Chapter 237 Akatsuki's Actions

Time goes back a little.

The Land of Rain, Akatsuki headquarters.

In this place where it rains all year round, a visitor enters the territory, causing Nagato, who senses the whole country through the Rain Freedom Technique, to open his eyes.

"Nagato, what's wrong?"

Konan, who was guarding Nagato, noticed the change in Nagato's expression.

"He's here."

Nagato's voice was low, and it was obvious that he was not very welcoming to the visitor.

"Uchiha Madara? He hasn't intervened in our affairs for a long time. What is he doing this time?"

Konan also frowned. The Akatsuki organization that was just founded was destroyed by Danzo and Hanzo of the Salamander. Not long after, they met the man who called himself Uchiha Madara, who provided them with new ideas.

But Konan always felt that the so-called Uchiha Madara was very strange and was not a good partner.

"I don't know, he's already outside."

Nagato turned his head and looked outside the door, and there was a knock on the door.

The space ninjutsu of ‘Uchiha Madara’ is unpredictable even in Nagato’s eyes. It is a difficult technique to deal with. He has wanted to take off the other party’s mask to take a look over the years, but he really can’t find a good opportunity.

“Nagato, you look good.”

Obito, wearing a mask, walked into the room and said with a smile while looking at Nagato with black iron stuck in his back.

Nagato frowned slightly. His body has been deteriorating. He didn’t know whether the other party was mocking or greeting him. “What are you doing here? I have started to let Zetsu collect intelligence according to the plan, and I will hunt the tailed beast soon.”

“I don’t mean to change the plan, but some accidents have happened, and our plan needs to change the order.”

Obito ignored Konan, who was full of hostility, and found a place to sit down in the room casually.

“What do you mean?”

Nagato doesn’t like to change the already made plan at will. When the Akatsuki organization was destroyed, Yahiko died because of the temporary plan.

“Something happened in the Hidden Mist Village. The Fourth Mizukage has been out of our control. We have to deal with him first.”

Obito said. This was what he had just learned, and he was very worried.

Originally, the Fourth Mizukage would be a hidden chess piece of their Akatsuki organization, able to cooperate with the Akatsuki organization to stir up the situation in the ninja world, but now this chess piece is out of his control, which feels bad.

After he took over the control of the Mizukage from the real Uchiha Madara, he has been manipulating the Mizukage to destroy the Hidden Mist Village, which is more brutal than the period when Uchiha Madara was in control, all because he felt that it was the Hidden Mist Village that killed his beloved Lin, so he wanted to make the Hidden Mist Village suffer.

In fact, Obito did not think about it. Since the Mizukage was controlled by Uchiha Madara before, would Lin's death be related to Uchiha Madara?

But after thinking about it for a while, he threw this possibility behind his mind. After all, he didn't care who was behind the murder of Lin. He just wanted to find an object to vent.

Even if he could use the Samsara Eye to revive Lin, he didn't want to do it, because even if he didn't want to admit it, he knew deep down that even if Lin was resurrected, the person she loved would not be him.

So he wanted to create a world with Lin!

Originally, his plan had been going smoothly over the years. Although Nagato was not easy to train, he was generally following his plan.

But before their major plan was launched, the Mizukage of the Hidden Mist Village had his illusion lifted, which was a very troublesome matter.

With his own illusion level, it was impossible to re-control Yagura, the perfect Jinchūriki. In order to prevent the Fourth Mizukage from gathering the power of the whole village to retaliate against the Akatsuki Organization, he felt that he had to take the initiative before the Fourth Mizukage could gather the hearts and minds of the people and the combat power.

"Fourth Mizukage? Wasn't he controlled by your illusion? Even if the illusion was lifted, couldn't you control him again?"

Nagato looked at Uchiha Madara with suspicion, thinking that the other party's behavior was not reasonable. This should not be something Uchiha Madara would be anxious about.

Obito was a little speechless. He couldn't say that he was a slacker back then and his illusion attainments were rubbish, right?

He pondered for a few seconds before speaking, "The Hidden Mist Village has discovered it, and it is meaningless to control it with illusions. In order to prevent the subsequent plans from being affected, we must get rid of him first."

"Get rid of him? Don't we need to catch him back?"

Konan on the side said.

"The tailed beasts must be sealed in order, otherwise the Outer Path Demon Statue will not be able to adapt. We haven't captured the first two tailed beasts yet, and the three tails cannot be sealed."

Obito said, "And it is too risky to imprison a perfect Jinchūriki like Yagura."

"But after the death of the Jinchūriki, the tailed beasts will not reappear in the world for two or three years, which will affect the time of our plan."

Nagato frowned, thinking that the masked man's words were full of loopholes. If you can really catch the Fourth Mizukage, can't you control and imprison him with illusions?

Obito seemed to think his judgment was a bit strange. He thought for a moment and changed his words: "You can send someone to capture him alive if you are sure you can keep an eye on him and wait for the other tailed beasts to arrive."

"What did you do during this time?"

Konan asked in confusion. She thought it was strange that Uchiha Madara knew about this matter and came to tell them. Why don't you just capture the Mizukage?

"I have other things to deal with. I have to go to Konoha."

Obito found an excuse, but he was indeed going to Konoha to take a look.

He received news some time ago that the situation of the Uchiha clan had deteriorated and they were ready to rebel. He had a good potential seed in his heart, hoping to draw him into the Akatsuki organization.

For this reason, he will personally kill his family.

Nagato wanted to ask more questions, but he saw that the masked man had disappeared using space ninjutsu, which made him frown deeply.

"Nagato, do you want to do what he says?"

Konan asked.

"Although it feels a bit strange, we cannot sit back and watch Mizukage return to power, especially at the juncture when we are about to take action. We must nip the risk in the bud."

Nagato came to a conclusion, "Gather the members of the organization."

…………

After the Magic Lantern Body Technique was activated, the consciousnesses of Lu Li and Orochimaru came to the space where the heretic demon was.

This time the members of the organization were all present, including Scorpion and Kakuzu, Zetsu, Juuzang Loquat and his teammates, Xiaonan, Tiandao, Orochimaru and Lu Li, a total of nine people.

"Are we summoned at this time to start collecting tailed beasts?"

The scorpion in the red amber said, "If you want to go to Sunagakure, it's best to leave it to me."

Tiandao glanced at Xia, "Then Sunagakure will leave it to you. According to the intelligence, Ichibi is still a child, but he can easily go berserk. You must be prepared to face the tailed beast head-on."

Xiao Nan glanced at Payne in surprise, but said nothing.

Nagato's idea is very simple. He doesn't want to delay his plan because of the unstable factor of Mizukage. Now that his physical condition is good and the heretic demon is ready, he doesn't know what will happen if it is delayed for another three years.

So he decided to let the members of the organization start collecting tailed beasts directly, and the fourth Mizukage also directly captured them, and then they would just absorb one to three tails.

"I have to go on a business trip to a place like Sunagakure, where no one cares. It really hinders my ability to make money."

Kakuzu sounded dissatisfied, but seeing Pain's determined eyes, he said no more.

"Juzang, your group is the most familiar with Kirigakure Village, and it's located close now. Let's go over first to inquire about the situation."

Payne said, "Don't act rashly yet."

Loquat Juuzang's heart tightened when he heard the first half of the sentence, and he wanted to say, 'Am I the Mizukage? ’, but after hearing the following words, don’t act rashly, I breathed a sigh of relief.

The co-author just went there to gather information, so it wasn't too dangerous.

"Orochimaru, Calamity, your group is going to capture the two tails, and then go south and take a boat to support Kirigakure."

Pain issued new instructions, just for the first few tailed beasts, there was no need for him to take action himself.

The Fourth Mizukage was very strong, but he didn't think Loquat Juuzang's group could win, so he let them just enter and lurk.

He was very optimistic about the fighting strength of the team of Natural Disaster and Orochimaru. After all, Natural Disaster had once been able to cause chaos in Yunyin Village and kill them. It shouldn't be a big problem if he and Orochimaru cooperated to arrest people in Yunyin Village.

"Two tails, but Kumogakure has two jinchūriki. If we meet the eight tails, do we want to arrest them?"

Orochimaru licked the corner of his mouth and said so, but he hadn't actually decided yet to go out and help the Akatsuki organization capture the tailed beasts.

Now that Lu Jun has given him a large amount of research funds, the support of the Akatsuki Organization is no longer necessary. It is too risky to go to Yunyin, a war-powerful country, to catch tailed beasts.

"If nothing can be done, you can retreat first and prioritize the recovery of the jinchuriki of Kirigakure Village."

Tiandao thought for a while and said, "If you don't succeed, I will go there myself."

Lu Li listened to the whole process and did not speak. He was just thinking, why was Nagato so anxious to deal with Kirigakure's matter?

It is of course allowed for members of the Akatsuki organization to retreat if they cannot defeat them. Otherwise, if people die, the Akatsuki organization will have to recruit new people, which is not good for the organization.

From this point of view, the Akatsuki organization is still more enlightened than the major ninja villages. There are also people in Konoha Village who have been condemned to die on the pillar of shame or punished because they were unable to defeat and escape. Not to mention Kirigakure Village, Loquat Juuzou is Because of this defection.

During the Ninja War that year, Loquat Juuzang met Metkai's father, Metdai, and was beaten to death by the Eight Door Dungeon. He threw away his armor and fled in a hurry. As a result, he was sentenced and finally became a traitorous ninja.

Although it was the Mizukage who was manipulated into issuing this punishment, it felt quite outrageous that other people could accept this situation.

Is Loquat Juzo’s behavior considered a deserter? That's obviously a strategic retreat. Everyone on the other side is going to die. Do you still want to go up and be replaced by him?

Now that Nagato has said this, he has naturally thought of a way to paddle.

With his current strength, if he brings Orochimaru with him, can he capture the two Yuzuki Gates?

He would definitely be caught, and he was confident of escaping unscathed, but why did he work so hard in the Akatsuki organization?

Anyway, he didn't receive any more side missions or hidden missions this time. It was a thankless task to go to Kumogakure to grab the teak door, so he could only replenish the Soul Eater ring.

And once he breaks up with Kumogakure, Kumogakure will never give him production value again, and the angry Raikage will also expose his undercover identity.

Even though he had already captured the second tail at that time, Nagato might not believe it, and it would also cause him a lot of trouble.

After all, this affected his own interests too much, so Lu Li decided to sell a big wave of information and squeeze out Yunyin's value first.

"Are there any objections? If there are no objections, the meeting will be dismissed."

Tiandao said, looking at everyone.

The people present were silent for a while. Upon seeing this, Tiandao dispelled the magic lantern body technique and adjourned the remote self-media conference.

After Lu Li and Orochimaru returned to the base, they looked at each other and saw each other's "sinister" eyes.

"Lu Jun, do you feel a sense of belonging to the Akatsuki organization?"

Orochimaru asked. He wanted to pull Lu Li out of the organization. After all, catching tailed beasts on a large scale was too offensive. He just wanted to be a scientist who studied quietly.

Let him go to the Hidden Cloud Village with Lu Li? Payne, why don't you go by yourself?

"I can't say I feel a sense of belonging, but I am a little interested in the tailed beasts, so I plan to go north to take a look."

Lu Li could guess what Orochimaru was thinking and added, "If you don't want to go, just focus on your research. I can do it myself."
