"Rest assured, Kikyo, no power will control me."
The ferocious power of the primordial beast produced a strange reaction with Fukurim, but the intense light released from Shiraishi's body forcefully suppressed the malevolent aura inside Fukurim.
Seeing Shiraishi doing this with great effort, Kikyo retracted her longbow and remained silent for a moment: "You are playing with fire."
"A capable person controls the devil, while an incapable person is enslaved by the devil. This is merely a game of chess."
Shiraishi, having successfully obtained the new weapon Fukurim, naturally understood Necrozma's intentions. Its goal was the power of those few cards in the new world, and Shiraishi could hear an intense greed in its words.
At this moment, Shiraishi took out a special Scarlet Imperial Mirror made of dark crystals. He channeled all of the silver light transformed from the Tenseigan directly into the Hiui Mirror.
The Scarlet Mirror created by the Second Kazekage in the past was very similar to the Mirror Reversal Technique of the Moon's Otsutsuki clan.
Since the main body of the primordial beast could not emerge from the sealing barrier, it had to combine a part of its own body with the Hiui Mirror, turning it into this dark mirror.
Under the combination of the Tenseigan and the dark Scarlet Mirror, a brilliant light erupted instantly. Along with the previous puppet army, they merged into the Hiui Mirror through a special sealing method, ultimately turning into a dark mirror shield.
Although the ScarletMirror possessed powerful means of puppet control, to Shiraishi, it was more of a tool for defense and harnessing chakra modes. Furthermore, this mirror shield was forged from the body of the primordial beast and contained its will.
Using this mirror shield as a medium allowed the primordial beast inside the barrier to absorb more light source energy, accelerating the recovery process of its own power.
However, a strange smile inadvertently appeared at the corner of Shiraishi's mouth at this time. Clearly, he had other calculations.
"Kikyo, let's go back."
The palace left behind by the Otsutsuki clan on the Moon was an intact logistics base. In fact, right after Shiraishi returned to Sunagakure, he began to build a more complete teleportation pathway to perfectly connect Sunagakure and the Moon together.
On a huge virtual projection, Shiraishi designed a special giant artillery device, while also configuring multiple mirror devices around it to reflect the artillery's light beam.
This super weapon on the Moon was prepared by Shiraishi for the upcoming Ninja World War. Once the war began, having this super artillery that could strike wherever it aimed would be of immense help for Sunagakure's firepower coverage.
Just as the Land of Demons completed the project to capture the Two-Tails, news came from the Navy Department that the Nineteenth Squad, led by Yamaji Magatake, had similarly completed the capture of the Three-Tails.
The newly resurrected Three-Tails currently had no Jinchuriki. Additionally, since this sea area was jointly managed by Kirigakure and Sunagakure, the operation to capture the Three-Tails went very smoothly.
Uchiha Kei's Sharingan was the best tool for dealing with Tailed Beasts. Combined with Minazuki Haku's Ice Release suppressing Water Release, as well as Uzumaki Karin's perception, the Nineteenth Squad very easily completed the Tailed Beast sealing work.
"The Jinchuriki of the Four-Tails and Five-Tails are currently inside Iwagakure and rarely move around outside."
Different from the original era, the Four-Tails Jinchuriki and Five-Tails Jinchuriki were currently arranged by Onoki to move in the same squad. While ensuring the safety of the two, they also served as a primary trump card for Iwagakure.
Compared to the Jinchuriki of other villages, Iwagakure's Roshi and Han possessed excellent age and experience. Although Roshi had always been on bad terms with Onoki in the past, at this moment of life and death for Iwagakure, he still remained in the village.
Luring out these two Jinchuriki was also a troublesome task. After careful consideration, Shiraishi decided to let Uchiha Kaede from the Land of Rain contact Onoki.
After the Hidden Rain Village was destroyed by a single strike from Shiraishi, the remaining ninjas who returned to the Land of Rain rebuilt a new Hidden Rain Village under the organization of Uchiha Kaede.
As the current leader of Akatsuki, Uchiha Kaede had been seeking cooperation with Konoha and Iwagakure.
Uchiha Kaede currently still maintains his identity as the leader of the Akatsuki organization, and has even recruited some wandering ninjas back. Among them, Hoshigaki Kisame had also returned to the new Hidden Rain Village a short while ago.
Hoshigaki Kisame was a pure ninja; Shiraishi knew this better than anyone. Therefore, after learning the news of his return, he and Uchiha Kaede generously accepted this new companion.
With the addition of Hoshigaki Kisame, the "Tailed Beast without a Tail", the strength of the Akatsuki organization was restored to a certain state. However, during the negotiations with the Land of Earth, Onoki's attitude remained very arrogant.
Iwagakure's attitude toward the Hidden Rain Village remained unchanged, but compared to the initial cooperative relationship, it had now become somewhat aggressive.
Sometimes, they even put forward demands such as taking control of several strategic locations across the Land of Rain.
Currently, the Hidden Rain Village and Sunagakure were sworn enemies, and Uchiha Kaede shared an irreconcilable blood feud with Konoha.
Therefore, the only entity they could rely on was Iwagakure. Onoki, fully aware of this point, was very brutal, wishing for nothing more than to annex the entire Land of Rain before stopping.
In fact, Konoha suspected Uchiha Kaede's true identity because of the intelligence provided by Jiraiya.
However, due to the lack of absolute evidence, combined with Danzo's opposition to sharing this scandalous intelligence with other villages, Onoki misjudged the situation due to the missing information.
After a month of contact, Onoki's patience was also worn away. The Hidden Rain Village consistently refused to agree to the conditions he set to cede half of the Land of Rain's territory.
At this time, information arrived from Danzo of Konoha, hoping that Iwagakure and the Root department would cooperate to launch a strike against the Akatsuki organization of the Hidden Rain Village.
It had to be said that the troublemaker of Konoha was indeed a troublemaker. His meddling accelerated Onoki's decision.
Although the Hidden Rain Village had just been destroyed once by Sunagakure and the ninjas within the entire Akatsuki organization were full of hostility toward Sunagakure, it could not be completely guaranteed that the Hidden Rain Village would definitely not defect to Sunagakure.
However, according to the attitude of his ally Konoha and the intelligence that Sunagakure was currently planning to further invade the Land of Rain, Onoki felt that the current Hidden Rain Village was meat on Iwagakure's chopping board.
At Iwagakure's high-level meeting, some members of the think tank expressed their views: "If we let Sunagakure invade and take control, it would be better for our Land of Earth and Iwagakure to act first."
Thinking of this, Onoki formed a plan. However, to take down the new Hidden Rain Village, they would have to deal with the Tailed Beast without a Tail, Hoshigaki Kisame, as well as Uchiha Kaede, who had awakened the Mangekyo Sharingan.
The combat power of the two Jinchuriki had to be calculated into the equation. As for Danzo's cooperation invitation from Konoha, Onoki rejected it directly.
After weighing the options repeatedly, Onoki decided to take action personally. Along with the two Jinchuriki and three combat brigades, they should be able to take down the almost crippled Akatsuki.
Ultimately, Onoki made his decision!
"Then prepare to act..."
Inside the Kazekage Office, Shiraishi watched Iwagakure's movements and Danzo's instigation: "Danzo of Konoha looks like a very lovely person now... I was just having a headache over how to make Onoki make up his mind."
