In a dark and damp cave
Several phantoms appeared on several huge stone pillars.
Kisame Hoshigaki was the first to react and looked at the members around him.
Scorpion, Deidara, Kakuzu, Zetsu, the leader and himself.
Compared with the past, the cave they often used for meetings seemed a little empty.
"Hidan and Konan didn't come..." Kisame Hoshigaki narrowed his eyes slightly. He knew that the leader led people to intercept and kill Itachi himself.
But Lord Madara personally convinced Kisame at that time that in a world without any falsehood in the future, all dead people can be resurrected, and Itachi's sacrifice is necessary for the success of the beautiful new world.
Therefore, Kisame acquiesced, on the condition that he would not take action.
But things seemed to fail, and Mr. Itachi was rescued by Second Hokage of Konoha.
"Mr. Itachi, I hope you can live well..." Kisame murmured.
Kisame respects Uchiha Itachi very much, even though he is old enough to be Itachi's father. Itachi and him have the same painful past, but Itachi's thoughts are much higher than his. Kisame is willing to be impressed by Itachi's personality.
If Mr. Itachi refuses to save him until his death, I am afraid that only Lord Madara can order him.
Looking at Pain standing at the top, a trace of sadness flashed in Kisame Hoshigaki's eyes.
Soon, everyone from Akatsuki arrived.
Deva Path glanced sideways, frowned, and asked, "Hidan Why didn't that guy come?"
"I forgot when I retreated." Kakuzu explained without any guilt.
At that time, he saw that Tobirama Senju actually used Hashirama Senju's signature Wood Release secret technique, which reminded him of not so good memories. He couldn't care less about Hidan being kicked away by Tobirama Senju.
"Forget it, leave him alone for now." Deva Path sighed, and then ordered:
"Now, the organization's fund accumulation is almost enough, and Xiao's plan can begin the final stage."
"Ah, are you collecting Tailed Beasts? We've finally reached this point!" Deidara became excited.
"The combat supplies needed to organize the operation, including Scorpion's puppet equipment, Deidara's Explosive Clay, and various weapon consumables, have almost been purchased." Kakuzu's two green eyes looked at Deva Path, who was at the head.
"Very good, Jue, now it's up to you to report on the Jinchuriki information collected." Deva Path glanced at the pitcher plant that had been silent.
After receiving the signal, Jue slowly spoke, "Five-Tails Jinchuriki Han of Iwagakure recently left Iwagakure. His traces were discovered by me outside Land of Earth. Now is the best time to capture him. Han's special armor can create steam and he is good at Taijutsu."
After the report, everyone had different reactions.
"This guy, I heard that he has a good relationship with the old man..." Deidara lowered his head and murmured to himself.
"Create steam?" Scorpion became interested.
After listening, Deva Path Pain slowly spoke, "Since Hidan's current whereabouts are unknown, and Kisame currently has no partner, Kakuzu, you and Kisame should team up to take charge of this arrest operation."
"Oh? Tailless Tailed Beast, I hope he can be my partner."
Kakuzu glanced at Kisame Hoshigaki, his tone unkind.
Before he met the unkillable monster Hidan, several of his former partners were killed by him and turned into money at a money exchange.
Feeling Kakuzu's prying eyes, Kisame Hoshigaki glanced sideways and fired back in the same way. "I hope you, who has always boasted about fighting against First Hokage, won't hold me back."
"You!" Kakuzu was about to have an attack. The last thing he wanted anyone to mention right now was the matter of fighting First Hokage.
Deidara, this big mouth, has spread this matter throughout the organization, making him lose face.
"Stop arguing, it's time for you two to take action!"
Pain said one last word coldly, and the figure gradually disappeared.
"Hey, Master Kakuzu, I didn't mean it." Deidara smiled and faded away.
The remaining people also left one by one.
Only Jue was left present. Seeing that no one was around, he let out a strange laugh.
Land of Earth
A rough voice came from a somewhat secluded path.
"Ōnoki This old man is really just going out for a walk in the village. He had to let me grind him for so long before he agreed."
He was wearing weird red armor, a bamboo hat, and even a mask on his face. Only two golden-purple pupils were exposed from his whole body.
It is Five-Tails Jinchuriki of Iwagakure, Han.
He was a little tired of staying in the village, and after teasing Ōnoki to make him impatient, he finally got a half-month leave from the village.
"There seems to be a village ahead, let's go and have a rest." Looking at a small village not far away, he felt a little tired and planned to go and have a rest.
However, as he gradually approached the village, Han felt something was wrong, and his pace became faster and faster.
--
In an open space at the entrance of the village, dozens of villagers knelt in a circle.
From time to time, a burst of ferocious laughter came from inside, mixed with a woman's cry.
"Dad! Mom!"
A girl dressed in coarse linen knelt on the ground, crying to her parents who had lost their breath.
The villagers who were watching were kneeling on the ground. Seeing this scene, they were just angry and dared not speak.
Just because the person who did such a thing was a ninja-sama.
"Don't go too far!" A young man couldn't stand it anymore and stood up and roared.
What responded to him was an extremely sharp Kunai and blood spurting from his head.
"Stupid kid, you still want a hero to save a beauty? Hahahahahaha..." After taking back the bloody Kunai and wiping it on his body, the arrogant bald man said with a ferocious smile.
The men behind him all cheered for the bald man.
Seeing the young boy die, the villagers kneeling on the ground just silently buried their heads as low as possible, even the boy's parents did the same.
Just because Bald Head is a famous wandering ninja around here, Black Sickle.
Relying on his good luck in picking up a chakra refining scroll that had been abandoned by someone, he recruited a few younger brothers who were also gangsters to cause trouble in this area.
Unexpectedly, it was their village's turn today.
"What a bunch of trash, poor devils."
Black Sickle curled his lips, this group of villagers could not even raise one hundred thousand taels per village.
You know, his rule is that he must grab one hundred thousand taels for one vote. If he hands over one hundred thousand taels, he will not visit that village again within the next year. But if he cannot hand over the one hundred thousand taels, he will kill everyone.
"Ryuji, Sanpei, you two come here." After explaining to the two younger brothers behind him, Black Sickle turned around with a ferocious smile and looked at a group of villagers kneeling on the ground.
"Kill them all!"
Under the disbelieving gazes of all the villagers, Kunai in Black Sickle's hand directly cut off the head of the person closest to him!
"Run!"
After a commotion, they stopped kneeling, turned around and fled in all directions.
Why not resist? Because, even if Black Sickle is just a trash ninja who is not even Genin, he is not something ordinary people can contend with. He can easily kill a strong man, as evidenced by the father of the little girl who fell on the ground.
"Hey, where are you running?" In front, a few Black Sickle boys blocked the way.
They are not ordinary people, they all possess chakra to a greater or lesser extent.
Soon, under the influence of several powerful ninjas, each villager fell into a pool of blood.
After a while, the only sound left at the originally noisy entrance to the village was the cry of the little girl.
"Kid, why are you crying? I will send you to see your damn parents right away, hahahahaha!"
Black Sickle grabbed the crying girl, and Kunai with a curled blade in his hand dripped a drop of blood on the girl's face.
"Boss! Mighty!" shouted the four younger brothers beside him.
It's so wonderful to have the power to control other people's life and death! Black Sickle narrowed his eyes slightly. If he didn't have that chakra refining technique, I'm afraid he would be no different from these villagers, right?
"Kid, go to hell!" The Kunai in his hand stabbed the girl's neck hard.
At this time, a puff of steam suddenly appeared in front of Black Sickle's eyes.
The next second, his head exploded like a broken watermelon.
"Damn you bastard!" Han picked up the frightened girl, looked at the surrounding scene, and growled through gritted teeth.
The next moment, a figure like a gust of wind appeared in front of the four fleeing boys and directly broke all their limbs.
