The Land of Rain.
"Sunagakure and Iwagakure have already submitted their surrender documents to Konoha."
A giant pitcher plant figure slowly arrived at a basement and looked at the person standing in front of it, saying...
"Submit it then; it's not the time for us to show up yet."
Obito didn't turn around; he continued looking at the Sharingan stored on the wall, which numbered only about twenty.
These are all items I've collected over the years, as well as those collected by Madara Uchiha before me.
What exactly is going on in Konoha...?
Everything changed after Danzo's death; even the Uchiha clan now had two pairs of Mangekyo.
All the plans I made were disrupted.
Thinking of this, Obito turned to look at Zetsu and asked:
"Itachi, have you made any moves lately?"
He hasn't shown his face since Pain recruited Itachi into the Akatsuki.
After all, as someone who also possessed the Mangekyo Sharingan, Obito knew just how troublesome those eyes were.
"No, he's very honest. He even went with Konan to recruit new people~"
White Zetsu responded, his tone slightly provocative.
If the two Uchiha were to start a fight over this, wouldn't it be quite amusing?
"A newcomer?"
Obito Uchiha's eyes, hidden beneath his mask, darkened slightly.
Kakuzu and Kisame are both missing; they are presumably dead.
Even the previously undecided member from the Yugakure was killed.
All of this was because of this Hagoromo, an extremely powerful person, whom even Obito wasn't confident he could defeat.
After all, their rise was too sudden, as if they appeared out of thin air.
"Not bad~ They just got back, and they all seem to be quite strong~"
White Zetsu spread his arms and waved them dramatically.
Black Zetsu generally doesn't speak unless necessary, which makes the talkative White Zetsu quite bored.
"Let's go take a look--"
Upon hearing Obito Uchiha immediately stepped forward, speaking only as he passed by White Zetsu.
Upon seeing this White Zetsu immediately broke into a smile; he loved joining in the fun.
Central Tower.
As Obito stepped into the circular hall, everyone inside turned to look.
Pain glanced at Obito and Zetsu, then paid them no further attention.
Itachi glanced at Obito as he entered, then closed his eyes again.
Deidara, on the other hand, watched the newcomers with great interest, his eyes filled with eagerness.
Obito around and his gaze settled on the three figures standing in front of the circular hall.
Beneath the mask, his brows were furrowed, and White Zetsu beside him spoke:
"Ara ara~ Another new member has joined us~"
Why don't you introduce it?
Upon hearing this, one of the figures merely glanced at White Zetsu, his red eyes filled with disdain.
A man with long green hair grinned, revealing sharp teeth. "Heh~ Introduce yourself? Or how about I throw you a grand lightning funeral? A very grand one!"
"No, this guy exudes a strong life force; I need to test him out first."
Another middle-aged man with white hair and golden eyes looked at White Zetsu with great interest and was about to walk over as he spoke.
"Alright."
Seeing this, Pain immediately stopped them, looking at the slender figure in white robes, with white hair and red eyes, and said, "Hiruko, you are the North Dipper."
"Raiga Kurosuki, you're for the Three Platforms."
"Shinnō, you are the South Dipper."
After saying that, Pain raised his hand and waved it, and the three rings flew directly to the person they represented.
Obito simply watched everything unfold before him quietly. These individuals had always been on Akatsuki's recruitment list.
The problem was that we didn't have enough members before, and these few were all troublemakers.
Although the members of Akatsuki have always been like this.
But these three, apart from Raiga Kurosuki, each have their own ambitions, making them even more difficult to recruit than Kakuzu and the others.
Surprisingly, this time they were recruited by Konan and Itachi.
Hiruko looked at the ring in her hand that symbolized the North Dipper, and put it directly on the middle finger of her left hand.
He then looked at Pain's figure and said, "I hope your promise isn't a lie, otherwise I'll kill you myself!"
After saying that, Hiruko turned and left.
Finally, he glanced at Uchiha Itachi, who was resting with his eyes closed.
I must get the Sharingan!
"Boss! When are you sending me on a mission?! I can't wait to hold the funeral!"
Raiga Kurosuki stared at Pain in the main seat with a crazed expression.
"Konan, take him downstairs to prepare."
Pain glanced at Raiga Kurosuki and spoke to the person beside him.
"Yes!"
Konan nodded, signaling Raiga Kurosuki to follow.
Seeing this, Raiga Kurosuki had no complaints, after all, he had been defeated by the woman in front of him.
She was also the one he was aiming to hold his funeral for!
"Excuse me, could you cut off a tiny bit of your tissue? I'd like to study it carefully!"
Shinnō was filled with excitement, because the White Zetsu monster in front of him made him feel that as long as he could figure it out, the progress of physical activation would definitely increase greatly!
"If you want to die, you can try."
White Zetsu had already gotten goosebumps from Shinnō's gaze, so Black Zetsu took over control.
He stared dangerously at Shinnō before him.
"Oh? One body, two souls? Interesting!"
Shinnō completely ignored Black Zetsu's threat and instead looked at Jue's body with even more excitement.
Black Zetsu, White Zetsu: ······
I've seen crazy things, but I've never seen anything this crazy.
"Give it to him. These are the conditions offered for him to join the organization."
After Pain finished speaking, he ignored Obito and turned to walk out of the hall.
Obito chuckled softly, "Heh heh heh, perfect, give it to him."
It's necessary to give this kind of person some benefits.
Moreover, Pain seems quite confident; it's just a question of whether he can keep these three in check.
After saying that, Obito turned and left.
As Obito left, Itachi opened his eyes.
After glancing at the people present, he left the hall directly.
"Hey! Uchiha Itachi, let's have another fight!"
Seeing this, Deidara immediately followed suit. He had lost in a muddle last time, and this time he had to fight Uchiha Itachi again.
As for the three newcomers, we can find another opportunity to have a match with them later; there's no rush.
Whoosh--
A voice came from behind, Uchiha Itachi paused, glanced at the entrance to the hall behind him, and then left.
Inside the hall, Black Zetsu severed off an arm and threw it on the ground; new tissue was slowly growing from the severed area.
Pain is starting to get out of control~
In the quiet hall, Shinnō stared at White Zetsu's newly grown arm, his eyes filled with greed.
This guy! I wish I could experiment on him!
But don't rush, take your time. As long as you're in this organization, you'll definitely have opportunities!
As he thought about it, Shinnō squatted down and picked up White Zetsu's arm that had just fallen off, as if he were looking at something perfect.
"That person looks very dissatisfied."
After Raiga Kurosuki in, Konan reached the top of the tower and spoke.
"His plans are almost entirely scrapped; let's do it ourselves."
Pain remained calm, his words devoid of any emotion.
