Naruto: The Strongest Sage.

Uchiha Itachi has begun to implement the plan given to him by Aoba to split the Akatsuki organization.

After all, without Nagato's suppression, this group of dangerous rebels would inevitably split up. What Itachi had to do was to control this split within a certain range.

According to Aoba's plan, Uchiha Itachi would split the clan and win over some of the rebel ninjas. After that, he would transfer the power to Shin.

In fact, Shin's strength is sufficient. It's just that he has been in Akatsuki for too short a time and his reputation is not enough. So Uchiha Itachi is needed to make the transition.

Although Itachi doesn't talk much in Akatsuki, his strength is there, and his seniority and reputation are actually not low.

The main reason is that the remaining few people, although they are very strong, but looking at the members, Sasori, Deidara, Hoshigaki Kisame, Shin, and Obito, none of them are the kind of leadership talents.

Uchiha Itachi doesn't really count, but he's barely related.

After some simple lobbying, Itachi easily convinced the above people to form a new Akatsuki organization.

As for the angle, he chose to stay in the Rain Village and help Konan stabilize the situation in the Rain Village. I can only say that Kakuzu is actually a very interesting person. It's a pity that he died a little hastily in the original plot. I couldn't elaborate on it.

There are many reasons why he didn't leave. One is that Kakuzu was not a traitor in the traditional sense. In fact, it was the village that betrayed him. Kakuzu actually always wanted a goal that could make him realize his own value.

In his long career as a bounty hunter, he chose money as his human coordinate. After joining the Akatsuki organization, he has been responsible for raising funds for the organization. Unknowingly, he has invested too much in the Akatsuki organization and the Rain Village.

Leaving at this time, the sunk cost is too high. In addition, the Rain Village is different from his previous ninja villages. Xiaonan really regards him as a companion.

Kakuzu didn't say it, but in his heart he had already accepted this ninja village.

As for Beiluo, he actually felt a little regretful because the time he spent in the Rain Village was the most relaxing time for him.

The Rain Village did its best to provide him with research resources, allowing him to complete the Kisara no Yai.

However, after he learned that the leader of Akatsuki had lost the Rinnegan, he finally wavered.

Unlike Kakuzu who was a forced traitor, Hiruzen is a real egoist.

He used to worship and be loyal to Nagato because Nagato had the Eye of God and was the closest person to God in the world. But after Nagato lost his Samsara Eye, he immediately withdrew his loyalty.

The main focus is on flexible allegiance.

In fact, he originally didn't think much of Uchiha Itachi and his group. The main reason was that these people followed a different path from him and were of little help to his research.

But he knew that he was still carrying Konoha's wanted warrant. Konoha today was no longer the peace-loving Konoha it once was.

If he showed his hand to any ninja village now, the opponent's first thought would definitely be to capture him and hand him over to Konoha.

In this way, staying with this group of rebel ninjas with good combat capabilities can be considered as a guarantee for one's own safety.

There are only six members in the New Akatsuki organization, but their fighting power is not weak. With the help of Uchiha Itachi's intelligence, they successfully locked the whereabouts of Uchiha Obito.

“The fact that the previous leader lost the Samsara Eye shows that he is not a true god. It also tells us that the God’s Eye itself has no position. As long as we are strong enough, we can also control it.

By taking back the Rinnegan, we can launch the Moon Eye Project ourselves and accomplish the real goal of the Akatsuki organization."

Itachi's statement was still very attractive. Even this group of not-so-normal Akatsuki members coveted the legendary Eye of God.

After all, the reason why everyone present joined the Akatsuki organization was essentially because they were intimidated by the power of the Rinnegan.

If one could control this kind of power, no one would refuse it.

All members of the Akatsuki organization were dispatched, and Konoha also responded accordingly.

"The primary targets of this battle are Uchiha Sasuke and Uchiha Itachi. So after the battle begins, we will create a one-on-one environment for Sasuke to fight Uchiha Itachi.

As for the remaining people, although they are all traitors, they all have their own value. So, try to keep them alive."

The few people left in the Akatsuki organization. Sasori is the ceiling of puppetry in the world, Deidara is the ceiling of blasting ninjutsu, and Obiru is the ceiling of bloodline limit research.

Each of them is a rare talent. Even the honest Kisame is a special ninja who can fuse with Samehada.

Konoha is in a period of rapid development. And development requires accumulation. Not only population, but also ninjutsu, secret techniques, scientific research and technology all require a lot of accumulation.

Although Aoba used his foresight to lay the foundation for Konoha, the plot has now completely collapsed. He has lost the plot advantage. Therefore, he can only use traditional methods to increase Konoha's foundation.

In fact, he was not the only one who did this. Uchiha Madara did the same. This guy annexed the Kumogakure not long ago, and also added various backgrounds to the Kirigakure.

In a sense, Kirigakure and Konoha are now engaged in an all-out arms race.

The level of this mission is considered very high. Although the current combat power of the few people in the Akatsuki organization is nothing to Konoha.

But the significance behind this mission is extremely huge. Therefore, Qingye cannot help but take it seriously. So much so that he will lead the team himself.

Tsunade noticed Aoba's nervousness. As her lover, Tsunade knew her lover too well.

No matter what he did, he always looked confident and confident. It seemed that nothing could stump him.

The reason why he can be the Hokage so comfortably is because of Aoba's ability.

"According to your current strength, the difficulty of this mission should not be as low as you think. But you have some hidden concerns in your heart. Qingye, what are you worried about?"

Tsunade's question brought Aoba, who was a little distracted, back to consciousness.

"In short, I am trying to train Sasuke. He has now opened his Mangekyō, and his pupil power is very strong. And there are no hidden dangers in his body. It can be said that it was a perfect eye opening.

According to the plan, he will soon obtain Uchiha Itachi's Mangekyō. Then he will achieve the Eternal Mangekyō. In this way, he will get a chance. "

Tsunade immediately understood what Aoba meant.

"You want to try to cultivate a new pair of Rinnegan in Sasuke?"

"Yes."

"I don't understand. There's nothing to worry about. Uchiha Madara succeeded. According to what you said, Sasuke is also the reincarnation of Indra. It's entirely possible that he will succeed. Even if he fails, it should be within your expectations, right?"

"No, according to my plan, I am at least 70% sure that I can make Sasuke awaken the Samsara Eye. What I am afraid of is not that I can't do it, but that it doesn't want me to do it."
