Apart from providing some humanitarian assistance to the Hidden Mist Village, the rest of the people just hid aside and watched the fun, wishing that the Hidden Mist Village could be transformed from a "hidden village" into a "ninja village".
In this regard, Hatake Akira also sat back and watched the changing situation in the ninja world quietly.
But Hatake Akira had to admit that the Hidden Mist Village still had some tough guys. Even though the Hidden Mist Village was severely damaged by the attack of the Akatsuki organization, they had no intention of asking for help from the outside world.
"If you don't want to ask for help, then don't ask for help. Wait for a while and I'll see what you're going to do."
Hatake Akira saw it very clearly that as long as Uchiha Obito increased his strength, it was only a matter of time before the Hidden Mist Village would collapse.
Although all members of the Akatsuki organization are at a great disadvantage in terms of numbers, wars in the ninja world have always been about top combat power, never about the number of people.
For a powerful Kage-level fighter, it is not difficult to wipe out an army of hundreds or even thousands of Genin and Chunin as long as he is given time.
Of course, this Kage-level player must have a lot of chakra and must also have large-scale destructive ninjutsu like the "map cannon".
But just based on this point, the members of the Akatsuki organization led by Uchiha Obito basically meet this requirement.
There is no need to talk about Uchiha Obito himself. As long as Hatake Akira does not take action, there is almost no one in the ninja world who can do anything to him.
Even if there was, it would be no problem for Uchiha Obito to escape.
In addition to Uchiha Obito, there are Hoshigaki Kisame, Sasori, Uchiha Shisui, Kaguya Kimimaro, Konan, and several clones sent by Orochimaru, they are also capable of standing on their own.
With so many super-kage-level, kage-level, and quasi-kage-level fighters, coupled with Uchiha Obito's elusive Kamui eye technique, the Hidden Mist Village had no way to deal with it for a while.
And just when Uchiha Obito was attacking the Hidden Mist Village, Jiraiya, who was practicing fairy arts in the Ryuchi Cave, was brought back by Hatake Akira.
With the help of Hatake Akira and the help of the White Snake Immortal, Jiraiya can be said to have become a true "immortal".
But it’s not the Toad Immortal from Myoboku Mountain, but the White Phosphorus Snake Immortal from Ryuchi Cave…
Not only that, after practicing the Ryuchidong Senjutsu, Jiraiya's temperament also changed significantly.
When he met Jiraiya in the past, Hatake Akira always felt a kind of vulgar aura from him, but now, Jiraiya no longer had that vulgar aura and instead had a bit more coldness.
It makes me feel more stable all of a sudden...
Yes, it's steady.
Because of Jiraiya's own personality, he always seems unreliable in the eyes of outsiders, but Ryuchido's magic has reversed this situation to a certain extent.
Hatake Akira couldn't help but think more, if Tsunade saw Jiraiya in his current state, would she feel a second spring in her life?
With a light chuckle, Hatake Akira no longer focused on the relationship between the two, but began to think again about the top combat power that Konoha possessed.
After Jiraiya mastered the senjutsu, Tsunade was the only one among the three ninjas who had not yet mastered the senjutsu.
Although Orochimaru does not have the talent to practice fairy arts, he has a variety of skills, and his cloning technology is even more perfect.
Hatake knew early on that Orochimaru had prepared a perfect body for him. Not only did he possess a strong physique and bloodline limit, but he also had a high affinity for natural energy.
Therefore, Hatake Akira will not worry about Orochimaru, and the only one left is the woman Tsunade.
How to say it, Tsunade is a very stubborn person. There is a shortcut but she insists on taking a detour because of her personal preference, which gives Hatake Akira a headache.
However, after repeated persuasion failed, Hatake Akira stopped caring about it. He thought that Tsunade might be able to successfully learn the magic from Shikotsu.
Leaving Tsunade aside, the combat power that Konoha currently possesses is already quite terrifying.
Of course, according to Akira Hatake's standards, only the combat power that can compete with the Tengai Otsutsuki clan can be considered top-level combat power.
First of all, there is no need to talk about Hatake Akira himself, he is definitely the one who charges forward.
Kakashi, Minato Namikaze, Jiraiya, Might Guy, and Orochimaru, these five people can also use fairy techniques to fight against the Tengai Otsutsuki clan under the copying of Hatake Akira.
"Ha, when the time is right, we will make the Otsutsuki clan pay the price!"
Hatake Akira was in a good mood and couldn't help but take a look at the huge sealed scroll behind him. In addition to many mall equipment, there were also seeds of the sacred tree.
"When the time comes, I will ask you to make a sacrifice, and I will plant the seeds of this sacred tree in your ancestral land!"
After obtaining the seed of the sacred tree, the first thing that Akira Hatake thought of was to plant the sacred tree on the planet where the Otsutsuki clan lived.
It doesn't make sense that if the Otsutsuki clan went to someone else's planet to plant the sacred tree, they couldn't let others plant it back!
Thinking of this, Hatake Akira curled up the corners of his mouth. After chatting with Jiraiya for a few words, he turned and walked towards the Hokage Building.
Otsutsuki Isshiki, who was plotted against by Otsutsuki Kaguya, is a very good sacrifice target.
"Ha, if I can be sacrificed once, I can be sacrificed a second time and countless times, Otsutsuki Isshiki, just wait for me."
Hatake Akira's heart was full of evil thoughts towards Ōtsutsuki Isshiki, and he had no burden at all.
When he arrived at the Hokage's office, the first thing Akira saw was Nara Shikaku who was busy working.
"Ming, you finally decided to come over here..."
Nara Shikaku looked up, his face full of fatigue. Ever since Uchiha Obito began to implement the "Ninja World Unification" plan, Nara Shikaku has been busier day by day.
Since the Akatsuki organization is now backed by Konohagakure Village, there is no reason for Konohagakure Village to stay out of it.
As for some necessary support, Akira Hatake was too lazy to provide it, so he had to leave it to Nara Shikaku.
Now, some daily government affairs plus some matters of the Akatsuki organization have kept Nara Shikaku busy for almost a week.
If it weren't for the ninja's good physical fitness, Hatake Akira would have worried that Nara Shikaku would have died suddenly...
"Haha, Shikaku, you've been working hard lately."
Hatake Akira laughed it off, then went straight to the point, "Shikaku, we can put the investigation of the Kara organization on the agenda."
"Ming, didn't you say that the Shell Organization is very dangerous?"
Nara Shikaku scratched his head, "You gave a death order before..."
"I am not changing my order overnight. Ordinary ninjas are still not allowed to participate in the investigation of the Kara organization."
Hatake Akira turned serious, "I mean to let Master Jiraiya investigate the affairs of the Kara organization."
"Jiraiya-sama?"
Nara Shikaku thought for a moment, "Ming, has Lord Jiraiya already mastered the celestial art?"
"Of course, and it's the Perfect Sage Mode."
Hatake Akira nodded, "With the Perfect Sage Mode and Master's already powerful skills, I believe he can do it."
"And this is just an investigation. We are not going to take action against the Kara organization right now. It won't be too late to take action until Master Jiraiya gets the information about the members of the Kara organization."
"This can be considered as preparing for a rainy day. After all, it's an organization that has existed for thousands of years, and it's not easy to figure out their intelligence overnight."
After Hatake Akira finished speaking, Nara Shikaku nodded and then drafted a document.
"Ming, take a look."
Nara Shikaku handed over the document, and Hatake Akira glanced at it and signed it.
Chapter 345: The final step to unify the ninja world: "The Divine Right of Kings"! (Happy New Year!)
After Jiraiya learned the fairy arts, Hatake Akira felt more at ease with him.
However, before Jiraiya left, Hatake Akira still gave him some instructions, telling him to run away quickly if the situation got bad.
In response, Jiraiya smiled silently and nodded to indicate that he understood.
Before Jiraiya left, Hatake Akira had already explained to him the pros and cons of the Kara organization, and also told Jiraiya about Jigen and Ōtsutsuki Isshiki.
Although Jiraiya didn't quite believe it, seeing that Hatake Akira said it seriously, he had already taken the matter to heart.
After weighing the Flying Thunder God Kunai in his hand, Jiraiya waved goodbye to Hatake Akira at the entrance of the village.
The function of the Flying Thunder God Kunai is to transmit signals. Once Jiraiya is in danger, Hatake Akira can sense Jiraiya's position through the Flying Thunder God Kunai, and then use his spatial ability to quickly provide support.
After seeing Jiraiya off, Hatake Akira could finally relax. The only thing he needed to worry about now was the plan to unify the ninja world.
However, the people in charge of this plan are Uchiha Obito and Nara Shikaku. Hatake Akira only needs to grasp the general direction and he does not need to worry about the rest of the details.
After leisurely spending several days in the village, Hatake Akira finally couldn't sit still anymore.
Before Namikaze Minato became the Fourth Hokage, at the instigation of Hatake Akira, Hatake Sakumo once found the Daimyo of the Land of Fire and wrote him a lot of blank checks.
Otherwise, when facing the challenges from the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen, the Daimyo of the Land of Fire would have no reason to stand on the side of Namikaze Minato.
It has been almost three years since Minato Namikaze became Hokage, and Hatake Akira feels that he should go to the Daimyo's Mansion in the Land of Fire to fulfill his previous promise.
With a wave of his hand, a space passage with water ripples appeared in front of him. Hatake Akira raised his leg and stepped into it.
When Hatake Akira stepped out again, he had already arrived at Daming Prefecture.
"Stop whoever comes!"
The samurai guarding the daimyo's mansion tightly grasped the long swords on their waists. Anyone who saw Hatake Akira's strange appearance would be very nervous.
"who are you?"
"Konoha's Acting Hokage, Hatake Akira, please inform me that I am here to fulfill my contract."
"Hatake Akira?"
It was obvious that the guard had heard of Hatake Akira's name. He looked Hatake Akira up and down, then looked at his companion beside him, then nodded and turned to enter the Daming Mansion.
Hatake Akira didn't have to wait too long. Soon the samurai guard came out leading a pot-bellied official.
"It turns out that Master Ming is here."
The chubby official smiled widely and bowed slightly to Hatake Akira. "Master Akira, please follow me. The Daimyo is waiting for you in the living room."
"please!"
"please."
Hatake Akira followed the official into the daimyo's mansion. The surrounding environment was very nice, with mountains, water, grass and flowers. It was obvious that the daimyo of the Land of Fire was a man who knew how to enjoy life.
The official led Qi Muming through many twists and turns, and soon they arrived at a magnificent place that looked like a palace.
"Master Ming, the Daimyo is waiting for you inside, so I won't go in."
"Well, that's troublesome."
Hatake Akira nodded, then reached out and pushed open the door. When he looked up, he saw the Daimyo of the Land of Fire sitting on the main seat.
"Big name."
"Well, please take a seat."
The daimyo's ceremony was very grand, and he did not conceal the aura of a superior at all. With a wave of his hand, a maid brought a chair and came to Hatake Akira.
