Chapter 331 Please Don’t Guess What the Second Grader Is Thinking.
Uchiha Itachi, this is a name that can make an old man like the Third Hokage feel mixed emotions in his heart. He "single-handedly" stopped the Uchiha rebellion and annihilated his own kin, but the baby's heart is filled with pain. How many people can relate to this?
The awareness, despair and lifeless emotions cannot be imagined by imagination, but the experienced third generation Hokage can probably understand the eventuality. If the endurance of a ninja is used to measure the level of his talent, then it will not be possible at all. There is no doubt that Uchiha Itachi is a true ninja.
"Are you sure it's Uchiha Itachi?" the Third Hokage asked Hagoromo.
Although many times the probability of Hagoromo being reliable is equivalent to a sow climbing a tree, this time, the sow has actually been lying on the tree.
"It's indeed him," Hagoromo said. He knew that the Hokage didn't ask this question out of suspicion, but a little bit of personal belief. After all, this should be the first time in several years that he had accurately obtained information about Uchiha Itachi's activities. He didn't expect him to leave. After the village, what organization did you join?
Serving the public and beating a concubine, does this count as infiltrating the enemy?
"According to Uchiha Itachi's information, including him, there are a total of ten people in this organization, all of whom are extremely powerful ninjas who have defected from various ninja villages, and the first purpose of their gathering is... to obtain all tails. Beast." Hagoromo's next explanation was even more unbelievable. Someone's attempt to obtain a tailed beast is nothing, but what the hell is obtaining "all" tailed beasts? Does it mean that all nine of them want it?
"So the purpose of the other party's invasion of Sunagakure just now, I guess, is probably to take away the one-tailed Jinchuuriki."
"As for the plans and handling methods after acquiring the tailed beast, it is still unknown."
Just this sentence made the Third Hokage and Jiraiya completely silent. In history, there are many organizations, ninja sects and even individuals who want to obtain tailed beasts and use the power of tailed beasts. However, it is rare to hear of situations where you want to obtain the power of all tailed beasts, because such a hugely powerful ninja cannot do it at all. control.
But this kind of shock was not the main reason for Naruto's silence. The main reason was that Yuyi's words made him have some associations.
The primary goal of acquiring all the tailed beasts and the violent method of invading Sunagakure can easily remind people of the Nine-Tails Incident that happened in Konoha twelve years ago. It's exactly the same, isn't it?
The person behind the Nine-Tails incident has not yet been identified. There have been only complicated speculations without a definite target. So now it seems that this organization may also be involved in that incident? Or was it planned by the other party?
The Third Hokage and Jiraiya looked at each other, and then said a common name:
"Uchiha Madara".
During the Nine-Tails Incident, there were three people who had the first contact with the enemy, Minato, Kushina and Hagoromo. According to the last information Minato left, the enemy had the ability to control tailed beasts and a space-time ninjutsu superior to him, so he was against The guess as to the identity of the enemy is Uchiha Madara.
However, the question is, is Uchiha Madara an old turtle? If you speculate about his age, how could he have lived until now? And the first Hokage actually killed him in the final battle with him... Theoretically speaking, it is impossible that Madara is still alive, but what if?
After all, Uchiha Madara is a ninja as famous as the First Hokage. Of course, a ninja with his strength cannot use common sense. Konoha became suspicious again about whether he was really dead.
As for Hagoromo's statement, the person who blocked him at that time was an enemy with the Samsara Eye, which made the opponent even more powerful and mysterious.
In other words, in the Nine-Tails incident, there were at least two enemies involved in the operation, so the possibility of the opponents gathering into an organization naturally exists...
So if this possibility is really possible, is the organization the organization Yuyi is talking about now? If this is the case, since Madara and the Rinnegan exist, no matter what the purpose of this organization is, it will never be simple, and even the other party is planning a major event that threatens the entire ninja world.
It has to be said that although there is a serious deviation from the actual situation, the third generation Hokage and Jiraiya still connected Uchiha Madara and the Rinnegan in their chaotic guesses and imagination.
"What's the name of this organization?"
After a period of silence, during which the Hokage had smoked several pipes of cigarettes without realizing it, he finally asked again.
"It's called 'Dawn'."
Without the half-informed Hagoromo and the Uchiha Itdahime who infiltrated the enemy, the first person to bring back information about Akatsuki would actually have been Jiraiya. Under the current situation, at least the basic information was not available. Jiraiya needs to risk his life.
"So this organization called Akatsuki, where is their stronghold? Did Itachi give an explanation?" Naruto then asked.
Now that he knows that someone is planning a conspiracy, and it seems to be a big conspiracy, the Third Hokage must be more cautious. At the very least, he must know where these people usually squat, so that Konoha can take the initiative when necessary.
Regarding this question, to Naruto's dismay, Hagoromo responded by shaking his head.
Although Itachi did not say that Akatsuki's headquarters was Amegakure, this did not mean that he was a scammer. In fact, he felt that Bai Yasha should be able to deduce this matter, so he did not make a special explanation within the limited time. Unexpectedly, Hagoromo is actually a scammer.
Hagoromo considered that if he told Konoha the location at this time, Konoha might take the initiative, but Hagoromo obviously didn't want the village to do this, so he concealed it to a certain extent.
This is also to prevent Konoha from suffering a loss of strength. In fact, what he did cannot be regarded as a mistake, because sometimes Konoha is unreliable in doing things. If Hagoromo is familiar with the plot, he will be more empathetic to this: Take a look At a certain moment, the composition of the Uchiha Itachi team sent by Konoha to capture it alive can be understood that sometimes the Great Ninja Village cannot accurately predict its strength. Not to mention that kind of composition to deal with Itachi, Itachi's best friend Gan Kaki Kisame can almost finish them off, but he is still performing a capture mission that is more difficult than killing them.
"Anyway, what Itachi passed back is extremely important information. Although we have no way to do anything specific for the time being, we must first remind Kakashi to pay attention to Naruto's safety..."
"Secondly, Hagoromo, you must act as soon as possible to bring Tsunade back with the greatest possibility."
Now that Konoha has learned part of the information, it can only respond to changes by remaining unchanged. The credibility of the information Itachi sent back is still quite high, and Naruto is relatively reliable. At least he did not propose anything to use Naruto as bait. A bad idea like seducing Akatsuki into action... after all, that's Danzo's way of doing things, not the Hokage's way of doing things.
However, after Hagoromo told the general story of the matter, the Third Hokage thought that he had taken it seriously, but compared to the seriousness of the matter, his level of attention was still a little low.
With Naruto's extreme imagination, the most he could think of was that there was a group of chuunibyou who wanted to control the entire ninja world, but how could he have imagined that there was actually a high school student hidden behind the chuunibyou who wanted to control the entire ninja world? The world was wiped out in one fell swoop.
"I understand." Hagoromo himself didn't want to delay Tsunade's matter for too long. Now he just wanted to move faster.
From the bottom of his heart, Hagoromo would rather have someone like Tsunade sit in the position of Hokage.
Including the internal factors of his character, as well as the external factors of Hokage's restriction on personal freedom, and having to deal with a lot of messy things, Hagoromo naturally has no interest in this position. He doesn't want to do this job, and he can't do it. But this does not mean that "Hokage" has no meaning to him. As long as he is still in Konoha, this meaning will exist.
Simply put, if Tsunade becomes Hokage, then Hagoromo will have a stronger influence on the village's overall strategy through Tsunade. In this case, many things will become simpler.
