Born with a great love for the Uchiha

Inside the Hokage's office.

Gen Uchiha is using the [Illusionary Body Technique] to reverse-locate members of the Akatsuki.

According to Juzo Biwa, the rings worn by ordinary members of the Akatsuki organization are not capable of locking onto the location information of other members.

But in the realm of "Great Love".

The so-called "cannot" is a complete joke!

With the help of the "Great Love" technique, Gen Uchiha basically pinpointed the locations of the remaining Akatsuki members.

Pain, Konan, and Zetsu are the three from Amegakure in the Land of Rain.

Kakuzu, Orochimaru, and Sasori of the Red Sand are near a desert in the Land of Wind.

"I found you..."

Within the mental space of the [Illusionary Body Technique].

"Uchiha Gen..."

Pain actively dispelled the [Illusionary Body Technique].

"Soon, we will meet on the real battlefield..."

The figures on the demonic statue of the heretic gradually shattered, their enormous bodies turning into phantoms, and the spiritual space began to collapse and dissipate.

The last [wooden clone] transmitted its memories back to the original body.

"The real battlefield..."

After digesting the memories, Uchiha Gen raised an eyebrow.

He meticulously reviewed and memorized the memories and information he had gathered during his journey through the mental space.

"That Black Zetsu guy... is he really planning to play dead for good...? He was completely silent just now..."

A moment later.

Gen Uchiha's gaze returned to the table.

The two Death Masks still lay there quietly.

The known method to break the Reaper Death Seal of Uchiha Gen comes from Orochimaru.

However, he could learn from Orochimaru's methods, but he couldn't copy them exactly.

How did Orochimaru break the Reaper Death Seal?

I cast the [Dead Demon Seal] to summon the Grim Reaper, and before the Grim Reaper can seal my soul, I transfer my soul into a new body.

How could Gen Uchiha copy this method?

Does this mean that in order to unseal the Yin Nine-Tailed Fox, he has to give up his current body?

"Nine-Ra, stay inside the mask for a few more days..."

Gen Uchiha put away the two [Death God Masks].

He planned to focus his attention on dealing with the [Death Mask] and Yin Jiuwei after some time had passed.

As for now...

Uchiha Gen stood up from his office chair, walked to the window, and looked down at the view of Konoha.

"The Land of Rain... the Land of Wind... and the Land of Earth..."

Three different goals flashed through Gen Uchiha's mind.

Going to the Land of Rain is aimed at Pain and Black Zetsu;

Going to the Land of Wind is to help Sunagakure solve its problems and, incidentally, capture Orochimaru;

Going to the Land of Earth is to fulfill a promise I made with the Third Tsuchikage's son, Hirotsuchi...

"Let's go to Iwagakure!"

Gen Uchiha made a decision.

"Once you miss this opportunity, you won't find another one."

"It's perfect to use 'Akatsuki' as a bargaining chip to give the two scales, Onoki, a bit of a pushover."

Chapter 170 The Akatsuki Organization Falls Apart!

The Land of Rain, the Hidden Village of Rain.

Payne voluntarily dispelled the [Illusionary Body Technique], and his consciousness returned to the real world.

The first figure to catch his eye, with his [Rinnegan], was none other than Konan, who had a worried expression on her face.

"Nagato..."

Konan frowned, her expression heavy, and unconsciously called out Payne's real name.

"The Fifth Hokage of Konoha has discovered our plan to capture the Tailed Beasts."

"Um……"

Pain gave a brief response.

At this moment, most of his attention was still focused on the Akatsuki ring on his finger.

The light of Konoha just now attempted to use the mental link of the [Illusionary Body Technique] to pinpoint the location of the Akatsuki members.

However, as the true caster of the "Illusionary Body Technique," Pain was more likely than the Leaf Village Light to pinpoint the location of the other members.

"As expected... the rings of Obito Uchiha, Kisame Hoshigaki, and Juzo Biwa are all currently concentrated in Konoha..."

Pain just said those words.

He then realized that his connection to the three rings, including the [Vermilion] Ring, had been deliberately severed.

Clearly, the Fifth Hokage discovered his actions and either sealed the [Shu] Ring or destroyed the [Shu] Ring and other rings.

Regardless of the type, the Akatsuki organization is destined to lose those three expensive ninja tools crafted from chakra crystals.

Pain temporarily spared Konoha and began to sense the location of the [Void] ring worn by Orochimaru.

Orochimaru was also wary of Pain.

After voluntarily withdrawing from the mental space constructed by the [Illusionary Body Technique], Orochimaru sealed the [Void] Ring, unilaterally severing Pain's connection to him.

"Orochimaru has really defected."

Pain withdrew his senses expressionlessly.

Before the Tailed Beast Capture Plan began, the Akatsuki organization had a total of nine members.

After capturing one of the seven tails.

The number of members in the Akatsuki organization was reduced to five.

Pain, Konan, Zetsu, Kakuzu, Sasori.

They even completely ruled out mentioning this logistics intelligence officer.

Only four members of the Akatsuki organization remained who were truly capable of fighting.

There are as many as eight tailed beasts that have not yet been captured!

If distributed equally, each Akatsuki member could receive two tailed beasts...

This still includes Kakuzu and Sasori.

Pain was also unable to determine whether these two S-rank rogue ninjas had any intention of leaving the organization.

If Sasori and Kakuzu were to leave Akatsuki directly like Orochimaru did...

That leaves only three official members of the Akatsuki organization.

Let's set aside the intelligence gathering personnel.

Pain and Konan each need to fight four tailed beasts...

It's impossible no matter how you look at it.

Akatsuki's plan to capture the Tailed Beasts has completely failed.

"Absolutely brilliant."

Pain's gaze was fixed on the intelligence officer who emerged from the shadows, and he spoke calmly.

"Obito Uchiha and his team failed in their mission to capture the Six-Tails. What are your thoughts on this?"

How can I possibly see this?!

Black Zetsu was extremely frustrated.

My eyes are almost blinded from looking!

Black Zetsu regretted more than once choosing Uchiha Obito as the candidate to carry out the "Infinite Tsukuyomi Project".

Now, Obito Uchiha has fully proven one thing with his strength and performance...

He really is a useless piece of trash!

"...I am only responsible for providing intelligence."

Black Zetsu remained silent for a long time before finally managing to squeeze out a response.

"The information I left for Obito and the others was absolutely accurate; they would be captured by that Light of Konoha..."

"It's not that Obito and his group were too weak, but that Gen Uchiha was too strong."

Pain's Rinnegan coldly observed the inhuman monster before him.

"Then why didn't you discover in time that Obito Uchiha and the others had been captured by the combined forces of Konoha and Kirigakure?"

This is a question that Black Zetsu really finds difficult to answer.

Does it mean it hasn't been paying attention to Obito Uchiha because it's been busy making deals with Orochimaru lately?
