Chapter 269: Konoha Anxiously Waiting

Konoha, Hokage's office.

Compared to the usual bustling and busy atmosphere, the office is now very depressing.

Tsunade kept moving behind her desk.

Jiraiya, who had already returned to the village, looked out the window, a rare look of anxiety on his face.

Also present was the leader of the jonin squad, Nara Shikaku.

He stood there quietly, but his brows furrowed involuntarily as he thought.

Ever since Jiraiya received the intelligence about Hagoromo Gengetsu's attack from Mt. Myoboku, the three of them have become what they are now.

Soon, the sound of heels tapping on the ground could be heard.

Tsunade, who was impatient, couldn't help herself first. She stopped and turned to ask Jiraiya, "Jiraiya, what's going on now? Can you contact Myoboku Mountain?"

Jiraiya shook his head: "It still won't work. Myoboku Mountain has actively blocked the summoning contract, so the summoning technique doesn't work now."

Tsunade frowned, "What on earth were those toads thinking?"

Jiraiya didn't understand either.

When he heard that Hagoromo Gengetsu had attacked Mount Myoboku, he originally thought of asking Gamabunta and the others to summon him and go to help.

As a result, after the news of Hagoromo Gengetsu came from Myoboku Mountain, there was no movement at all, and even he couldn't communicate with the Myoboku Mountain toad.

Jiraiya had never seen such a situation since becoming a contractor of Myobokusan.

He couldn't help but worry.

What's more, Naruto is still there.

"Ahem." Nara Shikaku coughed twice and consoled him, "Hokage-sama, Jiraiya-sama, don't worry. Myoboku Mountain is one of the three holy places with many masters. In addition, the legendary Great Toad Sage is here. I don't think Hagoromo Gengetsu will get much good."

"Big Toad Immortal"

Jiraiya thought about the several times he had met the other person in the past.

Although it is clear that this true immortal who has lived for a thousand years is very powerful.

But his insane confusion still made him feel a little suspicious.

At this moment, Big Toad Immortal, you must not be confused!

Also.

If it were someone else, they would even organize forces to attack Mount Myoboku.

Jiraiya and Tsunade weren't too worried.

But this time he faced Yuyi Xuanyue.

The two who had personally experienced Hanegi Gengetsu's strength were still worried even though they knew that Myobokusan was equally powerful.

Tsunade even thought about sending Konoha reinforcements to provide support.

But Konoha is too far away from Myobokuyama. If we really get there, it would be too late.

So they can only wait anxiously for the results in the office.

"Tsunade-sama!!"

Just then, Jingyin suddenly pushed the door open.

"What's wrong?" Tsunade turned around suddenly and asked in a raised tone.

Shizune rushed over as quickly as possible, panting, and quickly explained: "The Sand Village was attacked by the Akatsuki organization, and the Fifth Kazekage Gaara was captured. The Sand Village sent an urgent request for help, hoping that Konoha would quickly provide support."

"The Fifth Kazekage was captured by the Akatsuki?" Tsunade was shocked for a moment.

At this time, Jiraiya temporarily put aside his worries about Mount Myoboku and turned his head with a serious face.

He investigated the Akatsuki organization for a long time.

He was not in the village before, and it was he who found the relevant clues and sneaked into the Hidden Rain Village to search, but found nothing and returned empty-handed.

At this time, hearing that Akatsuki had finally started to take action, they even pointed their spearhead directly at the Kazekage, one of the Five Kage.

Combined with Yuyi Xuanyue's actions, Zilai suddenly felt a strong sense of urgency that a storm was approaching.

Tsunade then pressed on, "How many people did the Akatsuki organization have? How could they defeat the Fifth Kazekage and the Sand Ninjas?"

"Two." Shizune answered. Suddenly, the whole office became unusually quiet.

Although she felt the atmosphere was a bit strange, Shizune continued to speak dutifully:

"Among the two members of Akatsuki, one is a rebel ninja from Iwagakure, Deidara who was once a disciple of the Third Tsuchikage. As for the other one, the information is unknown, but we only know that he is good at flying and has the ability to summon ninja tools."

After the Second Five Kage Conference, the five major ninja villages established channels for communication with each other.

Recently, due to the growing threat of Hagoromo Gengetsu, the connections between the five major ninja villages have become increasingly close. With the exchange of information, the Sand Ninjas quickly found out Deidara's identity.

"I understand." Tsunade rubbed her eyebrows and said slowly.

Although he had a lot to say, the Sand Ninjas were ultimately allies of Konoha.

She cheered herself up and immediately gave the order: "Notify the third team and the seventh team led by Yamato to come to the Hokage's office immediately."

"Yes!"

Shizune hurried over to inform.

Looking at Shizune's departing back, Tsunade couldn't help but shook her head and said:

"The Kazekage. The One-Tail Jinchuriki is in a very eventful time!"

"Somewhat something is wrong."

Nara Shikaku suddenly said, "The timing of Hagoromo Gengetsu and the Akatsuki organization's actions is too coincidental."

"Indeed." Jiraiya also thought of this and nodded, "And their targets are all tailed beasts. I remember that Hagoromo Gengetsu didn't care about the tailed beasts before."

"Unless he wants to use the tailed beast to do something, just like the Akatsuki organization." Nara Shikaku took over the conversation.

He seemed to understand something and immediately analyzed:
"Outside of Mount Katsuragi, it is suspected that Gengetsu Hagoromo fought with the Akatsuki organization and won; near the lake where the three-tail is hidden, Gengetsu Hagoromo's subordinate, a ninja from the Suoqian Village named Ali, appeared. Although he escaped afterwards, the three-tail was captured by the Akatsuki members Deidara and Kisame who arrived; today, Gengetsu Hagoromo and the Akatsuki organization simultaneously captured the tailed beast. From this point of view, I'm afraid..."

At this point, Nara Shikaku's fingers couldn't help but tremble a few times. He took a deep breath and said the most likely truth:
"I'm afraid that the relationship between Yuyi Xuanyue and Akatsuki is not as hostile, competitive, or irreconcilable as we thought before. It is more likely that Yuyi Xuanyue and Akatsuki are already on the same front."

"To go further, Hagoromo Gengetsu has already taken control of the Akatsuki organization! He has made the Akatsuki rebels work for him! Now all the captures of the tailed beasts are out of Hagoromo Gengetsu's will!"

As Nara Shikaku finished speaking, the place fell into complete silence.

Tsunade, Jiraiya's pupils suddenly shrank.

One Hagoromo Gengetsu is already stressful enough, and now there are a group of Akatsuki members whose individual strength is no less than that of the Five Kage.

It's so desperate!
Jiraiya's voice suddenly became awkward, and he couldn't help but ask, "If that's the case, what is the purpose of Hagoromo Gengetsu capturing the tailed beasts? With his strength, even if the nine tailed beasts joined forces, they would not be his opponent at all."

Nara Shikaku shook his head.

The information was limited and he couldn't analyze it.

The whole office fell silent again.

Not long after, footsteps were heard in the corridor.

The fully armed Yamato, Sakura, Sai, Gai, Lee, Tenten, and Neji, led by Shizune, walked into the Hokage's office, breaking the silence.

"Hokage-sama!" everyone saluted.

Tsunade was about to say something.

A ninja from the liaison squad suddenly arrived and handed Tsunade a scroll and said:

"Hokage-sama, urgent news from the Hidden Cloud Village!"

Tsunade had a bad feeling and opened it.

really!

The eight-tailed jinchuriki and the second-tailed jinchuriki of Cloud Hidden Village are missing.

It is reported that those who took action included members of Akatsuki organization and Uchiha Sasuke!
Tsunade suddenly raised her head and looked at Nara Shikaku.

The worst prediction came true.

This is not over yet.

On the side, Jiraiya suddenly said in surprise:

"We've reconnected with Myobokusan!"
