Konoha Intelligence Base.

Yamanaka Inoichi opened his eyes abruptly, took off the device on his head, and said weakly, “Quickly, send a message to Hokage-sama… I have found the specific location of Target!”

As he finished speaking, Yamanaka Inoichi suddenly discovered that the underground Intelligence Base, was in a mess, several people were already dead, and all the pieces of equipment have fallen here and there.

Hearing Inoichi’s voice, one of the members of the Intelligence Team suddenly reported with a fearful tone, “Captain Inoichi, not long ago, we lost all contact with the personals in the Hokage Building…!”

“Lost contact?!” Inoichi was stunned after hearing the words of his subordinate, and subconsciously asked, “What exactly do you mean? How can we lose contact with the personals in the Hokage Building?”

The members of the Intelligence Department shook their heads, the reason is simple, he doesn’t know much. He just knows that after that violent earthquake not long ago all external communication from this underground base was suddenly interrupted and no one outside is responding to their communication, not even the personals at the Hokage Building.

After hearing the ins and outs of the matter, Yamanaka Inoichi had a thoughtful expression on his face. He did not feel the previous earthquake because he had transferred his consciousness into that Goshawk using the ‘Secret Jutsu: Mind Transfer Jutsu!’ of the Yamanaka Clan in order to find the position of the Leader of the Akatsuki Organization as per Hokage-sama’s orders…

Just when Inoichi was thinking about what to do, one of the members of the Intelligence division who went out for investigation stumbled back to the base and exclaimed, “No… the village… the village…!”

Inoichi asked anxiously, “Speak clearly, what exactly happened outside?”

The subordinate kneeling on the ground said with a weeping expression, “The village… it’s gone… completely destroyed!”

Inoichi’s expression condensed as soon as he heard the subordinates’ words, and after a long silence, he stood up with a resolute expression.

The fact that the underground Base of the Intelligence Department survived must mean that the Anbu Base, the secret Base where the four Kages have gathered, and the Refugee Shelter should not have been destroyed either.

As the Commander of the Intelligence Department, Inoichi knows that the Tsuchikage, Raikage, Mizukage, and Kazekage, as well as several of their subordinates, have gathered in Konoha and are waiting for intelligence about the exact location of the leader of the Akatsuki Organization.

The four Kage together with their personal guards are a force that can not be underestimated, and as long as, they carry out a successful sneak attack on Nagato and kill him in the shortest time, the situation can be reversed instantly.

Therefore, it is very important that the information that Inoichi has obtained be transferred to them.

With this intention, Inoichi went towards the Secret Base and soon arrived there.

At this time, the secret base was already in chaos, and the four Kage were arguing about whether to go out and support Konoha against the main force of the Akatsuki Organization, or stay here and wait for the intelligence.

Raikage and Mizukage have long been unable to bear it and want to go above and support Konoha, on the other hand, Tsuchikage and Kazekage hope to wait for more information before attacking.

All four of them are leaders of their respective villages so neither one of them is convinced by the other’s arguments, additionally, they have lost contact with the Hokage so the entire meeting room is filled with noise, argument, and mockery.

But all these disputes subsided as soon as Yamanaka Inoichi walked in.

Yamanaka Inoichi passed on the intelligence to Nara Shikaku who informed everyone that the location of the leader of the Akatsuki Organization has been confirmed.

After learning this piece of intelligence, everyone quickly reached a consensus under the guidance of Nara Shikaku and decided to put all their attention and efforts into eliminating Nagato.

The threat of the Akatsuki Organization has been deemed too high that even Konoha, the strongest of the five great Shinobi Villages can hardly resist it and that too only because of the help of a member of Amatsukami, other villages don’t have confidence in resisting the full-scale attack of from the Akatsuki Organization.

Therefore, if they don’t take advantage of this opportunity to solve the Akatsuki Organization from its roots when the five Kages have gathered, there may be no such opportunity in the future.

As the four Kage reached a consensus, Mitokado Homura stood up and said, “I will represent Konoha and participate in the fight against Nagato!”

They have lost all contact with the Sandaime Hokage, so there is no telling whether he is dead or alive. Therefore, Mitokado Homura has no other choice but to represent Konoha in the fight against the leader of the Akatsuki Organization… hehehe… anyway, even if he dies it wouldn’t be that big of a problem as his death would be for the sake of the village and the shinobi world…

The four Kage looked at the resolved expression of Mitokado Homura and nodded.

After a while, everyone quietly left the village from the secret passage and went straight towards that high cliff where the leader of the Akatsuki Organization was detected by Yamanaka Inoichi.

In this attack again the leader of the Akatsuki Organization, there are several strong shinobi from the five great Shinobi villages in addition to the four Kage and Konoha Elder Mitokado Homura.

There is Terumi Mei and the patriarch of the Hozuki Clan from Kirigakure, Chiyo, Ebizo, and Baki from Sunagakure, Killer Bee, Toroi, and Darui from Kumogakure, Kitsuchi, and Gari Iwagakure, and finally, Yamanaka Inoichi, Nara Shikaku, as well as several other strong shinobi.

Overall, the team consists of nearly a hundred shinobi… all of the members being Jonin or Elite Jonin.

As far as the four Kage understands, such a force should be more than powerful enough to deal with Nagato, Konan, and the spiral-masked member of Akatsuki.

Konohagakure.

Rushing towards Tendo Pain, Jiraiya shouted in anger, “Nagato!”

Tendo Pain who was about to use Bansho Ten’in towards the Refugee Shelter dropped his hands, and slowly landed on the ground.

This time Jiraiya was really angry at what Tendo Pain has done to the village, so without any nonsense, he leapt towards Tendo Pain and released one of his strongest Jutsu, ‘Senpo: Ultra-Big-Ball Rasengan!’

Jiraiya, with the Ultra Big Ball Rasengan, rushed towards Tendo Pain.

Whoosh

But just as he was about to smash it on Tendo Pain, a figure suddenly appeared in front of Tendo Pain and opened his arms.

The Ultra Big Ball Rasengan that was supposed to have completely destroyed the Tendo Pain was directly absorbed by this figure.

“Jiraiya-chan, this puppet seems to be able to absorb Jutsu, so this one is Preta Path…” Toad Fukasaku warned.

“Use Frog Kata against him!” Toad Shima suggested.

As soon as, the Jutsu was absorbed by Preta Path, Jiraiya rushed forward hoping to blast away the figure standing in front of Tendo.

Seeing that Jiraiya intended to engage in close combat, Preta Path flashed to the side at a faster pace, revealing the figure of Tendo behind him, who had already raised his right arm and said indifferently, ‘Shinra Tensei!’

Boom!

A huge repulsive force was suddenly released from Tendo’s hand and instantly pushed back Jiraiya at a faster pace.

But Jiraiya was not to be underestimated, the moment he was pushed back, Toad Shima standing on Jiraiya’s shoulder instantly stretched out her tongue at a lightning speed, entangled Preta Path, and immediately drew it closer.

The angry Jiraiya didn’t hesitate at all, and directly blasted the head of Preta Path with his Sage Chakra Enhanced punch.

Smash!

While in Sennin Mode, Jiraiya’s strength is not to be underestimated, and it wouldn’t be wrong to say that each of his punches is as strong as Tsunade’s punches, so the moment his fist hit Preta Path’s head, Preta Path’s head exploded.

Seeing that the angry Jiraiya destroyed the preta Path, Tendo smiled indifferently, and said, “Jiraiya-sensei… you seem to be able to finally feel it.”

“You…” Jiraiya wanted to say something, but Tendo didn’t give him the opportunity and continued, “The village was ravaged by others… your companions died but you were completely powerless and couldn’t protect any of them… the pain of losing the others, the pain of not being able to do anything… such pain, if you don’t experience if personally, can you really understand it?”

Jiraiya shouted in anger, “Stop doing such frantic things in order to make yourself feel better! Do you feel no guilt after killing so many innocent individuals?”

Tendo said coldly, “What about you? Do you people of the great nation feel no guilt upon trampling the lives of us people of the small and poor nations?”

Just when Jiraiya was left speechless, Fujin leapt down from the sky and rushed towards Tendo.

Tendo raised his arm towards the incoming Fujin, ‘Shinra Tensei!’

Boom!

A huge repulsive force swept over Fujin and caused all the Iron Sand along with him to fly out.

Tendo just glanced at Fujin, and said, “I am not interested in you… let Yama come o–…”

The voice of Tendo was finished yet, Fujin who was just repulsed by Shinra Tensei appeared behind Tendo with a quick Body Flicker.

‘Such speed?!’ even Tendo was astonished… and instantly jumped to the side and barely avoided the slash of the Bone Blade.

But the Bone Blade still managed to through a part of the Akatsuki Cloak.

Just as Fujin was about to continue the offensive, he suddenly coughed and spat out a mouthful of blood.

Upon seeing this, Tendo said, “Your body doesn’t seem to be able to hold it anymore… Even if I don’t kill you, you don’t have much time left… it wouldn’t be wrong before your body will collapse…”

Hearing Tendo’s words, Fujin chuckled, “Hahaha…”

Tendo frowned, “What’s so funny?”

Fujin said with a gentlemanly smile, “You don’t understand what this means… the more this one’s body is unable to hold it, the more dangerous this one becomes!”

The state of Fujin Clone is indeed not very good, but it is both a good thing and also a bad thing… the more dangerous the body’s state becomes, the stronger Bones are becoming… if the Fujin Clones is on the verge of collapse, then it would only mean that Shikotsumyaku has reached infinitely closer to All-Killing Ash Bones in terms of lethality.
