Evil Uchiha brat, I'll marry you myself.

Gu Mu held up an oil-paper umbrella, letting Uchiha Shizuru hold his arms tightly with both hands, his face beaming with a satisfied smile.

"Oh right, I forgot to tell you, my current identity is that of a Konoha rogue ninja," Koki said suddenly, as if remembering something.

"Well, let them be rogue ninjas. If they dare to cause trouble, I won't let them off easily."

Uchiha Shizuka nodded calmly, her tone revealing a coldness and determination, like an unquestionable queen, full of domineering presence.

"Is my Jing Shui really that domineering?" Gu Mu couldn't help but tease, a hint of a smile flashing in his eyes.

"So, can I live off a woman? I don't want to work hard anymore," Gu Mu joked, his tone tinged with laziness.

"Tell me your plan, and I'll help you." Uchiha Shizuru wasn't amused by Koki's joke; instead, she became serious and looked at Koki intently.

"Ah this..."

Gu Mu was somewhat surprised. He had only made a casual remark, but he didn't expect Uchiha Shizuru to respond to him so seriously.

He was speechless for a moment, and muttered to himself: Could it be that I'll really have to live off a woman in the future?

Hearing this, Uchiha Shizuru blinked her large, watery eyes, a hint of doubt in them, and asked softly:

"Is that alright? Then you can conquer the entire ninja world and give it to me as my dowry!"

Gu Mu was slightly taken aback, unsure how to respond for a moment.

He originally thought he had gone too far with his recent actions, but now it seems that Jing Shui is the real ruthless one!

She actually casually mentioned attacking the ninja world; she's practically a battle maniac.

However, Koki did not immediately agree to Uchiha Shizuru's proposal.

He decided to explain his plan to Jing Shui first.

So, Gu Mu told Jing Shui all about his thoughts.

It was simply a way to subtly put pressure on Nagato, forcing him to eventually revive the two of them completely.

Because the black and red cloud robe worn by the ancient tree was the exclusive uniform of the Akatsuki organization.

The two passed through without hindrance and soon arrived at the entrance of the Akatsuki's base.

"Gu Mu, what do you mean by this? Who is this person next to you?"

Guided by Nagato, Konan used the Shikigami Dance to approach the two.

"This person also wants to join Akatsuki. Should we inform the leader?"

Hearing that Uchiha Shizumi, who was next to Koki, also wanted to join the Akatsuki organization.

Xiao Nan's eyes flickered, and she glanced at the woman with long, straight black hair standing next to Gu Mu, who had a cold and aloof expression, like an iceberg beauty.

However, before Konan could lead the two inside and report the mission, Kisame Hoshigaki, who had just come out of the base, froze on the spot when he saw Shizumi Uchiha's black-robed figure.

He rubbed his eyes in disbelief.

"This...this...Mr. Itachi, I'm definitely under a genjutsu! I actually saw the Second Mizukage!!"

Chapter 111 Sasuke: I'm so strong, you son of a bitch!

"Kisame, you weren't under a genjutsu, but that person, was he really the Second Mizukage?"

Uchiha Itachi looked at the old tree that was talking to Konan not far away.

Deep in his eyes was a strong sense of fear.

Fortunately, Sasuke has now become a rogue ninja of Konoha, so Koki, who is also a rogue ninja, should not harm him.

"That's right, that person is definitely the Second Mizukage."

Kisame Hoshigaki recalled the enormous sculpture that stood in the center of Kirigakure, its cold and beautiful face representing the perfect faith in the hearts of countless Kirigakure ninja.

"Shall we go and have a chat?"

Itachi Uchiha asked in a questioning tone.

"Huh? Well... never mind."

Kisame Hoshigaki scratched his head, looking unusually conflicted. His idol had suddenly appeared in front of him, and he felt he needed some time to process the situation.

Upon hearing this, Itachi Uchiha did not offer any advice, but merely glanced at Shizuka Uchiha out of the corner of his eye, beginning to speculate about the nature of this mangekyou Sharingan ability.

As someone who also possesses the Mangekyou Sharingan, Itachi Uchiha clearly understands just how terrifying the power of those eyes is.

"Hey, you rascals, those two guys over there have been secretly watching us."

Should we kill them?

Walking through the base's corridors, Uchiha Shizusui spoke to the ancient tree beside him, offering a reminder.

"You... even though Kisame Hoshigaki is your fanboy."

Gu Mu rolled his eyes.

"A fanboy?"

Uchiha Shizumi looked puzzled, then instantly understood. She was referring to Kisame Hoshigaki, who looked remarkably like the Hoshigaki clan from their Hidden Mist Village.

.......

"Mr. Gu Mu, who is this person?"

Pain looked at the aloof, long-haired woman with black hair beside Koki with a hint of doubt in his eyes.

"Hello, my name is Uchiha Shizumizu, a rogue ninja from Konoha. I would like to join the Akatsuki organization, is that alright?" Uchiha Shizumizu introduced herself.

"Uchiha?"

Pain's eyes held a hint of doubt. Wasn't the Uchiha clan almost completely wiped out by Itachi? How come another one has appeared?

"Kouki-kun, is this person also an impure spirit?" Pain's eyes held a hint of apprehension. Anyone who could stay by Kouki's side and be brought back from the impure spirit realm was definitely not simple.

“That’s right, so Chief, you don’t need to worry, right? After all, we need your strength,” Gu Mu said with a smile.

"Ah... alright, Xiao Nan, why don't you go and prepare an outfit for her?"

Deep in the mountains, Nagato suddenly felt a surge of pressure. If he were to revive two powerful figures, it would truly cost him his life.

"Since you two know each other, it just so happens that our Akatsuki organization always forms teams of two people."

"If you two need my power, you'll have to show me your worth. How about we capture a tailed beast instead?"

Pain spoke slightly.

"By the way, let me tell you something. Our Akatsuki organization's ultimate goal is to collect all the Tailed Beasts and establish a ninja world without war. So, are you two willing to work together on this great cause?"

Nagato finally extended a sincere invitation.

These two are definitely not weak in combat. If we can truly accept his ideas, then the implementation of the plan will be much easier.

"Of course, as long as the leader can fully revive us, everything is negotiable."

Gu Mu neither agreed nor refused.

"Complete resurrection. If my ideal can be realized, what does it matter if it comes at the cost of your lives to bring you back to life?"

Pain's domineering voice surprised Konan, who was standing next to him.

She could tell that Nagato was serious.

If the ninja world truly achieves peace in the future, he would indeed risk his life to revive these two.

"Alright, that's enough with the leader's words. We'll take our leave now."

Koki nodded, but whether he said anything about Nobunaga was unknown.

"Damn it, is this organization's ideology really that noble?"

Only by truly taking on the challenge can one understand how difficult it is to fight against the power of the entire ninja world.

Uchiha Shizusui was one of the challengers.

As for the outcome, it was naturally her untimely death.

"If it were before, this might still be true, but now..."

Gu Mu simply told Uchiha Shizumi about what would happen in the future.

When she learned that the organization was actually just a pawn being used by others, she was immediately discouraged.

Uchiha Shizumizu had initially thought that another ninja world war could be started.

I wonder if that little dwarf from the Land of Earth is still alive!

.....

Soon, in order to gain Nagato's trust, the two prepared to travel to a ninja country to capture a tailed beast.

As for which country it was, members of Akatsuki went there for the One-Tailed, Two-Tailed, and Three-Tailed creatures.

As for Kirigakure, unsurprisingly, the tailed beasts were likely controlled by Obito Uchiha.

So, of the remaining tailed beasts, the only one that truly reflects the strength of Koki and Uchiha Shizumi is the Eight-Tails.

However, on their way to the Land of Lightning, Koki and Uchiha Shizumi, who were perched on a large tree, saw an interesting person appear below.

That person was none other than Sasuke, who had escaped from Konoha, and Orochimaru, who helped him leave Konoha and wanted to take over his body.
