"Otogakure is now Konoha's public face. Politically, it's part of Konoha. Holding the Joint Chūnin Exam there is the same, in principle, as holding it in Konoha. We can invite dignitaries from various countries to visit Konoha first, let them experience Konoha's strength, and then, when the exam starts, take them to Otogakure." Gojo Kaigetsu explained.

No matter how many powerful ninja Konoha hid, if a war broke out within Konoha, it would inevitably cause large-scale structural damage and the collapse of Konoha's credibility in the ninja world.

If Konoha, the most powerful village, wasn't safe, how could those wealthy sponsors feel secure enough to spend their money?

By holding the exam in Otogakure, Konoha would have a buffer, avoiding the risk of being caught in a pincer attack.

"This arrangement doesn't rule out the possibility of the enemy taking advantage of the gap when Konoha's elite are on guard, sending ninja into Konoha for a decapitation strike. Minato, you will preside over the Chūnin Exam in Otogakure. As for me… I'll stay in Konoha."

"Understood! Then, the safety of Kushina will be entrusted to you, Kaigetsu-kun."

"Don't worry—Minato, you can leave a Flying Thunder God mark. I'll find a way to get that secretary of the Raikage's and arrange for her to be by your side."

The Heart-to-Heart Communication Technique was a very useful technique in the current era when communication functions were not developed. It was equivalent to quantum entanglement. When one side reacted, the other side would also react.

"Of course, these are the worst-case scenarios. The four major villages may not dare to risk the wrath of the ninja world by launching an attack on Konoha while hosting a peaceful event, in front of the dignitaries of their own countries."

"We need to send a notice to the ninja world:"

"We will name this session of the 'Shinobi World Joint Chūnin Exam' the Fire Games!"

"The Fire Games are a peaceful celebration held twice a year under the guidance of the Will of Fire! The Fire Games take the 'Will of Fire' as the main activity content, promote the comprehensive development of the physiology, psychology and ninja world morality of the ninja world, communicate mutual understanding among the people of various countries, popularize Konoha's Will of Fire throughout the ninja world, and maintain the social movement of world peace in the ninja world. The Fire Games are organized under the auspices of the Fire Games Organizing Committee!"

"The spirit of fire should have a newly revised connotation: Every ninja should have the possibility to participate in the ninja world exams, without any form of discrimination, and embody the Will of Fire spirit of mutual understanding, friendship, unity and fair competition!!"

"First, arrange for competitions of sports events for ordinary people. After that, it will be the competition between ninja from various countries!"

"The announcement of the Fire Games needs to be delivered to every corner of the ninja world! The Land of Earth, the Land of Lightning, the Land of Wind, the Land of Water, the Land of Flowers..."

"As long as they are Genin recognized by their village, they can wear the headband of their village and come to Otogakure to participate in this peaceful celebration of the ninja world!"

In a few words, Gojo Kaigetsu painted a beautiful picture for Minato.

"The Fire Games Organizing Committee?"

"Sunagakure and Kirigakure will definitely come, but what about Kumogakure and Iwagakure?"

"This is the last insurance. We want to tie the dignitaries of the Four Great Nations to Konoha's chariot, so that their villages dare not act rashly."

"It's better to have everyone participate together. Of course, the Fire Games will ultimately be conducted under Konoha's leadership."

"As for Kumogakure and Iwagakure… their Daimyos will be dragged into this. If they don't come, aren't they being disrespectful?"

Then, Gojo Kaigetsu explained the key operating points of the Fire Games to Minato.

Such as: attracting sponsorships, selling merchandise, mascots, the sacred flame, Fire Games limited-edition headbands, oaths for each of the great nations, the future Fire Games application process…

After this process, not to mention outsiders, even Minato, who was always by Gojo Kaigetsu's side, was a little confused.

These advanced concepts were a bit too avant-garde for a native ninja born in the ninja world.

Although he didn't quite understand it, Minato grasped the key point: "You mean, the Joint Chūnin Exam… The Fire Games, will be very profitable in the future?"

Minato was puzzled. It was just a Joint Chūnin Exam. How could this thing make money?

"Very profitable. In the future, when we enter a period of peace, this will be one of Konoha's most profitable projects."

"Okay, let's not talk about this for now. Minato, you are responsible for getting the notice delivered, and Otogakure also needs to be arranged in advance."

"What about you?"

"I returned in a hurry, and there are some things I haven't had time to tell you. The [Akatsuki] ninja who seriously injured Guy and Shisui has been executed. I'm going to take the body to Orochimaru now. No matter what, I'll revive him first."

"And then I have to change Tsunade's eyes. The lottery and stocks should also be arranged."

Coming and going in a hurry, soon, Gojo Kaigetsu's figure disappeared from Minato's sight.

....

....

....

Amegakure, Akatsuki Hideout.

Thud!

Sasori manipulated his puppets, using the tail stinger on his back to throw Bunpuku to the ground. Even though he was seriously injured and paralyzed by Sasori's poison, Bunpuku still maintained the posture of hands clasped together.

Truly a man who was said by Shukaku to have the demeanor of the Six Paths.

Too bad his last name wasn't "Netero." If he could use the 100-Type Guanyin Bodhisattva, the Akatsuki would be instantly annihilated.

"The mission is complete. I have brought back the One-Tailed Jinchuriki."

"Well done, Sasori!"

Black Zetsu glanced around. "Where are Shinnō and Konan?"

Sasori shrugged. "Their side… probably failed. I didn't pay attention. But Konan seemed to be in a bad state. She should have returned to the base in the Land of Fire by now."

"That's impossible!" Black Zetsu's tone was exaggerated. "But I observed it. The strongest of the Konoha mission this time was only two Chunin, and there was no aura of the Mangekyō Sharingan. Shinnō and the vice-leader joined forces. How could they fail to kill Gojo Kaigetsu?"

"Even if he's hiding his strength, at most he's a special Jonin. And I personally confirmed that his guards were also only Chunin, probably to avoid arousing Sunagakure's tension. With the vice-leader and Shinnō, they still failed, and Shinnō even died in Rōran."

"That's not something I can answer." Sasori said coldly, "Are there any more missions for the organization? If not, I'm going to upgrade my puppets."

"…No more. Go do your work."

Black Zetsu had a sullen face, unable to see any emotional fluctuations. He carried Bunpuku's decaying body and walked towards the deepest part of the base.

'Damn it… failed again.'

Shinnō's death was fine, but Black Zetsu hadn't had time to excavate the treasures of the Sky Ninja Village! He just died like that?!

Also, after such a big incident, Konan actually didn't think about returning to the base first to report, but instead went directly back to Yūkaku-jō in the Land of Fire?

Black Zetsu had a faint guess in his heart, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise. "Hehe, has she already betrayed? If I poke this to Nagato, and let him know, it will definitely be very interesting…"

....

He arrived at the deepest part of the base. Unexpectedly, Pain's Deva Path was already waiting.

Black Zetsu put down Bunpuku's body and recounted what had happened.

"Trash!" Pain's Deva Path scolded mercilessly.

'With each mission, a member died. At this rate, it would soon be his turn to fight Gojo Kaigetsu.'

Pain's Deva Path immediately formed a seal: "Sealing Technique: Phantom Dragons Nine Consuming Seals!"

The deepest part of the underground space, a terrifying throbbing, a powerful chakra burst out, as if there was a dragon head coming out of the darkness, and it took a bite out of Bunpuku, who was lying on the ground, unconscious.

Then, the Shukaku, shaped like a fat tanuki, was slowly pulled out of Bunpuku's body.

Shukaku's eyes were full of fear, but no matter how it struggled, it couldn't shake the power of the Gedo Mazo in the slightest. Even though Shukaku was considered a monster in the eyes of average ninjas, in the eyes of the Gedo Mazo, Shukaku was as fragile as a newborn baby.

In the blink of an eye, Shukaku was dragged into the deepest part of the underground space by the dragon head, and there was no trace of Shukaku's aura in the air.

At the same time, one of the nine closed eyes of the Gedo Mazo slowly opened.

Whether it was a person with trypophobia or a person with a phobia of giant objects, seeing this strange scene, they would probably faint on the spot.

Bunpuku, who had been drained of Shukaku, fell to the ground with a thud, completely losing his breath. Even in death, he was still clasped in prayer.

After doing all this, Pain's Deva Path turned his head and asked coldly, "Did the vice-leader not return to report the situation?"

"No, leader. After the operation failed, she went straight back to the Yūkaku-jō base." Black Zetsu added fuel to the fire with a yin-yang tone:

"Leader, don't you think this is strange? With the combined strength of the vice-leader and Shinnō, even if a Kage came, they would probably be killed, right? How could Gojo Kaigetsu be so difficult to kill?"

"That's not something I can explain..."
