Chapter 583: Prepare for War
Faced with the sudden question, Kaito was slightly stunned, but he quickly grasped Elder Genji's meaning.
Now that the commander of the Maintenance Force is about to change, Hoshigaki Kisame has already killed a member of the Zero Organization, Hiruko.
Although it is not a great achievement, it is at least acceptable in terms of face.
If he takes the initiative to capture Kakuzu and Mōryō, if he fails, it will be like smearing his credit book at the end of his term.
Kaito still understands the "peak end effect".
Even if Hoshigaki Kisame's action is very successful now, and Kakuzu and Mōryō are successfully solved together, the other four great ninja villages will not allow the Kirigakure Village to continue to be re-elected in this position for the sake of interests.
On the contrary, if the three official members of the Zero Organization die one after another, it is very likely to stimulate Uchiha Obito and Black Zetsu behind the scenes, breaking the current peace.
In the past two years, under the leadership of Kaito, the Kirigakure Village has been on the fast track in all aspects.
The expansion of secret forces, the improvement of reputation in the ninja world, the gradual monopoly of business, the training of a new generation of talents, and so on.
It can be said that everything is changing with each passing day.
Even if the convenience brought by the control of the Maintenance Force will be lost in the future, the actions of infiltrating and eroding the small country daimyo can still continue.
As long as this continues, the gap between the Kirigakure Village and other forces in the ninja world will become larger and larger.
It seems that there is really no need to take the initiative to detonate the "explosive barrel" of the Zero Organization?
Thoughts surged in his mind, and the impacts of various aspects flashed through Kaito's brain one by one.
However, when Kaito raised his head again, he looked at the elder Genji with a firm gaze.
"Chase!"
Originally, seeing Kaito begin to think, the elder Genji guessed that the Mizukage should have understood his intention, but who knew that he responded with such a word.
However, before the elder Genji opened his mouth to explain again, Kaito's response was resounding.
"Even if it may trigger the Fourth Great Ninja War in advance, we must chase them!"
Listening to Kaito's sonorous voice, the elder Genji felt that his vision became a little blurred for a moment.
After a moment of trance, his vision became clear again.
Looking at the resolute face of the young man in front of him, a trace of relief flashed in the eyes of the elder Genji.
"Okay! Then let's confirm the subsequent preparations next."
Kaito chose to take the risk of stimulating the Zero Organization and continue to let Hoshigaki Kisame chase the "Immortal Duo". Naturally, it was not an impulsive decision.
Kirigakure current military strength and capabilities were undeniable.
Even in the challenging area of administrative management, Kirigakure has arranged a lot of talents in the past two years, both openly and secretly, to go to various core positions in the Land of Water for training.
Internally, the secretarial group directly under the Mizukage Office, the government affairs team in charge of the Sea Mist City, the management committee of the Sea Mist Merchants, and the leadership of each newly established factory.
It seems that the management teams in all aspects are a bit "bloated", but in fact they are all preparing for the future plans.
In addition, relying on the convenience brought by the prosperous trade of the Sea Mist City, coercion, inducement, seduction, and assassination, the current Land of Water can be said to be managed by Kaito.
Even if he announces the start of the Fourth Great Ninja War, Kaito is confident that he can unify all the voices in the Land of Water.
There is no need to be timid because of the worry about Uchiha Obito's rampage.
Moreover, the current situation.
Even if Hoshigaki Kisame stopped in time and the Maintenance Force did not take the initiative to provoke Uchiha Obito.
With Namikaze Minato's hatred for the Zero Organization, Konoha would definitely not give up the investigation.
When Konoha really makes a result and successfully kills Kakuzu or other official members of the Zero Organization, the stimulation that Uchiha Obito and Black Zetsu should receive will not be reduced.
Instead, it is better to hold this achievement and the switch that may ignite the war in the hands of Kirigakure itself.
"Then notify Hoshigaki Kisame and let him take action as soon as possible? But against two official members of the Zero Organization, wouldn't it be a bit unsafe to rely on Hoshigaki Kisame and Hozuki Shingetsu alone?"
Unlike the previous ambush attack on Hiruko with sufficient intelligence in advance, it is difficult to gain such a big advantage this time.
It is even more difficult to restrict the enemy from escaping by relying on the seal barrier arranged in advance as before.
Besides, Namikage Minato, the Hokage, failed first. Ao thought about it and reminded him slightly.
Kaito nodded when he heard this.
If it was a head-on fight, Kaito believed that even if Hoshigaki Kisame was fighting one against two, he would not lose to the immortal duo.
But obviously, Kakuzu and Mōryō were not the kind of people who would fight to the death.
But if he takes into account the containment and even the quick kill.
At present, there are not many suitable people from the Kirigakure Village in the Maintenance Force.
Because Hozuki Shingetsu is relatively young and has decent talent, and Kaito, a water style master, intends to train him, he has now barely reached the bottom of the Kage level.
As for the rest, including the "blunt blade" wielder Isaburo and Kono who was transferred from the Flying Unit, they have basically reached the limit of their talents.
Even if they are allowed to learn S-rank ninjutsu, it is difficult to improve their actual strength.
If there is such a team chasing the immortal duo, it is hard to guarantee that they will not successfully escape due to some accidents.
After thinking for a while, Kaito continued.
"Let Kisame bring Nagato and the Amegakure troops with him for this operation."
It would definitely be inappropriate to temporarily put Terumi Mei or Zabuza into the Maintenance Force.
Although Uchiha Fugaku was nominally under the command of Hoshigaki Kisame in the Maintenance Force, Kaito didn't want Konoha to get involved in this matter.
So the only one who was strong enough to protect himself and could be reasonably mobilized was Nagato disguised as "Pain".
"Didn't the Sunagakure Village suggest that the Amegakure Village didn't play any practical role in the Maintenance Force a while ago, and suggested kicking them out of the combat force?"
"It just so happens that this operation will allow the ninjas of Amegakure to participate, and give some credit to Yahiko and the others."
The elder Genji and Ao looked at each other after hearing this, and both nodded in agreement with Kaito's plan.
Finally, when all the discussions came to an end.
Kaito looked at the two of them with a deep gaze and said in a deep voice.
"Since we have chosen to actively detonate the bomb of the Zero Organization, we must not fall behind in responding."
"It's time to bring our secret preparations to the surface!"
