Although it's cruel, the truth is that neither Cloud nor Stone Village has personally intervened.

This time, Konoha needs to demonstrate our strength while also telling everyone that Konoha desires peace.

And the meaning of your existence is to inform us what those guys actually want, which can give us a head start.

It allows us to be more prepared and to welcome a new future together!

Speaking of this, Shūzawa paused slightly before continuing with a smile.

"Besides, this action can also prevent Nagato from being sidelined and allow him to obtain more information.

Moreover, the Akatsuki is just your side job, the Rain Country is the key, isn't it?"

"Is that so?"

Konan sighed softly, then nodded.

Although she craved more, according to Shūzawa, this stage was indeed not suitable.

All of this really needs to wait slowly.

"Alright, let's stop here, I think you understand what I mean."

Shūzawa saw that Konan seemed to have recovered, and he smiled and changed the subject.

"Speaking of which, I seem to have helped you a lot, whether it's the Rain Country's problem or the path to pursue peace in the future.

And this time's action regarding the Akatsuki, and Nagato regaining 'trust', are all things I've been strategizing.

The 'sincerity' I've shown seems to be much more than I imagined, compared to that, your 'sincerity' always seems a little insufficient."

"."

Konan was almost choked by these words. They were just talking about serious matters, how did it change again?

Recalling that she seemed to have said 'only talk about work' not long ago, is this revenge?

Konan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but Shūzawa's words did make her think deeply.

Shūzawa has helped them too much, they owe too much...

Thinking of this, Konan seemed to have made a decision, she looked at Shūzawa seriously and said slowly.

"When this matter is over, I will show our 'sincerity' properly!"

"."

Chapter 149: Stepping onto the Long Road to Godhood, Only the Last Step Away!

"Is this Konoha? It's really luxurious."

With the arrival of the Chunin Exams, more and more ninjas gathered in Konoha Village.

And when they saw everything in Konoha, everyone couldn't help but feel sour.

Konoha truly deserves to be the ninja village that occupies the most fertile land in the ninja world and controls the best resources.

Everything here makes the ninjas of other villages feel envious, especially the ninjas of those small countries.

"Tch, Konoha..."

Darui led the Cloud Village ninjas participating in the exam towards Konoha, his eyes couldn't help but look around.

Although he was unhappy in his heart, he had to admit that Konoha's atmosphere seemed to be better than Cloud Village's.

But he will never admit this, no matter how good the outside is, it is not as good as his own home!

Moreover, in his opinion, all of this is just piled up with money, what's the point?

"Yo, Darui, right? I didn't expect you to be here too."

However, just as he was wandering around, a frivolous voice suddenly came from behind him, causing Darui to frown slightly.

Turning his head, he saw a guy with a Stone Village forehead protector and yellow hair walking towards him.

"Deidara? You're here too?"

He naturally knew Deidara, Ōnoki's disciple, and the guy who was very likely to become the Fourth Tsuchikage. Their village's jonin had records of this information.

Moreover, he and Deidara had been in contact a lot these years, after all, some things were not convenient for ordinary people to handle.

Only the person most trusted by the Kage could start, and it just so happened that they were both the same.

"Tch, I don't want to come at all, the old man asked me to, so I have no choice."

Deidara said unhappily, he snorted and continued.

"That old man didn't come himself and asked me to come, but you seem to be the same as me."

"I'm not the same as you, I'm happy to come over."

Darui looked at Deidara in front of him, his mouth twitched before he shook his head.

"Anyway, I'm just leading the team to participate in the Chunin Exams, other things have nothing to do with me."

"Tch, what I hate most is hypocritical guys like you."

Deidara glanced at Darui with extreme disdain, he felt that he really had nothing to say to this guy.

And to be honest, he also hated the work Ōnoki arranged for him from the bottom of his heart.

He understood the reasoning.

After all, Ōnoki had carefully cultivated him, and he himself was smart, but at only sixteen or seventeen years old, his personality was difficult to describe as calm.

In his opinion, some things didn't need to be so fancy at all.

If they want to fight, then fight, he can show his art to the fullest!

If they don't fight, then don't fight, so he can spend some time studying his art.

This feeling of being stuck in the middle made him extremely unhappy.

"I really don't understand you lunatics, I'm too lazy to deal with you."

With a snort, Deidara turned around and planned to leave, looking up at Konoha's colorful village, Deidara snorted with disdain.

"It's so boring, it's not as good as the stone quarry outside Stone Village, at least I can blast to my heart's content!"

"After all, explosion is art..."

"Father, is it really appropriate to let Deidara go?"

Stone Village, the scorching sun made the whole village seem a bit dry.

In Onoki's house, Kurotsuchi paced back and forth anxiously, while Onoki sat still, reading a book. Seeing this, Kurotsuchi became a little impatient.

"Humph, if he's not suitable as my disciple, then who is?"

Onoki watched his good-for-nothing son pacing back and forth, and he also felt annoyed.

"Besides, the reason I let Kurotsuchi follow him was to keep an eye on that guy. What are you worried about?"

"But..."

Kurotsuchi opened his mouth, originally not wanting to say it, but after hesitating for a moment, he still spoke.

"The one they might face is Shihara Shūzawa!"

Shihara Shūzawa.

As soon as this name came out, the originally calm Onoki instantly became stiff.

This name, to him, was in some ways no less significant than Uchiha Madara!

He could never forget the incident years ago when that guy suddenly summoned the giant thousand-meter Buddha, whose constant bombardment directly shattered the Eight-Tails and collapsed his earth techniques.

It even deformed the terrain of Kusagakure, ultimately forcing Iwagakure to pay an extremely heavy price – withdrawing from Kusagakure and all the small countries connected to Sunagakure.

Only then was he able to return to Iwagakure, and after returning, he spent a lot of effort to stabilize the situation.

It could be said that this was definitely a painful memory no less humiliating than being humiliated by Uchiha Madara back then!

Onoki raised his head and glared at his good-for-nothing son. He was extremely reluctant to hear this name.

"Don't avoid it, old man." But Kurotsuchi also stood his ground: "We both know how dangerous that guy is. What if he uses it as an excuse?"

"I've said it before, Iwagakure won't act rashly this time."

Onoki snorted coldly, directly interrupting his good-for-nothing son. He clenched his fist and said in a cold voice.

"I know what you mean, and I understand your worries, but I want to tell you that what I'm doing is for Iwagakure, for this ninja world!

This guy is so unstable, we must prepare early. Look at those surrounding small countries, and look at how he has become the Hokage's assistant.

Konoha's ambition will only continue to expand, eventually swallowing the entire ninja world. I actually hope he uses it as an excuse, because this will make it easier for us to unite the entire ninja world to deal with him!"

Speaking of this, Onoki paused for a moment before continuing.

"I have always firmly believed that whether you are Uchiha Madara or Senju Hashirama, you cannot face the entire ninja world alone.

The strength and potential of ninjas are immeasurable, especially when facing difficulties, which can stimulate infinite power.

I have also witnessed Uchiha Madara's power. He had some concerns back then and didn't kill me. It's even more so today!

Besides, I still don't believe that Shihara Shūzawa can really reach the level of Senju Hashirama and Uchiha Madara..."

"Is that so..."

Kurotsuchi looked at his old man. He wanted to say something, but in the end, he could only shake his head.

Onoki also fell silent, lowered his head, and continued reading, but the events of that year reappeared in his mind.

He had been extremely humiliated by Uchiha Madara, but Uchiha Madara ultimately did not kill him and Mu.

This made him extremely grief-stricken, but at the same time, he had a bold idea: Uchiha Madara cannot face the entire ninja world alone!

It's just a pity that he doesn't know that for Uchiha Madara,

"Lord, how could I be angry with a child?"

"Lord Raikage, our supplies have been delivered."

The summer breeze blew, and Kumogakure, located on the mountaintop, also ushered in a trace of heat.

Inside the Raikage's office, Dodai looked at the Fourth Raikage with a serious expression and said.

"According to intelligence, Iwagakure's supplies have also been delivered. At the same time, the Akatsuki members have also been dispatched in batches, waiting for an opportunity to enter Konoha."

"That's good."

The Fourth Raikage nodded. This news was not bad for him. He had been waiting for this day for a long time!

Three years ago, he lost to that brat again. He still hasn't forgotten about it.

Kumogakure paid an extremely heavy price to negotiate with Konoha and finally send him back.

Of course, he also knew that many people probably didn't want him to come back!

But Kirabi was also in Konoha's hands, which forced Kumogakure's superiors to compromise and make a decision.

All of this, for the Fourth Raikage, was a complete humiliation!

He couldn't forget such shame, and the entire Kumogakure remembered such shame even more.

No matter what, they had to find a way to protect him back!

"Lord, what do you think the result will be this time?"

Dodai looked at the silent Fourth Raikage, hesitated slightly, and finally couldn't help but ask.

"After all, that Shihara Shūzawa, he..."

"He is indeed terrifying. I will definitely not deny this!"

The Fourth Raikage shook his head, but his fist was already clenched.

"And his ambition is extremely inflated. Look at what Konoha has done in recent years?

But if we don't do something, what awaits us is only being devoured and eliminated by him. He is not Senju Hashirama!

The worst thing we can do is to place our hopes on others. This time, it is both a test and a declaration."

"The times have changed. They will definitely not allow such a person to do whatever he wants!"

"And the humiliation he gave us will eventually be repaid..."
