Chapter 169
Three days have passed since they captured the four Jinchūriki.
"The seal is finally complete."
The Akatsuki members breathed a sigh of relief.
"This is just the beginning."
Someone else said.
Looking at Yugao's body lying on the ground with his eyes wide open, (the temporary seal also extracts the tailed beast, so the Jinchūriki will of course die) Tendo Pain said;
"Let those ninjas search for our traces in the whole ninja world like headless flies!
The next step is to seal the Eight-Tails."
Seeing that they were in such a hurry to seal two Jinchūriki one after another, the members of the Akatsuki organization who had little chakra left were a little worried.
They were a little afraid that their remaining chakra could not be restored in time, and they would have to use an imperfect posture to deal with emergencies.
But with the order of the organization in front of them, they could only hope that their base was hidden enough.......
At the headquarters of the Cloud and Mist Alliance in the Land of Fire, the Fourth Raikage, who had just learned the news from Samui, immediately raided the Akatsuki office in the Land of Fire with his personal guards. He successfully captured a middle- and high-level cadre of the Akatsuki, who was soon sent to Konoha Village.
Although the man tried to use some secret technique to destroy his brain before his death, Ai's skills were too fast.
With the ability of the Yamanaka clan to search, they learned from his brain that this member usually went to the Hidden Rain Village once a quarter and reported the income and expenditure of this quarter to his superiors in the Hidden Rain Village.
This reliable information, combined with Jiraiya and Tsunade's speculation, directly confirmed that there was an Akatsuki headquarters in the Hidden Rain Village.
This directly made the two villages' ninjas, who were almost anxious, choose to raid the Hidden Rain Village from the north and south overnight.
Jiraiya and Tsunade had mentioned to the Raikage before that they would turn the Hidden Rain Village upside down, even at the risk of killing someone by mistake.
In fact, the Hidden Rain Village was the base of the Akatsuki organization.
However, it was later rumored that the three of them died in the coup in the Hidden Rain Village.
In addition, as mercenaries of the Hidden Rock Village, they all wore Hidden Rain Village forehead protectors with scratches on them, which seemed to indicate that they had betrayed the Hidden Rain Village.
Due to the lack of information, they were not sure.
However, from the latest information, the rumors of death were just an illusion.
On the contrary, the Hidden Rain Village was being controlled by Akatsuki behind the scenes.
Jiraiya almost led the army to the Hidden Rain Village.
Now this information has dispelled the last bit of doubt in the Raikage's heart.
And through Tsunade's treatment, Mei Terumi, who has recovered 60% to 70% of her health and strength, also resolutely joined the northern route troops commanded by the Raikage in order to clear the rumors that her village and the Akatsuki organization had some kind of secret collusion.
The reason for the division of forces is that although they have temporarily ceased fire, they cannot trust their backs to the enemy who was fighting for life and death just a moment ago, so it is better to divide the forces.
Thanks to Tsunade's almost overdrawn life and squeezed out all the chakra in her body for treatment, some ninjas who were seriously injured in the previous mutual attack have more or less recovered.
Except for Might Guy, he was stabbed by the medical ninja transformed by White Zetsu, and the knife happened to pierce his spleen, so he still has not been sent to the emergency ICU.
He is still being rescued, which is also one of the biggest achievements of the Akatsuki organization's strategy.
Except for the unlucky Kai, the other elite ninjas of Konoha avoided the sneak attack of the White Zetsu clone, and at the same time they also raised their guard in their hearts.
In a hurry, the number of people that can be mobilized is not large.
Kumogakure and others have to leave a lot of ninjas to guard against possible sneak attacks from the opposite side, so they claim to attack from the north and south, but the total number of ninjas is only more than 10,000, which is less than half of the number when they fought each other.
At this time, underground, even if there were 100,000 White Zetsu clones in the original Ninja World War, Nagato could not mobilize them.
The Hidden Rain Village was not known for its grassroots strength.
They only had more than a thousand ninjas who could fight, and naturally could not compete with the big ninja villages.
Even after so many years of recuperation, the Hidden Rain Village was still crying for the scars left by the last Ninja World War.
The Konoha coalition came to the Rain Country at the junction of the three major countries.
Looking at the gray clouds above their heads, Jiraiya and Tsunade seemed to have returned to the battlefield decades ago.
They had stayed here as a small frontline country for a long time, and their memories of this country had also settled into a part of their lives.
But now, they have no choice but to trample on the neutrality of this country again.
In fact, a week ago, a ninja division from the Hidden Sand Village had passed through here and attacked the border of the Fire Country.
But the situation that followed happened too quickly, and the Wind Shadow, who was confused about the situation, chose to let his ninjas temporarily shrink their strength, set up a base in a corner of the Rain Country, and watch from the sidelines, waiting for the next development of the situation.
Who would have thought that the two ninja groups, who were originally fighting to the death, would stand together and come here aggressively because of the sudden attack of a third party? Didn't you see that even the powerful Iwagakure Village, in order to avoid suspicion, distanced itself from the Akatsuki organization, and after announcing that it had cut off all contact with the Akatsuki organization, strictly ordered its ninjas to stay inside the village to show its sincerity.
So the ninjas of Konoha and the ninjas of the Cloud and Mist Alliance came to this country where it always rains.
Among them, the number of ninjas from the Kirigakure Village who followed Mei Terumi to come here was the least.
They did not receive any relevant orders from the Kirigakure Village, but followed Mei Terumi to fight here personally.
There were less than 500 people, and they were volunteers.
More than 10,000 ninjas sounded like a lot of people, but because they didn't know where the enemy's base was.
In addition, it was difficult for Konoha ninjas and the ninjas of the Cloud and Mist Alliance to coordinate, so they could only divide the 10,000 people into several teams of five or ten people.
Each team of the Konoha side was equipped with a member of the Hyuga clan, who used the Byakugan to search for secret bases that might exist underground.
Some members of the Uchiha clan were responsible for this task in the Hidden Cloud Village.
Their loyalty had been questioned in the previous series of events, so they were trying their best to do their part and not make any mistakes.
Although the Rain Country was called a small country, it was relative to the land area of the five major countries.
In terms of area, it was even larger than the island where the Hidden Mist Village was located.
Ten thousand ninjas scattered there were like birds in the forest.
They seemed to be everywhere, but there were always places they could not reach.
