Simulation: Starting from Under One Person

Hidan had no opinion on this, since all his thoughts were focused on pleasing the Jashin and he didn't care about money.

The two chatted about trivial things as they walked quickly through the rain-soaked streets, occasionally spotting people in raincoats rushing by.

but……

What attracted the two even more was a very conspicuous ruin within Amegakure.

“I can guess what happened here…” Hidan said.

Kakuzu's gaze swept across the ruins. From the extent and degree of destruction, he could tell that the people fighting here were very strong.

'Could it be... that the leader's reason for summoning the organization's members is related to these ruins?'

Thinking this, the corner did not slow down its movement speed and quickly left the area, arriving at the high-rise building that served as its base.

"Chief, why did you call us back?"

On the top floor of the high-rise building, in a brightly lit room, Kakuzu looked at Yahiko sitting behind his desk.

He felt that the leader was different from before.

He wasn't that cold-hearted, nor that powerful, and he didn't even have the Rinnegan anymore.

But that face... it was indeed the leader's face.

What exactly is going on? !

Chapter 257 The Meeting of the Akatsuki Organization

Looking at the two strangers who were his "leaders," Yahiko remained silent for a moment, a thoughtful look flashing in his eyes, as if a light of wisdom was shining through them.

After a moment, he asked, "Who are you?"

Simple sentences, yet they get to the heart of the matter.

Upon hearing this, Kakuzu and Hidan pondered for a moment, then carefully examined Yahiko's appearance for a while before finally realizing what he meant, thinking to themselves: "They look so alike, they must be the leader's brother."

Without answering Yahiko's question, Kakuzu continued, "Where is the leader?"

leader……

Yahiko knew who they were talking about, since Nagato had told him about it. He nodded slightly and said softly, "On the balcony of the leftmost room."

Kakuzu and Hidan didn't say anything about "thank you" or anything like that. They turned around and left the room, heading straight for the leftmost room. They pushed open the door, and some voices could be heard coming from inside...

"Water Release: Water Gun Technique - Sweeping Fire!"

Hozuki Gengetsu strolled leisurely, making a gun-like gesture with his hands. With a series of "bang bang bang" sounds, oval-shaped liquid, shaped like bullets, shot out, shattering the luxurious building...

Rumble…

As the building collapsed, a group of people fled in panic. Some rushed towards the culprit, but as soon as they started their charge, they were hit by powerful "bullets" and fell one after another.

"So weak!"

Another family was wiped out by him, Hozuki Gengetsu sighed softly.

During his reign, the various families were stronger, at least they were able to fight back against his attacks.

but……

Even such a weak family cannot be completely controlled; the Mizukage clan is weak now!

With these thoughts in mind, Hozuki Gengetsu headed towards the location of the next ninja clan.

After all, they had already promised Master Yuan that they would completely wipe out Wuying Village.

"Speaking of which, Master Yuan really knows how to live..."

Hozuki Gengetsu stroked his beard, his thoughts drifting. The clans in Kirigakure no longer posed a threat to him, hence his somewhat lazy demeanor.

"The Second Mizukage?!"

Meanwhile, Kakuzu had arrived at the balcony. He looked at the content playing on the screen, his tone somewhat puzzled.

Jiao Du is quite knowledgeable about movies because they are very profitable. He studied movies for a period of time, but the reason he gave up making movies was also very simple: making movies is very expensive.

Of course, the key point is not the film itself, but that the camera is a recent mechanical invention; it didn't exist decades ago.

and……

Some of the people shown in the video have bounties, not bounties from decades ago, but bounties issued a few years ago.

In other words, what's playing on the screen isn't a video from decades ago, but a recent one...

The Second Mizukage? Recently...

Kakuzu pondered for a moment, wondering why the Second Mizukage had appeared in the ninja world. Was it someone impersonating him, or was it the Second Mizukage himself...?

"Kakuzu, Hidan..."

Before he could think it through, he heard an unfamiliar voice calling his and Hidan's names. Looking in the direction of the voice, he saw a red-haired youth with an eerie purple light emanating from his Rinnegan eyes, which exuded an oppressive aura.

In an instant, Kakuzu understood the identity of the person before him and immediately said respectfully, "Chief."

Hidan also shouted, "Boss!"

Nagato nodded slightly, said nothing, gently patted the tongue-shaped balcony, and said, "Sit down, the others haven't arrived yet, we'll have to wait a while, watch the live stream first."

"What is live streaming?" Kakuzu asked, sitting cross-legged.

Nagato pointed to the screen and explained, "Live broadcast... simply put, it's what's happening in other places, and you can see it here."

Fang Rui: "…………" Although your explanation has some problems, I'm too lazy to correct it.

"Chief, you mean..." Although he didn't finish speaking, Kakuzu's meaning was already very clear.

Nagato nodded slightly, indicating that he was right.

After a moment of silence, Kakuzu recovered, his hand trembling slightly as he pointed at the screen: "Who was impersonating the Second Mizukage?!"

“It’s not fake, it’s him,” Nagato replied.

Kakuzu rubbed his forehead with one hand and gestured for Nagato to stop talking with the other: "Wait a minute, the information I received is a bit outrageous, I need to calm down."

Hidan, standing to the side, also looked somewhat dazed, equally surprised that the Second Mizukage had risen from his coffin.

How could he be resurrected? Who is this Second Mizukage's follower?

The others, unaware of what Hidan was thinking, were discussing other things.

"This matter... is the reason why you summoned us, leader?" Kakuzu, having regained his composure, voiced his guess.

"That's half the reason." Nagato didn't explain in detail, only saying, "Don't think too much about it. I'll explain when everyone arrives. As for now... just watch the live stream."

Kakuzu wanted to make eye contact with someone for a while. To his left was Hidan, who was engrossed in his own world, and to his right were Nagato and Konan, who were watching a live stream...

Huh? Who is that young man?!

Sitting next to the leader, is he a newcomer to the organization?

but……

It has nothing to do with me, and it has nothing to do with anyone else.

Thinking this, Kakuzu slowly withdrew his gaze and sighed softly. He wasn't watching the live stream; instead, he was refining his plan to make money with his shadow clones.

Meanwhile, near Amegakure Village.

A strange white bird soars in the rain, with Deidara and Sasori wearing straw hats sitting on its back.

“I hate rain…” A deep, hoarse voice came from Scorpion’s mouth, his tone full of disgust.

Although he had treated the puppets in a way that made them waterproof and safe to soak in water, he still hated water.

“I hate it too.” Deidara agreed, as rain also affected his art to some extent.

Upon arriving at Amegakure, the two did not land or slow down, but flew straight toward a certain building.

"...It's Deidara."

At the entrance of Amegakure, Kisame Hoshigaki looked up at the white, strange bird that flew past so quickly. Who was the person who controlled the strange bird so easily?

Uchiha Itachi, who was standing next to him, said nothing. His gaze was fixed on the two people walking from the other end of the bridge. His expression gradually darkened, and a surge of anger burned in his heart.

Sensing the killing intent emanating from Itachi Uchiha, Kisame Hoshigaki turned around in surprise: "Itachi-san?"

Ignoring Kisame's doubts, Itachi vanished from the spot in an instant.

The next second, the two people who were speeding across the bridge sensed the danger and jumped to either side without hesitation.

The next instant, pitch-black flames appeared out of nowhere in their path. If they didn't dodge to the sides, they would crash directly into the flames.

"who is it?!"

Fugaku Uchiha's expression was somewhat subtle. How dare you attack Boss Fang's subordinate on his own turf? You're quite brave, you unknown fellow!

The next second, the attacker appeared, and Fugaku Uchiha's face fell.

"Son, it's you!"

'Why aren't you doing your job? What's with this sneak attack on your dad?'

Unlike the speechless Fugaku Uchiha, Itachi Uchiha was indifferent, his intense killing intent was not concealed at all, and the moment his eyes met Fugaku Uchiha's, Itachi had already cast the genjutsu of the Mangekyou Sharingan.

Caught completely off guard, Fugaku Uchiha was instantly pulled into a genjutsu space. Before he could even take a good look at the environment, he saw a group of Itachi Uchiha approaching with swords, seemingly intending to stab him. Meanwhile, he was bound to a cross and unable to escape.

"Truly... showing absolutely no mercy!"

In Fugaku Uchiha's eye sockets, the black and white eyeballs transformed into scarlet Sharingan, and the three tomoe that spun rapidly merged into a shape resembling a windmill.

A surge of powerful pupil energy erupted forth, affecting the illusion space, causing it to vibrate violently, much like a cell phone on vibrate mode.

The space around the cross distorted, preventing Itachi and his companions from getting close.

"Mangekyo Sharingan!!!"

Uchiha Itachi was utterly astonished, then roared, "Who are you?!"

Who do you think I resemble?

Fugaku Uchiha had a stern face, his tone flat and helpless.

Itachi Uchiha instantly understood Fugaku's meaning, but he didn't believe it. After all, he had killed his parents with his own hands; they couldn't possibly still be alive...

With that thought in mind, Itachi Uchiha's expression grew even colder as he clashed with Fugaku Uchiha.
