Orochimaru's mouth widened for a moment, then pressed back. His golden vertical pupils swept across Pain's face, and the awe in his eyes was gone.
Pain said in a jealous voice Ajisai slowly opened his mouth, his voice crisp and pleasant, completely lacking the intimidating power of Deva Path Pain before.
"Orochimaru, Konoha, is there any latest news there?"
Orochimaru's chin lifted. His eyes moved away from Pain's face and fell on his projected fingertips, which glowed with translucent white light in Kakkō.
"No. Uchiha Yongye is so elusive, my eyeliner, I haven't seen him in this period of time. I don't know what he is up to."
Pain's eyes were fixed on Orochimaru's face.
"Do you have a new plan to deal with Uchiha Yongye? You inherited the remnants of Danzo. That old bastard should have some tricks up his sleeve, right?"
Orochimaru's tongue stuck out again and licked the corner of his mouth.
"There are indeed some, but they are useless against Uchiha Yongye."
"As for the new plan..."
"I'm thinking about it, but not at the moment."
The projection of Pain leaned forward half an inch. Her gaze tightened, and her purple pupils shrank in Kakkō.
"My Deva Path Pain, can you help me find a way to take it back?"
Orochimaru's mouth corners immediately flattened. He shook his head, not fast, but very steadily.
"There is no way. The body was taken away by Uchiha Yongye, and no one can get it back from him."
"I'm afraid not even Tsunade can do it, let alone me."
The stone room was quiet for a moment.
The projection of Kakuzu suddenly took a step forward. His green eyes moved away from Pain's face and landed on Orochimaru's face, raising his chin slightly.
"Orochimaru, you are lying!"
Orochimaru's golden vertical pupils turned around and were fixed on Kakuzu's face.
Kakuzu continued to speak, his tone still aggressive:
"Five Rings Trading Company spread the news to the outside world, saying that as long as someone is willing to pay a high price, they can get the remains of Konoha's murderer. If the extra money is enough, he can even help completely repair the body."
"Even I know this news. If you are still at Konoha, don't you know?"
"Orochimaru, you are unfaithful!"
The projection of Pain suddenly turned around. Konan's wings spread out half an inch at the same moment, and a slight rustling sound came from the edge of the paper. Their eyes stopped on Kakuzu's face for a moment, and then turned to Orochimaru at the same time.
The same fierce light surged in those two pairs of eyes, like sparks awakened by the wind from the ashes.
Orochimaru's body slightly leaned back half an inch in the projection. His golden vertical pupils swept from Konan's face to Pain's face, and then from Pain's face back to Konan's face. His pupils shrank into a thin line in the light of the torch.
"Pain, I did lie to you!"
"Uchiha Yongye is mine. Your Rinnegan will also be mine."
"You are a waste, you are not worthy of controlling such an excellent divine object!"
As he finished speaking, his Chakra projection was like a puff of blown smoke, starting from the edge and collapsing inward. First his feet, then his calves, then his waist and abdomen, chest, and finally his head. The golden vertical pupils lit up in the air for a moment, and then went out.
The flames of the torch danced on the wall, flickering the fierce light that had not subsided on the faces of Konan and Pain.
Konan's wings slowly folded in. The edges of the paper pages rubbed against the air, making a fine rustling sound.
Hidan's laughter exploded in the stone chamber, bouncing off the stalactite walls and forming a harsh echo.
He leaned forward and backward, patted his thigh with his right hand, and held the Bloody Triple-Bladed Scythe with his left hand. The tip of the sickle blade drew an arc in the Kakkō.
"Hahaha, there's a traitor! Let me kill him!"
His chin was raised, his brown eyes were widened, and there was a feverish excitement in his pupils.
"Lord Jashin loves traitors the most! Their blood is the sweetest! Their souls are the most delicious!"
Kakuzu reprimanded loudly:
"Hidan, shut up."
"It's not your turn yet as a newcomer."
The scorpion's projection moved forward half an inch. Hiruko's puppet shell glowed with dark red luster in Kakkō, and the light in the eye hole flickered.
"Orochimaru and I have some personal grudges. Let me do it. I just need a snake puppet."
Hidan turned around suddenly and shouted, "This is not okay! I joined you just to..."
Konan interrupted strongly.
"Stop fighting!"
"Let's go to Konoha together. When the time comes, we will act according to the situation."
"Orochimaru is just a small problem, our enemy is Five Great Nations!"
"Scorpion, Hidan, you leave first. Kakuzu, you stay."
After the two people's projections disappeared, Konan turned his head and his eyes fell on Kakuzu's face.
"In terms of spending money to redeem the body, do you think Uchiha Yongye is deliberately fishing?"
Kakuzu thought for a moment and then slowly spoke.
"Not quite."
"From the information collected, Uchiha Yongye likes money very much and loves to spend money. He offered a reward of 100 million to Hiruzen Sarutobi."
"And redeeming the body can be done through an intermediary. If he wants to fish, it won't be of much use."
Konan pursed her lips for a moment, then let go. To her, Deva Path Pain was not just one of Six Paths of Pain, but also a friend and lover Yahiko, and she had to get it back.
"How much do you think it will cost?"
Kakuzu's brows raised, then fell back to their original positions.
"No matter how much it is, we will definitely not be able to afford it."
"Pain bulldozed Konoha. There must be a lot of people interested in him."
"If we want to come back, we can only think of other ways."
Konan was silent, thinking of the massive amount of Explosive Tag he had hoarded. It was prepared to deal with Masked Man Madara Uchiha, but it seemed that he was still far away from falling out with Masked Man.
Maybe, it can be appropriated temporarily?
But if you sell a lot of them at once, they will definitely be worthless, unless you can convince Uchiha Yongye that you are willing to charge Explosive Tag the original price.
Konan weighed the left and right in his mind and fell into a tangle.
Mount Myōboku's sky is brighter than the outside world.
The mountain wall is gray-white Rock, and the surface is covered with a thin layer of water vapor, glowing with a moist silver light in the sunlight. The sound of the waterfall comes from a distance, continuous, like a layer of white noise spreading at the bottom of the air.
Sage Fukasaku squatted on a protruding piece of Rock, pressing its front paws on the surface of Rock, and its beard swayed gently in the airflow.
Behind him stood two children.
Sasuke Uchiha stood on the left side, with his back straight, his chin slightly retracted, and the corners of his mouth turned down.
Naruto Uzumaki stood on the right side. His body's center of gravity moved back and forth between his feet twice, and then stabilized.
Both of them had strong curiosity on their faces.
Mount Myōboku is one of the Shinobi World Three Great Sage Lands, and its position in Konoha is even more important.
Jiraiya, one of Sannin, and Minato Namikaze, one of Yellow Flash, all once practiced here.
Sage Fukasaku jumped down Rock, and his front paws landed on the green Stone Slab in front of the stone door. He turned around, raised his chin, and tilted towards the direction of the stone door.
"Come in, Great Toad Sage is waiting for you."
