Chapter 340: The Unexpected Defection
Without much hesitation, Orochimaru agreed to join Akatsuki. Since he had nowhere to go now, he might as well settle down and take a look. If he couldn't, he would slip away. He wouldn't suffer any losses either.
Haru had already expected that Orochimaru would agree, so he didn't feel happy at all. On the contrary, he felt a bit disgusted.
After all, research was a gold mine. If he wanted to achieve results, he would have to throw money into it in the future.
At that time, Kakuzu might even start crying and making a fuss again.
However, in order to develop a good country, the scientific research department was also essential.
Now that Tsunade was in charge of developing medical industries, Orochimaru was in charge of research achievements, walking on two legs, Akatsuki would definitely not fall.
Of course, personal strength was the most important thing. Haru definitely would not ignore this. He still had Sakumo, Guren, and other heavyweight fighters. He guaranteed that he could beat all the children to tears!
It was not that he did not know, but he was shocked!
It turned out that after his development, Akatsuki's strength had already expanded to such an extent!
Moreover, the development of all sides was very good, and there was no deformity at all.
Even Akatsuki's future was worth looking forward to. Don't forget that Kushina, Nagato, and the others were still under the protection and guidance of Haru, and their strength increased by leaps and bounds every day!
When they grew up, they could completely support half of Akatsuki's sky.
Haru couldn't help but feel a little happy, and then Orochimaru took the initiative to hand over the blood tribute.
"I think there is a piece of information that you will be very interested in." After they were all on the same side, Orochimaru didn't seem to be angry anymore, and directly smiling and selling the shuttle said.
"Tell me! If it is valuable, let someone build an experimental base for you right now. Otherwise, you can go and carry bricks for a month first."
Orochimaru was immediately deflated and almost blurted out, "How can you be like this!"
However, he had no choice but to lower his head under the eaves, so he hurriedly said, "Kumogakure's A brought the remaining Kumogakure Ninjas to Konoha. Sarutob Hiruzen, that old fellow, personally met him and settled him in a remote area of Konoha. It should be to deal with you."
We changed it well, and the smell of flattery came out directly.
Haru was indeed a little surprised when he heard this, but when he thought about it carefully, he found that it was reasonable.
After Kumogakure was destroyed and the Land of Lightning was occupied by Akatsuki Country, if A wanted to revive the village and take revenge, he and the remaining Kumogakure Ninjas had no chance at all.
So they could only choose to use the power of others to achieve this goal.
Then the problem was, there were only a few forces that could help them defeat Akatsuki and revive Kumogakure.
The Land of Water was too far away, and they had to go out to sea.
The Land of Earth was quite close and had the strength, but the problem was that Kumogakure's people didn't trust Iwagakure at all. Don't forget that they had been in trouble before, and the Land of Earth was the first to jump out and hit them!
So, if they went to ask Onoki for help, wouldn't it just be like a sheep entering the tiger's mouth
Moreover, after Iwagakure was taught a lesson by Akatsuki, the rumor that they were forced to withdraw their troops had always been very popular.
Even if A did not use his brain, it was impossible to find Iwagakure to help.
And there was no need to mention Land of Wind. Sunagakure was Akatsuki's first defeated opponent. It had not been good for Akatsuki for such a long time!
In addition, the internal poverty was very bad. Third Kazekage seemed to be a loyal person. No matter how he looked at it, he did not seem to be a reliable ally.
In the end, after thinking about it, it was definitely the Land of Fire's Konoha who was most suitable to be this sucker.
First of all, Konoha and Akatsuki had a grudge, and they were mortal enemies!
There was no doubt about this.
As long as Senju Haru controlled Akatsuki for a day, as long as Sarutob Hiruzen was still Hokage, this knot could not be untied.
Therefore, in terms of motivation, Konoha was the one who was most likely to help A.
Secondly, Konoha had strength and a deep foundation.
If one were to say who was most likely to defeat Akatsuki among the remaining four great powers, was there a need to ask?
Naturally, it was Konoha!
Finally, it was about the personality problem of Third Hokage, and Sarutob Hiruzen.
Assuming that the final revenge was successful, Akatsuki was destroyed and the Land of Lightning was liberated, Konoha was the most likely to fulfill the promise to help A and the others rebuild Kumogakure's forces.
Because this Hokage was now called Sarutob Hiruzen!
This kind of operation without horses could only be placed on this 'strongest' Hokage.
For example, other people like Onoki, not to mention returning the Land of Lightning, not using them as cannon fodder, even if they were to stab them in the back, they would be eating too little braindead!
Therefore, although it seemed like A and the others had many choices, in reality, they could only join hands with Konoha.
The arrival of A and the others could also be considered to be very easy to replenish the weakening of Konoha's strength.
With Haru's understanding of Sarutob Hiruzen, that old brat would definitely make some small tricks behind his back. Perhaps, he had already sent countless letters to the other major powers to form an alliance.
If not for the fact that Sunagakure had Black Zetsu who was causing trouble and giving Kazekage all kinds of intelligence downplay, and that Iwagakure was scared of Haru's previous move, he might really have been played by Konoha.
Haru sent away the somewhat excited and impatient Orochimaru, found Kagami, and briefly explained the situation to him.
Kagami also frowned at this result, but it was not beyond his expectations.
"Once we are besieged by three sides, I'm afraid we will lose sight of each other." Kagami came to a conclusion.
This time was different from the last time. Last time, they were waiting to watch the tiger fight and follow behind to take advantage of the situation. In the beginning, no one thought that Akatsuki could win, so they didn't take Akatsuki seriously.
When Raikage died, Kumogakure was robbed, and the Land of Lightning was defeated, it was too late to exert strength.
But even so, it still brought a lot of trouble to Akatsuki at that time.
If not for the fact that Haru had already set up a backup plan and forced back the three country of the Wind, Fire, and Earth, he would have swallowed the entire Land of Lightning without giving anyone else a chance to do so.
And this time, if the few great powers joined forces, they would definitely not make a small fuss.
They would definitely attack with all their strength and fight a battle where either you die or I die.
At that time, Haru was not sure what the outcome would be.
Therefore, at this time, the more they could not act rashly. It would be best if they could release this kind of signal to the outside world.
The Akatsuki County is only to replace the Land of Lightning to become one of the new five great countries. Now we are satisfied!
In this way, other than Sarutob Hiruzen and Kumogakure's remnants, no one should be willing to fight to the death with them.
After all, the five great countries were Fire, Lightning, Earth, Wind, and Water. It did not matter to the other great countries.
But the premise was that Akatsuki could not make trouble again!
