Chapter 89 Rebuilding Konoha Village: Did You Ask Me, Uchiha?
That day, An was treating Nagato when White Zetsu suddenly came to report.
"Chief, the Land of Wind has sent a request, hoping to pass through the Land of Rain so that the Sand Village's ninja army can go to the Land of Fire to fight."
The Land of Rain is a small country sandwiched between the Land of Fire, the Land of Wind, and the Land of Earth. If the Land of Wind wants to invade the Land of Fire, it must pass through the Land of Rain or the Land of Rivers.
"Hmph, a pointless test!" Nagato snorted coldly, resolutely refusing, "Tell the envoys from the Land of Wind that they are not allowed to set foot in the Land of Rain!"
"These great powers are the source of chaos in the ninja world!"
"Whenever there's the slightest disturbance in the ninja world, they pounce like greedy hyenas, swarming to steal our prey!"
"Those who haven't personally experienced the pain of war simply cannot understand the preciousness of peace!"
"These arrogant and powerful nations should also feel the pain of war!"
"So, should we stop the Land of Wind from invading the Land of Fire?" White Zetsu asked curiously. "I've learned from the front lines that the remnants of Konoha are sending people to recall Tsunade and Jiraiya, intending to rebuild Konoha."
Rebuild Konoha Village?
Uchiha An, who was originally uninvolved, suddenly raised his eyebrows.
Did you ask the Uchiha clan for their consent before you wanted to rebuild Konoha?
Without the Uchiha clan's approval, no one can rebuild Konoha!
But then Nagato said in a deep voice:
"Our goal is to make the five major powers feel the pain of war and thus understand the value of peace, not to completely destroy them."
"Having experienced this incident, Ye must have already felt the pain of war."
"Let's observe Konoha's actions first to see if they've reformed. If they remain unrepentant, then it's not too late to completely destroy them!"
"As for the war between the five great powers—"
Nagato began to ponder, somewhat hesitant.
He was a pacifist, and the reason he launched the war was to force other countries to maintain peace.
Therefore, according to his own intention, he wanted the Akatsuki organization to act as a stabilizing force, crushing all nations, bringing them suffering, and ultimately forcing them to submit. He didn't want nations to fight each other, causing even more bloodshed.
In other words, in the new ninja world order, the Akatsuki is the protagonist, and other countries cannot steal the spotlight!
Seeing that Nagato intended to interfere, Anton was immediately displeased.
The Akatsuki can crush the world, but they can't protect Konoha from disaster!
For An, the most crucial thing right now is to make Konoha Village disappear from the ninja world completely, not to exert any kind of pressure on the ninja world.
He hurriedly tried to dissuade him:
"Chief, although the five great powers are hostile to each other, their attitudes toward other smaller countries are surprisingly consistent."
"Great powers may fight each other, but no small country should stand up!"
"Our destruction of Konoha Village has already put the other four countries on their guard, which is why the Land of Wind is probing us this time."
"If we fight with the Land of Wind, most of the other countries will think that the Land of Rain wants to rise to power and will work together to suppress us."
"We'd better keep a low profile for now and not make the other four countries too wary, lest they unite and become our enemy."
"While we are not afraid of those great powers, war would not benefit our plans."
"We don't have all our people right now, so even if we capture Yiwei, we won't be able to get into the seal."
"Moreover, we've almost exhausted our war supplies, so starting a war rashly would not be a wise move."
"Why not let the nations fight amongst themselves to weaken their strength, and then we can secure victory in one fell swoop?"
"Our most important task now is to further enhance the power of the Akatsuki organization and revive the Ten-Tails."
"Once I make you the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki, even if the Five Great Nations rise up, there will be nothing to fear."
Nagato listened to An's words. After considering them carefully for a while, he nodded.
"That makes sense. Let's proceed according to the established steps, first get the personnel in place, and do our best to enhance the strength of the Akatsuki."
He turned to Bai Jue and asked:
"Haven't you found any trace of Hiruzen yet?"
"Someone spotted him near the Land of Water," White Zetsu nodded. "But we'll need some time to pinpoint his exact location."
"The Land of Water?" Nagato subconsciously turned his gaze to An, hoping to glean some relevant information from him.
An Ning thought for a moment and said:
"Hiruko's Dark Escape Technique seems to have been obtained from the Land of Water. We can use this information to conduct targeted reconnaissance."
"Hmm, never mind, Orochimaru and I will go ahead and wait for him there!"
"Otherwise, the two places are too far apart, and by the time we get the news and go there, he might have already taken the spoils and gone into hiding again."
After these days of treatment, Nagato's body has recovered considerably, and he can now rely on the Uzumaki clan's powerful regenerative abilities to heal himself.
Although the recovery will be slower, it is no longer necessary to rely on Uchiha An for treatment.
Moreover, a slower recovery has its advantages, preventing Nagato from becoming arrogant again and trying to single-handedly defeat the entire world and protect Konoha from disaster.
Nagato, unaware of An's inner thoughts, was very pleased with his proactive attitude and nodded, saying:
"In that case, you shall set off and bring back Biruhu."
An got up with a smile and walked out with Bai Jue to find Orochimaru.
Orochimaru's experiment was clearly at a critical juncture, and he was extremely impatient with missions.
But one of Orochimaru's strengths is that he is very pragmatic.
After grumbling a few times, Orochimaru still packed his things and set off with Anichi.
Watching An and his group disappear from Amegakure, Obito, his face grim, turned to Zetsu beside him:
"Uchiha An is definitely the biggest variable in our plan."
"The fact that he hasn't revealed the 'Eye of the Moon' plan to Nagato yet doesn't mean he won't in the future."
"We can't let him continue to exist within the Akatsuki organization; we have to find a way to get rid of him!"
But this time, Jue rejected him very decisively.
"Obito, you don't need to worry about anything."
"Although he's somewhat insane and out of control right now, he'll soon have a weakness."
"I made a deal with him before, to help him resurrect his family."
"By the time he returns from his mission, Nagato will have recovered considerably. I will then have a way to persuade Nagato to use the 'Rinne Tenjutsu' to revive An's younger brother."
"With his beloved younger brother by his side, he has something to hold him back, so he naturally wouldn't do anything too crazy, and he certainly wouldn't dare offend us!"
"Your beloved younger brother?" Upon hearing this, Obito suddenly recalled the nightmares he had been having these past few days.
In his nightmares, he either killed his beloved Rin or his second love, Kakashi. Each time, the methods were different, and being repeatedly toyed with by his beloved was driving him almost insane.
Upon hearing that Uchiha An actually wanted to revive his beloved younger brother, a cold glint appeared in his eyes, and all sorts of wicked thoughts flooded his mind.
"I will make him understand that this world is ultimately an illusion, and the only way out is to build a perfect dream world!"
"Project Eye of the Moon must succeed!"
