The old devil Konoha wants to be a good person

"Did Shiro definitely collect information about the Five-Tailed Jinchuuriki? This time, I will personally take action. After catching him, I will break the seal in Iwagakure Village."

Payne's words obviously silenced the atmosphere in the venue. Xiaonan hesitated to speak, but Obito suddenly laughed out loud after the silence and uttered two words: "Awesome."

This guy Nagato has also grown up.

However, this does not hinder my plan.

Obito thought silently and said to himself:

"If Iwagakure experiences a tailed beast uprising and the rear is on fire, the front will naturally have no fighting spirit. No matter how much Ohnoki wants to take revenge, under such circumstances, he will inevitably retreat."

"In this way, the crisis in the Kingdom of Work will be resolved."

Seeing that Obito had no objection, Payne calmly nodded and said: "Since there is no objection, let's do this. Iwagakure will send the Junan team to connect, and I will start to make preparations."

Obito chuckled lightly, activated his divine power, and his figure gradually disappeared in the whirlpool of space. He left a final sentence: "I only have one suggestion, and that is to hide your identity."

This is the key among the keys. Needless to say, after Obito left, Pain whispered to Konan: "I don't think Madara's purpose is pure, at least not what he said on the surface."

After such a conversation, Xiaonan also noticed some details and replied: "He probably doesn't want to be the enemy of the blood owl, but he also wants Xiao to get involved in the war. This..."

"What is it for?"

At first glance, it seems contradictory, but if you think about it carefully...

Pain closed his eyes slightly and said slowly: "With Akatsuki's participation, the scale of the war will expand, and the situation in the Kingdom of Work will become even more chaotic. I'm afraid Madara's plan is based on this chaos, right?"

"What about it?"

"I do not know either."

The two did not stay on this topic for long. Konan quickly asked Pain what he thought. Using tailed beasts to create terrorist attacks was not a big deal? This was the case with the Nine-Tails Rebellion in Konoha.

The point is? Why did Payne do this?Even if Akatsuki and Blood Owl are allies, to this extent? Isn't it too incredible?

It is necessary to both hide the identity and release the tailed beast. Even with the power of the Rinnegan, it is very difficult to do both at the same time. Once exposed, the cooperation with Iwagakure will be completely over.

Even the Kingdom of Rain will face war.

The risk Xiao takes is very high.

It doesn't seem worth it just to make a statement to the blood owl.

Payne explained: "The Country of Work is like the Country of Rain. They are both small countries. They have also been bullied by big countries. This makes me feel some compassion."

"That's it?" Xiaonan didn't believe it.

"The Blood Owl is a loyal customer of Akatsuki."

"Nagato, just tell the truth."

Faced with Xiaonan's tireless questions, Payne finally lost the battle and revealed his true thoughts, although? He didn't even think about how to hide it.

"A guy like Blood Owl would fight to protect others, to be honest? I'm very surprised." There was a strange fluctuation in Payne's eyes, and his tone was full of expectation:

"There is no doubt that the country of work is very important to the blood owl. He even suppresses himself and seeks peace for that small country. This makes me puzzled and curious."

Xiaonan seemed to understand: "Then what?"

"Then……"

Payne said thoughtfully: "When I have time, I will go to the country of work to see it in person. That country may bring me some unexpected gains."

------------

More than a month has passed since the Battle of Poison Mist Valley ended.

Linru sat quietly on the chair, his eyelids were slightly closed, his head was lowered, and his hands were placed in front of his forehead. He seemed to be sleeping or thinking about some issues.

In the empty room, incandescent lamps illuminate the environment brightly. There is no furniture around, only a stone as big as a football is suspended in the air, suspended in front of Linru.

The surface of the stone is full of pits, and the whole body exudes a lavender light. If a ninja gets closer and feels it, he can detect the chakra hidden inside.

A kind of chakra full of darkness, danger, and ominous atmosphere.

This is the "star" that has been passed down for a long time in Hoshiyin Village. Star ninjas use it to practice a secret technique called Peacock Magic. However, this tradition has been abolished since the War of Thieves.

The new top management of the Kingdom of Works, headed by Linru, nationalized the "Star" and in recent years has continued to send talents from all walks of life to study it in an attempt to explore its essence.

Linru has always suspected that the "star" comes from outside the sky and is related to the ten-tailed body, but so far, there is no clear evidence to prove his guess.

Today, after facing two major enemies, Iwagakure and Sunagakure, Linru felt that he needed stronger power to prevent the situation from deteriorating further.

So, he sat here.

The purpose is to control the "star" and turn it into his own power.

Boom, boom, boom.

Linru opened his eyes slightly and said in a deep voice: "Come in."

Hayato pushed the door open and walked in. He glanced at Xing first, and then said to Lin Ru: "More than 1 ninjas have gathered in Iwagakure Village. Depending on the situation, they will arrive in our country soon."

"Oh."

Linru's reaction was a little cold. He had expected today's situation from the moment he killed Huang Tu with his own hands, but he had no regrets at all.

If he were given a choice again, he would still kill the hateful invader.

Even if the other person is Tsuchikage's son.

Hayato seemed to read something from Linru's reaction, and added: "Counting the time, Jiraiya should have returned to Konoha."

"and then?"

Linru turned his head this time, stared at Hayato with an evil look and said, "Don't tell me that Konoha didn't react at all."

"The truth is..."

Hayato breathed a sigh of relief and said calmly: "They really didn't respond at all, as if they ignored our request."

The environment was quiet for a while. Linru frowned and didn't know what he was thinking. After a while, he stood up, put the star in his arms and walked towards the door.

"Are you going to kill Onoki? As a blood owl?"

Hearing Hayato's question, Linru's steps did not stop at all. When he passed by the other party, he casually replied:

"Onoki is the most troublesome person among the Five Kages. Even if I attack with all my strength, I'm not sure I can kill that old guy, but it's okay to cause some trouble for the troops assembled by Iwagakure."

"For example, turning an army of [-] into an army of [-] ninjas or something."

Hayato seemed to have anticipated Linru's answer, and said softly: "In that case, many people will die again, which I'm afraid is not what you want."

"I don't care anymore."

Hayato looked at Linru's leaving figure and sighed inconspicuously: "This trouble started because of me. Linru, I'm really not suitable to manage a country. You'd better find someone reliable as soon as possible... "

Linru looked back at him and grinned: "Among the people I trust, you and Liu Sheng are the only ones who can take on important responsibilities. If you don't take it, why don't you let Liu Sheng take it?"

Thinking of that possibility, Linru shook his head dumbfounded: "You don't have to blame yourself. I was too naive. I even thought about being a good person. How ridiculous is it to think about it now?"

Hayato was about to speak but stopped, but Linru didn't speak anymore and left in an instant.

Unlike [Linru] and [Raizou Saito], [Blood Owl] doesn't need any teammates when he takes action. As long as he has a target, he can turn the world upside down at any time.
