Chapter 415 Actions

The Country of Tea, a tea room in a border town.

The burly man was wearing a coat with a black background and red clouds, and a bamboo hat on his head. After entering the tea room, he walked towards the agreed private room.

After opening the door, a teenager wearing the same standard costume sat inside, savoring the tea provided by the tea room.

The first bitter and then sweet taste made him close his eyes, as if he was reminiscing about this wonderful taste.

This tea room is one of Akatsuki's properties. In order to allow Akatsuki's members to have a place to stay when performing missions around the world, they will not be trapped in the wilderness.

There are still many such strongholds. Except for the sphere of influence governed by the ghost country, there are many such strongholds in every country.

The burly man took off the hat on his head, revealing a rather strange face, like a shark. He walked to the opposite side of the boy, and before he could speak, the boy on the opposite side asked first, "How is it, Kisame, have you got rid of those troublesome guys?"

Kisame put the samarums on his back aside, not too far away from his body. He sat down opposite, poured himself a cup of tea, and said in a complaining tone: "Although they got rid of them, those guys always believe in the principle of never giving up until they reach their goals. You Konoha are better than you, and your tolerance for betrayal is so high. Unlike Kisame, once you become a traitor, no matter how hard the target is, Anbu's chasers will never stop. "

Itachi ignored Kisame's complaints. After all, he was a member of the Akatsuki organization with a special mission, and the nature of the matter was completely different from the serious rebellion of Kisame.

Moreover, Kisame has a wrong sentence.

Konoha also has a poor tolerance for rebellion.

The three people in the Kingdom of Demons, because their strength is too strong, Konoha dare not provoke them, so they have not looked for trouble.

Oshemaru is too cunning, and has now become Akatsuki's logistics staff, and has completed a secret agreement with the leader of the organization, Nagato, and is protected by Nagato.

With the protection of Nagato, it may not be that simple for Konoha to attack Orochimaru.

Otherwise, Orochimaru's current life will definitely not be so easy.

As far as Itachi knows, the other Sannin is chasing after Orochimaru and has not given up so far.

With the assistance of Anbe's masters, even Orochimaru can't compete with Konoha and the front, so he can only choose to forbear.

Except for these special cases, Konoha's suppression of rebellious ninja is actually very cruel.

Not to mention Anbu, the roots led by Danzo have a worse tolerance for rebellion than Anbu.

Even if it is a rebellious ninja who has taken refuge in other forces, Genbu will sneak into the enemy's line without hesitation, and carry out assassination operations day and night until the task is completed.

"So, who is leading the team this time? It actually made you feel difficult."

Itachi asked curiously.

"Onito Mitsuki, the same family as the second generation of Mizukage, a genius ninja from the famous Onito clan, and the guard beside Mizukage today. As for the strength... it should be slightly worse than me."

Kisame's face was very depressed.

"Do you want me to fight him with you?"

Itachi suggested.

Kisame glanced at Itachi, as if he was seriously thinking about Itachi's proposal.

"If you don't want to, forget it. After all, the other party is not a simple ninja, and there are many Anbu masters around him. There are only two of us, so I'm afraid we can't do it. There are also important tasks to organize another group."

Moreover, Akatsuki's power is getting stronger and stronger. Although Kirigakure has a normal relationship with Konoha, they are also forces belonging to the traditional five major countries.

In the future, it is likely to be the main force against the Xiao organization.

Ghost Lantern Full Moon is Wuyin Village's high-end combat power. Killing such a genius ninja is also a weakening of the power of the big country.

Itachi wouldn't do such a thing that benefited Akatsuki.

If it was the Ninja from the Ghost Country who chased them down this time, that would be a different matter.

"That's right, no one knows if there are other traps waiting for me. These guys are experts in hunting down."

Kisame nodded.

Itachi was not surprised by Kisame's answer.

In fact, most of the rebels who defected to the village have a sense of awe of the past village, and don't like to have too much contact with their original village companions.

Itachi also has this strange psychology.

He doesn't like contact with Konoha's ninjas very much now.

Presumably the same is true for Kisame. For Kirigakure, I am afraid that deep down in his heart, he has always maintained a wonderful sense of awe. And this inexplicable sense of awe will prevent him from fully displaying his strength when fighting with his past companions.

Over time, this feeling of aversion to fighting with former companions will gradually deepen, to the point of being unable to extricate themselves, until death.

The atmosphere in the room suddenly became quiet. Itachi and Kisame are usually not talkative people. Most of the time, the two of them are silently guarding their own domain, keeping silent, thinking about their own affairs.

Only when performing tasks, can we find some common topics and maintain a good atmosphere.

Sitting like this for an unknown amount of time, Itachi and Kisame sitting on the soft cushion startled suddenly, a message was sent to their minds without warning, and they couldn't help but raise their heads and look at each other.

"It seems that there is no time to be in a daze here. I just got rid of Kirigakure Anbu's pursuit, and now I have a meeting again. Really..."

Kisame shook his head, and after a simple complaint, he and Itachi formed mudras with both hands at the same time, maintaining a cross-legged posture in the room, fixed.

In the quiet stone room.

Rainbow-like ripples appeared in the quiet room, shaking violently at first, then stabilizing at the same time, condensing into a substantial figure, gathering here.

Nagato opened his eyes of reincarnation, scanned the surrounding area with emotionless eyes, and nodded slightly when he saw that everyone was present.

"What's the point of calling us at this time? I'm doing important research."

The first to speak out was Belyuho, one of the first members to join the organization.

His eyes transformed into the same Sangouyu Sharingan as Itachi, releasing a very strange light, as if he was a little dissatisfied with Nagato calling him over at this time.

Nagato was not angry about Beiruhu's dissatisfaction, but said in a flat tone: "Next, I have two tasks for you."

"Two missions?"

Beliuhu narrowed his eyes.

The rest of the people were also attracted by Nagato's words.

Nagato didn't want to impress everyone, and said directly: According to Bai Jue's investigation, there is a newcomer with good potential who can be recruited into the organization. His name is Hiduan, and he is a member of the Tango Country Cult.

"Evil God Sect? Wasn't that sect already wiped out a few years ago? There are still remnants alive?"

Beliuhu was a little surprised.

"That's right, in that battle to destroy the Cult of the Evil God, most of the believers and bishops were killed, but there are accidents in everything, and Hiduan is one of the survivors. His ability is of great use to the organization. Itachi, Kisame, and the task of recruiting newcomers are entrusted to you."

Nagato glanced at Itachi and Kisame, and handed over the plan of recruiting newcomers to them.

Itachi nodded lightly, without refusing.

"Boss, the other task is..."

Kisame's gaze contained a questioning look.

"The second task is related to the tail beast."

Tail Beast!

Hearing the content related to the second mission, everyone's hearts were awe-inspiring.

The purpose of the Xiao organization is to capture the tailed beasts scattered in the hands of the great powers. The second task is related to the tailed beasts, so it is not an ordinary task and must be taken seriously.

However, ninja villages in various countries are very strict in guarding tailed beasts. It is obviously impossible for ninja villages in various countries to hand over tailed beasts.

The only way is to wait for Renchuriki to leave Ninja village, and then send people to capture him. This can also avoid large-scale conflicts with Ninja Village.

"Scorpion, Didara, this task is entrusted to the two of you. The two of you will go to the Kingdom of Waves immediately, and Bai Jue will explain the detailed situation to you."

Nagato turned his head to look in the direction of Scorpion and Didara.

"Leave it to me and Brother Scorpion, I will let the other party appreciate my art, eh."

Different from most of the gloomy team members, Didala, the youngest in the organization, has an active personality and wants to let the world recognize his explosive art.

As for catching tailed beasts or something, it's just incidental.

It is important to promote your own art.

"Fool."

Scorpion said something in a low voice.

"What do you mean, Brother Scorpion?"

Didara looked at Scorpion.

"Na no country is stationed in the army of the country of ghosts. The leader is Chiba Shiraishi and Uchiha Ruri's daughter. Although we don't know her information, but the tiger father has no dogs. If we are not careful, we will suffer."

Scorpion said the information he got.

The situation in the Kingdom of Waves is complicated, and it is by no means a good place.

Even if a ninja like him gets involved accidentally, accidents may happen.

Deidara's strength is good, but this kind of personality is easily used by the enemy and falls into the enemy's trap.

So, Scorpion turned his gaze to Nagato and said, "I need information about Chiba Kazuhime."

Although catching a tailed beast does not necessarily require a conflict with the ninjas of the Ghost Kingdom, just in case, Scorpion will not underestimate this task.

He has already seen Hinata Ayane's strength. Uchiha Ruri, who is as famous as her, once killed thousands of ninjas in Sand Hidden Village by herself, so she must be not a kind person.

Chiba Kazuhime, who inherited the blood of the Uchiha clan, naturally needs to be taken seriously.

Nagato shook his head and said: "I haven't collected much information about the other party. In short, be careful."

Itachi, who was silent at the side, suddenly said: "Be careful of the noise she makes."

"sound?"

Scorpion looked at Itachi.

Itachi seemed to be remembering something, and then replied: "She can use sound to create illusions. Before fighting her, you can block your hearing in advance. Or, use the loud explosion of explosives to cover up the sound she made."

After speaking, Itachi looked at Didara, the last piece of advice was for him.

Didara was once defeated by his Sharingan illusion, but it doesn't mean that Deidara is weak, it's just that the other party doesn't understand the characteristics of Sharingan, so he was easily captured by Sharingan.

On this point, self-confidence and Orochimaru, who he has been staring at for a long time, have also suffered.

As for the sound illusion, Didara's explosive ninjutsu may become the key to the sound illusion, depending on whether the opponent can grasp it this time.

The meeting lasted less than ten minutes and ended.

In the tea room, Kisame let go of her sealed hands, shrugged her shoulders, moved her body that wasn't too stiff, then stood up from the cushion, and said to Itachi, "It seems that this time it's going to be serious. I hope the mission on Scorpion's side will go well."

Itachi is not optimistic about this, and said: "Not necessarily, it would be fine if there is no conflict with the ghost country. Once there is a conflict, it is difficult to predict the direction in which things will evolve."

"That Chiba Kazuhime...do you know him?"

Kisame raised his eyebrows.

"I met her in a hurry when I was taking the Chunin exam, and I accidentally fell into her illusion. As for her strength, it's hard to say now. After all these years, she should have become stronger."

Itachi guessed in an uncertain tone.

He didn't know how much the opponent's strength had grown after so many years.

But one thing is for sure, being able to be sent to the Land of Waves by the high-level officials of the Kingdom of Ghosts, and even to act openly and aboveboard under the eyes of the Land of Fire, without the slightest timidity, shows that its strength cannot be underestimated.

"Then I can only be thankful that the two of them didn't conflict with the people from the Ghost Kingdom when they captured Renzhuli."

Kisame chuckled, but there was no worry on his face.

Kisame doesn't share the feeling of being concerned about the safety of his companions.

The ninjas who joined this organization were all rebels who betrayed the village, and gathered together for various purposes.

Itachi also seemed to acquiesce to Kisame's attitude. The reason why he told Scorpion and Didara this information was also to use the two of them to test Chiba Kazuhime's strength.

However, after all, it depends on whether the two sides can conflict.

After all, the 'peace' agreement between Akatsuki and Oni Nation is still some time away from the expiration date.

The fact that Sasuke entered the intelligence department to investigate the information was obtained by Hizan at the first time.

The Intelligence Department, like the Anbu, is a special department directly under Hokage, and any disturbances can't be hidden from Hirazan's eyes.

"The child Sasuke is even better than expected."

After learning what happened from Kakashi, Hirizhan took a puff of cigarette and let out such emotion.

Not only are they excellent in strength, but they are also quite flexible in their minds. As long as such talents don't die young, they will definitely be famous in the future.

"After all, the flaws in Naruto's body are a bit too big, as long as you pay a little attention, you can find something abnormal."

Standing in front of Hirazan, Kakashi nodded.

The abnormalities in Naruto's body are not necessarily entirely due to the other party's parents, but also related to the identity of Naruto.

Tailed beasts are involved, this kind of thing is not top-secret information that Sasuke can understand now.

Hizan agrees with Kakashi's point of view. In dealing with the matter of Naruto's graduation, it is indeed a bit big. As long as a Jonin with a little brain can detect the truth, it's just that there is no need to bring this kind of thing to the table.

Tailed beasts, most of the ninja are not capable of dealing with it.

This is also the reason why Rizai asked Kakashi to be the instructor of the seventh class Jonin.

From this point of view, Sasuke and Sakura are incidental products, not the main ones.

Because of the importance of Naruto, it is far more than Sasuke and Sakura.

"Master Naruto, what do you plan to do next?"

Kakashi asked Hirazan what he thought.

Finding out Naruto's true identity, and also came into contact with the large-scale defection incident of the Uchiha clan in the past. To be honest, Sasuke must have had a different idea from it.

The other party's appeal for the truth will inevitably drive his curiosity until he searches for the so-called truth.

Hizan pondered for a moment. Although Sasuke was a little curious, whether it was finding Naruto's identity or the defection of the Uchiha clan in the early stage of the Third Ninja World War, Sasuke knew that it was not a big deal.

As long as Sasuke doesn't touch the Uchiha clan extermination incident four years ago, then Hirazan doesn't need to worry about Sasuke's loyalty.

The important thing is that Sasuke will inevitably find the truth next, and communicate with the ninjas of the Uchiha clan in the kingdom of ghosts.

The murderer of Uchiha extermination is Itachi, Itachi only needs to kill this point, no matter how people from the Oni Land confuse Sasuke, Sasuke will not believe it.

Hisaki did not want Sasuke's generation to bear the cruelty of the previous generation's political struggles.

The truth of Uchiha's extermination of the clan will always be sunk in darkness, which is the best result for Konoha and Sasuke.

"Let him go. When necessary, it's okay to reveal something to him. Since Sasuke and Naruto are in the same team, they will definitely notice the power of the tailed beast in Naruto's body in the future. If you blindly hide it, maybe it will lead to bad things."

Ri Zhan expressed his opinion.

He sincerely hopes that Sasuke can fully integrate into Konoha under Kakashi's teaching, and form a brand new Konoha Uchiha clan with him as the core.

Now, compared to Sasuke, the descendant of the Uchiha clan, the Hyuga clan who has contact with the roots may be the key to the problem.

I just hope that Nizuzu can find out the branch family members who conspired with Genbu as soon as possible, otherwise, wait for the incident to erupt, maybe there will be new turmoil inside Konoha.

Because of the internal contradictions in Konoha, the battle will begin around the selection of the Fifth Hokage.

Danzo has waited for so many years, and he will not be reconciled to handing over the position of Hokage to others, because if he loses this opportunity, he will not have the chance to come back and become Hokage.

Looking at his best friend who was getting farther and farther away from him, Hirizhan sighed in his heart.

The conflicts within the village have been rooted and grown in Konoha since he became the Third Hokage.

He somewhat regretted letting Danzo stand on his own back then, and established a darker department in the Anbuthe Root.

Without his acquiescence at the beginning, the power within Konoha would not be so divided now, so that the people from the Kingdom of Demons and Orochimaru could take advantage of it.

But now it is too late to regret, so I can only try my best to save the mistakes I made at the beginning.

"I see. If he asks me again, I'll tell him part of it."

Kakashi nodded.

"That's good, there's no need to be too anxious, it doesn't matter if you slow down. Speaking of this matter, does Sasuke's Sharingan show signs of awakening?"

Hizan feels that the current Sasuke lacks everything, both strength and brains, but lacks a pair of Sharingan.

Once the Sharingan is awakened, Sasuke's strength will be doubled immediately.

This is the power of Blood Succession Boundary.

is a powerful ability dreamed of by countless ninjas in the ninja world.

Especially when the ninjas of Blood Successor Limits can continue the bloodline in the form of a family, compared with the secret family of ninjutsu that may be stolen, Blood Successor Limits is difficult to be captured by outsiders, and it will form a very terrifying background.

Nebu spent a lot of time and energy in making Mutun ninjas, but Tianzang was the only one who succeeded.

And the blood inheritance boundary that can rely on the continuation of blood, the artificial blood inheritance boundary technology is too difficult.

I have never heard of any ninja village that can make batches of blood-successor limit ninjas.

"According to the current situation, Sasuke has no signs of opening Sharingan, probably because of the lack of real fighting."

Kakashi replied.

Hi Zhan didn't doubt Kakashi's words, and it was the same reason when Itachi awakened Sharingan.

Under the protection of Konoha, Itachi is difficult to come into contact with real battles, so before going out to perform tasks, Sharingan also has no signs of awakening.

It was not until he was out on a mission that Itachi's Sharingan suddenly opened.

Since then, Itachi's strength has begun to improve by leaps and bounds.

Sasuke needs to go through a real battle if he wants to awaken the power of Sharingan.

"Then..."

At this moment, a knock on the door interrupted Hizan's words.

"Come in."

Ri Zhan said to the people outside the door.

After getting Hizhan's permission, people from outside opened the door and came in.

Wearing Anbu's attire with an animal mask on his face.

Although he couldn't see his face clearly, Kakashi recognized who he was at a glance.

Tianzang.

In the past, it was the root of the artificial wood escape blood successor limit ninja.

After he temporarily left Anbu, he took over the duties of Anbu instead.

"The minister is here too."

Tianzang's voice came from under the mask, seeming a little surprised.

"Come here to talk about something. Why, do you want to report some important information here at this time?"

Kakashi asked casually.

Tianzang nodded, and said in a complaining tone: "Yes, since you left, Minister, I have been very busy here. I am so tired these days that I am almost out of breath."

He heard that after Kakashi temporarily left Anbu, his daily life was very leisurely, and he could keep collecting guidance fees from his subordinates, so he lived a carefree life.

It was like a happy vacation, which made him envious.

"Well, those who can do more work."

Kakashi patted Tenzo on the shoulder comfortingly, and let out a haha.

Compared to the heavy work of Minister Anbu, the life of guiding Jonin is indeed no different from a vacation, which makes him gradually feel reluctant to leave.

After recounting the old days, Tianzang then continued: "Master Hokage, the situation in the land of waves has changed."

Didn't care that Kakashi was also here, Tianzang directly reported this information to Hizhan.

"what happened?"

Ri Zhan paused.

Tianzang replied: "According to what the leader of the Lei Guang Group told us, they discovered the involvement of the fourth force in the Kingdom of Waves."

"The fourth force?"

"Yes, it's the underground black market bounty hunter group Ziyuezhong. Because they fought with the people from the Kingdom of Ghosts, they were discovered by the Lei Guang Group. According to the people from the Wave Country Agricultural and Industrial Group, they did not hire bounty hunters other than the Lei Guang Group."

In other words, the Ziyue people in the underground black market are hired by the fourth force besides the Kingdom of Fire, the Kingdom of Waves, and the Kingdom of Ghosts.

Appearing in the Kingdom of Waves at this node, Tianzang didn't think it was a simple accident.

Ziyue people were exterminated by the army of the ghost country as early as a few years ago, and their vitality was severely injured.

Dare to provoke the Kingdom of Ghosts at this time, which is obviously abnormal.

Tianzang wondered whether the ninjas and samurai who fought against the ninjas of the ghost country belonged to the Ziyue people, rather than other forces pretending to provoke new conflicts in the country of Waves in the name of the Ziyue people.

After hearing this, Hirizhan frowned and fell into thought.

"What did the Agricultural and Industrial Corps say?"

The home field is in the country of Nami, and now the agricultural and industrial groups control most of the country of Nami. Their attitude will determine Konoha's next policy.

"They hope that our side will complete the agreement as soon as possible. The kingdom of ghosts has begun to extend its palms to the entire area of the land of wave D, and the rest of the area is gradually being eroded by the power of the kingdom of ghosts."

This result was not beyond the expectations of everyone present.

"Let the people from the Communications Department reply there, saying that Konoha will deploy relevant actions as soon as possible."

Ri Zhan didn't hesitate for too long, and gave Tianzang an order.

"yes."

Looking at Tenzo's disappearing figure, Kakashi also said to Hirazan, "Then, I'll take my leave too, Hokage-sama."

After finishing speaking, Kakashi turned and left.
