Chapter 228 Everything Is Going Smoothly (Two in One) (1/2)

Boom!

The sky was filled with thunderclouds, and the power of thunder finally gathered on the Qilin in Qianhe's hand.

The Qilin beast attacked Kakuzu below with overwhelming force.

With a thunderous sound, the entire forest below Qianhe was turned into powder under the thunder of heaven. Under the high temperature, the entire ground was charred and smoke rose.

The dense forest just now disappeared, leaving only a scorched earth.

And Kakuzu's figure also disappeared.

Qianhe opened the Kagura Heart Eye, and under the perception, the corners of his mouth curled up, and he flew towards the east at high speed.

Then, he stopped above a hillside, stayed in the air for a minute, and flew directly towards the direction of Daimyofu.

Ten minutes later, Kakuzu emerged from the ground with a face full of shock.

He didn't have time to think about why Qianhe let him go, but he survived.

Looking at the sky in the distance with lingering fear, Kakuzu fled from here directly.

After rushing for a long time, Kakuzu stopped and took a breath after confirming that no one was following him.

He really lost a lot this time.

Although assassinating politicians from various countries is not a simple task, it is naturally nothing for an organization like their group composed of all S-level rebel ninjas.

Even if the strength of the S-level rebel ninjas in each village is strong or weak, being able to survive the pursuit is very telling.

Although the politicians of various countries are protected by ninjas and samurai, except for the daimyo, these people can only have one jonin to protect them at most, unless they pay a price to hire a master for protection.

But even so, Kakuzu has various ways to kill them.

As for the plan to assassinate the daimyo this time, Kakuzu was only slightly tempted by Kazuma's persuasion.

The head of the Fire Country daimyo is worth 100 million, which is equivalent to dozens of tasks they usually do.

However, Kakuzu was also very clear-headed. He knew what the consequences would be if he killed the Daimyo, especially the Daimyo of the Land of Fire. Konoha is still the largest village in the Ninja World and a well-deserved overlord.

The current Third Hokage of Konoha is weak and does not take the hunting down of the rebel ninja very seriously, so Itachi and Orochimaru can live so easily. However, if he kills the Daimyo, he will stir up a hornet's nest for the Akatsuki Organization.

The current plan of the Akatsuki Organization is just to accumulate funds and create a small chaos in the Ninja World so as not to let the Ninja World settle down completely.

As for the task of capturing the tailed beasts, the current strength of the organization is still beyond its ability.

It is really unwise to provoke Konoha now.

It is true that Kakuzu likes money, but after he was somewhat tempted in his heart, he did not really want to kill the Daimyo.

On the contrary, he actually wanted to rob the thieves. As the Twelve Guardian Ninjas, the price of the heads of people exchanged for gold in the underground is far less than that of the Daimyo, but the sum of ten people is also 40 to 50 million, which is not a small amount of money.

Kakuzu's idea was to gain their trust, then stab them in the back and kill them. He was not afraid of provoking the daimyo.

Konoha Village was not active in hunting down traitors like Itachi and Orochimaru, so how could they listen to the daimyo and really kill him?

Moreover, Kakuzu gradually helped the daimyo to resolve the internal strife.

But Kakuzu had never expected that Konoha Aurora was so amazing and decisive.

He didn't know when he got close to them, eavesdropped on their conversation, and attacked them directly.

He didn't even have a chance to explain to Kakuzu.

Originally, Kakuzu was still thinking that he had survived the mission of assassinating the first Hokage, Hashirama Senju, but he almost died today.

Five hearts, four were destroyed.

And just now, Kakuzu could clearly feel that Qianhe had discovered that he was hiding underground with earth escape, otherwise it would be impossible for him to stay just above him for a minute.

"Are you warning me? Konoha Aurora, you are so proud! Are you laughing at me for being too weak and too lazy to kill me, just like the first Hokage?"

Kakuzu felt deep shame and fear, but his anger was less.

Thinking back then, Takigakure sent him to assassinate the first Hokage, Hashirama Senju, who was known as the God of Ninja.

At that time, he only fought with the first Hokage, and the first Hokage didn't even use Wood Release to subdue him.

In the end, the first Hokage actually let him go, and talked to him in a friendly manner, saying something like peaceful coexistence in the ninja world.

Although Kakuzu didn't agree with the words of the first Hokage, who would want to die?

After he was released by the first Hokage, he hated the leader at that time. With the strength of the first Hokage, asking him to assassinate, wasn't it sending him to death?

Later, Kakuzu killed the village's high-level officials and took away the village's Earth Grudge Secret Technique, and his strength improved greatly.

Except for the first Hokage and the leader of Akatsuki, Pein, who invited him to join Akatsuki, he had not felt this kind of humiliating powerlessness for a long time.

He could feel that Chiho Kitahara was not using her full strength, and she was in a leisurely manner.

In Orochimaru's previous description, Kakuzu only regarded Chiho Kitahara as a kid with advantages and talents.

It's hard to describe what I saw today.

Suddenly, Kakuzu's face changed slightly, and Pein sent a message.

Kakuzu quickly found a place to hide his tracks, then sat cross-legged and released his chakra.

At this time, Pein, who was far away in the base, used the illusion body technique to gather the members' illusions on the fingers of the outer path statue.

One after another, the illusions formed by the thought waves of the members' chakra appeared.

After watching the members appear one by one and waiting for a while, Kakuzu finally appeared.

Pein said directly: "Biwa Juzo was killed, and Itachi and him encountered the Three-Tails Jinchuriki."

As he said that, Pein looked at the empty space next to Kakuzu and said: "It seems that Kakuzu and you are also in trouble."

"I encountered Konoha Aurora, and Kuwata was killed without even a move.

I had four hearts destroyed by that guy. If he continues to chase me, I can't come back.

Where is Orochimaru?! I want to ask him about his intelligence?

Orochimaru actually said that Kitahara Chiwa's strength is just a little talent. That guy didn't use his full strength when fighting me."

Kakuzu said coldly.

Hearing Kakuzu's explanation, Itachi's eyes moved slightly.

Since joining the Akatsuki organization, Itachi has also had a general understanding of the strength of the Akatsuki organization.

In addition to the leader Pain who has the Samsara Eye and unfathomable strength, Kakuzu's strength is medium in the organization, about the same as Orochimaru.

Orochimaru defected because Itachi had just returned to the organization after completing his mission, and Orochimaru attacked him, but was controlled by his illusion and finally defected from the organization.

Because of the encounter with the Fourth Mizukage this time, Itachi had the help of Chiho's Light Tribulation clone, and he also awakened his new Mangekyō Eye Technique Amaterasu. After returning, he found that his illusion ability had reached a new level, so it was unexpected that it had such a strong effect against Orochimaru.

And Itachi also has a new ultimate eye technique, which has made a big leap in strength.

However, according to Kakuzu's description, Chiho is also at ease against Kakuzu and the other two.

Facing Kakuzu's question, Pein said lightly: "This time I summoned you to talk about this matter, Orochimaru betrayed the organization."

"Tsk, I knew that guy is unreliable, he always puts his personal affairs first." Scorpion in the form of the Amber Flow said disdainfully.

Pein continued, "Although I don't want to let Orochimaru escape, the organization still has many things to deal with and doesn't have the experience to hunt him down."

"Leave Orochimaru to me. I'll find his hiding place soon and let me deal with him." Scorpion replied.

Pein nodded and said, "Before that, you should get familiar with your partner first. There are two new members joining this time."

As he said, Pein pointed to the two phantoms on the opposite side: "This is Kisame and Deidara. Kisame will team up with Itachi to fill the vacancy of Biwa Juzo.

Deidara will team up with you to fill the vacancy of Orochimaru.

As for Kakuzu, you will be in charge of the action first, and I will team up with you when I find a suitable candidate. For a while, you will act alone.

In addition, you don't need to worry about Chiho Kitahara for the time being, leave it to me.

That's it, disband."

"Got it." Kakuzu replied in a muffled voice. He reported Chiho Kitahara's strength, but no one paid special attention to it. It seemed that it was a very common thing for him to be easily defeated.

......

After the disbandment, Sasori took the new member Deidara away to the Wind Country to find the trace of Orochimaru.

And Kisame joined Itachi.

At this time, Itachi was sitting on a pier by the sea, enjoying the sea breeze and looking at the endless sea.

Kisame slowly walked behind Itachi, "From today on, I will be your partner. I am Hoshigaki Kisame from the former Hidden Mist Village. Please take care of me.

You are Uchiha Itachi from the former Hidden Leaf Village. I have long heard of your name. I heard that you almost wiped out the Uchiha clan.

I think I know you well, so I chose to be your partner in the Akatsuki organization.

The feeling of killing compatriots is really indescribable, Mr. Itachi."

Itachi looked at the sea and said lightly: "You talk a lot. Maybe you think you know me, but what about yourself?

Wandering in the thick fog, confused and unable to find the direction, I finally came here.

You are just a waste who can't even decide where to go. Am I right?"

Itachi's words made Kisame narrow his eyes, and instantly put the big sword Samehada behind him across Itachi's neck.

"Let me tell you something. Some sharks are ovoviviparous, and the young sharks will hatch and be born in the eggs of the mother shark.

There is a kind of shark that hatches directly from eggs. The number of young sharks hatched from this shark egg is different from the number of eggs produced by the mother shark.

What do you think is the reason? It is because of cannibalism! After the young sharks are hatched, they soon start to kill each other in the mother's womb.

They start to kill each other as soon as they are born. All individuals except themselves are just food.

From now on, you and I are companions of the Akatsuki organization. Please stay alert and beware of me. Don't let me kill you."

"Same." Itachi had a calm face and didn't even look at the big knife on his neck.

"Let's change the subject." Kisame took back the big knife Samehada on Itachi's neck and said, "I wonder if he knows Kitahara Chiho?

He is about the same age as you. You are both geniuses of Konoha. You should have a good relationship, right?"

"What if he does? What if he doesn't?" Itachi's tone did not fluctuate at all.

"I've met him before. The last time I was on a mission to escort an Anbu member, we were blocked by Konoha ninjas. The ninja leading the team was that Kitahara Chiho." Kisame sighed.

Hearing what he said, Itachi stood up, looked back at Kisame, and said lightly: "You can appear here alive after meeting Qianhe, there is only one possibility, he took the initiative to let you go, am I right?"

"You are right, it seems that your relationship is really good, you know him so well." Kisame smiled, then his face became serious, and said: "He told me that there are his people in the Akatsuki organization. Before coming to the Akatsuki organization, I was thinking that there were only two people from Konoha, Orochimaru and Mr. Itachi.

Since Orochimaru failed to attack you and defected to stop it, it should not be him.

So, is the person he is talking about you?"

As he said, Kisame once again put the big sword Samehada on Itachi's neck.

"Are you threatening me?" Itachi narrowed his eyes and opened the three-magatama Sharingan.

"Maybe?" Kisame smiled.

"You'd better look carefully before deciding whether to chop it off." Itachi looked at Kisame expressionlessly.

Kisame suddenly felt the big sword Samehada in his hand tremble.

Only then did he realize that he had placed the big sword Samehada across his neck. As long as he moved slightly, he could cut off his head.

When did he fall into the illusion?

Was it when Itachi showed his Sharingan just now?

Why didn't he feel anything at all?

If Itachi hadn't reminded him, even with Samehada's reminder, he wouldn't have had time to react.

Just a face-to-face encounter made him fall into the illusion silently, which was really terrible.

But because of this, Kisame was more certain.

He retracted the big sword and said, "It seems to be you."

"I don't understand what you are talking about?" Itachi still looked calm and calm, without any fluctuations.

"I will prove my sincerity." Kisame smiled and said nothing more.

......

After defeating Kakuzu, Chiho did not kill him. On the one hand, he did not want to weaken the strength of the Akatsuki organization and affect their future work efficiency.

On the other hand, he wanted to give the Akatsuki organization a deterrent.

To be honest, although Akatsuki is strong, it is mainly Nagato who has the Samsara Eye and Itachi who has the Mangekyō.

To be honest, the rest of the people are useless even if Obito comes.

Obito has nothing to threaten Chihiro except his Kamui.

Chihiro has the Flying Thunder God Technique and the Immortal Technique, so he really doesn't need to worry about Obito.

And Itachi is a spy on his side. If nothing unexpected happens, Kisame also knows what is the best choice.

This time he also let Akatsuki know his strength.

Anyway, he didn't even expose one-third of his strength, so he is not afraid of anything.

As the leader of Akatsuki, Nagato is unlikely to come out to deal with him personally at this stage, especially when he knows that he has the Flying Thunder God Technique. There is no point in coming to him without absolute certainty.

......

Just after Chihiro severely injured Kakuzu, and after the Light Robbery clone cleared out Kazuma and others who attempted to assassinate the daimyo, the sudden disappearance of ten people caused a commotion in the daimyo's mansion.

Although many people speculated privately, no one stood up to say anything.

The entire Fire City quickly returned to peace.

Time flew by, and soon Qianhe spent three months in the Fire City.

Finally, he received a notice from the Daimyo on October 20.

Someone knew Tsunade's whereabouts, and the gambling king competition officially began. The 200 million gambling money attracted countless people's attention.

Tsunade also voluntarily brought her disciples to the Fire City.

And Jiraiya soon heard the news and came to Qianhe's room in the Daimyo's mansion.

"Qianhe, I heard that Tsunade came..."

When Jiraiya pushed open the door of Qianhe's room, he found Qianhe with his back to him and holding a girl.

Looking at the back, it was unknown what the two were doing.
