Ninja World: I'm really a support-type ninja

"Scorpion, if you have a good plan, you can tell me."

Xiao Nan used a strategy of retreat to advance, saying, "If everyone feels that your plan is feasible, then the organization's future actions will follow your proposal."

"Scorpion, what do you think?"

Konan's aura surged, and her Kage-level presence pressed down on Sasori.

Sasori, hidden in the Hiruko, looked at Konan, wanting to make a move but holding back, because Obito Uchiha was watching him intently from the side.

Sasori didn't have much contact with Obito Uchiha, but his sense of danger told him that the guy with the vortex mask was someone he shouldn't easily provoke, just like Nagato.

Therefore, Scorpion did not answer Konan's aggressive question.

"Since you don't have any good suggestions, then calm down and listen to me."

After a pause of about three seconds, Konan continued, "My plan is this: temporarily shift the organization's focus away from Konoha and save this tough nut for last."

"First, our priority now is to continue recruiting members for the organization, with the main target still being rogue ninja from various villages."

"Secondly, Ichiru will refuse to accept any missions related to Konoha in the future."

"Third, we will take action against all the ninja villages except Konoha, and make them submit to our Akatsuki organization as much as possible."

"Fourth, do your best to hide yourself, and be very careful in your future actions to avoid attracting the attention of Konoha."

"Fifth, we will integrate the various independent ninja forces, starting with the easier ones and gradually moving to the more difficult ones. Once we have accumulated enough strength, we will launch a general offensive against Konoha."

Konan explained the Akatsuki's subsequent action plan, which was what Obito asked her to say, and was also part of the plan that Akira Hatake had previously told Obito.

"Chief, you're being a bit delusional."

Sasori immediately retorted, "Do you really think the people who control Konoha are fools, and that those ninja forces are made of clay?"

“Recruiting members is certainly possible, but their strength is questionable.”

"With varying levels of strength, conquering some ninja villages will become difficult. If the delay goes on for too long, it will inevitably attract the attention of Konoha."

"Konoha is currently the most powerful village in the entire ninja world. Once they discover our intentions and whereabouts, we will face a devastating blow!"

Sasori's words were discouraging, but that was the truth; Konoha's current situation was exactly as Sasori described.

Sasori was also puzzled: Konoha already had this much strength, so why were they still willing to stay in the Land of Fire and not move?

“Scorpion, you’ve considered everything very thoroughly, but there’s one thing you might not be aware of: our Akatsuki organization is currently strong enough to control or destroy a small ninja village in a very short time.”

Pop, pop, pop!

Xiao Nan clapped her hands, and three figures emerged from the shadows.

They were all wearing Akatsuki uniforms with black backgrounds and auspicious clouds, and they were all extremely robust.

Soon, the Akatsuki members present saw the three of them clearly; they were quite ordinary, like extras.

However, the strength and background of the three are not as simple as they seem on the surface.

"Let me introduce the new member of the organization to everyone."

Konan pointed to one of the three, "Kaguya Seiichiro, Shikotsumyaku bloodline limit, Kage-level strength, his taijutsu is unparalleled, and he has almost developed Shikotsumyaku bloodline limit to its limit."

"Mōchū of the Mizuki clan possesses the Ice Release Kekkei Genkai, and has mastered many of the Mizuki clan's secret techniques. He is incredibly powerful and has reached the Kage level."

"Libra's Heartless, a natural user of Sage Mode energy, a sensory ninja, capable of using Sage Mode, with Kage-level strength."

After introducing the three, Xiao Nan looked at Sasori and asked, "Sasori, do you think there will still be problems with the plan I proposed after these three joined the organization?"

"no problem."

Scorpion retreated back into the organization; he had lost all his temper.

Sasori couldn't immediately discern the true nature of the three ninjas who had just joined Akatsuki, but just from Konan's introduction, he knew they were not to be trifled with.

Once Sasori had no further objections, Obito Uchiha finally felt relieved.

The three clones that Akira Hatake provided to him were Orochimaru's three experimental subjects, and the souls inside them were Orochimaru's former subordinates whom he had summoned back from the Pure Land.

They had practical experience, their bodies adapted well, and they had a lot of chakra. But the only pity was that these three people did not live long, only two years and three months.

This is a major drawback of clones, and even though Orochimaru tried his best to solve it, it was to no avail.

To allow clones to mature as quickly as possible, it is necessary to bypass the time limit of normal human development, thereby achieving leapfrog growth.

Naturally, if a clone can develop ahead of schedule, it means that its lifespan will be short.

After two years and three months, the clone's body will collapse and disintegrate. Even if it tries its best to maintain it, it can only last for another month or two.

This type of clone is fine for temporary emergency use, but it's unrealistic to expect it to serve as a regular combat force or source of manpower.

The process of cultivating clones is extremely expensive.

The cost of one replica is already thirty million taels, and three replicas are approaching one hundred million.

If one wanted to form an army using clones, even emptying the coffers of Konoha and the Land of Fire might not be enough.

Even if the combined power of the entire ninja world could create an unparalleled army of Kage-level ninjas with bloodline limits, the short lifespan of the clones makes the plan seem somewhat counterproductive.

So when Akira Hatake handed over these three clones to Obito Uchiha so that he could replenish the Akatsuki organization with fresh blood, his heart was bleeding.

This is all money!

But it doesn't matter. Once the Akatsuki organization is fattened up and Hatake's objective is achieved, they can be incorporated into the organization. Then, the money they plunder will belong to Konoha.

"Alright, since everyone has no questions, I'll now arrange the next tasks."

With no one objecting, Konan naturally set the tone for the Akatsuki's future actions.

Now that the decision has been made, assigning tasks becomes inevitable.

"hooligan."

Konan looked at Uchiha Obito and assigned him a task, "Take Kaguya Seiichiro and go to Takigakure to see if there's an opportunity to make a move."

“Okay.” Obito Uchiha nodded in agreement.

It's worth mentioning that since Konan became the leader of Akatsuki, the codenames have been abolished because nine codenames were still too few.

So, Konan simply called the Akatsuki members by their names, which was not only easy to remember but also less likely to cause confusion.

"Scorpion, team up with Minazuki Mangqu and head to the Land of Craftsmen."

Konan looked at Sasori and Minazuki Mangukyu, "The Land of Craftsmen has a technology that might be able to deal with the powerful Konoha, and even change the nature of war in the ninja world to some extent."

"If you can control the Kingdom of Craftsmen quietly, that would be best. But if you can't, you must call on Afei to support you immediately."

"I see."

Sasori, hidden in Hiruko, seemed somewhat displeased, and Konan's words seemed to imply that she was questioning her own abilities.

With emotions swirling around him, Scorpion couldn't help but glance at Mizuki Mangqu, who was already standing beside him.

Ignoring Sasori, Konan looked at the last loquat, Juzo.

"Pipa Juzo, you team up with Libra's Heartless and head to the Land of Snow. If you can take control, then do so; if not, focus on gathering intelligence."

"I understand, Chief."

Pipa Juzo nodded in agreement, and like Sasori, he curiously looked at the burly man standing in front of him.

As for why he didn't arrange those two clones for Juzo Biwa, it was naturally because Obito Uchiha was afraid of revealing a trap.

After all, both the Minazuki and Kaguya clans are well-known bloodline families in Kirigakure.

And since Juzo Biwa was a rogue ninja from Kirigakure, he would inevitably ask the two of them about the situation in Kirigakure.

If you ask around too much, you might accidentally reveal something.

To avoid unnecessary trouble, it was natural to separate Pipa Juzo from the two of them.

"Now that everyone understands their mission, let's get going."

Konan looked at Kakuzu, who was doing nothing, and said, "If you need funds, you can go and discuss it with Kakuzu yourselves. As for you, Kakuzu, continue with your previous mission."

After saying that, Konan turned and left, and the Akatsuki members also dispersed and left.

However, getting money from Kakuzu is incredibly difficult, sometimes even leading to fights.

Although there were no casualties, Kakuzu's penny-pinching nature still saved the Akatsuki a lot of money.

Kakuzu's task is quite simple: to guard his money box within the Akatsuki organization and, incidentally, to collect a few bounty missions from the black market.

It can satisfy Kakuzu's love of making money and also enrich the Akatsuki's financial reserves to some extent.

"Ming, what brings you here?"

Just as Obito Uchiha used Kamui to get to Konan's side, preparing to reinforce the genjutsu to better control her, Akira Hatake suddenly appeared beside them.

"come and see."

Akira Hatake spun his wheelchair around the aloof and elegant Minami twice, "What a pity..."

"Ha, so you, Akira Hatake, know how to be chivalrous now?"

Obito Uchiha crossed his arms and scoffed, "If you're not in a hurry, get out of the way. I need to reinforce the genjutsu I put on her. If she breaks free, things will get really messed up."

With a gesture of his hand, Akira Hatake indicated to Obito Uchiha that he could do as he pleased, while he continued to wander around the Akatsuki base.

Aren't you afraid of being discovered?

After reinforcing Konan's genjutsu, Obito glared at Akira Hatake, "I don't believe you came here today just to visit the Akatsuki base."

"I'm not here for a visit, I have something to tell you."

"Wouldn't it be more convenient for you to just use your spatial abilities to send messages?"

"Is it appropriate to send a person this way?"

As Akira Hatake reached out, the spatial barrier was rapidly shortened, and the figure that Obito Uchiha had longed for appeared before him.

"Lin!"

"Obito!"

The two hugged as soon as they met, feeding Akira Hatake a mouthful of dog food (a Chinese slang term for witnessing public displays of affection).

Although Akira Hatake has Kurenai Yuhi, she's not around now, so it's practically useless.

"Alright, I've delivered the person, I'm leaving now."

"Remember, don't give yourself away!"
