Led by the Nose

Hikaru was no ordinary person. His body had absorbed the God-tier Evolution Potion and completely assimilated Madara Uchiha's cells. As for White Zetsu cells, sorry, but they could not affect Hikaru in the slightest.

Trying to influence Hikaru through White Zetsu cells, let alone control him, was nothing but wishful thinking.

They had parted happily, all hoping to continue growing the Akatsuki Organization. Yet when they returned, they were filled with rage. Konan had been captured, a result Yahiko and Nagato found impossible to accept.

They regretted letting Konan persuade them to split up and act separately. If they had not separated, this would never have happened!!!

Unfortunately, it was too late for regrets. All they could do was rescue Konan and find out why she had been taken. There was a traitor within the organization!!!

Although Amegakure had always opposed them, their movements had been highly secretive and had never caused any problems. This time, they had fallen into a trap. Amegakure had set an ambush at the place Konan was going and waited for her to walk right into it. Without precise information, could Amegakure have been that clairvoyant?

They knew exactly where Konan would go and what she would do. If there had not been an internal problem, Yahiko and Nagato would never believe it.

"Any results?" Nagato suppressed his fury.

"No." Yahiko shook his head dejectedly. He had thought it over again and again, investigating constantly, but he simply could not find a target worth suspecting. Other than the three of them, everyone else was suspicious.

Yet after checking them one by one, Yahiko discovered in disappointment that none of them seemed to have the motive or opportunity.

Not many people knew the exact information. Black Zetsu became the first suspect, but he had never left.
