiscriminately."
Yahiko also knew that his subordinates were ruthless and didn't care about human life, so he needed to strengthen their discipline.
No one objected.
When everyone was leaving, Daibutsu found Yahiko.
The Great Buddha is in charge of security for the Rain Ninja. He came here this time because he caught a spy.
"When the spy realized he had been exposed, he immediately committed suicide. However, he had gone to Danzo's residence to scout, but fortunately we discovered him in time and prevented him from sending out the intelligence."
This is a very serious problem. If Danzo's information is leaked, it could lead to unpredictable consequences.
With time running out, Yahiko could only discuss the plan with Danzo overnight, and Danzo disappeared into the night in the early hours of the next day.
Watching silently in the direction Danzo left, Mikami felt a slight sense of regret.
As expected of Danzo, in order to achieve his goal, he forced Yahiko to make a quick decision and directly sacrificed a Konoha spy.
This was just a guess, but Mi Shou felt it couldn't be wrong.
If possible, Yamori would like to win over the Akatsuki organization to eliminate Danzo, which would not only avenge Kyosuke but also increase Minato Namikaze's power.
The greater Minato Namikaze's power, the more benefits Kyosuke will receive.
In the dream, Mimori told Kyosuke about this. Kyosuke was also a little regretful, but still said, "Never mind, it's not bad for me to do it myself in the future."
Mikami then asked, "What about Kushina? Nagato's strength is extraordinary; you mustn't get killed by him."
Kyosuke rubbed his forehead with his right hand and said, "Let's do our best and leave the rest to fate. I will fulfill my duty as a guard."
Kiichiro laughed and said, "Oh, Kushina selflessly taught you all her sealing techniques, and you're so heartless."
Kyosuke closed his eyes slightly and said slowly, "She will live forever in my heart."
Seeing Kyosuke's resolute attitude, the others were relieved. Chisuke comforted him, saying, "That's good. I was afraid you would act impulsively. Now that I've become the Kazekage, we finally have some leverage. No matter what, you can't die."
