Chapter 140 Conspiracy, the Future of Akatsuki

After all five people had expressed their opinions, Yahiko spoke up.

"Now that you've said everything, it's my turn to speak."

Everyone fell silent and looked at Yahiko.

Yahiko spoke up.

"First of all, there's something wrong with that guy who claims to be Kanzo, Hanzo's right-hand man. Everyone here has lived in Amegakure for a long time and has heard of the people around Hanzo, but who among you has ever heard of Kanzo?"

The group exchanged glances and then shook their heads.

Indeed, they had never heard of Kanzō from Amegakure before.

You have to understand that the Akatsuki organization is based in Amegakure and has dealt with many important figures, so they have a certain understanding of them. They have never heard of this Kanzo before.

"Not only that, his way of referring to Hanzo the Salamander is also problematic."

Although we always call that guy by his first name, it's really strange that as Hanzo's right-hand man, we also call him by his first name.

You see, ever since Hanzo the Salamander became the Rainkage, everyone around him has to call him Rainkage. Anyone who has worked under him probably knows that.

Two people who had previously worked under Hanzo the Salamander confirmed this, noting that Hanzo was particularly attached to the title "Rain Shadow."

"Therefore, I think there is a big problem with this 'Kan Zang' (historical site)."

Yahiko tapped the table as he spoke before continuing.

"Alright, let's take a look at Hanzo the Salamander's desire to make peace."

The atmosphere in the meeting room became somewhat oppressive. After all, if the messenger who came to deliver the message had problems, then the peace talks were probably not a genuine intention.

"In fact, we can tell from this so-called envoy Kanzo that it is basically impossible for Hanzo of the Salamander to actually want to make peace."

So now that we've come this far, I think we should all abandon any illusions and prepare for a fight.

Nagato also stood up and spoke.

"Although our Akatsuki organization advocates resolving issues peacefully, it now seems that peace alone is no longer sufficient to resolve the problem, and we must launch an armed struggle."

Xiao Nan echoed in unison.

"Everyone, for the sake of Amegakure and the Land of Rain, it's time to let Hanzo of the Salamander feel the pain too!"

The five senior executives stood up together.

"For Amegakure! For the Land of Rain! For peace!" *5

Ultimately, the Akatsuki's attitude towards Hanzo the Salamander was finalized; it was time to eradicate this corrupt Amekage.

Amegakure needs a new Rainkage, and the Land of Rain needs a new leader. The Akatsuki organization will lead Amegakure and the Land of Rain to a new beginning.

After making the decision, the three discussed the 'peace talks'.

Ultimately, they decided to play along and see what Hanzo the Salamander was up to.

Soon, the time for peace talks arrived.

Yahiko and his two companions led the Akatsuki organization to the agreed-upon location for negotiations.

Outside Amegakure, on the battlefield where Hanzo of the Salamander once defeated the Legendary Sannin of Konoha, is also the place where he was traumatized by Izuna's sword strike.

The Akatsuki organization met with Hanzo the Salamander.

However, this time Hanzo the Salamander did not appear in person, but sent another deputy instead.

Although it was unpleasant, the two sides began peace talks, and during the negotiations, as if to appease Yahiko and the others, Hanzo the Salamander actually made a surprising concession.

He entrusted both the internal and external affairs of Amegakure to the Akatsuki organization. It can be said that, apart from not relinquishing his position as Amegakure's chieftain, he had given up everything he could and could not give up.

The more generous the other party is, the more wary one should be.

After all, there's no such thing as a free lunch.

Not to mention that Hanzo the Salamander was an extremely power-hungry person, and the fact that he so easily handed over the power in his hands is suspicious no matter how you look at it.

However, it was surprising that Hanzo the Salamander did not make a move during the negotiations.

The negotiations concluded, and the transfer of power began.

Before the other party revealed their true intentions, Yahiko did not act rashly. Instead, he took advantage of this opportunity to naturally begin to take over the affairs of Amegakure.

If we can take over Amegakure from Hanzo peacefully without resorting to force, that seems like a good idea.

However, Yahiko knew very well that there was definitely a trap involved.

At the same time, Hanzo's deputy made another agreement with Yahiko and the others, allowing the Akatsuki to manage Amegakure for half a month, and then they would discuss the matter in detail again after half a month, at which time Hanzo would personally appear.

In the Rain Shadow Building, in the Rain Shadow Office, Hanzo and Danzo sat facing each other at a large round table, discussing something.

"The plan has already begun."

"The Akatsuki members didn't find anything wrong, did they?"

"Heh, just a bunch of brats. They've just gained power and are showing off right now. What could they possibly find out?"

Danzo nodded.

“Very good. Based on my observation, that kid named Yahiko is their backbone. As long as Yahiko dies, this damn Akatsuki organization should be disbanded.”

"That's right, it's laughable that three mere brats think they can overthrow my rule."

"After this is all over, Boss Hanzo, please don't forget what we agreed on."

"Don't worry, I won't forget, and there's more."

Hanzo's voice suddenly rose in pitch.

"Remember this, Danzo, you must call me Amekage."

A strange look flashed in Danzo's single eye.

"Fine, Rain Shadow, hmph."

The Akatsuki organization took over the administration of Amegakure, and the previously abundant manpower suddenly became somewhat insufficient.

So much so that Yahiko and others personally led a patrol team to Amegakure.

As night fell, Nagato and Yahiko dealt with government affairs, and Yahiko scratched his head in frustration.

"These paperwork tasks are so troublesome. Why doesn't Xiao Nan come and handle them?"

Nagato smiled and patted him on the shoulder.

"Xiao Nan is very busy. She also has work to handle. After all, I have sent out several clones to help her. You can imagine how busy Xiao Nan is."

"Ugh! Nagato, could you please create a few more clones to help me? My head is about to explode."

"Alright, alright, you should go and rest first. Tomorrow is the final negotiation with Hanzo the Salamander. All his schemes and tricks will be revealed tomorrow. Go and rest first, and get plenty of rest."

"Haha, thank you very much, Nagato."

Yahiko really did put down his work and went to rest. After all, he wasn't good at these things. Sometimes the documents he had processed needed to be processed a second time by Nagato and Konan. Rather than staying and causing trouble and holding them back, it was better to rest and recharge.

The ordinary person once again created two clones to handle the work, and as time passed, the entire Amegakure fell into silence.

In the early morning, a white figure quietly appeared.

"Nagato".

"It's you."

Nagato frowned as he looked at Uchiha Madara, or rather, Uchiha Obito.

Obito spoke up.

"Reality is about to change drastically. If you part ways with Yahiko and the others now and join me, it's not too late to change everything."

Upon hearing this, Nagato's expression grew even more solemn. He gleaned a lot from the words, and it seemed that something big was about to happen.
