"Why hide your identity?" Uchiha Itachi asked expressionlessly.
Chiya, meanwhile, acted as if none of this concerned him. He casually examined the ninjutsu scrolls collected from the Uchiha Clan and the Sarutobi Clan, quietly listening to Obito make things up.
"If people find out Uchiha Madara is still alive, it'll cause a lot of trouble. Next, I'm taking you to meet the leader of Akatsuki." At that, he glanced sideways at Chiya and said in a low voice, "Did you hear that, Chiya?"
"Yeah, yeah, you're called Tobi, not Uchiha Madara. From now on, you're a trainee with two and a half years of practice. No, wait—you're an intern in Akatsuki. We're full members, and you're the underling." Chiya yawned, answering with extreme indifference.
"You little..." A vein popped beneath Obito's mask. He seethed inwardly, but there was nothing he could do.
He'd realized that Chiya was an incredibly twisted person. In Konoha, he usually put on the airs of a refined, kind, and polite gentleman.
In reality, he had a worse sense of humor than anyone.
Even Obito couldn't guess what he was thinking or what he was after.
And his true strength was unfathomable.
Obito didn't know whether recruiting someone like that into Akatsuki had been the right choice.

It was one of Akatsuki's temporary meeting places in Amegakure.
It looked like a clock tower.
"Chiya, including Zetsu, whom you've already met, Akatsuki currently has nine full members. We don't gather often, and some of them are as powerful as the Kage."
"Of course, since Akatsuki is just getting started, a few members are only at the Jonin level."
"People like that usually don't last long in the organization. I hope you're prepared."
