Chakra filled the entire room, and the already delicate negotiation atmosphere suddenly became tense.

Mifune, who was chairing the meeting, was about to say something when my pupil power subtly moved - because of the presence of Madara-samaran, although I did not seem to have the ability to communicate directly with the Outer Path Statue for the time being, I did have a subtle sense of the Outer Path Statue.

The sudden twitching of my eyes just now seemed to be a feeling of chakra being injected.

I know that they are already extracting the Eight-Tails' chakra.

But it just twitched for a moment and then it ended. When I felt it again, the fluctuations there had completely calmed down.

I see - it seems that although Kisame made a big scene, it did not change the final direction of the whole thing. Ushiki and Killer Bee cooperated very well, and the two trusted each other and knew each other's abilities well.

Therefore, if he was able to hide the Sharingan's clone, he could naturally hide it from Kisame's eyes.

The amount of chakra that was stripped off from the tailed beast was too small, just one tentacle of the Gyu-ki.

"There's no need to be so nervous. Your Excellency Raikage, don't worry at all. Your brother is fine, and the Gyu-oh - the Eight-Tails - did not fall into the hands of "Xiao." I suddenly spoke, breaking the stalemate.

When the Raikage heard what I said, he almost jumped over and grabbed my collar, "How do you know!"

I didn't answer him directly, but looked at Tsuna.

Although I did not join Konoha, I came to the meeting as the Hokage's bodyguard after all, so of course I had to symbolically ask for Tsuna's opinion.

She was now very curious about my answer, but for the sake of face, she could only pretend to have everything under control and nodded slightly at me.

"Please be careful about impolite behavior." Mifune spoke at the right time, and the guards of each "shadow" retreated to the back when he finished speaking.

The atmosphere calmed down and Gang waved at me, motioning me to come to the front and talk.

I also took a few steps forward without hesitation. To be honest, I was a little grateful for the shame I felt in my last life when it broke through the bottom line, which allowed me to give up my shame to a certain extent.

If it were me in the past, I would have lost my voice if I had to talk in front of so many eyes.

"It's Sasuke's news. They have found a base of Akatsuki and also ran into the scene where the tailed beast was peeled off." Of course I won't tell anyone about the Rinnegan directly. Don't we still have Sasuke and Itachi to act as shields?

It was just right to pull Sasuke out and add a layer of buff. After all, in the eyes of many other people, his identity as a traitor was not completely eliminated.

The Raikage resisted the urge to rush over and tell me to finish my words without keeping me in suspense, and asked calmly, "What about Bi, does that Uchiha brat have the ability to fight against "Xiao"? "

"I just got the news, too," I said, tapping my right eyelid with my finger, exchanging glances with Gangshou, and then said, "Long-distance mental transmission is not stable, but the point is clear, Xiao has not captured your brother at all."

"What do you mean!"

"According to what Sasuke saw, what Akatsuki caught was just a clone with the Tailed Beast's chakra. However, it was indeed very deceptive, and even an ordinary Sharingan could hardly detect it at a glance." This was true, as Sasuke's Mangekyō Sharingan had been deceived in the past.

Its concealment can be seen.

The Raikage was visibly stunned for a moment. The feeling of such a strong man suddenly becoming blind was actually a little subtle.

However, the Raikage, who knew his brother very well, reacted quickly.

“That bastard!” Lightning appeared unconsciously from the Raikage’s body, and his hair stood up due to the electric current. “He actually took this opportunity to escape and go out to play! This is unforgivable!”

I leaned over and whispered to the seated Tsunayoshi, "The information is true."

After giving the planner some reassurance, I returned to my original position.

I always felt a little uncomfortable, so I used the mirror hidden in the palm of my hand to take a quick look at myself.

Nothing strange.

Killer Bee's safety was guaranteed, and the Raikage's mood improved a lot. Although in essence, it was his brother who avoided the attack of "Xiao" by himself.

However, his favorability towards Sasuke and Konoha also increased - after all, although Sasuke was a traitor, he had never done anything harmful to the Hidden Cloud Village. At the same time, because in his understanding, it should be Tsuna who sent Sasuke to find the base of "Akatsuki" after receiving his request, and he really came to the conclusion that Killer Bee was safe.

This is a favor, and a straightforward person like him appreciates this kind of favor the most.

The following talks were much more harmonious, because since it involved the tailed beast, it was inevitable to discuss the issue of "Xiao".

Soon, everyone started talking about the past when various countries - especially the Land of Wind, or the Sand Village - had a clear employment relationship with "Akira".

The words directly attributed the ninja village to the concept of "military equipment". After the three ninja wars, the mainland tended to be stable, so compared to training experienced ninjas as new military weapons for a long time, the cost of directly hiring "Xiao" was obviously lower.

Before that, "Xiao" did take on all kinds of orders, and the price was not even very high - especially for a country, this price could even be described as "low".

Each village has relatively unknown information, but they are all more or less candid during the interviews.

For example, in the Hidden Mist Village, the previous Mizukage was suspected to be manipulated by "Xiao", and the deaths of the Third Kazekage and the Third Hokage were also closely related to "Xiao".

The Tsuchikage himself admitted that he had hired someone to use "Akira", but he also shifted the blame to everyone present, because each village and country had a period of frantic expansion of "armaments" and collection of ninjutsu, so naturally there would be people who wanted to take some measures.

The Tsuchikage is just one of them.

"I heard that the leader of Akatsuki attacked Konoha some time ago. Seeing that His Highness the Hokage arrived at the meeting on time, I guess the crisis has been dealt with. I wonder if you can share with us the intelligence of the leader of Akatsuki?" The Mizukage's voice was very gentle, at least it sounded comfortable, not as strong as the Tsuchikage and the Raikage.

But I also know that anyone who can become the Mizukage is naturally not a good person.

"Regarding this point, Konoha has already sorted out the intelligence." Tsunade said, calling Shikamaru over. He distributed the scrolls he brought to several "Kages" and Mifune from a neutral country.

I could also see the scroll in Tsunade's hand clearly from behind.

This is a report that analyzes Nagato's abilities in as much detail as possible - naturally, there is a lot of information about the Rinnegan in it.

I would have told it directly, and it would no longer be a secret. However, before writing this report, the draftsman sent someone to tell me in advance that he wanted to release some information about the Samsara Eye.

It was considered as advance notice, so I naturally did not refuse.

"The Samsara Eye is an advanced Sharingan?!" The Tsuchikage, who had worked with "Xiao" before and had a very direct understanding of the Uchiha clan, had naturally seen the Samsara Eye and had also learned about the Sharingan. "Could it be that the leader of "Xiao" is from the Uchiha clan!"

His words instantly drew everyone's attention to me. After all, my coat was printed with the Uchiha family crest, which hinted at my identity.

"Yes and no." Tsuna answered the question. She had discussed the contents of the scroll with a specialist in the village. "The apparent leader, Pain, is not from the Uchiha clan. We have not tracked him down. He was taken away by an attacker, and the attacker also killed his partner, a female ninja named Konan."

In order to prove the truth of his words, Tsunayoshi also took out Xiaonan's ring.

Of course, this ring has been specially treated to eliminate the chakra tracking and communication functions contained therein.

"Someone attacked Pain..." The Tsuchikage pondered over Tsuna's words.

"What does 'the apparent leader' mean? Could it be that Pain is not the real leader of 'Xiao'?" Gaara searched his memories. After he was captured by 'Xiao' and before the tailed beast was stripped away, he had a brief moment of consciousness.

The person who was giving orders at the chief seat at that time was undoubtedly the figure who had taken away the picture. The double Rinnegan also left a deep impression on him.

Isn't that person the real ruler of "Xiao"?

"If the Rinnegan is a type of Sharingan, then the person behind the scenes must be an Uchiha." The Mizukage peeled off the clues and got to the essence.

But when I opened the scroll, there was no mention of any speculation related to Uchiha.

"The Uchiha clan has been exterminated for many years, and it is difficult to reach a definite conclusion in the short term, so Lord Tsunade did not write his initial guess in the scroll." Shikamaru answered the Mizukage's question.

This is a serious matter, and they all represent a certain authority, so they naturally cannot make irresponsible guesses at will.

I think Tsuna had some doubts about Ban Ye after talking to me, but he was not sure.

"The Uchiha in "Akatsuki"... Uchiha Itachi?" The Tsuchikage said while observing Tsuna's expression, trying to find out something from her face.

But this time, Tsuna shook his head firmly, "Let's not talk about whether Uchiha Itachi is old enough to be the leader of "Akatsuki". He left "Akatsuki" for unknown reasons not long ago. It can't be him."

"Why are you so sure, Hokage?" The Tsuchikage could not help but ask aggressively. The intelligence range of the Land of Earth, Iwagakure Village, is actually quite wide, and it can often surprise people in wars.

Itachi-kun made quite a fuss in Konoha that day, and people from other villages might have gotten the information.

At this time, the more you try to hide, the more guilty you appear.

So Tsuna was quite frank, "When Pein attacked Konoha, Uchiha Itachi helped Konoha fight Pein. If they had not broken up, it would not have happened."

"Uchiha Itachi returned to Konoha?!" The Mizukage frowned. Her reaction was the most intense. I guess Itachi had done something in the Hidden Mist Village during the "Akatsuki" period.

"No, he probably has his own purpose. He left long ago after Pain was kidnapped, and his whereabouts are unknown now." Shikamaru replied seriously.

The reason why Shikamaru had to answer was because to Tsuna, Itachi's whereabouts were unknown was a lie.

But based on Shikamaru's information, this should be the case. Of course, Shikamaru can guess a lot, but he can pretend that he has not guessed.

Although it's not something that will be exposed, it's always good to be more careful.

"Judging from the time when Akatsuki was founded, the Uchiha clan had not yet been exterminated at that time, so there are indeed many possibilities." The Raikage continued, easing the tense atmosphere in the conversation, "But being able to establish an organization like Akatsuki is not something that ordinary Uchiha can do. The strongest person of the Uchiha clan of the same era that I can think of is the patriarch of the Uchiha clan at that time, Uchiha Fugaku, who is said to be the owner of the Mangekyō Sharingan."

"But, Uchiha Fugaku is dead. He was the first to bear the brunt of the Uchiha clan's extermination night. There should be no problem with this information." The Tsuchikage said and asked Tsuna for confirmation.

Tsuna nodded, "There is no doubt about that. We in Konoha are suspicious of someone else."

"Why keep it a secret at this time? Just say what you want to say!" The Raikage leaned back in his chair and crossed his arms over his chest. Impatient people hate it most when someone only reveals half of what they want to say.

If it weren't for what happened with his younger brother just now, he would probably be even more angry.

The outliner is actually also impatient, but her guess was too severe, so she acted like this.

"We at Konoha have combined the intelligence and clues we have so far, and finally came to the conclusion that it is one person—"

"Uchiha, Madara."
