Dark clouds covered the city, and rain continued to fall.
Rain Village was covered with a layer of hazy mist and water vapor, and it looked beautiful from above.
Tendo Pain, Konan, Jue, Moonless Water, Han Bing, Orochimaru, and Sasori of the Red Sand wore black robes with red clouds and profound rings on their hands. They stood at the edge of the twenty-second floor of the central steel tower and looked down at the beautiful scenery.
There was something wrong with the way the first plenary meeting of Akatsuki was held, but who cared about it?
After a while, Tendo Pain spoke first.
"The organization now has six people, and we will act in groups of two. Little South and I will be in a group, Zetsu and Yuki Hanbing will be in a group, Orochi Maru and Sasori will be in a group. "
"Wait a minute."
Orochi Maru interrupted him, but his golden pupils were looking at Hiryu Hanbing as he chuckled, "I don't trust anyone here, so I refuse to form a group."
Little South turned to look at Orochi Maru and said, "Although you have joined the Akatsuki for a short time, it is indeed too early to talk about trust, and because of this, we have to form a group."
Orochi Maru sneered, "In other words … we will supervise each other? There is no trust at all. "
"This is to prevent someone from leaking the secrets of the Akatsuki, and at the same time to increase the success rate of the mission. After all, our current main task is to recruit dangerous defectors from all the major countries, and it is easy to have an accident, isn't it, Orochi Maru?" Little South said.
Orochi Maru smiled but didn't say anything.
Indeed, if Tendo Pain was the only one who came in contact with him, he might not have stopped!
"What is the secret of the Akatsuki?" Sasori asked in a deep voice.
After he fought with Little South in the Wind Country, he was recruited by Little South with a huge amount of money and a large number of puppet materials, so he didn't know the real goal.
"The purpose of the Akatsuki's existence is for the peace of the Shinobi World!"
Tendo Pain recited Akatsuki's short-term plan, medium-term goal, and final goal vividly and emotionally. Unfortunately, the several 'members' didn't give him any face and didn't applaud.
"Collect the Nine Tailed Beasts, destroy the Five Great Villages, destroy the old order, let everyone in the Shinobi World feel the pain of losing their loved ones, and rebuild peace on this basis …"
Scorpio said, "Boring, but doing this will allow me to obtain enough puppet materials."
"You're crazy. You want to steal the nine tailed beasts from the five hidden villages …" Orochi Maru sneered. His laughter was hoarse and low, like the sound of metal scraping against each other in the middle of the night. It was ear-piercing and terrifying.
"Shinobi World Peace … Master Pain is also full today." Han Bing couldn't help but complain.
Little South glanced at Wuyue and Han Bing. Full? In other words, he had nothing better to do. Did he mean that Payne was meddling in other people's business?
Although he was very reserved, he was indeed sharp-tongued.
Tendo Pain stood there. He was a puppet. He was emotionless, and he wasn't angry.
"No problem, it's decided." Pain said coldly and then looked at Zetsu.
Zetsu smiled and slowly said, "Then, our next target is the Mist's S-Class Ninja, the original Seven Swordsmen of the Mist!"
Actor Wuyue immediately sneered, "That guy also defected?"
Zetsu nodded, "After the Seven Swordsmen of the Mist were defeated by Wood Leaf Ninja Dai, their status in the Mist has plummeted. According to the intelligence, the Watermelon Mountain Pufferfish has turned to the Fourth Mizukage, while Juzo and Kurosawa have defected from the village. However, there is no trace of Kurosawa."
"Orochi Maru, Sasori, I'll leave it to you." Pain ordered.
"Since it's the Mist Ninja, Yuuki Maru is very suitable." Orochi Maru refuted.
"Isn't he called Yuuki Hanbing?" Sasori asked in a bad mood.
Little South explained, "That's the name he took after joining the organization."
As for whether the organization was the Akatsuki or The Abyss, that's another topic.
Orochi Maru looked at Yuuki Hanbing and smiled.
"Zetsu and Hanbing are responsible for collecting information, so the task of picking up Juzo will be given to you and Sasori." Pain said decisively.
Orochi Maru and Sasori looked at each other and nodded.
Then the six people talked about other trivial issues, such as funds, money, activities, etc. Unfortunately, Little South refused because the organization was just established and lacked funds.
Several people thought that it was a pity.
…
"Is this the Wood Leaf? It's so big! "
Spider stood at the Wood Leaf gate and looked at the people coming and going. He listened to the conversations around him, the sound of horses and carriages, and the noise from farther away. He couldn't help but show some envy.
Looking around, Spider saw two ninjas wearing Wood Leaf standing at the gate of the village. He quickly retracted his gaze and then entered the Wood Leaf.
"The next step is to find Waterstop!"
Although Spider was a newcomer, he was very experienced. He first went to the grocery store to buy some cheap small things, and took the opportunity to inquire about the Uchiha clan's settlement.
When he arrived at the Uchiha clan, he used the identity of Waterstop's friend to inquire about Waterstop's home through the Uchiha clan.
Unfortunately, there was no one at home. At this time, Waterstop was in the second training ground, training with the members of the Anbu's sixth team. He didn't drag his tired body back until the evening.
"Waterstop -sama!!"
Spider saw Waterstop from afar and hurriedly greeted him, showing a simple and honest smile, but his blind eye was a bit dazzling.
"You are?" Waterstop was startled and showed a puzzled look.
The smile on Spider's face became more and more forced: "Waterstop -sama, I am Spider, the Spider of the Wind Demon clan. Do you remember the River Country …"
Spider was almost 30 years old this year, but in front of Waterstop, who was in his teens, he called him 'Lord' and 'you' … humble!
After Spider's reminder, Waterstop finally remembered: "So it's you!"
When Aburame Yui took him and Cold Wind to the River Country to catch phosphor worms, they met Spider, but the latter only led them for a few days. Other than that, they didn't have any friendship. Why did he suddenly come to find him?
Was it really like what Cold Wind said, he was going to join him?
Waterstop looked at Spider with some hesitation. Since he was a guest, he should invite Spider to his home for tea, but he was afraid that Spider would misunderstand him.
Spider didn't know Waterstop's psychological play, otherwise, he would cry until he fainted!
"Waterstop -sama, I have important information to report to you!" Spider said mysteriously, looking at the passers-by from time to time.
Waterstop still had a smile on his face and said: "Say it, this is Wood Leaf, it doesn't matter."
Spider was a little regretful that he couldn't enter Waterstop -sama's home, but it didn't matter, there would be opportunities in the future!
"Waterstop -sama."
Spider quietly came to Waterstop's side and lowered his voice, "I have information about Orochi Maru -sama … Cough, I have information about Orochi Maru!"
Waterstop's expression turned cold, and asked: "He went to the River Country?"
"As expected of Waterstop -sama!"
Spider humbly praised, "I haven't said it yet, but you have already guessed it!"
Waterstop frowned slightly: "In addition to Orochi Maru, have you seen Jiraiya-sama?"
Spider shook his head and said: "But before I left the River Country, I saw someone fighting with Orochi Maru from a distance, and they also used the Four Purple Flame Formation, but I don't know if it was Jiraiya-sama or not."
No!
Waterstop thought to himself.
The Four Purple Flame Formation requires four Jonin to work together, but the task of hunting down Orochi Maru has been fully entrusted to Jiraiya by Yondaime-sama, so it is impossible to send someone else. In other words, the one fighting with Orochi Maru at that time was not Jiraiya!
Waterstop pondered: Could it be that the enemy country's ninja wanted to torture Orochi Maru for the secrets of Wood Leaf? Or … Root?
The relationship between Danzō and Orochi Maru was originally very close, but since the last high-level meeting, the two betrayed each other, and the relationship was completely broken. Danzō wanted to kill Orochi Maru to silence him, so there is nothing wrong with that!
"Waterstop -sama? Waterstop -sama? "Spider saw Waterstop in a daze and hurriedly whispered.
"Oh, what's wrong?" Waterstop came back to his senses and remembered that there was still Spider.
"Waterstop -sama, is this information useful to you?" Spider looked expectant.
Waterstop thought for a moment and nodded: "I understand, I will ask Naruto -sama to give you a generous reward later!"
"Ah?"
Spider was startled: "No, I, I don't want money, I …"
"Spider, I will report this information to Naruto -sama first. Don't leave Wood Leaf for the next few days." Waterstop didn't give Spider a chance to 'make trouble', and quickly disappeared with a tap of his foot.
Spider wanted to chase after him, but the other party was Waterstop in a blink of an eye, and disappeared without a trace, and there was no way to catch up.
The Earth Spider was extremely upset. All he wanted was a warm embrace. Was this request too high?
After Waterstop left, he rushed straight to Naruto's building. At this time, he didn't know if Yondaime had returned home from work to accompany his wife and children.
Waterstop's speed became faster and faster, and he turned into an afterimage, flashing between the houses.
Half an hour later, he arrived at Naruto's building. Fortunately, Po Shui Mun was still at work.
After letting the guard on duty report, Waterstop walked into Naruto's office.
But before entering, he suddenly looked back at the guard outside the door with some surprise.
Isn't there only three people in Naruto's guard team?
I don't know Huo Genma, Shimizu Raiton, Iwasi, who is this kid who looks younger than him?
Facing Waterstop's scrutinizing eyes, A, who just joined the guard team not long ago, bowed his head in embarrassment.
"Waterstop, it's so late, what's the matter?" Po Shui Mun saw Waterstop standing at the door and asked with a smile.
"Naruto -sama, I got information about Orochi Maru."
Waterstop returned to his senses, closed the office door, walked to the desk, and told Po Shui Mun the information sent by Spider.
"River Country? No wonder Jiraiya-sensei couldn't find Orochi Maru. "
Po Shui Mun suddenly realized that he would receive letters from Jiraiya from time to time from the Land of Grass, and Orochi Maru was in the River Country, how could Jiraiya find him?
As for the battle with Orochi Maru, it should be Danzō's Root!
Po Shui Mun pondered for a long time, and the problem came.
How to remind Jiraiya?
Write a letter?
No, Jiraiya will never stay in one place for too long to find Orochi Maru, and by the time the letter is sent, Jiraiya will be long gone.
In that case …
Po Shui Mun quickly made a decision, "Waterstop, it seems that this task will trouble you, Cold Wind, and Kakashi again!"
Waterstop nodded, "I understand."
Po Shui Mun looked into Waterstop's eyes and said solemnly, "Waterstop, don't use the power of Mangekyo unless it's a last resort, understand?"
Waterstop was stunned, "Naruto -sama, do you know?"
Po Shui Mun was also stunned. Know what?
He was just worried that Waterstop would lose himself in the powerful power of Mangekyo. Waterstop thought why?
Waterstop blinked twice, showed an awkward but polite smile, and quickly changed the topic, "Naruto -sama, Spider is still in the village, and the information he sent is very valuable, so …"
Po Shui Mun shook his head with a wry smile, "I understand, I will deal with it properly."
"Then I'll go now!" Waterstop bowed slightly and left.
