Inside a murky cave stood a figure with spiky orange hair, purple ripple-pattern eyes, multiple black metal sticks piercing into his body, and an annoyed scowl on his face.
This person was one of the six bodies Nagato controlled with his Rinnegan. The body of Yahiko, his deceased best friend, whose legacy of fighting for peace Nagato decided to honor by turning his corpse into a puppet he uses to cause mass destruction. Truly a great friend.
Today, another Akatsuki meeting was going to be held, but unlike how he usually met with the other members, everyone would be physically present during this gathering since he didn’t want anyone to spy on it this time.
Due to Zetsu’s ability to travel through the ground unhindered and his incredible capabilities as a sensor, it didn’t take long for every member to be informed about this meeting. However, it still annoyed Pain greatly how significantly Yuna and Naruto’s actions hemmed Akatsuki’s information flow.
A few minutes later, Kakuzo and Hidan entered the meeting place, and as soon as Nagato heard Kakuzo threatening Hidan to kill him, while Hidan wanted to sacrifice Kakuzo to Jashin, he could already feel a slight headache.
It was already hard enough to keep this band of misfits together when they didn’t meet in person, but now that everyone would be present, Nagato half expected today’s meeting to end in a massacre.
While the duo was bickering, Kisame entered the room, and as soon as Hidan saw him, he started mocking him for failing to capture the Hachibi, resulting in the argument escalating even further in Nagato’s headache.
‘*Sigh* Somehow, I imagined world peace to be easier to achieve…’
Shortly after Kisame, Obito entered the room, who appeared to have more or less lost it by name as he was wildly dancing around, flailing his arms and calling himself Tobi. Although Nagato knew about his weird split personality, he never perceived it to be this severe.
Finally, a considerable amount of paper started flooding into the room, as a woman with blue hair formed next to Nagato, quickly followed by a humanoid-looking black figure coming out of the ground.
Despite everyone being present, the bickering continued as Kisame and Hidan had drawn out their weapons and were ready to fight.
“SILENCE!”
Nagato’s voice echoed through the cave as he flared his chakra to get everyone’s attention. Although Kisame and Hidan were still glaring at each other, they at least kept their mouths shut, which was enough to satisfy Nagato.
As soon as their meeting place quieted down, Nagato nodded his head in satisfaction and opened his mouth.
“The time has finally come for us to enact the last step of our plan. Although we don’t have the full chakra of all the tailed beasts, a fragment of it is more than enough to start our plan, while their full chakra can be added in the aftermath. Now, only the Kyubi’s chakra is missing, which is why we have gathered here today.”
As soon as the Kyubi was mentioned, constipated expressions appeared on the faces of quite a few people in the room. Nagato could clearly read the unwillingness to confront Yuna on Kakuza’s face, while Obito stopped his clown antics immediately when he thought about getting revenge against Naruto for humiliating him.
Hidan immediately started telling everyone who didn’t want to hear it how he would sacrifice the twins to his god, while Zetsu’s gaze lingered on Nagato’s Rinnegan for a short moment, considering whether he should snatch his eyes, dive into the earth, and be gone from the surface for the next 100 years.
Seemingly unbothered by everyone’s tumultuous emotions, Nagato pushed the conversation forward.
“Tomorrow evening, we will be attacking Konoha as a whole. Every one of us will participate in the attack, and our goal will be to capture the Kyubi’s Junchuuriki, Naruto Uzumaki.”
Eerie silence covered the room that, was quickly replaced by a feeling of elation. One S-Rank shinobi could potentially take out a small shinobi village, and now they would be assaulting Konoha with seven at the same time.
No one in the room had the confidence to attack Konoha and capture Naruto in a two men team, maybe except for Nagato himself, but an all-out assault with the whole might of Akatsuki was a totally different matter. Most of the people in the room were confident that that would work out.
Nagato saw the confidence return to the faces of his fellow Akatsuki members and nodded in satisfaction.
“As all of you know, Yuna Uzumaki carries a part of the Kyubi as well, but she is of no concern for you. I will be her opponent while you go after Naruto Uzumaki and capture him.”
Now, even Kakuza wore a happy expression since he wouldn’t have to face Yuna and someone else would deal with her. Whether Nagato could defeat her or not, he had no idea, but what he knew was that as soon he noticed that Yuna had the upper hand against him, he would flee instantly.
Meanwhile, in the depth of the Uzumaki clan, a naked young woman with three other naked women clinging to her was playing around with a small ring, while a dangerous grin marred her face.
“Hehe, I see, tomorrow evening, huh? The development of the sealing array that allows me to teleport to other people wearing one of these rings directly is about 70% done, but I guess I won’t be needing that anymore.
“Finally, these cockroaches decided to come out of their tiny holes. This will be fun~”
The young woman, Yuna, lazily got up from bed and stretched her back while slowly putting on her clothes with a thoughtful expression on her face.
‘So much to do, and so little time. I guess I should inform Tsunade about this first while ensuring that the info we know about their attack doesn’t leak. We don’t want them to cancel their plans, after all.’
While Yuna was contemplating her next step, she noticed that Hinata, Anko, and Karin seemingly didn’t even notice that she got up from their bed and were happily continuing to sleep, making her chuckle in amusement.
“Get up, you three, a force capable of destroying a major village is about to attack Konoha.”
“Mhh~ Five more minutes, Yuna~”
“Hehe, come on Hinata, this will be fun~”
“Ahh~ Thank you for the reward, Yuna-sama~”
A helpless expression appeared on Yuna’s face when she got the sleepy answers from Hinata, Anko, and Karin. She thought about it for a short moment and did the only thing she could do in this kind of situation.
She undressed again and went back to bed.
She wasn’t in a hurry, after all..
