The Hokage, having traveled here, of course he'd unify the ninja world!

Chapter 424 After all, I'm here

High in the sky.

Deidara carried several people as they climbed until they were tens of thousands of meters in the air.

This high level of oxygen and temperature was no longer very favorable for the young Deidara.

However, seeing that neither Kakuzu nor Zenku showed any signs of discomfort, Deidara, being a strong-willed man, could only endure it.

The Cloud Village below were mostly riding eagles, and they were all enduring their discomfort as they chased Deidara to such a high place.

"This is enough for you, benefactor," Zenkong said unhurriedly.

Deidara stopped climbing and looked at Zenku.

Kakuzu was also very curious about how Zenku planned to make his move.

With a flick of his wrist, the Buddhist bead necklace circled his hand twice and wrapped around it.

He held a nine-ringed staff in his left hand, while his right hand continuously formed hand seals, and rings of light spread out from his hand.

Everyone could see that Zenkong was setting up a protective barrier.

But the power he used was completely unfamiliar to these people.

Because Zenku uses a system that is not simply based on chakra.

Furthermore, the barrier techniques are completely different from those in the ninja world.

After these concentric circles of barriers spread out, they gradually disappeared into the air.

Those from the Hidden Cloud Village who came to gather intelligence discovered that Zenku's barrier techniques and those of the Ninja World were not from the same system at all.

They couldn't figure out how these barriers disappeared either.

Under Zenku's command, Deidara acted as an excellent pilot.

Every time he flew a certain distance, Zen Kong would set up a barrier spell in the sky.

When Zen Kong sets up the barrier, the ripples spread out for hundreds of meters each time.

Moreover, once hidden, no one could find it, which can be described as extremely clever.

After Deidara flew in a huge circle around Kumogakure, Zenku said, slightly tired:

"Alright, we can rest for now. When the imprisoner with the power of a magical beast arrives, the barrier can trap him immediately."

Deidara and Kakuzu both stared blankly at the surrounding sky.

From their perspective, the sky was cloudless and there was nothing there.

Kakuzu couldn't help but sigh inwardly, realizing that different professions are like different worlds, even though he had seen quite a few barrier techniques.

However, those like Zen Kong, who show absolutely no clues, are extremely rare.

Deidara shook his head; for the first time, even he, who prided himself on his intelligence, felt a sense of defeat.

He watched as Zen Kong performed his magic, but he couldn't understand it.

Not only could they not understand it, they didn't even know where the barrier was.

The group landed, and hope was already waiting for them below.

The people of Yunyin have already reported that they learned their side couldn't understand it at all.

A mysterious aura clearly emanated from Chan Kong.

"We at Cloud Village have already arranged rooms for you. Please follow me."

To this day, it remains unclear what the Akatsuki organization is trying to achieve.

Naturally, they wanted to monitor him, and they arranged the best accommodations for him.

Kakuzu naturally understood this principle, but they never had any bad intentions.

They really are here to do business.

So he felt perfectly justified in going to rest with hope.

……

The Land of Fire, high in the sky.

Qianyao flapped its wings and flew towards Konoha Village.

He had just completed a cycle of consciousness, from tracking Killer Bee's clone (the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki) to Zenku, and then to Yagura Kagami's clone.

Only after making sure that his plan had not deviated from its intended course did he feel at ease continuing his flight towards Konoha Village.

Although Orochimaru's body also belonged to Senyou, he generally wouldn't actively use that clone in order not to delay Orochimaru's experiments.

Anyway, Orochimaru will contact him if there's anything important.

Zenku and Yagura's clone have already finalized their plan and are just waiting for the performance to follow.

Karin remained huddled on Chiyo's back.

Under Chiyo's skillful control, the Paper Release technique created a sleeping bag-like pocket for Karin, keeping her completely protected from the wind.

This gave Karin a particularly reassuring feeling.

"Master, did I help you this time?" Qianyao flew very fast, and the strong wind made Xianglin's voice sound a little distorted.

Qian Yao was in a good mood: "Of course, this time it was all thanks to you that the people from Yunyin were able to retreat."

He wasn't just trying to appease Karin; it was the truth, the reason why Chiyo didn't bring anyone else along.

One reason was to conceal Konoha's strength, and the other was to have Karin heal him more often.

This is the first step in Orochimaru's cell synthesis conditions.

"Does that mean we won't fight?" Karin asked happily.

Qianyao smiled and said, "It's just that we can't fight for now. We'll definitely fight again when the opportunity arises in the future."

"Is there a way to avoid the ninja war?" Karin likes peace.

She has no passion for fighting; she's only happy when Qianyao needs her, regardless of what she's doing.

Chiyo patted Karin's hair with his hand: "Once we unify the ninja world, we will never fight another ninja war."

"Then we can rule the whole world and there will be no more wars."

"Does Master want to rule the world?" This was the first time Karin had learned of Chiyo's goal.

Qianyao chuckled lightly: "It's perfectly reasonable for the Uchiha to rule the world."

"After all, I'm already here."

Karin couldn't understand Chiyo's last words, but she still turned her head and rested her head against Chiyo's neck:

"I will help you, Master."

"Yes, we'll be there soon."

……

A cemetery in the mountains.

Chiyo thought Obito was dead, but he was still alive and well.

Not only was he alive and well, but Obito was also emitting black smoke from his entire body.

You could say he doesn't look like a good person at all.

His eyes showed very little emotion, and he appeared somewhat wooden.

Even Black Zetsu couldn't fully understand Obito's state.

However, Obito has been absent for significantly longer periods recently, and each time he reappears, he appears quite dazed.

After this appearance, his mental state has improved significantly. Although his expression is still cold, he can at least communicate normally.

"Because Nagato killed Hiruzen Sarutobi's men, the three ninja villages dared not move on the border. Now Sunagakure has already withdrawn."

"The Cloud Village's forces on the border of the Land of Fire were attacked by Chiyo, and the Two-Tails Jinchuriki, Yugito, was seriously injured."

"Kumakugakure was attacked by the flying Yagura Karatachi, and now Kumogakure has been bombed beyond recognition."

"After receiving the intelligence, the people from Iwagakure have withdrawn their troops."

"The people from Kumogakure stationed on the border of the Land of Fire will probably be withdrawn as well."

Zetsu compiled all the latest information and gave it to Obito.

I want to see how Obito reacts.

"Nagato and the others have already defected to the Uchiha clan, we just didn't know it."

"Nagato no longer has the Rinnegan, and the other ninja villages don't know that either."

Although Obito appeared dull, his reasoning was remarkably clear.

Black Zetsu carefully observed Obito, and only after confirming that he was mentally sound did he speak:

"I have already released the information that Pain died in battle, but those ninja villages don't believe it."

After thinking for a moment, Obito said, "It's only a matter of time. We're too weak right now; we can't afford to lose even one person."

“Minato has been resurrected. If Wraith goes there again, he'll be courting death. I'll go and pull him back.”

A dissenting opinion emerged: "The demon is obsessed with his body; we have no control over it."

"You might as well let him suffer a bit, so he can make good use of the body we prepared for him."

The demons claim to be from the Moon Organization, but they are merely collaborators with Obito and the others.

Black Zetsu means that he wants to completely control the demons.

A thoughtful look flashed in Obito's eyes: "Very well, his stone golems can be a good test of Konoha's strength."

"Keep an eye on Beiliuhu's side, make sure he doesn't die."

"We need more allies."

Zetsu nodded slightly. It seemed that Obito was just in a bad mood, but his mental state was still normal.

"The Uchiha clan all think you're dead. You might as well continue to 'die'."

Obito's eyes slowly rolled:

"That's a good thing, I'll keep my whereabouts well hidden."

"Prepare your plan first, and we'll see if there's an opportunity later."

Black Zetsu gave Obito a deep look: "I know what I'm doing."

……

Mount Sumeru.

Standing in front of the experimental table, Hiruko was constantly mixing the medicine.

Since Hiruko attacked the Sarutobi clan, his body has been exhibiting abnormal reactions.

Now he needs to prepare some suitable medications to suppress the abnormalities in his body.

Once he enters research mode, Hiruko basically loses all sense of time.

All his men are dead, and now he is all alone.

He was cut off from all external intelligence.

He was unaware that the outside world had undergone tremendous changes.
