Tsunade was surprised.

At the time, Jiraiya was unsure whether his disciples were dead, and he was saddened for a while.

It seems they are still alive and well.

"No, Lady Tsunade, we are not dead. It's just that news from the Land of Rain is very poor, which means that the outside world knows very little about our most certain internal situation."

Xiao Nan explained.

The closed-door policy pursued by Hanzo the Salamander naturally brought about this series of problems.

"This is the content of the transaction."

Kiyoshi threw the giant scroll he was carrying on his back, interrupting their conversation.

Konan took them and quickly pulled out a few ninja tools to inspect them.

After confirming that everything was correct, she handed the box she was carrying to Kiyoshi.

"Could we go and take a look inside the Akatsuki organization?"

Kiyoshi said.

Xiao Nan frowned slightly, knowing that Xiao would definitely leak a lot of secrets.

On second thought, it's normal for Kiyoshi Uchiha to be the Akatsuki's largest arms supplier, so a close partnership is to be expected.

So he nodded and led the way.

"Let's go, Tsunade-sensei."

Kiyoshi turned his head to look at Tsunade, waiting for her reply.

Tsunade said "Okay".

She was also curious about the current situation of the three disciples that Jiraiya had taught.

Chapter 280 Reunion with Konan, Kurenai's Jealousy

The three walked for a while in the rainforest and encountered the Akatsuki members who stayed behind to protect Konan.

"They are honored guests."

Seeing that Wei Tuo Tian Jiu Zhu and the others looked wary, Xiao Nan took the initiative to explain.

"Xiao's base is very dilapidated, please don't mind it."

Konan turned back to Kiyoshi and Tsunade and added a sentence.

"It doesn't matter."

Kiyoshi shook his head and casually glanced at Idaten Kyūsuke.

As the most beautiful member of the Akatsuki organization, Konan naturally receives many confessions of love and advances.

One of them was Idaten Kyūsuke, who wrote a love letter to Konan and asked her to come out to confess his feelings.

This startled Yahiko and Nagato, who quickly ran over to eavesdrop.

In the end, Konan politely declined, citing that she didn't have time to date before realizing her dream of joining the Akatsuki organization.

To put it simply, he's a total simp.

He was eventually killed by Obito.

"fine."

Tsunade said.

Akatsuki was a newly formed organization with limited funds, so it was normal for their base to be rudimentary.

What intrigued Tsunade was the size of the Akatsuki organization.

Judging from their uniforms, they must have a fairly complete organizational system.

This is not something that can be achieved with small-scale efforts.

The group then slowly walked towards the Akatsuki's base.

In the distance, a vast open space can be vaguely seen, where rubble is swirling and small puddles have formed in the deeper parts of the ground.

Weeds grew on it, forming a swampy area.

"Our base is not far from the village we visited last time."

Xiao Nan Xiang Qing Si Dao.

This is the place where Shennong and Qingsi fought.

The two men's undisguised and fierce battle had a profound impact on the terrain, and the cracked valley could be seen in the distance.

"Yeah."

Kiyoshi said calmly, glancing casually at the terrain he had created.

The central battlefield of the Fourth Shinobi World War was completely ravaged.

In the end, Naruto and the others went to Kaguya's alternate dimension to fight.

Sasuke and Naruto's final battles also took place in lakes and the sky.

The power of ninjutsu at its later stages is such that destroying the ninja world is not just talk; it truly possesses that power.

"I can't imagine what would happen if you learned 'superhuman strength'."

From the whispered conversation between Konan and Kiyoshi, Tsunade deduced that this was the location of Kiyoshi and Shinno's battle.

She learned some information about this place from the old man; it was the remnants of the Sky Kingdom causing trouble.

"Whether I learn it or not, I will always be your disciple."

Kiyoshi turned his head and smiled.

If he learns "super strength" and combines it with his own physical strength, then in terms of sheer power alone, perhaps no one in the entire ninja world can compare to him.

It's hard to say whether it's Isshiki Otsutsuki, who could kick the "Complete Susanoo" to pieces with one kick.

Kiyoshi had neither fought against him nor witnessed the hardness of "Susanoo," so there was no data to analyze.

"Yes, that shows a strong respect for teachers."

Tsunade smiled with satisfaction.

Despite her advanced age, she has a very simple mind.

They had no idea that beneath the facade of filial piety and respect between teacher and student, Kiyoshi harbored a secret desire to disrespect his ancestors.

……

"Hmm? The Uchiha clan made contact with Akatsuki?"

In a spacious, quiet room, Hanzo the Salamander listened to his subordinate's report and raised a question.

He was wearing a gas mask.

"Yes, Lord Hanzo. Konoha and Iwagakure have chosen our Land of Rain as the location for the signing ceremony. The people from Konoha arrived ahead of time and made contact with the Akatsuki."

The ninja who reported to Hanzo the Salamander was also wearing a gas mask.

This is because Hanzo the Salamander's toxins attack everyone indiscriminately. Even if Hanzo smells the toxins leaking from his own body, he will become immobilized due to the toxins.

"I warmly welcome forces that resolve issues peacefully, as this would bring me one step closer to my dream of peace among the five major powers..."

Hanzo the Salamander changed the subject and continued:

"However, Akatsuki... was Jiraiya's apprentice back then, so there's probably someone behind him."

He is a suspicious person.

The Land of Rain is now riddled with problems and rife with undercurrents. Its unique geographical location borders three major powers, which has led to the infiltration of numerous forces.

"Hehe, Lord Hanzo is overthinking it."

Danzo Shimura emerged from the shadows, not wearing his usual robes, but dressed in a smart ninja outfit.

Behind the lightweight ninja vest was a ninja sword.

"Jiraiya taught these three ninjutsu out of a moment of pity, but he has had no further contact with them since returning to his country. This is something that Lord Hanzo can easily find out."

"good."

Sanshoku Hanzo nodded slightly; the facts were indeed as Shimura Danzo had said.

He had only speculated that such a possibility existed.

"As for Tsunade going out with Uchiha Kiyoshi, she must have been bewitched by the evil Uchiha. They had been in contact before."

Danzo Shimura revealed Kiyoshi's personal actions.

He had already obtained the relevant intelligence regarding Kiyoshi's last escort mission.

This includes the trade of ninja tools between Kiyoshi and the Akatsuki organization.

"Personal behavior..."

Hanzo the Salamander looked at Danzo Shimura.

He also did not believe in Shimura Danzo.

They just wanted to take advantage of the situation to eliminate the Akatsuki organization.

For forces seeking to resolve issues peacefully, Amegakure is sufficient.

To the Land of Rain, all other forces are heretics!

What are your thoughts, Lord Danzo?

Sanshoyu Hanzodo.

"I will help you suppress Xiao."

"Shimura Danzo said in a deep voice."

He cannot allow the Land of Rain to be completely at peace; he needs to incite war.

When Shimura Danzo learned that Hiruzen Sarutobi had agreed to the peace treaty with Iwagakure from the rear, he almost jumped up and cursed.

Iwagakure couldn't hold on any longer, but Konoha still had some strength left.

As a result, Hiruzen Sarutobi chose not to accept any compensation and only requested peace.

Only a soft-hearted Hiruzen Sarutobi would do something so stupid.

He had another plan in mind.

That is to let Hanzo destroy Akatsuki. Akatsuki has absorbed many young and ambitious people from the Land of Rain. Destroying Akatsuki would actually weaken the overall strength of the Land of Rain.

Then they would disguise themselves as Iwagakure to attack other organizations, forcing Iwagakure to continue the war.

Then Konoha would scheme to gain huge benefits from this.

This is what a "Will of Fire" ninja should truly do.

"Hiruzen, you are too weak."

Danzo Shimura snorted coldly. After returning to Japan, he could already imagine the scene of Hiruzen Sarutobi being impeached.

He wasn't the only one dissatisfied; the other ninja clans were also suppressing their own thoughts.

It's just that peace is the prevailing sentiment among most ninjas, which prevents them from expressing it.

Once someone takes the lead, there will only be one outcome: Hiruzen Sarutobi will step down and a selection process will begin for the Fourth Hokage!

That will be his opportunity.

Everything we're doing now is so that Konoha will become even stronger after he takes power!

"Hehe, then it's a pleasure to cooperate with you, Lord Danzo."

Hanzo the Salamander raised his glass to Danzo Shimura and drank it down through a special device inside his gas mask.

While one side of Konoha made contact with Akatsuki, the other side advised him to suppress Akatsuki.

It's clearly... a factional struggle within Konoha.

Hanzo the Salamander naturally hoped that Konoha would have more internal strife, so that the Land of Rain could take the opportunity to rise.
