Chapter 372 The Whitebeard Pirates Are Back! Nagato's Compromise!

Konan wants to conduct a second ideological reform within Akatsuki!

This is an idea that came to Nagato's mind.

The first ideological reform of Akatsuki was not long after Yahiko was killed, and that reform was related to "Uchiha Madara".

Because some of the new ideas that Akatsuki had at that time were basically provided to Nagato and others by "Uchiha Madara".

So, this is the second ideological reform.

In fact, Nagato is not particularly resistant to this.

After all, he already knows that the actual identity of "Uchiha Madara" is "Uchiha Obito".

This makes him a little suspicious of some of the things proposed by Uchiha Obito.

It's just that he has no better ideas, so for more than a year, Akatsuki has been following the original path.

Nagato stared at Konan in front of him, and he couldn't help asking: "Konan, what do you want to do?"

Konan said calmly: "You should know some of the things that the Whitebeard Pirates have done in the Ninja World? They used their extremely powerful strength to make one ninja village after another succumb to their pirate group, making those ninja villages openly become vassals of the pirate group and completely obey their orders."

Nagato nodded, he was naturally very clear about the things that the Whitebeard Pirates did.

After all, it was such a big fuss at the time, how could he not know?

"What if... we follow the example of the Whitebeard Pirates?"

Konan expressed an idea: "For example, we use our powerful force to make the Sand Village bow down, and then we arrange a Sand Village Wind Shadow controlled by our Akatsuki organization."

"In this way, one ninja village after another will be brought under the command of Akatsuki, forming a huge world alliance. And our Akatsuki organization is the central hub and actual controller of this alliance."

Konan was also staring at Nagato: "In this way, without our nod, the ninja world will not start any war. If anyone wants to start a war, we will kill him as soon as possible."

Nagato opened his mouth and fell into thought.

The idea proposed by Konan is very simple and very rough.

But it must be said that it is indeed feasible.

However, Nagato feels that this idea is not very sustainable.

If the Akatsuki organization declines, won't no one be able to control other ninja villages?

Of course, there is another more important thing...even Nagato dare not guarantee that the Akatsuki organization can be an enemy of the whole world.

Compared with the huge ninja world, Akatsuki's power is not weak, but Akatsuki's size is too small.

Using the power of the entire Akatsuki organization to deal with one of the five major ninja villages is probably the current limit of Akatsuki.

The idea that Konan said requires Akatsuki to have the power to fight against all ninja villages on its own.

As if guessing Nagato's idea, Konan continued: "To achieve this goal, the power of Akatsuki alone is not enough. So, we need an ally. An ally who is never keen on war, has almost no ambition, and is not weaker than us."

Nagato was stunned for a moment, and he looked at Kimimaro and Bai. Nagato couldn't help but interrupt and asked: "Do you want me to ally with the Whitebeard Pirates?"

Konan nodded frankly: "Yes. Akatsuki and the Whitebeard Pirates, there is actually no need to oppose each other, right? After all, there is no conflict between the two."

Konan said: "The Whitebeard Pirates want a harmonious big family, and we want a peaceful world, which is quite consistent."

Konan's words and suggestions fell into Nagato's ears.

Nagato didn't know from which angle to refute.

And he realized that if Akatsuki could really form an alliance with the Whitebeard Pirates, then the tailed beasts that the Whitebeard Pirates had previously robbed...

could they be shared by the Akatsuki organization?

"But..." Nagato frowned and said, "Some of our members don't have a good relationship with the Whitebeard Pirates. The Whitebeard Pirates took over the Uchiha clan. Obviously, there is someone on our side of Akatsuki that they hate to the core."

He mentioned Uchiha Itachi.

Konan's eyes did not fluctuate, and she said something so calm that it was a little scary: "Sometimes, some unstable factors should be abandoned, so abandon them."

For this method, Konan has used it more than once.

Last time, she sold Uchiha Obito.

Because at that time, she believed that Obito had already posed a threat to the Akatsuki organization.

Now, if there is an Uchiha Itachi who blocks the alliance between the Akatsuki organization and the Whitebeard Pirates.

Then Konan will not hesitate to eliminate this unstable factor.

The Akatsuki that Yahiko left to her and Nagato was like a child that Konan had raised with her heart and soul in her eyes.

She would not allow anyone to hinder the development and progress of Akatsuki.

After listening to Konan's words, Nagato tapped the armrest of the wheelchair with his index finger.

His thoughts.

He was weighing.

He was judging.

Akatsuki was used to being alone, and it was really hard to get used to having an ally suddenly.

However, if Konan wanted to achieve the concept of "World Alliance", he would have to rely on the power of the Whitebeard Pirates.

There were two paths before Nagato.

The first path was to continue on the path that "Uchiha Obito" had arranged.

The second path was the concept suggested by Konan.

The former was an outsider, and an outsider who had deceived him.

The latter was his partner who he spent every day with.

He was the person he trusted the most.

He is the person he cares about the most.

He is the person he cares about the most.

"If we want to eliminate the internal troubles, we have to eliminate more than just Uchiha Itachi."

Nagato finally spoke: "There is also a person called Zetsu, and a person called Biwa Juzo. And there are several new members who have joined, and they must also be eliminated."

"..."

...

The Kingdom of Wind.

The Village of Sand.

A Sand Village ninja came to the roof of the tallest building in the village, stretched out his hand and pulled down a pirate flag of the Whitebeard Pirates.

He threw the pirate flag down and shouted to the group of ninjas gathered below: "The Village of Sand does not need the rule and protection of pirates! The last pirate flag has been removed by me. The Village of Sand is the Village of our Sand Village ninjas!"

The group of ninjas gathered below cheered together.

It can be seen that their general age is not too old, all of them are very young ninjas, basically a group of Sand Village Genin or Chunin.

It is a bit similar to the situation of the Village of Mist. In fact, they are a little more radical than the Village of Mist.

"Well done! We've had enough of the weakness of the village's top leaders. They sit in such high positions but do nothing, and even bow to the pirates. The pirates have been away for more than a year, but they dare not do anything to the pirate flag left by the pirates. They are simply too cowardly!"

"That's right! The Sand Village belongs to our Sand Village ninjas! Not the Whitebeard Pirates! The village's top leaders are weak, so let's elect a hard-line Kazekage together!"

"Only young people like us are the future of the Sand Village, and those top leaders are all remnants of the old times!"

"Drive away the Whitebeard Pirates!!!"

"..."

However, this group of excited young people did not know that in a dusty building not far away, a group of top leaders of the Sand Village were looking over there.

The so-called top leaders are actually the elite jonin, the patriarch of the ninja clan, and some department heads of the Sand Village.

A ninja clan leader sneered: "Tsk, do they think they can do this without our acquiescence?"

Yes, everything that happened in the Sand Village was acquiesced by these high-level officials.

No one wants to have a group of pirates standing on their heads and pissing on them.

But they dare not confront the Whitebeard Pirates openly, even though the Whitebeard Pirates have been missing for more than a year.

Coincidentally, these young ninjas who think they have awakened their blood stood up.

So, the high-level officials of the Sand Village began to go with the flow and acquiesce to them.

They even added fuel to the fire and arranged a lot of people in the crowd.

In this way, they can get rid of the control of the Whitebeard Pirates and have nothing to do with them.

Why not?

...

At the same time.

On the other side of the Sand Village.

Gaara, Kankuro, and Temari stood in front of the gate of the Sand Village, and there were two people next to them, Jozu and Izo.

"Is this the Sand Village? There is such a place in the vast desert. It's really amazing!" Izo sighed as he looked at this "desert city".

"Strange..." Temari was a little aware that something was wrong: "Why is the gatekeeper ninja not here?"

Logically, there must be several gatekeeper ninjas at the gate of the ninja village to prevent any villains from breaking into the village.

But now she can't see a single gatekeeper ninja.

"Ahahaha, won't you know if you go in and take a look?"

Joz walked forward carelessly, not afraid of any traps ahead. He looked at the Sand Village gate in front of him and pushed it with one hand.

The heavy door was actually pushed open by him with one hand!

When everyone walked into the Sand Village, they heard a loud noise in the distance.

"Temari, have you noticed..." Kankuro swallowed his saliva secretly, and he hurriedly reminded: "The pirate flags hanging in the village seem to have disappeared..."

Temari suddenly realized, and she said why she felt weird!

Yes!

Where is the pirate flag?

Ever since the Whitebeard Pirates visited the Sand Village, the entire Sand Village has been full of the Whitebeard Pirates' flags.

But what about now?

Where is the pirate flag?

Where is it?

"Oh no!" Temari's face changed: "Could it be..."

She suddenly thought that there might be some people in the village who were dissatisfied with the Whitebeard Pirates.

In addition, the Whitebeard Pirates have been missing in the ninja world for more than a year.

Hiss!

Maybe...

Temari hurriedly said: "Let's go to the noisy place over there and take a look!"

Not long after, Gaara and his group came to the place where the crowd gathered.

The arrival of these people made the shouting and cheering crowd suddenly quiet.

Mainly because Jozu's height of more than five meters, coupled with that ferocious face, was too conspicuous in this place.

Moreover, many people saw Gaara.

The sudden quiet atmosphere made Temari pale.

Because she saw a group of ninjas tearing a piece of black cloth.

If she was not mistaken, that piece of black cloth seemed to be the pirate flag of the Whitebeard Pirates, right?

Damn it!

Her worst fears came true!

"Then, that guy is..." A teenage Sand Village Genin looked at Gaara in disbelief: "He is the monster who betrayed the Sand Village and joined the Whitebeard Pirates!"

"It's a Jinchuuriki!" A ninja's eyes widened in disbelief: "He, after killing his father, didn't he leave with the Whitebeard Pirates? Why is he back!?"

"The other two brats seem to be the son and daughter of the Fourth Kazekage Rasa!"

"Who are the other two people? Why is that guy so tall? He's almost like Whitebeard!"

"Look! The tattoo on that big man's body, is it the tattoo of the Whitebeard Pirates?"

"Huh? Are they the Whitebeard Pirates?"

"How can it be!"

A group of Sunagakure ninjas were in an uproar.

How could the Whitebeard Pirates, who had been missing for more than a year, suddenly appear?

How could Gaara, who had been missing for more than a year, return to Sunagakure Village out of nowhere?

Izo raised his eyebrows, listening to the discussion of this group of ninjas and feeling their emotions, he said: "The people here don't seem to welcome our Whitebeard Pirates!"

Jozi stared at the torn Whitebeard Pirates' pirate flag.

His rough face was expressionless, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

But it was obvious that the smile on his face had faded.

Veins were already forming on the backs of Gaara's little hands.

The veins on his forehead were also trembling slightly.

He could accept someone calling him a "monster". After all, his ignorance had indeed brought a lot of trouble to the village.

but!

He will never allow anyone to tear down the pirate flag of the Whitebeard Pirates!

No one will be allowed to slander the Whitebeard Pirates!

He doesn't allow anyone to slander his father!

Evil aura and murderous intent began to appear in Gaara's eyes. The tailed beast chakra visible to the naked eye had climbed onto the surface of his skin, and the tiny gravels on the ground began to slowly float.

Gaara was surprisingly angry.

…

Meanwhile, on the other side.

The senior executives of Sunagakure, who had been observing the movements here, also saw Jozi, who was unusually tall.

"Who is that person?" A senior elder from the Hidden Sand Village frowned: "And why is it suddenly quiet over there?"

Next to him, an ANBU jounin was holding a telescope, and his expression changed slightly under his mask.

Then, in a solemn tone, he said to the group of people behind him: "My lords, there is bad news...Gaara, Temari, and Kankuro, the three of them...are back."

The ANBU jounin said without surprising: "Moreover, they seem to have brought two members of the Whitebeard Pirates! The Whitebeard Pirates, who have been missing for more than a year, have appeared in our Sunagakure Village!"

One word fell. The whole hall was silent.

This silent atmosphere lasted for several seconds.

"What!??"

Finally, the leader of a ninja clan in Sand Hidden Village suddenly stood up in disbelief: "The Whitebeard Pirates appeared? How is it possible? How...how could it be at this time, how could it be such a coincidence?!"

Granny Chiyo, who was sitting on a chair with her eyes closed to relax, opened her turbid eyes: "Whitebeard Pirates? Are you sure..."

The Anbu Jonin nodded and said: "I'm not sure, but...that big man has a very obvious tattoo symbol of the Whitebeard Pirates."

Granny Chiyo kept rubbing her fingers on the armrests of the chair.

Although there was no fluctuation on her wrinkled face.

But it can be seen from her subtle body movements...

There was a storm in her heart.

…
