Chapter 477

Orochihime shook her head.

As long as he has his own cells, he has a way to control them.

Just like Itachi removing his own cells for Sasuke, it was because Itachi knew the danger of his own cells that he forced Sasuke to the very end...

The Land of Rice Fields, where the Otogakure is located, and the Land of Rain Amegakure is located, are not far apart.

The weasel acted swiftly.

Experiencing a body that feels lighter and stronger during the journey.

With the enhancement of Hashirama Cells, his speed, which was already comparable to that of Crown Prince Naruto in his golden form, was further improved to an unbelievable level.

I adapted to the power along the way.

Itachi soon arrived in the storm-torn Land of Rain.

When Itachi entered the cave where Akatsuki Organization originated.

Nagato was already waiting there.

"Itachi... I didn't expect you to be the first one to arrive."

Nagato looked surprised.

He thought "Ban" would be the first to cause him trouble.

It turns out Itachi arrived first.

"Nagato, gather everyone immediately. It's time for all members to lay their cards on the table."

The meeting of the Akatsuki Organization began soon.

All members of the Akatsuki Organization gathered together.

Make judgments about the future direction of the ninja world, the Akatsuki Organization's faction, goals, etc.

398. Countdown to the Destruction of Konoha: Two Weeks

As the phantoms appeared one by one.

The Akatsuki Organization members appeared in the cave.

At present.

The remaining members of the Akatsuki Organization can be "ostensibly" divided into two factions.

The faction led by Nagato.

The members are... Nagato, Konan, Itachi, and Orochihime.

The faction led by Obito.

The members include... Obito, Black Zetsu, White Zetsu Kisame, Hidan, Sasuke.

"Itachi, you're still alive."

Hidan exclaimed in surprise upon seeing Itachi appear.

After being rescued from beneath the Golden Wheel Mountain by Black Zetsu and White Zetsu and reassembled, Hidan has been recuperating during this time.

It has now recovered to about 70-80%.

"I was summoned by Orochimaru using the 'Impure World Reincarnation' technique."

Itachi, however, simply told a lie.

As Orochi Kabuto said in the original work, he lied his whole life.

Itachi's strongest Genjutsu was never his Mangekyō.

Rather, it's his words and actions...

Obito, who was initially shocked by Itachi's disappearance, calmed down a bit.

After all, the fact that the transplanted eye to Sasuke was fine meant that Itachi was indeed dead...

In other words, what's currently in front of him should be the Impure World Reincarnation Itachi.

But... is that really the case?

Obito looked at Itachi with suspicion.

Because it's the "Magic Lantern Body Technique," which is just a projection, he couldn't directly determine whether Itachi was alive or dead.

"Hehe."

Orochihime smiled softly, remaining silent.

It's as if they've tacitly agreed to it.

Obtaining the Mangekyō Sharingan marked another step forward in her ambitions.

What's wrong with taking the blame for something?

After all, only by continuously improving one's own strength and finally breaking the "Eight Trigrams Seal" can one have the right to challenge everyone.

"The Nine-Tails Jinchuriki has now returned to Konoha."

Deva Path Pain, spoke.

Nagato continued to maintain his identity as the leader of Akatsuki Organization through Yahiko's words.

"So after this period of rest and recuperation, I've decided to strike again, and this time..."

Nagato looked at Itachi.

"I've decided to take Itachi and Konan with me to capture the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki!"

"Wow, that's quite a big operation," Hidan commented. "How about adding me? Those guys from Konoha hurt me so badly, I want to get my revenge!"

Hidan, who knew nothing about the situation, was somewhat eager to try and join forces with Pain.

Watching Nagato and the Akatsuki members chatting and laughing.

Obito narrowed his eyes.

What does it mean that there was no open falling out?

Wasn't he already convinced by that brat Naruto Uzumaki?

For a moment, Obito was somewhat unable to fathom Nagato's thoughts.

"Hidan's ability is very useful. If we can extract the blood of the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki and use your forbidden technique, then we can easily capture him..."

Pain nodded, indicating his agreement that Hidan could go along.

"So this time I'll team up with Itachi? A new immortal duo is born, hahaha!"

Hidan laughed without a care in the world.

He was already thinking about how to deal with those guys from Konoha!

"How's the Eight-Tails doing?"

Pain looked around but didn't see Kisame.

Were they already killed?

"Kisame has successfully infiltrated Kumogakure and is currently lurking near the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki..."

"Black Zetsu said."

"We can eavesdrop on their battle plans and then strike to subdue the Eight-Tails when the time is right..."

After the Akatsuki Organization meeting concluded.

Pain and Itachi lowered their hands from the Hand Seals.

Outside the cave, wind and rain raged.

According to the plan, Hidan will arrive and join them in a few days.

At that time...

"I will use the Mangekyō Sharingan: Genjutsu to control Hidan."

Itachi said.

One glare and Hidan is clearly just a tool in our game.

His curse ability is indeed very useful.

Perhaps we can find a weakness in Amakawa Akito's abilities then.

There's no need to worry about Hidan.

"We must go to Konoha secretly."

Nagato said calmly.

"At this time, it's not advisable to rashly reveal our relationship with Konoha..."

Because that would cause trouble for Konoha.

After all, dealing with seven Tailed Beast is indeed difficult.

"After defeating Amakawa Akito, we will return the Tailed Beast to the respective countries."

In this way, countries can regain some of their strength.

For Madara to capture Tailed Beast again would be even more difficult.

Nagato believed it.

Having already learned their lesson, the Five Great Nations will surely be more determined to protect the power of the Tailed Beast.

At that point, Ban's plan will automatically fail.

"We need to discuss how to deal with Amakawa Akito. His strength might even rival that of the God of Shinobi..."

Itachi gave Akito extremely high praise.

This is also why he dared not die casually.

The one who could truly wreak havoc on the ninja world was not just Madara, but also Amakawa Akito.

The spots no longer pose a threat.

Because his younger brother is behind him.

Itachi believed that, given Sasuke's intelligence, he would definitely betray him immediately after the Eternal Eye were fused.

Therefore, the current priority is to figure out how to defeat the Emperor of Amegakure.

Then, Itachi uttered that famous line from the original work...

"Nagato, if we join forces, we will dominate the ninja world!"

While Itachi and Nagato were preparing their plan to deal with Akito...

Tsunade finally woke up from her coma.

Today, we're all just doing nothing!

Tsunade ate voraciously, using the food to convert energy and replenish her Chakra.

I listened as Shizune recounted the events of the past few days.

"Immediately contact the Daimyo of the Land of Fire! Get them to agree to form Allied Shinobi Forces!"

Tsunade waved her chopsticks, issuing the order.

Soon... the shadows of the Five Great Nations made contact with the five daimyo.

At a critical juncture for the ninja world, the five daimyo united and agreed to form Allied Shinobi Forces.

All subsequent matters were left to the ninjas to handle.

Then...
