Chapter 338
"I still have my own things to do, and I don't plan to commit myself to the organization completely!"
Pain said in a deep voice: "Since you belong to the organization 'Akatsuki', you should work together to achieve your goals. When Akatsuki's goals are achieved, your personal goals will also be achieved."
"Indeed! Akatsuki's current goal is indeed to collect tailed beasts and make money, but Akatsuki's fundamental goal is not this. For that goal, you must have a lot of money."
As he said, Pain described his plan in detail and what Akatsuki would do next.
Establish an organization in the ninja world that is specifically responsible for war.
Compared with big countries with powerful ninja villages, ninja employment business accounts for a large proportion of their national income. Ninja villages earn huge wealth by participating in domestic and foreign wars, and even become the country's economic pillar.
Even in today's relatively peaceful era, the commissioned tasks of the five major ninja countries can still earn a lot of money.
However, small countries can't do that.
Without strong enough ninjas and not enough prestige, small ninja villages often find it difficult to survive in peacetime.
In order to earn enough funds, some small ninja villages even take the initiative to provoke wars.
This is where Karin's tragedy comes from.
When the big countries ceased fighting and the ninja world became relatively peaceful, many people no longer needed the protection of ninjas. For small villages like Kusagakure, the number of mission commissions would be greatly reduced.
In order for the village to obtain enough mission commissions, they had to stir up chaos in the ninja world.
Pain wanted to use the tailed beasts in the war, and even use the power of the tailed beasts to dominate the war. In this way, the ninja village system of the big countries would collapse.
When the world was in chaos, Pain continued to use the power of the tailed beasts to conquer the world.
It has to be said that even Hinata standing here would find it very reasonable after hearing Pain's analysis.
The economy of ninja villages during wartime is often the most prosperous.
Because the rich people in wartime can only live a stable life in troubled times by hiring ninjas to protect themselves.
In peacetime, except for a few big ninja villages such as Konoha and Kumogakure, most ninja villages are unable to make ends meet, and even have to rely on the country's finances to barely maintain the scale of the ninja village.
Like the Sand Village, they even had to take the initiative to reduce the number of ninjas to reduce the village's expenses.
However, Orochimaru disdained Pein's ideas. Even Orochimaru three years ago would not think that Pein's plan had any chance of success.
After a fierce analysis, he saw the record of 0-9.
For the economy of the ninja village, war can indeed promote economic prosperity. Even Konoha, which always claims to love peace, has profited from the war.
The ninja war is not a large-scale military war, but mainly assassination and destruction, which can pose a great threat to the civilians of a country.
However, the world is war-weary, even the ninjas themselves do not want war.
Because of this, the ninja world has been peaceful for so many years after the end of the Third World War, and the major ninja villages will also maintain relative restraint.
The world is progressing, and the ideas of ninjas are also progressing, but Pein's ideas have always remained in the period of the Second and Third World Wars.
Pein wants to provoke a war and dominate the war.
However, this war is a war between Pein and the whole world.
In Orochimaru's view, Pein is just a fool who doesn't understand the current era, doesn't understand the ninja's thoughts, and calls himself a "god".
After planning the collapse of Konoha, Orochimaru has already seen this.
In contrast, Orochimaru admires Hinata's willingness to stay in Konoha.
After cleaning up Danzo, Hinata's power is both a constraint on Konoha, but also a pillar of Konoha. Even if the Hokage family is afraid of the increasingly powerful Hyuga clan, Konoha still needs Hinata's power to stabilize the situation.
Leaving Konoha and setting up a business on your own is not as good as being relied on by Konoha, which is more beneficial.
With a sneer, Orochimaru turned his head to look at Obito standing beside him, but found that Obito's right eye under the mask was also staring at him.
The right eye of the orange mask was dark, but even if he couldn't see anything there, Orochimaru still felt Obito's strong killing intention towards him.
"Hehe..."
With a chuckle, Orochimaru showed a hint of provocation in his eyes.
Uchiha... Obito!
When Kakashi can use the power of the Mangekyō at will, your identity can no longer withstand scrutiny.
What will you do next?
Chapter 526 Have any of you considered the opinion of the Three-Tails?
‘Ding Dong——’
The doorbell rang softly, Hinata stood at the door with her arms folded and waited for a moment, the wooden door was pushed open from the inside, Naruto had a messy head of hair like a chicken coop, sleepy eyes, and a bucket of steaming instant noodles in his hand.
“Hey——”
“Hey you! Why do you eat this as soon as you get up?”
“Hinata, don’t you have a mission today? You come to me so early... Is there something wrong?”
“… It’s already noon!”
It has been two days since Naruto cultivated the Rasenshuriken. The new trick is very powerful, but for Naruto, who has poor chakra control, the Rasenshuriken is still a forbidden move.
The Rasenshuriken that cannot be thrown out is like the Seven Wounds Fist, which hurts the enemy and hurts himself at the same time.
Hinata was thinking about her little feet, with a bit of annoyance on her face: "Don't talk about it now, go wash your face and change clothes. I'll be waiting for you here."
Naruto was a little excited when he heard this and blurted out: "Hey? Is this a date?"
"Fool!"
Hinata said angrily: "It's Tsunade-sama who wants to see us!"
Hokage Tower.
"too slow!"
Tsunade stood by the window, folded her arms, turned around and complained to Jiraiya: "Why are you so slow! What are you doing!"
'squeak--'
The door of the office was opened, and Hinata and Naruto walked in side by side: "Huh? The lustful immortal is here too?"
Jiraiya smiled and said, "It's been a while, Naruto."
Hinata breathed a sigh of relief and asked doubtfully: "Uh, is there any mission for asking us to come together?"
"yes!"
Tsunade turned around and said in a solemn tone: "According to the latest information we obtained, the location of the Three-Tails has been found, and..."
"This time it's not just Akatsuki who took action, Sasuke was also seen nearby."
Naruto was stunned when he heard this, and murmured: "Sasuke..."
Jiraiya answered: "It's true, the source of the information this time is very reliable!"
Tsunade continued: "Sasuke's purpose is to take revenge on Uchiha Itachi. If Sasuke appears there, it means that the people who organized this operation are Uchiha Itachi and Inogaki Kisame!"
"Why?"
Hinata scratched her head, feeling like something was wrong.
In fact, Hinata knew this information earlier than Tsunade. The people Akatsuki sent to capture the Three-Tails were Itachi Uchiha and Kisame Inakisaki. Sasuke also got information about Itachi and appeared near the area where the three tails were active.
But the Akatsuki organization is determined to win the tailed beast.
Comparing the apparent strength, the probability of the Akatsuki organization getting the three tails is very low. Especially since the Three-Tails are still in a wild state, it is not that easy to take away the Three-Tails.
In addition, Hinata has informed Black Zetsu that Konoha has been investigating the whereabouts of the Three-Tails, and may also participate in the battle for the Three-Tails.
Konoha's participation in the war means that Hinata's participation in the war, Uchiha Itachi and Inigaki Kisame alone... are almost enough to die.
"What's wrong, Hinata?"
Seeing Hinata's wandering look, Tsunade asked curiously: "Did you think of something?"
"No"
Hinata shook her head and then asked: "What should we do with the three tails?"
"Although the Three-Tails is originally the tailed beast of Kirigakure Village, and the Jinchuriki can also increase the village's combat power, it should be difficult for Kirigakure Village to protect the Three-Tails, right?"
"unless……"
From Konoha's standpoint, since the three-tails are now in a wild state, the best way to deal with them is to kill them.
As long as the three tails die, the Akatsuki organization's plans will be delayed for at least ten years.
Tsunade and Jiraiya looked at each other and said solemnly: "I know what you mean. This is what we originally planned..."
"But Kirigakure doesn't agree with this."
Hinata asked in surprise: "Does Kirigakure also want to participate in the fight for the three tails?"
"kindness!"
Tsunade nodded and said: "Kirigakure and our goals are the same, and they both regard Akatsuki as their enemy. The information about Akatsuki... we currently share!"
After a pause, Tsunade frowned and said, "For a ninja village, many things cannot be decided by a shadow."
"Some ninjas in Kirigakure believe that in today's troubled times, the Three-Tails can increase the power of Kirigakure Village and better protect the village..."
Hinata curled her lips: "Okay!"
If this is the case, it is certain that the three tails will fall into the hands of the Akatsuki organization.
The current situation of Kirigakure Village is slightly better than that of Sand Hidden Village. The only ninja who can support the overall situation is Terumi Mei. In last year's battle for the "Old Earth Reincarnation", Kirigakure Village also suffered some losses, and even Aoya died in the hands of Orochimaru.
After thinking for a while, Hinata continued to ask: "What about us in Konoha? Assist Kirigakure in capturing the Three-Tails?"
Tsunade nodded and said: "In order to stabilize the international situation, we in Konoha can only assist Kirigakure."
Have you considered Sanwei's opinion?
Hearing what Tsunade said, Hinata felt relieved.
Now that the three tails are fine, the most important thing for Hinata right now is to assist Sasuke in opening the kaleidoscope.
"I understand, when will we set off?" Hinata asked.
Tsunade said loudly: "Without further ado, you should go back and prepare immediately. We will gather at the gate of Konoha in an hour."
Hinata hesitated: "Uh... Is it just me and Naruto?"
"And I!"
Jiraiya coughed lightly and said, "This time the stakes are very important. The actions of the Akatsuki organization may not be that simple, so I will go with you."
"Very good!"
Naruto clenched his hands into fists and said excitedly: "If the lustful immortal is with us, this mission will be no problem!"
Back at Hinata's house, Hinata packed up her ninja equipment, turned on the vision sharing of the reincarnated eye to connect to the artificial satellite, and found the location of Uchiha Itachi.
Seeing that Kisame was not around, Hinata quickly said: "Brother Itachi, Konoha sent me, Jiraiya, and Naruto to assist Kirigakure Village in capturing the Three-Tails. What are your Akatsuki organization going to do?"
"is that so?"
Uchiha Itachi said calmly: "Akatsuki only sent me and Kisame..."
After a pause, Uchiha Itachi was also a little suspicious and said: "But Akatsuki has long known that Konoha is investigating the three-tailed beast... and once Konoha finds the trace of the three-tailed beast, Konoha will definitely send you to act!"
"It is definitely not a wise move to rob the tailed beast head-on!"
Hinata hesitated and guessed: "Brother Itachi, I just heard from the fifth generation that the Hidden Mist Village plans to re-seal the three-tailed beast... The masked guy once used the Sharingan to control the fourth generation of Mizukage, maybe he still has some power in the Hidden Mist Village."
Uchiha Itachi said in a deep voice: "It is possible!"
"And with the current international situation, Konoha cannot refuse the proposal of the Hidden Mist Village."
Hinata was slightly relieved after hearing this, and said: "There is one more thing...Brother Itachi, I heard that Sasuke also appeared near the three-tailed beast, are you... ready?"
Chapter 527 Hinata and Jiraiya actually...
Uchiha Itachi was silent.
