I just returned to Konoha and found that all my clan members were gone.

"Is the Nine-Tailed Fox really that powerful?"

As Naruto's former teammate, Sasuke was quite curious. He knew a little about Scorpion's strength. He was definitely a master, but he was unable to deal with him just because he revealed five tails.

"Let's leave the Nine-Tailed Fox to the leader. Scorpion, how are you guys doing now? Can you still go to the Land of Water?"

Ye Lan looked at Scorpion and said, this was the first time he saw Scorpion like this.

"Deidara and I need to go back to the village to resupply before we can set off. We consumed a lot of puppets this time, and Deidara doesn't have much clay left."

One advantage of Scorpio is that no matter what they do, they will be very cautious and express their needs themselves.

"Then you should go back to the village first, and be careful not to be followed."

Payne then gave an order.

Sasori and Deidara nodded and said nothing more.

"Chief, how is Xiaonan doing?"

After solving the problem with Scorpion's group, Ye Lan began to ask about the war situation with the Grass Kingdom.

Payne first glanced at Xiaonan beside him, and Xiaonan spoke after getting the signal.

"It's only a matter of time before Kusagakure is taken down. The Daimyo of the Land of Grass never supported them in the first place. It's just that Iwagakure and Konoha have issued severe warnings and condemnations to us."

Xiaonan still doesn't understand how these big countries do things, so he spoke hesitantly.

"Iwagakure has already signed a non-aggression pact with us. That guy Ōnoki can't bring himself to start a war unless it's absolutely necessary. As for Konoha, just listen to what he says. I think I know Tsunade's character pretty well."

Ye Lan said after analysis.

"Thanks to the war for diverting attention, otherwise the capture of the Five-Tail would not have been so smooth."

Kisame interjected that they were able to capture the Five-Tails so smoothly because, firstly, the Jinchūriki was rejected by the village and secondly, most people's attention was drawn to the war.

The attention of the Sand Village was diverted because of Gaara, otherwise they would not have taken no action.

"But after the incident with the One-Tail, the other villages will definitely be more vigilant. Not to mention the rest of Konoha will definitely be suspicious."

Kakuzu, who has the most seniority, spoke up and said, there's nothing you can do about it, Gaara's identity is too sensitive.

"Then let's create a big noise to divert their attention."

Ye Lan had already made plans in his mind.

"It seems like you want to cause a big commotion in Kumogakure?"

Kakuzu narrowed his green pupils. He had already seen through Ye Lan's plan.

"It's just that I haven't exercised for a long time, and I feel like my body is about to rust."

Ye Lan stretched lazily. In his opinion, the previous fights with Kakashi and Kai were just like playing house.

Even though he was a time traveler, the warlike blood of the Uchiha clan had always been flowing in his body. He had never fought with his full strength since returning from the sacrifice site of the Thunder Falcon clan.

It depends on whether the Raikage can let him satisfy his desire this time. I heard that this guy is now the fastest man in the ninja world. I wonder how he compares to him now.

"Don't be careless, Ye Lan. After all, we are still facing a village. We just need to capture the Jinchūriki."

Looking at the confident Ye Lan, Pain still reminded him that Ye Lan was a very important part of the tailed beast's plan.

"I understand. Let's seal the Five-Tails first."

...

The attention of the entire ninja world is focused on the war between the Land of Grass and the Land of Rain. At the very least, the attention will be focused on the capture of the Kazekage.

But no one pays attention to the Land of Rice Fields and the Village Hidden in Sound.

"That's it, hehe."

Orochimaru looked at the experimental data in front of him with a slightly surprised expression. After several studies on the Sharingan, Orochimaru had some guesses in his mind.

However, three magatama still could not fully confirm his guess, and three magatama alone could not satisfy his appetite.

"Lord Orochimaru."

As Orochimaru's assistant, Kabuto is always by Orochimaru's side. At this moment, he ran over with a panicked look on his face.

"Dou, what happened again?"

Orochimaru knew Kabuto's character. Since he showed such an expression, something big might have happened in the ninja world again.

Even though he was in Orochimaru's base, Kabuto still looked around carefully. The mysterious Uchiha and his teammates all had strange hidden abilities that he had to be on guard against.

Finally, he whispered in Orochimaru's ear about what had happened recently in the ninja world.

"Interesting, the Akatsuki people really took action. And the war launched by the Rain Country, hehe, it seems that the leader has matured a lot more than before."

As a former member of Akatsuki, Orochimaru knew some information. He certainly knew that Akatsuki was actually the behind-the-scenes controller of Amegakure.

"Lord Orochimaru, there is one more thing I think you must always be vigilant about."

Dou looked outside the door with some fear, afraid that other people might suddenly appear.

"Oh, anything else interesting?"

"That guy has collected a lot of ninja corpses recently, including many powerful ones in their lifetime. Lord Orochimaru, I remember that you have already handed over the Impure World Reincarnation to him. What if..."

Kabuto looked a little fearful, as he didn't know where that plant-shaped humanoid creature got so many corpses from. He was very wary of some of the strong men, as they were all guys who were once famous in the ninja world.

"Have you found out about that guy's identity?"

He also saw Obito's actions, which was also the reason why he never turned against him.

Dou shook his head, looking embarrassed.

"Konoha's alert has been raised too much. I only heard that the guy seemed to have attacked Konoha, but the area was small and only a few jonin had contact with him. I didn't get any other information."

"However, Kakashi has lost his Sharingan now. It is probably taken away by that guy."

Konoha also kept the information about Obito very strictly blocked. Apart from the few people who fought with Obito at that time, only Tsunade knew about it. Tsunade did not even tell the consultants about this matter.

"Are you sure Kakashi has had his Sharingan taken away from him?"

Orochimaru's pupils became like snakes, staring at Kabuto and said.

Kabuto suddenly felt the pressure from the other party and spoke truthfully.

"Yes, I heard that when Sunagakure fought against the Akatsuki organization, they didn't even use the famous Raikiri, but instead developed a technique called Shiden."

After hearing what Kabuto said, Orochimaru couldn't help but stick out his tongue.

"Things are becoming more and more interesting. It seems I have to make some plans."

"Lord Orochimaru, are you ready?"

Kabuto adjusted his glasses. He knew that when Orochimaru showed this expression, it meant that he was excited.

"First, I need to solve the problem of my missing soul. No matter how many conspiracies and tricks we have, we need to have the strength to match them. We are not qualified to go on stage right now."

Orochimaru muttered as he looked at his somewhat limp arms.

"Dou, get ready and inform Honglian that we are going out."
