Chapter 438 Root

"In this way, the second tailed beast is also successfully in place."

In an empty underground space, Nagato raised his head slightly, staring at the dead wood giant whose half body protruded from the ground in front of him. There are nine eyes on the giant's face, two of which are open, and the other seven are still tightly closed.

And after Nagato's careful perception, he found that the breath of the dead wood giant was more solid and terrifying than before.

The dead wood giant in the past, in his eyes, was just a large psychic beast with huge strange power. Although it was powerful, it was not invincible.

But after successfully absorbing the tailed beast, it seemed to have its own will, and it was no longer a dead thing.

Especially after absorbing the second head-tailed beast, this feeling became stronger and stronger.

Although this level is not too powerful for Nagato, but continue to let the outsider golem absorb the tailed beast, he believes that sooner or later, the golem will show the mighty power of the most powerful tailed beast in ancient timesthe ten tails, and settle all dissatisfaction!

No matter how many times I look at it, I feel that this is something that is difficult to imitate with artificial technology.

From the shadow of the underground space, a hoarse voice sounded and walked out leisurely.

With jet-black long hair, a handsome face, and a feminine temperament, coupled with a pair of golden snake eyes, his identity is also ready to be revealedOshemaru.

"After all, this is the 'source' of Chakra. As far as ninjas are concerned, it is indeed a difficult mountain to climb. The next goal is to capture the tailed beasts and put the rest of them in place as soon as possible."

Nagato said.

"So, have you figured out which tailed beast to attack next?"

After the arrest of Erwei, now the Akatsuki organization has no way to completely turn to the secret to plan, and some information has already been leaked.

Yun Yin, who lost Erwei, conducted a rigorous investigation into the matter.

No matter how well the Xiao organization hides, there will still be some clues left in the outside world.

Through these clues, twisting them into a complete clue is not difficult for Ninja Village in a big country, it's just a matter of time.

"Mr. Orochimaru thinks which tailed beast should be attacked next?"

For the time being, Nagato has no idea about capturing the next Tailed Beast.

The protection of Renzhuli in each village is too strict.

Even Konoha, which looks very loose, has arranged a lot of dark parts in the dark to protect Nine Tails Jinchuriki. Even Jiraiya, one of the Sannin, went to the country of Nami to personally **** him.

It was just because Nine-Tails Jinchuriki was too immature, so Nagato didn't intend to make Nine-Tails Jinchuriki his primary arresting target from the beginning.

Only strong renjuriki are worth preparing for an arrest plan, and weak renjuriki can be easily captured when the time comes.

Moreover, in this way, Konoha can also be temporarily not completely dragged into the quagmire of chaos caused by the tailed beast, so that Akatsuki can have more time to operate.

"In the case of Sano, his Jinchuriki is the Fourth Mizukage Yakura. According to intelligence, he is very powerful, and beside him is a ninja with both perception and white eyes, and the ghost full moon who is known as "Tendo". He cooperates with the Anbe elite jonin of Kirigakure Village... It is conservatively estimated that more than two groups of members need to be dispatched together to capture him. Moreover, the battle location cannot be placed in Kirigakure Village."

Orochimaru made a pertinent analysis.

The strength itself is at the level of Gokage, plus the power to perfectly control the tailed beast, every guard around him is very powerful. If it is said that Nine Tails Jinchuriki is too weak, there is no need to deliberately target it. Then, Sanwei Jinchuriki, because the difficulty of arrest is at the highest level, it would be unwise to go against it at this time.

Nagato listened quietly, without speaking.

Oshemaru continued: "The next target should be placed on one tail, four tails, six tails, and eight tails. Compared with the simplest nine tails and the very difficult three tails and seven tails, only these four tails are the most suitable."

Actually, it is more appropriate to arrest Nine-Tails Jinchuriki at this time.

Although it doesn't matter if the easiest Renzhuli is dealt with last, it is not a bad thing to catch him earlier.

But doing so has two disadvantages.

The current Konoha is only investigating Akatsuki, and has not really matched up. And once Nine-Tails Jinchuriki is captured, Konoha will definitely investigate to the end. This is the first disadvantage.

In addition, there is also a 'spy' from Konoha in the organizationUchiha Itachi.

At this time, the idea of capturing Kyuubi was revealed. Even Orochimaru couldn't guarantee that Itachi would make some unimaginable move, whether it would hinder the organization's next move.

For this Uchiha junior who can defeat himself with illusion, Orochimaru is also very afraid in his heart.

I wish the other party would die earlier, so that I could get the other party's body and Kaleidoscope Sharingan for research.

But against Itachi with personal strength, Orochimaru is not completely sure.

Now Akatsuki also needs Itachi's strength, and cannot easily give up such high-end combat power. In the future, the opponent will also be one of the main forces to deal with Uchiha Ruri.

And all of this, Itachi is based on conditions.

That is, the organization is not allowed to attack Konoha before he dies.

This naturally also includes Nine Tails Jinchuriki.

In other words, if Konoha's Jinchuriki is to be attacked, the first thing Akatsuki will deal with is Itachi.

In this way, the loss to the organization will be very large.

After all, the Nine-Tails Jinchur is too weak, and there is no essential difference in the eyes of Orochimaru to catch him later or earlier.

He didn't believe that in just a few years, Nine-Tails Jinzhuli could be able to fight against Samsara Eye.

Even the yellow flash that beat Yan Yin and Yun Yin to autism at the beginning could not do this.

In Orochimaru's eyes, Nagato's strength has already surpassed Konoha's yellow flash. Nine-tailed Jinchuriki's arrest can naturally be slowed down a bit, and itachi can be appeased by the way.

"As for Eight Weiss, let's put it aside for the time being. Erwei has already been captured from Yunyin. At this time, we should slow down so as not to push the other party into a hurry."

Nagato thought about it.

I think it's better to be careful when facing Yunyin.

Lei Ying's brain is not normal, and it is not a good thing to push Yun Yin into a hurry.

"Then you mean..."

Oshemaru asked with great interest.

"Ichio belongs to Sand Yin. Now Sand Yin and Konoha are forming an alliance to check and balance the kingdom of ghosts. It is not good to act rashly here."

Although it is a good time to take advantage of the joint Chunin exam a few months later to capture the one tail Jinchuriki of Sand Yin.

However, considering the international balance, Sand Yin and Konoha are the main force against the kingdom of ghosts, and Nagato does not want to confront the kingdom of ghosts so soon.

During the operation of the Akatsuki organization, someone must help the Akatsuki organization to partially contain the power of the ghost country and attract firepower.

Otherwise, the Kingdom of Ghosts will wait for the contract to end and confront the Akatsuki organization directly. Unless the leader himself does it himself, the rest of the members will definitely be suppressed by the Kingdom of Ghosts with unparalleled force and blood.

Because of the intelligence network organized by Akatsuki, there is no way to lay it in the country of ghosts.

This means that the Akatsuki organization has lost the opportunity to go first.

Nagato has no idea of any terrible industrial weapons secretly manufactured by the Demon Kingdom.

He understands that the kingdom of ghosts is not only good at air combat, but the power of steel warships at sea has not been tried by any country so far.

But Nagato absolutely does not believe that that kind of steel ship with terrifying oppressive force is just a toy-like decoration.

Therefore, the role of Konoha and Sand Yin in restraining the kingdom of ghosts is very critical and important.

If you attack the tailed beasts in Hidden Sand Village, it means that you will divert the attention of Hidden Sand, making it impossible for Sand Hidden to concentrate on confronting the kingdom of ghosts.

Capturing the Tailed Beast is not just sending out a group of members randomly. After knowing the location of Jinchuriki, they can directly capture it. Instead, it is necessary to combine the international environment and the characteristics of ninja villages in various countries, and start to break through one by one. One can imagine the disadvantages to Akatsuki in order to prevent the forces of the great powers from uniting in advance.

"Then, there are only four-tails and six-tails left to choose from."

Oshemaru nodded, it was similar to what he had come up with.

Considering the current international environment, Sand Yin and Konoha cannot be targeted for the time being. The country of ghosts must have foreign aid to divert and divert firepower.

"Six-tailed Jinchuriki is hidden by Kirigakure, and it is not sure who it is. But even so, the power next to Six-tailed Jinchuriki is bound to be inferior to Yakura who is Mizukage. In addition to Six-tailed Jinchuriki, Four-tailed Jinchuriki is the long-famed Iwagakushi JninOld Purple."

Nagato said.

A sinister smile appeared on the corner of Orochimaru's mouth, as if he remembered something and said:

"I heard that the relationship between Four-tailed Jinchuriki and Onoki is not good. Because of their political differences, the two often confronted each other in high-level meetings. Onoki scolded Old Murasaki more than once, and was extremely dissatisfied with him. But later, because of the disappearance of Goo, Onogi had to rearrange Laozi's residence and keep him under strict protection."

Bai Jue knew about this kind of thing after a little inquiring.

Four Tails Jinchuriki Lao Zi is a powerful ninja of the same era as their Sannin.

During the Second Ninja World War, he had already achieved quite a reputation.

Although it is not a perfect jinchuriki, decades of growth have also made the opponent familiar with the manipulation of tailed beast chakra, which is much more difficult to deal with than ordinary jinchuriki.

"Does it disagree with Tsuchikage's politics? It seems that this can be used as a breakthrough to capture the four-tailed Jinchuriki."

Nagato was thoughtful.

"In Yan Yin, there used to be root spies planted there by Danzo, and now that intelligence department is still operating."

Orochimaru reminds this.

"Danzo?"

Nagato frowned slightly.

Honestly speaking, his perception of Danzo is really a bit complicated.

But I have to admire the root organization created by the other party.

If there is any place in Konoha that is difficult for the kingdom of ghosts to penetrate, it can only be the root base established by Danzo.

There are many unknown secrets hidden in that place. Even Kakashi Hatake, the spy placed by Orochimaru in Konoha, kept secret about it, and couldn't know all the secrets inside.

Because it is the darkest and most shady place in Konoha, it has become the last clean land in Konoha that has not been infiltrated by the kingdom of ghosts.

Have to say, this is an irony.

"Before I left Konoha, there was a medical ninja named Yakushi Nonoyu in Nebu, who was once the head of the branch intelligence agency that Genbu installed in Yanyin Village. Although Yakushi Nonoyu later died due to some accidents, the intelligence system she established in Yanyin Village was not destroyed, and was later reassigned by Danzo to take over. Now in Yanyin Village, if you want to find the intelligence leader belonging to Nebu, you can only find the entry point from Danzo."

Orochimaru said so.

"The power of the root seems to be much more terrifying than imagined."

Nagato sighed.

"Even the ferret is controlled by him and treated as a plaything. His ability to calculate people's hearts is indeed terrifying. As long as there is a little darkness in his body, he will be assimilated and eroded by him, and he will start to work for him unnaturally."

Orochimaru was slightly silent.

It is precisely because of this that ninjas like Yakushi Nonoyu are abandoned by the roots.

Willing to lay down the **** blade and become a redeemer is tantamount to open hostility with Danzo.

Thinking of the woman who was looking for light in the dark, Orochimaru felt a sigh of relief.

This dark ninja world cannot accommodate too much light and kindness.

Everyone is trying their best to survive.

That's why he wanted to see if Nagato could create the so-called peace and end the disaster of war that had never stopped for hundreds of thousands of years.

"So, if you want to get four tails more easily, you have to cooperate with Danzo's roots again."

The last time I cooperated with Danzo, Akatsuki helped Genbu to pacify the Uchiha clan inside Konoha, and the two sides used Uchiha Itachi as a bargaining chip to start exchanging interests and exchanging needs. It can be said that the cooperation was very pleasant.

Akatsuki successfully weakened Konoha's strength, and the root also cut off one of the biggest obstacles on the way forward.

"I didn't have a very pleasant deal with him last time. If I want to let him make a move this time, I guess it will really bleed once."

Orochimaru stared at Nagato and said.

Although without the assistance of the roots, the Xiao organization can use its own power to capture the four tails, but it is still not safe after all, and the risk of failure is too great.

Oshemaru believes that even if it is to increase the success rate of capturing four tails by 10%, Nagato will do his best to do it.

Even if you pay a huge price to buy the root information, judging from the final return, it is completely worth it.

"Then contact Danzo, please Mr. Orochimaru."

"No problem. But what about the newcomer? I heard that he still lacks a teammate. Like me, that guy, Beiruhu, doesn't like going out. And his research has reached a critical moment, so he can't give up."

Oshemaru refers to Hidan, a newly joined member of the Cult of the Evil God.

Being able to be favored by the organization must have its own advantages.

"Let's let this kind of thing happen, Oyajo Yan rejected us, otherwise, the Blood Inheriting Boundary of the Blood Pond Clan would also be a good help. However, I heard that the leader of the Lightning Squad who is active in the Land of Waves seems to be a remnant of the Blood Pond Clan."

Nagato suddenly remembered something.

The blood pool clan was one of the powerful ninja clan that once ran rampant in the Warring States Period.

The overall strength, although not as good as the top wealthy families such as Senju and Uchiha, was also famous and powerful in the Warring States Period, and was hired by daimyo in many countries at that time.

Finally, because of the marriage problem, he and Lei Zhiguo daimyo got together.

But successes also marry, and failures also marry.

Finally, he was framed by the daimyo wife of the country of thunder at that time. He lost everything politically and was forced to move to a barren land.

When I found out later, the Blood Pool family had already perished.

The person who exterminated the clan was none other than Oyajo Yan, who later became a weapons dealer.

A powerful ninja who can talk and laugh happily even in the face of Orochimaru, one of the three ninjas.

"It stands to reason that the Xuezhichi clan was indeed wiped out by Oyajoyan. As for the leader of the Leiguang Regiment... I also went to investigate because of curiosity, but the results of the investigation were very unsatisfactory. I don't know where she came from, and I don't know what relationship she has with Oyajoyan."

Orochimaru was depressed.

"Can you recruit her?"

"It's a bit difficult. As you know, the mercenaries in the underground black market are only interested in money. It is not an easy task to subdue them."

Orochimaru shook his head helplessly.

"Forget it, Fei Duan's team members, I will arrange another one. After all, there are no suitable candidates right now, and the rest of the teams have already been fixed. The most important thing at present is to cooperate with Genbu to get Siwei as soon as possible."

Hearing what Orochimaru said, Nagato also knew that there was not much hope of recruiting the Lei Guangtuan, so he had to give up.

Oshemaru nodded, and undertook to cooperate with Danzo.

Dealing with Danzo is not easy. When cooperating, you must be vigilant to prevent being bitten by the root.

"After so long, does Orochimaru want to cooperate again?"

In the dim corridor, Danzo was stopped by a ninja.

A ninja followed on his left and right.

They are different from the general root members. They don't wear masks, but directly show their real appearance.

On the left is a young man about twenty-five years old. He is tall and has orange hair tied into a short ponytail. He wears a Konoha Ninja forehead protector on his forehead. His face is expressionless, giving people an aura that strangers should not enter.

On the right is a slightly thin man, judging from his height, he is about fifteen years old.

The face is covered with black protective gear, only the nose and mouth are exposed, and the whole body is tightly wrapped. Even the hands are covered by black gloves, as if hiding some ulterior secret.

"Yes, Danzo-sama."

It was a young ninja who was nearly twenty years old and blocked Danzang's way.

Silver-gray hair, wearing a pair of round-frame glasses, the smile on his face looks gentle and elegant, giving people a kind and completely trustworthy feeling.

It is the pharmacist pocket.

On the one hand, he is a Konoha ninja, and at the same time serves the roots and Orochimaru. He has several roles and is an excellent multi-faceted spy.

He stood up from the ground, pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose, and glanced at the three of Danzo intentionally or unintentionally.

Besides Danzo, of the other two ninjas, only Yamanakakaze from the mountain clan on the left is more familiar. As for the teenage ninja with only his mouth and nose exposed, he is not particularly familiar with it.

I only know her name as Yuyue Takugen. It is said that she can use special bugs and was trained by Danzo as a close friend to replace Yuyue Ryoma who died in the rain country.

is his main focus.

Being able to be trusted by Danzo and regarded as a substitute for Younv Ryoma means that this young man named "Younv Take Root" may have terrible potential, and even Danzang can't help but be tempted and use it for himself.

Konoha never lacks geniuses, especially those ninjas who inherit secret arts.

They send elite talents to Anbu and Gengen every year, which is undoubtedly the most important and unshakable cornerstone of Konoha.

"Tell me, what does Orochimaru want to get from me this time?"

Although the road was blocked, Danzo was a little upset, but he still patiently let Yao Shidou continue to talk.

"Oshemaru-sama, the intelligence agency of Iwagakure Village, wants to obtain information about the Four-Tails Jinchuriki, and... when the time is right, I hope that the root can assist in the operation."

Dou smiled slightly, conveying the meaning of Orochimaru.

Four tails

Danzo heard this, closed his eyes silently, and the expression on his face became extremely scary.

Du Dou's face was covered with cold sweat, and he barely managed a smile.

"How about it, Danzo-sama, do you want to cooperate with Oshemaru-sama this time?"

asked around.

Danzo opened his eyes, his eyes were like sharp knives, and he stabbed at Dou's body. Dou felt his body sinking, and couldn't help taking a step back, looking at Danzo vigilantly, for fear that the other party would strike directly.

Yan Zhongfeng and Yuyue Togen also felt Danzo's will, and their eyes locked on the bag.

Especially for Younu Qugen, Dou felt an aura from him that made his hair stand on end.

This coercion came quickly and dissipated quickly.

Danzo didn't mean to solve the problem by hand, but just gave the other party a warning, let the other party understand that they should not always engage in some annoying little tricks in Konoha recently.

"The old man can assist his organization to gain control of Four Tails. But the old man has to make two requests. The first request is that the old man needs a piece of information about the kingdom of ghosts. The second request is that the old man still lacks one thing..."

Danzo stared at the pocket.

Doudo gritted his teeth and asked, "Master Danzo, please tell me."

Danzo curbed his murderous aura and kept silent.

Hold the crutch in your hand, slowly lift it up until the crutch and your arm are kept in a parallel line, and then stop.

Looking at the tip of the crutch, only a finger away from his own eyes, Dou suddenly fell silent, as if he understood something.

"You can't be the master of this matter, let your master come and discuss it in person."

Saying that, Danzo put down his crutches, walked forward step by step, passed by Dou, and left without looking back with Shanzhongfeng and Younuqugen.
