Chapter 146: Investing in Akatsuki Organization (Part and )

"Hanekawa, what's the situation?"

Tsunade stopped walking and asked.

"There are no pursuers nearby."

Hanekawa closed his eyes and said.

The Yamanaka clan's secret perception technique has a range that depends on the input chakra.

He used a large amount of chakra this time and was able to take in the situation within a five-kilometer radius.

Hanekawa suddenly remembered Kagura's Mind's Eye, which could detect any movement within a radius of tens of kilometers. It was simply terrifying.

"It seems that the Hidden Rain Village has not discovered our identity."

Tsunade nodded slightly, looked at Konan, and said, "It's just that the situation of your Akatsuki organization will become more difficult in the future."

The Hidden Rain Village lost four jonin at one time, which was a heavy loss.

If they can't find the Konoha Village, they will have to blame the Akatsuki organization.

"fine."

Konan said calmly, "Based on the current situation, it is difficult for Akatsuki to reconcile with the Hidden Rain Village."

"The retaliation from the Hidden Rain Village will probably come soon, so you should prepare early."

Tsunade reminded.

"Yeah, we understand."

Xiaonan walked forward, bowed slightly and said, "Thank you very much for your help!"

She possesses the Shikigami no Mai and can fly, but the rest of the Akatsuki cannot.

If it weren't for Tsunade, Hatake Sakumo and the others' help this time, with so many people, she would probably be the only one who could escape in the end.

"nothing."

Tsunade waved her hand and said, "Since you are all safe, let's say goodbye now."

"Tsunade-sama, I hope I'll have the chance to see you again."

Konan said this and left with the members of Akatsuki.

"pity."

Tsunade said suddenly as she watched them leave.

"What's a pity?"

Hanekawa asked doubtfully.

"The ideals of Akatsuki are beautiful, but the reality is cruel."

Tsunade sighed and said, "They can't beat the Hidden Rain Village and Hanzo."

Hanekawa nodded.

Putting aside Nagato's Rinnegan, the situation was exactly as Tsunade had expected. They were no match for Hanzo at all.

Although he eventually used the Rinnegan to kill everyone, he also paid a heavy price. Yahiko died and Nagato was disabled.

"Teacher, what do you think of Hanzo?"

Hanekawa's heart moved and he asked.

"He has strength and ambition, and is very dangerous."

Tsunade said thoughtfully.

The main forces in the Ninja World War were the five major villages, with the Hidden Rain Village being the only exception.

It is the only small ninja village that actively challenges the five major villages.

The reason is that it possesses half-god and half-Zang, and his Salamander is truly a powerful weapon in war.

Tsunade is worried about the Third Ninja World War, and that the Hidden Rain Village and Hanzo will make a comeback.

"The Akatsuki organization cannot defeat Hanzo, but they can contain the Hidden Rain Village."

Hanekawa said calmly.

"contain?"

Tsunade thought for a moment and said, "It's OK to contain people for a short time, but not for a long time."

“Why don’t we help them?”

Hanekawa smiled and said, "We just need to sell them supplies and information to allow them to exist longer."

Tsunade subconsciously turned her head and looked at him, with surprise on her face.

She thought about it carefully and realized that this method was indeed feasible.

Even if it fails, there will not be any major losses and it will not affect Konoha Village.

"It seems that you can already think with the mind of a Hokage."

Tsunade couldn't help but praise.

Hanekawa suddenly looked strange.

This sentence sounds too familiar.

This is exactly what Sarutobi Hiruzen said about Uchiha Itachi in the original work.

He was only seven years old at the time.

Hanekawa is twelve years old now, and not that shocking.

This method comes from the proxy wars that were common in previous lives.

But his real purpose was not to support Akatsuki, but to let Tsunade know what Danzo Shimura was doing in the Land of Rain.

Sarutobi Hiruzen was too indulgent towards Shimura Danzo.

In the original work, a large number of his roots were killed by Nagato, but he still did not receive any punishment.

If Tsunade knew about this, the outcome would be completely different.

It is impossible for Sarutobi Hiruzen to ignore her thoughts and let Shimura Danzo go. At least there will be an overt punishment.

As for the Akatsuki organization, with Nagato around, they can survive for a long time even without the support of Konoha Village.

The only question is at what cost.

"Teacher, what do you think?"

Hanekawa coughed lightly and asked.

"It's a good idea."

Tsunade nodded slightly and asked again, "But will Akatsuki be willing?"

"You can ask Uncle Jiraiya to do this."

Hanekawa thought for a moment and said.

Although Nagato is hostile towards Konoha Village due to the death of his parents, he feels that Akatsuki will accept it.

First, the current leader of Akatsuki is Yahiko.

Second, Akatsuki’s situation is dire.

Third, there is the relationship with Jiraiya.

"Jiraiya?"

Tsunade thought of Konan's attitude just now and said, "Maybe it's possible."

"That's troublesome, teacher."

Seeing her let go, Hanekawa quickly spoke.

"Are you trying to make me Hokage again?"

Tsunade stared at him for two seconds and exposed his thoughts.

If she were to say it, Sarutobi Hiruzen would think that she already had the heart to become Hokage.

After all, supporting the Akatsuki organization and interfering in the Rain Country are things that only the Hokage would consider.

"That's not what I meant."

Hanekawa coughed lightly and said.

"Don't I know you yet?"

Tsunade glared at him and said, "When we get back, you and I will go to see the old man together."

After saying that, she walked into the carriage.

Hanekawa scratched his head and followed her.

Kido Ei is a merchant from the Land of Fire, so naturally he would not stay in the Land of Rain, but would return with them.

After losing the cargo, we encountered fewer attacks on the way back, only once.

Four days passed in a flash, and on the morning of the fifth day, everyone arrived at Konoha Village.

Without any extra words, Kido Eiji said something to everyone and left with his caravan.

At this point, this A-level mission has come to an end.

"You go back and rest. Hanekawa and I will go to the Hokage Building to report on the mission."

Tsunade looked at Hatake Sakumo and the others and spoke.

"Ok."

Hatake Sakumo did not refuse.

With Tsunade doing it for him, he could save a lot of time.

Asuma Sarutobi, Kurenai Yuhi and others had even less objections.

"The Leaf Village is still better!"

When there was no one around, Tsunade revealed her true form and stretched lazily.

Hanekawa was horrified by what he saw.

Every time she moves with a large amplitude, her figure is highlighted to the fullest.

"go!"

Tsunade perked up and said, "After we hand in the mission, we'll go to the casino and have some fun!"

"Teacher, you've been walking back and forth for more than a week. Don't you want to go home and rest?"

Hanekawa couldn't help but complain and asked.

"It's only been a week, I'm not tired."

Tsunade glanced at him and said, "Don't underestimate the teacher, kid!"

"is teacher."

Hanekawa paused and said, "But I'm tired."

"Then go to the casino and rest."

Tsunade said with a smile, "You can't do anything in the casino anyway."

"You won't let me do it!"

Hanekawa said helplessly.

His lucky aura only works when he's close to Tsunade, so he can't go far away and naturally can't do anything.

"Long-winded!"

Tsunade snorted and turned away, "Follow me."

The two soon arrived at the Hokage Building.

Bang!
The door to the Hokage's office opened automatically due to the force.

"Why are you so rude as soon as you get back?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen put down his pipe and asked with some dissatisfaction, "The mission is completed, give me the reward."

Tsunade simply ignored his words, walked up to him and held out her hand.

"Where's the mission report?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen took out a passbook and threw it to her.

"I didn't write it."

Tsunade glanced at the passbook, smiled and said.

Sarutobi Hiruzen suddenly twitched the corner of his mouth.

It’s better not to have this student!
"We encountered the Akatsuki organization."

Tsunade said as she put away the passbook.

"Is that the Akatsuki organization that has recently emerged in the Rain Country?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen thought for a moment and asked, "What's their situation?"

The Rain Country has always been the focus of attention because of the existence of Hanzo and its proximity to the Fire Country.

The Akatsuki organization has been making quite a stir in the Rain Country in the past two years, and Sarutobi Hiruzen was naturally aware of it.

"Do you remember that Jiraiya spent three years in the Rain Country?"

Tsunade changed the subject and asked.

"What does this have to do with Jiraiya?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen was slightly startled and asked with some confusion.

"It was Jiraiya's students who founded the Akatsuki organization."

Tsunade replied.

"Ok?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen couldn't help but frown, "Why didn't he tell me about this?"

"Never mind that for now."

Tsunade waved her hand and said, "I hope Konoha Village can support Akatsuki and let them confront Hanzo."

"You mean to use the Akatsuki organization to contain the Hidden Rain Village and Hanzo?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes lit up and he said, "That's feasible."

The Hidden Rain Village and Hanzo are the biggest threats to Konoha Village.

Not to mention killing them, but making their lives miserable would be beneficial to Konoha Village.

Especially nowadays, war may break out at any time.

If the Hidden Cloud Village takes action, the Hidden Rain Village will most likely take advantage of the situation to rob.

"good."

Sarutobi Hiruzen said with a smile, "It's rare to see you take the initiative to help Konoha Village solve problems."

"This is Hanekawa's suggestion."

Tsunade said without hesitation, "It has nothing to do with me."

"Hanekawa?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen subconsciously looked at Hanekawa, with surprise on his face.

“I was inspired by my teacher.”

Hanekawa said with a serious face.

The next second, he saw Tsunade raise her leg and step on him.

Are you a child? You step on my feet.

Hanekawa smiled at her without changing his expression.

"If it's done, you all get credit."

Sarutobi Hiruzen pretended not to notice Tsunade's little move and asked, "Are you going to contact the Akatsuki organization?"

"Let Jiraiya go."

Tsunade said casually, "He's out there doing nothing anyway."

"Alright."

Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded slightly and said, "Since he is his student, let him contact him."

"Then let's go first."

Tsunade said impatiently.

"and many more."

Sarutobi Hiruzen suddenly thought of something and asked, "Have you exposed your identities?"

"of course not."

Tsunade had already pulled Hanekawa to the door.

"Remember to hand in the mission report."

Sarutobi Hiruzen reminded.

"Go find Sakumo!"

The sound still echoed in the Hokage's office, but Tsunade had disappeared.

Sarutobi Hiruzen smiled and shook his head.

He saw the change in Tsunade.

Ever since Sheng Shu's death, she has been living a day-to-day life, too lazy to even do her tasks, let alone take the initiative to offer advice.

Now she has taken the initiative to plot against the Hidden Rain Village and Hanzo.

Although Tsunade said it was Hanekawa's idea, it is impossible to say that she had no ideas at all.

If she was really determined, she could have rejected Hanekawa directly instead of dragging him to the Hokage's office like she was doing now.

Konoha Village Casino.

Tsunade sat down in front of the gambling table with ease.

Hanekawa sat next to her, with their thighs touching.

"You can sleep if you want."

Tsunade said without even looking up, staring intently at the gaming table.

"How can I sleep in this environment?"

Hanekawa shook his head and asked back.

"But weren't you able to sleep before?"

Tsunade asked, somewhat confused.

That's because I slept in your arms.

Hanekawa coughed lightly and said, "I'm not sleepy, don't worry about me."

Tsunade nodded slightly, and without thinking too much, she plunged into the gambling.

Hanekawa closed his eyes and practiced the Eye of the Heart.

He was suddenly startled.

Because he can clearly sense the movement trajectory of the dice.

Hanekawa couldn't help but think that the quality of the ninjas in this world was still too high.

There was no ninja to cheat.

With Tsunade's strength, if she really wants to win, she doesn't need too many ways.

It seems that he really enjoys the fun of gambling.

Even though she kept losing.

……

The Raikage Building in the Hidden Cloud Village.

"Thank you for your hard work, Tutai."

The Third Raikage spoke as he looked at Dodai who had just returned from the Sand Village.

"That's my job."

Tutai said seriously.

"How's it going?"

The Third Raikage nodded slightly and went straight to the point.

"it is true!"

Tutai's tone rose slightly as he spoke in a deep voice.

"Is it true?"

The Third Raikage showed a surprised expression.

"What is the basis for your judgment?"

Mabui asked calmly.

"First, the Third Kazekage hasn't been seen in a long time."

Dodai smiled and said, "Secondly, and most importantly, the internal struggle within the Sand Village has reached a fever pitch."

"A candidate for the Kazekage?"

Mabui asked thoughtfully.

"Ah."

Dodai nodded and said, "Right now there is a three-way fight in the Sand Village, between Rasa, Hakura, and Fuyoshi."

Rasa, who possesses the magnetic escape technique inherited from the Third Kazekage, is the strongest and has the greatest voice.

Ye Cang is good at Scorch Release and has made great contributions to the Sand Village. His reputation is slightly inferior to that of Rasa.

In the original work, Fuyoshi is the elder of the Sand Village.

During the Chunin Exam held in the Sand Village, he was dissatisfied with the young Gaara being the Kazekage, so he sent Hoichi to assassinate him.

Hoichi was a student of the One-tailed Jinchuriki Bonfuku, and was skilled in dealing with Jinchuriki, and he almost took out Gaara.

"Who does Chiyo support?"

Mabui asked after listening.

"Chiyo is old, and her son and daughter-in-law died tragically, so she didn't get involved."

Tutai thought for a moment and said.

"Kill Rasa, Ye Cang and Fu Yi, and the Sand Village will be in chaos!"

The Third Raikage stood up and said.

"Lord Raikage!"

Ma Buyi said quickly, "I think the best way is to intensify their internal strife!"

"How to do it?"

The Third Raikage frowned slightly and asked.

"It's very simple."

Mabui smiled and said, "For example, if you disguise yourself as Ye Cang's subordinate and assassinate Luo Sha, whether you succeed or not, it will cause chaos."
