Above the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path.
The illusory figures of the Akatsuki gathered here.
After listening to Konan's report, Nagato looked down at the crowd and said authoritatively, " Orochimaru has been confirmed to have betrayed the organization."
"Who among you is willing to undertake the mission of eliminating the traitor?"
"After betraying his own village, did he also betray the organization?"
The burly, half-bent phantom said in a deep voice, "That cunning creature, let me transform him into an eternal work of art."
"Hey, Scorpion!"
The phantom with its topknot spoke up in dissatisfaction, "That's just a human puppet, not art!"
"True art is the eternal beauty of the moment of explosion!"
"Alright."
Nagato gave a cold shout, stopping the two who were about to argue.
"In that case, Orochimaru will be handled by Sasori and Deidara."
Deidara, who was invited to join the team to fill Orochimaru's vacancy after his previous disappearance, also wanted to meet this senior.
Therefore, he did not refuse the leader's arrangement.
Nagato finished speaking, he turned to Kakuzu and asked, "Why haven't the funds for the activities organized over the past few months been handed over?"
Kakuzu thinking, Kakuzu replied, "It was stolen."
These words drew everyone's attention!
"Hey, hey, hey, no way!"
"Is this all the food you've prepared for me?"
Hidan, who had just joined the team, glared at Nagato and angrily said, "A piece of trash who can't even hold onto event funds, I don't want to be on his team!"
"I strongly demand a change of team members!"
Deidara, standing nearby, chimed in, "Seriously, old man? You've wasted all this time, haven't you?"
"Getting robbed is pretty lame."
Nagato's gaze sharpened, and the power of his Rinnegan was fully displayed!
The usually quiet Itachi squinted at those legendary eyes, secretly marveling at them.
Seeing that the scene had quieted down, Nagato asked in a deep voice, "What happened?"
Kakuzu recalled the Dafuweng manga script he received, and after a moment's thought, replied, "The thieves are wearing Akatsuki uniforms just like us."
He wore a wooden mask and called himself Madara Uchiha.
This aligns with the information that has been the subject of much discussion in the Shinobi World recently.
His real name Obito Uchiha, but he wears a mask and uses the title of Madara Uchiha to deceive people.
Upon hearing this,
Nagato Konan, who knew the inside story, and Kisame, who was in the corner, couldn't help but show surprised expressions on their faces.
" Madara Uchiha??"
"Hahaha!"
Deidara, whose mind was entirely focused on explosive art, burst out laughing, "That's a really lame excuse, old man!"
"How about next time you just say the Sage of Six Paths came to rob you?"
No one paid any attention to Deidara's sarcastic remarks.
Only Kakuzu glanced at him sideways.
Maybe this kid is joking...
It will become a prophecy.
Amegakure.
A hidden room in a dark building.
After the meeting ended, Nagato Konan began discussing Obito's matter.
"That guy clearly has ulterior motives."
Konan turned to Nagato and said in a cold tone, " Nagato, perhaps we should just remove him from the organization."
"He has ulterior motives; didn't we know that a long time ago?"
Nagato shook his head. "As long as he doesn't interfere with our plans, Obito or Madara are just trivial matters."
"After all, he has no right to be presumptuous in front of my eyes!"
Nagato's arrogant words also made Konan give up her plan to persuade him.
"Could it really be him who stole the funds for the organization's activities?"
Without hesitation, Nagato explained, "It must be an imposter. He's even more concerned about Akatsuki's development than we are."
"He even personally recruited several members, so why would he do something that would hold them back?"
" Kakuzu also say that the person who attacked him didn't use that special Space-Time Ninjutsu?"
Upon hearing this, Konan nodded and remained silent.
A room in another corner of the building.
The room was filled with flying wood chips, Obito had removed his mask, had a livid face and was panting heavily.
Sunagakure!
" Kirigakure!"
"Damn it... Uchiha Clan!"
Obito gritted his teeth and cursed, each word dripping with rage!
Kirigakure aside Kirigakure, at least he did use Genjutsu to control Yagura, although it was quickly intercepted by someone else.
But what does Sunagakure have to do with him?!
The leak of information about his abilities further shocked and puzzled Obito!
He still couldn't figure out who had leaked the information.
As for the report from Kirigakure stating that it was provided by Fugaku, Obito didn't believe a single punctuation mark.
After all, Fugaku had absolutely no way of knowing about the Sharingan's space-time Dōjutsu!
Black Zetsu, seeing Obito's impotent rage, even considered replacing him as a tool.
Unfortunately, the plan was already halfway done.
Having planned this for a century, Black Zetsu really didn't want to waste this opportunity.
The Land of Whirlpools, on the coast.
This place is the country closest to the Land of Water.
It is also the first stop on the land Rich Man Bridge, built by Yagura.
Bright sunshine, soft, fine sand.
Wearing large sunglasses, Haruma leaned back in a beach chair with a relaxed expression.
Not far away,
Kimimaro, expressionless, was brutally beating Sasuke at close range.
"Little boy, you're such a noob!"
"With this level of skill, you think you can join our team!"
Suigetsu stood outside the battle circle, frantically waving flags and fueling the fire.
" Suigetsu, at least she was a new member who joined on the first day."
Bai Wenrou gently advised, "You're still so young, you shouldn't do this."
"Cut,"
Suigetsu curled her lip and snorted coldly, "Aren't we all about the same age?"
As she spoke of Suigetsu, she glanced very carefully and discreetly at Haruma, who was enjoying a sunbath on a deck chair not far away.
He muttered resentfully in a low voice, "And this little boy is Kirigakure the newly moved-in wealthy Uchiha Clan."
"Hmph!"
Zabuza, who had just finished sparring with Shisui, heard the restless kid talking nonsense as soon as he got close.
He just held a grudge because he got shocked by the boss a few times.
If you can't beat the boss, you think you can bully the boss's little boy?
Anyone who knows the boss's true identity would have guessed this little scheme.
If the Shisui...
uncertain.
Meanwhile, Sasuke, his face bruised and swollen, was struggling to fend off Kimimaro's fierce attacks in the middle of the battle.
Sasuke was originally on Mount Kirigakure, undergoing intensive training with Shisui.
Whoosh,
Suddenly, a man in sunglasses appeared out of nowhere and transported him and Brother Shisui here.
Then, inexplicably, I joined this so-called gold medal team.
Now, under the guise of assessment, they are being inexplicably and brutally beaten.
However, seeing that his opponent was about the same age, Sasuke stubbornly maintained an indomitable spirit!
Even with blood gushing from his nose, he still tried to find an opportunity to punch his opponent twice!
