128. The Five Shadows Talk To Akatsuki Organization

The intelligence regarding the Akatsuki organization has been shared here. Except for Kirigakure knowing the reason why he was targeted by Uchiha Obito, there is nothing that only the Five Great Hidden Villages should pay attention to, except, of course, the Rinnegan.

But everyone here is the Kage of their respective village. Until Yagami would not bother himself with these boring histories of fortune and transformation, no one interrupted Yagami's sharing.

"The reason why Uchiha Obito needs to be singled out is not because he started the Nine Tails Rebellion but because he possesses the Mangekyō Sharingan.

Speaking of which, this is also a secret for us, Uchiha.

According to legend, within our clan, there exists a stone tablet left by the Sage of Six Paths.

The content recorded on the stone tablet can only be interpreted by the Mangekyō Sharingan.

In addition to recording some of the Uchiha clan's Forbidden Techniques, it also contains information about a large-scale genjutsu capable of affecting the entire ninja world: Infinite Tsukuyomi."

Infinite Tsukuyomi is an exceedingly overbearing technique that can trap people in a never-ending illusion.

In this illusion, everyone experiences the world they desire, rendering them completely inactive in the real world.

This action aligns with the Akatsuki organization's original intent for peace! However, the conditions for performing this technique are very complex, requiring the power of all nine-tailed beasts.

"That's why Uchiha Obito launched the Nine Tails Rebellion, took control of the Fourth Mizukage, and captured Rōshi!"

Ōnoki suddenly raised his head and said that after hearing this, he had already pieced together the Akatsuki organization's plan, the reason behind Rōshi's disappearance, and the significance of the war he fought with Kumogakure shinobi.

"That's pretty much it! So, your Five Great Hidden Villages are the ultimate targets of the Akatsuki organization. However, for now, they are still consolidating their strength and haven't started large-scale operations yet."

Yagami nodded and said no more, losing interest in continuing to elaborate. The purpose of his speech had been achieved.

The Akatsuki organization's target is the tailed beasts within each village, and Iwagakure's Jinchūriki has already been taken. For the ninja villages, which see the tailed beasts as a cornerstone of their power, such actions cannot be allowed to continue.

"I have a question. Does the Infinite Tsukuyomi recorded on your Uchiha Stone Tablet really exist? If..."

The Third Hokage asked. Despite his many years as Hokage, he had never heard of such a thing.

"You cannot afford to take chances with this. Izanagi, a Forbidden Technique of the Sharingan, is recorded on the stone tablet. It would make no sense for Infinite Tsukuyomi to be a falsehood. After all, this stone tablet was left behind by the Sage of Six Paths.

It's understandable how extraordinary its contents might seem.

Furthermore, according to the records of eye awakenings within our Uchiha clan, among the techniques associated with the Mangekyō Sharingan, there exists a genjutsu called Tsukuyomi.

Its effect is similar to Infinite Tsukuyomi, though the range is significantly smaller.

Just a fraction of it."

"In my view, the difference between Tsukuyomi and Infinite Tsukuyomi lies only in their execution. Tsukuyomi is cast using the Mangekyō Sharingan, while Infinite Tsukuyomi is activated by projecting the technique onto the moon."

When Yagami finished speaking, the room fell into silence—not due to the shock of Infinite Tsukuyomi nor the Akatsuki organization's intent to seize their tailed beasts.

After all, these were the Five Great Hidden Villages. If they panicked over the plans of a rebel ninja organization, they would not hold their current status.

The main issue is that among the information shared by Yagami, Konoha-related matters occupy far too much attention!

Be it Infinite Tsukuyomi or the Rinnegan, these are closely tied to Konoha. Matters like these, capable of shaking the entire ninja world, seem to stem from internal conflicts within Konoha's ranks!

But why drag the rest of us into this mess? Why is Konoha always at the centre of everything?

Except for Rasa, the other Kage felt as though they had swallowed something unpleasant.

As for Sarutobi Hiruzen, his feelings were even more conflicted. If not for Danzo, Jiraiya's involvement, and the Akatsuki organization possessing the Rinnegan, Uchiha wouldn't have this attitude now.

If the Uchiha clan had remained in Konoha and wielded power like the Rinnegan, what kind of unparalleled force would Konoha have become?

"Alright, I've shared all the information I have.

Don't overthink it, and assume I intend to manipulate you into dealing with the Akatsuki organization.

Although Uchiha Obito has his grudges with us, this is ultimately an internal matter of the Uchiha clan. We won't drag you into our problems. The reason I'm sharing this is because we're partners now, and we don't want our cooperation disrupted. Consider this a reminder and a show of sincerity from the Uchiha clan."

Seeing the silent room, Yagami had to break the tension himself. His goal was achieved, and he had no desire to linger while the Kage exchanged glances.

"By the way, Kazekage-sama, you may think the Akatsuki organization hasn't affected Sunagakure, but I must point out that the death of the Third Kazekage may involve the Akatsuki organization.

After all, Sasori attempted to assassinate the Third Kazekage numerous times.

He failed every time.

Now, Sasori is a member of the Akatsuki organization, and the Third Kazekage has disappeared.

No one can say for certain what happened."

When Yagami saw Rasa acting indifferent to the situation, he couldn't resist ensuring Sunagakure shared some accountability. Why should one of the Five Great Hidden Villages sit this out?

Why not drag the entire ninja world to have tea with the Akatsuki organization?

After all, the Third Kazekage was killed by Sasori and turned into a puppet, and Sasori is part of the Akatsuki organization. Even if Akatsuki isn't directly responsible, they must bear the blame!

Hearing this, Rasa's expression changed drastically. The death of the Third Kazekage had always been a mystery, and even three wars had erupted due to his disappearance. If the Akatsuki organization was involved, this matter would escalate beyond measure.

"Since we're all here, let's formally discuss the Akatsuki organization and hold a Five Kage Summit! I think you all agree!"

Ōnoki said directly. As the only village among the Five Great Hidden Villages to lose a Jinchūriki, Iwagakure was long past the point of patience. Regardless of whether the Akatsuki organization was targeting tailed beasts, the loss of a Jinchūriki left Iwagakure without a crucial deterrent.

In the last conflict with Kumogakure, Iwagakure suffered greatly because their Jinchūriki wasn't present. Had the Jinchūriki been in the village, they wouldn't have been so disadvantaged early in the war.

"I have no objections! It's just a rebel ninja organization—let's eliminate them!"

"The humiliation Akatsuki brought to Kirigakure must be avenged!"

"I agree as well. An organization causing chaos for no reason shouldn't exist!"

Ōnoki's proposal received immediate support from the Raikage, Mizukage, and Kazekage. Sarutobi Hiruzen could only nod in agreement.

After all, neither Pain nor Uchiha Obito could be handled solely by Konoha. There was no other option but to participate. It wasn't as though he could keep hoping for peace talks and handshakes.

Damn you, Danzo! You die and leave all this chaos for me to clean up…

"Wait a moment! I have no objections to a Five Kage Summit, but can I first take the people I came for? I still need to bring back the candidates for training!"

Yagami quickly interjected. The Uchiha clan had no intention of participating in the Five Kage Summit. Though they sought to counter the Akatsuki organization, they had no desire for Uchiha members to step onto the stage!

So, Yagami sought to leave with his people and let the Kage handle the planning themselves.

Who knows how many explosive tags Konan has prepared? Hopefully, the Hidden Villages are prepared to withstand what's coming.
