Samui calmly responded, "It was Kawasaki who said it himself. If we are interested, he is willing to discuss it in detail. The information is highly credible."
Ai stood up and paced around the room.
The fingers, as thick as carrots, tightened and loosened.
"I never expected that Uchiha Kawasaki would have such great ambitions."
"Mabui, what kind of person do you think this Uchiha Kawasaki is?"
Mabuyi picked up the document in her hand and flipped through a few pages:
“Uchiha Kawasaki is no ordinary person; he had already shown his talent long before we made peace with Konoha.”
"After the Shisui incident, he was suddenly appointed as the unprecedented vice-clan leader by Fugaku, and his influence was felt in various Uchiha decisions thereafter."
"Unlike other Uchiha, Kawasaki Uchiha was not obsessed with power in Konoha."
"Take the initiative to relinquish the power of the Konoha Police Force, allowing the Uchiha clan to extricate themselves from their predicament."
"In our last operation, we defeated Killer Bee, won over the Hyuga clan, and entrusted all the power we had previously held to them."
"Afterwards, they vigorously developed the catering industry, and now Uchiha shops can be seen everywhere in the Land of Rice Fields."
"Konoha also has a related food district, which created huge wealth for the Uchiha clan."
Even the common people of the Uchiha clan were quite wealthy.
"In his political clashes with the Third Hokage, Kawasaki always came out on top."
"Even though Kawasaki is not in the clan, the clan continues to implement Kawasaki's policies until it is effectively separated from Konoha's control."
"Judging from Kawasaki's behavior, he is a restless person with deep thoughts."
"Although he did not suppress the Third Hokage in terms of force, his every move made the Uchiha clan gradually stronger, while the reputation of the Konoha Hokage clan declined."
"In conclusion, it is indeed possible that Uchiha Kawasaki would set up his own faction."
Mabui organized all the information she had gathered and handed it to Ai, who then read it through from beginning to end.
Based on the intelligence brought back by Samui,
It has been confirmed that Uchiha Kawasaki does indeed have ambitions, and the current opportunity is truly a once-in-a-millennium one.
As the village closest to Kirigakure and possessing numerous seagoing vessels, Kumogakure is located in the Land of Lightning.
If they can quickly establish themselves in the Land of Water, they may very well be able to annex the entire Land of Water in the future.
Konoha Village is currently preoccupied with preventing the Uchiha clan from taking any rash actions.
The location of Iwagakure is quite far away; as long as a time difference can be created...
Yunyin has a high chance of winning.
Risks naturally exist.
But for the Cloud Village, known for its fighting prowess, this situation was an unprecedentedly favorable one.
Ai has made up his mind and decided to take immediate action.
However, this information was sent by Kawasaki, so we need to discuss it with him.
Ai clenched his fists tightly: "Summon Tu Tai over immediately."
Samui understood Linglong 100 Ai's decision, and 167 was also somewhat excited.
"Yes."
...
Yuyin Village.
The sky remained overcast, and the rain continued.
Xiao Nan's wings swept across the sky and entered a tall tower.
Payne, controlled by Nagato, is waiting for her.
Have you tried it?
Konan asked.
Payne nodded: "The medicine is fine, and the Rinnegan can indeed suppress it, but the risks are extremely high, so I'm a little hesitant."
"Then let's wait and consider other solutions."
Konan didn't actually approve of Nagato using that potion, since although it had an 80% success rate, failure would mean certain death.
Nagato is not afraid of death, but he carries Yahiko's ideals on his shoulders and will not allow any accidents to happen.
He hoped to find a more reliable solution.
"Kawasaki provided a large amount of funds, of which I have already distributed, and the rest have been exchanged for supplies."
Obito has been hiding, so we don't know how much his strength has increased.
Xiao Nan said with some worry.
What is the situation inside the organization?
Payne asked.
He's been busy testing the things Kawasaki provided lately and hasn't been paying much attention to the organization's affairs.
Konan replied, "At present, Kakuzu is still working as a bounty hunter, and he has been active in the border area of the Land of Fire recently, but his partner has been killed again."
Payne said coldly, "He's always like this. Sooner or later, he'll get rid of everyone in the organization."
He paused for a moment: "We need to promote another new person to be in his group."
Within the entire organization, Kaku is the most enthusiastic about making money. Since being recruited by Nagato, Kaku has basically been in charge of the finances.
Kakuzu sometimes requests the organization's help when he encounters a formidable opponent in order to get a heart transplant, but this is rare.
In the early stages of the Akatsuki organization, it was thanks to Kakuzu that a large fortune was accumulated. Moreover, this guy was a miser who only loved to save money and was reluctant to spend it.
Therefore, he often uses new members as cannon fodder to constantly replenish the team with fresh blood.
Konan shook her head and said, "The newly arrived Hozuki Suigetsu and Zabuza will not abandon Biwa Juzo."
"They are all from Kirigakure and only want to obtain the Executioner's Blade."
Payne nodded: "Let's put it aside for now, and talk about it again when we need manpower for each corner."
"Deidara and Sasori have been wandering around the Land of Lightning lately. After receiving the money, they went to find new materials."
"Do we need to find more excuses to stall for time?"
Payne closed his eyes and shook his head: "The speed is already slow enough. If we drag it out any longer, it will probably arouse suspicion."
After a long talk with Kawasaki, Nagato decided to slow down the organization's development.
On the surface, it's to accumulate strength, but in reality, it's to find an opportunity to recover.
However, the members recruited earlier were all capable individuals, and the organization continued to grow quietly while trying to maintain a low profile.
If things continue like this, we'll soon have to implement the plan to capture the tailed beasts.
...
In the Hidden Rain Village.
Payne found it a bit tricky.
I used to think that building an organization would take a long time.
Whether it's a lack of resources or a scarcity of experts, it all requires years of accumulation.
While remaining wary of the masked man who called himself Madara, he pondered how to capture all the tailed beasts in a short time.
Since partnering with Kawasaki, Kawasaki has completely overturned many traditional practices.
Not only that, he also unconditionally supported the Akatsuki organization, providing money when they needed it, supplying Hashirama cell solutions when they had physical defects, and revealing his trump cards when he was unsure of his options.
He doesn't restrict Nagato from doing anything; he only hopes that Nagato will first strengthen himself and defeat Obito.
Kawasaki's sincere attitude made Nagato feel that being suspicious at a time like this was incredibly ungrateful.
"I plan to contact Kawasaki again."
Payne said in a deep voice.
Konan's face lit up with joy, which meant that Nagato was ready to completely trust Kawasaki and cooperate with him.
For a long time, Nagato has been carrying a heavy burden, with only the two of them relying on each other for survival, and no other allies.
Nagato calculated his chakra and estimated his lifespan every day, running around for the organization, each step as if he were walking on the edge of an abyss.
Beyond this fragile core lies Payne's almost impenetrable military might.
This gradually warped Nagato's mindset.
He believed in his dream of nuclear deterrence and slowly became immersed in the lies woven by Obito.
When Kawasaki revealed all this, Minami's first thought after her initial surprise was to believe him.
Because if what Kawasaki said is true, Nagato will no longer have to bear those burdens, and could even gain a reliable ally.
After Kawasaki's repeated acts of kindness, Nagato finally chose to trust Kawasaki.
This undoubtedly relieved Xiao Nan.
Konan pursed her lips: "I trust your judgment, Nagato."
Payne looked at Konan and nodded: "I plan to contact Kawasaki using my main body."
Xiao Nan paused for a moment, then nodded in agreement.
...
Uchiha territory.
The clansmen who returned from abroad enjoyed two happy days at home.
Then...
Then I started to feel uncomfortable.
Because they had so much free time, they got used to doing missions all day long in Otogakure, with only occasional breaks.
