Chapter 773 Weird

"Oh my God!"

Suddenly, a shrill cry came from the rain forest, followed by a blazing and ruthless flame that instantly engulfed the unfortunate Konoha ninja.

The ninja screamed in agony as flames burned all over his body. The light in his eyes gradually faded, and everything turned into deathly silence.

At this moment, Beiluo was looking coldly at the Konoha ninja who was killed by his Sharingan, with endless cold light flashing in his eyes. Just now, he successfully obtained important information from this ninja.

However, in order to avoid leaving any traces of being manipulated by the Sharingan, he released the flames without hesitation, reducing it to ashes.

"Hiroko, how's the intelligence gathering going?" Orochimaru walked over from behind, also showing a hint of fatigue.

"The level of these ninjas is too low. They don't know the details about the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki." Hiruhu frowned slightly, "I want to know the progress of the White Zetsu's investigation and whether there are any new discoveries."

"Even if we make new discoveries, I'm afraid we'll still have to rely on the leader to take action in the end." Orochimaru sighed helplessly, "With our strength, we probably won't be a match for the Nine-Tails..."

"Our main task now is to gather intelligence, because the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki is a perfect Jinchuriki, and ordinary ninjas will only die in vain if they go there. As for whether the Nine-Tails can be found, it depends on fate." Beiruhu said in a deep voice, "Also, we must be prepared to fight directly with the six Kages."

"I hate those guys the most, the arrogant Six Kage. Beiluhu curled his lips, "Although my physical skills are also quite good, my best skill is the bloodline limit ability."

"In the previous operation, the organization lost three members, Sasori, Deidara, and Kakuzu. Now our human resources are very tight. Therefore, we must be extra cautious in the next operations." Orochimaru reminded.

"I can understand Deidara's failure, after all, his jutsu had obvious flaws. However, I didn't expect Angle to die. The Eight-Tails Jinchuriki, who has always been neglected, seems to have grown into a force that cannot be ignored."

Bei Liuhu shrugged, "Who can say for sure about this kind of thing?"

"The most important thing is Scorpion's departure..." Orochimaru said meaningfully. "Speaking of which, we have also completed our share..."

"You are really calm. Even the death of your companion doesn't cause you the slightest grief." Obiru looked at Orochimaru, a complicated look flashing in his eyes.

Even though Akatsuki was full of cold-blooded traitors, he felt deeply sad for his deceased companions.

The night is deep, the stars are like waterfalls, and I am by a quiet lake.

The two sat in front of the campfire, talking in low voices.

Orochimaru stood beside the fire, concentrating on the surrounding environment. A gust of wind blew, bringing with it the rustling sound of the woods in the distance.

Suddenly a black shadow fell from the sky and landed next to Orochimaru.

"It's you, Chief." Orochimaru couldn't help but frowned as he looked at the familiar face in front of him.

Payne smiled faintly. "So, do you plan to continue working for the organization?"

Hiruko and Orochimaru looked at each other, were silent for a moment, and then answered firmly: "Yes, I will do my best to help the Akatsuki organization complete the Moon Eye mission."

"Very good." Payne nodded with satisfaction. "However, the situation we are facing now is very serious. We need to act with caution."

"Don't worry, Chief." Beiliuhu said confidently, "I have made full preparations and will not let you down."

Payne turned and left, disappearing into the night.

There was only silence around the campfire.

Orochimaru looked at Hiruko with an inexplicable expression, "Yes, if we leave the Akatsuki organization, where can we, the traitors hated by God, go?"

......

At the same time, in another corner, Konan was talking to a mysterious person named Nagato, the leader of the Akatsuki organization.

"Black Zetsu, you did a good job." Nagato said approvingly, "You successfully found the whereabouts of the Nine-Tails. This is an important victory for us."

"Thank you for the compliment, Lord Nagato." Black Zetsu bowed respectfully, "I will continue to work hard and contribute to the Akatsuki organization."

"Very good." Nagato nodded with satisfaction, "Remember, our goal is to achieve peace, and anyone who stands in our way will pay the price."

"Yes, Lord Nagato." Black Zetsu nodded solemnly in agreement.

As the night deepened, Orochimaru and his companions packed up their luggage and set out on a new journey.

They know that more difficult and dangerous challenges will be waiting for them ahead, but they firmly believe that as long as they work together and move forward courageously, they will be able to overcome all difficulties and achieve ultimate victory.

In this busy room, Minato Namikaze conducted an in-depth review and analysis of the mission completion report he had just received.

He seemed to be on a battlefield, and every scene was deeply imprinted in his mind.

Although he did not participate in the report in person, it was so full of enthusiasm and passion that it seemed as real and vivid to him as if he was there in person.

However, when he read the report carefully, he found two errors.

He gently put down the report in his hand, raised his head, and his eyes fell on Tsunade standing in front of him.

"Tsunade-senpai," Namikaze Minato said in a calm tone.

Tsunade couldn't help but be slightly stunned, feeling confused.

"Please tell me, what is wrong?"

Namikaze Minato smiled slightly and explained patiently: "The Akatsuki organization has lost three members. This is very good news for us."

Namikaze Minato smiled and nodded, saying: "Although the Red Sand Scorpion did not die. Not long ago, the results showed that the Red Sand Scorpion's body was not found, which means that he should have left the Akatsuki organization."

Tsunade's eyes widened, and she understood everything instantly.

"Scorpion of the Red Sand, this guy's strength is really a headache. If we meet again, I'm afraid..." Tsunade couldn't help but frowned and said worriedly.

Namikaze Minato comforted him, "Don't worry too much. Scorpion has already left the Akatsuki organization. Otherwise, he will definitely become the target of our coalition forces!"

Tsunade nodded.

She nodded slightly to show her understanding. She turned and walked out of the office, feeling deeply moved.

Mr. Shiraishi continued to receive several consultants and discuss relevant matters with them. After they returned to their posts, Minato Namikaze began to deal with his own work.

This year is undoubtedly a crucial year for Konoha.

Minato Namikaze shoulders a heavy responsibility. In order to ensure the smooth progress of all tasks, he must always remain highly vigilant. He hardly has much free time and has not even seen his son Naruto for a long time.

However, faced with challenges, he always coped with them calmly, demonstrating extraordinary leadership skills.

He firmly believes that as long as all countries can work together, they will be able to overcome difficulties and embrace a better future.

The sky of Konoha was filled with deep stars, and the cold wind whistled past, as if foreshadowing the turbulence of the future.

Although those brave ninjas who had just completed their great mission returned triumphantly, their stories caused deep concern among the top leaders of Konoha Village.

In a quiet room, the Konoha high-level officials led by Sarutobi Hiruzen were holding a secret meeting.

The meeting was attended by two of Konoha's advisors, who were making careful preparations for the upcoming challenge.

This is an important message left by Scorpion. However, it is difficult to tell whether this is a conspiracy against Konoha or a rare opportunity.

"Could this be a trap for our coalition forces?" Advisor Utatane Koharu asked with a serious expression. Her concerns were not without reason. After all, intelligence obtained from the enemy must be carefully analyzed and verified to confirm its authenticity.

Mitomon En calmly pointed out: "Although this may be a trap, it is also a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. I suggest that a special operations team should be dispatched to arrest Orochimaru and Uchiha Itachi. In any case, we can't let them get away with it, otherwise the situation in Konoha will become more serious."

However, in order to successfully complete this mission, how many elite jonin need to be sent to ensure that the mission is foolproof? Moreover, if this is really a trap, the enemies they will face at that time are far more than the ones in front of them.

Sarutobi Hiruzen was fully aware of the interests involved, and she said firmly: "We cannot easily give up this opportunity that may be the key to breaking the situation. Once we miss this opportunity, we will never be able to eliminate these enemies again. Once they start to act, Konoha will surely fall into crisis again."

Especially for Orochimaru, the two advisors, Utane Koharu and Mitokado En, couldn't help but feel a chill down their spines at the thought that he might target the Konoha high-ranking officials.

"However, judging from Konoha's current human resources, I'm afraid they are unable to undertake such a difficult task." Tsuyoshi Koharu frowned, looking a little anxious.

After saying that, he announced the end of the meeting.

Everyone nodded and walked out of the meeting room in an orderly manner.

Sarutobi Hiruzen sat alone on the sofa, his chin resting on his hands, staring at the chandelier on the ceiling, lost in deep thought.

At this moment, a familiar laugh came from behind. It turned out that his grandson Konohamaru had walked into the room quietly.

"Looking at your expression, Grandpa, you seem to be in some trouble." He said with a smile.

Sarutobi Hiruzen asked without turning his head: "Why are you here? Aren't you going to the ninja school?"

Konohamaru sighed helplessly, "I still have a few days before school starts, Grandpa."

Sarutobi Hiruzen straightened his back, his eyes flickering with embarrassment.
