The Akatsuki Organization's four-man team made no attempt to conceal their mission to capture the Seven-Tails Jinchuriki!
Clang
Hidan took the Three-Edged Reaper Scythe off his back.
"Ha ha ha, isn't that great? Who would've thought that, while capturing the Seven-Tails Jinchuriki, a Nine-Tails Jinchuriki would deliver himself right to our doorstep!
Kakuzu, what do you think? Let's capture the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki too!
He's right in front of us, so there's no need to wait until the organization's third phase to make a move, right?"
Hidan laughed wildly, bloodlust appearing on his face.
Performing an Evil God ritual for a strong opponent was his favorite thing.
After hearing Hidan's words, Kakuzu pondered for a moment, then glanced at the Hero Water he had taken from Suiken after killing him.
"With this in hand, we can indeed give it a try."
Kakuzu spoke with a thoughtful expression.
Although the Akatsuki Organization had sent four people to capture the Seven-Tails Jinchuriki this time, Kakuzu was the real decision-maker.
Leaving aside his status as an Akatsuki Organization veteran, Hidan had never had much of a brain, while Hozuki Mangetsu and Biwa Juzo had come to assist Kakuzu and Hidan in their operation.
That made Kakuzu the one calling the shots, didn't it?
"Hey! Seriously? This is way beyond the scope of the mission! Forget how strong the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki is—there's also Konoha's Sharingan Kakashi over there!
And that brat Sasuke Uchiha, Shisui's clansman, won't be easy to deal with either.
Are we really going all out like this?"
Hearing that Kakuzu actually intended to go head-to-head with Konoha, Hozuki Mangetsu immediately became anxious.
He was only an undercover agent!
He really did not want to take on a mission where he had to risk his life!
One mistake, and he would die young.
