Chapter 233: Itachi-san, we are Lucky!
Amegakure’s tower.
Just after sealing the two Bijuu, Nagato’s face was also full of fatigue. Uehara waved his hand at him to use Astral Infusion which slightly restored him.
Nagato frowned and whispered, “Uehara, you have worked hard today. Don’t waste your chakra.”
“It’s ok.”
Uehara sat at the table and began to talk about serious matters, “I will participate in Konoha’s alliance talks. Before that, we might be able to make some special arrangements.”
Nagato knocked on the chair with his finger. After thinking for a while, he whispered, “Uehara, do you have any ideas?”
“Let me first talk about the information collected from the Five Great Countries Ninja Village.”
Uehara frowned and said in a deep voice, “First of all, the mastermind behind Akatsuki’s organization is Obito, who is instructing Akatsuki to act.”
“In a sense…”
Nagato seemed to have thought of something unhappy and whispered, “It was indeed Obito who guided us to do things before.”
“It’s the same now.”
Uehara spread out his palm and said in a low voice, “When I talk about the leader behind Akatsuki in the outside world, I always inevitably mention Obito. The eyes of the Five Great Countries are on him. Those people probably think that as long as they kill Obito, the entire Akatsuki organization will collapse.”
Nagato was a little confused.
There was actually such a thing?
Nagato looked at Uehara. There was a faint doubt on his face, “Do those people trust you so much?”
Uehara shook his head and nodded again. He continued softly, “This incident is a bit long to talk about. It dates back to eight years ago when I was assassinated by Obito…
At that time, I was discovered by Kakashi when I tried to recruit Kisame, and his identity was exposed by Kakashi. Which caused the Kirigakure and Akatsuki organizations to be inseparable.
This could easily arouse the enemy’s suspicion. At that time, Kakashi kept asking about my information. After being helpless, I could only tell him a part of the truth.
Later on, the whole truth became what it was now.
Amegakure’s leader, Hanzo, was lured by Obito, who had concealed his name, to recruit all the ninjas under his command to form a mercenary organization and accumulate his own strength.
Later, Obito betrayed Hanzo for his own ambition and recruited the rebels in the mercenary organization to become independent. They formed an organization called Akatsuki, who participated in wars everywhere in the Ninja World and even began to capture Bijuu.
On the other hand, Hanzo, who had been betrayed, was very angry. After many years of hard work turned to nothing. Thus, the Ame Ninjas led by Hanzo and the Akatsuki organization led by Obito were fighting everywhere. The Ame Ninjas were also searching everywhere for Akatsuki’s members.
In their opinion, our Amegakure Ninjas and the so-called Amegakure Leader Hanzo should be the people who hate the Akatsuki organization the most.”
After Uehara finished speaking, he rubbed his forehead and said softly, “I don’t know why it became like this either. In short, the situation with Amegakure and Akatsuki is almost like this. I am always worried that there will be flaws.”
In fact, there were many things hidden in Uehara’s words.
For example, how many black pots did Hanzo take for the current Amegakure, and how many black pots did Obito take for Akatsuki’s organization, Uehara probably couldn’t even count it himself.
Since he couldn’t count, then there was no need to mention it.
Not to mention the fact that Uehara didn’t mention it, just a rough description of what happened made Nagato completely stunned.
There was actually such an operation?
It had to be said that this matter was extremely beneficial to both Akatsuki and Amegakure. It could allow them to act more discreetly and prevent Amegakure from being implicated.
However, this sort of thing had to be handled with care.
This was also thanks to Amegakure sealing off the outside world.
If one day someone sneaked in and got a little bit of information about Amegakure, they would probably be dumbfounded on the spot.
Nagato made a decision on the spot and said in a deep voice, “In the future, Tendo Pain will stay in Amegakure and cover the entire village with Ukojizai no Jutsu (Rain Tiger at Will Technique) for a long time to prevent anyone from sneaking in and destroying the situation that is extremely beneficial to us.”
“…”
Uehara couldn’t help but think of the only ninja who sneaked into Amegakure. It was Jiraiya, one of Konoha Sannin, and also Konan and Nagato’s Sensei.
Uehara sighed in his heart. If Konan and Nagato killed Jiraiya again, wouldn’t they regret it again?
After all, the plan that Konan and Nagato were carrying out was all fake.
The real Eye of the Moon Plan, in fact, only Black Zetsu, Uehara, Kisame, and Kabuto knew.
It seemed that he had to think of a way to save them.
However, according to the current situation, Jiraiya might not sneak in. After all, Uehara could make up a copy of the information they wanted for them!
Moreover, if Jiraiya sneaked in and was discovered, it would cause a dispute between Konohagakure and Amegakure, and it will be detrimental to the overall situation of the Ninja World to fight Akatsuki together.
“As for Akatsuki, this is more troublesome…”
Nagato frowned and thought of the group of people who were not disciplined, “Well, how about this? If you want the members of the organization to cooperate with you, use Astral Projection Jutsu to order them directly, or tell me, and I will give the order.”
“Okay”
Uehara tapped his finger and said in a low voice, “I’ll go change into a normal ninja uniform and prepare to participate in the alliance talk. As for what we need to cooperate with, I can directly tell Kakuzu-senpai. Our relationship is not bad.”
“Okay.”
Nagato smiled and nodded.
Uehara continued to add, “By the way, the last thing, for the Gobi Jinchuriki, waits for me to come back before catching him! In case we reveal any flaws!”
After all, to capture Gobi Jinchuriki they needed to attack Iwagakure, and Uehara needed to use the excuse of capturing Gobi Jinchuriki to destroy Iwagakure to obtain the Earth Power!
“Okay.”
Nagato continued to nod.
After he finished speaking, Uehara left the tall tower.
Nagato looked at Uehara’s back thoughtfully. A moment later, he summoned Tendo Pain and talked to his puppet, “Actually, we can already give Amegakure and Akatsuki to him, right?”
Even Uehara’s treatment was just a drop in the bucket. After all, the one who extracted his strength behind his back was a colossus like Gedo Mazo.
Nagato was very clear that it was impossible for his lifespan to last for too long. Even if the chakra Uehara instilled into him was enormous, it was only a delay in the end.
Even if he could delay, how many years could he delay?
According to Nagato’s judgment, it could be considered very lucky for him to be able to delay until Uehara was thirty years old.
“Is this pair of eyes, Sage’s eyes or Sage’s curse?”
Nagato subconsciously stroked his eyes and slowly lowered his head, “At least let Uehara enjoy the peaceful world created by these eyes!”
“…”
Uehara stood outside the door. His palm, which wanted to push the door open, stopped. He actually had one more thing to say, but now he didn’t want to go in.
Forget it. Anyway, he had already arranged it for Nagato.
The current Nagato was still thinking about how to feel touched.
After Uehara packed up his things and slowly left Amegakure. This meeting might be his last time going to Konoha. If there was a next chance, it meant that he might have mixed into the Ninja Alliance of the Fourth Ninja War.
Tsk, would there be a chance?
When Uehara entered Country of Fire.
Something big happened in the Country of Fire that alarmed Konoha.
The entire Fire Temple turned into ruins. The Monk Chiriku who presided over the Fire Temple was killed by two guys from Akatsuki’s organization, and his body was taken away.
Yes, Kakuzu and Hidan made their move.
After sealing Sanbi and Yonbi, Kakuzu could not hold back his desire for money. Relying on his undying body, he dragged Hidan to Fire Temple to kill Chiriku.
Even if Chiriku thought that he was strong, he could not defeat Hidan who had opened the evil god ritual and was killed on the spot.
In Konoha Village.
After Tsunade received the news, she announced on the spot that she wanted to capture the two members of Akatsuki’s organization and sent out a total of twenty ninja teams!
If they could capture these two members of Akatsuki’s organization, then they would be able to gain more political advantages in the upcoming alliance talks against Akatsuki.
This was the Fifth Hokage consideration.
Unfortunately, Tsunade did not expect that the members of Akatsuki’s organization that were active in Country of Fire were not only Kakuzu and Hidan.
Country of Fire, the bounty station near Fire Temple.
This bounty station was located in a toilet. Kakuzu was still carefully counting the money inside. After all, money was not a small matter. He had to clearly count it.
Hidan could not bear the stench and cursed out. Kakuzu thought that Hidan had no fate with money.
But this time, Kakuzu guessed wrong.
Hidan and money were still fated.
Just as Hidan was waiting for Kakuzu outside the bounty station, a Konoha Jonin named Asuma appeared in front of him with his team.
Asuma happened to be one of the Ninjas on Kakuzu’s kill list and was also five million more than the corpse of Chiriku. It could be said to be a large sum of money in the world.
Asuma did not know his own crisis. He appeared in front of Hidan with two Chakra blades in his hands and coldly said, “Shikamaru, Izumo, Kotetsu, it seems that our luck is good, we directly found the murderer of Chiriku…”
“No, Asuma-sensei.”
Shikamaru shook his head and turned to look at the other figure. He said with an ugly expression, “Our luck doesn’t seem to be very good.”
In the direction Shikamaru was looking at, four figures wearing black robes came out.
According to Konoha’s intelligence, apart from attacking Five Great Country Ninja Village, Akatsuki usually sent two people in a group.
The information they received was the same. After all, the monk from Fire Temple had only seen Kakuzu and Hidan.
Originally, Shikamaru thought that the four of them had surrounded a member of Akatsuki. When they first dealt with one before ambushing the other, four members of Akatsuki’s organization appeared and surrounded them.
The leader, Kisame, grinned and said with a chuckle, “Itachi-san, it seems that our luck is good. We can directly help Kakuzu-senpai catch the big fish he wants!”
