As for the previous boss, Fuguki Suikazan, Kisame could only bid him farewell helplessly. Anyway, it didn't matter who he was under.
Moreover, the benefits here are so much better than before, like getting a powerful weapon at the start, receiving a welfare package, and dealing 999 damage with a single hit.
Look at that previous boss; he was just making empty promises.
You lavishly enjoy the money you get from selling our intelligence, leaving us underlings to clean up your mess.
"Pooh!"
I, Kisame Hoshigaki, despise people like you the most.
Following the new leader, the future is bright.
"What should we do next?" Kisame asked, admiring his new weapon.
"It's nothing. I'm not planning to overthrow the Mizukage. I just feel that the Mizukage's condition is a bit off." Hozuki Mangetsu said thoughtfully.
"Alright, just let me know when you need me." Kisame Hoshigaki didn't quite believe his new boss's words.
How could a Mizukage make a mistake? Kisame took this as the reason why Hozuki Mangetsu was dissatisfied with the Mizukage.
At this moment, in Amegakure.
"Hanzō, our men have already laid an ambush at the meeting place. Once the Akatsuki members arrive, we can close in." At this moment, a Shinobi wearing Konoha Forehead Protector said.
At this moment, Hanzo of the Salamander had a gloomy expression. If it weren't for the fact that the Akatsuki had expanded so rapidly recently, that the entire Amegakure only knew the Akatsuki and not him, the Rain Shadow.
I had originally thought quite highly of the Akatsuki, but since things have turned out this way, I can't let them get away with it. Anyone who dares to challenge my authority must die.
"Don't worry, Hanzō, Konoha will grant you your requests," said the Shinobi wearing Konoha Forehead Protector.
"I didn't expect Konoha be so ruthless. I heard that the leader of Akatsuki is Jiraiya's apprentice?"
Hanzō still believed that he was dealing with Konoha, but in reality, it was Danzo who was using Konoha's name to contact Hanzō.
Although Danzo's Root is practically defunct, a few members can still be identified.
As for impersonating Anbu directly under the Hokage, Danzo did it without any qualms whatsoever.
[Ding, Shinobi Ranking, Top 7 of the Shinobi World's Kage Level Combat Power --Nagato Uzumaki]
[Dawn Zero]
[Six Paths of Pain]
[A duo of elderly, weak, sick, and disabled individuals]
[The rice carrier]
"Um?"
What's going on? I was just about to sue you, why are you showing me this?
Hanzō was a little flustered at this moment. He knew that Akatsuki Pain quite powerful, after all, he was a figure who could defeat Jiraiya.
But that's about it. After all, it was just defeating Jiraiya; it's not like everyone has fought him before.
I, Hanzo of the Salamander, am certainly not afraid of Pain, a Pain.
But why is there another one here, Nagato Uzumaki? I seem to remember him.
It's that red-haired guy next to Yahiko, right?
Being so timid and subservient doesn't seem right to me; he's only cut out to be a lackey.
However, just in case, Hanzō decided to watch it all before killing them.
[Konan: Wow, it's Nagato!]
Konan said with a hint of excitement.
[Yahiko: I knew Nagato was no ordinary kid. It seems my decision back then was right.]
At this moment, Yahiko, the leader of the Akatsuki, lavishly praised Nagato, an outstanding young man within the organization.
He promised to promote Nagato to the position of second-in- Akatsuki, even though Nagato is currently the Nagato.
[Nagato: Um, that was alright, wasn't it?]
Nagato, however, spoke modestly, saying that he didn't consider himself particularly powerful, even though he possessed the eyes of the legendary Sage of Six Paths.
And lately, the Sage of Six Paths seems to have more eyes than usual. In the previous count, Obito had one, and later when we looked at Madara Uchiha, it seemed like he also had a pair.
When did the Rinnegan become so common? Didn't Jiraiya- sensei say that his Rinnegan was unique?
They even said I was the Child of Prophecy. Could it be that Jiraiya- sensei was lying to me?
[Yahiko: This way we can see what's going on with the Akatsuki, and why there are so many shady characters in there.]
[Kakuzu:???]
[Scorpion:???]
Kakuzu, Sasori: What do you mean by that? You don't actually think we're joining Akatsuki voluntarily, do you? Ask that red-haired guy in your Akatsuki; he'd kill me if I didn't join.
Kakuzu was making a good living, and suddenly you pop up and want me to join an organization I've never even heard of. If I don't join, you even Teuchi me. Is there no law or justice left?
Scorpion is the same; she was researching silicone dolls, and who did she offend? A gentle and considerate older sister suddenly appeared, and then she started a pyramid scheme.
Those two people were the victims, and now you're showing disdain for them.
Ugh, what a scumbag!
[Nagato: It just so happens that I also have a lot of things I want to know.]
[Jiraiya: I'm also very curious about my students; why have they become so distant?]
[Hanzō: Yes, yes, young Yahiko is truly remarkable.]
At this moment, in order not to arouse Yahiko's suspicion, Hanzō could only hurry up and flatter him to prevent his true intentions from being discovered.
The scene takes place in Amegakure rains all year round.
The lingering gloom in the sky was clearly not a good sign.
In the vast canyon, Yahiko and Nagato stared intently at the creature above them— Hanzo of the Salamander.
This guy actually deceived Nagato under the pretense of cooperation, and even took the opportunity to kidnap Konan from the base, using her to threaten Nagato and Yahiko.
[Yahiko:?]
[Yahiko: Impossible! How could Lord Hanzō possibly be like that!]
Yahiko shouted in disbelief, "Hanzō actually kidnapped Konan! What does he want? Does he think he's done with the alliance?"
"Something's not right! Something's not right!" Yahiko exclaimed, finally realizing what was happening.
What a coincidence! My Akatsuki was just starting to gain momentum when I received an invitation from Hanzō, and what's more, it had to be some kind of three-way meeting.
There's been no indication from Konoha that they intend to hold talks.
Conspiracy. Right now, the only thing Yahiko can think of is conspiracy.
"Nagato, recall all the Shinobi on duty outside. Something might be wrong," Yahiko said decisively to Nagato.
Nagato shared the same sentiment and completely trusted Yahiko's words. Yahiko told him to go east, he would never go west.
"Then, Yahiko, we..." Konan looked at Yahiko with some worry.
If Hanzō really wanted to attack them, the Akatsuki wouldn't be able to stop him at all, since Hanzō had the power of the entire Amegakure.
"Don't worry, Konan. We are, after all Jiraiya's students. Hanzō can't possibly ignore Konoha's reaction."
At this moment, Yahiko still believed that Hanzō wouldn't dare to touch them, but only wanted to obtain some benefit from them.
As for Konoha, if I seek help now, there shouldn't be too much of a problem, I guess.
Jiraiya- sensei won't give up on me, will he?
