Naruto, the strongest Uchiha from signing in.

Chapter 167 3-year deadline

"Don't waste your energy any more. You are the village's Jinchūriki. You are absolutely not allowed to escape from Kirigakure without permission. Get ready. There will be a mission soon."

The Fourth Mizukage spoke in a calm tone, but the six Jinchūriki who were detained by the Anbu had deep eyes.

"How can you, who has been the Fourth Mizukage since the beginning, understand my feelings..."

"You cold-blooded man, how long are you going to watch the blood mist village, where those innocent children kill each other and create a bloody existence like Zabuza."

In an instant, everything was silent.

The Fourth Mizukage, Karutagi Yagura, was uncharacteristically cold and ruthless as he spoke silently.

"In order for Kirigakure to survive the bloody struggles between other ninja villages, it is necessary to train elite ninjas like the Seven Ninja Swordsmen."

"For someone who can't even pass the graduation exam, his death on the battlefield will be even more miserable. For the continuation of the Hidden Mist Village, I am willing to do anything, even if it means spending the rest of my life with monsters."

After saying that, Goju Yagura's eyes flickered and he subconsciously stroked his abdomen. The restless Three-Tails seemed to sense a familiar breath and became more dishonest.

"Let's go. Only those brats who have never experienced war will have a wrong understanding of the situation. Even with the power of the tailed beasts, it may not be able to protect the safety of the village."

The Kirigakure Anbu nodded slightly and rushed back to the Kirigakure Village with Bubble. Karitachi Yagura looked into the distance and saw the ninja hawk flying towards the Kirigakure.

.............

Akatsuki organization, secret contact point.

Phantoms appeared one after another, and many members of the Akatsuki organization gathered together.

"You called us here so urgently, is there something important? If not, I want to go back and continue the experiment. Now is a critical period..."

"This matter may interest you, Orochimaru."

Zetsu's eyes flickered and the corners of his mouth rose, which made Orochimaru thoughtful and subconsciously guessed the purpose of the leader calling them here this time.

After a long time, figures appeared one after another. After all six people were present, Nagato spoke.

"The main mission this time is Konoha. The client requires us, Akatsuki, to completely destroy Konoha. All members must be present."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone looked at Orochimaru and Uchiha Itachi with teasing expressions and subtlety in their eyes.

Orochimaru was once one of the three ninjas of Konoha and competed for the position of the Fourth Hokage. The current Third Hokage is his master.

As for Itachi, the last survivor of the Uchiha clan of Konoha, no one knew why he suddenly destroyed his own family, the famous Uchiha family of Konoha.

"To be honest, I'm not really interested in wars started by others. My experiment will take at least three years. If it has to be carried out in the near future, I won't be able to spare the time."

As Orochimaru finished speaking, he heard a sarcastic voice in his ear.

"Tsk, are you still attached to the Leaf Village, or are you reluctant to kill your teacher?"

"Oh? Scorpion of the Red Sand, do you think you are a match for the Third Hokage, or that monster who can challenge the Uchiha family?"

"You can't even beat my disciple, yet you're still bragging here. Your art is nothing more than this."

After some sarcasm, Fei Liuhu's eyes changed and he scolded harshly.

"What did you say?"

"Want to fight? That's perfect. How about I make you into a puppet of the Impure World Reincarnation as well?"

The two sides were on the verge of a fight, and everyone present was already accustomed to it. Nagato glanced around and spoke slowly.

"So far, the specific situation has not been discussed yet. This time the opponent is extremely powerful, so you must be prepared. Orochimaru..."

Hearing Nagato's voice, Orochimaru suppressed his murderous intent and revealed a sinister snake-like smile.

"Since you need time, I will give you time. In three years, you must be here, otherwise you will be considered a traitor to the organization and will be hunted down by all members of Akatsuki."

At the end of the meeting, Nagato glanced at Uchiha Itachi and disappeared on the spot.

Scorpion and others followed closely behind, and it was not until Orochimaru and Itachi were the only ones left that Itachi began to ask questions.

"No interest? Do you still have feelings for Konoha?"

"No, I just simply hate wars started by others. You should also take this opportunity to prepare yourself. Konoha is a tough nut to crack, especially..."

The figures gradually disappeared, leaving Itachi alone with a complicated expression. He never expected that in just a few months, he would get such crucial information.

Why didn't the leader of Akatsuki hide anything, but instead told everyone the information directly without even conducting the most basic trust assessment? What was going on?

Are there any other secrets hidden in this?

At the same time, in Tianzhiguo.

The Daimyo of Tianguo Kuni looked at the gold, silver and jewelry in front of him and almost drooled. He quickly nodded and agreed to Orochimaru's request.

It was just a matter of building a ninja village. These gold and silver treasures were enough for the Daimyo of the Land Country to squander for a while.

The Land of Rice is a small country in itself, and when it comes to the treatment of daimyo, it is certainly not as good as the daimyo of the other five major ninja countries.

But as a daimyo, one naturally needs to maintain the pomp and ceremony of a daimyo, and all of these require money to maintain.

It just so happened that the daimyo was preparing for a gathering recently, and at this time he met someone who came to give him money. How could the daimyo of Tanokuni miss this opportunity to show off in front of other daimyo?

Similarly, Orochimaru on the opposite side smiled without saying a word, but in his heart he was thinking about the experiment in his hand, and the raw threads became a little softer.

"Rinnegan, Sharingan, whatever eye technique it is, as long as my experiment is completely successful, even Uchiha Kagetsu, my amazing disciple, will definitely not be my opponent!"

A wet and slippery purple tongue licked the corner of his lips quietly, and Orochimaru turned and left. At some point, a few purple scrolls with intricate patterns appeared in his sleeves.

"One, two, three... count the Kumogakure, Sandagakure, Mistagakure, and Iwagakure... the Samsara Eye, the Mangekyō Sharingan, all the ninjutsu, secret techniques, and forbidden techniques in the world, and eternal life, all of them are mine, hehe..."

In the ninja world, beneath the apparent peace among the five nations, undercurrents are gradually surging, and a conspiracy against Konoha is quietly spreading its web, embellishing the stage that has not yet begun.

...............

In Konoha Village, in the Hokage's office.

Sarutobi Hiruzen glanced at the list in front of him and became more and more frightened and worried.

"Orochimaru, the owner of the Rinnegan, Scorpion of the Red Sand, who once fought with the first Hokage and brought the Takigakure Village to its knees, the mysterious scout ninja..."

"Who is it, which force among the five great nations would actually invite such a being to target Konoha, or...?"

For a moment, Sarutobi Hiruzen was also at a loss. As Konoha was the most powerful village among the five major countries, it naturally had countless enemies.

"I never thought that one day I would be relied upon as a threat. I am really getting old! Uchiha Kagetsu, can I trust you?"
