Konoha: I, Uchiha, just want to die.

Chapter 309: One man is the king, Xiao’s invitation!
The convoy carrying huge beams, wood, bricks and stones moved across the open fields.

The wheels, unable to bear the weight, crushed the rocky ground, and the combined sounds produced a huge rumbling sound.

"That's the convoy transporting materials for building the castle tower."

"With only five days left, the Kingdom of Thunder has mobilized many forces to rebuild a brand new castle tower from the ruins before the start of the five-nation talks held in Yunming City of the Kingdom of Thunder."

"Use it as the venue for the five-nation talks."

Standing on the platform of the abandoned city wall, Yahiko pointed at the convoy heading towards the ruins in the distance and told the story of its origin.

Uchiha Ci suddenly realized where the loud noise he heard when he woke up came from.

"But, is it enough to build a castle tower in five days?"

He couldn't help but frown.

Although the castle tower has the word "pavilion" in its name, it is not really an attic.
It is a huge castle with observation, command and enemy defense functions!

Hearing Uchiha Ci's question, Yahiko's face became solemn. He raised his palm and pointed in the direction of the inner city in the distance.

"So this time, the Land of Lightning used the power of ninjas."

At this time, the tall and solemn walls of Yunming Inner City no longer had the glory of the past. The entire inner city seemed to be cut off neatly.
From afar, you can see figures flying up and down on the city wall.

Under the actions of that group of superhumans, the broken and messy city walls became tidy at a speed visible to the naked eye. Bricks and stones were stacked and repaired rhythmically, and gradually returned to their original state and rose from the ground under the earth escape technique controlled by the ninja.

"To guard against the assassination declaration you left yesterday and to ensure that the Five-Nation Talks proceed as scheduled."

"Almost everyone from the Hidden Cloud Village has come out in full force!"

"The Cloud Hidden Army stationed in the Frost Country has arrived at Yunming City after a day and night of marching."

Yahiko stared at the heavily guarded city and frowned.
"Now, the scene here is completely different from yesterday!"

At this time,

Scorpion, who had been silent all this time, suddenly interrupted and said:

"Not only that, the chakra cannon that was originally placed in the Hidden Cloud Village and repelled Orochimaru has also been transported here."

"Although this chakra cannon is a semi-finished product, its power is no weaker than the lightning sword cannon you fired yesterday."

"and,"

"According to my analysis of the design drawings of that weapon, its power can be further enhanced with the chakra provided by the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki."

"You mean the Chakra Cannon?"

Hearing this, Uchiha Ci couldn't help but be stunned, and glanced at Scorpion who appeared here for some reason.
Although they had been teammates for a short period of one day, he still had only a vague understanding of the changes that had taken place in Scorpion.
Now listening to what he said, it seems that he was also involved in Orochimaru's sneak attack on Kumogakure? And he even took advantage of the chaos in Kumogakure to steal the blueprints of the giant chakra cannon?

So this is the reason for Scorpion's sudden change in style?
According to the original work, this giant chakra cannon secretly developed by Yunyin can smash the moon with one shot in the later stage, and even if only two barrels are lit, it can also blast into outer space, and the scattered light cannon outside the atmosphere can perfectly intercept meteorite showers.

The scene was so abstract that it looked like the main gun of the Millennium Falcon in Star Wars had been dismantled.

Fast forward twenty years to the present era, Uchiha Ci had never imagined that Yunyin had already started to build this giant cannon that looked like a sci-fi weapon at this time, and had already achieved some success.

"Yeah." Scorpion responded muffledly.

Uchiha Ci stroked his chin and thought. If this giant cannon could repel Orochimaru who possessed the Eight-headed Snake Technique, then it should also have a certain killing power on Susanoo.

Although this weapon does not have long legs and can only be fixed there, there are many ways for ninjas to destroy it before it blasts out.
but,
With the Third Raikage, with whom he had fought before, restraining him, it would be difficult for him to destroy the weapon.

This is when things get a bit tricky.

The Third Raikage was too fast. His speed was enough to deflect visual eye techniques, and his defense almost ignored all attacks with non-restraint attributes. His own stats had already reached an extremely outrageous level, which meant that he would choose to continue the close combat with Uchiha Ci only when he was determined to kill him. Then, he made a mistake and fell into a desperate situation.

If they fight again, with the opponent having gained experience from last time, it would be hard for Uchiha Ci to kill him again under such circumstances.

however,
The difficulty of assassinating the Daimyo of the Land of Lightning is not only this,

At this time, Terumi Mei, who was standing on the Wengcheng platform overlooking the inner city of Yunming, said:
"Ci,"

"Do you really understand what you are about to do?!"

"From the moment you declared your intention to assassinate the lord of a great country,"

"Your enemies are not just the Land of Thunder."

"Under the joint decree of the Daimyo of the Five Great Powers, the nature of this Five-Power Talks has changed. The ninjas of the Five Great Powers who came to participate in this talk under the orders of the Daimyo of the Five Great Powers will certainly stop you from assassinating the Daimyo."

"You are now facing the five great nations of the Ninja World! Almost the entire Ninja World is attacking you!"

"In other words,"

Terumi Mei looked at Uchiha Ci, her pair of clear green eyes filled with solemnity.

"You will be the ruler of the country!"

Under such questioning, Uchiha Ci fell silent.
Although I have prepared myself mentally and understand what I am about to do,

But when he was really faced with a series of seemingly hopeless difficulties, Uchiha Ci couldn't help but feel a little unsure of what to do.

"listen--"

"Uchiha Ci, you need help!"

At this time, Yahiko turned around, faced Uchiha Ci and the others, and said solemnly:

"We have traveled thousands of miles from the Rain Country to come here just to help you!"

"The era of subverting the ninja world has been born because of you!"

"Whether the daimyo dies this time or not, countries ruled by ninjas will continue to emerge like mushrooms after rain, just like the Rain Country."

"By then, a brutal war that will spread across the entire ninja world and far exceed the intensity of the current Third Ninja World War will surely break out!"

"In this age of constant war, I want to end all wars and eliminate all disputes!"

"We need a weapon!"

"An ultimate weapon that can shock the five great nations, shock all those who attempt to start a war, put pain above them, and allow people to understand each other. The era has come!"

"to this end,"

Yahiko solemnly took out two things from his arms.
One is the Akatsuki organization's red cloud robe that was not given to the Rain Country.
The second one is a ring with the word "zero" engraved on it.

"I invite you again—"

"Join Akatsuki!"

"This time, you will be the leader of Akatsuki, Akatsuki Zero!"

"Five days later,"

"Let the entire ninja world witness the birth of God!"
