The Five Shadows Conference was held again, but this time there was less gunpowder.

The Third Hokage's eyes scanned the entire venue, meeting the eyes of the other four shadows one by one, and finally said slowly: "I believe you all already understand the threat of the Akatsuki organization!"

The three villages of Kirigakure, Iwagakure, Kumogakure, and Sunagakure sent people to try to kidnap Sasuke. The third generation has already mastered it through Kakashi.

But now is obviously not the time to settle scores with these villages.

Because after repeated evaluations by the intelligence team, the high-end combat power of the Akatsuki organization is no less than that of any great ninja village.

Considering that the Akatsuki organization is a secretive organization, its personnel move covertly and quickly.

On a small local battlefield, if any of the five great ninja villages encountered the Akatsuki organization, they would probably not get the slightest advantage.

Therefore, the strength of the five major ninja villages must be gathered to solve the hidden danger of the Akatsuki organization.

Hearing something in the Third Hokage's words, the Fourth Raikage was a little annoyed and snorted heavily.

The Fourth Mizukage said: "This Akatsuki organization is different from ordinary bounty ninja organizations. They continue to recruit rebellious ninjas from each village to expand their strength. There must be a bigger conspiracy!"

The third Tsuchikage and the fourth Kazekage nodded in unison.

Everyone is a human being, and they held each other back before. That was because they didn't take the Akatsuki organization seriously, thinking that it was just a bounty ninja organization with some strength.

Now that they know about the Akatsuki organization, especially after confirming that the Akatsuki organization has the ability to shake the dominance of the five major ninja villages in the ninja world, everyone naturally pays attention to it.

Once you pay attention to it, you can tell from many of the actions of the Akatsuki organization that the Akatsuki organization has great intentions.

The Fourth Raikage frowned and asked directly: "What exactly do they want to do?"

The meeting fell silent for a moment.

Everyone, look at me and I look at you, no one speaks easily.

The intelligence network of the five great ninja villages covers almost every corner of the ninja world. It stands to reason that once the five great ninja villages become serious, any organization in the ninja world will have no escape from the intelligence network of the five great ninja villages.

The Akatsuki Organization is an exception.

Each village launched its own intelligence network and launched a rigorous investigation into the Akatsuki organization. As a result, no useful intelligence was found.

Where the Akatsuki organization's lair is is a mystery!

The purpose of forming the Akatsuki organization is also a mystery!

Even who the leader of the Akatsuki organization is, no one can tell.

After paying attention to the Qixiao organization, everyone realized later that this organization is so mysterious and full of so many mysteries.

Seeing the slight silence, the Third Tsuchikage Onoki pondered for a moment: "Our top priority now is to obtain information about the Akatsuki organization!"

The Fourth Kazekage said: "Capture one or two of their members, and you will know where their organization's lair is!"

boom!

The Fourth Raikage smashed the long table in front of him with one punch, stood up and said: "Okay, let's do this!"

The Third Hokage said helplessly: "Lord Raikage, please be patient! The members of the Akatsuki organization are extremely powerful, and according to the intelligence we have collected so far, they rarely act alone. They usually work in groups of two or three.

group, it is not an easy task to arrest them."

The Fourth Raikage said angrily: "Huh, many of them are traitors to your village. You have the responsibility to share the information about those traitors."

The Fourth Kazekage nodded slightly: "Later, Sunagakure will compile a piece of information about the Red Sand Scorpion."

Onoki sighed and said: "That's all, we Iwagakure will also share the information about Deidara!"

The Fourth Mizukage looked calm: "We Kirigakure will sort out the information about Loquat Juzo."

The representative of Taki Ninja Village stood up and saluted: "We will compile an information about Kakuzu as soon as possible. We, Taki Ninja Village, would like to apologize again for Kakuzu joining the Akatsuki organization!"

After the representative of Taki Ninja Village spoke, everyone's eyes fell on the Third Hokage.

The Third Hokage said: "Konoha will share the information about Uchiha Itachi with everyone!"

Onoki snorted coldly: "There must be more than one Uchiha Itachi!"

The Third Hokage frowned: "Your Excellency Tsuchikage, we in Konoha really know nothing about the information about other Uchihas in the Akatsuki organization!"

Onoki asked: "Sarutobi Hiruzen, tell me, where did those Uchiha come from? Did they appear out of thin air?"

The Fourth Kazekage added: "We Sunagakure have received information that your disciple Orochimaru, Hokage-dono, is also suspected of joining the Akatsuki organization."

The Fourth Mizukage nodded lightly: "Yes, we Kirigakure have also received relevant news!"

Obviously.

Once the five great ninja villages took it seriously, many pieces of information that had been ignored before were investigated one by one. For example, Orochimaru's joining the Akatsuki organization was investigated by Sunagakure and Kirigakure.

Orochimaru, who was sitting in the outer circle and pretended to be the representative of the Sound Ninja Village, grinned slightly.

He looked at his teacher, wondering how this Hokage, known as the 'Ninja Hero', would respond to the aggressive questioning from other Ninja Villages!

The Third Hokage's face darkened: "Orochimaru's information will be shared with us in Konoha!"

Orochimaru shook his head slightly and thought, "Are you really still old?"

For a moment, an idea came to his mind. Instead of watching the teacher lose his spirit little by little as he aged, it would be better to let the teacher die in a gorgeous battle!

At least this way, he won't be looked down upon by other villages because of his old age.

With the Third Hokage's compromise, the other four shadows calmed down a bit.

Everyone also knows that Konoha's assistance is indispensable in dealing with the Akatsuki organization this time, so the quarrel is a quarrel and the matter still needs to be discussed.

The Fourth Raikage suddenly suggested: "Several of your villages have rebel ninjas who have joined the Akatsuki organization, but we, Kumogakure, have not, so I think this action against the Akatsuki organization should be directed by us, Kumogakure!"

The Third Tsuchikage Onoki immediately said: "Why? Huh, is it just because you have killed so many people?"

The Fourth Raikage was furious: "What did you say!?"

Ohnoki was unmoved and crossed his arms: "Although I am old, I am not deaf, so I don't need you to yell so loudly!"

The Third Hokage quickly stopped him: "Your Excellency Raikage, this is the meeting of the Five Shadows. Please be careful of your words and deeds!"

The Fourth Mizukage was also dissatisfied with Raikage's rudeness: "If you want to command the action, you can't just rely on your voice! I propose that whoever can get the key information within the Akatsuki organization can get this time

Destroy the Akatsuki organization’s operational command authority!”

After hearing Mizukage's suggestion, all the Kages present began to consider it.

Such a big operation must be under unified command, and all five shadows know this. But if they just want to get command with empty words, no one will agree.

The result is just constant bickering.

Therefore, Mizukage's proposal is very practical. After all, being able to obtain key information within the Akatsuki organization proves its own strength.

It is reasonable and reasonable to obtain the command authority of actions under such circumstances!

"As long as we can contact Itachi, we can obtain the intelligence of the Akatsuki organization, and then we can legitimately gain command of the operation!"

At this thought, the Third Hokage was the first to agree: "I agree with the proposal of Lord Mizukage!"

"Hmph, once we, Kumogakure, capture one or two members of the Akatsuki organization and torture them out of the Akatsuki organization's lair, we, Kumogakure, will have the command of the operation!" After some thought, the Fourth Raikage also expressed:

"Okay, let's do it! Whoever can obtain the information will lead this operation!"

The Third Tsuchikage squinted his eyes and weighed it for a while, and finally nodded: "We Iwagakure have no objections!"

Although Deidara joined the Akatsuki organization, he has not done any bad deeds so far, so Ohnoki considered finding a way to pull Deidara out of the Akatsuki organization and obtain information about the Akatsuki organization from Deidara.

The Fourth Kazekage and Elder Chiyo, who was sitting in the outer circle, communicated with each other with their eyes, and then said: "We Sunagakure have no objection, but what is the key information?"

The Third Hokage said solemnly: "The information about the leader of the Akatsuki organization, the location of the Akatsuki organization's lair, and the composition of the Akatsuki organization. If any village can be the first to obtain these pieces of information, then the command of this operation will be handed over to that village.

!”

"agree!"

"good!"

"So be it!"

"Um!"

All four figures nodded.

outer ring.

The representative of Taki Ninja Village breathed a sigh of relief.

Because of Kakuzu, they were under a lot of pressure. After all, their Taki Ninja Village was just a small Ninja Village and did not have the strength to compete with the five major Ninja Villages.

In addition, there is a tailed beast in Taki Ninja Village.

If the five major ninja villages used this incident to challenge them and demand the tailed beasts, they would really have no way to resist.

Fortunately, the five major ninja villages are currently competing for the command of this operation, and they are checking and balancing each other. They can't take care of them for a while, so they escaped.

Several representatives of the Grass Ninja Village looked embarrassed when they saw that the Five Kages sitting in the inner circle had decided on the rules for dealing with the Akatsuki organization without consulting them at all.

Among them, the grass ninja village elder who came to Konoha later said in his heart: "These arrogant guys simply don't take us grass ninjas seriously. It seems that the 'Tailed Beast Project' will be launched again. Otherwise, we grass ninjas will never

There’s no chance of success!”

The two representatives from Yuren Village looked at each other, then lowered their eyes, showing an attitude of obeying the arrangement.
