As fellow powers possessing the Rinnegan, and with the Land of Rain and Inazuma being neighboring countries, Akatsuki kept a close watch on Inazuma's every move.
Thus, Akatsuki quickly received intelligence that "a young Konoha ninja had entered Inazuma's Tenshukaku."
Akatsuki's base.
Inside the gloomy cave, Konan accepted the intelligence Zetsu handed over, opened it, and reviewed it together with Pain.
