Konoha: This Uchiha is extremely sneaky

Chapter 407 Self-Reproach

"Zetsu, this mission is entrusted to you~"

The Iwa ninja entrusted two missions to them this time, both of which were suitable for Zetsu to complete.

"After you finish this, remember to keep an eye on Uchiha Toshiro's whereabouts!"

"These two tasks are fine, but finding Uchiha Toshiro won't be easy!"

He hadn't expected that the Jinchuriki of Iwagakure would be lost and that he would be entrusted with finding him; he had indeed come to the right person.

As for Uchiha Toshiro, he is always elusive and can use flying ninjutsu, making him very difficult to track down. Last time Orochimaru asked him for a favor, if he hadn't accidentally discovered Toshiro's whereabouts, he probably wouldn't have been able to find him at all.

"This matter, and the mission assigned by the Iwa ninja, are not urgent; we can take our time searching!"

"no problem!"

Having finished discussing this matter, the next step is to find suitable ninjas and recruit them into the organization. However, this cannot be rushed. It's easy to find some small fry, but truly strong individuals... are not so numerous.

"Nagato, are you really going to bring Uchiha Toshiro into the organization?"

Inside a tall building in Amegakure Village, the architectural style exudes a strange and eerie atmosphere.

Konan, who had just finished organizing a gathering, looked at Nagato beside her with a worried expression in her eyes.

"Also, are we really going to follow Madara's plan and start collecting the Tailed Beasts? That would make us enemies of the Five Great Nations!"

As a woman, Konan was also heartbroken by the death of her lover, but the deed was done, and the murderer, Hanzo the Salamander, was also dead.

She felt that the matter could end here.

"Minami, I will never forget the day Yahiko died!"

"I also hope that no one else will ever have to go through the pain I have experienced!"

Although Konan did not approve of Madara's plan, he still insisted on doing it.

In his plan, the five great nations would be without their tailed beasts, and he would control the Ten-Tails, thus gaining absolute power and becoming a 'god' among humans.

At that time, the peace that Yahiko hopes for will surely see the dawn, just like the name of their organization.

"But that Uchiha Madara is not trustworthy! And your body can't withstand any more damage."

Looking at Nagato's emaciated body, Konan's eyes filled with pity.

She knew that Nagato had always felt guilty for killing Yahiko with his own hands and had been deeply remorseful about it for so many years.

She also tried to persuade the other party.

But... it seems that Nagato is completely unable to move on from that incident.

"Minami, this is Yahiko's dream!"

Whether it's becoming a god or bringing peace to the world, these are Yahiko's dreams, and all he can do now is help Yahiko fulfill those dreams.

……

the other side.

After spending some time finding the person who was in contact with the Akatsuki, Toshiro secretly took control of the person and then assigned the task of finding Rōshi and another mission to the Akatsuki.

Toshiro headed straight for Kirigakure.

"Oh! Mr. Fujiwara, how did business go this time?"

Inside a high-end inn in Kirigakure, a portly owner whose eyes were almost invisible when he smiled squinted and greeted a middle-aged businessman with a small mustache on his chin.

"Not bad. In another ten days or so, I can sell this batch of goods!"

"I'm very grateful for the boss's care these past few days... I'll definitely thank him properly later!"

The owner, Fujiwara, with a small mustache, a tall and robust build, and a prosperous appearance, seemed to be making promises to the innkeeper with a broad smile, as if he was about to sell his goods.

"Then I wish Mr. Fujiwara all the best in his business!"

This Fujiwara boss, who came from the land of craftsmen, is a very generous customer. Because the goods he has are all luxury items that he cannot sell quickly, he has been staying in his shop for almost four months.

In addition, he was a very generous guest, and the hotel owner treated him very obsequiously.

"You idiots, hurry up and lead the way for Lord Fujiwara! Stop standing here like that, waiting for those ninjas to take you away for questioning!"

Given Fujiwara's generosity, he introduced several merchants from the village to the other party. Once the business is done, the returns will surely be very generous.

Upon realizing this, the innkeeper hurriedly urged his men to lead the way for the other party.

This is one of my most important customers, so I can't treat them poorly.

The ninjas mentioned by the boss seemed to possess some kind of magic. Upon hearing those two words, his servants seemed to be frightened and rushed forward to clear a path for Toshiro.

"The boss is so incredibly welcoming!"

Following behind these people with measured steps, Toshiro, disguised as the merchant Fujiwara, was not surprised that these servants were so terrified upon hearing the word "ninja".

This is a characteristic of the Blood Mist; let alone bloodline ninjas, even ordinary ninjas can cause these civilians great panic.

"Things are a bit tricky."

Back in his room, Toshiro felt a headache coming on.

Considering the special nature of Kirigakure, Toshiro did not act in his true form, but instead used the alias of Fujiwara, a merchant, in order to avoid the sight of White Zetsu.

Of course, Fujiwara is a real person, but he was no good. After being dealt with, he took his goods and came to Kirigakure.

He has collected six portions of the tailed beast's chakra, completing two-thirds of his goal.

However, the remaining three-tailed, four-tailed, and six-tailed creatures are a bit troublesome.

As for the Six-Tails, he has already scouted the location and is just waiting for a time to collect its chakra.

However, the three-tailed and four-tailed ones are a bit troublesome.

There has been no news from the Akatsuki organization regarding the Four-Tails, and even dealing with the Three-Tails is proving difficult.

Based on the intelligence he had gathered over the past few days, the Fourth Mizukage was undoubtedly under Obito's control. Moreover, in order to implement the Blood Mist Plan, he was not only elusive in his movements, but also accompanied by a large number of guards, and his presence was filled with White Zetsu.

It is virtually impossible for him to obtain the Three-Tails' chakra silently.

"It seems we can't choose to make our move here in Kirigakure!"

To go all the way, a week later.

Toshiro decided that he could not handle this matter on the other side's home turf, and he had to find a way to transfer Yagura away from Kirigakure.

That night, after obtaining the Six-Tails' chakra, Toshiro left Kirigakure and began to carry out his next plan.

Unbeknownst to him, it was precisely because of his disguise that he was not discovered by White Zetsu and also avoided Payne.

However, these are all temporary.
