"Dawn?"
"So, if I help you destroy that organization, you'll restore your alliance with Konoha?"
Hanzo nodded and said, "Yes, that's exactly what I mean."
"So, what exactly is that organization like?" Shiyu asked to confirm.
"That organization is a lobbying group called Akatsuki. Originally, I didn't intend to take action against them, but they have always been a threat to me, so I decided to ask you to help me resolve this matter," Hanzo explained.
"Isn't this a bit too much? This is an internal matter for your country, it's probably not appropriate for you to come to me, is it?" Shiyu naturally didn't want to be used by Hanzo.
"I see. That explains it. They wanted to use me to destroy Akatsuki. If I were destroyed by Akatsuki, Hanzo would have fulfilled his promise to Danzo. But if I destroyed Akatsuki, I'm afraid I'd still be waiting for an ambush."
"Shiyu, our purpose in coming here is for the peace of Konoha, so please agree." Danzo seemed to understand Hanzo's meaning; he wanted to extract the last remaining value from Shiyu.
"What does Konoha's peace have to do with me? I just want what I deserve."
"You can't go back on your word about those conditions I made. And if you want me to defeat Xiao, you at least have to help me break the Five Elements Seal, right?" Shiyu urged.
Danzo immediately said, "If I give you the Hand Seals and then you just run away, what am I supposed to do? Your Taijutsu is pretty good, isn't it? Just go! Hanzo said they are no match for you, and they definitely won't be your match."
Shiyu's eyes turned cold.
"Danzo, you are a despicable bastard. If I hadn't been sealed away, I would have killed you immediately." Shiyu truly wanted to tear Danzo to pieces.
"Alright, enough talk. Whether I'm shameless or not, I will never break the seal for you. Do you have any more questions? If not, go and complete your task." Danzo urged, completely disregarding Shiyu.
"Hmph Shiyu snorted coldly, looking angry but helpless, and then left the spot.
After that, Shiyu began his own scheme.
"Danzo is doomed this time! But killing him won't be now, it will be soon."
"The most important thing right now is to find Akatsuki and carry out my plan." With Shiyu disappeared into Amegakure.
The Akatsuki Organization of today is different from the Akatsuki Organization of the future.
The current Akatsuki Organization is led by Yahiko and exists to bring peace to Amegakure.
"Obito should already be training with Madara, but it will be some time before Obito to provoke Nagato. I never expected to be the first person to make contact with the Akatsuki Organization," Shiyu muttered to himself.
The main reason why Shiyu agreed to Hanzo and Danzo was that he wanted to absorb Nagato's bloodline power. Nagato possessed the Uzumaki Clan's bloodline, the Rinnegan, and a portion of the Six Paths power.
Shiyu was 100% certain that if he could absorb Nagato's power, the evolution of his eyes would proceed very smoothly.
The Akatsuki Organization is easy to find. Currently, the Akatsuki Organization are wearing pure black cloaks, without the red auspicious cloud pattern. All members are traveling around persuading the ninjas who attacked Amegakure to put down their Kunai and return to peace.
Shiyu easily found an Akatsuki Organization member and greeted him.
"You? You're a child? Why are you here? Are you a ninja too?" The Akatsuki Organization member asked, puzzled.
Shiyu did not answer the member's question, but instead said in a humble yet assertive manner, "I would like to meet the leaders of your organization, I think they are Yahiko, Konan, and Nagato? Hanzo ordered me to speak with you."
"What? Hanzo? Are you serious?" The Akatsuki Organization member clearly didn't believe it.
"I'm Konoha ninja, you don't believe me? Fine, then I'll prove it to you! Fire Style: Great Fire Arrow!" Shiyu unleashed a powerful Fire Style at a spot behind him.
Immediately afterwards, several ninjas appeared.
"These are... Hanzo's bodyguards? They all used invisibility jutsu?" Members of Akatsuki Organization gathered around.
Those ninjas who were set on fire all wore Amegakure Forehead Protector, clearly indicating that they were spies sent by Hanzo to monitor Shiyu.
"It seems Hanzo is indeed cautious, having even sent out spies." Now that Shiyu is free from the control of Hanzo and Danzo, he has no more scruples.
"So? I've taken care of Hanzo's Hanzo who were planning to infiltrate Akatsuki Organization with me. Now you can trust me, right?" Shiyu asked.
This put the Akatsuki Organization member in a dilemma.
"Alright! Follow me!" The Akatsuki Organization members finally made their decision.
"Lead the way." Shiyu followed the member and headed into the heart of the Akatsuki Organization.
Soon, the Akatsuki Organization members led Shiyu to a very enclosed room, Shiyu immediately spotted the Akatsuki Organization ninjas hidden around him.
"As expected, Yahiko is quite cautious, which surprised me." Shiyu had thought that Yahiko would let Shiyu in directly like Naruto, but now it seems that as the leader of the organization, he is still very wary.
"You're a ninja from Konoha? I heard you're looking for the three of us? What's the matter?" The enclosed space had a recessed area in the middle, and three figures were standing on the stands.
The figure in the middle has orange hair, wears a robe of dawn, and has a face that combines maturity and childlike innocence. The figure on the left has light blue-purple hair, light orange-yellow eyes, and a pale purple paper flower on the right side of her head.
The person on the right has a full head of bright red hair, and through the split ends of the hair, you can vaguely see several ripples in the left eye.
However, Shiyu clearly sensed that Nagato's body trembled when he saw his Forehead Protector.
"Yahiko, Konan, Nagato, do you still remember Jiraiya- sensei?" Shiyu asked, directly bringing up Jiraiya to allay their concerns.
"Jiraiya- sensei!" The three exchanged glances, their interest in Shiyu growing even stronger.
"I am the Third Hokage's disciple, that is, Jiraiya's junior brother, in other words, your senior uncle. But you are all older than me, so just call me Shiyu." Shiyu also dropped those strange titles, treating the three of them as equals.
"How is Jiraiya- sensei? There's been another war recently. The three of them are much less wary now."
Shiyu waved her hand and said, "Now, could we remove the ambushes hidden around here? It's probably not convenient to talk like this."
"I'm really sorry, I hope you can understand."
"I understand. After all, I was sent by Hanzo to kill you."
