"Clap, clap clap!"
The dark underground room
Black Zetsu stared at the impotently enraged Obito...
I wanted to smash something to vent my frustration.
Just as the grand plan was progressing smoothly, it was repeatedly sabotaged by an enemy that appeared from nowhere!
What's even more speechless is...
The Akatsuki's all-member meeting was postponed because Kakuzu and the other three members did not show up!
Intelligence gathering should have been my responsibility.
But Nagato surprisingly assigned Konan to inquire about the whereabouts of Kakuzu other three!
This distrust and wariness were not even concealed from others; they were laid bare in the open.
That Nagato,
They even began to suspect that he and Obito to that group of unknown enemies...
This is absolutely outrageous!
After venting for a while, Obito finally calmed down.
The current situation
What if the Five Great Shinobi Villages were to join forces to Akatsuki?
The difficulty of the Tailed Beast capture plan has increased dramatically.
At this stage, the organization's chances of winning against the combined forces of the five nations are pitifully low!
Relying on those Rinnegan, he called himself a god...
Obito didn't believe this pawn could really be like a god, single-handedly taking down the Five Kage!
Especially considering that information about the Dōjutsu was announced to the entire Shinobi World by the Land of Lightning!
The most freaking thing!
He wanted to help Akatsuki resolve their current troubles, but Nagato wouldn't allow him to get involved?!
Obito was truly disgusted!
He's been scapegoated for years without saying a word.
He was wholeheartedly helping the organization develop, yet he was still suspected by the organization's apparent leader.
Screw the Eye of the Moon Plan!
Obito often thought, "Maybe I should just give up."
But when I think of Lin...
" Black Zetsu, go find Kisame yourself and see what's going on."
Having calmed down, Obito analyzed the current situation, "Even if Nagato doesn't help, we absolutely cannot let the Five Kage Summit proceed smoothly!"
Black Zetsu nodded, agreeing with the sentiment.
Let the Shinobi World join forces now...
Despite the constant influx of White Zetsu as reinforcements!
However, he couldn't reveal his strength before reviving his mother, lest he arouse Obito's suspicion.
Facing the main force of the Allied Shinobi Forces...
In the end, only Obito was left...
At most, add Kisame...
Feeling utterly exhausted, Black Zetsu nodded and sank into the ground.
The most reliable intelligence is always gathered by yourself.
Neither Black and White Zetsu nor Obito believed that Konan, that little brat, could uncover anything.
Amegakure, abandoned building.
Nagato, seeing Konan preparing to depart, said with some concern, "Why don't we have Deva Path accompany you?"
"If we encounter any danger, I can rest assured with him by my side."
Although I didn't want her to take any risks, Konan was the only person Nagato truly trusted in the organization!
If they want to obtain the real intelligence, there is no one else but Konan and Nagato.
Although the puppet can share the same line of sight, it cannot stray too far from the main body.
They dispatched a Deva Path puppet, pre-stored with Yin-Yang Release Chakra using a secret technique, so it could awaken for a few minutes at crucial moments.
Looking at the Nagato leaning against the machine, Konan's eyes flashed with heartache. "The target location provided by Sasori is in the Land of Fire."
"Manipulating the Deva Path from such a distance must be another secret technique that drains one's life force."
"Don't worry, I'll retreat immediately if there's any real danger."
Seeing the determination in Konan's eyes, Nagato didn't press the matter any further.
Before leaving, Konan Nagato reminded Nagato, "If that Masked Man comes to our door while I'm gone, remember, don't believe his lies!"
"Who knows what kind of trick they're plotting now!"
Nagato nodded. "I understand."
The Land of Water, the Kirigakure.
The Uchiha Clan was bustling with people coming and going.
Not only their own ninjas,
The office staff of the Rich Man Company, and the employees wearing Forehead Protector gold headbands, have all been crowded around the premises these past two days, busy with their work.
Even company executives like Mei Terumi and Ao work from the Uchiha Clan headquarters during their working hours!
The tallest company building in the village, however, was completely empty, with no one remaining.
The reason for this must be traced back to the day after Haruma went into seclusion.
Haruma's First Day of Seclusion
As usual, everyone was busy accepting missions and learning Ninjutsu in the secret arts room.
As a result, starting at noon the next day...
An invisible pressure emanating from the top floor slowly enveloped the entire area within a kilometer radius of the company!
Employees living near this area feel as if a huge boulder is weighing on their hearts!
Then your breathing will become rapid and difficult!
It's like accidentally trespassing into the territory of a species far beyond your own level.
Even though He didn't even glance at you...
But the deep-seated horror gradually amplified!
Especially the employees who were in the secret arts room that day, studying and learning new Ninjutsu.
Hundreds of people were halfway through Hand Seals when their Chakra surged within them...
The terrifying pressure descended...
One by one, they coughed up blood, staining an entire floor of the company building red.
Therefore, Kirigakure, with its largest area and central location, became the Uchiha Clan stronghold and was used as a temporary office.
The Uchiha Clan clan members were not only not resistant to this sudden excitement, but were actually quite happy about it.
In the past few decades in Konoha...
Not to mention the Konoha High Command, even ordinary citizens all treated the Uchiha Clan with cold indifference and extreme vigilance.
Now, in the Kirigakure, everything is harmonious.
No one looks at the Uchiha Clan with strange eyes, and many clans actively seek to befriend them!
Because in the Land of Water, it's not about who's stronger!
No matter how strong you are, you can't surpass your boss!
But besides the boss, who is the most popular person in the Land of Water?
There is only one answer.
Rich people!!!
Only if you have money
Even if it's Zabuza, he can bring the entire Gold Medal Squad to protect you on your travels!
Even the boss himself!
If you offer a high enough price, you can even hire Haruma to personally guide your cultivation.
Therefore, the Uchiha Clan, who appeared relatively wealthy, were very popular among commoner ninjas in Kirigakure.
Especially the elderly people in the Uchiha Clan recuperation area.
Even small tasks like repairing houses, finding lost cats and dogs, cleaning, and delivering takeout can offer quite substantial rewards.
It was quite lively, and the clansmen had no objections.
But Fugaku, the clan head, is now extremely annoyed!
Patriarch's Residence
Shisui looked at Fugaku with a solemn expression, "Clan Chief, please accompany me for some special training."
Fugaku's lips twitched, and he looked at Shisui with a pained expression!
Having been away from home for several years, I returned only to be harassed by that guy Yagura.
A few days later, he went on a business trip to Konoha with Mei Terumi, and upon his return, he was once again harassed by Yagura.
Just a few days ago, things finally got peaceful, but those two unlucky guys, Sasuke and Shisui, started it all again!
Sasuke to borrow money during the day, Shisui comes to spar at night!
This family has never had a moment of peace!
"Father!!"
When you mention Sasuke, Sasuke arrives.
Just finished a D-level task at the company.
Help the seafood shop owner catch 900 pounds of a specific batch of live fish from the sea.
Sasuke, soaking wet
He hadn't even had time to change his clothes before he ran up to his father's door asking for money.
