"Success, we finally succeeded!"
"I didn't let down Danzō -sama's expectations, great!"
Deep in the forest of the Land of Fire, in a secret base built underground, there was a series of cheers.
"Give the results of the experiment to Danzō -sama!"
"In this way, Danzō -sama will be able to take back the power of the village!"
In the deepest part of the base, the Root Ninjas excitedly recorded the results of their hard work for several years on a luxurious scroll, and then an ordinary-looking Root Ninja brought back Wood Leaf.
The rest of the Root ninjas, after destroying the experimental data in the base, split up and rushed to Konoha from all directions.
…
Time passed.
A few days later.
Rain Village.
On the 22nd floor of the steel tower in the center of the Rain Village, Bai Jue's Clone slowly walked up the stairs and smiled, "Paine-sama."
"What's the matter?" Tendo Pain, who had been standing on the edge of the tower, opened his eyes and looked at him with a blank expression.
"I just received information from the Land of Fire."
Bai Jue's Clone said with a smile, "Someone is looking for information about me and Dried Persimmon Mackerel in the black market."
Tendo Pain's eyelids twitched, "Who is it?"
"Wood Leaf Anbu," Bai Jue's Clone said with a smile, not worried about his identity being exposed.
"You mean, Wood Leaf already knows about you and Dried Persimmon Mackerel?" Tendo Pain lowered his eyes.
In the previous few confrontations, Wood Leaf should have guessed that Orochi Maru, Sasori, and Kakuzu were in the same organization, but how did they know about Zetsu and Dried Persimmon Mackerel?
They were definitely old members, and Dried Persimmon Mackerel was a new member, and the two of them weren't in the same team. Usually, their missions were all over the place, so how could Wood Leaf be aware of their identities?
Is it a traitor?
Tendo Pain immediately thought of Waterstop.
When he let Waterstop join Akatsuki, he had already considered Waterstop's identity as a spy, so he changed Akatsuki's operation pattern, unifying all the members in the ring. This way, not only could they exchange information, but also avoid leaking their information and the location of Akatsuki's headquarters. At the same time, he let Doppelganger monitor them.
But how did Waterstop do it?
Even if he was able to deduce the identity of Jue and Dried Persimmon Mackerel through the mind projection, how did he avoid the surveillance of Jue's doppelganger and send the information back to Wood Leaf?
Pain pondered for a moment, then looked up at Bai Jue's doppelganger and asked, "Is there a problem with monitoring Waterstop's doppelganger?"
Bai Jue's doppelganger's smile froze. "Are you suspecting that my doppelganger was affected by Waterstop's illusions and thus leaked the information?"
Pain shook his head slightly. "If your doppelganger was affected by the illusions, then Akatsuki has no secrets from Wood Leaf. Why would they need to search for information about you and Ghost Shark?"
Bai Jue's doppelganger thought about it and said, "So you are … suspecting that Waterstop bypassed my doppelganger and sent the information about me and Dried Persimmon Mackerel to Wood Leaf?"
Pain nodded.
Bai Jue's doppelganger shook his head. "Although Waterstop is powerful, he is not good at hiding and escaping. There is no reason for him to avoid my doppelganger."
"Go and ask him." Pain was overflowing with dominance.
"I know. I will contact my doppelganger and see if Waterstop has been acting strangely in the past few days." Bai Jue's doppelganger said.
Pain nodded, then closed his eyes.
…
Bai Jue's doppelganger can move quickly underground by relying on the underground roots, water, and other organic matter. The same is true for transmitting information.
After leaving the Central Steel Tower, Bai Jue's doppelganger found a small forest outside Amegakure, then began to contact Bai Jue's doppelganger who was monitoring Waterstop.
After a while, a friendly communication was completed between the two doppelganger.
The results of the communication showed that Waterstop has not been acting strangely recently!
Therefore, the person who leaked the information about him and Dried Persimmon Mackerel's identity was not Waterstop.
The results of the communication were fed back to Pain. The latter was silent.
Can Bai Jue's doppelganger, who was monitoring Waterstop, be trusted?
If not, it means that Bai Jue's doppelganger has betrayed him. But in this way, Wood Leaf will inevitably get more information about the Akatsuki. There is no need to search for information about Zetsu and Dried Persimmon Mackerel to alert the enemy. Of course, it is also possible that Wood Leaf did this deliberately to wash away Bai Jue's doppelganger's disgust.
But if Bai Jue's doppelganger is credible, it means that Waterstop is innocent, and someone else leaked the information.
"Is it possible that it is Orochi Maru?" Bai Jue's doppelganger suddenly said with a smile.
"Orochi Maru?" Pain asked. "Why do you suspect him?"
"Orochi Maru often releases snakes. I suspect that these snakes are his doppelganger, and even his real body may leave through these snakes."
Bai Jue's doppelganger said gloomily, "And according to the information obtained from other channels, Orochi Maru has built many secret bases all over the Shinobi World, but we don't even know the addresses of these bases!"
Pain nodded slightly: Orochi Maru is one of Wood Leaf's Sannin, after all, his methods are strange and difficult to deal with. Bai Jue's doppelganger is indeed difficult to monitor him!
As for the establishment of secret bases all over the Shinobi World …
Pain suddenly remembered the process of his first contact with Orochi Maru. At that time, he saw great ambition in Orochi Maru's eyes!
Perhaps, this time, Orochi Maru leaked the information to provoke the relationship between the organization and Waterstop. This will not only weaken the Akatsuki, but also make Wood Leaf focus on the Akatsuki.
If Orochi Maru leaks the information about the Akatsuki, he's afraid that the Akatsuki will confront Wood Leaf before he can start the plan to recover the Bijuu!
"If it is really him …" Pain couldn't continue.
Close monitoring?
It's useless, Bai Jue's doppelganger can't monitor Orochi Maru at all, otherwise, he wouldn't have let Orochi Maru's doppelganger run out.
As for killing him?
God knows if the 'Orochi Maru' under the surveillance of Bai Jue's doppelganger or real body.
Thinking of this, Pain found that he can't do anything to Orochi Maru.
Moreover, from the perspective of the real body and the doppelganger, Hanbing is also a doppelganger, and his real body is also suspected of leaking the secret!
Thinking of this, Pain suddenly found that the Akatsuki he worked so hard to manage seems to have become a sieve, and anyone can leak the secrets of the Akatsuki!
This wasn't a good sign.
"What are you going to do?" Bai Jue's doppelganger asked.
"No matter who leaked the information, we can't wait any longer!"
Pain looked at Bai Jue's doppelganger and said coldly, "Immediately confirm the specific location of all the Bijuu Column Force in the Shinobi World!"
"Pain, are you going to recover the Bijuu now?"
Bai Jue's doppelganger widened his eyes, "Isn't the time yet?"
"This is an order!" Pain said coldly.
"Since this is your decision, I understand …" White Zue's clone revealed a strange smile that didn't reach his eyes as he turned around and left.
He wanted to tell Pain's real body and Uchiha Obsidian's decision. After all, recovering the Bijuu is also one of Uchiha Madara -sama's plans, and there can't be any mistakes!
