  "Otogakure is now Konoha's public face. Politically, it's part of Konoha. Holding the Joint in Exam there is the same, in principle, as holding it in Konoha. We invite dignitaries from various tries to visit Konoha first, let them experience Konoha's strength, and then, when the exam starts, take them to Otogakure." Gojo Kaigetsu expined.

  No matter hoowerful ninja Konoha hid, if a war broke out within Konoha, it would iably cause rge-scale structural damage and the colpse of Konoha's credibility in the ninja world.

  If Konoha, the most powerful vilge, wasn't safe, how could those wealthy sponsors feel secure enough to spend their money?

  By holding the exam in Otogakure, Konoha would have a buffer, avoiding the risk of being caught in a pitack.

  "This arra doesn't rule out the possibility of the eaking advantage of the gap when Konoha's elite are on guard, sending ninja into Konoha for a decapitation strike. Minato, you will preside over the in Exam in Otogakure. As for me… I'll stay in Konoha."

  "Uood! Then, the safety of Kushina will be entrusted to you, Kaigetsu-kun."

  "Don't worry—Minato, you leave a Flying Thunder God mark. I'll find a way to get that secretary of the Raikage's and arrange for her to be by your side."

  The Heart-to-Heart unication Teique was a very useful teique in the current era when unication funs were not developed. It was equivalent to quantum enta. When one side reacted, the other side would also react.

  "Of course, these are the worst-case sarios. The four major vilges may not dare to risk the wrath of the ninja world by ung an atta Konoha while hosting a peaceful event, in front of the dignitaries of their own tries."

  "We o send a notice to the ninja world:"

  "We will his session of the 'Shinobi World Joint in Exam' the Fire Games!"

  "The Fire Games are a peaceful celebratiowice a year uhe guidance of the Will of Fire! The Fire Games take the 'Will of Fire' as the main activity tent, promote the prehensive development of the physiology, psychology and ninja world morality of the ninja world, unicate mutual uanding among the people of various tries, popurize Konoha's Will of Fire throughout the ninja world, and maintain the social movement of world pea the ninja world. The Fire Games are anized uhe auspices of the Fire Games anizing ittee!"

  "The spirit of fire should have a newly revised otation: Every ninja should have the possibility to participate in the ninja world exams, without any form of discrimination, and embody the Will of Fire spirit of mutual uanding, friendship, unity and fair petition!!"

  "First, arrange for petitions of sports events for ordinary people. After that, it will be the petitioween ninja from various tries!"

  "The annou of the Fire Games o be delivered to every er of the ninja world! The Land of Earth, the Land of Lightning, the Land of Wind, the Land of Water, the Land of Flowers..."

  "As long as they are Genin reized by their vilge, they wear the headband of their vilge and e to Otogakure to participate in this peaceful celebration of the ninja world!"

  In a few words, Gojo Kaigetsu painted a beautiful picture for Minato.

  "The Fire Games anizing ittee?"

  "Sunagakure and Kirigakure will definitely e, but what about Kumogakure and Iwagakure?"

  "This is the st insurance. We want to tie the dignitaries of the Freat Nations to Konoha's chariot, so that their vilges dare not act rashly."

  "It's better to have everyone participate together. Of course, the Fire Games will ultimately be ducted under Konoha's leadership."

  "As for Kumogakure and Iwagakure… their Daimyos will be dragged into this. If they don't e, aren't they being disrespectful?"

  Then, Gojo Kaigetsu expihe key operating points of the Fire Games to Minato.

  Such as: attrag sponsorships, selling merdise, mascots, the sacred fme, Fire Games limited-edition headbands, oaths for each of the great nations, the future Fire Games application process…

  After this process, not to mention outsiders, even Minato, who was always by Gojo Kaigetsu's side, was a little fused.

  These advanced cepts were a bit too avant-garde for a native ninja born in the ninja world.

  Although he didn't quite uand it, Minato grasped the key point: "You mean, the Joint in Exam… The Fire Games, will be very profitable iure?"

  Minato uzzled. It was just a Joint in Exam. How could this thing make money?

  "Very profitable. Iure, wheer a period of peace, this will be one of Konoha's most profitable projects."

  "Okay, let's not talk about this for now. Minato, you are responsible fetting the notice delivered, and Otogakure also o be arranged in advance."

  "What about you?"

  "I returned in a hurry, and there are some things I haven't had time to tell you. The [Akatsuk ninja who seriously injured Guy and Shisui has beeed. I'm going to take the body to Orochimaru now. No matter what, I'll revive him first."

  "And then I have to ge Tsunade's eyes. The lottery and stocks should also be arranged."

  ing and going in a hurry, soon, Gojo Kaigetsu's figure disappeared from Minato's sight.

  ....

  ....

  ....

  Amegakure, Akatsuki Hideout.

  Thud!

  Sasori maniputed his puppets, using the tail stinger on his back to throw Bunpuku to the ground. Even though he was seriously injured and paralyzed by Sasori's poison, Bunpuku still maintaihe posture of hands csped together.

  Truly a man who was said by Shukaku to have the demeanor of the Six Paths.

  Too bad his st name wasn't "ero." If he could use the 100-Type Guanyin Bodhisattva, the Akatsuki would be instantly annihited.

  "The mission is plete. I have brought back the Oailed Jinchuriki."

  "Well done, Sasori!"

  Bck Zetsu gnced around. "Where are Shinnō and Konan?"

  Sasori shrugged. "Their side… probably failed. I didn't pay attention. But Konan seemed to be in a bad state. She should have returo the base in the Land of Fire by now."

  "That's impossible!" Bck Zetsu's tone was exaggerated. "But I observed it. The stro of the Konoha mission this time was only two in, and there was no aura of the Mangekyō Sharingan. Shinnō and the vice-leader joined forces. How could they fail to kill Gojo Kaigetsu?"

  "Even if he's hiding his strength, at most he's a special Jonin. And I personally firmed that his guards were also only in, probably to avoid arousing Sunagakure's tension. With the vice-leader and Shinnō, they still failed, and Shinnō even died in Rōran."

  "That's not something I answer." Sasori said coldly, "Are there any more missions for the anization? If not, I'm going to upgrade my puppets."

  "…No do your work."

  Bck Zetsu had a sullen face, uo see aional fluctuations. He carried Bunpuku's deg body and walked towards the deepest part of the base.

  'Damn it… failed again.'

  Shinnō's death was fine, but Bck Zetsu hadn't had time to excavate the treasures of the Sky Ninja Vilge! He just died like that?!

  Also, after such a big i, Konan actually didn't think about returning to the base first to report, but instead went directly back to Yūkaku-jō in the Land of Fire?

  Bck Zetsu had a faint guess in his heart, and the ers of his mouth couldn't help but rise. "Hehe, has she already betrayed? If I poke this to Nagato, a him know, it will definitely be very iing…"

  ....

  He arrived at the deepest part of the base. Uedly, Pain's Deva Path was already waiting.

  Bck Zetsu put down Bunpuku's body and reted what had happened.

  "Trash!" Pain's Deva Path scolded mercilessly.

  'With each mission, a member died. At this rate, it would soon be his turn to fight Gojo Kaigetsu.'

  Pain's Deva Path immediately formed a seal: "Sealing Teique: Phantons Nine ing Seals!"

  The deepest part of the underground space, a terrifying throbbing, a powerful chakra burst out, as if there was a dragon head ing out of the darkness, and it took a bite out of Bunpuku, who was lying on the ground, unscious.

  Then, the Shukaku, shaped like a fat tanuki, was slowly pulled out of Bunpuku's body.

  Shukaku's eyes were full of fear, but no matter how it struggled, it couldn't shake the power of the Gedo Mazo in the slightest. Even though Shukaku was sidered a monster in the eyes of average ninjas, in the eyes of the Gedo Mazo, Shukaku was as fragile as a newborn baby.

  In the blink of an eye, Shukaku was dragged into the deepest part of the underground space by the dragon head, and there was no trace of Shukaku's aura in the air.

  At the same time, one of the nine closed eyes of the Gedo Mazo slowly opened.

  Whether it erson with trypophobia or a person with a phobia of giant objects, seeing this strange se, they would probably faint on the spot.

  Bunpuku, who had been drained of Shukaku, fell to the ground with a thud, pletely losing his breath. Even ih, he was still csped in prayer.

  After doing all this, Pain's Deva Path turned his head and asked coldly, "Did the vice-leader not return to report the situation?"

  "No, leader. After the operation failed, she went straight back to the Yūkaku-jō base." Bck Zetsu added fuel to the fire with a yin-yang tone:

  "Leader, don't you think this is strange? With the birength of the vice-leader and Shinnō, even if a Kage came, they would probably be killed, right? How could Gojo Kaigetsu be so difficult to kill?"

  "That's not something I expin..."
