Sunny and cheerful Konoha Genin

"Please calm down, Third Tsuchikage-sama."

The Iwagakure ninja who was responsible for helping the Third Tsuchikage to handle various matters was no longer surprised.

"How can I be calm?"

However, this time, Ohnoki was still furious.

"I have to send another 500 people! And I don't know if there are still 500 people there!"

"The one we are going to deal with next is that monster! The Third Raikage!"

"The guy who claims to have the strongest shield and the strongest spear!"

"In order to defeat him, I have prepared 1 men!"

"If we fail to defeat him just because of the shortfall of 500 people, then all our previous preparations will be in vain!"

Oonoki became angrier as he spoke, and his face turned redder at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Red and warm!

However, the Rock Ninja still looked unhurried and extremely calm.

"We have already discussed a solution to this problem."

He smiled slightly, a confident arc on the corner of his mouth, and then unfolded the folder in his hand.

"Please look at this, Tsuchikage-sama."

"This is……"

Ohnoki's eyes widened.

"The Akatsuki organization of the Rain Country? Why are you showing this to me? As far as I remember, isn't the Rain Country protected by that guy Hanzo of the Salamander?"

"The team changed not long ago. It is said that Pain of Akatsuki defeated Hanzo of the Salamander. The leader of this organization is called God."

"Pfft! Stop joking, hahahahaha!"

Ohnoki laughed loudly: "How dare anybody call himself a god these days?"

"Let's not talk about the real ninja god, Hashirama Senju, just that Uchiha Madara..."

His voice stopped abruptly.

Memories that I haven't thought about for a long time once again loom over my heart.

That condescending look, the incomparably powerful strength and aura, enveloped him like a huge shadow!

"That guy is truly as terrifying as a god."

Oonoki's voice became deeper.

It is precisely because of the indelible shadow left in his heart that he lives like this.

Compared with that giant who seemed to stand between heaven and earth, he felt like a bug that could be crushed to death at any time.

"That's not the point, Tsuchikage-sama."

Iwanin patiently turned the page.

"According to the intelligence we have collected, this Akatsuki organization is different from the previous Salamander Hanzo. They accept hired services from individuals or organizations, and the price will be adjusted according to the content of the task. The settlement will be made at the gold exchange, and the commission will be settled after the task is completed."

“Very reliable.”

"what?"

Ohnoki couldn't understand: "They have occupied a country, why are they still accepting jobs? How greedy they are!"

"That's not the case. The Akatsuki organization seems to be thinking about helping the people, so they didn't impose additional taxes. Instead, they distributed some food and subsidies. In order to ease the tight financial pressure, they chose to open up to the outside world." The Iwa Ninja said as he flipped a few pages:

"Please see, this is their previous employment record. They have completed several tasks perfectly before this, and their employers have given them very high evaluations."

“Is there really such a useful organization?”

Oono Kishita was truly surprised. He took it and looked at it carefully, his little eyes becoming brighter and brighter.

"That's great! Let's do it this way!"

"Send someone to contact them immediately and ask them to send someone to help us contain Konoha!"

"As long as the mission is completed, there will be great benefits!"

……

The Land of Rain, the reception room of Akatsuki.

"Let's take on Konoha?"

Yahiko and Konan looked at each other, both with strange expressions.

"Yes, we know that your organization is very capable, and you also need these, don't you?"

The Iwanin on the opposite side took out a black briefcase and slowly opened it in front of the two of them.

It was filled with silver, and even in this dark and dusty environment, it emitted a moving light.

"Our Lord Tsuchikage is very generous. If you are willing to agree, these silver coins can be paid to you as additional rewards first, and after you complete the task, there will be a real settlement."

There seemed to be some kind of temptation in his words, but the temptation on the table was even stronger, enough to shake anyone with a weak mind.

"Gulu."

Yahiko swallowed, took a deep breath, and his eyes became clear again.

"For this commission, we..."

"We took it!"

Scorpion, who was lazily lying on the sofa next to him, interrupted Yahiko when he was about to refuse.

???

Although Yahiko and Konan were both a little shocked and confused, they controlled their expressions well.

"Really? That's great!"

The Iwa Ninja on the opposite side didn't expect things to go so smoothly, and he immediately smiled.

"However, we need to sign some treaties in advance."

Scorpion stood up and walked over slowly.

"First of all, we are only responsible for containment and will never engage in direct combat."

"Yeah! Of course!"

The Iwagakure nodded with a harmless look on his face, but in his heart he was laughing at how naive you kids are, not knowing how fierce Konoha's attack is!

"Secondly, after the mission is completed, we want to go to the Iwagakure Village for a stroll."

"This... I can't make the decision. I have to discuss it with the Tsuchikage-sama. But considering his personality, if you're just taking a look around, of course there's no problem."

The Iwagakure was a little hesitant, but when he thought that these guys might not survive the war, he felt relieved.

"Well, I don't have any other requests here, what about you?"

Scorpion nodded in satisfaction, then looked at Yahiko and Konan.

"Neither did we."

"Then, happy working together."

The two parties, each with their own thoughts, shook hands and smiled.

……

Konoha Camp.

"So, this is your complete plan for the Battle of Kikyo Mountain?"

After listening to Toru Ito's explanation, Tsunade and Jiraiya remained silent. Even Orochimaru felt that this plan was too crazy and unbelievable.

"With all due respect, this is a bit risky."

He clenched and unclenched his fists, and finally shook his head: "Ito, I believe you, but if it is really as you said in your plan, the real target of the Rock Ninja is the Cloud Ninja, and a death battle between Kage-level strongmen and traps will break out between them."

"Then it will be hard for us to gain any benefit from it!"

"Not to mention the masters of the Cloud Ninja, all the strong men of the Rock Ninja will surely be dispatched by then!"

Orochimaru felt his scalp tingling just thinking about it: "It will be difficult for those who go there to escape unscathed!"

Not to mention his strength, even Sarutobi Hiruzen might not be able to escape unscathed there!

But Toru Ito wanted to intervene and threatened to teach the Rock and Cloud Ninjas a lesson they would never forget!

“Being able to get away with it.”

Ito Toru's eyes sparkled: "They may be strong, but——"

"I will let them see the horror of Konohagakure!"
