'Only Father is best at this sort of thing.'
The intelligence was processed by the Hidden Rock Village and quickly spread throughout the world.
Inside the Hidden Cloud Village, A looked at the report submitted by the scouts. He nearly went on a rampage from pure rage.
"Damn Konoha!"
"How has another genius appeared?! How long has it been since Minato Namikaze died?!"
"Why does Konoha get all the good things?!"
The Fourth Raikage became more furious the more he thought about it. He threw a punch that completely destroyed his office desk. It was a desk he had only recently replaced.
Mabui stood to the side. She witnessed the scene and silently recorded the damage. She would seek compensation from the Raikage later.
"This will not do. Mabui, go and notify Tutai!"
"Tell him to come to the office for a meeting!"
The report stated that Sarutobi Baiye possessed massive potential. He was very likely to become the next Minato Namikaze. This made the Fourth Raikage unable to sit still.
Minato Namikaze had finally died. The Hidden Cloud Village had finally started to take constant advantage of Konoha.
Sarutobi Hiruzen was an honest man. They could not allow a second Minato to appear.
Tutai arrived at the office shortly after. He finished reading the report. He felt that something was wrong, but he could not put his finger on it.
Intelligence personnel did not defect easily. However, this specific piece of intelligence made Tutai feel uncertain.
"This... what does the Raikage think?"
Tutai had been lost in thought for a long time. The Fourth Raikage nearly jumped out of the office in frustration when Tutai finally asked for his opinion.
"Enough! Notify Killer Bee and Yugito Nii!"
"Tell them to prepare for a surprise attack!"
"As long as we hit Konoha hard enough, Sarutobi Hiruzen will follow his usual patterns!"
"We will force him to hand over Sarutobi Baiye. He will surely comply, just like he did with Hyuga Hizashi!"
Tutai felt that the decision of the Fourth Raikage was acceptable. Sarutobi Hiruzen had backed down many times over the years.
This war could be fought.
The Hidden Cloud Village quickly began its preparations. Large quantities of supplies were mobilized.
On the other side was the Hidden Sand Village. After the Third Shinobi World War, the village had fallen into a state of depression.
No one knew what the Hidden Sand Village had been thinking. During the Third Shinobi World War, they actually dared to fight on three fronts. They fought Konoha, the Hidden Rock, and the Hidden Mist simultaneously.
In the end, they did not win a single battle. Pakura had gained an advantage on the Hidden Mist front, but she was sacrificed as a bargaining chip during negotiations.
They were truly weak yet loved to play dangerous games.
Rasa, the Fourth Kazekage, looked at the intelligence in his hand. He shed tears of envy. Konoha was truly a place of heroes. Geniuses appeared there one after another.
However, Rasa had no interest in taking action against Sarutobi Baiye. He felt that his time was better spent wandering the desert to find gold dust.
The Hidden Sand Village was currently deathly poor. The Third Shinobi World War had severely damaged their vitality. They had not yet recovered.
Then there was the Hidden Mist Village, another of the Five Great Shinobi Villages. The intelligence there was like a stone sinking into the ocean. It did not cause a single ripple.
The Hidden Mist was currently suffering under the Blood Mist policy. The Seven Ninja Swordsmen had either fled or died. They had no time to worry about the affairs of the shinobi world.
Even if the rest of the world fought until their brains spilled out, it had nothing to do with the Hidden Mist.
The movements of the Hidden Cloud Village soon alarmed the entire shinobi world. Onoki received the news and revealed a look that said he had expected this.
"Hahaha! I knew those brutes would be the first ones unable to sit still!"
"The show is about to begin!"
**Chapter 19: The Entire Shinobi World Is About to Become a Mess Again!**
"Tsk tsk. The shinobi world has been quite lively lately."
"It looks like another conflict is starting."
"Obito, your plan might fall through."
Obito felt extremely annoyed as he listened to Zetsu. He was already frustrated by the intelligence report.
It made no sense. A war was suddenly about to break out. This immediately disrupted all of his plans.
He had already taken revenge on Konoha once. He had released the Nine-Tails and crippled the Hidden Mist Village. He was preparing for his Eye of the Moon Plan. He wanted to create a world that only contained Rin.
However, Obito could not stand the loneliness. He had contacted Uchiha Itachi. He planned to recruit the boy into the Akatsuki organization.
Unfortunately, Sarutobi Baiye had messed everything up. Now, the Uchiha Clan had somehow stabilized. His contact with Uchiha Itachi had also been cut off.
This made Obito very angry. He had wanted to see if he could fool Uchiha Itachi into joining him.
Now, the shinobi world was going to start fighting again.
"Humph! My plan is flawless!"
"It is merely a matter of sooner or later!"
"I have recorded this debt!"
"I will settle accounts with Sarutobi Baiye!"
Obito stopped paying attention to Zetsu after speaking. In his eyes, Zetsu was merely a tool left behind by Madara to help him. He did not know that this creature was the true mastermind.
Although his plan was disrupted, Obito would not let this good opportunity pass. A great war was about to begin. The Uchiha Clan would surely go to the battlefield.
It was time to collect some more Sharingan. At the same time, he would see if he could find Uchiha Itachi on the battlefield.
If possible, he would kidnap Uchiha Itachi and bring him into the Akatsuki.
Space began to twist in front of Obito as he thought of this. A surge of suction appeared, and his entire body vanished from the spot.
"Tsk tsk tsk. It looks like Obito wants to go to Konoha to cause trouble again."
White Zetsu began to speculate as he watched Obito disappear. Black Zetsu watched everything with a sinister gaze. He did not respond to White Zetsu. No one knew what he was calculating in his head.
Elsewhere, inside the gathering place of the Akatsuki, the organization was only beginning to take shape. There were only a few members.
Aside from Pain and Konan, there were only Kisame, Kakuzu, Sasori, and Orochimaru. The others had not yet joined.
