This time, the Akatsuki Organization had gathered in Takigakure. Soji's ostensible goal was to slow their progress in capturing the Jinchuriki.
His true goal was to gather the remaining three types of Chakra: Water, Yin, and Yang!
Soji had waited far too long to elevate his life level to the Six Paths level.
This time, while he could not claim absolute certainty, Soji was at least eighty percent confident that he could accomplish his goal.
And the most crucial link in this plan lay with Sasuke.
As for Kisame's Water Release Chakra, that was merely Soji's first target.
After writing replies to both Shisui and Kisame, Soji left Konoha.
This time, Soji had not asked the Third Hokage for leave before departing.
After all, taking leave too often would not leave a good impression.
So, Soji chose to sneak out of Konoha.
Well, if he got caught, that would look even worse!
Still, such a possibility presumably did not exist.
Before quietly leaving Konoha, Soji had left behind an Ice Clone and entrusted the Reincarnation Mirror, which he normally never let out of his sight, to it as well.
Once the Ice Clone could no longer sustain itself, the Reincarnation Mirror would naturally replenish its Chakra.
After leaving the village, Soji went to greet Minato before setting out.
Rather than heading straight to Takigakure, Soji first went to the place where he had recently told Kisame to await his arrival.
With Soji's current mobility, even without summoning Little Gold, he reached his rendezvous point with Kisame in only a few hours through his own speed.
By the time Soji arrived with his icy wings spread wide, Kisame had already been waiting at their meeting point for some time.
The familiar luxurious snow-white robe and Ice Mask.
Kisame recognized Soji's identity
