The Akatsuki Organization soon convened another meeting.
But this time, someone appeared who shocked every member of the Akatsuki Organization!
Nagato's true body appeared at the Akatsuki Organization's base for the first time.
And this was also the first time the Akatsuki members had seen their leader.
"Whoa, seriously? Could that red-haired man with the Rinnegan beside Leader Pain and Konan be our real leader?"
Watching Nagato, Konan, and Deva Path Pain arrive together, Kisame was the first to voice his shock.
His words also represented the thoughts of the other Akatsuki members!
The ordinary Akatsuki members were one thing; they had no idea Nagato even existed.
But the official Akatsuki members could mostly guess that Pain was merely a puppet and that their true leader was hidden in the shadows.
Unfortunately, before this, no one had ever seen their leader's true face.
The Akatsuki members had all sorts of theories in private about what their leader looked like.
Some even thought their leader might be a woman!
It was fortunate that Nagato did not know about that, or he probably would have rewarded them with a Shinra Tensei.
Still, the Akatsuki members had at least maintained a tacit understanding on the surface regarding Pain being a puppet and had never said it outright.
At the same time, they had all been wondering when they would get to meet their leader in person.
Nagato's true body appearing today was unexpected for the Akatsuki members, but upon further thought, it also made perfect sense!
After all, the Five Great Shinobi Villages had already united to deal with the Akatsuki Organization. If their leader still refused to show himself, it would be hard to justify!
Thus, after Nagato's true body appeared, the Akatsuki members quickly calmed down after their initial surprise.
Meanwhile,
