"Kabuto Yakushi wins!" Kakashi announced the winner's name loudly.

"Although I knew I couldn't beat him, I didn't expect to lose so easily." Moonlight Gale sighed.

Kabuto didn't use any other means, but relied on the simple basic sword move of water breathing to defeat him.

Kabuto smiled and pulled Moonlight Hayate up, "Haifeng, you have practiced very solidly. If I hadn't been practicing the breathing method longer than you, I would have been in danger this time."

"Just be humble. If I believe it, I'll lose." Moonlight Hayate obviously didn't believe Kabuto's lies.

Moonlight Hayate may believe it at first, but after getting familiar with it, he knows that this is just Kabuto's modesty, or caution, and Kabuto rarely brags about how strong he is.

Seeing the moonlight, Hayate didn't believe it, Kabuto just smiled and said nothing, and the two left the ring together.

"The second game, Takuno vs. Itachi Uchiha!" A moment later, Kakashi announced the second game of the semi-finals and the last game of the day.

In order to allow the finalists to better collide, only the semi-finals are scheduled today, and the final will be tomorrow.

Nagazawa, who was watching the battle from above, knew that Itachi had won this game when Itachi and Takuno first came on the field.

"I don't know how far Itachi and Kabuto will fight." Nagazawa was already thinking about tomorrow's final.

He felt that it might be very interesting when two people who usually have a good relationship meet in the finals. It will be a competition that is almost the same as usual, or a real battle with all their strength.

In order for the two of them to defeat each other with all their strength when the time came, Yongze was very aggressive and offered inducements.

After all, it is such a special Chunin Exam, wouldn't it be a pity if the finals ended normally.

The second battle was a little more intense than the first, but in the end Takuno was defeated by Itachi's endless tricks.

Exquisite throwing of hidden weapons, unexpected one-hand seals, powerful fire escape, and sharp sword skills.

The defeated Takuno didn't look unwilling, but looked at Itachi with great admiration, obviously convinced.

"Itachi Uchiha wins." Kakashi announced the winner again.

The selection of the two finalists is a civil war between the Konoha ninjas and the special operations squad.

After the battle, Itachi followed his parents who were watching the battle.

Perhaps because it was already the semi-finals, Uchiha Fugaku and Uchiha Mikoto also came to watch the game today.

"You performed very well today and lived up to your usual efforts." Fugaku praised his eldest son.

"Yes." Uchiha Itachi's expression did not change much, and he was not too happy because of his father's praise.

Victory was something he expected, so Uchiha Fugaku's praise naturally could not arouse his inner emotions.

Although he is only seven years old, Itachi is not an ordinary child, and he will not let his father's ordinary compliments leave him alone.

Compared to this, Nagaze would be happier if he could discuss issues related to war and peace.

"You and Kabuto often practice together, so you should be very clear about his strength. How sure are you that you can win against him."

Faced with Itachi's bland attitude, Uchiha Fugaku, who was familiar with Itachi's character, knew that this was not because Itachi had any objection to him, but because of his personality, so he didn't care and talked about the finals.

"It's hard to say, Kabuto is very strong, so I'm not very sure, but I won't fail easily. I should probably give it a 50-50 shot." Itachi thought for a while and said.

"You try your best to win first place, and I will prepare a gift for you that you will like." Uchiha Fugaku said.

After thinking about it for a while, Uchiha Fugaku added, "Even if you don't win, you still get a gift, but it's still the same. Just try your best."

"Yes." Itachi nodded slightly, indicating that he would go all out.

In fact, even if there is no Uchiha Fugaku, he will still fight this battle seriously and with all his strength. There are many reasons, some are because of Nagazawa's reward, some are because Nagazawa said that he wants Kabuto to experience failure, and there are also his own reasons.

Want to win, want to be strong.

In order to realize his ideal, strong strength is indispensable.

Uchiha Sasuke, who was being led by Uchiha Mikoto next to him, couldn't help showing an envious look when he saw Uchiha Fugaku praising Itachi and giving Itachi a gift.

Uchiha Fugaku rarely praised him, and only occasionally when he behaved well would he be praised in passing.

'If I were as strong as my brother, would I be able to get praise from my father often?' Sasuke thought to himself.

………………

When the Chunin Examination was in full swing in Konoha, Zetsu rushed back to the Akatsuki organization base in the Land of Rain and met Nagato.

In a room deep in the Hidden Rain Village, Nagato was sitting in a wheelchair, looking quietly at the drizzle outside with his unlit reincarnation eyes.

Konan stood next to Nagato without saying a word, watching the rain scene quietly with Nagato.

Zee emerged from the wooden floor and appeared behind the two of them.

Zetsu didn't deliberately restrain his aura, so Nagato immediately discovered Zetsu.

"Do you have any information to report?" Nagato turned around and asked.

"Yes, and it is very important information." Jue said seriously.

"Very important information?" Nagato stared at Zetsu.

"The information about the Akatsuki organization's base and the purpose of collecting tailed beasts are very likely to be known to Konoha." Zetsu said.

Nagato's somewhat pale face turned ugly, and his brows furrowed. He had already done so carefully, how could Konoha know the information.

Moreover, only he, Konan, and Zetsu in the Akatsuki organization know about collecting tailed beasts. Even the other official members don't know that Akatsuki's ultimate goal is this, so how did this information get leaked?

"Is there something wrong with Madara?" Nagato looked at Zetsu with oppressive eyes.

Nagato had no idea how the information about collecting tailed beasts could be leaked. He didn't even tell the members of the Akatsuki organization.

After excluding other possibilities, the remaining one, no matter how impossible it is, is still the truth, that is, there is a problem on Madara's side.

"Well, there was a problem on Madara's side. Madara was busy with something very important, so he controlled a person to complete his arrangements while he was away. As a result, that person accidentally fell into Konoha's hands.

.

That person knows the complete information about the Akatsuki organization, so our information is likely to have been leaked, and the purpose has been known to Konoha." Zetsu nodded and said.

"What an important thing, how important a thing it is, it actually caused our intelligence to be leaked to Konoha." Nagato was obviously very dissatisfied.

"Who knows, that's Uchiha Madara." Zetsu said happily, making it impossible to tell what he was thinking from his black and white face.

"Why didn't Madara come with you?" Nagato asked.

"He is still busy with his important things and can't come over." Jue replied.

"But he has arranged everything. The Akatsuki organization can be transferred from the Country of Rain to the Country of Fields, where a new plan can be started."

"Are you leaving the Country of Rain?" Xiaonan asked.

She became an orphan due to the war and wandered with Nagato Yahiko. She has always stayed in the Country of Rain and would only leave the Country of Rain when recruiting people.

"Since Konoha has discovered the base, it must be moved." Nagato was silent for a while, then nodded.

Although Konoha may not necessarily come to them even if they know their plans, after all, they are just a ninja organization, and Konoha is the head of the five major ninja villages.

It is impossible for the richest man to take action just because a certain supermarket owner said he wanted to overthrow his company. For the same reason, the current Akatsuki organization will not theoretically be regarded as an enemy by Konoha.

However, the base is controlled by others, which means that when the Akatsuki organization starts to take real action later, Konoha can directly attack Huanglong's attack on the Akatsuki organization.

This is something Nagato doesn't want to see, so it is necessary to move the base. This country of rain is no longer safe.

"Tian Country has no ninja village and is weak. In addition, we control the ministers in the country. It is the most suitable place for the development of the Akatsuki organization. We can even build a new ninja village there." Bai Jue said.

"The forces in Yuyin Village cannot give up and leave some reliable people here to control Yuyin Village." Nagato thought for a while and said.

After trying so hard to kill Hanzo and take the Aegakure Village, we naturally can't give it up easily. The Aegakure Village is not weak among the Xiao Ninja Villages. It can be said that it is the Xiao Kirigakure. The ninjas in the village are good at assassination.

"Beyond this, in order for you to gain the power to compete with Fujiwara Nagasawa, Madara has specially formulated a plan for you to use secret methods to devour the appropriate blood successor limits and increase your power." Zetsu said.

"What kind of strengthening plan?" Nagato was wary. Although he cooperated with the so-called Uchiha Madara, Nagato did not trust him 100% and did not regard him as a partner like Konan Yahiko.

Zetsu told the story about Oni Raa no Jutsu, and then handed over Oni Raa no Jutsu to Nagato, and told Nagato that if he was worried, he could ask Beiruhu, he is the Oni Raa no Jutsu

developer.

"According to Madara, if nothing goes wrong, as long as you absorb White Zetsu with Hashirama cells, you should be able to get out of the wheelchair, and the pressure of using the Rinnegan will be reduced." Zetsu said about Nagato's bright future.

For Nagato, who was unable to move, this was a fatal temptation.

He knew that what Nagato couldn't refuse was that not only could he walk on his own again, but it also meant that Nagato could take action himself.

Pain's Six Paths looks like that, but it's actually not as powerful as the main body.

However, due to Nagato's physical condition and his immobile legs, he could only use the Pains to take his place.

In order to gain stronger power and deal with the powerful Nagaze, Nagato had no choice unless he was no longer prepared to realize his ideal of peace.

"Okay, I understand." Nagato replied without showing any expression of joy.

Jue sneaked into the ground with a smile and disappeared in front of the two of them.

After a while, Xiaonan said: "There may be a conspiracy, Uchiha Madara left the arrangement."

She didn't believe that the so-called Uchiha Madara would be so kind and come to help Nagato for free.

When Madara first appeared, he expressed his intention to win over them. However, Yahiko was not dead at that time. He felt that this so-called Uchiha Madara's action was too suspicious, so he refused.

Later, when Nagato fell into despair and hatred, he agreed to Uchiha Madara's so-called alliance.

Nagato nodded and said: "You are right, Xiaonan, Uchiha Madara must have his own plans, and you must be cautious with him."

"However," Nagato's voice changed, "He currently has the same goal as ours. Fujiwara Nagasawa is also the opponent he wants to solve, so that plan should really enhance my strength, otherwise he is deliberately planning it.

There is no point in joining forces with us."

At this point, Nagato's meaning was very obvious, be careful, but after carefully checking the plan and confirming that there were no major problems, he still wanted to use it.

Because all the tailed beasts need to be collected, Konoha cannot be avoided, and Fujiwara Nagazawa must face them no matter what.

As the god of the new era, his power must be stronger than everyone else to ensure the implementation of the plan.

"Yeah." Xiaonan, who didn't have much opinion, chose to listen to Nagato's words.

………………

"Here, there...what happened..." In the daze, Yagura suddenly woke up, and then found that he could not move, and the bed he was lying on had thick iron chains locking his body.

He recalled some things and remembered everything. He was going to practice that day, and then he met a few suspicious people.

As the fourth Mizukage of Kirigakure Village, Yagura planned to get rid of the three suspicious characters before going to practice.

As a result, he didn't expect that the opponent's strength was beyond his imagination. He didn't get rid of those three people easily, but was dealt with quickly.

The ninja skills of those three people were all things he had never seen before. One suddenly sucked him in, and the other touched him and sucked him into an unknown space. Then there was an endless explosion. If it weren't for the tailed beast, Yagura felt

He might be blown up.

But after that, he was controlled by the other party using illusions. Yagura remembered the memory of that period very clearly, but he could not control his body.

At the end, the masked man who controlled him seemed to want to trigger a war between Konoha and Kirigakure and kill Konoha ninjas.

Yagura had no memory at the back. He only remembered that he transformed into a three-tailed man and fought with a Konoha ninja. He was suddenly hit hard in the back and fainted.

'Who has such terrifying power that can knock out tailed beasts instantly?' Yagura thought in his heart.

While recalling the memories of when he was controlled, Yagura observed the surrounding scene. Based on his rich experience as a ninja, Yagura finally judged that he was in an underground building.

He tried to use his chakra, but found that there was a powerful seal on his body and he couldn't use his chakra.

After trying to no avail, Yagura tried to communicate with the Three-Tails, hoping to use the Three-Tails' chakra to break the chain.

"No, I don't want to get beaten if you want." Sanbi rejected Yagura without even thinking about it.

Yagura was a little surprised. Are tailed beasts still so afraid of being beaten?
