Chapter 99 Danzo's Escape Base, Hiruzen Cleverly Captures the Training Department

"Yahiko..."

"Yahiko is dead. He died on the day Akatsuki was destroyed. Now call me Pain!"

"Okay, Payne."

Black Zetsu had spent a long time with Uchiha Kaguya and had extensive experience in dealing with this situation.

"I know about your Eye of the Moon Project, and I will carry it out. I want to create a world where the members of Akatsuki exist."

Yahiko said expressionlessly.

Uchiha Kagami and Kuro exchanged a glance; this outcome wasn't too bad.

As long as the Eye of the Moon plan can be carried out, nothing else matters.

"This is a ring I made using my Rinnegan. It can be used to contact and seal tailed beasts. Don't lose it."

Yahiko tossed the two rings to Uchiha Teru and Black Zetsu.

Yahiko's eyes were vacant; the weight of the Akatsuki's expectations on his shoulders caused him great pain.

Yahiko could let go, but he was unwilling and dared not.

"So now there are only four of us left in the Akatsuki organization."

Zetsu wore the [Mysterious] Ring on his hand, while Uchiha Teru wore the [Vermilion] Ring on his hand.

"Pain, neither the Rinnegan nor Hashirama's cells can be mastered in a short time."

"Rest well during this time. Once you've adapted to the Rinnegan, it will be time for the Akatsuki to take action."

"During this period, we will invite powerful ninjas to join the Akatsuki organization to strengthen its capabilities."

After speaking, Uchiha Hikaru vanished in a flash, and Zetsu also disappeared underground.

Yahiko watched the two disappear with his Rinnegan, muttering to himself, "Spatial abilities and aura concealment?"

"Yahiko, are you alright?"

Konan looked at Yahiko with concern.

"Madara and Black Zetsu's goal is to perform the Infinite Tsukuyomi and achieve peace in a fictional world."

"Perhaps peace is impossible to achieve in reality, so realizing the Akatsuki's ideals in a fictional world is not a bad choice."

"The Akatsuki's ideals will definitely be realized. Nagato has become my eyes and will help me see the future clearly."

In the secret base of the Land of Rain.

"Black Zetsu, although the plan deviated slightly, it has gotten back on track thanks to our efforts."

Black Zetsu nodded; this time, it was a close call, but ultimately safe.

"I'll go check out the backup plan left by Madara in the Land of Water and try to take control of Kirigakure."

"Executing the Eye of the Moon Plan will inevitably involve the Five Great Ninja Villages. Once I take control of Kirigakure, I will try to weaken the strength of the ninja villages."

"If there are any problems, have White Zetsu call me immediately, and I will teleport back right away."

Uchiha Teru turned his gaze toward Kirigakure (Hidden Mist Village).

"Indeed, the five great ninja villages are quite powerful. Yahiko alone might not be able to defeat them unless Madara is resurrected."

Black Zetsu recalled the giant armor that fought against the Gedo Mazo, "Especially Konoha, Konoha is developing too fast now."

……

Danzo arrived at Orochimaru's camp in a disheveled state.

Orochimaru was displeased to see Danzo interrupt his conversation with Shiitsu about the Guyver armor.

Two researchers are exchanging technical insights, what are you doing here, you old codger?!

"Isn't this Elder Danzo? Why do you look so disheveled after all this time?"

Orochimaru said in a sarcastic tone.

He talked with Zhiyi, and inspiration struck him, giving him a rough idea for his own bio-armor.

Bio-engineered Armor - Reaper!

This is Orochimaru's vision of a uniquely his own bio-engineered armor.

Orochimaru developed the Soul-Binding Insects, and now, in this time of war, the land is littered with the dead. Therefore, collecting soul energy is proceeding very smoothly.

But then other problems arose.

Orochimaru's soul has a limit to its efficiency in absorbing soul energy.

Each time Orochimaru absorbed something, a large portion of the soul energy dissipated into the air and was wasted.

Orochimaru felt sorry for him seeing this situation; all of this was the soul energy he had painstakingly collected.

Therefore, after learning about the characteristics of the Guyver Armor in detail, Orochimaru had a vague premonition.

The Guyver armor will help him solve this problem.

As expected, during his conversation with Shiichi, the Bio-Armor - Reaper became more and more concrete in Orochimaru's mind.

With the Bio-Armor - Reaper, he can efficiently devour soul energy, making up for the shortcomings of the Undead Reincarnation, and truly walk on the road to immortality.

This was also due to Zhiyi's guidance; these days, Zhiyi absorbed a lot of the soul energy from the Pure Land.

If the Sage of Six Paths were to investigate the accounts, the situation would become rather unfavorable.

How can we prevent powerful figures from auditing our accounts?

Fire dragon burns down the warehouse!

Zhiyi already had a plan in mind: the Sage of Six Paths would definitely be unable to check the accounts!

"snort!"

Danzo slammed his cane on the ground, ignoring Orochimaru, and demanded, "Shiichi, do you still have the Titan armor?!"

Danzo was still unwilling to give up; he was just a hair's breadth away from obtaining the Rinnegan. The power of the Gedo Mazo had left a deep impression on him.

He wanted to immediately pilot the new Titan suit and retrieve the Rinnegan.

As he ran away, Danzo could vaguely sense that Nagato was already exhausted.

At that time, Danzo was so terrified by the approaching demonic statue that he dared not stop.

They ran all the way to Konoha's western base camp.

Without the Titan armor, Danzo had no confidence to test the Rinnegan, fearing he might be trapped by it.

"Teacher, the Titan armor was originally an experimental model, and there's only one. If the damage isn't too severe, I can try to repair it."

Danzo thought of the Tailed Beast Ball from the Gedo Mazo and the giant armor that had been instantly killed, and fell silent for a moment.

……

Leaf.

Hiruzen Sarutobi was taken aback when he received Orochimaru's information.

He knew Danzo must have had a purpose in going to the western front, but he didn't expect that Danzo would actually take the Titan armor with him.

Hiruzen Sarutobi was also paying attention to the Titan armor; after all, it was a powerful weapon of war, and as the Hokage, how could he not be concerned?

Once the giant armor is completed, we will classify it as a forbidden technique.

In this way, the Titan armor would be his for the taking.

Unexpectedly, Danzo, disregarding martial ethics, simply took the Titan armor with him.

According to the intelligence, the Titan's armor has been completely destroyed.

Danzo must have embezzled it!

Based on Hiruzen Sarutobi's understanding of Danzo, Danzo was capable of doing such a thing.

But after his anger subsided, Hiruzen Sarutobi calmed down, and this was an opportunity.

Danzo and Shiichi have become too powerful in the training department.

Just like this time, they took the Titan armor away without him even knowing.

Anti-corruption! We must fight corruption!

"Shin-no-suke, you will set up a surveillance team to monitor the Training Department. You will be able to investigate everything that happens in the Training Department. We can't let Danzo run rampant any longer."

"They even dared to steal the Titan armor! How can we possibly manage Konoha with such parasites around!"

"Orochimaru has requested the Guyver Armor. You are in charge of this mission. Make sure the Guyver Armor is delivered to the ninjas at the front lines on time!"

"Yes, Lord Hokage."

After hearing this, Sarutobi Shinnosuke disappeared.
