He didn't offer any opinion, but simply returned to his usual quiet and stood back in the dark corner.
"Deidara, if you keep stirring up trouble and continue to be hostile to your comrades, don't blame me for being impolite."
Nagato looked at the blond youth with his hair tied in a topknot again.
His mischievous, childlike nature didn't change much even as he grew older.
"Humph."
The latter still snorted disdainfully in response, but eventually obediently pulled his hand out of the mysterious ninja pouch.
He had already witnessed the power the leader possessed during the invasion several years ago, and in this almost enclosed space, he had absolutely no advantage.
Although he was somewhat unruly, he was not out of touch with reality.
After stabilizing the nearly collapsing internal environment, Nagato's face showed signs of fatigue, and his dull gaze swept over everyone present.
The taciturn Sasori, who once personally killed his own Kazekage and was obsessed with turning the corpses into eternal puppets, recently looked at Pain with the same intensity he used to regard him as someone desperately wanting to possess a work of art.
Kakuzu, who also remains silent about the current situation, actually treats life as worthless and ruthlessly plunders the hearts of others in order to maintain his own existence.
In addition to the three who had previously clashed: Hidan, who worshipped an evil god; Deidara, who was unruly and carelessly played with explosions on his own territory; and Itachi Uchiha, who had harmed his own clan and parents.
By following the guidance of 'Uchiha Madara' and recruiting such a group of heinous criminals, can one truly achieve so-called peace?
Will the land of rain ever truly see sunny days again?
He began to doubt, and became uncertain.
But now that we've come this far, it seems there's no turning back.
Thinking this, Nagato's eyes gradually regained their former determination:
"From now on, all actions against Uchiha Ara are prohibited."
After a brief silence, he announced in a loud voice.
The reason is simple: that guy was never part of their plan.
Their appearance on the action list was entirely due to the personal desires of Uchiha Madara and Zetsu.
Of course, the glimpse of the prophecy revealed by the other party, and the power they possess, were also among the main reasons why they became wary and chose to abandon the hunt and avoid provoking them.
After these words were spoken, the overall scene did not change in any particular way.
Konan would never have any objections to Nagato's orders.
Kakuzu has never been interested in bounties that involve taking detours. As far as Hidan is concerned, it doesn't matter who he kills. And for two guys who are obsessed with art, it goes without saying that only by conquering large forces can their talents be 'manifested', 'recognized', and 'elevated'!
As for Itachi Uchiha, he lowered his eyes slightly, seemingly lost in thought.
The only one present who showed excitement was Jue.
"What does this mean, Chief?"
"Are we just going to let that hidden danger continue to grow?"
"That guy managed to escape from the Rinnegan this time, how powerful will he be next time?"
Unable to contain his inner turmoil, he roared out.
"Then you'll have to deal with him."
Nagato showed no mercy or evasion in this regard.
In an instant,
He was utterly speechless.
To entrust it to myself is tantamount to sending myself to my death.
He vividly remembered the fate of that spore clone.
"The leader has probably forgotten that I am just an intelligence gatherer."
After a brief silence, he finally spoke, but his voice was noticeably weak.
"Since I know this, I should do my job well and find the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki who is being hidden in Kumogakure."
Nagato showed absolutely no mercy to this good-for-nothing who only knew how to talk.
Why did the operation against Uchiha Ara fail?
The main reason is the lack of clarity regarding the boy's own power, and the complete lack of information about the power he has accumulated over the years!
Those knives, those followers.
In terms of quality, it is in no way inferior to Xiao!
They even have greater potential considering their age!
Moreover, they are clearly more united!
why,
what is this?
The Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, who emerged from the blood mist, also had a fearsome reputation for having their hands stained with blood. So why were they able to show such unity and cohesion in the hands of that boy?
Is it the hypnotic effect of the Mangekyou Sharingan?
Do not,
no!
Nagato still remembers those infamous, talented individuals who stood in front of their leader without hesitation.
Fearless and undaunted, without any coercion, numbness, or loss of control!
Just like Yahiko in the past, who brought this group of homeless people to Akatsuki!
[Uchiha Ara]
What exactly did you promise those guys?
What is your ultimate goal in recruiting them?
"But I'm afraid they won't let us go easily."
How could Jue possibly let that guy, who was very likely the reincarnation of 'Indra', continue to grow? That's why she continued to add in a sinister tone, risking being disliked by Nagato.
"After all, he has an irreconcilable feud with one of our comrades."
"Adding to this ambush by the Land of Snow, it can be said that there are two more sources of hatred."
The reasons are detailed below.
Whether it's something internal to the Uchiha clan or the Akatsuki's hunting operation against that guy, these are unavoidable issues.
Upon hearing this, impatience and gloom began to appear in Nagato's eyes.
The level of concern and intent towards Uchiha Ara was clearly beyond reason, even surpassing the matter of hunting Jinchuriki at one point.
What kind of tricks and secrets are hidden here?
Is this what Zetsuichi meant, or what Madara Uchiha meant?
What kind of understanding and knowledge do they actually have about Uchiha Ara?
"If Uchiha Ara appears, I will deal with him personally and will not implicate Akatsuki."
However, before the leader, who was sitting in the main seat, could propose a solution, the young man standing in the darkness spoke up for the first time at the gathering and took the blame for the consequences.
【whispering sound.】
[You're just talking to yourself; who cares about your affairs!]
The entire scene was gloomy and desolate.
This was naturally not the result he wanted.
What they want is to eliminate, to completely eradicate that uncertain factor from this world!
"Okay, let's do it that way."
Itachi's answer clearly relieved Nagato of the need to put in any more effort.
"Now, do you have any questions? Absolutely."
After making his conclusion, he looked coldly at the carbon-based creature that was clearly black and white.
For some reason, my feelings toward these so-called companions are getting worse and worse!
Ideally, I shouldn't find anything wrong with you.
【otherwise.......】
An unfathomable killing intent emanated from his terrifying, deep purple eyes.
"No."
"I will do my best to find out the whereabouts of the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki."
Since things have come to this point, there is naturally no ability to change or strive for anything; all that can be done is to go with the flow and continue down this path.
Of course, this is merely a superficial agreement.
After all, they had a 'little meeting' afterward!
That will be the time for them to settle scores!
Using the name 'Ban'!
"In that case, everyone, disperse."
"We must complete the assigned hunting missions as soon as possible; that is a necessary condition for realizing the 'Eye of the Moon Plan' and the value of the Akatsuki organization."
"May peace be near."
Nagato's tone was somewhat tired.
Ultimately, he couldn't simply abandon the 'Eye of the Moon Project,' which was something he and Xiao Nan had been persistently working on for so many years.
Moreover, successfully hunting two tailed beasts was already a good start. Even if it cost him his half-crippled life, he wanted to see one last time, to see that beautiful world that had been described.
However, when the word 'peace' was mentioned, Nagato inexplicably felt a sense of emptiness.
The thought that had previously crossed my mind resurfaced:
