Hanfu's Mission

The memories came from Yuki Kanpyo. Just now, his two-person team with Zetsu had officially concluded. After Zetsu left, Yuki Kanpyo disbanded himself and transmitted the intelligence from that side to Hanfu.

There were many memories, and Hanfu spent a few minutes sorting them out. Apart from large sections of meaningless conversations, arguments, missions, and miscellaneous trivial matters, Hanfu discovered quite a bit of valuable intelligence.

For example, Yuki Kanpyo's new teammate after disbanding with Zetsu was none other than the missing-nin from Yugakure, Hidan.

That brat Hanfu had kicked in the butt back then had finally become a teammate of Hanfu's shadow clone!

Congratulations to little Hidan.

As for Zetsu, he had another mission...

'Confirm the specific locations of the Jinchuriki of the major hidden villages?'

Akatsuki intended to retrieve the Tailed Beasts in advance!

The reason for this was the scroll in Namikaze Minato's possession.

Because he knew the list of all Akatsuki members, Namikaze Minato had eagerly ordered Kakashi to lead the Sixth Division to investigate the whereabouts of Zetsu and Kisame Hoshigaki in the ninja world. This was detected by Akatsuki, who deduced that there was a traitor within their organization.

However, after preliminary checks, Nagato could not confirm who exactly had betrayed Akatsuki. Thus, he decided to cut the Gordian knot and advance the Tailed Beast retrieval plan!

The plan being advanced might not be beneficial for Akatsuki, as the ninja world situation was not yet chaotic, and many detailed preparations were not in place. But for Nagato, it was a good thing, as his Rinnegan needed to be nourished by life force!

Thinking about Nagato's appearance when he invaded Konoha in the original work, he was completely skin and bones. But at this moment, he still had at least a few pounds of muscle!
