NOVEL ONLINE FREE Chapter 174: Chapter 174 Playing with Me? You're as Weak as Babies! Defenseless!
"Hey, Lustful Sage, your apprentice Nagato is the leader of the Akatsuki Organization."
Tsunade, the Hokage, then asked, "Alright, I got that. But what does all this have to do with Tanzo Shimura?"
"Because there's another person behind Nagato!"
The Forth Raikage couldn't wait to know. "Come on, spill it! Who on earth is it?"
"Obito Uchiha!"
Just then, Kakashi and Yamato opened the door and walked in. They happened to hear the name Obito Uchiha.
Kakashi stood there, stunned.
Jiraiya thought for a long time before finally recalling who Obito was.
"Obito Uchiha, isn't he the apprentice of the Forth Hokage, Minato Namikaze?"
Naruto glanced at Kakashi. He knew this moment would come sooner or later. It's better to know earlier and make plans. He believed Kakashi had the mental strength to digest this intelligence.
"Obito Uchiha is still alive! And he's the real mastermind behind the Akatsuki Organization." Naruto thought to himself, "Actually, Obito isn't the real mastermind, but there's too much intelligence. I'm afraid they can't handle it all at once. It's enough to reveal this much for now."
Kakashi asked, "Naruto, what the hell are you talking about?"
Kakashi just couldn't believe it. He witnessed Obito's death with his own eyes back then, and Obito's left Sharingan was even transplanted into his own eye socket.
Naruto took out a scroll[b]scroll[/b] from his bosom, unfurled it, and said, "Tanzo Shimura founded the Akatsuki Organization. He selected Obito and Nagato and controlled them by some means."
"Tanzo Shimura kept searching for rogue ninjas from various villages and gathered them all into the Akatsuki Organization. That's how the Akatsuki was formed."
"The goal of the Akatsuki Organization is to collect the Tailed Beasts[b]Tailed Beasts[/b] scattered around the world. They will use these Tailed Beasts[b]Tailed Beasts[/b] to create super - powerful weapons. With these weapons, they will start the Fourth Great Ninja World War, aiming to make Konoha rule the world."
"Tanzo Shimura wants to win this war, unify the world, gain great achievements, and ascend to the position of Hokage, fulfilling his long - unachieved dream."
At this moment, Mito Kado and Neko Azuma lowered their heads. They knew Tanzo Shimura well.
During the Third Great Ninja War, the Third Hokage was eager to cease the fire, while Tanzo Shimura opposed the cease - fire and insisted on continuing the war until a clear victory was achieved.
"This is all Konoha's doing! The blood debt of Kumogakure Village will be counted on you, Konoha! If anything happens to my brother B... Tsunade, you..." The Forth Raikage was like a volcano about to erupt.
Tsunade, the Hokage, was finally in a bind and didn't know what to do.
Naruto snickered to himself and thought, "Humph, scared now? You asked me to tell, and I just said a thing or two. Even you, the Hokage, can't handle the consequences."
Tsunade pretended to be calm on the surface, but in her mind, she was imagining tying Naruto up and punching him hundreds of times like a sandbag.
Tsunade thought, "This Naruto! How could he reveal this kind of intelligence in front of the Raikage? Isn't he forcing me to break off relations with the Raikage?"
Naruto adopted an attitude of "staying aloof and not getting involved". He was secretly wondering who would be stronger if Tsunade and the Raikage fought.
"I've got no idea about these things!" Having no better plan, Tsunade resorted to stalling for time. "This scroll does have Tanzo Shimura's handprint. It details how the Akatsuki Organization was founded, its development over the years, and its future plans."
"But all of this was done by Tanzo Shimura. Two advisor elders, do you know anything about this?" Tsunade intended to shift this thorny issue onto Homura Mitokado and Neko Azuma.
Homura Mitokado and Neko Azuma instantly broke out in cold sweat.
They started silently cursing Tanzo in their hearts. "Damn Tanzo Shimura! Who'd have thought you were up to such schemes? We really misread you."
"Well... about this..." Homura Mitokado stammered and couldn't say a complete sentence for a long time.
Neko Azuma squinted her eyes and remained silent.
"Humph." Naruto snorted. "Where's that smug look gone now? With so many bigwigs here, do you think you can push me around?"
No way. You don't have half as much intelligence as I do. You can't outsmart me 'cause I've got plenty of intel.
In the ninja world, intelligence is king!
I can just talk rubbish and shift the blame back to you, and let you sort out the mess.
"Konoha must give me an explanation!" The Forth Raikage was furious. He recalled the deaths of the villagers in Kumogakure Village. They were so innocent, killed by a schemer like Tanzo Shimura.
Hokage Tsunade was in a tight spot. No matter how she thought about it, she found herself right in the eye of the storm.
Naruto looked relaxed and fell into memories, with thoughts of Hinata filling his mind.
Naruto realized he'd been with Hinata everywhere. Where should he take Hinata next?
Suddenly, Naruto thought, why not break the seal on the Nine-Tailed Fox, let it out, use its tails to make a bed, and be with Hinata on the fox's tails?
Throughout the history of the ninja world, who else has ever used the Nine-Tailed Fox's tails as a bed?
Under the Raikage's relentless pressure, he was almost about to declare war on Konoha.
Hokage Tsunade quickly turned to Naruto for help. She looked at Naruto pleadingly.
"Tsk." Naruto thought to himself: "The whole Kumogakure Village is gone. Why are you scared of him? Just declare war. This Raikage guy needs a taste of his own medicine."
Tsunade didn't want to face war. She hated it to the core and wouldn't start a war easily unless it was a last resort.
Naruto had no choice but to say, "Tanzo Shimura was actually listed as a rogue ninja by Hokage Tsunade a long time ago. Tanzo Shimura is a traitor to Konoha. He's not one of us."
The Raikage angrily asked, "Tanzo Shimura has been missing for more than three years, and Tsunade just became Hokage three years ago. When did you kick Tanzo Shimura out of Konoha?"
"About a year ago." Naruto took out a wanted poster from his pocket.
The wanted poster showed a portrait of Tanzo Shimura, offering a large reward for him, dead or alive. It also bore the Hokage's seal.
Tsunade was stunned and wondered to herself, "When did I issue a wanted poster for Tanzo Shimura?"
I've never signed this thing.
Actually, this wanted poster of Tanzo Shimura was forged by Naruto. Naruto often forges Hokage's documents, and he even dared to forge Yamato's appointment letter.
Naruto was extremely proud of himself. He knew the wanted poster was fake, but would you, Tsunade, dare to acknowledge it?
The Raikage looked at the wanted poster and was speechless. Just one wanted poster of a Rogue Ninja could completely separate Konoha from Tanzo Shimura.
The Raikage asked, "What's going on with this wanted poster?"
"I issued it," Hokage Tsunade immediately admitted. "Tanzo Shimura is a Rogue Ninja from our village. His previous actions have nothing to do with Konoha."
"That's right," Homura Mitokado nodded, confirming Tsunade's statement.
"That's exactly the situation," Neko Azuma quickly chimed in.
Naruto showed a faint smile, looking at these old foxes. In the crucial moment, it still had to be him to come to the rescue.
