"Go and report to Lord Kazekage, that person has arrived."
"Yes."
After a brief response, a ninja behind the middle-aged man suddenly vanished from the spot.
Within this short but significant timeframe, the traveler wearing a sand-proof hat slowly made his way to the foot of the city wall.
He stopped walking and casually lifted his straw hat, revealing long, black hair hidden beneath...
【who? 】
Such a clean and youthful woman's face left Maki momentarily speechless.
Especially when paired with that long, straight black hair and the magatama earrings hanging from her earrings...
Where did this little girl come from?
According to the agreement, it should be that person who came this time.
Could it be that the guy didn't intend to keep the agreement, or that he had some concerns and sent his own subordinates instead?
After all, I heard that the other side also built one...
But before Maki's speculations could dissipate, a mocking laugh rang out from beneath the sand-built city gate.
"Ho."
Such laughter immediately made Maki, an elite Jonin, frown. If the visitor was merely that person's subordinate, then there was no need to continue the conversation, let alone invite him into Sunagakure.
However, just as his inherent momentum was about to erupt and the question he was about to utter was about to be uttered, he suddenly met the other person's eyes.
Those distinctive vertical pupils, resembling a terrifying giant python!
"Buzz."
As if struck by an invisible force, the burly Maki involuntarily took a step back.
Such a disgraceful appearance is just like how the four Sand Village ninjas saw his arrival before!
This is the oppressive feeling coming from those in power, from the strong!
【It's him! 】
Is it really him?
Even if not, they must be someone closely related to it!
Because of the young woman's face, Maki was never able to confirm her identity.
As for disguise techniques
Of course, he had considered this point.
However, he couldn't find any flaws in the other party's disguise at all!
Machi was very confident about this.
"So, how long do you want me to stand here?"
The person who came from below the city gate spoke again.
It's a male voice!
His voice was somewhat hoarse, yet extremely magnetic.
Upon hearing this, Maki's pupils contracted again.
Because what they experienced was not just the superficial, direct questioning, but also the impatience and threat hidden within.
It's like saying, 'Do I have to make a scene here to get things done?'
【It's him! 】
This time, Maki had no doubts, and this way he could better avoid being noticed by others.
Thinking of this, his voice and attitude became more respectful: "The Fourth Hokage has been waiting for you in the reception room for a long time. Please follow me."
After all, this guy is Orochimaru, one of the legendary Sannin of Konoha!
"Jie."
Upon hearing this, the visitor, who appeared to be a young woman, did not reply. Instead, she lowered her sand-proof hat again and, guided by the middle-aged man, entered the uniquely built Sunagakure village.
Meanwhile, a heated conflict erupted in the neighboring Land of Rain, the Land of Wind.
I'm going crazy!
He's really going crazy!
The mighty Six Paths of Pain couldn't even defeat a mere teenager!
Who can believe or accept such an outcome?
Know that after confirming that this hunt was not a trap set by the five great nations, he was already waiting for Nagato's triumphant return with great joy and confidence!
Even if there was a minor hiccup in the middle, even if the white Zetsu clone he arranged was easily crushed by the prey, Zetsu's determination did not waver in the slightest.
Payne will win the battle and dominate the entire situation.
This is an indisputable result.
But what?
But the result was six unharmed puppets, with Nagato, who always looked half-dead, returning empty-handed!
You let him go?
Jue gritted his teeth and questioned in a deep voice, his cold eyes filled with hostility. Even if the other party was his nominal leader, it would have no effect!
Moreover, he really did try very hard to restrain himself, otherwise he would never have used such gentle and harmonious words!
After all, the potential identity that Uchiha Ara might possess was terrifying, making him eager to eliminate him!
Nagato did not respond to the question immediately.
However, there seemed to be some subtle fluctuation in his deep purple eyes.
If it's Yahiko,
If they are true companions,
[Would you immediately and without asking any questions, demand an explanation?]
His eyelids drooped slightly as he reminisced about the past.
Meanwhile, other thoughts were also stirring in his mind.
[Let Uchiha Ara go?]
To be precise, he let me go.
[Also, so you guys were at the base? Then why didn't you appear in that prophecy?]
A surge of emotions began to roar in his chest.
However, it was Konan who acted even faster.
A series of sharp paper shurikens attacked the black and white aloe vera without hesitation or regard for the occasion!
"This is Akatsuki!"
She shouted sharply, a fierce killing intent flashing in her light orange pupils.
Such an attack was far too sudden.
Not only did no one expect Konan to launch such a desperate attack, but even Nagato didn't anticipate how things would unfold.
No, he should have been able to foresee it.
Because in a sense, only Konan is his comrade, and the only true member of the Akatsuki!
However, despite the suddenness of Konan's attack and the relatively short distance between them, several White Zetsu clones suddenly emerged from the ground before the paper pieces landed, directly protecting the main body in the middle.
Even in its own stronghold, the latter seemed to be on guard against something at all times, and those white spore clones that resembled it in form were its sacrificial victims.
'Puff puff puff.'
As several sounds of skin being torn apart rang out, the clones used to take the fall transformed into clumps of disgusting spore cells.
At the same time, the coldness in Jue's eyes became even clearer, and his dissatisfaction and anger were accompanied by a low growl as he spoke:
"You actually attacked your own comrade? What are you trying to do? Have you forgotten the organization's rules: you're not allowed to attack your own comrades?"
"Xiao Nan!"
Have these two already discovered something?
The gloom in Jue's heart grew ever stronger.
A saying circulating among humanity was at this moment stirring up his inner turmoil:
"If you have a clear conscience, you have nothing to fear."
But in fact, when Hanzo of the Salamander had a falling out with the Akatsuki, it was he and Obito who eliminated all of Yahiko's subordinates who went to support him.
Such a annihilation operation was, of course, flawless, and after a long period of time, it has become difficult to verify or trace who the perpetrators of the attack were.
It was precisely because of this past that Jue couldn't help but show a hint of panic.
Of course, he also tried to cover up this panic by using anger, preemptive strikes, and evoking the so-called agreement between his companions.
But none of the people standing around it made a sound or even acknowledged it.
After all, this world is one where strength speaks, especially for an organization like Akatsuki, which is a group of vicious and ruthless individuals.
He's just an intelligence gathering member who doesn't put in the effort.
If it's gone, then it's gone.
You should know that Kakuzu has 'wrongfully killed' countless comrades-in-arms before.
Looking around at the mocking gazes of his so-called companions, Jue's expression grew even more gloomy.
After all, Madara's existence has not been directly revealed or exposed. Apart from Nagato and Konan, the only other person in the organization who truly knows of Madara's existence is Itachi Uchiha, who is gradually being excluded.
There was simply no one who could offer him any verbal support at this time.
But Xiao Nan always had someone backing her up!
