Deidara gesticulated excitedly.
In his hand, two white spider clay bombs had clearly appeared, as if he was ready to start blasting.
Ever since capturing the One-Tail back then,
He hadn't participated in any subsequent missions. Basically, he was idle in Amegakure every day with nothing to do.
He hadn't seen such a big spectacle in a long time, so of course he wanted to start showcasing his art.
Also,
He could take this opportunity,
To let that old man Tsuchikage properly see his true strength!
Thinking of this,
Deidara became even more excited.
However,
Hearing this,
Kakuzu beside him immediately frowned and said unhappily:
"Tch, shut up. Are you in such a hurry to go die?"
"Uchiha Madara is someone who was on par with the First Hokage, Senju Hashirama... Even that old man Tsuchikage can't handle him. Do you think you can?"
"!!"
As Kakuzu's words fell, Deidara instantly exploded, angrily retorting:
"Shut up!"
"That damn old man was already washed up!"
"As long as my ultimate art is completed, surpassing him is only a matter of minutes, you know!!"
The two, who were never on good terms, instantly started arguing here over whether to act.
It wasn't until Nagato spoke that they immediately calmed down.
Nagato's gaze hardened, and he said deeply:
"Quiet down."
"Now is not the time for you to bicker."
"The plan is not that simple... Listen to Kyo's arrangements."
As his words fell,
The two immediately felt deflated and stopped talking.
After all,
Nagato was the true form of Pain, possessing all the abilities of the Six Paths of Pain.
And Pain's strength naturally needed no introduction; they had witnessed it many times, and he was indeed formidable...
Therefore,
Even though Nagato's true form looked very thin, he still had the deterrent power of a leader.
And only then,
Kyo turned around at these words, his gaze sweeping over everyone's faces, and chuckled:
"Don't rush."
"If we act now... then our Akatsuki will become mere extras."
"Remember one thing,"
"Heroes only appear at the crucial moment."
As his words fell,
Kyo's eyes shone with a brilliant golden color.
Then,
He smiled and turned back, continuing to look ahead, saying no more.
In fact,
The time truly hadn't come yet.
Currently, for the Four Kage and the great villages, the situation was far from desperate.
Even if Akatsuki stepped in to help, they wouldn't appreciate the feeling of survival, and naturally wouldn't hold Akatsuki in awe or gratitude.
Kyo could indeed step in and resolve the Shinobi World's crisis before the Four Kage acted.
But if he did,
Akatsuki still wouldn't have any persuasive power to rule the Shinobi World.
It might even have the opposite effect,
After all,
Every village had its radicals, who might even start a war against Akatsuki's rule.
If that happened,
It would run counter to Kyo's original intention.
Therefore,
They had to be thoroughly beaten first, so that the plan could be carried out reasonably.
The deeper the night, the more grateful people are for the sunlight.
In other words,
Only when the villain's deterrent power reached its peak,
Would Akatsuki's appearance carry more weight.
To this end,
Kyo had even secretly laid down more measures.
And at this moment,
Hearing Kyo's words,
Nagato and Konan exchanged glances, both seeing a look of helpless amusement in each other's eyes.
They'd never thought...
Akatsuki, which had always flown the banner of a terrorist organization, was now being completely led astray by Kyo...
It had actually become an organization that wanted to be heroes...
And beside them,
After hearing this,
Deidara, Kakuzu, and the others stared at each other with wide eyes, dumbfounded.
Huh???
What's going on...
I thought Akatsuki back then wasn't like this...???
Weren't we supposed to deter the Shinobi World with terrorist attacks...
In the three-step plan,
Was there a step about saving the world...
However,
Although everyone was puzzled,
They naturally wouldn't question this plan.
After all,
They knew very well that this plan... was ultimately indeed to create a brand new Shinobi World.
At least on this point, it was consistent with Akatsuki's original intention.
It's just,
In this plan,
Akatsuki had simply changed from the villain to the hero.
