****************
Guy and Kakashi rushed back to the village overnight after receiving the news.
Their faces were still full of exhaustion, but due to the urgency of the matter, they went straight to Tsunade.
Seeing Colt enter, the two raised their spirits and greeted him with a smile. They knew the guy quite well after all.
Tsunade nodded, "You came just in time, Colt. We're discussing how to deal with the enemy and would like to hear your opinion."
Colt pondered.
This situation was different from the original timeline.
It was very likely that Nagato would dispatch the entire Akatsuki organization.
However, Kisame couldn't come, as he had already sent information that he was guarding Sasuke after his eye transplant.
"Let's talk about the Immortal duo," Colt began.
He then proceeded to brief them on the other Akatsuki members Konoha had encountered.
"Immortal duo?" Several people looked at each other, wondering about this strange name.
Colt shrugged and shared the information about Kakuzu and Hidan, attributing the source to Yugito.
After listening, even Jiraiya's expression became solemn.
"An immortal body, and the ability to inflict shared injuries after obtaining the enemy's blood..."
"Indeed, the world is so amazing that any kind of bizarre bloodline limit may appear," Tsunade remarked.
Compared to Kakuzu's abilities and experience, Hidan's were the strangest.
Even a strong shinobi like Jiraiya could be severely injured if Hidan obtained his blood.
And it was very likely to happen - after all, how could a ninja fight without getting hurt?
Tsunade thought for a moment and suggested.
"Let the Sarutobi clan deal with Hidan. As for Kakuzu..."
Colt interrupted her.
"Normal [Fire Style] has no effect on Hidan's immortality. Besides, I think fewer people would be better."
Noticing everyone's puzzled looks, Colt continued in a deep voice.
"Whether it's Sasori, Deidara, or even Kakuzu, they all have wide-range destructive ninjutsu. When there are too many people, the strong will not only have to deal with the enemy but will also be tied up because they need to protect their own people."
He really didn't want Konoha's backbone to gather together.
If Nagato found a chance to use [Shinra Tensei], everyone would die, and Colt couldn't guarantee that Nagato would use [Rinne Tensei] to revive the dead.
Jiraiya nodded.
"That's right. Konan's paper techniques will also be powerful and explosive, rendering the numerical advantage meaningless."
Tsunade looked at the two and decided to take their advice.
"Then we'll send an elite squad to take the initiative and try to keep the battlefield away from Konoha."
"Colt, you'll be the commander-in-chief in this battle. You're the one who knows the Akatsuki the most."
When he heard that, Jiraiya had a request.
"Colt, please, let me deal with Konan. I'm familiar with her."
"Alright," Colt agreed, as this was his original plan.
"Kakashi-sensei, your [Lightning Style] counters Deidara's [Earth Style], so he'll be your opponent."
"No problem," Kakashi's eyes drooped slightly.
Deidara was in a way his old rival, so it was time to end it.
"Guy-sensei, your taijutsu will deal great damage to Sasori's puppets. Combined with Tsunade-san's special antidote, his poison won't work either."
"Yosh! My blood is already burning!" Guy gave a thumbs up, already looking impatient and itching for action.
"As for the immortal duo, leave them to Yugito."
Colt had wanted her to watch over the girls, however, he did promise her revenge against them.
"Yugito?" Tsunade was taken aback.
She didn't expect Colt to make such an arrangement for their sort of prisoner.
"Is that really okay? Besides, she no longer has a tailed beast in her, so it might be challenging for her to deal with two people."
Colt assured her, "Yugito's strength is quite good now. It would be a waste not to make use of her and keep her as a prisoner. Plus, she's fought against Kakuzu and Hidan before, so it shouldn't be a problem."
Tsunade nodded her head as that made sense.
Jiraiya suddenly said.
"I think there's one more person who can help."
Kakashi immediately objected as he could tell what Jiraiya meant.
"Jiraiya-sama, isn't it too reckless to let Naruto join the battle? Akatsuki's target is him."
"If he doesn't know about such a big event, Naruto will definitely blame himself in the future for not protecting his hometown," Jiraiya argued. "What's more, Naruto is not just a Jinchūriki, but also a Konoha shinobi."
Jiraiya's expression became more serious. He could fully empathize with Naruto's strong will to protect his home and people.
In the end, Colt suggested.
"As long as he masters that technique, Naruto can join the fight."
They all agreed.
Meanwhile, in Amegakure...
While Colt and the others discussed their battle plan, Pain also called all the Akatsuki members together, except for Kisame and Sasuke.
Sasuke was still in a coma and hadn't obtained Itachi's ring, so he couldn't participate in the gathering through the [Astral Projection Technique] even if he was awake.
The Eight-Tails Jinchūriki had been sealed, leaving only the Seven-Tails and Nine-Tails uncaptured in the entire ninja world.
Compared to the Seven-Tails without backing, the Nine-Tails with Konoha's support was the tricky problem.
"This time, I've decided to mobilize all of the Akatsuki," Pain's voice was serious, completely different from his usual indifference.
"Now the only obstacle standing in our way is Konoha. As soon as we get the Nine-Tails, we'll be just one step away from success."
Kakuzu snorted coldly, "I agree. Once these Five Great Nations are destroyed, no one can stop me from making more money."
Deidara was also excited, "It must be more enjoyable to blow up Konoha than Sunagakure, right?"
The rest of the members had no objections.
Although each Akatsuki member had their own preferences and goals, they all knew Pain's plan before joining and were willing to contribute to it.
Black and White Zetsu looked at Pain with a flash of satisfaction in his eyes.
It was hard to find such a good tool who didn't slack off in the slightest.
Kisame's expression was full of regret, and his tone was somewhat apologetic.
"It's a pity that I'm still taking care of the seriously injured Uchiha Sasuke in the Land of Lightning, and I won't be able to make it back in time."
Pain nodded, "It's okay. You caught the Eight-Tails and were injured, so just continue to recuperate."
There were already so many Kage-level powerhouses; one less didn't make much difference.
Moreover, with the Hashirama cells given by Madara and the body of White Zetsu, Pain's strength had undergone tremendous changes. Now he wasn't concerned about facing Kamiyo Colt anymore.
Kisame breathed a sigh of relief.
He had finally escaped this mission.
If he really had to follow the group to attack Konoha, would he have to betray them?

****************
Inside the tower in Amegakure, Konan entered the room where Nagato's body was located after the meeting.
Looking at Nagato with his ruddy face and freely moving legs, Konan's mood improved significantly.
Even her impression of Madara had changed.
Thanks to the Hashirama cells provided by Madara, Nagato was able to stand again.
His vitality had been greatly enhanced.
In truth, Obito was also helpless.
He had been coveting Nagato's Rinnegan, so why would he willingly strengthen his potential enemy? But faced with Colt's threat and Konoha's strong shinobi, it would be very difficult to successfully capture the Nine-Tails with the current Akatsuki.
No matter how afraid he was of Nagato's recovery, he had to take the risk to restore his health.
Now Nagato was transforming the Six Paths of Pain's bodies. The original Six Paths were too weak, so he had to take advantage of this last moment to strengthen them.
The next day, the perpetual rain of Amegakure had stopped.
Today, with Akatsuki mobilizing all its members, there was no need to monitor the village.
In the tower, led by Pain, dozens of imposing figures in black robes with red clouds emerged.
Everyone exuded a terrifying sense of oppression.
Pain looked around and issued his declaration:
"Today, we will end the myth of the Five Great Powers! Let the shadow of the Akatsuki organization cover the whole world!"
**********
Meanwhile, in Konoha, after Colt and Jiraiya brought back the information, the atmosphere in the entire village had chilled considerably.
There were fewer pedestrians on the streets, and foreign tourists were being persuaded to return home by Konoha's ninjas.
If there was no special need, everyone stayed at home quietly.
With the experience of the last Sunagakure invasion, the villagers were worried but not panicking.
Once something happens for the first time, people's acceptance level correspondingly increases.
Outside the village, a large number of Hyuga clan ninjas were scattered around, constantly searching for traces of the enemy.
Suddenly, a Hyuga ninja's eyes widened.
"That's... this chakra!"
In the sight of his [Byakugan], the chakra in the distance was almost overwhelming. In total, it was extremely terrifying. This was the Akatsuki!
Without the slightest hesitation, he immediately released the signal flares that had been prepared a long time ago.
Each of the dozens of Hyuga ninjas scattered around the village was equipped with several characteristic flares to convey information as quickly as possible.
Boom!
The gunpowder rose to its highest point, bursting out with a huge roar and striking fireworks.
It was clearly visible even in the daytime.
Far away, riding on the back of a clay bird, Pain and the others also saw this scene.
They understood that they had been exposed.
Konan frowned slightly.
"Should we change plans?"
Pain shook his head, "No need. Only by bringing the deepest pain can people understand the preciousness of peace. Our action this time is to make Konoha feel the utmost pain. Detecting us is not going to change that"
At the same time, the ninja in Konoha Village also received the signal, which was conveyed to the Hokage's office as quickly as possible.
"Inoichi, tell everyone to prepare for battle!"
"Yes, Hokage-sama!"
Yamanaka Inoichi sat in front of a strange machine, and his family's secret technique instantly linked all the elite ninjas in the plan.
Dozens of figures jumped directly onto the roofs and ran towards the source of the signal.
Swish!
Colt's figure appeared beside Tsunade.
Ino, Yakumo, Temari, Hinata, and Kurenai were also brought there by him.
"Tsunade-sama, you should stay in the village. If there's any unknown variable, activate the [Flying Thunder God] seal immediately," Colt said, worried that Pain and the others might attack from behind and target the village.
Tsunade gently arranged the clothes of Colt and tapped his forehead.
"You must come back alive."
Colt was caught off guard but then he responded.
"Sister Tsunade, it's just Pain. You can rest assured." He whispered it and the others didn't hear him.
Tsunade smiled and said nothing.
Of course, she knew how strong Colt was, but she had already lost too much…
"Wait for the good news." Colt tightened the armguard on his hand, used the [Flying Thunder God] again, appeared outside Konoha, and caught up with the large army.
"Colt, you're here," Jiraiya said.
He and the others weren't rushing forward.
Fighting here could not only avoid the spread to the village but also help in time if the village was in danger.
"Where's Naruto?" Looking around, Colt didn't see Naruto, which was a little strange.
"He was still accumulating natural energy at Mount Myōboku. I'm going to summon him now," Jiraiya replied. After speaking, he bit his finger and performed the [Summoning Technique].
Naruto's figure appeared his eyes with orange eyeshadow, having already entered the [Sage Mode].
"Colt!" Naruto was overjoyed when he saw Colt, but realizing the gravity of the situation, he immediately turned serious.
"Hey, Naruto." Colt nodded, but his eyes fell on the two toads who appeared with him: Lord Fukasaku and Lady Shima.
"Jiraiya, is the enemy this time the legendary Rinnegan?" Lord Fukasaku's expression was serious.
From Mount Myōboku, he naturally knew many secrets.
After a thousand years, the eyes of the Sage of Six Paths had reappeared in the world and became their enemy.
"Yes, Lord Fukasaku, Lady Shima, please help me enter the Sage Mode," Jiraiya said, folding his hands together and starting to accumulate natural energy with the two sage toads.
The two toads also noticed Colt's gaze, felt the natural energy surging in his body and were surprised.
"Jiraiya, who is this kid? Quickly get him under your tutelage!" Lord Fukasaku said hurriedly.
Even Lady Shima's eyes brightened.
Jiraiya looked odd.
Bring Colt under his tutelage? He might want to, but he wouldn't dare!
If Tsunade knew that he had recruited Colt, he'd have to buy a permanent room at the Konoha Hospital.
"Elders, don't even think about Colt. He is a summoner associated with the Shikkotsu Forest. What's more, my strength is no longer comparable to Colt's. Wouldn't it be shameful for me to accept him as an apprentice?"
Saying that, Jiraiya shook his head with deep regret, obviously very remorseful.
At this time, there was wild laughter from the sky in the distance.
"Hahaha! Boss! This time I'll go first!"
"Fine."
At that moment…
"Konoha's chumps, feel the true art!"
On the rapidly approaching clay bird, there was a conversation between Pain and Deidara.
After they finished speaking, a huge lump of clay exploded from the sky!
Then, huge clumps of clay flew at a rapid speed toward them.
"This is my opponent, let me handle it!" Kakashi's Sharingan began to spin, forming the Mangekyō.
"[Kamui]!"
With a space warp, the huge clay bombs were all sent into the Kamui dimension!
