Chapter 191 Everyone did it
"Don't you know too?" The Fourth Raikage sneered, "How you know is exactly how I know!"
"How did I know that?!" Tsunade's expression changed several times.
How else could she have known? Of course, she found out while Qianyu was still working.
According to the Raikage, if his information was also provided by Chiba, then that means...
"That's right!" The enraged Raikage slammed his fist on the table, and the poor, nearly new table was reduced to pieces again under Yamato's twitching eyes.
Practice makes perfect, and the Shadow Guards stepped forward again, shielding the Shadows from the debris.
The second time they made their move, they were no longer as nervous as the first time. In the gaps between their attacks, they even had time to exchange a glance and reveal the wry smiles of working-class people.
But the Shadow Guards didn't have that lingering effect.
Because the Fourth Raikage coldly said, "I also know that the leader of Akatsuki was trained by your Konoha!"
"Back in the Second Shinobi World War, after fighting Hanzo of the Salamander, you, Orochimaru, and Jiraiya encountered three children from the Land of Rain. Am I right, Tsunade?"
"!!!"
Tsunade was speechless.
After all, this was a secret among the three legendary Sannin, and she couldn't understand how the Raikage knew about it.
And what the Raikage meant by saying that was...
"The leader of Akatsuki is Jiraiya's disciple?" Tsunade asked incredulously.
"You don't know? Oh right, the person who gave me the information also said that you didn't look at it carefully at the time."
The Raikage revealed a sinister smile: "So you don't know that among the three people Jiraiya adopted that year, one had the Rinnegan, and it was that Rinnegan that founded Akatsuki!"
"The Rinnegan!!?" Upon hearing the legendary name, everyone was in an uproar.
Temari hurriedly asked, "Is it really the Rinnegan? Isn't that an eye that only exists in legends?"
The Fourth Raikage shook his head: "It's a pity, Kazekage-sama, the Rinnegan is not a legend, but a real thing!"
"That's amazing!" Ohnoki exclaimed in a low voice.
“Yes, those are the eyes of the legendary Sage of Six Paths!” Mei Terumi chimed in.
“But if that’s the case…” Mei Terumi frowned.
While all the major ninja villages have collected ancient ninja legends, the villages of Konoha, Kumogakure, and Kirigakure are the most knowledgeable about them.
After all, Konoha has the Senju Uchiha clan, and the Land of Lightning, where the Cloud Ninja resides, is a remote place with many ancient ruins. While the Mist Ninja may not have the same foundation as Konoha, they have many bloodline clans with extensive lineages.
However, when it comes to the level of understanding between individuals, compared to Tsunade, who is a Senju but loves gambling, Mei Terumi, the Fourth Raikage, who is a Cloud Ninja but is not good at writing, understands her best.
So she was suddenly horrified: "Legend has it that the Tailed Beasts were created by the Sage of Six Paths. Raikage, you said that the leader of Akatsuki has the Rinnegan, doesn't that mean...!"
“Yes!” The Fourth Raikage nodded: “Akatsuki has a way to completely control the Tailed Beasts and turn them into war machines!”
"Is the intelligence reliable?" Onoki asked solemnly.
"Reliable!" The Fourth Raikage gave Tsunade a meaningful look: "After all, the one who gave me the information was that Phoenix Temple Chiba from Konoha!"
"What!!?"
"Qianyu?"
"Qianyu!"
Tsunade, Mei Terumi, and Temari exclaimed in turn.
Meanwhile, the live stream chat was also buzzing with activity.
"The information was actually provided by Qianyu?"
"I mean, why is it so accurate!"
"What does Chiba want to do by giving out this information?"
I can't figure it out.
"I don't understand, meow!"
The group, filled with doubt, continued to look towards the Five Kage Summit.
"Hmph!" The Fourth Raikage gave them a sarcastic look: "Look, aren't you two on good terms?"
“Uh…” Tsunade, Mei Terumi, and Temari looked at each other, unable to answer.
The Fourth Raikage didn't let them off the hook: "Tsunade, I won't even mention how Konoha trained Phoenix Temple Chiba before, but let me tell you, after you became Hokage, you treated her like a disciple, teaching her medical ninjutsu, right?"
"Mizukage, don't think I don't know. Phoenix Temple Chiba also played a decisive role in your succession process. This is information that Danzo sold out."
"Finally, there's the Kazekage. During the attack by Akatsuki, you and that eyebrowless guy behind you were actually rescued by Phoenix Temple Chiyo. It was Chiyo who made the deal!"
"..."
Tsunade, Mei Terumi, and Temari were speechless.
Upon hearing this, the members of the Shadow Guard who were attending the event, as well as the viewers in the live broadcast room, looked at each other with strange expressions.
So, the huge Akatsuki was not only established and taught by people from Konoha, but the people in Akatsuki also had close ties with the major ninja villages!
So is this an external enemy or an internal traitor?
I can't tell them apart, I just can't!
"Heh!" Onoki, who had been observing coldly from the sidelines, chuckled coldly: "So that's how it is. I think the enemy isn't outside, but right here, inside us!"
Upon hearing Onoki's words, the three kage of fire, wind, and water felt their hearts sink even further.
However, what Onoki didn't expect was that when he spoke up to help the Fourth Raikage mock him, the Fourth Raikage not only didn't appreciate it, but instead yelled at him directly:
"Alright, stop pretending to be high and mighty, Tsuchikage-sama. Didn't you make a deal with that Phoenix Temple Chiba?"
"what?"
The Fourth Raikage's words stunned everyone else.
"What does 'transaction' mean?" Temari looked at Onoki blankly.
That blank stare seemed to be asking, "Did you do it too?"
"..." Onoki's face was gloomy, and he did not answer.
"A deal? Of course, it's a deal!" The Fourth Raikage said in a surprising way: "Now that I've said that, I won't hide it anymore. I've also made a deal with Phoenix Temple Chiba!"
"ah!!?"
This time, everyone was truly stunned, even Onoki.
They never expected that the Fourth Raikage, with his thick eyebrows and big eyes, would start spewing insults as if he were some innocent victim. In the end, he did it too!
"Is it hard to understand?" The Fourth Raikage coldly scanned the crowd: "A so-called transaction is simply exchanging what both parties need. Killer Bee has been captured, the Eight-Tails can be lost, but Killer Bee cannot die. Killer Bee and the Akatsuki's information—that's what I need!"
"So when Phoenix Temple Chiyu came to me, I didn't hesitate at all and immediately agreed to what she said!"
"What did Chiba get from you?" Tsunade asked, regaining her composure.
"Storm Release!" the Raikage replied briefly.
Then he looked at Onoki.
"Alright, Explosion Release, the most orthodox, so orthodox that even Iwagakure has no successor to the Fire and Lightning Explosion Release!"
Knowing what the Raikage wanted to ask, Onoki shrugged and spread his hands: "Sorry, she gave me a price I couldn't refuse."
"Hmph!" The Fourth Raikage snorted coldly at the bachelor Onoki, and ultimately said nothing more.
At this point, the shadow guards behind the shadows exchanged glances, their eyes wide with realization and their faces filled with shock.
It turns out everyone did it.
The enemy of this ninja world is indeed not outside, but among them, right here in front of you!
