"Of course."
Pain said.
"In that case, I'd also like to go with Deidara and Sasori to capture the One-Tail."
Lin Guang said.
"All right, then that settles the plan to capture the One-Tail. Does anyone have any objections?"
Pain asked.
Everyone shook their heads. Pain's arrangements were quite thorough.
After the meeting, Lin Guang checked into a luxury hotel again. Thanks to Konan, none of the Akatsuki's members had any financial troubles.
Days without missions or training were pure enjoyment for Akatsuki members. Konan reimbursed all their expenses.
Even if they spent several million Ryo at once on ninja tools and training equipment, she would reimburse them without so much as a frown.
Time passed quickly. Lin Guang enjoyed a week of leisure, which seemed to pass in the blink of an eye.
That day, Uchiha Itachi came to see Lin Guang just as he was about to start practicing the Rasengan.
"Lin Guang, Sasuke has defected from Konoha."
The moment Uchiha Itachi spoke, Lin Guang knew this was a tricky matter.
"When did it happen?"
Lin Guang asked.
Uchiha Itachi looked worried. This was the first time Lin Guang had seen that expression on his face.
"Just half a day ago. The spy in Konoha rushed back to report as soon as he received the news."
Uchiha Itachi said.
"What exactly happened? Didn't anyone try to stop Sasuke?"
Lin Guang asked.
"Sasuke left Konoha last night. We can confirm that he was heading for Otogakure."
Uchiha Itachi said.
Lin Guang's expression grew solemn. Had the Cursed Seal Orochimaru planted on Sasuke finally flared up?
But even though Konoha's strength has been greatly diminished, sending a single Jonin should be enough to settle something like this, shouldn't it? What exactly are those people doing?
*Don't they know that once
