Chapter 73 This battle must be won!
In fact, ever since Shiba Kiyokawa gave a speech at the pub, the conflict between Akatsuki and Salamander Hanzo has become semi-public.
In the following two months, the friction between the two sides intensified, and later on, local secret battles and confrontations occurred almost every week!
The reason why Shiba Kiyokawa never launched a full-scale crusade was because he was always waiting for an opportunity.
Wait until the ninja world becomes further chaotic, so that the surrounding large ninja villages will have no time to take care of the Rain Country!
Fortunately: the wait didn't last too long.
In the middle of March at the beginning of spring, an event that shocked the entire ninja world broke out!
The Iwagakure Village dispatched more than 10,000 ninjas, and buried the Third Raikage of the Kumogakure Village, who was known to possess the strongest spear and the strongest shield, by piling up their lives!
As soon as this news came out, the entire ninja world was in an uproar!
Although Konoha's Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen has been using public opinion to brag that he is the strongest Hokage in recent years, in fact, the top leaders of the major villages in the ninja world have long reached a consensus: among the five kage of this generation, the strongest is the Third Raikage!
This is also the biggest confidence of the Hidden Cloud Village in recent years that has dared to frequently provoke Konoha and challenge the position of the number one ninja village.
But today, the strongest man finally fell!
What happened afterwards was beyond the expectations of Iwagakure, but was expected by most people in the ninja world: Kumogakure did not become depressed or retreat at all because of the death of their own Kage.
Instead, they immediately mobilized the entire village on an unprecedented scale and sent a large number of new generation ninjas to the front line!
These reckless men from the Land of Lightning seemed to have no idea how to write the word "stable" and did not even consider whether the hasty handover of Shadow would bring chaos to the village.
The newly appointed Fourth Raikage Ai did not even consider returning to the village to take up his post. After putting on the divine robe at the front line, he launched a campaign of revenge on the spot!
The entire northern part of the ninja world was in chaos!
The intensity of the Ninja World War has further increased!
At this time, the Kirigakure in the south was also ready to make a move, frequently harassing the coastlines of the Fire Kingdom and the Wind Kingdom.
Anyone with a discerning eye could see that it was only a matter of time before the Hidden Mist Village joined the battle! And this time would not be too long.
After the news reached the Land of Rain, Shiba Kiyokawa immediately slammed the map on the table.
The opportunity he had been waiting for—was right now!
Chaos is the ladder!
Now that the ninja world is in chaos, the ladder to heaven is about to emerge!
At this time, there are less than a hundred days left before the next death outcome calculated by the Destiny Observation System.
But he didn't plan to wait any longer!
He will - end the timing of fate with his own hands!
On this day, when Shiba Kiyokawa gathered all the members of Akatsuki organization again, the weather was not good and it started to rain heavily overhead.
In the rain, everyone lowered their heads slightly and stood silently, making this small piece of world completely shrouded in a solemn atmosphere.
(In reality, it is definitely not Yahiko who is standing in the first row. Just feel the atmosphere in the picture.)
After the integration was completed, Shiba Kiyokawa turned around, faced everyone, and began his final pre-war speech.
"In the past few days, I believe everyone has felt the approach of war! We have also heard many rumors. We have heard those people in the north denounce us as traitors, saying that we betrayed the Rain Country by abandoning Hanzo of the Salamander."
Shiba Kiyokawa's voice mixed with the sound of rain, from low to loud. "But is it really like this? Is it really our Akatsuki organization that betrayed the Rain Country?
As we all know, five years ago, Konoha invaded here! At that time, you, me, and all of us ninjas from the Rain Country had fought tenaciously! But when we were about to win, what did that man do?
The man who claimed to be our leader, he ended the war and acknowledged our enemies! He gave the title of Sannin to three rising stars of Konoha! He used this to push his reputation, status, fame and power to the top! Let the whole ninja world remember his reputation as a demigod!
But what about us? What about the Rain Country? ! Who remembers our suffering? !
Who betrayed this country? Who betrayed the land under our feet? ! "
The next moment, Shiba Kiyokawa opened his arms in the rain, as if he wanted to embrace a brand new future in this heavy rain.
"Today, we will correct the mistakes of the past and take back everything that belongs to us! To do this, we need a new leader, a visionary leader!
A great man who has the courage to face the demigod and annihilate all enemies!
He has come! He has appeared, right in front of you!
And he will lead the people of the Rain Kingdom to victory!"
At that moment, the solemn atmosphere was broken and everyone was cheering and shouting enthusiastically!
At this moment, Yayu instantly appeared behind Shiba Qinghe and inserted a straight pole into the ground with one hand. A flag with a black background and red clouds immediately unfolded above the pole!
This is the flag designed by Shiba Kiyokawa based on the black-bottomed red-cloud coats of the future Akatsuki organization in the original work. The images of clouds and rain just represent the Rain Country, and the red color symbolizes blood.
The red of the Red Priest is the red of war!
“Our words today may be forgotten in the future, but our struggle will be remembered by this land forever!
If I unfortunately die in battle in the future, please wrap my body with the flag of Akatsuki!
Gentlemen, we will win this battle!! "
After saying this, Shiba Qinghe clenched his right fist and hit his left chest hard with his backhand.
The next moment, all the Akatsuki members standing in the rain followed his movements in unison, hammering their fists into their chests and shouting—
"We will definitely win this battle!!"
"We will definitely win this battle!!"
"We will definitely win this battle!!"
The deafening cheers echoed three times in the rain!
At this time, the White Zetsu who was lurking in the dark and mechanically recording was completely frightened and kept repeating anxiously: "The host of the Rinnegan is in an abnormal mood! The host of the Rinnegan is in an abnormal mood! Beyond expectations! Beyond expectations!"
It’s a pity that Black Zetsu and the wise White Zetsu and Afei are not here at this time.
Black Zetsu is too arrogant. He thinks he can stir up the situation and manipulate everything in the ninja world by hiding behind the scenes, but he doesn't realize that someone has stolen the house right under his nose!
They want to make the host of the Rinnegan dark and desperate!
However, Shiba Kiyokawa smashed the script to pieces, and took Nagato with him, breaking free from the shackles of fate and racing all the way!
At this moment, Hanzo the Salamander is still in the luxurious courtyard of the capital of the Rain Country, watching the beauty arranging flowers;
Shimura Danzo is still sneaking across the border and sneaking into the Rain Country with his Root confidants.
Black Zetsu was still complacently directing White Zetsu, who was pretending to be a Rain Ninja, to do things secretly.
No one expected that on such an ordinary rainy day, the Akatsuki organization would come out in full force -
A demon, starting from usurping the throne of Akatsuki, took the first step to subvert the entire ninja world!
