While the Chunin Exams were in full swing in Konoha, the Akatsuki organization was also not idle.
Nagato felt that this was a perfect opportunity.
The focus of the four major ninja villages, Konoha, Iwagakure, Sunagakure and Kumogakure, are all on the Chunin Exam. Even the village Kage has gone to Konoha.
Taking advantage of this time, Nagato sped up the progress, and even Pain and Konan were dispatched together, accelerating the pace of encroaching on small countries.
If it weren't for the fact that Akatsuki has just started to act and it's not the time for a showdown with the five major ninja villages, this would be the best time to snatch the tailed beast.
The Kages from each village were gone, and had taken some of the ninjas with them, so an attack would be the easiest and most likely to succeed now.
For a small country like Tian Kingdom that has no ninja village and is politically corrupt, we can use White Zetsu's powerful intelligence capabilities to collect evidence of the crimes of important officials, threaten them, and then bribe them.
Like those small countries with ninja villages, they used White Zetsu's powerful intelligence capabilities to cause disputes between the two countries. In the end, Akatsuki helped at a bargain price and monopolized war commissions.
With the full efforts of Akatsuki, the war capabilities of several small countries were soon controlled by Akatsuki.
While disrupting the war commission market, Akatsuki did not stop making money. They basically did any mission as long as the price was high.
Including but not limited to assassinating officials, killing powerful ninjas and stealing confidential documents.
In fact, as long as the money is enough, and as long as they are not asked to commit suicide or attack the five major ninja villages, the Akatsuki organization will basically do it.
As long as you can afford the money, I can defeat you in any village, such as Kusagakure or Takiguro.
Of course, most people can't afford this money, and those who can afford it won't be bored and let Akatsuki do this.
Due to its fast mission completion speed and rare failures, Akatsuki has now gained a certain reputation in the dark side of the ninja world.
Everything was going according to Nagato's plan.
Accumulate money, monopolize wars among small countries, and disrupt the existing system established by the five major powers.
Moreover, during this process, he carefully avoided direct contact with the five major countries and did not accept the assassination of important figures from the five major countries.
Therefore, although he became famous in the dark side, he did not attract the attention of the five major countries.
Of course, this is also related to the confidence of the five major countries themselves.
They never care about so-called ninja organizations, no matter how big or small they are.
Because no matter how powerful a ninja organization is, it is only at the same level as an ordinary small ninja village. In fact, most of them are far inferior.
The five major ninja villages can easily crush the smaller ninja villages, so of course they won’t care.
In fact, the reason why small ninja villages and small countries can exist is simply because the big countries do not want to border them directly and need a buffer zone. This is the key to the survival of small countries.
Otherwise, with the strength of the five major countries, if they directly dispatch high-level combat forces, the small countries will have no way to resist.
"If we continue to develop like this for a few more years, we should be able to proceed to the next plan." On the top floor of the tower in the Rain Country, Pain was talking to Obito about the situation of the Akatsuki organization.
Obito hummed, then nodded. Because he was wearing a mask, Nagato couldn't see the other person's expression, so he didn't know if he was satisfied or what, but Nagato felt that he must be satisfied.
After all, this is their common goal.
"You should find a way to deal with Konoha. Konoha is too strong now. If you don't find a way to deal with Konoha, I'm afraid the chaotic moment we want will never come." Obito said in a deep voice.
He had already learned about the situation of the Akatsuki organization through Zetsu, and listening to Nagato's story was just to test Nagato's situation.
"Because Konoha is too powerful, it will arouse the fear of other countries, and then it will be impossible to create chaos."
"Konoha? It's a bit tricky..." When Pain heard the word Konoha, his expressionless face changed slightly and his brows wrinkled.
"Before, I was so busy with the organization's plans that I didn't expect Konoha to become so powerful quietly."
“These big countries are our biggest enemies.
Although they possess the best and largest resources, they are still not satisfied and want greater benefits. They constantly wage wars for this purpose, causing countless tragedies and pains.
The five great nations and five great ninja villages are the greatest evil in the ninja world! And Konoha is the worst of all evils! "Thinking of his own experiences and the people who were displaced by the war, Pain expressed his evaluation of Konoha.
After listening to Pain's somewhat childish speech, Obito felt nothing inside and even felt like laughing.
The five great nations are the most evil, are you the god who saves the world
It's interesting that he is just a puppet that has been arranged. With so many things happening around him, he can still be so naive.
Although he looks down on Pain in his heart, Obito will not say it out loud. He thinks Pain is a useful chess piece and has great value for the time being.
"Although Konoha is extremely evil, the problem is that we don't have a good way to deal with this extreme evil." Obito said in a hoarse voice.
"We have to test their strength. The information about Konoha is too vague. Although we know that they are very strong, our specific strength is not clear." Pain said after thinking for a while.
White Zetsu knew a lot of information and was also one of the few people who could sneak into Konoha during this period, but Obito did not let White Zetsu tell Nagato that information.
Obito didn't want Nagato to know that he had failed in Konoha.
As Uchiha Madara, he must maintain his mystery.
"If you just want to test your strength, I have something pretty good here." Obito suddenly remembered the ultimate summoning beast he caught by chance when he went to the Sea Kingdom before.
Although those small countries are not very powerful, they can occasionally produce some geniuses and come up with some interesting things.
That ultimate summoning beast can actually gain the abilities of other summoning beasts by devouring them, while also enhancing its own strength.
It's a bit like Hiruko's Demon Sprouting Technique. The Demon Sprouting Technique plunders the bloodline limit, and the Ultimate Summoning Beast plunders the abilities of the Summoning Beast.
Even the Ultimate Summoning Beast is more terrifying in its performance, because Kirara cannot swallow Kekkei Genkai at random, while the Ultimate Summoning Beast can eat any kind of Summoning Beast at will.
Obito rarely catches summoning beasts to feed the Ultimate Summoning Beast now, because that guy grows too fast. He does nothing but eat and eat, and now he has the strength of a Kage.
Moreover, he is extremely difficult to deal with among the Kage level, because that guy has mastered too many abilities. After eating a bird summoning beast, he gained wings that can fly. After eating a bat summoning beast that can release illusions through calls, he can also release illusions through sound.
If you let it eat it again, God knows what will happen.
It is because he has the Mangekyō and Hashirama cells that his childish power is so strong that he can forcibly suppress it through illusion.
Obito felt that if he released the Ultimate Summoning Beast, it might create an extremely terrifying creature.
After all, the ultimate psychic beast only has the most basic biological instincts and only cares about eating. It might eat the entire planet clean up.
The purpose of Obito collecting the tailed beasts is the Infinite Tsukuyomi, and the purpose of unleashing the Infinite Tsukuyomi is to resurrect Rin and to go to that happy dream world without war and pain.
Destroying the world is not his ideal, so he will not let the Ultimate Summoning Beast cause trouble.
"In the long past, I once obtained a terrifying monster that was powerful enough to destroy a country and even the ninja world. Konoha happened to be holding the Chunin Exam at this time. If I bring it to Konoha, it should be able to accomplish your idea."
Obito briefly told Nagato about the Ultimate Summoning Beast.
"A summoned beast that can devour and grow infinitely and has no reason... If it is really as you said, it is indeed a monster that has the potential to destroy the ninja world." A hint of surprise flashed in Payne's eyes.
Although I have speculated that there is something wrong with this guy, he may not be the legendary Uchiha Madara.
But because they had a common goal, and Obito helped him get rid of his archenemy Hanzo, he didn't care.
I didn't expect that this 'Uchiha Madara' actually hid such a terrifying monster.
'This guy has a very deep background. I don't know how many tricks he has hidden. Even if he is not the real Uchiha Madara, he is still a powerful existence.' Pein thought to himself.
"After I feed him a little, I'll throw it to Konoha and see how Konoha will deal with it and what methods the number one ninja village has." Obito told Nagato his plan.
Payne nodded slightly to show his understanding.
There are too many people in Konoha now, and many of them are important people.
In this case, even if Akatsuki does not send people to check the situation, a large amount of information will eventually flow into the ninja world and be obtained by Akatsuki.
After talking with Nagato about how to deal with Konoha, Obito left soon after. He walked out the door and used Kamui to leave.
After experiencing the night of the Nine-Tails, he knew how powerful Konoha was and how terrifying Nagase's strength was.
If it was just an Ultimate Summoning Beast with the strength of a Kage, I'm afraid Konoha could just send two strong men to deal with it, and it would be impossible to see Konoha's true strength at all.
So he was going to feed all the summoning beasts prepared before to the Ultimate Summoning Beast, making this guy a real monster, a real Ultimate Summoning Beast.
By then, the Ultimate Summoning Beast will have the abilities of all Summoning Beasts in the Ninja World, and it will be truly "Ultimate".
However, the Ultimate Summoning Beast at that time would probably be extremely terrifying, and even his Kaleidoscope would be unable to control it.
But he is Madara's successor after all. In addition to his hard power, he also has some other means. He can do some things inside the body of the Ultimate Summoning Beast before it grows up.
Although this still cannot control the Ultimate Summoning Beast, it can make it stay put before being sent to Konoha, instead of drooling at Obito and then swallowing him in one gulp.
As for going to Konoha, even if he didn't control it, with such a dense supply of "food", Obito didn't believe that the brainless monster, the Ultimate Summoning Beast, could control his desires.
"Nagato, will this guy stand with us in the end? I feel like he only wants to use us, and he is very dangerous." Konan, who had been standing next to Pain without saying a word, spoke after Obito left.
Like Nagato Yahiko, she is a war orphan with similar experiences. They finally meet each other by chance and the three of them depend on each other for survival.
Like Nagato Yahiko, Konan, who became an orphan because of the war, also longs for peace.
But relatively speaking, her desire was not as strong and burning as Yahiko's, so she just stood silently behind Yahiko and behind Nagato.
Maybe it was female intuition, or maybe the timing of the appearance of the so-called Uchiha Madara was too coincidental. Konan has always disliked him and felt that the so-called Uchiha Madara had some plans for them and had no good intentions.
"Since he dares to call himself 'Uchiha Madara' and possesses such strength, it goes without saying that he is dangerous.
But for our plan, in order to make the world feel pain and thus make the world peaceful, such dangerous guys are what we need.
Aren't our members in danger? Many of them are extremely dangerous S-rank rebels, but they are now earning a lot of money for the Akatsuki organization, which also allows our plan to proceed smoothly."
This time, Pain said surprisingly much. Apart from some childish declarations, Pain actually didn't talk much. It was only to Konan that he explained so much.
Because now Xiaonan is the only precious person he has left.
"They are different. That 'Uchiha Madara' is more dangerous than anyone else." Konan shook her head. The rebellious ninjas in their organization might be dangerous to ordinary ninjas, but not to her.
But the feeling that Uchiha Madara gave her was completely different; he was a truly dangerous character.
"I know. I am also wary of him. Don't worry, Konan. With these eyes, there is no way I can lose to anyone," Pain said confidently, pointing at his Rinnegan.
The Rinnegan is very different from ordinary eyes. It is purple in color, with circles spreading out from the pupil as the center.
This pair of legendary immortal eyes is Nagato's greatest reliance.
The Rinnegan has many extremely powerful abilities, which are terrifying powers that other ninjas cannot cultivate in their entire lives.
Unfortunately, in his first battle with Hanzo, his legs were injured by Hanzo's explosive fire array. Because his Samsara Eye was over-consumed, his legs could not be used for agile movements in battle, and he couldn't even walk.
So Nagato created the Six Paths of Pain and let them move around outside. Each Pain could use one ability of his Rinnegan.
With such powerful eyes, Nagato is not afraid of the unknown 'Uchiha Madara', and he is confident that he can deal with any crisis.
When he finishes collecting the tailed beasts, develops a new and terrifying forbidden technique, and develops a tailed beast weapon with unprecedented power that can destroy a country with a single blow, the first person he may liquidate is the dangerous element 'Uchiha Madara'.
"It's good that you're alert. I'm afraid you'll be deceived by that guy." Seeing that Nagato was confident, Konan didn't say anything else.
She wasn't a person with her own opinions, so if Nagato wanted to do it, then she would just help.
