"First, we need to make our position clear. Tell Konoha that the Akatsuki Organization has absolutely nothing to do with Iwagakure!
"I'll personally kill him with these old bones of mine!"
After considering it for a moment, Ōnoki slowly spoke of what to do if Deidara was found.
Though his tone was calm, the killing intent within it was undisguised.
If Deidara's head could win Saiki Yuu's favor, he would show no mercy. Since Deidara had become a rogue ninja, he should have been prepared for this!
Rather than let Deidara die at Saiki Yuu's hands, Ōnoki would rather personally end him.
"Understood." Kitsuchi nodded and slowly left with Kurotsuchi. As they departed, he continued lecturing Kitsuchi, telling him to show absolute respect to Lord Saiki Yuu. "Akatsuki... what exactly does this organization want? Do they really intend to challenge that throne?"
After Kitsuchi and Kurotsuchi left, Ōnoki silently placed his Tsuchikage hat on the table, his expression dark.
In fact, Ōnoki had once hired the Akatsuki Organization to carry out certain secret missions for Iwagakure, so he had some understanding of the organization's strength.
As long as the price was right, this organization could perfectly complete even the most difficult missions. It was extremely powerful! But in recent years, Ōnoki had not wanted anything to do with it. The Three-Tails, Six-Tails, and Seven-Tails had all been captured by the organization.
According to the intelligence he had received, aside from the six Tailed Beasts in Saiki Yuu's possession, these three were the rest of the Nine Tailed Beasts. Without question, this organization's target was the Tailed Beasts!
Although he did not know why the organization was capturing Tailed Beasts, if it intended to continue hunting them, then it would inevitably have to face the most terrifying man in the world!
