Kisame The excitement on his face completely disappeared. He stared at Zetsu and his tone became unusually serious.
"If the intelligence is correct, this ability is more troublesome than simply defending Ninjutsu. The defense can be broken, but Intangibility makes the attack lose its target."
Xie said coldly, "Any technique has flaws."
"Yes."
There is absolutely no denying it.
"But it's hard to catch the flaw. The moment he materializes and takes action, he can indeed attack, but he still has Idaten. As soon as you seize the opportunity, he has already approached, taken action, and left. Neither Raikage nor Eight-Tails can stably catch him, let alone Ninja."
Kakuzu finally stopped mentioning the price of Sharingan.
Money is important.
But if you can't get the money and you still have to pay for it with your life, it doesn't make sense.
Pain was silent for a moment. Rinnegan had no emotional fluctuations, but it made the whole space feel depressed.
"Originally, I considered that if the conflicts between the old senior leaders of Uchiha Ren and Konoha deepened, we might try to contact them."
Konan looked at him.
Pain continued, "There is no need now. With the power to suppress Tailed Beasts, and this almost unsolvable Intangibility ability, he is not suitable to be recruited, nor is he suitable to become an enemy at this time."
He glanced at everyone, his voice cold and hard.
"Xiao will not take the initiative to provoke Uchiha Ren for the time being. Any actions involving Konoha and Uchiha must be re-evaluated, and no unauthorized actions are allowed."
Kakuzu did not refute.
Jūzō didn't speak any more.
Although Xie was still disdainful, he did not deny Pain's order on the spot.
Only Orochimaru stood quietly in the shadows, the smile on his face unchanged.
But his greed could no longer be suppressed.
Mangekyō Sharingan.
Idaten.
Intangibility.
And Uchiha Ren's body is still stable even though it has withstood various eye spells.
To Orochimaru, these things were more tempting than the immortal Secret Technique. He did not reveal anything in front of Pain, but kept all the information deep in his heart, like a poisonous snake recording the scent of its prey into its bones.
The party ended soon.
After Kakuzu left the tower, he walked alone to the road outside Rain Curtain. Next, he went to the dark market to take on several bounty tasks. After Kumogakure was defeated, the price of information about Uchiha on the black market skyrocketed, but there were fewer people who actually dared to take on related tasks.
He doesn't plan to touch Uchiha Ren now.
But money has to be made.
Just as he was walking across a dilapidated stone bridge, a familiar voice came from under the bridge.
"Kakuzu."
Kakuzu stopped and turned his green pupils coldly.
Orochimaru walked out of the shadows with an uncomfortable smile on his face.
"Are you waiting for me?"
"So to speak."
Kakuzu stared at him.
"If it's something unpaid, don't waste my time."
Orochimaru chuckled.
"Of course there is a reward, and it is a reward that you are interested in."
Kakuzu said nothing.
Orochimaru took a few steps closer and lowered his voice.
"I covet Sharingan, and you covet the black market price of Sharingan. Since we have the same goals, we might as well cooperate once."
Kakuzu sneered.
"Pain just said not to provoke Uchiha Ren."
"I said Sharingan, not Uchiha Ren."
Orochimaru spoke calmly.
"Konoha is very big, and there are many people in the Uchiha clan. Mangekyo can't be obtained, but Three Tomoe is also valuable. As long as you plan properly, you can sneak into Konoha and steal a few pairs of eyes. There is no chance at all."
Kakuzu was not moved by him.
"With just the two of us, it's not difficult to break through Konoha's defense. What's difficult is evacuating."
His voice became colder and colder.
"Konoha now has Tsunade, Jiraiya are also in the village, Uchiha District has Ren, Shisui, Fugaku, Itachi and Mangekyo. If our actions are exposed, we will be surrounded by Konoha Ninja and Uchiha at the same time."
Orochimaru smiled.
"You've thought it through very carefully."
Kakuzu looked at him.
"So, you'd better not just bring nonsense."
"Of course not."
Orochimaru raised his head, his golden vertical pupils looking particularly cold in the shadow.
"I have won over Scorpion."
Kakuzu After hearing this, the worries in his heart finally dissipated. Scorpion is good at puppet group battles. Even if it is surrounded by a large number of Konoha Ninja, it can still fight and retreat calmly.
When Scorpio actually stood in front of Orochimaru and Kakuzu, the puppet mechanism under Akatsuki cloak was still making a slight noise.
He glanced at Orochimaru, then at Kakuzu, his voice didn't fluctuate much.
"You two want me to join the team. You should make it clear what you are going to get from Konoha."
Kakuzu said coldly, "Money."
Scorpion snorted.
"The reward for ordinary Sharingan is not worth the risk of you being targeted by Uchiha Ren."
Kakuzu did not deny it.
Orochimaru laughed, with undisguised greed in his golden vertical pupils.
"Scorpion, you should have guessed that what I am really interested in is never the ordinary Three Tomoe."
Scorpion was silent for a moment, and his tone finally changed.
"Mangekyō Sharingan."
Kakuzu's fingers moved slightly in his sleeves.
"Uchiha now has four pairs of Mangekyo, Ren can't get it, Fugaku is hard to touch, Shisui is too wary, and the youngest Itachi Uchiha is left."
Orochimaru licked the corners of his lips, his voice hoarse.
"Itachi-kun is young, but he has already activated Mangekyo. With such a body and such eyes, if you can get it, the value is far higher than a few pairs of ordinary Sharingan."
Xie said coldly, "You want to take his body?"
"If the opportunity is right, of course." Orochimaru didn't hide it at all, "If the opportunity is not right, it's not like leaving empty-handed if you bring back a pair of eyes."
Kakuzu looked at him.
"Konoha now has Tsunade, Jiraiya, and Uchiha Ren. You'd better not make your plan too easy."
"That's why I came to you." Orochimaru's voice was very calm, "It is meaningless and unrealistic to defeat Ren head-on. What we need to do is to sneak in, seize, and evacuate, not to go to war with Uchiha."
Scorpion's puppet tail blade poked out a little from under his robe, then slowly retracted it.
"What if Ren takes action?"
Orochimaru's smile continues.
"Then withdraw."
Kakuzu snorted coldly.
"I have Earth Grudge Fear. As long as you don't destroy all my hearts at once, it's not that easy to kill me."
Xie said calmly, "My body is no longer ordinary flesh and blood, and the puppet army formation is enough to hold back a large number of ninjas. Konoha Even if they surround me, they may not be able to stop me from leaving."
Orochimaru also laughed softly.
"I know more about escaping from Konoha than you do."
The three of them looked at each other, and no one said anything to back down.
Of course they know that Uchiha Ren is dangerous, but the more dangerous it is, the greater the temptation of Mangekyō Sharingan.
Especially Itachi Uchiha.
Eleven-year-old Mangekyo.
These few words alone were enough to make Orochimaru unable to look away, and also enough for Kakuzu to see the prices on the black market that could drive people crazy.
Xion was silent for a moment and finally spoke.
"Then go to Konoha."
Orochimaru smiled.
Kakuzu also had no objection.
The three of them all consider themselves to be very capable of saving their lives. Even if they really collide with Ren, they may not be able to escape unscathed as long as they are not willing to fight.
