After hearing Konan’s reminder, Uehara raised his head to look at the two teams of ninjas that appeared in the canyon.
The leader of one of the groups was wearing Ame’s forehead protector and had a red mark on his face. He looked fairly fierce. He should be Hanzo’s so-called right-hand, Kandachi.
The other team of ninjas was wearing animal masks and standard ninja equipment, and they were far more orderly than Ame’s ninjas.
Is that Konoha’s Root?
Uehara quietly activated his destiny skill, checking if he knew anyone among these Konoha ninjas.
When he activated his destiny skill, Uehara’s expression suddenly changed.
There was some he was familiar with amongst Konoha’s Root ninja, wasn’t he called Yamanaka Fu?
But why did this guy appear?
Was there a conspiracy?
Underground, below the negotiation area.
Black Zetsu muttered gloomily, “Konan has taken the kid, Uehara, to ambush them. As long as they engage in a fierce battle, we can plant the information on one of the ninjas…”
“There won’t be any problems, right?”
White Zetsu said hesitantly, “What if Konan can’t defeat them? Or we’re accidentally discovered…”
“…”
Black Zetsu didn’t care about his words.
It was a pity that the two of them shared the same body. Even if Black Zetsu’s other half was mentally handicapped, he needed to calm him down, “Don’t worry, Konan is not that weak!”
Besides, if Uehara could summon Tendo Pain, how could Konan not summon Pain?”
Black Zetsu had a niggling feeling in his heart. Konan has always been indifferent to the other members of the Akatsuki organization. It could be because Konan had power that exceeded all of them!
According to Black Zetsu’s analysis of Konan, the blue-haired woman didn’t seem to be an arrogant person!
If she thought she could defeat the other members of the Akatsuki, it would mean that she could.
Black Zetsu was correct.
Konan was indeed very confident in her strength.
When Konan saw that Uehara’s expression warp, she gently patted his arm and comforted him, “Uehara, what’s the matter? Don’t be afraid. Everything will be alright with me here…”
“…”
Uehara shook his head speechlessly.
Why does Konan think he’s afraid?
Regardless, he was a ninja with a decent amount of strength!
Does his Sensei still think that he was the Uehara who went to Kirigakure with a mere 100 million exploding tags?
He, Uehara Naraku, was powerful now!
However, watching Konan comfort him, Uehara reluctantly moved to Konan’s side and whispered, “Sensei, let’s take a look at the results of their negotiations! These ninjas seem a bit weird…”
“Okay.”
Konan nodded.
Konan thought that Uehara was frightened by the number of ninjas here. After all, the enemies they faced were different from the past.
Compared with the ninjas in those outposts, these were mostly elite ninjas, and there were even a couple of upper-level jonin captains.
Jonin was the vaguest rank in this world.
Konoha Sannin and golden glitter, who would dare treat them as ordinary Jonin?
Hattori Hirakawa lowered his head and watched the root ninja arrive. He held the ninja sword in his hand and asked aloud, “Are you guys ready yet? Let’s get this over with.”
“…”
Uehara and Konan looked at Hattori Hirakawa as if he was mentally disabled but also felt a bit sorry for him.
Konan was the one who wanted Hanzo and Danzo to cooperate the most among the people present. Once they did, she and Nagato could wipe out their past enemies in one fell swoop.
The development of things did not go as Konan wanted.
As time went by, the negotiation between Kandachi and Konoha ninja Yamanaka Fu seemed to have reached a deadlock.
After a while, the two actually started to quarrel.
The dispute between the two people became louder and louder. Kandachi and Yamanaka retreated and shouted, “On alert!”
SHING!
The sound of the ninja sword from a scabbard rang through the canyon!
Ame ninja appeared one by one, standing on the cliffs of the canyon!
However, a group of Konoha ninjas suddenly appeared on the opposite side of the canyon, watching this place vigilantly, facing the other Ame Ninja!
Neither party trusted the other party.
Yamanaka Fu looked at Kandachi and sternly shouted, “Amegakure has lost its faith and righteousness. You aren’t sincerely forming an alliance!”
“It was clear that you Konoha ninja just want to shirk responsibility!”
Kandachi did not show weakness and loudly accused, “If it weren’t for Shimura Danzo and Konoha Ninja’s retreat, the Akatsuki would have been wiped out!”
“…”
The two continued to blame each other.
In fact, this was the normal routine when the two parties negotiated. They want to hold the other party responsible for their last cooperation to gain an advantage in this negotiation as a victim.
Konoha Root Ninja’s condition was for Hanzo to support Shimura Danzo in becoming Konoha’s Hokage. Then he would send ninja troops to help Hanzo destroy the Akatsuki in the Land of Rain.
Ame Ninja’s condition was, Shimura Danzo must first send people to support Hanzo’s suppression of the Akatsuki organization, and then they would discuss supporting Danzo’s bid to become Hokage.
Both of them were scammers who wanted to cheat others without investing.
Konoha root ninja suffered more in their last cooperation, Shimura Danzo lent some help, but Hanzo did not reciprocate…
Therefore, Danzo instructed his subordinates only to cooperate if Hanzo helped him out first.
As long as Ame and Konoha formed an alliance, he would use the influence of the demigod to try to change the attitude of Konoha’s council…
The Ame ninjas were naturally not happy.
Who knew when Shimura Danzo would become Hokage?
Wasn’t it just like their last collaboration?
Konoha Roots should assist the Amegakure in eliminating the Akatsuki. Once the Akatsuki was dealt with, Hanzo-sama would naturally support Danzo!
The first round of talks between the two sides was never destined to succeed.
Konan looked at the two parties who were verbally blaming and accusing each other. Feeling a little uncomfortable, she asked, “Naraku, do you know what’s happening? The talks… have the talks broken down?”
“Obviously.”
Uehara nodded.
Konan’s brows wrinkled, her face faintly darkened, and she said, “Is Shimura Danzo coming?”
“Isn’t he coming?”
Uehara was also a little confused.
In his memories, Shimura Danzo and Hanzo only cooperated once, and when Pain kills Hanzo, Danzo was nowhere to be seen.
“What are we waiting for!”
Konan’s face darkened, and she gritted her teeth and whispered, “Then we will kill everyone present to get a little interest!”
“What?”
Uehara glances at his Sensei in confusion.
But this did not affect Uehara’s judgment. Seeing Konan was about to rush out, Uehara quickly grabs Konan’s wrist and pulls her back to his side!
“Sensei, don’t be impulsive!”
Uehara hurriedly held Konan, watching her puzzled gaze, and softly explained, “Sensei, let’s observe the situation first. We could try other plans depending on what happens.”
He must not let the dark conspiracy lurking outside succeed!
Although Uehara doesn’t know of Black Zetsu plans…
But!
As a person who wants to become the mastermind behind the Akatsuki, he always moved to disrupt his competitors’ plans!
