Chapter 243 Kakuzu Returns to Rain Hidden

"According to the time, Kakuzu and Hidan should have captured the Seven-Tails Jinchuriki, why haven't they contacted us yet?"

The Akatsuki base in the Hidden Rain Village.

Zetsu and Nagato both wanted to take advantage of the Five Kage Conference to seal the Seven-Tails Jinchuriki into the "Pluto".

As long as the Seven-Tails is taken care of, the remaining Eight-Tails and Nine-Tails will be easy to deal with.

It's not that the Jinchuriki is easy to catch, but Zetsu has corresponding substitutes.

For example: the broken horn of the Eight-Tails collected by Orochimaru, and the brothers Kinkaku and Yinkaku who possess the Nine-Tails' chakra.

But again, Zetsu doesn't want to use these substitutes unless it's absolutely necessary, because it will affect Kaguya Otsutsuki's strength after breaking the seal.

Konan: "It's just Takigakure Village. It shouldn't be able to stop the immortal duo, right?"

Pein: "Takigakure Village can't stop them, but I'm afraid someone will go to Takigakure in advance to protect the Seven-Tails Jinchuriki."

Konan and Pein's words echoed each other, which made Zetsu a little confused.

"Who would be so bored to go protect ninjas from other villages?"

Pein glanced at Zetsu and said, "Konoha."

"Konoha? Well, it's possible now that you put it that way."

Zetsu pondered for a moment. Even if the Fifth Hokage Jiraiya took away Namikaze Minato and Hatake Sakumo, Konoha Village still had top combat forces such as Uzumaki Kuyuki, Orochimaru, Uzumaki Mito, and the Second Hokage.

Well. Zetsu didn't know that Mito and Tobirama were not actually from this time and space. He always thought that Konoha resurrected them.

It was precisely because Konoha had so many top ninjas that Zetsu couldn't wait to start capturing the tailed beasts more than a year in advance.

In order to force Nagato to agree to implement the plan in advance, it did not hesitate to persuade Kisame to capture the One-Tail Jinchuriki and roast Nagato on the fire.

This also led to a slight crack in the relationship between the two.

But this didn't matter to Zetsu at all.

What's a mere chess piece used to nourish the Samsara Eye?

As long as he can revive Kaguya Otsutsuki, Black Zetsu can be the enemy of the world.

At this time, Nagato, who was about to say something, had a thought and sensed Kakuzu's chakra.

"Well, Kakuzu is back, but I didn't sense Hidan's chakra. It seems that they are in big trouble on this trip."

The Rain Country has been shrouded in rain for many years.

With the power of the Samsara Eye, Nagato injected chakra into the rain, and anyone who was drenched by the rain could be sensed by him.

The name of this move is: Rain Tiger Free Technique.

In the original work, Jiraiya seemed to sneak into the Hidden Rain Village smoothly.

But he didn't know that when he appeared in the Hidden Rain Village and was soaked by the rain, he had already been discovered by Nagato.

Zetsu and Konan knew this trick, so they didn't doubt what Pein said.

"Let's wait for Kakuzu to come."

"Huh~"

"Finally safe."

Since getting rid of Tsunade's entanglement, Kakuzu ran all the way to the Land of Rain.

When passing through the Land of Grass on the way, he killed two ninjas who matched the attributes of his destroyed heart and replenished his five hearts.

He didn't take it lightly at this time, who knew if there would be people from Konoha waiting for him in the Land of Grass.

So even if the heart had been replenished, Kakuzu didn't stop at all and rushed back to the Hidden Rain Village at full speed.

For him, returning here was safe.

Pein's pair of reincarnation eyes made him feel very safe.

"Kakuzu, what happened?"

Seeing Kakuzu coming back, Zetsu, who was a little anxious, immediately went to meet him.

"Stop talking. Hidan and I were intercepted by Konoha."

"Intercepted? How many people did Konoha send?"

"Uh"

Kakuzu replied somewhat awkwardly: "Only one person."

"One person?"

After hearing this answer, Pain and Konan did not show anything, but Zetsu became excited.

"Who has the ability to deal with you and Hidan at the same time? Don't tell me it's the first Hokage Senju Hashirama. And, where is Hidan? Could he be killed?"

"Not Senju Hashirama."

After all, as an old man who has survived one, two, and three battles, Kakuzu was embarrassed for a moment and immediately returned to his original appearance.

"The person who intercepted Hidan and me was Senju Hashirama's granddaughter, Tsunade-hime, one of the three ninjas. As for Hidan, I think he should have been taken back to Konoha by Tsunade."

"Shouldn't it be?"

After knowing that the person who intercepted Kakuzu was not Senju Hashirama, Black Zetsu secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

What it fears most at the moment is that Konoha resurrected Senju Hashirama.

Once this person is resurrected, it will have to resurrect Uchiha Madara without any preparation.

In its eyes, only Uchiha Madara is worthy of being a rival to Senju Hashirama.

"With your and Hidan's abilities, how could Tsunade defeat both of you at the same time?"

"Hmm"

"Don't hesitate, tell us the details."

Kakuzu didn't speak immediately, but looked at Pein.

After seeing Pein nod, he told the details of their fight with Tsunade.

Rather than saying that the immortal duo fought Tsunade together, it would be better to say that Kakuzu fought Tsunade alone.

The process of the battle was quite frustrating for Kakuzu.

That waste, Hidan, was beheaded by Tsunade at the beginning and lost the ability to fight directly.

He was successfully deceived by Tsunade and was beaten half of his body by the opponent in a careless blow.

".If I hadn't been careless for a moment and was attacked by Tsunade, Tsunade would never be my opponent."

After telling Nagato, Konan, and Zetsu about the battle, Kakuzu didn't forget to make up for himself.

"Okay, we already know about this matter, you go down and rest first."

"Okay, I'm really tired after such a long journey."

Nodding to the three people, Kakuzu turned and walked towards the hotel in the Hidden Rain Village.

"Something is wrong. Why do I feel that Tsunade seems to be very familiar with the abilities of Hidan and Kakuzu? First, she took advantage of Hidan's confidence and arrogance in his immortality to cut off his head, causing him to lose his combat effectiveness, and then she sneaked up on Kakuzu and destroyed his two hearts. How can a normal ninja fight like this?"

Tendo Pain shook his head and did not respond to what Zetsu said.

Zetsu didn't know, didn't he know yet?

When he went to Konoha to ask Jiraiya to revive Yahiko, Jiraiya almost told him that Konoha had all the information about the Akatsuki organization.

Nagato was originally skeptical, but this time Tsunade's battle with the immortal duo made him understand.

Konoha, indeed, had information about the Akatsuki organization.

In this way, things may develop in the worst direction.

"What should we do? Do we need to send other people to capture the Seven-Tails Jinchuriki?"

Seeing that Pein didn't respond to his words, Jue didn't think much about it.

What he was most concerned about was the matter of the Jinchuriki.

"It's too late. Be prepared to face the attack of the five major ninja villages together."
