I unleashed a Hundred Demons Parade in the Ninja World

After all, it's perfectly normal for injuries and even deaths to occur within the Akatsuki organization. For example, before Kakuzu became partners with Hidan, he had already caused the deaths of countless comrades during his operations.

But now, thinking about it more carefully, is it really possible for Juzo Biwa, who emerged from the blood mist, to so easily form bonds with new teammates and be willing to die for them?

Perhaps he truly has genuine feelings.

But there is another possibility,

It was that dangerous guy, Itachi Uchiha, who used his Sharingan to control his will and manipulate his actions, ultimately using his comrade's body to block the attack from the Fourth Mizukage!

Don't say it's impossible!

You should know that guy is an extremist who would turn on his own family and even his own parents!

A teammate with whom you have no blood relation dies, and that's that.

Finally, there's the matter of Kisame Hoshigaki's disappearance.

To this day, neither Zetsu nor Obito has been able to find any trace of the other party. It's as if that strange person from Kirigakure has vanished into thin air, leaving no trace of his existence on the world.

However, he still identified two possible target areas:

One is in Wuyin Village.

The Hidden Mist Village has undergone tremendous changes in recent years. Stepping onto that land once covered in blood, a sense of solemnity immediately washes over you.

Not only did the entire Land of Water close down, but even the ninjas of the Hidden Mist Village stayed in the village and rarely went out on missions.

During this time, Obito carefully infiltrated the village and easily captured several Hidden Mist ninja, forcibly searching their memories.

However, very little useful information was obtained.

Even one of the Jonin-level beings only knew that the recent events were related to the Fourth Mizukage.

Moreover, the higher-ups have done an excellent job of keeping this secret, probably because they are afraid of the dark events of the past.

Even so, he still found a key point:

Terumi Mei!

She is a leading figure among the younger generation in Kirigakure, possessing a rare dual bloodline limit.

This was the only point of resonance Obito found when exploring the memories of the Hidden Mist ninjas; those guys all cared a lot about this name and even respected it.

However, just as he was about to personally seek out that extraordinary woman to see if he could find any useful information...

His arrival was discovered by the ninjas of Kirigakure.

This is definitely not because he accidentally revealed anything beforehand.

Rather, it was because the 'corpse disposal team,' who possessed absolute expertise in special secret techniques, had developed new secret techniques within the past three years.

A secret technique for those controlled by illusions.

During their seemingly random self-examination, they discovered signs that the village ninjas had been subjected to genjutsu, triggering a hidden trick they had left behind.

This unexpected situation forced them to abandon their plans to continue the search.

The second point of speculation is Konoha.

However, even after infiltrating, he still couldn't obtain any useful information.

This doesn't mean that Konoha's ninjas developed early warning ninjutsu similar to Kirigakure's, but rather that they increased their control over the village through training the barrier team and real-time monitoring.

Those fine, hidden early warning barriers and monitoring networks, like spider webs, covered the entire Hidden Leaf Village in layers.

Especially near the Konoha Anbu, the Hokage Building, important research institutes, and the Uchiha clan's territory, the numerous intersecting barriers were like several invisible blankets laid in the void, making them impregnable.

Perhaps the only thing that Konoha's higher-ups felt was lacking was the failure to install surveillance equipment within the Uchiha clan's territory.

Such precautions made Obito's infiltration extremely difficult.

After all, while space-time ninjutsu is unpredictable, it is not unique to one person; the Second and Fourth Hokage both had considerable expertise in this area.

The current Third Hokage is also known as the Professor of Ninjutsu. Even though he cannot use his own arms and fingers to perform space-time ninjutsu, he can still develop some warning barriers to defend against space-time ninjutsu based on the space knowledge passed down from the Second and Fourth Hokage.

However, compared to the closed-off Kirigakure, Obito tends to believe the latter theory.

Because, in the past few decades, the entire Blood Mist Village has been ravaged, and the power of the younger generation suffered a severe decline in the battle on the eastern border of the Land of Fire, with their overall strength possibly even falling below that of the Sand Village.

Even though the Hidden Mist Village's leadership swallowed their pride, admitted their mistakes and dereliction of duty over the past few decades, and sincerely issued a recall order to their former comrades who had defected, not a single Ninja Swordsman has returned to this day. Even the iconic seven Ninja Swords have vanished from the world along with their masters.

Can Kirigakure really take Kisame away with its current resources?

Obito had no reason not to question it.

Regarding the possibility of Uchiha Arara

He had risked being discovered by Konoha to try and find out more about the Uchiha clan, including the pair of special eyes that had made him feel uneasy when he infiltrated the village.

However, the feedback it received was that as soon as it stepped onto that dusty old soil, two sharp beams of perception were cast towards the spot where it was standing.

He was very familiar with one of the dishes, so familiar that it was ingrained in his very bones!

It's that despicable Uchiha Arashi!!

This guy is truly confined to the clan's territory, and under such tight protection, there is absolutely no possibility of him leaving.

This was also confirmed by the White Zetsu who was guarding the outside.

Therefore, the only remaining point of suspicion is one person: Uchiha Itachi.

Perhaps, this bastard only ever betrayed the Uchiha clan, and never Konoha!

Or perhaps, it was those old fogies in Konoha who threatened Sasuke with his life, forcing him to submit and become a gray spy planted in the Akatsuki organization.

In fact, either possibility is very easy to expose.

However, this requires the cooperation of Itachi Uchiha, and then one can use Nagato's Rinnegan or one's own Mangekyou Sharingan to delve into the inner world of this guy and search for the answer.

However, this guy would certainly not agree to such behavior.

Forcing a confrontation would only result in one outcome: a breakdown in relations between the two sides, and Itachi Uchiha's defection from the Akatsuki organization.

In this way, regardless of whether they are spies planted by Konoha or are being coerced by Konoha, they will still cause a certain blow to the Akatsuki organization and lead to the leakage of secrets.

Such consequences are definitely not what Obito wanted to see.

Itachi's fighting prowess and meticulous mind both impressed him and compelled him to be on guard.

Therefore, maintaining a cautious and ambiguous attitude, keeping this guy in a state of acting alone, and having Zetsu personally follow and monitor him, is the safest way Obito could find.

Moreover, judging from the current development, this approach has proven remarkably effective, as evidenced by the successful capture of the Four-Tails Jinchuriki on his own.

Itachi still did not respond to Obito's words.

Those calm, black eyes seemed to be looking at something, or pondering something.

"That's inevitable."

"After all, hunting down a near-perfect Jinchuriki alone is an unprecedented achievement in the organization."

The earlier exclamations of praise rang out again.

At the same time, a black and white figure slowly emerged from beneath the rugged, jagged ground.

绝，

He could be considered Itachi's temporary teammate, but he was more like a watcher!

Furthermore, he will never appear in battle or when traveling alone with someone; he will only appear when Obito or Nagato are present.

This was to guard against those powerful Mangekyou Sharingan.

"When we get back this time, Deidara will definitely be speechless."

Jue, who wasn't good at paying attention to the atmosphere around him, continued.

His voice was filled with excitement.

After all, this was the first official hunting operation in three years, and the second tailed beast to be successfully captured!

In this respect, it is a good start.

"What's the next mission?"

Uchiha Itachi, who was at the center of the praise, finally spoke.

But his voice remained cold, and his words did not respond in the slightest to Fang's praise.

It seems that apart from the tasks assigned to him, everything else is no longer relevant to him.

"This is not urgent."

"Although major powers have recently relaxed their control over Jinchuriki, they are still under surveillance."

"If this guy hadn't clashed with Onoki's personality and values ​​and hadn't left the village on his own initiative, it wouldn't have been so easy to successfully hunt him."

"We will make arrangements once we receive news of other Jinchūriki."

"Let's leave the Land of Earth now. That old bastard Onoki is no simple character; he'll figure things out soon enough."

Obito placed his palm on the dying Old Purple, and immediately activated the Kamui in his right eye.

"Sa, let me take you with me."

After transferring the Four-Tails Jinchuriki, he immediately extended his palm towards the indifferent young man in his field of vision, speaking calmly as usual.

However, Uchiha Itachi, who was standing alone, only glanced silently at the masked man before transforming into crows that scattered and flew away.

Clearly, while the Akatsuki were on guard against themselves, they were also on guard against their opponents.

"This guy is definitely not so easy to control. Once we've collected all the tailed beasts..."

Upon seeing this, a hoarse, ferocious voice rang out, originating from the dark side of Jue.

However, he didn't finish his sentence; instead, he abruptly stopped and changed his words:

"Then I'll go and keep an eye on it."

As soon as he finished speaking, he disappeared beneath the earth's surface.

Obito's single eye, protruding from his mask, became exceptionally cold after the surrounding silence fell.

[Uchiha Itachi]

How long can you keep hiding?

I'll be keeping a close eye on you!
