At the border of the Earth Country.
Onoki floated at the top of a towering rock wall, his eyes slightly narrowed as if he was meditating.
Under the rock wall was his personal guard, Chi Tu. At this moment, he was looking around vigilantly with his arms crossed.
"He's here."
At some point, Onoki suddenly opened his eyes and looked up slightly.
In the sky, an orange haired figure wearing a black trench coat with red clouds fell from the sky.
"You … Who are you?" When Onoki saw the appearance of the person, he suddenly frowned. This guy's hair color, eyes, and black stick were exactly the same as the Akatsuki member he had seen before, but this appearance was completely different from the previous one!
"I'm Pain!"
Pain said expressionlessly. "Tsuchikage Sandaime, let's get down to business, what kind of mission is it that requires you to come in person?"
"This mission is very important, so I have to confirm your identity first." Onoki said cautiously.
"Humph!"
Pain stretched out his hand. "Shinra Tensei!"
Boom …
A small repulsive force spread out from his palm, blowing Onoki's hair and clothes in the wind.
After confirming his identity, Onoki immediately said, "This mission is very simple. First, create a border conflict between the Land of Grass and the Land of Earth. When I send an army of ninjas into the Land of Grass, you will lead the Akatsuki to invade the Land of Fire and attract the attention of Konoha's ninjas!"
Pain was silent for a while, then he said, "You want to occupy the Grass Country?"
"To be precise, I want to do the same thing as the Cloud Village." Onoki said.
Pain understood: "Attacking the Fire Country with the Cloud Army? It seems that the Shinobi World will not be peaceful … The Akatsuki will accept this mission, but the commission …"
"Don't worry, this time I have prepared a large amount of commission money, you won't refuse!"
Onoki slowly stretched out his hand and narrowed his eyes. "500 million!"
"The difficulty of this mission is very high, 500 million is not enough, at least double it!" Pain began to bargain.
"One billion …" Onoki looked troubled.
Speaking of which, the commission for this mission was jointly paid by the Rock Village and the Cloud Village. Both sides paid 500 million Ryo each. According to Tendo Pain's words, Onoki won't get any benefits.
That wouldn't do.
Onoki bargained: "600 million!"
Tendo Pain looked at him without speaking.
"700 million!"
Onoki revealed a bitter expression and said, "800 million, I can't give you any more. Payne, we've worked together for so many years. Just treat it as giving me a discount!"
"Since the Tsuchikage said so, then 1 billion." Pain didn't back down.
"Bastard!!"
Onoki was so angry that he wanted to curse. Fortunately, even though he did not earn anything, he did not suffer any losses. Hence, he suppressed his anger and said in a deep voice, "Alright, one billion it is! According to the old rules, I'll pay you 10% first, and when you complete the first step, I'll pay you 30%. When my army reaches the border, I'll give you the rest. "
"Sure."
…
After completing the transaction, Onoki floated back to the Rock Village in a good mood. Aketsuki was running on the ground.
At sunset, Onoki and Aketsuki went to a nearby town to rest.
"Tsuchikage-sama." Aketsuki looked at Onoki floating in front of him and said with some hesitation.
Onoki didn't look back and said: "Do you want to know why I have to go to a remote place every time I meet that guy?"
Aketsuki nodded and then shook his head fiercely: "Tsuchikage-sama, if it's a secret of the village, you don't have to tell me."
"In fact, it's nothing."
Onoki smiled and said: "But this matter is too big, so it's better if you don't know."
"Oh." Aketsuki bowed his head.
After entering the town, the two found an Izakaya to sit down and prepare to have a good meal. But at this moment, a figure rushed towards them at a very fast speed.
Aketsuki almost instantly blocked in front of Onoki, but when he saw who it was, he quickly moved aside.
"Grandpa, something bad happened!" It was Kurotsuki.
"Hei Tu, why are you making such a big fuss? What happened?" Onoki asked calmly.
"Grandpa, Uncle Ben is missing!" Kurotsuki shouted.
"Ben?"
Onoki was startled, and his face suddenly changed: "What?!"
Ben is the Five-Tailed Column Force of the Rock Village, how can he disappear inexplicably?
Is it …
The first thought that flashed through Onoki's mind was that Ben was taken away by Konoha's Ninja?
"What happened, Kurotsuki, tell me!" Onoki was anxious.
Kurotsuchi organized her words and said, "Grandpa, just a few days after you left, someone ambushed outside the village and attacked the lone ninja. That cunning guy used Ice Release and injured many of our people. After that, the Anbu sent elite Jonin to pretend to be a Genin. Unfortunately, they still couldn't beat him. You weren't there at that time, so Uncle Ban left the village, and as a result … he disappeared."
"Idiot!"
Onoki was furious: "This is clearly a plot to lure Ben out, how can it be fixed!!"
"Grandpa, do you know who did this?" Kurotsuki asked curiously.
"Needless to say, it must be Wood Leaf!" Onoki's nose turned red, but then his face stiffened slightly.
Wait, Ice Release?
Since the internal strife in the Mist Village, only Haku and Haku have Ice Release Kekkei Genkai and
Akatsuki?!
Onoki stood in the same place, confused by the wind.
How can it be?
Didn't they just take my order …
It turned out that Akatsuki dared to do this when I wasn't there!
How can it be fixed!!
Onoki felt like he had eaten a fly, he was depressed, sullen, and angry.
Moreover, if this matter was really done by Akatsuki, then would his previous commission with Tendo Pain still be valid?
Can he get back the 100 million that he gave?
Onoki was so worried that his hair fell out!
…
At the same time.
The new Tendo Pain, Xiao Nan, Jue, Moonless Water, Han Bing, and Flying Duan were hiding in a secret base, silently sealing the Gobi.
"It takes seven people more than ten days to seal a Bijuu, now there are only five people …"
Hanbing was dissatisfied: "Pain, why don't you call Hoshigaki and Kakuzu?"
"They have a mission." Pain said.
"Mission? Isn't it the same to capture the Rokubi after sealing the Gobi? " Hidan was also very unhappy. He was a very active person, but being held in the same place all day long was suffocating.
"It's not a mission to capture the Rokubi, it's a commission from the Rock Village." Pain said faintly about Onoki's commission.
"That's not good. I caught the Gobi's Jinchuriki in front of me, and Pain, you took Onoki's order. How can Onoki endure this?" Wuyue Hanbing smiled and joked.
"Occupy the Grass Country, and send the Rock Army to the border to put pressure on Wood Leaf …"
Bai Jue also smiled and said, "It sounds like Onoki has reached a cooperation with Yondaime-sama Lei Ying."
"This is good news for us."
Hanbing's smile disappeared, and he silently began to dig a hole, "If the Rock and Cloud start a war, it will attract the attention of Wood Leaf, and we can take the opportunity to attack Wood Leaf and capture the Eight Tails and Nine Tails."
Tendo Pain glanced at him. "You're right. I think so too."
