Chapter 168 No Need to Guess
Three more days passed, and before we knew it, autumn had arrived.
In mid-September, Kakashi, who had just celebrated his twelfth birthday, volunteered to participate in the Konoha Autumn Jonin Exams.
During the war, the surviving ninjas improved their strength very quickly, so Konoha Village holds two ninja exams every year: one in spring and one in autumn.
Kakashi has now signed up for the Jonin Exams in the fall.
At this moment, the wheel of fate seemed to begin its final sprint!
At the same time, on the front lines of the Hidden Cloud Village, Raikage's young secretary, Mabui, was painstakingly tallying up the supplies that were about to be sent out.
(Mabuyi)
"Are we really going to send so much stuff to that Akatsuki organization?"
She asked a question with reluctance, which made Commander Tsuchida frown and sigh.
"The alliance has already been signed; it's too late to feel sorry for them now."
Mabui was still unwilling to give up. "Why do they want so much? A few years ago, when Iwagakure asked us to cooperate in attacking Konoha, they were the ones who sent us gifts and listened to our conditions."
Tu Tai coughed awkwardly twice and gestured for her to look at her superior behind her.
Why did you agree to Akatsuki's conditions? Don't you have any idea why?
It's all because our boss confidently declared not long ago that he would definitely take down Minato Namikaze this time! But after the attack, he still failed to achieve anything, so he had no choice but to admit the capabilities of the Akatsuki organization.
Before Tutai's gaze could reach Mabuyi, a loud crash came from behind them.
With a loud "bang!"
Ray Shadow Ai smashed another table to pieces with a punch.
"Intelligence indicates that Konoha is advancing towards the Land of Grass. This time, I'll see what kind of performance that Akatsuki organization, which took all our stuff, can achieve! If they get thrashed to a pulp by Minato Namikaze, I'll be the first to go and laugh at them!"
Ai roared angrily.
Unexpectedly, he was frozen in place by a single sentence from his secretary, Mabuyi.
"Lord Raikage, this is the seventy-eighth table you've broken this month. We simply don't have any wooden tables left in stock at the front."
"..."
At that moment, Raikage A's massive frame suddenly shrank back guiltily, his eyes darting around, eventually finding Killer Bee, who was thinking of lines and practicing his rap.
"Little brother, come help your older brother fix this table."
"???" Killer Bee looked completely bewildered.
He didn't understand how the war had circled around and ended up on him, the most innocent victim.
You couldn't handle Minato Namikaze and the Akatsuki, so you can't blame me for that?
Similar times, distant spaces.
Deep in the mountains of the Land of Grass, Shiba Kiyokawa, having temporarily completed a cycle of training, led Konan and Nagato to a mountain stream.
Looking up, about two hundred meters directly above them was the Kannabi Bridge, which spanned the cliff.
Upon arriving at the site for investigation, the last remaining doubts in Shiba Kiyokawa's mind were resolved.
This should be the place where Kakashi, Obito, Rin, and the Iwagakure team fought in the original work.
No wonder that in the anime, even though their battle took place deep in the mountains and forests, with no bridge in sight, their fight was still considered part of the Battle of Kannabi Bridge.
It turns out the bridge wasn't far away, it was right above us!
Xiao Nan suggested, "Although this place is far from the summit, it would be best to set up some defenses here, in case the enemy sends out small elite groups to climb up from here and cause damage."
However, faced with this small suggestion, Shiba Kiyokawa remained unexpectedly silent for a very long time.
At this moment, he even brought up his system panel again after a long time.
As time passed, the countdown displayed on his system interface also decreased accordingly, and the probability fluctuated slightly, but some content remained unchanged.
[Based on system evaluation, the host's future prospects are—]
There is a 7.2% chance of dying after 8 days. Cause of death: death due to active involvement in the war between Konoha and Iwagakure (System suggestion: Gather intelligence more cautiously and avoid provoking the enemy in dangerous locations in advance).
(Note: The system's suggested features are new content added in the current version. Fate is unpredictable; the system is merely an aid. Please maintain independent thinking.)
After the system update, his first death is now imminent!
The mortality rate has already dropped by several percentage points compared to before, which shows that his recent efforts have not been in vain.
However, at this moment, he was more focused on the suggestions provided by the new system feature after the update.
Why is the warning to avoid provoking the enemy prematurely in dangerous locations?
What kind of location is dangerous enough to directly kill someone who has already reached the level of a Kage?
After a long pause, a thought suddenly struck Shiba Kiyokawa, and he said in a deep voice, "Let's fly into the air and talk."
Konan and Nagato didn't understand, but they did as instructed immediately.
Konan spread her paper wings, and Nagato used repulsive force to float. All three members of the Akatsuki organization possessed the ability to levitate.
The reason why Shiba Kiyokawa suddenly proposed the airborne council was quite simple—
"Remember that enemy I told you about before, the one that can lurk in the ley lines?"
Konan and Nagato's expressions changed slightly upon hearing this.
They certainly wouldn't forget this intelligence!
Because Yahiko's coma is thanks to that enemy!
"Is he around here?" Nagato asked, his eyes blazing with murderous intent.
Shiba Kiyokawa looked down into the valley with a deep gaze and said, "I guess if he wants to cause trouble again, this valley might be the best place for him."
He finally understood why fighting in the wrong place could be fatal!
If he's not mistaken: the elderly Madara Uchiha is probably right below this valley!
Connected to it is the Gedo Mazo, which is the body of the Ten-Tails.
Thinking about it now, it's fortunate that he came here today and did some reconnaissance before the battle, otherwise he might have been tricked.
The purpose of flying into the air to discuss the matter was to ensure that the conversation would not be overheard by Black Zetsu.
After all, the art of the mayfly can only move underground, not fly high into the sky.
"In the upcoming battle, let Iwagakure defend this valley and keep our people away from here."
"Nagato, send two Pain clones to keep an eye on this place. No, three, three Pain clones each keeping a close watch on Minato Namikaze's three disciples."
Nagato was still puzzled. "Why are you keeping an eye on Minato's three disciples?"
At roughly the same time, in a cave beneath the valley, Black Zetsu was giving a triumphant report to Madara Uchiha.
"Lord Madara, don't worry. Although Nagato's plan has gotten a bit out of control, the clansman you personally selected is progressing smoothly!"
No one would have imagined that our target would be a seemingly ordinary, bottom-ranked genin from Konoha! Absolutely no one could have guessed!
However, he was unaware that at that very moment, in the air above them, hundreds of meters above, Shiba Kiyokawa was facing Konan and Nagato.
"Those enemies who can hide in the ley lines, they've been gone for so long, they certainly won't let this opportunity pass them by!"
I suspect they've been behaving so well lately because they have new plans, not only targeting us but probably our enemies as well.
Those disciples of Minato are very likely their targets!
Black Zetsu confidently said, "Absolutely no one will guess," but he didn't know that some people don't need to be guessed.
