Chapter 274 Putting the Blame on Someone Else

In the dim underground cave, Lu Li's illusory figure appeared on the fingers of the outside demon.

As soon as he connected, he felt Tiandao's questioning gaze.

So, before Lu Li could even wait for Tiandao to attack, he struck back and said, "Chief, I think I need an explanation."

Tiandao's words were suppressed in his stomach. He originally wanted to ask Lu Li why he attacked Konoha rashly. It was obvious that he had told Lu Li to keep a low profile not long ago.

"Scourge, what do you have to say?"

Tiandao temporarily suppressed his displeasure and prepared to listen to what Lu Li had to say.

"I went to the Country of Fire based on intelligence. For the sake of the organization's mission, I put aside my personal feelings and made a deal with Danzo, but what was the result?"

Lu Li's voice was low, with an angry expression on his face, "The so-called deal does not exist at all. It was simply a trap set to surround and kill me!"

Nagato was stunned for a moment after hearing Lu Li's words, "A trap?"

As he said that, he looked at Jue again and said in his heart that Jue's report to him was not like this.

"Danzo had no intention of trading with us. After I went to the trading location, I found that there was a forbidden technique array that he had arranged in advance, which could suppress my chakra. If it weren't for my excellent physical skills, I would have done it immediately Judgment, definitely dead there.”

Lu Li pretended to be hurt after being betrayed, "I would like to ask, what has I failed to do to the organization since I joined it? Which mission did I not do with all my heart? Why did you join forces with Danzo to harm me?"

Nagato fell silent after hearing Lu Li's words. If what Lu Li said was true, then something was really wrong.

Recalling that he was also transformed into a human and a ghost by Danzo, and his best friend Yahiko also died because of this, he now somewhat understands Lu Li's mood.

Faced with Danzo, an old enemy, it was very rare for Calamity to go on a mission, but in the end he found out that Danzo's deal was a trap for him. How could Calamity not be heartbroken?

"But...why did you attack Konoha later? Why did Orochimaru go too? I didn't give the order for him to come along."

Nagato's tone has become much weaker, and it has changed from questioning to questioning.

"Chief, are you serious?"

Lu Li said speechlessly, "I was besieged by the Konoha ninjas. The battle was so huge that the Hokage led the strong men to attack. It's not my style to keep running away. I was angry, so of course I just fought to the end. "

As he spoke, he glanced at Orochimaru, who always had a subtle smile on his face, "As for Orochimaru-senpai, he came here after receiving my signal for help. Without Orochimaru-senpai's help outside, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to do anything. Came back alive."

After hearing the words, Nagato thought for a moment and felt that what Lu Li said was somewhat reasonable. He couldn't ask the natural disaster light not to fight back when being beaten. It was hard to hold back when old and new enemies were added together and a battle broke out at the door of Konoha's house. No total war.

But……

Tiandao, controlled by Nagato, looked at Zetsu's figure with some suspicion, "Zetsu, that's not what you told me before."

Jue was a little embarrassed now. He didn't expect Lu Li to be so strong and well-spoken. He just beat him up and took the lead, looking very reasonable and well-founded. This made his previous 'testimony' seem less credible.

"Duanzo may have set up a large formation just for insurance. After all, the organization's strong statement is out there. It must be that the natural disaster couldn't hold back in the face of an old enemy and the quarrel broke out before the war started, right?"

Jue was not very confident when he spoke, "I inspected the battlefield situation afterwards and found that there is indeed a large formation, but it should not be said to threaten the life of the natural disaster."

After hearing this, Lu Li sneered, "Jue, I won't hold you accountable for following you all the time. What you said is just reasoning and has no basis. Just talk about the forbidden magic formation. Do you think there is no threat? Then? Go in, let me chop you, and see if you die?"

Lu Li was scolded and speechless for a moment. He was not a very good talker in the first place. He usually only made small moves in secret, but now he was facing Lu Li in court. He really couldn't speak out.

Seeing that Jue couldn't answer, Lu Li looked at Tiandao again, "Chief, I was ready to cut off from the organization because I thought you wanted to get rid of me, but I sensed the call of the ring and realized something was wrong. "If you want to kill me, you don't have to confront me now."

Tiandao was also in a state of confusion now, but nodded subconsciously, "Of course I didn't mean to kill you. Your contribution to the organization can be seen by everyone. I just want to find out the truth of the matter."

He had already sensed that something was wrong. If the natural disaster was framed, all he had to do now was to stabilize the mood of this capable man and figure out the truth.

"Yes, so I understood the moment I received the summons that there was someone else who framed me."

Lu Li looked directly at the pair of reincarnation eyes, "Chief, whose commission is this mission?"

Nagato was speechless for a moment. He was not a fool. He couldn't figure out why. This task was given by the masked man through his mouth, which was the will of the masked man.

In the final analysis, it was the masked man who actually sold Lu Li. Nagato couldn't understand why the other party would do this. After all, Lu Li was currently the second most powerful person in the Akatsuki organization.

Compared to being confused about the masked man betraying Lu Li, Nagato is now more concerned about another thing, that is, the masked man may have had a deal with Danzo long ago, and it is very likely that they still have a long-term cooperative relationship!

Thinking back to the time when his Akatsuki organization was besieged and killed by Danzo and Sansho Hanzo, and ended up miserable. Just when he was confused and angry, the masked man came to him and wanted to establish a new Akatsuki organization...

In that battle that year, he still didn't know who leaked the information, nor who led Danzo to cooperate with Sansho Hanzo.

Putting all these things together, Nagato had reason to suspect that there was a promoter behind that incident, and that promoter was probably the masked man!

Because the subsequent situation was beneficial to the masked man, he got the help of himself, a strong man with the Samsara Eye, to establish a new Akatsuki organization and implement the plan.

At the thought of this, Nagato felt a surge of anger in his heart. If his suspicion was true, he would never let the masked man go, even if the other person was Madara Uchiha!

"By the way, leader, I have something to report. During the battle in Konoha, at a critical moment, a man wearing a mask appeared and attacked me. He had the Mangekyo Sharingan. I have disappeared from the ninja world for many years. , I have never heard of such a powerful person, but I don’t think he is from Konoha, because he also killed Konoha’s ninjas.”

Seeing Nagato thinking silently, Lu Li reminded him again, "Do you know who he is?"

"Oh? Another pair of kaleidoscopes?"

Orochimaru also looked interested.

After hearing Lu Li's words, Nagato felt heavy in his heart. There was no need to guess now. It was the masked man and Danzo who planned this incident, but Lu Li was not killed. In order to prevent Lu Li from coming to complain to him, the masked man even tried to silence him. .

But the strength of the natural disaster was beyond his expectation, so he failed to silence him successfully, which resulted in the current situation.

But now as the leader, Nagato feels that this matter is really difficult to handle. If he doesn't handle it well, the Akatsuki organization may be disbanded.

No one would follow a leader who would betray his subordinates, especially a traitorous ninja who lacked a sense of security. Even if he was powerful, he could not restrain people's hearts.

When Nagato was struggling in his heart, thinking about how to deal with the natural disaster, Konan, who was standing at his disposal, spoke first.

"Lu Jun, this time the organization has failed you. We know the masked man you mentioned. He is a hidden member of the Akatsuki organization. It was at his request that Payne issued this mission. "

Xiaonan explained that she had been unhappy with the masked man for a long time, and now that he had come to light, she felt that this was a good opportunity for Nagato to make up his mind to cut off from the masked man.

Even without the masked man, their Akatsuki organization's plan can still be carried out as usual. Anyway, over the years, she doesn't think that sneaky guy has played any role in the Akatsuki organization's plan.

And with a woman's sixth sense, she always felt that the masked man was planning other conspiracies, not to achieve nuclear peace in the world, but to use the tailed beasts to do other things.

"Oh? Does the organization have such an inside story? Why does he hide under the water and let us go out to fight for life and death? He enjoys the money we earn from our work, never contributes, and betrays us at a critical moment?"

Lu Li directly raised the matter to a collective level. As he spoke, he glanced at Kakuzu opposite, "Kakuzu, can you accept that the money you earn will be spent by a rat in the gutter?"

Kakuzu also looked gloomy at this time, "Chief, I also want an explanation."

Facts have proved that the rebellious ninjas of the Akatsuki organization all have tempers. Even if you, Pain, are extremely powerful and can overwhelm the others, you still can't win over people's hearts.

After Kakuzu learned that the money he had worked hard to earn was spent by someone he didn't know, he felt bad.

He is not stupid. The person who allows the leader to conceal his identity and can 'command' the leader to issue tasks definitely has a very high status and can even be regarded as the leader's 'partner'.

But as a treasurer, how can he spend the money he earns on someone he doesn't know about?

Moreover, that guy would betray members of the organization. Even if he didn't like natural disasters, he would never tolerate betrayal within the organization.

"We didn't know about this. We only had a cooperative relationship with him before. Now that he has betrayed the members of the organization, he has naturally become a traitor to the organization."

Xiao Nan said and glanced at Payne, "We should issue a fatwa for him."

Seeing that Konan had already reached this point, Nagato knew that the matter could only be handled in this way in order to stabilize the morale of the army, so he said: "That man is very mysterious, wearing a mask, and calls himself Uchiha Madara. He is elusive. Since he Already rebelled, I will take charge of handling this matter personally.”

As he said that, he looked at Lu Li and said, "Sky Disaster, after you finish what you are doing, come to the Country of Rain and I will give you an explanation."

Lu Li felt Nagato's determination, which meant that he would kill the masked man himself and show the body to him. This way of handling the matter could be said to be full of sincerity.

Nagato had already reached this point, and he had no choice but to continue making trouble without realizing it. It would be too much, so his expression softened a lot, "The leader's words are serious. Once I have settled the Nine-Tails Jinchuuriki, I will go to the Land of Rain." ”

"Kyuubi Jinchuuriki?"

Tiandao's voice was full of surprise, and then he looked at Jue, wondering why you didn't report such a big thing.

It was definitely a bit embarrassing. He had previously been busy thinking of ways to implement Lu Li's rebellion, and now that the Akatsuki organization was not collecting tailed beasts for the time being, he just let this matter go.

"I thought at the time, since we had penetrated Konoha, the Nine-Tails Jinchuuriki would be useless if we didn't capture him, so I might as well just take him away."

Lu Li looked innocent, "Chief, I won't cause you any trouble, will I?"

Nagato was really confused at this moment. He knew that Lu Li was very capable as a member of the organization, but he didn't expect Lu Li to be so capable.

Good guy, he was originally going to catch the Nine-Tails himself, but Lu Li caught it directly.

"It's okay, Tianzai, you did a good job, put him in a good place, he will be useful when the plan is restarted in a few years."

Tiandao said in an encouraging tone.

At this time, he was also very relieved in his heart, thinking that Tianzai was really broad-minded and extraordinary. Even if he was betrayed, he did not forget to contribute to the organization. In that case, he also caught the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, which can be regarded as a model member of the organization.

For a moment, he felt that he had actually wanted to question Tianzai before, which was really wrong.

If there were more people like Lu Li in the Akatsuki organization who were so admired by him in terms of strength, character, pattern, and mind, there would be no worries about not being able to accomplish great things.
