"Don't worry, Mom hasn't finished yet."
Megumai gently patted her son's hand and slowly said: "Akatsuki's peace doctrine-creating peace in the Shinobi world through pain. Mom thinks there is a certain logic to it."
"What?!"
Seiya was greatly surprised, with a look of disbelief on his face.
"Mom, Yugito sensei is the Jinchuriki of the Two-Tails! If Akatsuki's plan succeeds, Yugito sensei will die!"
Megumai smiled slightly and said: "Mom said there is a certain logic, not that I completely agree."
"Actually, creating peace through pain is too shallow. The essence of this doctrine is to suppress the Shinobi world with absolute strength. To make sure no one dares to harbor thoughts of defiance, thereby achieving peace."
"Is there a Shinobi that strong?" Seiya felt it was unrealistic, and then a thought flashed: "Can you suppress the Shinobi world, Mom?"
"Mom cannot," Megumai smiled and shook her head.
"Although Mom has many abilities, they are ultimately too flashy and have not reached the level of 'one power breaking all laws.' Against a true master, I'm afraid I would fall short."
"Then what if you used Grandma's eyes and activated the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan?" Seiya pressed.
Megumai still shook her head.
"There will be several rising stars in the future of the Shinobi world. Mom cannot crush them."
"In that case, is Akatsuki destined to fail? They don't have the absolute strength to suppress the Shinobi world," Seiya said.
"Yes," Megumai nodded slightly. "That's why Pain is trying to collect Tailed Beasts and create Tailed Beast Weapons to enhance his strength."
"Actually, even if Pain successfully creates the Tailed Beast Weapons, it won't help. His way of achieving peace can only last for one generation. If the successor's strength is insufficient and they cannot control the Tailed Beast Weapons, the Shinobi world will still be plagued by wars. The wars might even be more intense and crueller than before, as all major powers would compete for the terrifying Tailed Beast Weapons."
Upon hearing this, Seiya couldn't help but frown and clench his fists.
"According to you, Mom, Akatsuki must be eliminated. We can't let it grow into a disaster!"
Megumai smiled faintly, neither agreeing nor disagreeing, and then asked: "Son, how do you think we should eliminate Akatsuki?"
Seiya didn't hesitate: "Of course, we should ask the Raikage-sama to dispatch elite troops to eliminate the Akatsuki leaders and core members."
"Silly child!"
Megumai affectionately pinched her son's nose.
"Akatsuki is a mercenary organization that was active during the Great Shinobi Wars. Its strength is extraordinary. It's no exaggeration to say it's equivalent to a small country. Members like Uchiha Itachi and Kisame are masters who can fight a hundred or a thousand people on their own. If the village tries to eliminate Akatsuki, it will inevitably suffer huge losses and damage its vitality. Once the village's strength declines, other villages will inevitably hear the news and take advantage of the weakness. At that time, another great war that plagues the Shinobi world might break out, with rivers of blood and countless casualties!"
"Uh..."
Seiya was stunned for a moment and then revised his strategy:
"We can invite other Shinobi villages to eliminate Akatsuki together! In this way, everyone's strength will be weakened together, and the current balance can still be maintained, preventing a war."
"Why would other Shinobi villages agree to our village's invitation?" Megumai asked in return.
Seiya blinked and said naturally: "Because Akatsuki wants to collect Tailed Beasts and create weapons that threaten the Shinobi world!"
Megumai laughed: "That's what Mom told you. Why would other Shinobi villages believe it? They won't trust Mom unconditionally like you do."
"Moreover, even if they know it's true, they won't easily participate in a joint effort. On the contrary, when their own Tailed Beasts are taken, they will secretly hope that other villages' Tailed Beasts are also taken."
"Only when a catastrophic disaster truly arrives will the major Shinobi villages reluctantly join forces. Otherwise, they will always stand by and watch each other!"
"Son, that's human nature!" Megumai's eyes were deep and meaningful.
Seiya was dumbfounded. After digesting it for a while, he said worriedly: "Mom, what should we do then? Should we just let Akatsuki grow and endanger the Shinobi world?"
Megumai smiled faintly and said: "There's not only the path of head-on confrontation in the world. Son, think about it carefully again."
"Oh," Seiya responded and fell into contemplation.
After a while, a thought flashed, and he said excitedly: "Mom, I can pretend to join Akatsuki and secretly disrupt their plans, preventing them from successfully collecting the Tailed Beasts!"
"That's a plan," Megumai nodded in agreement, patted her son's head, and added: "Going further, there are two options."
"One: Son, you can sit by and watch Akatsuki collect the Tailed Beasts of other Shinobi villages, only protecting the Two-Tails and the Eight-Tails. This way, you can effectively weaken the power of other villages through Akatsuki's hands, indirectly strengthening Kumogakure's power. Why not?"
"Two: Son, you genuinely join Akatsuki. With our relationship with Konan, the position of the next leader will surely be yours. The Tailed Beast Weapons will also be under your control. Peace will be continued in your hands."
When Seiya heard the second option, his expression changed, and his eyes showed surprise.
Seeing that his mother didn't seem to be joking, he mumbled with dissatisfaction: "Mom, I feel like you don't care about Yugito sensei's safety at all. She is your friend and my teacher. We can't just let Akatsuki kill her to create Tailed Beast Weapons!"
Megumai pursed her lips into a smile and gently smoothed the corner of her son's mouth, which was turned down in a pout.
"Of course, Mom won't let Yugito die. In fact, the Rinnegan's power is strong enough to revive the dead. As long as you ask, Nagato will revive Yugito."
"Okay," Seiya reluctantly accepted his mother's explanation, and then asked doubtfully:
"Mom, didn't you just say that achieving peace with Tailed Beast Weapons is destined to fail? So even if I become the next leader, if I'm not strong enough, or my successor isn't strong enough, it's still meaningless."
"Who said you need a successor?" Megumai asked with a smile.
Seiya wondered, "I don't?"
"Son, look closely at Mom's face." Megumai put her face close, extremely nearby.
The features were clear, flawless, and breathtakingly beautiful.
Seiya didn't understand why, but he still looked at it seriously for a while.
"Is Mom young? Is Mom beautiful?" Megumai asked.
"Young, and beautiful!" Seiya answered seriously.
"Good boy!" Megumai's eyes were filled with a smile as she gently stroked her son's cheek.
"From the time I gave birth to you until now, Mom hasn't aged at all, and my bodily functions have remained the same for over ten years, without the slightest decline. Theoretically, Mom is eternally youthful and can live forever unless I die by accident."
"You are Mom's son, and you must have inherited Mom's talent for longevity."
"So, you are an exception and don't need a successor. You can always be the leader of Akatsuki and control the Tailed Beast Weapons!"
