Crossover Anime: Plundering the Heavens and Building a Dimensional Empire

If you can't finish the meal, you might end up getting yourself into trouble, which would be a real problem, and more importantly, it could affect your position.

Rasa didn't want to jeopardize his position as Kazekage. Although he hated Konoha and was always thinking about a counterattack, his position had to be secured first. Otherwise, even if he succeeded in the counterattack, what would be the point if he lost his position as Kazekage?

Chapter 244 Is Uchiha Hakubaku really that difficult to deal with?

Rasa hesitated, but Onoki didn't hesitate at all and instead began to analyze things for Rasa one by one.

“The Land of Rivers is a buffer zone between you and Konoha, so you definitely can’t attack it. The Land of Rain has a strong military, especially with the existence of a mysterious organization there—the Akatsuki. It’s best not to provoke them now. Hanzo is difficult to deal with, and he’s getting old. The Land of Waterfalls is not adjacent to us, but it’s strong. The Land of Frost is too far away and not adjacent to us either, so none of them are suitable.”

"In that case, there's only the Bird Country left. Let's deal with the Bird Country first, so it will be easier for our two families to exchange goods, right?"

Is it the land of birds?

Upon hearing Onoki mention the Bird Country, Rasa undoubtedly realized what the Bird Country was all about, but it was indeed a good choice.

Compared to other small countries, the Bird Country is completely sandwiched between the Earth Country and the Wind Country. Even though the Rain Country is nearby, it doesn't have much of an impact, so it's a good place to make a move.

Luo Sha's expression was gloomy and uncertain. After thinking for a long time, he finally said, "You're right, this is indeed something we can do."

"So, are you going to agree or not?" Onoki was direct and didn't intend to waste words. Now that Iwagakure was being forced to pay Konoha 2 billion yen in compensation, they had to get that money.

The Bird Country naturally became the target, and there was a certainty of exploiting it. Moreover, the Bird Country had a good tourism industry and money to be made, so it was a place that could be exploited and plundered.

"How should the money be divided? And how should the land be occupied?" Luo Sha was determined to do it, but the key issue was the distribution of profits, and that was still the problem.

The issue of allocation.

“You know the situation in my Hidden Stone Village. We need to get money now, and I want 60%.” Onoki thought the price was reasonable; asking for 60% of the assets of the Land of Birds was already giving you a lot of face.

"Sixty percent?"

Upon hearing this, Luo Sha hesitated, clearly dissatisfied.

"What? You think this won't work?" Onoki sneered upon seeing this.

You think there's a problem with just 60%? Luo Sha, your greed far exceeds my imagination.

"It's not that it's impossible, but I think we can reduce it by another 10%. However, the research location must be close to the Bird Country, and the results must be given to me as soon as possible. Also, any finished products must be produced simultaneously. We can't be the ones who are more advanced and fall behind."

Luo Sha shook his head, denying the situation, and then stated his requirements.

That's not what I actually meant, please don't misunderstand.

To want so much for just one percent is truly greedy.

However, Onoki still believed that the other party was incredibly greedy, and that some things could not be synchronized. For example, the chakra cannon that the Hidden Cloud Village was secretly researching, do you think they would give them the latest technology?

Definitely not. There must be secrets hidden, so it's absurd for you to make this request of me.

Of course, Onoki wouldn't directly say no now; instead, he would go along with it.

"sure, no problem."

It is possible to agree.

Whether it can actually be done is another matter entirely.

Luo Sha was clearly aware of this, but there was really no way to counter it at the moment. All he could do was see if the people involved could secretly pass on the secrets.

In any case, since we need to select a group of outstanding talents, I can definitely put "Sha Zi" in there; it's an easy thing to do.

"Then it will be a pleasure to work together."

Luo Sha extended his hand, which meant he had no problem, and that this cooperation would proceed immediately.

"Okay, it's a pleasure to cooperate." Onoki extended his hand and shook hands with him. His heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally calmed down a little, but not completely.

……

Iwagakure and Sunagakure secretly contacted each other and then quickly attacked the Land of Birds. What could the Land of Birds, which had no military power, use to stop them?

Naturally, no force could stop the invasion of the two great powers.

In an instant, it vanished into thin air.

But this didn't cause much of a stir.

Because right now, the most prominent place is naturally the Land of Fire – Konoha Village.

You said the other villages are not attractive at all. Now the whole ninja world is paying attention to Konoha and what they will do next. Their actions against Iwagakure and the capture of the tailed beasts have already attracted close attention from the ninja world.

On the Akatsuki side, Nagato learned of what had happened in Iwagakure, along with news sent back by Obito Uchiha.

The three members of the organization, one dead and two injured, immediately flew into a rage.

Is Konoha really that powerful?

Uchiha Hakubaki...

Invincible?

No, only I am.

I am the god, what is Uchiha Hakumochi?

Nagato couldn't accept it, but that was the reality, and there was nothing he could do about it; that's just how things had happened. On the other hand, the changes in the Land of Birds made him even more resentful.

That's how domineering great powers are; they invade whenever they want, without any reason.

This naturally touched a nerve with him.

But is the problem a runaway train?

It's meaningless, completely meaningless.

Nagato was certainly angry, but he also learned to restrain himself and knew he should control himself and not go berserk.

"Regarding this matter, that so-called Uchiha Madara has concealed a lot of things, and it seems to be intentional. So, is there any news from Zetsu's side?"

"What about Kakuzu? When will he return? And what about Hiruko?"

These things need to be clarified.

So all Nagato could do was ask Konan about the situation.

"Kakuzu has recovered and is back to work, but Hiruko says he's doing research and needs to evolve or something, so he's just too busy. As for Zetsu..."

Konan first explained the situation of Kakuzu and the others, and then said, "They said that Madara Uchiha is preparing to take control of Kirigakure and unite with the other ninja villages to fight against Konoha."

"joint?"

Nagato was reluctant to speak after hearing this. He never expected to see a major power alliance. Onoki was trying to form an alliance, and now Madara Uchiha was trying to get Kirigakure to form one too. Did they lack confidence?

Is it really that strong?

Is Uchiha Hakubaki really that difficult to deal with?

Such trouble, wouldn't it affect the final plan... No, it already has. Apart from the Nine-Tails, the Two-Tails, Four-Tails, and Five-Tails have all been captured by Uchiha Hakumoku. Konoha now has four tailed beasts, which is almost half of them: the Eight-Tails, Seven-Tails, Six-Tails, Three-Tails, and One-Tails. Only the Six-Tails is missing because its jinchūriki became a rogue ninja. The rest are in their respective ninja villages, so doesn't that mean the other side can capture them at any time?

"This is very troublesome; the situation is extremely complicated."

Nagato realized how difficult the matter was, but at the same time he was curious about Obito's response. "Since it's Madara Uchiha, I wonder how you dealt with him?"

"Did Madara Uchiha say anything about the Tailed Beasts...?"

Chapter 245 Xiao Nan: Anyway, I don't believe it.

The tailed beast has been captured.

Don't you have any excuse?

Nagato, on the other hand, simply didn't believe it.

Xiao Nan replied, "Well, no, there really isn't."

"There isn't one?" Konan's words undoubtedly aroused Nagato's suspicion. Why didn't he take any action? Is this how Uchiha Madara is?

"I don't know, but the message from Zetsu's side is to try to participate in this alliance that Onoki is organizing, otherwise it will be difficult to get a share of the pie."

Xiao Nan didn't know, she could only say that she was passing on Jue's words.

In reality, she doesn't have many ambitions. When Yahiko is around, she listens to him; when he's not, she listens to Nagato. So, the current situation depends on how Nagato handles it.

"The Tsuchikage of Iwagakure orchestrated this to oppose Konoha, and Konoha is now the biggest threat, the root of which lies with Uchiha Hakubaku..."

Nagato murmured, "Dealing with Uchiha Hakubaku will be the key."

How to deal with Uchiha Hakumaki? This is Nagato's biggest problem right now.

At this rate, they haven't even started collecting the tailed beasts yet.

These tailed beasts are all in their hands now.

So, can this plan still proceed?

Upon hearing this, Konan became anxious and quickly said, "Nagato, I don't recommend that you do anything now. We can't expose ourselves. Since Zetsu's intention is to form an alliance, the Land of Rain can't remain uninvolved. Don't forget that they want to control Kirigakure. I'm not sure if they can do it, but since they're going to do it, let's see if it works."

Nagato sighed softly and said slowly, "Konan, is that guy Uchiha Madara or not?"

Madara Uchiha, real or fake?

Controlling Kirigakure...

That's quite a boast, but can it succeed? If it does, will it make him Uchiha Madara? Nagato was very doubtful, his mind filled with questions.

"do not know."

Xiao Nan shook her head in response.

She paused, then added, "But all I can say is that I don't believe it. Whether it works out or not, I suspect that guy might be Uchiha Madara."

Uchiha Madara?

I don't believe it, I just don't believe it.

"Regardless of whether it is true or not, this matter needs attention. Another thing is, what role do you think you should play in this joint effort before going..."

Nagato knew that things still needed attention, and also that the alliance was involved. In what capacity should he deal with Onoki and the others?

Konan continued, "What Zetsu means is that the organization has been exposed, and Onoki already knows the situation. There's no point in hiding it; they can just represent Amegakure as part of the Akatsuki organization."

Upon hearing this, Nagato sighed softly and said, "Three members were dispatched, one dead and two injured. It's really..."

He was helpless, truly helpless, but he quickly composed himself and continued to ask, "By the way, did Kakuzu say anything else?"
