Under the vortex mask, the corners of Obsidian's mouth rose slightly, "Not bad, using the information about Homusubi in exchange for your brother's life, this is the deal I want to discuss with you!"
"Good!"
Itachi looked at Obsidian and nodded without much hesitation.
Itachi doesn't know why this mysterious Akatsuki member in front of him suddenly came to find him, but this doesn't prevent him from taking the opportunity to keep Sasuke safe for the time being.
"I'll come to you again!"
After leaving this sentence, Obsidian retracted into the vortex and disappeared without a trace.
A moment later, Obsidian appeared in a remote grove outside of Muye Village.
At this time, Zetsu poked his body out of the ground and said, "The reconstruction of Muye Village seems to have changed the Perception Barrier, I can no longer enter and exit as I did before."
As one of the five great Shinobi Villages, Muye Village has always been under the protection of the Perception Barrier.
It's just that because the previous Perception Barrier has been running for a long time, the frequency of the barrier is well known to many people, so in the original timeline, people like Orochimaru and Itachi can easily bypass the Perception Barrier and enter and exit Konoha at will.
This time, because the village suffered a catastrophe, the Perception Barrier covering the entire village was destroyed, so instead of repairing the damaged Perception Barrier bit by bit, it's better to build a new one. Therefore, the village took advantage of the reconstruction to design a new Perception Barrier.
Obsidian chuckled lightly, "Don't worry, it won't be a problem soon."
Zetsu looked at Obsidian and said, "It seems that your operation this time went very smoothly!"
"Well, I developed two informants in Muye Village, one of them is the Anbu of Muye Village, and the other is a member of the Uchiha Clan." With a smile, the masked man continued, "They should be able to find out something that I'm interested in."
Zetsu asked doubtfully, "Can they be trusted?"
Obsidian recalled the scene when he first came into contact with Hyōjin and Itachi.
Hyōjin's anger when he was threatened, his surprise when he heard that the 'caged bird' could be freed, and Itachi's worried expression when he heard about Sasuke. These scenes flashed past Obsidian's eyes like a lantern.
Collecting his thoughts, Obsidian said lightly, "They are just two mediocre people who are bound by boredom. They can't do anything."
"I hope your informant can help us find out more about Amatsukami," Jue Xiao said.
Obsidian then asked, "Is there any news from Orochi Maru? The Nine Tails' Jinchuriki must be mastered as soon as possible. We can't delay any longer."
Zetsu shrugged and said helplessly, "Orochi Maru is very careful. I'm afraid it will take some time to find him."
Obsidian also knows that Orochi Maru is very cunning, so he said, "Continue to contact Orochi Maru with the excuse of exchanging hostages. As long as he still covets Sasuke, he will definitely reveal a flaw."
Zetsu nodded and said, "Okay."
Obsidian pondered for a moment and said, "Pick another clone to be responsible for the two informants that I will develop today!"
…
In the village.
After Obsidian left, Itachi quickly found Zhishui and told Zhishui about the Akatsuki organization looking for him. Immediately, the two of them went directly to Hyōjin's house.
They weren't worried that the masked-man would spy on them since they were on full alert. Even with his Divine Aura, the masked-man wouldn't be able to get close to them without them noticing.
As soon as he saw Zhishui and Itachi coming together, Hyōjin smiled and welcomed them into the house.
After sitting down, Hyōjin asked Itachi, "If I'm not wrong, the Akatsuki organization should be looking for you, right?"
Obsidian can use Ningci to threaten Hyōjin, so naturally, he will also use Sasuke to threaten Itachi. This is something that can be expected.
Itachi was a little surprised, "Senpai, how did you guess it?"
Hyōjin smiled casually and said, "Because they also found me."
"I see!" After a short pause, Itachi said, "The one who found me is the Akatsuki member wearing the Vortex Mask. Because he is in the state of Hibernation, I can't find a chance to attack him, so I can only pretend to agree to his request and help him investigate Amatsukami's' Homusubi '."
Zhishui asked, "Senpai, don't tell me that they are looking for you to help them investigate Amatsukami?"
Kuroto nodded while sipping his tea leisurely.
Obsidian is looking for Hyōjin because of his identity as a member of the Anbu, but in fact, only Hyōjin, Three Generations, Zhuan Xiao Chun, and a few other people know that Muye and Amatsukami don't have any written cooperation agreement, only a verbal agreement. Therefore, Muye doesn't know much more about Amatsukami than the Akatsuki, so it's impossible to get information from Muye.
Zhishui and Itachi looked at each other and were speechless.
The Akatsuki's informants are all Amatsukami's people, and even Amatsukami's leader is among them, which makes them not know whether to laugh or cry.
Itachi then asked, "Senpai, what should we do next?"
Putting down the teacup, Hyōjin said slowly, "This is an opportunity for us. They want Amatsukami's information, and we can use this method to give them the information we want them to know."
Zhishui added, "We can also set up an ambush!"
Hyōjin nodded.
Obsidian has suffered a lot in the hands of Amatsukami, so he will be very careful at the beginning, and he will even ask others to do it, but once he is sure that Hyōjin and Itachi are not a threat, he will definitely let down his guard, and at that time, Hyōjin can set up an inescapable net and easily get rid of him.
Thinking of this, Hyōjin glanced at Itachi. At present, Itachi's Sword of Totsukami is the best means to restrain Obsidian.
When Itachi and Zhishui found the two artifacts, Sword of Totsukami and Yagami no Kagami, Hyōjin asked them about the ins and outs of these two artifacts in detail.
After learning that these two artifacts are really in a spiritual state, and that they are bound to the user's spiritual body, Hyōjin felt quite regretful.
At the same time, this also made him understand why Itachi, who was about to die in the original world, entrusted everything to his younger brother Sasuke, even leaving his Mangekyou Sharingan to Sasuke, but he didn't give Sasuke the Totsuken and the Yagami Mirror, these two powerful artifacts.
It turns out that it's not that Itachi didn't want to give them to Sasuke, but these two artifacts are bound to Itachi's spiritual body. Only when his spiritual body is completely destroyed can the artifacts change owners. And when Itachi's spiritual body is destroyed, Itachi won't have the ability to entrust the two artifacts to Sasuke, so he can only choose the way he obtained the artifacts, setting up a test for future generations, letting the future generations try to use their luck to see if they can control the artifacts.
