The Akatsuki Organization

"Xiao Yu! Have you forgotten what you said that day?!"

Upon hearing this, the Useless Bird immediately raised its head and chirped.

"Hmph, good that you know. Hold on tight to this." With that, Ayue stuffed the Flying Thunder God Kunai into the Useless Bird's claws and made it grab it.

Then, holding it by the neck, he placed it on top of the map, pointed to the location Minato had just explained, and said:

"Take this here, as fast as you can, and then fill it with magic Chakra, understand? If you can't do it, I'll have the teacher cancel the plan!"

"Squeak? Squeak squeak squeak!!!"

"Hmph, if you don't want to think about it, then go ahead." With that, he tossed the struggling, Useless Bird away.

"It can. Well, I'm looking forward to seeing how it performs." Minato was about to question the Useless Bird Useless Bird's abilities when he saw it shoot out like an arrow, moving at incredible speed!

Therefore, he changed his mind halfway through his statement, abandoning his previous doubts.

Ayue explained from the side, "Xiao Yu's flying ability has been specially enhanced by the teacher. She's very fast. It will only take her about 20 minutes to get there."

"20? So fast?"

Mito nearby, also cast a surprised glance. Twenty minutes at this distance was incredible; if it could be sustained long enough, it would be a powerful weapon in war.

He secretly kept this in mind, planning to have a good discussion with Shiro about this technique after completing the mission. If it was indeed feasible, Konoha's strength would take another big step forward!

After that, the three of them rested on the spot while waiting for Xiao Yu's next move.

They originally planned to travel a bit faster during this journey to save Minato some Chakra, but after learning about Xiao Yu's speed and the distance involved, they abandoned this idea.

How much Chakra can you save by walking for 20 minutes? It's more worthwhile to conserve your energy here and prepare for battle.

Meanwhile, after sending a message to Minato, Shiro didn't stop. As he walked towards the rocks, Shiro cautiously glanced around with the corner of his eye, concealing his identity with his mask.

Unfortunately, due to the immense scale of the battle, there were few birds around, and he didn't find any until he reached the rock.

There was no other way but to stall for time and see how things went. He couldn't stay in Akatsuki for too long. If someone in the village really asked him to be an undercover agent, all the plans he had made in the village would be completely ruined.

Therefore, he was also hoping to capture Tobi right here. Moreover, to be fair, Tobi played a significant role in Madara's plan, and losing Tobi would cause him a lot of trouble.

It wouldn't ruin his plans, nor would it cause him to panic, but he would make much bigger moves when he was carrying out certain activities, and that's when Shiro's opportunity would come.

The more he does, the lower his margin for error becomes, and the easier it is for Shiro to affect his plans.

But that's a matter for later; for now, the main priority is to buy time.

Like Tobi, Shiro sat down against a rock and began to inject Chakra into it, activating the technique within.

In a moment of distraction, Shiro found himself in a dark space, his entire body transformed into a kaleidoscope of colors.

'Is this the Magic Lantern Body? Interesting.'

Shiro could sense that although he didn't have a physical body in this form, he could still smoothly mobilize the Chakra within his body and transmit it through some indescribable channel.

Although the damage was significant, Shiro was still very interested in it. In his previous life, as a spectator, he only felt that this thing was cool and didn't think about it in depth.

Only now, after actually experiencing it, do I realize how incredible it is.

Using the faint light from the Magic Lantern Body, Shiro could see his surroundings. Just like in the original story, he had bound hands and a huge head. Shiro was standing on his right index finger.

This represents the position of the Azure Dragon.

However, Shiro also had a question: according to this timeline, Madara should still be relying on the Ten-Tails to stay alive, so he shouldn't be letting go of the Ten-Tails ' control, which creates a contradiction.

However, Shiro's information is severely lacking at the moment, so he can only make a few unreliable guesses. One is that it is indeed the Ten-Tails, which is beyond doubt, as Shiro still remembers that Chakra reaction.

However, the place where he was hanged might be on the other side, and it was well hidden, but Shiro thought that was unlikely.

It's important to know that the Rinnegan can summon the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path, and in the original story, Nagato summoned it to fight more than once. Shiro vaguely remembers that Madara was still alive at that time.

Now that Madara is already old and frail, it's unlikely he would take such a risk before the plan is fully implemented.

The second guess is that this is also Demonic Statue of the Outer Path, but it's not the same piece that Madara used to sustain his life. In other words, he may have separated a small piece to sustain himself.

This seems to be the most likely scenario to Shiro, but we still need to wait for further verification; it's too early to say anything now.

While Shiro was lost in thought, figures began to appear on the other fingers one after another. Shiro glanced at them and realized that there were only five people besides himself.

Judging from his hairstyle, Nagato, with his round eyes, hasn't created the Six Paths of Pain yet and is still in his original form. The other woman doesn't show any physical characteristics, but since she's the only woman at the moment, it can only be Konan.

Another one is Tobi, who came in around the same time as Shiro and kept talking non-stop, and Kakuzu, who kept scanning Shiro after coming in, trying to find his weakness and plotting Kakuzu sinister.

And finally, the Uchiha with blood-red eyes!

And it's Three-Tomoe pendant!

This was what surprised Shiro the most. Sharingan with Three-Tomoe, and someone who could join the Akatsuki. This meant he was at least an Elite Jonin. Logically speaking, if someone like this were missing-nin, he should be quite popular in the village.

After all, this was a great opportunity to lower the Uchiha's profile, and the Pot King" wouldn't let it pass by. Besides, he was unlikely to be a spy for the village.

Not all Uchiha could gain the trust of Konoha High Command like Itachi, who would then send them out as spies.

Furthermore, if he were an undercover agent, some of the intelligence about the Akatsuki should have been sent back long ago, instead of being ignored as it is now.

Therefore, Shiro estimated that the village probably didn't even know he existed. He was either a clansman who had been separated from his family and had faked his death during Second Shinobi World War, so the village didn't know about him.

Although he had some guesses about this, Shiro did not intend to report this information.

The relationship between the Uchiha and the village has only just begun to improve. Once this information is handed over, it will inevitably reignite tensions between the two.

That's not what Shiro wants to see; he doesn't want the relationship between the Uchiha and Konoha to continue to deteriorate.
