In a mountain valley at the border of the Land of Lightning, the Cloud Ninja's troops were stationed. Tents covered the entire valley densely. In the center of the valley, within a huge tent, the Raikage's furious roar occasionally echoed out.
"Ah ah ah ah, that damn Oonoki! I'm going to tear you apart!!!!!" Clutching the scroll in his hand tightly, the Raikage's face was incomparably enraged, like a fierce beast about to devour someone.
"Absolutely no mistake, in recent years, the elite ninjas we in Cloud Village sent out have all been inexplicably killed, and many of their heads were even cut off and taken away. The investigation showed that they were traded at the underground bounty station for black money. This should be the work of this organization." C said, gritting his teeth.
"Absolutely cannot forgive this organization, and that bunch of guys from Hidden Stone Village!!!!" Omoi roared in incomparable fury.
"Is there any intelligence on this organization?" Darui still asked very calmly, his face serious. "We have also been collecting information about this organization for years. Although it's very secretive, we still have some gains." C said faintly.
Samui, flipping through the documents in her hand, said calmly: "Although there isn't much information, it's enough to outline the general situation of this organization. The organization is named 'Akatsuki.' It's an underground mercenary organization that obtains money through assassination or participating in wars. But the most crucial issue is the members of this organization." Saying this, Samui's face also changed slightly, revealing extreme solemnity.
"What!!!! S-rank rogue ninjas!!!!!!" Hearing these words, everyone present changed greatly, including the Raikage. One must know that in the entire ninja world, S-rank rogue ninjas are very rare, but every S-rank rogue ninja is an extremely terrifying and dangerous individual.
And this organization is actually composed of S-rank rogue ninjas. Their terrifying strength is imaginable. The Raikage's face was also very grim. He asked somewhat solemnly: "How many people are in this organization?"
"The specific number is currently unclear, but there are roughly 10 people, and this organization operates in teams of two. Their movements are extremely secretive. We also spent a lot of effort to obtain this information. Moreover, the members of this organization are extremely mysterious. The identities of most of the members are still unclear. We only know that Orochimaru, one of Konoha's Sannin, seemed to have been one of its members." Samui slowly flipped through the documents in her hand, speaking solemnly.
Hearing Orochimaru's name, everyone present fell silent. The atmosphere immediately grew heavier. They also knew about Orochimaru's reputation, one of Konoha's Sannin who shook the ninja world, with extremely terrifying strength. However, he defected because he was discovered using his village comrades for forbidden jutsu experiments. He is an extremely dangerous person.
"Was?" C asked with some doubt, "Hmm, it seems that Orochimaru has already left that organization. The specific situation is unclear." Samui said.
"This is all the information we currently know." Samui put down the documents and said. "Anyway, let's deal with the Hidden Stone Village ninjas first. Don't send any more ninjas to track them. This organization has too few members, and each one is powerful. Ordinary ninjas simply cannot deal with them, and they are extremely difficult to track down. Let's repel the Hidden Stone Village first, then deal with them." The Raikage calmed down and said in a cold voice.
"Hahahahahahaha, Akatsuki is impressive. Their battle results are abundant." In a plain outside the border of the Land of Lightning, the main force of the Hidden Stone Village was stationed. In the central command tent, Oonoki held the intelligence in his hand and laughed heartily.
"Indeed, those guys seem to really enjoy slaughter. As expected of a squad composed of S-rank rogue ninjas." Kurotsuchi said with a chuckle. Although she was very wary of this organization, at least for now, she was very satisfied with Akatsuki's efficiency.
"Heh heh, the war has reached this point and is still within my expectations. After all, the forces we have currently dispatched are a bit unrealistic if we want to heavily damage the Hidden Cloud Village. However, Akatsuki, this organization, is still beyond our expectations." Oonoki said excitedly.
"Hmm, it's fortunate that the losses aren't great. After all, we're on the Land of Lightning's territory." On the other side, Kitsuchi said happily.
"Heh heh, but the Raikage's troubles don't stop there." Saying this, Oonoki's eyes, with a hint of a smile, looked towards the southern direction of the Land of Lightning.
"Hahahahahahaha..." The others in the tent immediately realized what Oonoki meant and all chuckled. "Next, we'll have to see what that Uchiha brat does. He's probably about to take action too." Oonoki said with a smirk.
In a forest at the southern border of the Land of Lightning, "Boom!!!!!!"
A huge explosion mixed with screams suddenly rang out. Smoke and dust filled the air, debris splattered, and over a dozen Cloud ninjas fell from the sky to the ground, rolling in pain.
"Damn, damn, we've actually been ambushed!!! Who is it!?" The leader of that Cloud ninja patrol team painfully supported himself with his hands on the ground, slowly raising his head to look forward.
"Hmph!!! Hmph!!!" A large amount of breaking air sounds rang out. Dozens of dark figures suddenly leaped out from the forest, standing in front of the Cloud ninjas.
The Cloud ninja's pupils sharply contracted after seeing who had arrived. "Hidden Grass Village, Hidden Grass Village!!! How could you...?! The dozens of ninjas opposite were all wearing black ninja combat uniforms, with cherry blossom-shaped forehead protectors. They were indeed ninjas from the Hidden Grass Village...
