The Kirigakure Team, carried by Manda, passed through the last patch of thick fog.
It only took half a day to travel from Kirigakure to the Land of Hot Water, which borders the Land of Iron.
I have to commend Yagura for his tireless work during those years...
Haruma, who was sitting cross-legged on the head of Manda, paused slightly, then looked towards the direction of the Land of Iron and smiled.
"Something's happened over there?"
As soon as Shisui opened his mouth, he subconsciously took two steps back.
I'm terrified that Haruma will give him a good pat on the head!
Haruma glanced at Shisui speechlessly, "Sasori and Deidara were captured alive by Tsunade."
"Should we go help?"
Seeing Itachi peek out from behind Shisui, Haruma was speechless once again.
Even the aloof Itachi is being Shisui by this idiot Shisui; he hides behind Shisui whenever he's asked a question, as if he's afraid Shisui will slap him on the back of the head.
Haruma rolled her eyes and replied irritably, "No need."
"It would be good to have Tsunade and the others check the chuunibyou boy's memories."
"They remained suspicious of the information we and Konan gathered."
"They're more likely to believe information obtained through their own means."
After Haruma finished speaking, she slapped Manda on the head, seemingly venting her anger.
"Climb faster, try to reach the Land of Iron by tomorrow morning."
Manda froze, then quickly and respectfully replied, "Yes!"
"Don't worry, sir, I'll speed things up right away!"
Fearing that the Haruma might suddenly clear up, Manda carefully bent down after speaking, and after confirming that everything was alright, she began to charge.
Seeing Manda in such a state, Itachi's lips twitched slightly involuntarily.
Is this still the Manda who made a contract with Orochimaru and demanded hundreds of human sacrifices every time he was summoned?
There's a strange, inexplicable Japanese air about him...
at the same time,
Tsunade and the others glanced casually at Hiashi, who was slowly emerging from the darkness, without the slightest suspicion.
Having just relayed the information to Haruma, Hiashi composed himself and stepped forward with a serious expression to report, " Lord Hokage, we've already scouted the area; there are no other Akatsuki members nearby."
Tsunade nodded upon hearing this. "Thank you for your hard work, Hiashi."
Hiashi: "..."
"Of course."
"Ugh..."
Having just regained consciousness, Deidara instantly mobilized his Chakra, preparing to self-destruct.
"Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle!"
An electric current surged through Deidara's body, causing him to go numb, Chakra he had just activated dissipated instantly!
Open your mouth!
Tsunade gave a soft rebuke, ignoring the electric current emanating from Deidara, and directly pinched his mouth shut!
Deidara, feeling numb all over, uncontrollably swallowed the pill that Tsunade fed him!
"Don't even think about self-destructing! This is a specially made potion I used to seal Chakra!"
The thought that this medicine had been used on Jiraiya during the battle of the Sannin caused Tsunade's eyes to dim for a moment.
"If you don't want to suffer, just tell me everything you know!"
"Heh, do you think I'm the kind of coward who's afraid of death?"
"Don't even think about getting any information out of me!"
With his limbs tightly bound, Deidara hung his head, but his tone remained as arrogant as ever!
"Very good!"
Suppressing her anger, Tsunade instructed those behind her, " Ibiki, the rest is up to you!"
Black hooded trench coat!
Two long, centipede-shaped scars stretched from his forehead to his jaw, making his face look incredibly ferocious with the slightest movement!
Leave it to me.
Ibiki responded coldly and walked straight from the group towards Deidara.
How's Scorpion doing?
Tsunade looked at Kakashi and asked softly.
" The Aburame Chieftain is watching from over there, and the elites of the Konoha Torture and Interrogation Force have begun their trials."
Tsunade nodded slightly; Sasori wasn't like Deidara, who could be controlled with just one pill.
Having transformed his own body into a puppet form, the medicine prepared by Tsunade was completely ineffective.
This trip was specially organized based on the information provided by Konan.
If Lightning Release is Deidara's nemesis, then the Aburame Clan, who can manipulate insects, are a puppeteer's nightmare!
These tiny, all-pervasive insects can burrow directly into the puppet's body and destroy its core from the inside!
Shibi Aburame, the patriarch of the Aburame Clan!
He is the father of Shino Aburame, one of the Konoha 12 in the original manga!
With him constantly watching over her, Tsunade could rest assured.
"I'll leave this place to you for now. The Raikage and I still need to negotiate with the representatives sent by the Land of Iron."
The Five Kage Summit must proceed no matter what!
Especially after witnessing the madness displayed by just two random members of the Akatsuki!
This is a terrorist organization that could start a war at any time!
Sunrise
Golden rays pierced through the gaps in the clouds and fell upon the earth.
The Land of Iron, the daimyo's residence rebuilt with Yamato's help.
Pushing open the conference room door, Ibiki's face was etched with exhaustion after a busy night.
After a whole night of intense interrogation, they could only resort to secret techniques to forcibly probe his memories. His Chakra was almost completely depleted, and his mental energy was almost exhausted!
Even so, Ibiki could only see recent events through Sasori and Deidara's minds.
The Fifth Hokage Tsunade, Fourth Raikage A; and a representative temporarily appointed by the Land of Iron.
The three sat at the head of the table, their gazes fixed intently on Ibiki.
Ai clenched his fists, his face filled with anxiety, and asked, "How is it? Have you found Killer B's location?"
Ibiki let out a long breath and calmly replied, " The Eight-Tails Jinchuriki should be in Kirigakure."
Receiving a look from Ibiki, Tsunade said, "Just say it. Now is not the time to hide information."
Ibiki nodded. "Itachi and Kisame's mission, as a pair, is to take the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki to Kirigakure."
"The leader of Akatsuki will personally capture the Three-Tails Jinchūriki and reunite with Itachi and Kisame in Kirigakure."
"But a crucial piece of information was gleaned from Sasori's mind: he strongly suspected that it was Uchiha Itachi who leaked Akatsuki's information."
"This is almost identical to the information Konan provided."
" Uchiha Itachi seems to have been suspected of being a spy by several members ever since he joined the Akatsuki."
"Bang!!"
Ai nearly smashed the table through with one punch!
"Don't tell me that Uchiha Itachi, who kidnapped my brother, was a spy sent by your Konoha!"
Ibiki frowned slightly and replied coldly, "Everything I said is true. If you don't believe me, you can send someone to interrogate them again when the Kumo Ninja team arrives!"
"Calm!"
Tsunade up and glared at A, "If you don't even trust your allies, then the so-called Five Nations Alliance is nothing but a joke!"
Seeing the Raikage gradually calm down, Tsunade crossed her arms and said, " Ibiki, continue!"
"Bang bang bang!"
Just as Ibiki was about to continue, the Anbu) pushed open the door and brought the latest news.
The Kirigakure forces, led by the Fifth Mizukage, have already entered the territory of the Land of Iron.
And the people were discussing Uchiha Itachi...
Wearing the Forehead Protector of the Kirigakure, he appeared openly and brazenly in the accompanying party!
