In the Kingdom of Frost, the cold wind that keeps blowing from the northern ice ocean has already brought this not-so-large country into winter early.

In the warmer Fire Kingdom, the leaves had just turned yellow and were beginning to fall, and the Frost Kingdom had already seen several snowfalls.

It is still a little far from a world of ice and snow, but the trickling water in the rivers and lakes has begun to freeze.

Only the water veins deep underground are less affected by the cold climate on the surface and still flow slowly in the deep underground rivers.

In the huge hollow cave, several figures had just performed the Nine Seals of the Phantom Dragon to seal the Three-Tailed Isobu and the Four-Tailed Isobu into the Outer Path Demon Statue.

A huge, ferocious monster with several strange-looking eyes on its face. Two of the eyes that were originally closed opened.

Originally, it was just a shell with life left after the Ten-Tails extracted its chakra. After the chakra of several tailed beasts were replenished, the motionless big guy gradually gained a hint of spiritual breath and no longer looked like a lifeless dead object.

"Finally, there is some progress. Otherwise, the loss would be too great, which is really a bit discouraging."

The business was done, and Bai Jue, who had a bit of a talkative nature, couldn't wait to sigh.

Uchiha Obito, who had performed the Phantom Dragon Nine Seals, was still wearing the Uzumaki mask, but the style of the mask had changed greatly. The Sharingan in his right eye remained, but the extra left eye socket on the mask revealed the appearance of the Rinnegan.

"The organization is running out of manpower. It took so long to seal the two tailed beasts with just a few of us."

The number of official members of the Akatsuki organization is half less than before, and it is indeed a bit difficult for the remaining people to perform this powerful sealing technique.

Uchiha Obito's slightly frivolous words made Kakuzu, who was originally watching coldly, extremely dissatisfied.

"You must be the gangster in the original organization, right? I didn't expect you to be so deep and have such a secret. The leader is dead, and you can obtain the Samsara Eye and replace him. I have no objection, but you dare to call yourself Uchiha Madara?"

Kakuzu snorted coldly, and it was hard to tell whether there was a disdainful expression under his mask.

"It's fine if you can fool other people, but you dare to tell such a big lie in front of me. You are too naive. Who do you think I am? I have tried to assassinate the first Hokage, Hashirama Senju. I have lived from the Warring States Period to the present. I have met Uchiha Madara several times. You are definitely not him. Moreover, you are much weaker than him. Even with the Rinnegan, you are far from his opponent."

Uchiha Obito was not at all affected by Kakuzu's questioning, but replied calmly:

"My name is just a code name. I have long abandoned my own name. No matter who you think I am, it does not affect the fact that I am your leader."

“Really?”

Kakuzu still questioned in a very tough manner.

"Itachi Uchiha and the leader are both dead. The enemy is too strong, which is understandable. However, the intelligence clearly shows that the 'White Tiger' is safe and sound, why didn't he show up?"

Apart from Uchiha Obito, Zetsu, Hoshigaki Kisame, Kakuzu and Hidan, there is no other trace of this female ninja who was worshipped as an angel.

"The member of the organization once codenamed 'White Tiger' is indeed alive, but he has now left the organization with the body of the leader and is currently missing. If you want to know more, you can go find him yourself. We don't have the energy to care about these irrelevant people now."

"Really?"

Kakuzu snorted coldly, and the shadow of the Phantom Body Technique disappeared in an instant.

As for the other member of the immortal duo, Hidan, he scratched his ears nonchalantly and asked nonchalantly:

"Since you are the new leader, I need to ask, is the promise made by the previous leader still valid?"

"The organization's style of doing things is naturally different from before."

Uchiha Obito replied.

"I will ignore all previous promises, but I will not interfere with the actions of each member..."

"In other words, I can still please the Evil God however I want? That's good!"

Hidan nodded in satisfaction.

"As long as it doesn't affect my spreading of the Evil God's faith, it doesn't matter who becomes the leader. I hope that you, as the leader, won't die as miserably as the previous one."

After saying this, the afterimage of Feiduan's Phantom Body Technique also disappeared.

Hoshigaki Kisame, who was indifferent to what had just happened, disappeared silently without saying a word.

Only Zetsu and Uchiha Obito were left at the scene to recover their chakra.

"This organization is about to collapse."

Jue sighed.

"They were just used as tools. Now, it's useless to talk about any organization. As long as they can help collect the tailed beasts, it will be fine."

They don't even have to obey orders, as long as they can cause trouble for their opponents and divert the enemy's attention. They will no longer be the main fighting force in the future.

"It's time to prepare for war!"

Now that the war has begun, there is no need to look ahead or behind. All combat power that can be used will be taken into consideration.

The showdown between the elites has begun, and the war that will sweep across the entire ninja world is imminent. This time, no one can stay out of it.

…

In the dust and sand of the Kingdom of Wind, Kakuzu walked quietly in front, while Hidan continued to follow slowly and chatter behind.

"Hey, Kakuzu, why did you say that? I thought you were just like me, indifferent to the affairs of the organization, but I didn't expect you to question the new leader like that."

Hidan took a few quick steps and walked side by side with Kakuzu, then asked Kakuzu with his head turned sideways.

"Come to think of it, we've been partners for so long, and I still don't know why you joined the organization."

Kakuzu, who seemed a little depressed, suddenly stopped.

"You have asked this question over and over again for five times. If you don't want to die here, shut up."

"Eh? If you don't want to talk about it, then don't talk about it. Why such a big reaction? Is there some hidden secret? Oh, by the way, you asked about the 'White Tiger' at the end. Could it be that what you care about is actually the whereabouts of that female ninja?"

As soon as Hidan finished speaking, the air around them suddenly choked, and murderous intent spread outward from Kakuzu unscrupulously.

"Hidan, even though you're hard to kill, sometimes being alive is worse than being dead. Do you want to give it a try?"

"Wow, that's really scary."

Hidan said jokingly with an exaggerated expression.

"I guess I guessed it right..."

What answered Feiduan was several sharp wind blades that cut Feiduan's body into several pieces!
