The rain stopped, and the clouds dispersed.
The sun is shining, and the air is fresh.
Upon receiving the notification, all the Jonin leading their teams rushed to the Hokage Building.
Inside the meeting room, Mito and Koharu sat in the advisor's seats, processing documents.
The Hokage Position in the middle, now empty, is deserted.
Once everyone had arrived, Mito took out the secret letter that had just been delivered from his drawer and said in a deep voice:
"A true member of Akatsuki may have appeared at the Fire Temple; the temple has been destroyed and requests for assistance."
"This letter was delivered half an hour ago."
"And twenty minutes ago, the lookout received a new letter."
" The Fire Temple... has been wiped out."
"What?!" Asuma Sarutobi exclaimed in disbelief, "What about Chiriku?! Is Chiriku alright?!"
As one of the original Twelve Ninja, Chiriku was both a mentor and a friend to Asuma.
Mito shook her head. "The letter was delivered by Master Kūsuke, one of the three abbots of the Fire Temple."
The letter said that only a few elderly people escaped the disaster because they were chanting sutras in the backyard.
"They're now asking Konoha for help—to clean up the remains and rebuild the temple."
Asuma picked up the letter on the table with a sorrowful expression, reading its contents over and over again...
Having finally accepted his father's death, Chiriku...
"I'll take some men with me; let me see him off on his final journey."
Because of the Haruma weather,
Obito, Madara, and the Akatsuki are now extremely famous in the Shinobi World.
However, there are also many sneaky people impersonating others, so none of the ninja villages can determine the specific information about this organization.
The group of Kirigakure members who left Konoha split into two small teams.
Shisui, along with Kimimaro and the others, received the latest operational instructions.
Shisui, who had participated in the Shapeshifting meeting last night, led the little ones to the underground base not far from the Bounty Station, following the map.
It wasn't as dark and damp as I had imagined; it was more like a luxurious residence hidden underground.
"That boss really knows how to enjoy himself."
Suigetsu, holding her head, was happily soaking in the hot spring in the center of the hall.
Shiro and Kimimaro walked in through the side door of the hall. "The training ground over there is also very spacious and well-equipped."
Karin adjusted her glasses and pointed to one of the hidden doors. "The master said the monster that needs to be fed should be in here."
"This Chakra sensation is a bit strange."
Shisui nodded, took out the prepared food, and pushed open the door in the direction Karin was pointing.
The little ones, also intrigued, crowded around.
After all, they were somewhat curious about something that adults called a monster.
"It really is a monster!!"
Looking at the scene before her, Suigetsu spoke in a daze.
The little ones stared in awe at the strange sight before them.
The iron cross was disassembled into five parts.
His severed feet were nailed to the ground. His hands were nailed to the ends of a cross.
The limbs were stitched with dense black threads.
Most surprisingly, the body nailed to the center of the cross appeared very weak.
But it was indeed still moving, and its eyes were shining.
When Shisui Gate of Opening and saw this scene, he was stunned for a moment.
Then, regaining his senses, he fed the prepared food into Hidan's mouth one by one.
Watching Hidan's aura slowly rise, Kimimaro asked Shisui, "Is this the gift you said you were going to prepare for Orochimaru...?"
Shisui nodded.
"Understood." Kimimaro glanced coldly at Hidan. "I will personally keep an eye on this monster."
After all, the adults had said to be careful not to let his body stick together and escape from the base.
Kimimaro naturally took Haruma's instructions to heart.
Suigetsu looked up at Shisui, "What was the second thing Boss Fu instructed?"
Shisui didn't hide anything and said directly, "My close friend told us to keep an eye on Tsunade's location and wait for Orochimaru to show himself."
"My best friend seems to be busy lately, telling us to handle it ourselves, and to bring Orochimaru back to the company for some research..."
Yugakure
A group of beautiful women with fair skin, delicate features, and excellent figures.
Holding hot food and fruit, they lined up and placed the dishes on the table one by one.
On Haruma, I enjoyed the delicious food while looking up to admire the beautiful scenery before me.
"Should we expand here next?"
Kakuzu, like a gentleman, stood ramrod straight and slowly and methodically cut the steak in front of him.
"He even claimed to believe in Jashin, but he couldn't even establish a successful business in his own hometown."
Having eaten and drunk his fill, Haruma propped his feet up on the table. "Since he's dressed up as that guy, it wouldn't be surprising if I started developing a cult."
The problem is...
Kakuzu stared at the round sign above the restaurant's entrance, his lips twitching, unsure how to begin.
The front of the round plaque
The left side has a gold ¥ symbol printed on it, and the right side has a gold $ symbol printed on it.
The reverse side features a cat waving its paw...
Hidan believes in Jashin, not cute pets!
Haruma waved her hand dismissively and said, "Who says Jashin can't be a cat?"
"Anyway, Hidan himself doesn't even know what the Jashin he's talking about looks like."
"Now that I've presented the Jashin in detail, who can say it isn't?"
"Dare to deny it? Then bring out the Jashin and let's see..."
"Or I'll send him to meet the Jashin!"
hehe,
You're the boss, you make the decisions.
Kakuzu silently turned his head away and continued cutting the steak on his plate.
"The organization is preparing to send another team into our ranks to speed up our bounty collection."
Regarding the issue of making money, Konan only informed Kakuzu.
As Haruma picked his teeth with his giant scythe, he mumbled, "It seems the branch office is facing a minor financial problem."
Which team was dispatched?
Kakuzu pondered for a moment, "The others all have missions to complete, most likely Itachi and Kisame."
"This is the only group that doesn't have any tasks for the time being."
After Kakuzu finished speaking, he felt sorry for Kisame.
Dedicated to the organization
He appeared to be four companions, but in reality, he was all alone...
"Oh?"
"The backstab team, huh..."
Haruma's eyes lit up slightly. "Once they arrive, we can go and pull off a big heist."
"The speed at which we're making money is a bit slow now."
Kakuzu nodded. "There's nothing we can do; the ninjas from Kirigakure have almost emptied the bounty lists."
"I feel like the Shinobi World is much more peaceful lately; unscrupulous merchants are practically becoming rare animals."
Can it remain rare?
The plan of harvesting every six months under Haruma has been in effect for several years.
Only those who have been exploited and exploited truly understand the blood and tears involved...
"Then let's wait here in Yugakure."
"This is a good opportunity to properly develop our brand-new heretical cult!"
Kakuzu nodded silently, not daring to question it.
The person with the bigger fist is always right.
Kakuzu to survive in this chaotic Shinobi World for so long, so his mind is naturally very clear.
The sect is fake...
It's truly bizarre...
