Chapter 231 The Direction You Should Pay Attention To
I got off work two hours late. I was writing in such a hurry that I had to finish one chapter before twelve o'clock.
------------------------------------------
From one end of the street to the other, the figure slowly receding away also took the opportunity with it.
Staring at the departing figure, Akai silently clenched his fist with one hand. How much he wanted to follow him in order to learn more about Teacher Ye. However, the actions he had taken without any thought or consideration in the past could not be realized at this moment. It's silent.
Hong put the meatballs back on the plate in Kai's hand, looking a little listless.
Kakashi glanced at the silent and lifeless Akai without leaving any trace. In his mind, this was a very rare scene. The man he had cared about played an important role to Akai. It shouldn't be low.
All the information about that person, someone wanted to know, especially urgently.
A calm face is just the weakest cover.
The three of them, Kushina, came to the Hokage's office and knocked on the door politely, causing the conversation inside to stop abruptly. The last syllable seemed to be the last syllable of Orochimaru's name.
Faintly hearing Orochimaru's name, Tsunade and Jiraiya glanced at each other subconsciously, but didn't pay much attention.
"Come in." Minato's gentle voice came from inside the door.
The three of them pushed the door open and were slightly surprised to see Sarutobi there.
Seeing Jiraiya, Minato's eyes lit up and he smiled and said, "Jiraiya-sensei, you are back."
As early as Jiraiya entered the village, he received a message from the guard, but he and Sarutobi were discussing important matters, so he could not take the initiative to go to Jiraiya.
"Yes." Jiraiya smiled and followed Kushina and Tsunade into the office.
"Were you talking about Orochimaru just now?" He asked casually after taking a look at the environment that didn't seem to have changed much in the past six months.
Minato and Sarutobi looked at each other, and the former nodded and admitted, "That's right."
Jiraiya raised his eyebrows and asked curiously: "What are you talking about him?"
"Let's talk about this later." Minato's eyes quickly passed over the calm Kushina, then looked at Jiraiya and said seriously: "Now, since the teacher is back, I must have collected almost all the information. "
Regarding Orochimaru's matter, Jiraiya was a little concerned, but Minato put Akatsuki's matter first, so he couldn't insist on asking, nodded and said: "We already know the general situation, but this is only one-sided information. , if you want to go deeper, it’s not that simple.”
"What kind of existence is this organization?" Minato's eyes narrowed slightly. He thought of Bai Zetsu who invaded Konoha and wanted to steal the scroll of forbidden arts. From this, we can see the need for power of this organization, and the current war It was just over, and he didn't want another dispute to start.
Jiraiya frowned slightly and said: "This organization is called Akatsuki. It looks like a mercenary organization. Its main purpose is to make money. This is a conclusion based on the intelligence collected. However, I always feel that it is far from that." It's simple, but in the past six months, Xiao's members, including Ye Zi... have indeed focused on making money, and almost all the members they recruited have one thing in common."
After hearing Ye Zi's message, Kushina and Tsunade's eyes almost changed slightly.
"What they have in common?" Sarutobi wrinkled his eyes, as if he had touched one side.
"Rebellious ninja, rebellious ninja in the Ninja Village, this is what Akatsuki members have in common." Jiraiya said solemnly.
Everyone present heard Jiraiya's words and immediately thought of Ye Zi.
"In the past six months, the people I have collected intelligence from are all peripheral members. The information I have come into contact with is actually not comprehensive, but I still have a rough idea. Each of the core members of the Xiao organization has a code name. I It is certain that Ye Zi is also one of the core members, and their stronghold is... Yu Ninja Village." When Jiraiya said this, his expression gradually became serious.
"Rain Ninja Village!" Tsunade was startled when she heard this and said hesitantly: "Could it be...?"
Jiraiya glanced at her and said solemnly: "No, if it doesn't go as I expected, Hanzo should be dead..."
Hanzo...the man who defeated the Sannin and gave him the title of Sannin is actually dead?
Everyone present knew that Hanzo was a strong man, so they were silent when they heard the news.
"I asked for information from an outgoing Rain Ninja. The current Rain Ninja Village has been replaced by someone. They call the person behind the scenes a god. Therefore, Hanzo should be dead, which is why the Rain Ninja Village has been replaced. But the outside world has I don’t know this, because the current Rain Ninja Village has adopted a closed policy, and the person who can replace Hanzo is definitely not an ordinary person, so I did not sneak into the Rain Ninja Village easily when the intelligence was still lacking."
"What is certain is that the current Rain Ninja Village is the base of Akatsuki. If we further speculate, this organization should have originated from the Kingdom of Rain, and why did Ye Zi join Akatsuki, including creating the illusion of death and hiding it from the Iwa Ninja Village? , maybe... Ye Zi had an encounter with this organization long ago."
Sarutobi was slightly startled when he heard this. He frowned when he thought of a possibility, and said in an uncertain tone: "I once gave Ye Zi a task, which was to go to the Land of Rain to capture Hara Jianye. Could it be that Was that then? But that was several years ago."
"Compared with this possibility, there are some things that can be made clearer only by asking Danzo. After all, old man, you don't know anything about the tasks Ye Zi has performed since joining Gen." Jiraiya looked at Minato and said, "No matter Ye Zi Whether Azusa joining the Akatsuki was a premeditated plan, and regardless of whether the village owed him before, he is now a member of the Akatsuki and a rebellious ninja of the village."
"To be honest, I took the initiative to take on this task at first, just because I didn't want Tsunade to take risks, and the starting point was actually because of Ye Zi."
When Tsunade heard this, she turned away unappreciatively.
Seeing this, Jiraiya smiled bitterly and continued: "However, the more I understand this organization, I think that it is not Ye Zi that you should pay attention to, but this organization."
"Although the purpose of this organization is just to make money, it seems to be just a regular mercenary organization. It occupied the Rain Ninja Village and seems to want to become an emerging ninja force. But... I can always vaguely feel that these actions are only superficial. .”
"With Ye Zi's comparison, the people who can become the core personnel will not be ordinary people. From the information I know about the three people, they are all S-class renegade ninjas in the Ninja Village."
As soon as Jiraiya finished speaking, Tsunade asked impatiently: "Does any member of the Akatsuki organization know how to escape?"
"I am not sure."
Jiraiya replied simply.
Wood Release is the exclusive escape technique of the First Hokage. Who else can use Wood Release, and where does this person come from? You must know that all the Senju clan members are in the village.
Just from the perspective of Mu Dun, this issue can become a thick fog that cannot be cleared away no matter what.
Minato's eyes showed a thoughtful look.
In the Akatsuki organization, there is someone who masters the Wood Release. There is a certain possibility that this person is the black and white weirdo who came to steal the scroll that night. At that time, the other person melted into the trees and disappeared, but he was not sure about this. Is this one of the ways to use Wood Release?
From the beginning to the end, Kushina looked calm, just listening quietly, not knowing what she was thinking.
