Chapter 98 098. Diversion of trouble to the east

A few days later, Xiao organized an internal meeting.

Before Tendo Pain assigned tasks to each team, Obito asked Zetsu to come forward and share a piece of information about the remnants of Uchiha at the meeting.

After hearing the news that Uchiha chose to settle in the Country of Whirlpool, many Akatsuki members showed greedy eyes.

Among them, Orochimaru, Scorpion and Kakuzu are the most prominent. Some of them covet the Uchiha bloodline, some want a Sharingan collection, and are even simply interested in Uchiha's bounty.

Blood successor ninjas are full of treasures, and once they break away from the protection of the ninja village, they will definitely be coveted by others.

However, considering that there were still Uchiha traitors in the organization, they restrained themselves a lot and looked at Uchiha Itachi who was wearing a Suzaku ring.

Although Itachi's hands were stained with Uchiha's blood, such a madman could not be treated with common sense.

What if he was targeted by Itachi after revealing his thoughts on attacking the remnants of the Uchiha? They didn't want to cause trouble. After all, judging from the completion of tasks, Itachi's strength was completely above the average level of the organization.

Although the Sharingan has some value, it is not worth taking such a huge risk and deliberately planning it.

But if they encounter Uchiha by chance in the ninja world, they won't mind doing something dirty and grabbing some Sharingan as a collection.

Being stared at by all the Akatsuki members, Itachi's expression did not change much. He and Shisui had chosen two completely different paths and had completely parted ways. They didn't know if they would be enemies next time they met.

And he knew Shisui's strength very well. Although he lost the Mangekyo, his strength would not drop much if he replaced it with the three magatama.

Without the use of the Mangekyou Eye Technique, the only difference between the Three Magatama and the Mangekyo is the Susanoo Ninjutsu, and the cost of unlocking Susanoo is too serious.

However, Zetsu provided Uchiha information, making him realize that Zetsu might be siding with the masked man's faction.

Where there are ninjas, there will be disputes. Just like Konoha Ninja Village, there are also factions within the Akatsuki organization. For example, Scorpion and Kakuzu were both recruited by Pain and Konan, so they naturally belong to Pain's faction.

And rebellious ninjas like him who were recruited by the masked man were classified into the masked man's faction.

He originally thought that only he and Loquat Juuzang belonged to the masked man faction, but he did not expect that Zetsu, who was close to Pain, might also be a member of the masked man.

However, factions are not fixed. He can provoke infighting within the Akatsuki organization by getting close to Payne's group.

But if the masked man is offended, maybe the masked man will attack the village again. Neither the village nor Sasuke can stand the torment anymore, and they can only look for opportunities in the future.

After the episode where Jue reported the news, Tiandao Payne began to assign tasks online again.

Some of these tasks come from the black market, and some are simply commissions sent directly by daimyo and shadows, including but not limited to assassinating important officials, stealing intelligence, and even creating friction and battlefields on the border.

Regardless of the fact that the ultimate goal of the Akatsuki organization is to collect tailed beasts, the careerists of the five major countries must like mercenary organizations like Akatsuki very much. After all, in an era when all countries are tending to peace, no one dares to easily provoke a war.

After the Akatsuki organization meeting that was held every few months, Itachi cut off the Phantom Body Jutsu and returned to the real world.

In the real world, he and Loquat Juzo were staying in a small house built by Tudun. Outside the house was a continuous summer rainstorm. They were looking for signs of Vulpix activities in the Kingdom of Water.

After all, although making money and intensifying conflicts between countries are important, Akatsuki's ultimate goal is to collect tailed beasts.

After braving the heavy rain outside, he took out some rice balls to fill his stomach. Itachi frowned and looked at Loquat Juzo next to him. The Akatsuki organization meeting was over. Why is this guy still using the magic lantern body technique?

Are you communicating with Payne? Or received any new tasks?

More than ten minutes later, Loquat Juzo cut off the lantern body jutsu, and after taking the rice ball from Itachi, he said thank you and started swallowing without worrying about being poisoned.

After finishing the meal, Juuzang Juzo wiped his mouth with his sleeve and said immediately, "The leader contacted me alone just now and gave us a new task, sneaking into the Kirigakure Village to investigate the Fourth Mizukage's Juzo Yagura. "

Gotachibana Yagura is the Three-Tails Jinchuuriki, so it's only natural to investigate him.

But Itachi felt something was a little strange and looked at Loquat Juzo with a suspicious look. He felt that the task of sneaking into Kirigakure Village to investigate the Fourth Mizukage might have been requested by Loquat Juzo on his own initiative.

The reason for applying is most likely related to Loquat Juuzang becoming a rebel ninja.

Loquat Juzo might be using Akatsuki to achieve his own agenda.

However, each having their own agenda is also a major feature of the Akatsuki organization. If this group of rebellious ninjas can really unite as one, their strength will surpass the five major ninja villages and become the de facto number one force in the ninja world.

Thinking of this, Uchiha Itachi nodded and said: "Sneaking into Kirigakure to investigate Mizukage is not a simple task. We must take a long-term approach. Do you have any suitable identity to disguise?"

Loquat Juuzang smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Kirigakure has long been penetrated into a sieve, we can just go directly."

…

Within the country of Sichuan.

Orochimaru and Red Sand Scorpion released the Magic Lantern Body Technique at the same time and remained vigilant to each other.

One of them is a puppet lover, and the other is a mad scientist. Logically speaking, they should be like-minded friends. However, due to their differences in ideas, their relationship has always been bad, and they both want to prove that their own path is superior.

Suddenly, Orochimaru looked at Scorpion and said in a playful tone: "Scorpion, are you interested in going to the Country of Whirlpool? The Uchiha above is a good experimental material. You must also be looking forward to the Sharingan Puppet."

Xie Leng snorted and said: "If you want to go, go by yourself. I don't have time to pay attention to those Uchiha. There are more important things waiting for me to do. If you want to go, you can go alone."

Seeing that his instigation failed, Orochimaru felt a little regretful, but it was just a pity that he was missing a chess piece to explore the path.

Although the Uchiha bloodline and Sharingan have a lot of research value, they are not as good as the cursed seal technology he is researching. Using the cursed seal technology, he can directly cultivate experimental subjects whose strength is close to that of Jonin, which is no better than the blood inheritance limit. Not inferior.

He was addicted to the feeling of creating the boundaries of blood inheritance and making immortals with his own hands.

Of course, not being interested in the ordinary Sharingan does not mean that he is not interested in the Mangekyo Sharingan, but he has never been able to find the time to attack Itachi. If the attack fails, he will be hunted down by all members of the Akatsuki organization.

But he didn't have time to go to the Country of Whirlpool, but he could use Kakuzu.

As long as a higher reward is offered on the black market, Kakuzu will naturally become a thug, and the price is only a small amount of money, and he has never been short of money.
