The red Masked Man is exactly Yubi.
After he entered Land of Rain, he immediately started looking for Akatsuki.
In addition to relying on information from the village, he spent a long time traveling around Land of Rain in order to make money.
Therefore, it is not difficult to find the core areas and battlefields where Akatsuki is currently active.
He has been watching the battle between Xiao and Amegakure.
In addition to observing Yahiko, Nagato and other characters, we are also searching for another monitor."
White Zetsu!
Just as he expected, White Zetsu was always hiding in the dark, observing Akatsuki's every move.
The man was hiding in the woods not far away.
In order not to reveal his identity, Yubi can only temporarily disguise himself.
The boss who killed Amegakure also used ordinary methods and did not use some of his signature "abilities."
Throughout the rise of Akatsuki, part of the time overlapped with Third Shinobi World War.
In addition, Yubi had previously focused all his energy on developing the village, so he did not have much time to pay attention to the changes on Land of Rain's side, nor did he participate in the content line of "Xiao".
Therefore, Yubi is not very clear about the specific details and experience of Xiao's development.
He appears now just to prevent Akatsuki from hindering Sunagakure's plan.
Whoosh!
The Kunai in Yahiko's hand shot out immediately.
Yubi easily reached out and caught it.
This made Yahiko's expression become a little more solemn.
Swish swish swish.
Subsequently, Akatsuki members headed by Konan and Nagato immediately stepped forward to protect the injured Yahiko and stared at Yubi warily.
At the scene, the surviving Amegakure saw the leader dead and immediately fled away.
Yubi's figure moved and disappeared from the sight of Konan and others.
They saw that the mysterious figure was extremely fast - like a ghost, he was walking next to Amegakure one after another in an instant. Wherever he passed, he directly killed the target with the tyrannical Taijutsu.
The terrifying body strength and Chakra fluctuations made everyone afraid to act rashly for a while.
After all, they had just experienced a big battle and their condition was damaged.
Bang!
When Yubi attacked a Amegakure, the latter wanted to resist, but he just swept away.
The name Amegakure suddenly shot into the forest in a straight parabola, and as the body flew up, a clear sound of bone cracking could be heard.
Although it is difficult for Yubi to use the other abilities of Blood Release, it only makes the red scales jump to improve the physical condition. It is difficult for outsiders to see it--
Although he has been very busy with his affairs in the past few years and has almost no extra time to spend on tempering his body, he will polish his body whenever he has time.
I have also been focusing on breathing and cellular level training.
In addition, the growth of the body brings about the increase in passive values - relying only on the Blood Release of red scale leaping, the power of his Taijutsu is beyond what ordinary ninjas can withstand.
Kicking Amegakure away, Yubi slowly lowered his right leg.
Turn around slowly.
Behind him are the corpses of Amegakure in different forms of death.
This makes Yahiko and others feel like they are facing a formidable enemy.
"Who are you?"
Yahiko noticed something strange, signaled Konan and the others not to be too nervous, and asked.
The mysterious man did not attack the Akatsuki members scattered around.
Moreover - the two sentences the mysterious man said when he opened his mouth were also very thought-provoking.
Obviously, there is no malicious intent towards the organization.
However, this mysterious man is very strong.
Not so strong!
"I'm just a passerby who wants to help you."
Yubi smiled.
"Speaking of which, Akatsuki, do you want anyone else? Let me recommend myself, can I join you?" Yubi changed the subject, spread his hands, and shrugged his shoulders.
His words left Yahiko stunned.
"Sorry, if you kill these Amegakure just to join us - I'm afraid I can't agree to it."
Yahiko said.
He could tell that this mysterious man was not ordinary ruthless.
Even his nature is no longer cruel, but an attitude of indifference to life.
This kind of strong man, no matter how powerful he is, is not the same as Akatsuki.
"That's it."
Yubi was not surprised at all. He scratched his head and said, "It's a bit regretful--"
There was a hint of ridicule in his tone.
"As expected of Jiraiya's disciples. Although they didn't learn any special skills from Jiraiya, their potential as ninjas has been developed to the maximum. Among the three people, the one who poses the greatest threat is undoubtedly Nagato.
Yubi's eyes scanned the Yahiko trio, observing the movements of Chakra in their bodies.
"I'm afraid there's no way to kill him without revealing his strength."
Yubi's heart moved.
Through his observations, including just reviewing the battle and data, it can basically be judged that the current strength of the trio is at the Elite Jōnin level.
The biggest reason why I can reach this level is thanks to the training of Jiraiya.
Secondly, there is a lot of combat practice and hardship in Land of Rain.
The war intensity of Land of Rain is far greater than that of Jonin World War. In other words, on this kind of map, the experience that the Yahiko trio can gain should be very limited, and their growth rate will not be fast.
But I can't stand it. The frequency of battles Akatsuki experienced is exaggerated, and may even exceed the experience of ordinary village ninjas in the Shinobi World war--
In some ways, this allows them to compensate for quality with quantity.
In addition, its potential has been developed to perfection, and it can grow rapidly even in low-level maps.
In addition, after Xiao Neng has developed to this day, under the strong pressure of Amegakure, their initial environment must have been extremely harsh - the elements of danger and misery further tempered the trio's minds.
The current Akatsuki is already in the "late stage" when Yahiko was in power - it is natural for the three of them to be able to achieve this level.
"White Zetsu's ability is too tricky. It's almost impossible to block the message. I can't touch him yet, otherwise it will make Madara alert."
Yubi glanced at the direction of the woods from the corner of his eye, thinking in his heart.
What he can be sure of is that so far, even if Sunagakure is reborn - White Zetsu is not secretly monitoring the village.
It seems that Sunagakure is not important in Madara's plan.
The direction the other party is staring at should be Konoha, Akatsuki and Kirigakure.
Of course, it is also possible that Sunagakure has changed so much that Madara is a little scared."
Or they are afraid of being exposed.
But no matter what the reason - it is definitely beneficial to keep Madara's attention away from Sunagakure.
"Although the strength is Elite Jōnin, due to the special characteristics of the three of them, it cannot be measured by ordinary Elite Jōnin - In addition, there are still some Akatsuki manpower. If you want to kill Nagato first, I'm afraid it won't be possible without using some abilities -"
Yubi calculated it carefully.
Exposing his strength and killing Nagato means that Madara will definitely come to him next.
Not to mention that he ruined the opponent's plan, just Nagato and Rinnegan, Madara would not be able to let it fall into his hands.
Yubi's mind quickly ran through several thoughts.
"Let me introduce myself, my name is Ye - no harm."
Yubi came a little closer, smiled and raised his hands, "Since I can't join Akatsuki, I want to do a business with you."
"Business?"
Yahiko has calmed down, "What business?"
"I have a sum of Sunagakure medicine on hand. I wonder if you are interested?"
Yubi said.
