The Cloud Ninjas were now facing a horrific mess. It could be said that the entire village was in a precarious situation.

The first issue they need to consider is not even whether to take revenge on Akatsuki, because they simply do not have the strength to do so.

On the contrary, having lost the Tailed Beast Jinchuriki, they are no longer the priority target of Akatsuki organization and can temporarily remain invisible for a while in the next situation.

What they need to consider now is how to maintain relations with Konoha, the question of whether to fight or make peace.

At this time, they didn't know that Konoha had secretly taken back the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, and they thought that the other party was the same as themselves.

However, in their view, since the target of Akatsuki is the Tailed Beast Jinchuriki, then Konoha and Kumogakure, who have both lost the Tailed Beast Jinchuriki, are undoubtedly not the focus of attention.

They could even continue the previous war, as the other side would shift their focus to the Sand Village and the Iwagakure Village anyway.

In the previous war, not only did the two sides forge a blood feud, but Konoha's elite ninjas also suffered heavy casualties, and even the Hokage and Jiraiya were suspected to be seriously injured or dead.

In the eyes of some hardliners in the Hidden Cloud Village, now is the best time to use military force against Konoha.

All that was lost in the previous war can be made up in Konoha.

It's not their fault. The sunk cost of this war is too high.

These hardliners have a large following in the Hidden Cloud Village, and are even gradually becoming the mainstream.

If I can’t deal with the mysterious man in Akatsuki, can I still deal with you, Konoha?

Many ninjas thought so.

Some more far-sighted people are worried about this trend of thought within the Hidden Cloud Village.

Some of them only hope to seek Uchiha Jin who can protect himself, while others are Darui who has just become the fifth Hokage.

In his opinion, the current Cloud Village could not withstand any more losses, and should even take the initiative to send a signal of reconciliation to Konoha and transform the temporary ceasefire agreement into a real armistice agreement - referring to the Fourth Ninja World War.

He also contacted all the major ninja villages to jointly hold the Five Kage Summit against the Akatsuki organization.

But he dared not.

He knew that his strength and fame were not enough to convince others. If he dared to make this news known in this decision, then it was very likely that his tenure as the fifth Raikage would be over.

Just when the situation on the mainland was in chaos and confusion, another important news came: the delegation sent by the Sand Village to Konoha to test the situation was robbed and killed by a mysterious ninja on the way.

There were about forty people in the entire delegation, and only a few escaped alive.

There was only one attacker, who was suspected to be a puppeteer who could control a large number of puppets and called himself the Scorpion of the Red Sand.

As soon as this news came out, the entire ninja world was in an uproar again.

Not to mention that according to reports from the ninjas who escaped back, this Scorpion of the Red Sand was suspected to have joined the Akatsuki organization.

What's funny is that although Konoha claimed that they killed the leader of Akatsuki, until now, until Konoha announced the information about Akatsuki to the entire ninja world, people still don't know who the leader of Akatsuki is.

After all, Yang No has been using the power of Wood Release, combined with the Rinnegan and Uchiha Shisui's Susanoo, this combination of punches can indeed confuse most ninjas.

And what the mysterious man who always said "I am Uchiha Madara" said was too shocking.

As we all know, Uchiha Madara was killed by Senju Hashirama in the Valley of the End. Now he claims to be Uchiha Madara. Is he the ghost of Uchiha Madara? Or did he successfully win the resurrection match?

There are rumors that the former leader of the Akatsuki organization in the Rain Country, a young man named Yahiko who was rumored to be dead in the past, has also made high-profile appearances repeatedly and seems to have claimed that he is the leader of the Akatsuki organization.

It seems that Uchiha Madara is not the only one who won the resurrection match!

All these uncertain factors have become the reason why the Iwagakure Village and the Sand Village have been reluctant to take action against the Akatsuki organization.

After all, Akatsuki's behavior was really weird.

However, with the Sand Village's delegation being openly attacked, and the attacker's extremely sensitive identity, the Fourth Kazekage Rasa could finally no longer sit still.

Faced with the fierce reaction from the village, as the Kazekage, he had to give a reasonable explanation and make a gesture.

After all, Akatsuki's actions this time were a bit embarrassing.

So, after Konoha and the Hidden Cloud Village joined forces to attack the Rain Country but were defeated, the Sand Ninjas who fled back to the Wind Country like rabbits began to take frequent actions, trying to infiltrate the Rain Country again and find out the mastermind behind the attack and whether he had any connection with Yahiko who claimed to have been resurrected.

After all, whether it is him or Uchiha Madara, the only thing they have in common, besides resurrection, is that they both claim to be the leaders of the Akatsuki organization.

However, something unexpected happened next. Those ninjas who lost contact shortly after infiltrating into the Country of Yoji actually responded.

Just when everyone thought they were doomed, they miraculously returned to the Sand Village and told the Fourth Kazekage Rasa a message that was said to be from the leader of the Akatsuki organization himself.

According to the leader of Akatsuki himself, although they have repeatedly violated the neutrality of the Rain Country, he is still willing to let these people go and tell them that the current Akatsuki has cut ties with the past Akatsuki.

Now, not only do they have no intention of capturing the tailed beasts of each village, on the contrary, if each village can respect the Rain Country, the current Akatsuki organization is also willing to maintain peace with the major ninja villages.

The previous attack on the Sand Village was not done by the Akatsuki organization of the Rain Country, but by another group of exiled ninjas who claimed to be from the Akatsuki organization. Their purpose was still to collect the tailed beasts.

This news surprised the top leaders of the Sand Village. Both advisors Ebizo and Chiyo believed that there was a conspiracy. After all, an extremist organization that committed heinous crimes one second ago said that they were moderates the next second. Who would believe this!

Their two shrewd advisors obviously didn't believe it, but the Fourth Kazekage Rasa had a different opinion.

The current One-Tail Shukaku Jinchuriki is his third son Gaara, who is just a tool to test his tolerance.

The Fourth Kazekage Rasa didn't think highly of him, but he was his own flesh and blood after all, while Sasori was Chiyo's grandson. It can be said that the two had different focuses from the beginning.

Chiyo and Ebizo demanded that pressure continue to be put on the Rain Country to force them to reveal information related to the Red Sand Scorpion.

The Fourth Kazekage Rasa was more interested in the traitor ninja who stole the name of Akatsuki as mentioned by Akatsuki leader Yahiko.

Unfortunately, in this regard, the information that Akatsuki and the Rain Country could tell him was very limited, and they didn't even know the other party's true identity.
