"It's okay, then the alliance between the Rain Ninja and the Grass Ninja has been established." Pain said calmly.

He realized the intention behind the words of the grass ninja leader. He was no longer the ignorant boy who didn't understand anything.

After Yahiko's death, he inherited the Akatsuki organization and inherited Yahiko's legacy. This made Nagato understand a lot and take the initiative to learn a lot.

Although he disdains politicians like the leader of the grass ninja who are timid and vague in their actions, it does not mean that he does not understand them. On the contrary, he understands very well what those guys think.

But so what, Nagato doesn't care if the Kusanagi come later. As for whether the Kusanagi will come, Nagato is not worried.

Don't forget Bai Zetsu's intelligence ability. As long as Bai Zetsu is willing, he can easily obtain information from other places except Konoha.

Nagato easily analyzed the character of the Kusanagi leader through the intelligence of the Kusanagi leader. He was a very ambitious guy who was afraid of chaos in the world, but he was also particularly timid, or cautious.

But as long as there is a real opportunity, the leader of the Grass Ninja will take the Grass Ninja Village there because he has the ambition to replace the five major countries.

So Nagato is not worried about whether the Kusanagi will keep up. As for whether he can let the Kusanagi see the opportunity, Nagato is even less worried about this. If he didn't even have this little confidence, he wouldn't come here.

.

"So..." The grass ninja leader wanted to say something nice, but suddenly he remembered that he still didn't know the name of the young rain ninja leader in front of him, so he asked Nagato.

"Penn." Nagato replied expressionlessly.

"You are really young and promising. I believe that under the leadership of Mr. Payne, the Rain Ninja Village will soon be on the road to revival, and finally successfully defeat the oppression of the Great Ninja Village." The Grass Ninja leader said with a smile.

Although it seemed a bit inappropriate for a man in his thirties to call a young man "Your Excellency", the Kusanagi leader did not think there was any shame in it.

The opponent is a ruthless character who even brought down the demigod Hanzo, and is now preparing to launch a ninja war to attack the five major ninja villages. If he really succeeds, his name will be remembered by history and he will become a legendary figure.

If just saying a few more good words can bring the relationship between the two parties closer, then the grass ninja leader is willing to keep talking.

The world of ninja is cruel. If you can use words to solve problems, that would be great.

Pain did not reply to the grass ninja leader's words. He just nodded lightly and walked out of the conference room.

This is a matter of course. The country of the rain ninja village rain, and even the entire ninja world, will be affected by Pain or Yahiko, and eventually become a peaceful ninja world.

"What a proud young man, but this is for the best." The grass ninja leader did not show anger because of Pain's indifference. He smiled and followed out.

The leader of the Kusanagi thought for a long time. Although the war may not be won, he had already thought about what would happen in the future. If he really won, would the Kusanagi and the Rain ninja face each other in the end?

In this case, an arrogant young man is much easier to deal with than a little fox with a hidden knife in his smile.

After confirming the alliance, both parties quickly left.

After Nagato returned to the Rain Ninja Village, he also began to arrange things after he left the Rain Ninja Village.

He let Xiaonan go first, while he stayed in the Rain Ninja Village, firstly for the sake of Xiaonan's safety, and secondly, to win over the grass ninja and have an extra helper when the time comes.

If Nagato had followed the original plan, there would have been no need to do this.

The original plan was to use strong men and White Zetsu's convenient information to directly invade the ninja village at extremely high speed and seize the jinchūriki.

It can be seen that the original plan only requires masters, and even the Rain Ninja Village will not play. Only members of the Akatsuki organization will play, so of course it is useless to bring in a small Ninja Village.

But in Nagato's new plan, he wants to defeat the great ninja village as a small ninja village. This is not just about grabbing a jinchuriki, but directly defeating the great ninja village in a frontal battle.

War does not only require strong men, unless that strong man is a person of his level, but this is obviously unrealistic.

Nagato knew it well, he had the eyes of the Sage of Six Paths, and then used Oni Luo Bud to strengthen himself, so that he had the exaggerated strength now, which is impossible for ordinary people.

For example, ordinary Kage-level warriors can actually be dealt with through the cooperation of Jonin.

The quality and quantity of ninjas in the Great Ninja Village were difficult to match in the Small Ninja Village, so Nagato thought of a way to unite other Small Ninja Villages.

Next, Nagato will first go to Tian Country to establish the Light Ninja Village, which plays a vital role in this, and then integrate the forces of the entire ninja world except the Great Ninja Village to deal with the Great Ninja Village.

Nagato quickly arranged for some people he could trust to take control of Amegakure Village during his absence.

This is actually not a big deal. In the past, when he went out, Xiaonan would always be with him. It doesn't mean that without the two of them, Yu Ninja Village would be out of control.

Akatsuki's development over the years was not in vain. It did not just absorb powerful rebel ninjas.

……………………

At the special operations squad base, the reserve team members who usually trained separately gathered together, and all the trainers were present, even Nagaze, who rarely appeared, was also present.

Because today is the first formal member assessment of the special operations squad since its establishment.

Today's assessment is different from the simple illusion assessment for reserve team members to enter the special operations class. Today is a real combat assessment!

"I reiterate that if you don't have confidence in yourself, you can give up taking the assessment, otherwise you may be seriously injured or even die..." Nagaze said in a serious tone, changing his usual easy-going attitude.

What is Nagaze's definition of a special operations squad? Elite, the best among the best!

In his imagination, the special operations team will be the sharp knife of Konoha from now on. When someone or a force wants to do something bad to Konoha, that's when this sharp knife comes out of the body.

They do not perform any infiltration missions, protection missions or missions to steal intelligence. Once the special operations team is dispatched, they fight, with the purpose of killing the opponent.

Although Nagaze wants peace and hopes for peace in the ninja world, this is also related to the environment of his previous life.

But there is a difference between not using a knife when you have one in hand, and not using a knife when there is no knife in hand.

Therefore, he set the formal assessment to be very difficult. For this reason, he even bothered Orochimaru to bring out some of his previous research and improve it.

The assessment location is a mountain near Konoha.

Nagazawa put a large number of poisonous insects and beasts into the mountain, and then put some basilisks and weird monsters studied by Orochimaru into it.

Although those monsters don't know how to use chakra, they are thick-skinned and powerful, and the chunin would have to frown even if they came.

The requirement for the assessment is to survive in that mountain for six days and kill at least two monsters.

Candidates who encounter danger or want to give up during the period can choose to activate the signal flare to give up the assessment, and ninjas will come to the rescue.

After Nagaze finished speaking, the scene fell into silence for a while. It was obvious that no one wanted to give up.

Yongze nodded. Regardless of their strength, these reserve members of the special operations squad are still very confident and courageous.

"It seems that no one has given up, let's go!" Yongze waved his hand, and then led the special operations team to prepare to go to the assessment site.

"Goodbye monitor, goodbye teachers, seniors..." The second batch of preparatory members waved goodbye.

Since the second batch of preliminary members had just learned the breathing method not long ago, Yongze naturally would not let them take part in the assessment. Isn't that just a gift?

It is worth mentioning that the special operations squad still does not have a Breath of Rock trainer, but there is a Breath of Thunder trainer.

Nagaze searched for a long time, but in the end he couldn't find anyone suitable to practice the Breath of Rock. The practitioner of Breath of Thunder was someone he dug from the Anbu.

Nagaze was not surprised either. Iwa's breathing was still too difficult, and he was so picky, so it was normal to find him. Metkai certainly had that ability, but Nagaze felt that it was a waste of Kai's time.

Fortunately, rock breathing is difficult to learn, and generally few students are able to learn it or are interested in learning it, so the impact on the special warfare class is not great.

Compared with the first batch, the selection of breathing methods in the second batch is more balanced. Although there are still more Breathing of Flames, it is not as exaggerated. After all, there are many trainers of Breathing of Flames, so it is normal for more people to learn it.

.

"I'm really excited. After becoming a formal member, you can take on missions. Then you can level up. Maybe you can become a pillar one day." Isamu Uchiha said excitedly.

In the recent Chunin exam, although Isamu Uchiha did not even make it to the top eight, it was obvious that luck and the quality of that Chunin exam were too exaggerated, as evidenced by the fact that Isamu Uchiha became a Chunin.

You know, usually there is even a chuunin exam where there are no chunin at all, but he didn't even make it to the top eight, but he was promoted to chunin. You can imagine the gold content.

What's more, Uchiha also heard that many people who lost in the first round were promoted to chuunin.

So Uchiha Isamu doesn't feel that he can't even pass as a regular member.

"What are you dreaming about? Even the teachers are not pillars yet, and you still want to be a pillar." Uchiha Naoki looked at Uchiha Isamu speechlessly.

There is only one pillar in the current special operations squad, and that is Nagaze.

No one thinks there is any problem with this. After all, Nagazawa is the founder of the special operations team, the developer of the breathing method, and is now recognized as the strongest person in Konoha.

In fact, Nagazawa had planned to let Fousuke become a water pillar before, and Fousuke was already strong enough and a veteran elite jounin.

After all, it's just a special department. It's impossible for the pillars to be required to be at the Kage level. This is too harsh. It will take at least ten more years of development for Konoha to achieve this.

But Kosuke refused, on the grounds that he was too old and the position of pillar should be left to young people.

Nagaze thought for a while and finally did not force Gu Jie to agree. Age was indeed an issue.

At Kosuke's age, Nagazawa would rather he just be a trainer and teach people well.

"It won't matter if you think about it. If you don't even dare to think about it, then you have already lost to me, Naoki." Isamu Uchiha said with a smile.

Uchiha Naoki looked at Uchiha Isamu speechlessly, but he couldn't refute anything, because he knew that if he refuted it, Uchiha Isamu would definitely use it as an excuse for the Chunin exam, because he was the last in the Chunin exam.

The session went round and round and failed in the first session.

Although he finally became a chuunin, the first round tour was still a bit...

"Hahaha... isn't this Naoki? I haven't seen you for a few days, why are you acting like this? You were eliminated in the first round."

Naoki Uchiha also remembered how Isamu Uchiha laughed at him loudly.

So Uchiha Naoki chose to ignore Isamu Uchiha to avoid becoming unfortunate.

"There may be life-threatening assessments. It's really dangerous, but don't worry, Xiyan, I will protect you." Yueguang Gale took Uoyuki Xiyan's hand and said softly.

"Haifeng..." Seeing Yueguang Guofeng suddenly grabbing his hand in the crowd, Uoyuki Xiyan's face suddenly turned red.

"I'm a chuunin now, so I should have no problem passing the exam." Uzuki Xi said with a blush.

"Of course I believe in your strength, Xi Yan, but the rules don't mean we can't act together." Moonlight Gale said with a smile.
