Chapter 125: Gathering Completed! Akatsuki's Base Exposed! !

Akatsuki base.

Blood suddenly flowed from the corner of Itachi's projection's mouth.

"what happened?"

"I killed his clone." Hanane, who was sitting below, did not say much and directly admitted what she had done.

"You...Ah." Pain and Konan both sighed helplessly. As expected, when they saw Uchiha Itachi, the first goal of this little guy in front of them was to kill him.

And in an unknown place, Itachi opened his Sharingan and blood flowed from the corner of his mouth.

"It looks like you're done there, too."

"Well, the chakra is used up." Itachi's expression was a little pale. Because of the influence of the fairy technique, he also suffered some backlash. Compared with Kisame beside him, his complexion was much paler.

"About 30% of the chakra was used on the sacrifice."

"It is a convenient jutsu that can create parallel bodies of us though."

"But the amount of chakra I diverted was not that much."

"Correspondingly, the power and the ninjutsu that can be used are also restricted."

"Mr. Itachi, your sister is really capable." Kisame chuckled.

"Yes, having her here is enough to delay time." Uchiha Itachi looked at the forest in the distance.

"I still have to go find the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki. I have something to ask him."

As Itachi said this, he used his shadow clone again and rushed towards Naruto. The only difference was that this time he brought Shisui's eyes with him.

Having been stopped by Kanon before, he could only wait and see Kanon's situation to see if he needed to use Kotoamatsukami himself, but Kanon's growth was beyond his imagination.

It seems that if he wants to get the plan back on track, he can only take action himself and kill his most beloved sister personally.

As for Gaara, the several eyes of the Outer Path Demon Statue kept opening, which meant that the Nine Seals of the Phantom Dragon were about to end.

"It seems that both of you have unlocked the jutsu." Pain looked at the projections of Kisame and Itachi.

"But it has delayed them for a long time."

"That's enough."

"Well done, Kanon, Itachi, and Kisame."

Scorpion looked at Pain and others with a somewhat unhappy expression.

"That's easy to say, but the two who were used as victims of your jutsu and donated their bodies to them were both my subordinates!"

Payne snorted coldly and said nonchalantly.

"They should thank me instead, because they both relied on my Xiang Tan Jutsu to temporarily become members of Akatsuki."

After the words fell, Pein glanced at Gaara.

"It's almost time."

.....

On the way, Naruto met Uchiha Itachi again. Itachi left without saying a word. Naruto didn't know if it was an illusion or something, but he felt like he had swallowed a crow.

After Itachi left, Naruto, Kakashi and others continued on their journey. On the way, he heard the word Jinchuriki for the first time. Naruto also understood that he was one of the Jinchuriki, the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki.

As Chiyo was speaking, she sent all the information here back to the Sand Village while she was on her way.

She turned around and looked at Naruto and Sakura who were still sad. Even Kakashi's mood was affected a little, and Chiyo felt helpless.

Although she didn't know how important that girl was to the three people in front of her, she still reminded them: "She has already joined Akatsuki. She will only be an enemy in the future. There is no way she can turn back."

"If the tailed beast is separated from the body of the Jinchūriki, the Jinchūriki without the tailed beast will..."

"Could it be..." Sakura and Naruto widened their eyes.

"Yes, the Jinchūriki who has the tailed beast taken out will die..."

A breeze blew by, blowing up countless leaves, and Sakura, Naruto, and Kakashi were all silent.

When she heard that Naruto would die if the tailed beast was extracted, and the pain Gaara was currently suffering, tears rolled down her eyes. What's more, the person who was capturing Gaara head-on was Kanon, which made him even more uncomfortable.

"You haven't changed at all. You're still a crybaby, Sakura."

Naruto smiled and patted Sakura's shoulder.

"I will rescue Gaara."

"I...Naruto...I was worried about you and Kanon..."

"Although Kanon joined Akatsuki, she never thought of killing me, right?"

Naruto chuckled, then turned around and greeted everyone.

"Let's hurry up. Kanon has become so strong. I have to catch up with her and tell her what I think of her." Naruto smiled with his eyes narrowed and walked towards the distance.

......

The base of Akatsuki organization.

Payne looked at Zetsu beside him.

"Jue, go and deal with the two used in the Xiang Zhuan Jutsu."

"I see."

"Itachi, tell me their number and characteristics."

Listening to Pein's instructions, Itachi on the side also spoke up: "A four-member team consisting of Konoha's Hatake Kakashi, Haruno Sakura, the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, Uzumaki Naruto, and Sunagakure's advisor Chiyo."

"Huh? Old lady Chiyo is here too?" Scorpion was a little confused.

"Brother Scorpion, are they your family members?" Hanayen, who was sitting on the finger of the Kong character ring, asked while crossing her legs.

"Yeah, right."

"Then let me go for a while." Hanane said softly.

"No need, I will deal with her myself." Scorpion smiled coldly. He also wanted to fight with Chiyo.

"Stop talking for now, we're about to enter the final stage." Pain's projection interrupted the conversation between Kanon and Sasori.

"How to deal with those annoying flies?" asked Kisame.

"Their speed is faster than expected." Jue frowned.

"Not a problem. Our tactics of stalling for them worked well. Don't worry about it now."

"Also, we have two insurances." Payne's tone was calm, as if he was sure of it.

"In the end, we are the only ones left to clean up the mess." Deidara looked at Kanon and Sasori with a slightly raised corner of his mouth.

"Hurry up and get things done here, Deidara."

"We still have to go greet guests, don't you think, Kanon-chan."

"He's not a guest, after all, he's my former teacher and companion." Kanon crossed her legs, then straightened the mask on her forehead and fiddled with the Ring of Void on her hand.

"Whatever. Don't do anything rashly later. Leave it to me and Deidara."

"Okay." Hanane nodded.

"In that case, I would like to take a short break."

"Yes, we need to make some preparations to welcome them."

The rest of the Akatsuki members were silent, and only Kisame complained, "This is really troublesome."

Feiduan pouted slightly in dissatisfaction: "It's rare for us to encounter a Jinchūriki, but we haven't had a chance to take action yet..."

"Stop whining, Hidan."

"Why don't we just go find the target we are responsible for? But after we seal the first tail, we still have to seal the fifth tail."

"That's right, the One-Tail is the first and the Nine-Tail is the last." Pain reminded everyone.

"So Uncle Han is still alive?" Hua Yin tilted her head and asked in confusion.

"Well, he's not dead yet. Let's wait until this is over before we seal him and the Two-Tails."

"Enough of the nonsense, everyone concentrate."

"From now on, no mistakes are allowed."

"Xiao Hanane, you too, stop talking and just sit still."

"Got it, Brother!"

Hearing Pain's scolding, Kanon helplessly spread her hands, supported her body with her hands behind her, crossed her legs and looked at the door, as if she was savoring the pleasure of killing Uchiha Itachi just now.

Finally, another hour passed.

"It's almost done."

Finally, as Gaara fell unconsciously to the ground, the One-Tail Shukaku was finally sealed into the Outer Path Statue.

"It's over." Payne sneered.

Looking at Gaara who was gradually becoming colder, no one had any emotion, even Kanon didn't say much. It was an indisputable fact that the strong were respected. If she didn't have the strength, she would have died long ago. Gaara was dispensable to her.

"Really..." Scorpion shook his head and laughed, Fei Liuhu's tail was raised high.

Deidara also sighed softly: "It still took three days and three nights in the end."

"It's always like this, it's really annoying."

"My shoulders are going to be stiff."

Seeing the members complaining, Payne also praised them:

"Thank you for your hard work, everyone. Well done."

"Then what's next is our preparation." Just as Deidara finished speaking, a horrible beating sound was heard outside.

"It's getting lively outside." Payne looked at the barrier behind him being triggered and sighed to Kanon and the other two.

"It looks like reinforcements have arrived."

"Where are the reinforcements coming from?" Deidara asked.

"It's Might Guy, Neji Hyuga, Tenten and Rock Lee." Kanon replied with an indifferent expression.

"They are all here." Jue told the others this fact at this time.

"But it's too late." Kakuzu spread his hands regretfully.

"I heard there's another Jinchuriki here too."

"Don't blame me, Xiao Hana." Scorpion sneered.

"I will definitely blame you, Brother Scorpion." Hanane stuck out her tongue at Scorpion.

At this time, Payne finally came to a conclusion.

"Scorpion, Deidara, you guys will take care of the people outside. Kanon, you take action based on the situation. Our goal has been achieved, the rest is up to you."

"As expected, this is the arrangement." Deidara sneered.

"It's just that the Jinchūriki must be captured alive. Of course, it may be a little difficult for you to capture this Jinchūriki alive, so I won't force you to capture him. You can escape at any time."

Payne took one last look at the twin-tailed girl who was crossing her legs and pulling at her ninja boots, raised the corner of his mouth slightly, and then disappeared on the spot.

"Everyone else, disband."
