"Lord Fukasaku, Lord Katsuyu."
Shizune greeted them respectfully and handed over the two scrolls.
Summoning spirit beasts costs money...
This is so outrageous...
If Tsunade -up beforehand, Shizune's expression would probably have been completely frozen in shock.
Although they felt embarrassed, the rules set by Haruma were not to be disobeyed by the spirit beasts of the two holy lands.
Feigning nonchalance, the two beasts took the scroll and placed it behind their backs.
After Katsuyu and confirming the number was correct, the Tsunade nodded to Tsunade and returned directly to the Summoning World.
"Boss?"
Jiraiya looked at Fukasaku the Toad with suspicion, thinking he might have some new information to share.
"Cough cough..."
Fukasaku coughed lightly and pointed at Konan, "This girl hasn't paid her accommodation fee yet."
Jiraiya: "..."
Konan: "..."
Jiraiya's lips twitched as he reached into his pocket, a pained expression on his face.
Although he earned a lot from writing books, his expenses for researching were equally high!
"Knock knock knock,"
"Enter."
As Fukasaku up his earnings, an Anbu Ninja knocked on the door and entered.
" Lord Hokage."
Anbu handed over a document and quietly reported, "News has arrived from the Land of Lightning: the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki has been taken away by Uchiha Itachi of the Akatsuki!"
" The Fourth Raikage A, has once again requested Five Kage Summit."
Upon hearing this news, everyone in the room paled.
With the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki captured, now it's just the Three-Tails from Kirigakure and that Naruto!
Tsunade frowned as she took the document, her expression growing increasingly grim as she read it.
Besides Naruto's safety, the person who did the attack was none other than Uchiha Itachi...
A spy planted by Third...
How credible is the information Jiraiya obtained from Uchiha Haruma?
"Where are the two advisors?"
Tsunade to look at Shikaku.
Since returning yesterday evening, Tsunade has made some other arrangements besides fighting.
"They're all at the family's residence; we've already assigned people to monitor them."
Shikaku responded softly.
"Oh, right."
Jiraiya slapped his forehead and pulled two portraits from his pocket. " Konan, didn't you infiltrate Kirigakure before? Did you find any information about these two?"
The portraits of Shisui Uchiha and Haruma are incredibly lifelike.
"Especially him," Jiraiya said, emphasizing Haruma's portrait, " Uchiha Haruma, have you gathered any information about him?"
Shisui was alright, Jiraiya was someone I knew a little about.
Several years ago, when the Uchiha Clan was still in Konoha, Shisui was already a renowned genius!
But on Haruma...
Last night, Jiraiya even went back to look at the information about Haruma during his time in Konoha, including the information from the Ninja Academy and the Mission Hall. Haruta was a complete failure who hadn't even completed a B-rank mission...
After a few years away, this extreme reversal has occurred.
Extremely bizarre, extremely mysterious.
Before Konan could speak, Fukasaku, who had just finished Fukasaku up the accommodation fees, looked up curiously before leaving.
"Cough, cough, cough!!"
With just that curious glance, Fukasaku covered his mouth and nearly coughed up his guts.
When Haruma rode Manda to Mount Myōboku, he didn't disguise himself at all!
Fukasaku Tsunade and Jiraiya were about to ask about Fukasaku's sudden strange behavior, only wisps of white smoke rose from the table...
The group exchanged glances, their doubts deepening.
Konan glanced at the two portraits Konan was Jiraiya up and shook her head.
Just as she was about to speak, Konan froze, then suddenly looked down at the ring on her right middle finger!
"This is?!!"
At the Konoha Guesthouse, even on Haruma, there are double rooms available for Shisui.
A hidden barrier enveloped the area, and Shisui sat cross-legged by the window, while Haruma's figure had long since disappeared.
The former Uchiha Clan stronghold in Konoha, located inside a dilapidated underground shrine.
Wearing the organization's uniform with red clouds and black robes, Haruma lowered her hands from the Hand Seals, her black hair now turned orange-red.
His deep black eyes instantly transformed into the imposing Rinnegan!
Are you ready?
Haruma asked without any expression.
As soon as Haruma finished speaking, a figure emerged from the darkness.
Kabuto, now dressed in Akatsuki, adjusted his black-rimmed glasses and respectfully replied, "Please rest assured, sir."
Haruma nodded slightly, closed her eyes, and began to wait.
Kabuto carefully examined the cold appearance that was exactly like Pain's, and secretly marveled at Haruma's methods.
If they couldn't detect the disguise at such close range, they would be even less likely to detect it from the organization members who were merely phantoms.
Perhaps it was because they were the closest and the first member of the organization to react.
Konan's phantom was the first to appear in the dimly lit shrine.
Familiar faces, even the same cold and ruthless demeanor.
Konan's pupils dilated in shock upon seeing Haruma's disguise!
Konan was about to step forward to question him when her body suddenly stiffened and she couldn't move!
If looks could kill, then the Haruma at this moment would surely be burned away by Konan's hateful gaze!
His gaze was too intense and conspicuous.
Haruma had no choice but to wave her hand again, covering the illusion in Konan's eyes with darkness!
After a while,
Besides Tobi disguised as Obito, Hidan, who has become nourishment for Orochi's growth, and all other members of the organization, including Black Zetsu, are gathered here.
As Dou had suspected, these official members were completely unaware that the organization's leader had been replaced.
Even Black Zetsu's eyes showed a moment of confusion, after all, he hadn't actually witnessed Nagato's death.
Even when Black Zetsu was summoned by the Magic Lantern Body Technique, he was almost completely bewildered!
Before we begin the meeting, let me introduce a new colleague.
As Haruma's cool words fell, Kabuto introduced himself with a smile, "Greetings, everyone. I am Kabuto Yakushi who has joined the organization. I look forward to your guidance."
"Are you kidding me? That guy is Orochimaru's henchman, isn't he?!"
Deidara, who had been constantly hunted by the Kumo Ninja, rejoined the meeting after a long absence, but the first news he received displeased him.
Sasori was in the same boat. After all, he and Deidara had been teaming up to hunt down Orochimaru for several years, and now Orochimaru's confidant had suddenly joined the organization. What kind of situation was this?
"Kabuto has already betrayed Orochimaru, you don't need to worry about anything."
"His joining is simply to fill the vacancy in Kakuzu's team."
Haruma turned to look at Deidara and the other person, the power of the Rinnegan was unmistakable!
Upon hearing that Kabuto had betrayed them, and after realizing that he had only teamed up with Kakuzu, Deidara adopted an indifferent attitude.
It's an organizational tradition to have two people in a team, and there's a practice of adding new members whenever a vacancy arises, but Scorpion always felt that something was off.
Sasori joined Akatsuki after being persuaded to surrender by Konan.
Sasori's initial intention was to join the Konan and make Konan his own timeless art.
So Sasori noticed the shadow covering Konan's eyes very early on.
And then there's the sudden addition of Kabuto Yakushi...
Scorpion pondered for a moment, then suddenly looked up and stared directly at Pain, who was disguised as Haruma, and asked in a hoarse voice, "Boss, could you repeat the organization's ultimate goal?"
The members were momentarily stunned, their gazes shifting between Sasori and Pain.
Scorpion's words...
This was the code that Pain personally set at the meeting when someone impersonated the leader.
If you can't answer, then it means you're being faked!
So Sasori suspects that the Pain in front of him is an imposter?
At this moment, even Konan felt a fleeting sense of anticipation!
