Naruto: I've already fought against all five Kage, and the system only just arrived.

After everything is ready.

On their ten fingers, Yu Yixuanyue, Kisame, and the others formed hand seals once more.

moment!

The Gedo Mazo opened its maw, and Utakata was suddenly suspended in mid-air, just like Han, the Five-Tails Jinchuriki. The Six-Tails' chakra surged out of his body and continuously flowed into the Gedo Mazo.

Because of Yu Gao's initiative to cooperate.

This time, the extraction of the tailed beasts was much faster.

In just half a day.

The fourth eye on the statue of the Outer Path was about to fully open.

Yu Yi Xuan Yue appeared beside Yu Gao, waved his hand, intercepted the last small part of the Six-Tails' chakra, and injected it into Yu Gao's body. Then, he placed his right hand on Yu Gao's chest and used Yin Yang Release.

soon.

After the six tails were extracted, the Gedo Mazo opened its fourth eye.

Utakata, the former Jinchūriki of the Six-Tails, fell alive from the sky.

Everything went smoothly.

From then on, the Outer Path Demon Statue in Yu Yi Xuan Yue's hands had four tails, five tails, six tails, and seven tails.

The Tailed Beast Capture Project will continue!

Chapter 223 What about my huge Akatsuki organization?

Obito Uchiha had just made a trip to the Land of Lightning.

The purpose was to find out the whereabouts of the Two-Tails Jinchuriki and the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki.

Unlike Konoha and other ninja villages, which are known for producing many S-rank talents, Kumogakure is famous for having very few rogue ninjas.

Over the years, not a single Kumo ninja has been among the Akatsuki's many rogue ninja.

Without any introductions from acquaintances, the Akatsuki organization knew the least about Kumogakure.

Even with White Zetsu possessing exceptional infiltration and intelligence-gathering abilities, few could obtain core information in the heavily militarized and heavily guarded Hidden Cloud Village.

The movements of the Jinchūriki are one of the core pieces of intelligence.

Obito Uchiha personally took action, not to immediately capture the Two-Tails and the Eight-Tails.

After all, he was still waiting for the five great ninja villages and Hagoromo Gengetsu to cause a big scene so that he and the Akatsuki could reap the benefits.

This trip was merely a preliminary reconnaissance mission, to gather information beforehand so that the subsequent plan to capture the tailed beasts could be implemented smoothly.

This operation was as expected.

With his unpredictable space-time eye technique and the White Zetsu's levitation technique, Obito Uchiha discovered the movement patterns of the Two-Tails and Eight-Tails Jinchuriki, as well as their usual locations, without alerting them.

Just as he returned to Amegakure full of confidence, preparing to inform Pain of the intelligence, that Akatsuki's great cause was about to be accomplished and that their shared wish was about to be fulfilled.

None of the original owners were present at the highest tower in Amegakure.

Looking at the empty tower, Obito Uchiha initially didn't pay much attention and casually asked:

"Has Payne gone out again?"

"It would be best to ask the White Zetsu here about this," replied Black Zetsu, who had just returned from the Land of Lightning with Obito Uchiha.

Soon, a white Zetsu slowly rose from the ground, grinning as it said, "Pain has gone out to capture the Six-Tails Jinchuriki."

"Is there already news about the Six-Tails Jinchuriki? That's good."

Obito Uchiha nodded in satisfaction.

The harder Payne works, the closer his Eye of the Moon project gets to success.

If Pain, the one behind him, were still alive, Obito Uchiha, as the mastermind behind the Infinite Tsukuyomi, wouldn't mind letting him live in the world he envisioned, achieving peace in the ninja world in the way he desired.

This is a manifestation of his benevolence.

"only"

Just as he finished speaking, Bai Jue scratched his head, his smile fading slightly, and then spoke again.

Obito Uchiha and Black Zetsu immediately looked over.

"But what?" Black Zetsu asked.

Having lived for a thousand years, what he disliked most were words like "but" and "however".

This means there are variables.

As expected, White Zetsu shrugged and said, "What's puzzling is that the White Zetsu who followed Pain haven't sent back any messages these past two days. I don't know if they're deliberately being lazy or if something unexpected happened."

"Has White Zetsu not sent back any message?"

Uchiha Obito frowned.

Doesn't that mean Payne has been out of contact for two or three days?

Although White Zetsu has a strong ability to hide, it's not like it hasn't gotten into trouble over the years.

After all, there are too many strange and wonderful things in the ninja world. Even someone like White Zetsu, who often walks by the river, will inevitably lose contact at some point.

However, this time, it was Pain who was by White Zetsu's side.

Obito Uchiha did not believe that anyone could eliminate White Zetsu under his nose.

Unless someone defeats Payne?

Uchiha Obito shook his head.

impossible.

With the power of Pain's Rinnegan, almost no one in the ninja world could rival him.

The only possible one is Yu Yi.

Obito Uchiha paused abruptly, his expression turning somewhat grim.

At this time, Yu Yi Gengetsu should be busy dealing with the pressure from the ninja world, led by the five great ninja villages, and shouldn't have any conflicts with the Akatsuki organization.

Furthermore, he had met with Yu Yi Xuan Yue a year ago, and the other party did not show any malice towards Xiao.

The other party couldn't possibly do that.

Thinking of this, Obito Uchiha was about to breathe a sigh of relief.

wrong!

Suddenly, another thought came to mind.

Pain's Rinnegan!!!

For others to try and covet the Rinnegan is like throwing good money after bad—it's a one-way street.

But if Yu Yi Xuan Yue were to spy on it...

Obito Uchiha clenched his fist.

Could it be such a coincidence?

Even now, Obito Uchiha is unaware that, with Black Zetsu's help, Hagoromo Gengetsu has learned the truth about the Eye of the Moon Plan and has even become interested in it.

Within his understanding, the most he could think of was the possibility that Yu Yi Xuan Yue would accidentally meet Pain and seize the Rinnegan.

Now, Obito Uchiha only hopes that his guess is wrong.

He anxiously instructed Black Zetsu, "Black Zetsu, contact Pain using the ring."

Obito Uchiha, who goes by the alias Tobi, is not yet a formal member of the Akatsuki organization and does not possess the Akatsuki Ring.

Black Zetsu, or more precisely, Zetsu who is merged with White Zetsu and encased in pitcher plants, naturally possesses a ring as the Black Tortoise of Akatsuki.

Black Zetsu nodded.

He had also guessed what Obito Uchiha had thought of.

'Was it really Yu Yi Xuan Yue who did this? This guy's efficiency is off the charts!'

Black Zetsu pondered, channeling chakra into the ring and unleashing a wave of longing.

If Payne wishes, he can receive the thought waves and have them appear beside him in the form of a hologram to communicate with him.

Just one second. Five seconds. Ten seconds

A minute passed.

Payne did not respond.

"Something's gone wrong!" Black Zetsu said in a deep voice.

Uchiha Obito was silent.

The Rinnegan is an indispensable part of the plan.

If anything goes wrong, all the meticulous planning I've done over the years, and my dream of creating a truly beautiful world, will vanish like a bubble.

This must never be allowed to happen!

Obito Uchiha forced himself to calm down and quickly gave the order:

"Send another team of White Zetsu to the area where we lost contact to investigate! We can't let any clue slip by!"

"In addition, inform the other members of Akatsuki that all missions are temporarily suspended and they should proceed to Base A3 to regroup."

"Yes!"

Knowing that "Lord Madara" was in a bad mood, White Zetsu didn't dare to be presumptuous. He quickly responded and sank into the ground.

After explaining everything, Obito Uchiha didn't just wait around; instead, he quickly headed to the Gedo Mazo's secret base.

Black Zetsu was pondering whether this change was beneficial or detrimental to him when he saw Obito Uchiha suddenly leave, so he followed him.

soon.

Inside the secret base, the area that should have been occupied by the Outer Path Demon Statue was now completely empty.
