ALL NOVEL Chapter 132
At the same time, in a secret room in the Iwagakure Village, the Third Tsuchikage, the two great lords, Ohnoki, knelt in the room and gave an order to the Anbu behind him.
The Anbu behind him understood and ordered people to bring in trays of containers full of gold, banknotes, etc. There were dozens of boxes, filling up the entire secret room.
""Please." Ohnoki said, bowing slightly.
The person who accepted the Tsuchikage's greeting was a young man wearing a black robe with red clouds, short orange hair, black nails on his face, and frog-like purple eyes. The young man also responded with the same courtesy. The two seemed to be of equal status, and the contract was signed during the ceremony.
That person was Pein, the nominal leader of the Akatsuki organization.
"I understand. We have already received the deposit. Soon, Lord Tsuchikage will see our Akatsuki members making great achievements on the battlefield."
After saying that, he glanced behind him. The ninja behind him was Kakuzu, who was in charge of Akatsuki's finances.
He couldn't wait to go forward and count the property.
During this gap, Tendo Pain said to Ohnoki again;
"Please rest assured that the members of our organization have arrived at the front line where the ninjas of your village are gathered, and they are ready to join the battle at any time."
While the Hidden Cloud Village was busy forming an alliance with the Hidden Mist Village to target Konoha together, the Hidden Rock Village was not idle either, but took out the wealth accumulated over the years to continue to deepen its employment relationship with the Akatsuki organization.
He was determined to obtain not only Uchiha Itachi's Mangekyō Sharingan, but also Uchiha Shisui's Mangekyō Sharingan, which was said to have been lost in the Uchiha Rebellion.
According to the situation in which both parties insisted on their own opinions afterwards, there was a certain probability that the eyes would be obtained by Konoha Village, and there was also a certain probability that they would be taken by Uchiha Haruno, or the mysterious man who claimed to be Uchiha Madara who also appeared that night.
He decided that if it really didn't work out, he would give Uchiha to Shisui. Chiha Itachi gave his Mangekyō to the Raikage, and chose Shisui's Mangekyō for himself.
Therefore, he did not hesitate to spend a lot of money to hire the Akatsuki organization as mercenaries to join the battlefield.
At the same time, because of the relationship with the Third Raikage. Ohnoki never let down his guard against the Hidden Cloud Village.
In his mind, the best plan is undoubtedly that he can not only take the opportunity to defeat the powerful enemy Konoha, but also wipe out the mutually devastated Hidden Cloud Village and Konoha.
This is why the current Iwagakure already has two Jinchūriki, but still relies on the power of the Akatsuki organization.
After all, in the previous few employment contracts with the Akatsuki organization, the other party has performed very well, and the strength is obvious to all.
"Don't worry, Tsuchikage-sama." said the Akatsuki leader;
"Some of our other members will also arrive at the front line soon. They will completely obey the orders of Mr. Han and Mr. Lao Zi who are in charge of the front line and prepare to join the battle."
"That's good."Ohnoki narrowed his eyes, and couldn't help but imagine the future.
Well, I don't know. Did Jiraiya's intelligence network and Itachi's intelligence work detect this news?
If Konoha launched this risky assault on the front line of Iwagakure without knowing it, it would be like a hammer hitting an iron plate.......
At this time, thousands of elite ninjas who had left Konoha and were selected for the assault, led by Jiraiya, made their last repair in the territory of the Land of Fire, and then broke through the border of the small country bordering the two major countries overnight.
In order to avoid intelligence leaks, they began to move at full speed the moment they set foot on foreign territory.
Most of them believed that there would be no accidents in this surprise attack.
The other party would definitely be caught off guard by their own parties.
There was no need for too much war mobilization. The other party was not only an old enemy, but also a black hand that sheltered the remnants of the Uchiha. The morale of the Konoha ninjas was naturally high.
In front of them, on the border of the Land of Earth, a large amount of supplies and ninjas have been continuously concentrated here for several months.
And the line of defense was reinforced by earth escape ninjutsu, making it look difficult to break through.
Even the ninjas guarding behind the line of defense were full of confidence in their own line of defense, and were also very optimistic about the situation in the ninja world.
They didn't think that Konoha would launch an attack on them when they were attacked from both sides.
All they had to do was wait for the Hidden Cloud Village, the Hidden Mist Village, and Konoha to fight each other to a draw, and then go to Konoha for an armed parade, and they would be able to reap the final victory.
It would be best if they could get rid of the Hidden Cloud Village as well. Even if they couldn't, they would have to greatly weaken the war potential of the Hidden Cloud Village.
Therefore, although they were ninjas, they were not well prepared for battle.
However, the situation suddenly changed these days.
The senior ninjas in charge of the command seemed to have received some news, asking them, the ordinary ninjas, not to make a fuss no matter what they saw.
Then, they suddenly found that there were several more weirdos wearing black robes with red clouds on them.
These weirdos were naturally members of the Akatsuki organization, and they did not carry those conspicuous forehead protectors with the symbols of the rebel ninjas.
Actions are often elusive, and rumors are everywhere on the front line of the Hidden Rock Village.
Before dawn, when it is about to get light, this is the darkest and most sleepy time that no one can avoid.
Under the command of Jiraiya, two thousand Konoha elite ninjas quietly launched a surprise attack on the front line of Iwagakure, which was heavily armed and stockpiled with a large amount of supplies, but lacked defense.
Before this, the checkpoints in those key positions had been removed one by one by the Anbu led by Uchiha Itachi.
At this moment, the surprise attack launched on the front battlefield has begun to take effect.
A large number of Iwagakure ninjas were killed in their sleep, and then a pink toad several tens of meters high was summoned by Jiraiya.
As soon as it came out, it swung and smashed with a fork-like weapon, destroying the defensive ninjutsu released by several earth escape ninjas like a dead tree and a rotten wood.
Then, a more than ten-meter-tall orange-red giant, wearing hard armor and holding a sharp blade, appeared in the Iwagakure position.
Amid the panic of the Iwagakure ninjas running and shouting, they began to attack the gathering place of those Iwagakure ninjas.
However, Itachi did not relax his vigilance because of Susanoo's defense. Although there were a lot of ninjutsu, hitting many armors, it did not hurt him at all.
But after all, there were a lot of earth-style ninjas in the Hidden Rock Village. He was always on guard against the possibility that those earth-style ninjas might launch a surprise attack from under his feet.
Suddenly, he saw a crack in the ground at his feet, and a senior ninja from the Hidden Rock Village holding a kunai, used earth-style ninja to drill out, bypassed Susanoo's defense and stabbed Uchiha Itachi in the back.
