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

Kirabi straightened up and continued.

"Akatsuki's goal is the tailed beast, and if they learn of the Nine-Tails, they will definitely take action. In this way, both their leader and members of Akatsuki will leave Amegakure and act alone."

"No, it's too dangerous, and no one knows what they will do after gathering all the tailed beasts."

Tsunade rejected Killer Bee's proposal without a second thought. She couldn't take risks with Naruto.

"Wait, we can mislead them with false information. You have always wanted to help the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki obtain the perfect Jinchuriki training method. I can tell you this."

After being rejected, Killer Bee made a trade. He knew that Konoha had always wanted a way to cultivate a perfect Jinchūriki.

"what do you mean?"

Seeing that Tsunade had loosened a little, Killer Bee stretched out a finger.

"The training method for the perfect Jinchūriki is on a small island, but there is more than one island in that ocean. We can ambush on an island in advance and pass the false information to Yugakure."

"You have to know that the sea is not like land. Yuyin cannot send a large number of people to participate in the battle. In the end, they can only let the members of Akatsuki take action."

Killer Bee’s plan is very good. If it can be done, it will deal a heavy blow to the Akatsuki organization, and the situation on the battlefield may be reversed.

"But how can we convince Akatsuki that this information is true?"

Mei Terumi raised a question, saying that no matter how good a plan is, there is nothing that can be done if it cannot be implemented.

“That’s not something I could have imagined.”

Killer Bee spread his hands. He was able to think of this plan because he relied on the earth platform of Kumogakure. How to make the people of Akatsuki believe it was not his job to think about.

Tsunade put her hand to her chin and said after thinking for a while.

"Maybe I have some ideas."

...

The meeting lasted for several days, and in the end Tsunade was appointed as the supreme commander, Mei Terumi as the chief of staff, Killer Bee as the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces, and Mifune as the daimyo guard.

At this moment, Mifune was having a video call with the daimyo and reporting the contents of this meeting to them.

"That's all. The coalition has been formed and ninjas from all villages are being deployed to the front lines. Once the manpower is ready, we will launch an attack on the Rain Country."

The Fire Country Daimyo shook his fan and covered his mouth with his hands.

"That's right. It depends on your command. Get rid of these mud legs as soon as possible. We will provide more support in terms of funds and other things."

Mifune said "of course", and then said as if he didn't care.

"In order to combat the power of the Rain Country, we also plan to have the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki go to Kumogakure to learn how to become a perfect Jinchuriki. By then, he will be able to play his due role. Specifically, he will go to..."

The daimyos nodded. They didn't care about the details, but they were quite satisfied to see that their ninjas had the attitude to solve the problem.

After Mifune finished his report, he ended the call. At this time, the door opened again, and Tsunade, Mei Terumi, and Killer Bee entered the room again.

"Is this all that's needed? Are you sure the daimyo will reveal the location?"

Kirabi couldn't imagine that their information would be leaked from the daimyo.

Tsunade moved away from Killer Bee without leaving a trace, this guy was too close.

"This is my deduction. The last surprise attack on the Amegakure unit failed completely. Until now, all members of the unit have lost contact. At that time, the only ones who knew the information were me and Ōnoki. Even the people who participated in the plan didn't know much. I have always wondered why it was exposed so thoroughly. I think there was a third person present at the time."

Tsunade bit her finger. The compensation demanded by Amegakure was frighteningly high. Until now, Konoha has been arguing about it and there has been no result yet.

Apart from knowing that the plan had failed, they did not have any clues and none of the people who participated in the surprise attack returned.

The Anbu who went to investigate only knew that several explosions occurred that day, that Ōnoki's charge at the position failed, and that they disappeared after signing the surrender agreement.

Tsunade has been thinking about how the information was leaked. Now she thinks the most likely person is Kitagawa Kagura who was present at the time.

Looking at Tsunade with a frown on her face, Mei Terumi did not say anything to disturb her. She looked away and no one knew what she was thinking.

After the meeting, the daimyo inevitably celebrated when they found a solution. This time they called most of the nobles with names and surnames and proudly spoke of the results of the meeting.

In their view, as long as there is a solution, the problem can be handled. If they pay too much attention to these peasants, it will make them appear more panicked.

"Mr. Daimyo, it looks like this matter can finally be dealt with."

Kitagawa Kagura raised a small cup of wine to congratulate the Daimyo of the Land of Fire.

The Fire Country Daimyo's face flushed and a shrill voice rang out.

"Hehe, of course these ninja villages still have a solution. Let me tell you..."

These daimyos had no sense of confidentiality and revealed everything that Mifune had just told them, including the place where Naruto would practice in the future.

It is no wonder that in order to avoid the same fate as the Daimyo of the Land of Earth, these nobles recruited many ninjas to live in their mansions. Many nobles even lived together, uniting their ninjas and not going out except in emergencies.

After being cooped up in the house for so long, I can’t help but feel proud when I see some hope.

Kitagawa Kagura listened carefully to everything the daimyo said with a smile on her face, and returned to her room as soon as the party was over.

Like the other nobles, she openly recruited many ninjas. When she returned to the room, there was a hooded ninja at the door, which did not attract any attention at all.

When she was about to step into the room, her face turned red as if she was drunk, and she told the maid that she wanted to drink some tea.

The maid was puzzled, because the young lady hated drinking tea at night, but she still left as instructed.

After Kagura entered the room, there was a new figure in the room. It was the ninja who was guarding her at the door just now.

"What's going on?"

A gentler male voice sounded. Uchiha Shisui was now openly serving as Kagura's bodyguard. The code that Kagura had just instructed the maid was to convey a message.

"Yes, I heard from the Fire Country Daimyo today that the coalition forces have some plans..."

Kagura's face turned serious, no longer looking drunk, and she told Shisui everything she had heard today.

Shisui's expression under the hood also became nervous. He took out a pen and paper and began to take notes.

The next day, everyone went back to their usual work, unaware that something turbulent was brewing underneath.

In the Hidden Rain Village, Shikamaru reported everything about the Hidden Sand Village to Ye Lan.

"Then I'll leave the task of setting up the factory in Sunagakure to you. You have some experience anyway."

Ye Lan did not plan to let Shikamaru go to the front battlefield, but he thought that letting him do some logistical work would also be helpful.

"But you know that's not a good result..."

Shikamaru said with some hesitation that the establishment of Konoha's factory area dealt him a big blow.

"You should at least believe in yourself. Besides, Yuyin and Konoha are completely different. You will have much more power. If you really encounter any problems, you can come to me."

Ye Lan encouraged him a bit, he was still very optimistic about Shikamaru.

"alright."

Shikamaru shook his head and stopped thinking about the past. He came to Yugyakushi to start over.

"Meow~"

At this time, a black cat jumped onto the table. Shikamaru took a look and saw that it was Naraku, whom he hadn't seen for some time.

Naraku stared at Ye Lan with his apricot-yellow pupils and said.

"Ye Lan, two pieces of intelligence have been sent to me. Do you want to take a look?"
