Doodles on the application form

Wu Chiwu blinked twice, and the curve of his lips was quite handsome.

The ability to locate Kisame Hoshigaki and Uchiha Itachi was undoubtedly due to their Six Eyes.

No matter where you go, you can't escape his perception.

"Let's leave that aside for now."

"The important thing is when we get there?"

He seamlessly joined the two people's small group.

Kisame Hoshigaki stared at his affable demeanor, which made him act like he was on his own allies, and his lips twitched violently several times.

How can this person act so informally, as if they're part of the family?

Could he really be a ninja?

That laugh was way too dazzling.

"You're not even a full member of Akatsuki yet." Kisame Hoshigaki's tone was very even.

"Oh, I didn't expect you to be so serious?" Wu Chiwu stared at him, feigning surprise.

"That's much faster."

"Otherwise, why did you stop and wait for me?"

The wind ruffled his white hair, and his black robe tumbled in the air.

"Hmph." Kisame Hoshigaki sneered.

Even if you were to join Akatsuki, you'd only be able to start as a backup.

Alternative? Wu Chiwu blinked twice upon hearing this.

Someone as talented as me can only be a backup option?

"It seems your Akatsuki has truly come to an end."

The moment Wu Chiwu those words, Kisame Hoshigaki felt a fire ignite in his chest.

There are a limited number of official members, unless you...

"Kisame, we're almost there." Uchiha Itachi interrupted.

Kisame was stunned for a moment, then immediately shut his mouth tightly.

Is this person toxic?

How did I end up talking to him?

That's really weird.

In the blink of an eye, Wu Chiwu lost two easy-going people—a partner who would spill everything out, and a walking encyclopedia who could answer any question.

His gaze swept slowly over the Uchiha next to him.

Is this kid deliberately keeping his distance from me?

Is it worth it?

None of the questions were about anything life-threatening.

Besides, with such a kind heart, what trouble could I possibly cause?

Wu Chiwu pondered this without batting an eye.

Before long, they disappeared into a well-hidden place.

This is a temporary base for the Akatsuki, where members occasionally meet up.

They have plenty of dens like this; even if they're exposed, it won't cause them any serious damage.

We were lucky today; it was one of the rare occasions when all the Akatsuki members were gathered together.

Wu Chiwu had barely stepped inside when he was surrounded and scrutinized by a group of people, including Deidara.

"Is this the new candidate?"

It looks rather ordinary.

The style of the black robe is similar to Xiao's clothes, so there's nothing out of place about it from here.

But then there's that bandage...

That's so unartistic.

How could the organization let someone like this get involved?

Deidara, standing to the side, frowned as he looked at Wu Chiwu's outfit.

Wu Chiwu was being stared at by a group of people, but he didn't show the slightest discomfort.

So this is the Akatsuki.

The level of vigilance is even higher than at Orochimaru's place.

Just as he was resting his chin on his hand and looking around, someone quickly slipped a piece of paper into his hand.

Um?

What is this thing?

Wu Chiwu blinked as he took the order, then looked down and began to read it.

Akatsuki Application Form?

Do I need to fill out a form to join Xiao?

Why make it so formal?

Wu Chiwu had a Three-Color Dango that seemed to have appeared out of nowhere dangling from his mouth, his gaze remaining fixed on the paper in his hand.

"Um, his name Wu Chiwu..."

Age, um...

Height and weight?

Do we have to fill this out? Aren't missing-nin supposed to be pretty easygoing? Why are they checking so thoroughly?

"And hobbies?"

Wu Chiwu rested his chin on his hand, stared intently at the line of text for a while, and then unconsciously wrote it down.

"Hmm, create one that only..."

The world of macarons...??

"Hmm? Hmm?"

Wu Chiwu stared suspiciously at the line of words that had just appeared from his pen, his Azure eyes widening slightly.

"No, no, we've got the wrong channel."

He picked up his pen and erased the previous line, replacing it with a new one.

The plan for building a peaceful world, first...

Finally, Wu Chiwu handed in his meticulously written essay with both hands.

His head of white, tousled hair stood on end proudly, and his Azure eyes were brimming with laughter.

Yeah, I'm so talented.

If I write it this way, I might get promoted despite not meeting the usual requirements, and then I can pick any teammate I want...

Thinking of this, Wu Chiwu's lips curled into a brilliant smile.

"Have you finished filling it out?" Konan looked at Wu Chiwu, who was writing non-stop, with a suspicious expression.

"Take it."

This is truly the first time I've encountered someone filling out this document so seriously.

Is he certain he's a missing-nin?

A moment later, Konan took the form from her hand and glanced at it.

The first step in the peacebuilding plan is to eliminate the unequal rules between ninjas and daimyo...

???

Uh-huh?

What kind of nonsense is this?

How can this person have such a wild imagination?

That's really something...

Konan was taken aback, and a hint of surprise flashed across her face.

She glanced at the smiling white-haired ninja with a complicated expression, shook her head, and silently put the form away.

That night, Obito Uchiha obtained Wu Chiwu's application form.

He didn't want to get involved in this mess in the first place.

However, considering that this person was recommended by Black Zetsu suddenly, he became more curious.

Black Zetsu has never pushed anyone before.

What exactly is different about this ninja that made Black Zetsu specifically recommend him?

Don't talk about talent or potential; Obito doesn't believe in that stuff.

Could this ninja also be connected to Madara Uchiha?

Or was it just pure luck?

Because of these concerns, Obito Uchiha still managed to get the application form from Konan...

He planned to see if he could find any traces on it.

Obito Uchiha's gaze swept lightly over the watch.

Before long, his gaze froze.

???

Create a world where only Kakashi exists...

Um?

Uh-huh???

Although one row on the table has been crossed out.

But by following the stroke order, he easily deduced the original appearance of the text.

The moment Obito Sharingan almost popped out.

However, he quickly composed himself.

What on earth is going on here?

I must have misread it just now.

Obito Uchiha casually tossed the application form aside, his face immediately straightening up, no longer willing to do something so incredibly stupid.

It was a complete waste of time.

At the same time.

"Oops, I think I made a few typos earlier."

"It's nothing serious, anyway, it's unchecked."

Wu Chiwu rested his chin on his hand, deep in thought.

Meanwhile, Jiraiya and Naruto also found Sannin, one of the Tsunade.

Although they encountered many difficulties along the way, including Orochimaru's sudden appearance, they managed to overcome them all and resumed their journey back to Konoha.

Konoha, Hokage Building.

"That's all the information I've gathered about the Akatsuki," Jiraiya said, slowing his speech.

Tsunade, who had just taken her seat Fifth Hokage, listened attentively with her hands resting on the edge of the table.

"Okay," she said, her face tense.

"I never expected such an organization to exist in the Shinobi World."

By the way, is this all the information we found about the white-haired ninja, Wu Chiwu?

Jiraiya thought for a moment, then slowly began to speak.

"This person is very good at hiding his true intentions."

All we know is that he came to Konoha once during the Chunin Ninja Exams, but his purpose remains unclear.

"Afterwards, he left with Orochimaru, so they probably made contact."

"However, according to the newly gathered intelligence, he has lost contact with Orochimaru's Otogakure, and we still don't know his whereabouts."

"Oh, I remember now." Jiraiya paused for a moment, then continued.

"When we ran into the Akatsuki before, I heard them say they wanted to Wu Chiwu into Akatsuki."

Whether it will be successful is still uncertain.

Right now, there's nothing that Akatsuki can't accomplish.

The next time you run into him, he'll probably be using the name Xiao.

"Is that so? It's like a storm is brewing!" Tsunade's tone was very somber.

"Looks like this guy's a tough one."

Who exactly is this person who's involved with so many dangerous individuals?
