The Final Plan

Beneath Konoha Village

The man with age spots and a weathered face sat on the wooden throne, with several more chairs placed beneath him.

Sitting in the chair were Fengtian, Shisui, Sasori, and Obito, who had just finished his training!

A month has passed since the previous battle with Kumogakure. During this time, Fengtian has instructed everyone to stay underground in Konoha Village, waiting for the right opportunity to go out and take action.

"By the grace of Heaven..."

"Have you got any ideas about the next action plan?"

The man with age spots sat high on the throne, looking down arrogantly at the crowd below, his words carrying a hint of domineering arrogance.

Upon hearing this, Fengtian did not rise, but leaned back in his chair, tapped the armrest lightly with his finger, and slowly replied:

"The plan is already finalized in my mind, but we still have to wait..."

"Wait? How long do we have to wait? I can't wait to go out and wreak havoc!"

Before the old man could even speak, Obito, who was standing to the side, couldn't hold back any longer and hurriedly urged Fengtian to start taking action.

Since Obito returned to this underground place, he has not gone out for several months.

As the most active and energetic person around, he naturally couldn't resist the urge to go out for some fresh air!

"Tch, little brat..."

Sasori glanced at Obito sideways and said with displeasure.

"What did you say? Who's the little brat?!"

Upon hearing this, Obito felt a surge of anger well up inside him.

He turned to look at Sasori beside him, his eyes already switched to the Mangekyou Sharingan, and responded.

"Hmm? You want to fight?"

When Sasori saw that Obito had switched to the Mangekyou Sharingan, he assumed that Obito was ready for battle!

So he got up and quickly threw out a reel.

"Bang!"

As the smoke dissipated, the Third Kazekage puppet had been released by him.

The two stood facing each other, neither willing to give in!

"That's enough!"

At that moment, even the old man with age spots couldn't help but speak up:

"What does this mean? Do you want to turn this place upside down?!"

After the old man with age spots finished speaking, Obito reluctantly shut down his Mangekyou Sharingan, then plopped down on a wooden chair, sulking to himself.

Seeing this, Sasori didn't say much, put away the Third Kazekage puppet, and returned to his chair with a disgruntled expression.

The man with the age spots silently observed all of this, then nodded in satisfaction. He turned his gaze to Fengtian and continued to ask:

"What are your thoughts? What are your next steps...?"

"It's very simple..."

Fengtian's lips curled slightly upward as he continued:

"Ever since we wreaked havoc in both Sunagakure and Kumogakure, the entire ninja world has come to know the purpose of our [Twilight] organization..."

"That means capturing the Tailed Beasts!"

"We have now obtained the One-Tailed, Two-Tailed, Three-Tailed, and Eight-Tailed!"

"Next, Lord Madara, can you guess what the leaders of the entire ninja world, the Kage of each village, will do?"

After saying this, Fengtian looked at the age spots with anticipation, waiting for the other party's response.

The man with the age spot paused for a moment, then slowly said:

"They will protect the Tailed Beasts to prevent us from obtaining the remaining ones..."

"That's right! Lord Madara!"

At this moment, Fengtian revealed a smug smile and continued speaking:

In other words, they will collect all the tailed beasts and protect them collectively!

"In other words, we don't need to do anything else. We just need to wait for them to collect all the Tailed Beasts, then launch a full-scale war and take them all in one fell swoop!"

At this point, Shisui, who was standing to the side, also spoke up and asked:

"What if they hide their tailed beasts so well that we can't find them?"

Upon hearing this, Fengtian turned to look at Zhishui and continued:

"This is where you'll need to use your [Kotoamatsukami]..."

"I've been preventing you from using [Kotoamatsukami] all along, precisely for the sake of this final execution of the plan!"

"All we need to do during the battle is capture a high-ranking member and use [Kotoamatsukami] to find the location of the Tailed Beasts..."

Upon hearing this, Shisui nodded slightly, agreeing to Fengtian's plan!

There's another crucial point!

The reason why Fengtian spent so much effort in Kumogakure to erase the memories of the Fourth Hokage, A, and others, and had Sasori drag out the ninjas from Kumogakure, was to hide an important piece of information.

That was their trump card—Uchiha Madara in his prime!

Even if the entire ninja world were to come together, they would still be no match for Madara Uchiha at his peak!

They were unaware of Fengtian's trump card and believed they had the strength to fight, which is why they were able to collect the tailed beasts and protect them together.

But if they find out that Fengtian has such a trump card, then they won't collect all the tailed beasts!

Instead, they would choose to completely seal the tailed beasts and hide them in the vast sea of ​​people, making their plans impossible to carry out!

Concealing Madara Uchiha's existence and blatantly capturing the Tailed Beasts, he forced the ninja world to gather and protect all the Tailed Beasts. Finally, through Madara Uchiha's power and Shisui's Kotoamatsukami, he captured all the Tailed Beasts in one fell swoop!

This is Fengtian's final plan!

After hearing about Fengtian's entire plan, the old man nodded slightly, then slowly closed his eyes and entered a meditative state.

...

Konoha Village of the Land of Fire

At this moment, the Third Hokage (Hiruzen Sarutobi) was in his office, his hands supporting his chin, deep in thought.

Standing before him was Danzo Shimura, the leader of Konoha's Anbu!

"Monkey, what are you still hesitating for? They're waiting for us to give them an answer. Can't you make a decision by now?"

After a moment, seeing that Hiruzen Sarutobi had not spoken for a long time, Danzo, who was standing to the side, also spoke up and questioned him.

However, Hiruzen Sarutobi merely glanced at Danzo indifferently, without blaming Danzo for his rude behavior.

After a moment of silence, he slowly said:

"This matter is of utmost importance; as Hokage, I must consider the village's well-being!"

Upon hearing this, Danzo felt a wave of disappointment towards Hiruzen Sarutobi. He turned around angrily and walked out of the Hokage's office with a resentful look on his face.

Seeing this, Hiruzen Sarutobi sighed helplessly.

He couldn't help but recall the initial discussion among the villagers a few days ago, which gave him a headache.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

A knock on the door interrupted Hiruzen Sarutobi's thoughts as he was deep in contemplation.

He raised his head, his eyes revealing a hint of focus and composure, and then said softly:

"Please come in..."

As the words fell, the office door was slowly pushed open, and a figure walked in.

That was Konoha's yellow flash, Minato Namikaze!

"Third Hokage, the Kage from the other villages have begun arriving at the meeting room and would like to invite you to attend..."
