Chapter 236: The Split Akatsuki Organization

Yu Muren looked at his teammates in front of him and felt like he didn't know what to say.

Konoha's Team 7, Uzumaki Naruto, Uchiha Sasuke, Uzumaki Karin, and myself.

Among the four people, there are two Jinchūriki, one Uchiha orphan, and one who is suspected to be a secret ninja from the Uzumaki clan. She is also the adopted daughter of the legendary master, Kamikawa Aoba.

Such a lineup, just to clean up a group of stray ninjas?

Although Yukito is a Jinchūriki, he is actually very young, and there is too little information about him, so we don't know what Kamikawa Aoba wants to do.

The most outrageous thing is that there was no teacher leading this operation, and the person in charge of the command was Uchiha Sasuke.

"Damn it, why is Sasuke the captain? I'm obviously better than him."

As for the question of who is stronger between Sasuke and Naruto, Aoba is not completely sure.

The main reason is that Naruto is now being taught by the Fourth Hokage Minato Namikaze himself, while Sasuke is making rapid progress with the help of Aoba. The two are no longer comparable.

Qingye doesn't like the protagonist mode that explodes at the last minute. If possible, he hopes that both of them can grow comprehensively. In the battle, crush the opponent with hard power. Instead of relying on explosive power to turn the tables in desperate moments.

"With the way you're yelling now, you can't be a captain. The three of you already have the strength of a regular jonin. But you haven't been able to advance, mainly because you don't have enough mission points and experience.

This operation is also a promotion assessment for you. Based on your performance, I will consider your promotion to the Ninja profession after the mission is over."

As soon as the topic of ninja promotion was mentioned, Naruto immediately stopped talking. There is a very funny thing here, that is, Sasuke and Karin are now Chunin. Only Naruto is still a Genin.

The main reason is that this guy's theoretical knowledge is really bad. Not only is his knowledge of ninja theory bad, but he still can't even tell the names of the first and second generation Hokage apart.

Even Minato Namikaze was almost depressed by this. This son had first-rate physical talents, but his brain was indeed a bit of a hindrance to him.

After the four young men set off, Qingye nodded to the Fourth Generation who had been observing not far away, and the other party immediately followed.

Qingye did not follow him. With the blessing of Flying Thunder God, he could arrive at the first time if there was any problem. So, Qingye turned and went in another direction.

There, Uchiha Itachi was waiting.

This meeting was different from the previous ones. This time, it was Uchiha Itachi who took the initiative to ask for a meeting.

"You let Sasuke be the bait?"

"It's a little bit related. But it's more about putting on a show."

Itachi thought of the Yukito in the team and nodded. He could let the Jinchūriki of another village go out on field missions like ordinary ninjas.

Even he had to admit that Kamikawa Aoba's courage and execution ability far exceeded his own. At least when he was in that position, he would never have made such a decision.

"Your body."

At this time, Aoba also noticed Itachi's problem. He found that Itachi's breath was a little disordered.

"As you can see, I don't have much time. I was over-consumed in the previous battle with the Rain Country. I may not have enough time."

In the battle of Rain Country, the attack of Cloud Ninja was unexpected. Uchiha Itachi's Akatsuki faced the elite army of Cloud Ninja. Although they escaped unscathed, the loss was much greater than expected.

Especially Uchiha Itachi, who was not good at this kind of long-lasting group battles.

Uchiha Itachi is the pinnacle of traditional ninjas. He is good at one-on-one or small-scale battles. Facing a large army of ninjas, he has a hard time dealing with them.

On the other hand, his teammate Kisame is the complete opposite. Kisame is best at protracted battles or large-scale battlefields. The two of them teaming up is essentially a complementary one.

"Sasuke, this will take a little time."

"Why? According to my calculations, he should have been able to open his eyes long ago." Uchiha Itachi didn't understand why Sasuke could never open his Mangekyō.

"Because I don't want Sasuke to become a sickly person like you. Activating the Mangekyō too early will cause irreversible damage to his body. Therefore, his body always refuses to activate the Mangekyō out of self-protection."

"...Is Sasuke different from us?"

There is absolutely no problem with Uchiha Itachi's intelligence. With just a short explanation, he thought of more.

"It's true. Whether from a biological level or a chakra level, Sasuke is more...pure than the average Uchiha."

"I understand. I will try my best to hold on. But there are problems within Akatsuki as well."

"Because of Nagato?"

The internal strife of Akatsuki was within Aoba's expectations. Before, Nagato had the Samsara Eye, which could suppress everything. But now, not only did Nagato lose the Samsara Eye, he was even sleeping in the Konoha's sanatorium.

Without the restraint of God, it was impossible for the S-level rebels to continue to behave peacefully.

Moreover, Konan has been spending more time in Konoha than in Rain Village, and his control over Akatsuki has become increasingly loose.

"After Nagato disappeared, Akatsuki's core plan lost its direction. Deidara, Sasori, and Kisame began to voice doubts. Obiru also had some thoughts.

Currently, only Kakuzu and Shin are still supporting the Angels. Over time, the Akatsuki organization will surely split. Do you have any plans for this?"

"It's earlier than I expected. But it's to be expected. I don't need you to stop this. On the contrary, I want you to promote it."

"You want me to split up the Akatsuki organization?"

"That's right. I want you to win over the Akatsuki members who have ulterior motives. Then leave and become independent."

The members of Akatsuki are all extremely dangerous. It is impossible to let them go free. Who knows when someone will do something big. Therefore, Aoba still needs to keep this group of people under his control.

"I understand that you want to eliminate the unstable part of the organization. But if you want me to lead them, you need a goal."

The Akatsuki organization was formed under Nagato because of the Samsara Eye. Itachi's meaning was very simple. He said that I could lead the team, but he had to give me a goal that everyone could accept.

"This is easy. It's the Samsara Eye. The Samsara Eye is now in the body of a Konoha rebel named Uchiha Obito. Your goal is to find Uchiha Obito and snatch his Samsara Eye. I believe that none of the Akatsuki members would be uninterested in the Samsara Eye."

"I understand. I will start executing it when I get back."

"Very good, I will arrange intelligence and financial support for you."

After finishing the meeting with Itachi, Aoba returned to Konoha and went straight to Nagato's recuperation room.
