Glancing at the 14400 Soul Points he still had, he decided not to rush into the lottery and to save up more later.
This thing is hard to come by, and you never know when you might need to use it, like when you forcibly used the [Curse Tool Conversion Card] just now.
Therefore, it is very necessary to keep some for emergencies.
Looking at it this way, this trip to the Land of Wind was not only not a loss, but a huge success.
Shinji was secretly pleased and began to look through the various information about cursed spirits he had bought from the exchange, pondering where to go next to make another killing!
. . . . . . . . .
A cave on the border between the Land of Grass and the Land of Rain.
The barrier was opened, and two people dressed in fiery cloud robes walked straight in.
At the appointed time, Nagato, who was in a tower in the Land of Rain, immediately activated the Illusionary Body Technique, amplifying the "thought waves" emitted by the other members of Akatsuki and then displaying them as illusions in a specific location.
hum-
In the dimly lit cave, illusions displaying seven-colored shimmering patterns appeared in their respective locations.
"Summoning everyone again so soon, is there a new mission?"
The first to ask was the illusion of Deidara with his hair in a topknot, which drew a glance from Sasori, who was hiding in Hiruko, probably because he thought Sasori was not steady enough.
The illusion of Pain slowly spoke: "Not long ago, a type of unidentified creature suddenly appeared in the ninja world."
"Thanks to the damage and threats these unidentified creatures have caused to various countries, our Akatsuki organization has received many job offers and thus earned a lot of money."
"The main reason for gathering everyone here is to hear your opinions on these kinds of unidentified creatures."
Many people were surprised and didn't understand what the leader meant.
But you've definitely asked the right person, because the number of 'monsters' who have died at their hands is countless.
"Weak and easily defeated!"
Kakuzu, who was the first to come into contact with these unidentified creatures, was the first to express his opinion.
For a moment, no one else spoke, as if Kakuzu's description represented some of their thoughts.
But after a brief silence, Scorpion, who is usually taciturn, surprisingly gave a different opinion.
"It has strong growth potential and is quite unique."
He didn't explain after he finished speaking, and then there was another awkward silence.
Feeling incredibly embarrassed, Deidara could only chuckle awkwardly and clap his hands twice, "Brother Sasori is right!"
This immediately drew attention and concern from the public for people with intellectual disabilities.
Scorpion felt incredibly ashamed, and a thought popped into his mind: "Why don't I just turn this guy into a puppet later?"
"Is there anything else?" Pain asked again.
"What's wrong? Can you please stop with the guessing game?"
Seemingly sensing danger, Deidara quickly tried to change the subject.
If Nagato hadn't known that he didn't mean anything by it, but was just too straightforward and sometimes spoke without thinking, he would have definitely manipulated Pain's Deva Path to give Deidara a Shinra Tensei combo the next time they met, so that he would have felt the pain!
Damn, is being the boss really that shameful?
Interrupting the boss's speech so casually, do you have a death wish?!
Xiao Di had no idea that with just two sentences, he had offended two big shots in the organization, setting the stage for his future inexplicable beatings.
Withdrawing his gaze and deciding not to stoop to the level of a problem child, Pain gestured, "Itachi, since you discovered it, you should explain it."
In this battle, only Itachi and Kisame were actually involved; everyone else was elsewhere.
Itachi, whose name was called, nodded slightly. "My last mission with Kisame was in the Land of Farmers, where the same turmoil occurred. But this time we've encountered a troublesome target..."
"The opponent called himself Hanamichi, possessed the ability to manipulate plants, and was very resilient. Even under the combined attack of Kisame and me, he was still able to fight back and eventually escaped successfully."
Upon hearing this, everyone except Pain and Konan, who already knew the truth, was surprised.
The more you understand Itachi's strength, the more you realize how incredible it is to escape from him!
[Chapter 89 I Don't Like It]
"Really? You must be kidding!"
Deidara was the first to exclaim in surprise.
You should know that when Xiao came to his door, he was a rebellious and arrogant young man.
As a result, he was completely bewildered by Itachi's gaze and almost blew himself away.
Needless to say, there were several times after that when he was defiant. The frustration of knowing that he was going to use illusion magic against you, and you were on guard against it, but in the end you would definitely fall for it unexpectedly, completely crushed Deidara.
Therefore, in his view, it was simply unbelievable that such a monstrous Itachi, together with Kisame, who was known as a humanoid tailed beast, could still let the opponent escape.
If it were him, there would be no way he could escape; at most, they would both perish.
When it comes to society, we have to look at Dige, who's nicknamed Patrick Star.
Deidara's exclamation essentially represented the sentiments of everyone else.
At this moment, Kisame chuckled, "That's true, but it also has something to do with the other party not having eyes."
"Don't you have eyes? What do you mean?"
"It means exactly what it says."
"Huh? This..."
"Itachi's most effective genjutsu failed to work, and coupled with the fact that the opponent was indeed very resilient, she actually managed to escape without us noticing."
When Kisame said this, his expression was a bit strange, the kind that looked like he felt it was funny and wanted to laugh, but after thinking about it, he couldn't laugh.
It's hard to believe that the first time he saw Itachi get the short end of the stick, it was for such a ridiculous and nonsensical reason.
As expected, when it comes to visual illusions, blindness is the best solution!
Of course, neither he nor Itachi used their full strength during the fight.
Kisame felt it was unnecessary, while Itachi simply didn't want to waste his eye power on the other person, lest he go blind before even meeting that 'foolish little brother'.
However, this was not a good sign, so Itachi and Kisame immediately chose to inform the organization.
As for whether the same information was sent back to Konoha, no one knows.
Upon hearing Kisame's explanation, everyone's expressions immediately relaxed, and they also found it quite amusing.
"What? Is it really necessary to gather everyone for something like this?" Deidara's opening remarks were designed to offend people.
As expected, Pain and Itachi both glanced at him discreetly.
Sasori, who noticed this, silently mourned for Deidara for two seconds and decided that if Deidara ever got beaten up in the future, he would either kick him a couple of times or stay far away to avoid being accidentally injured.
It would be bad if they were mistaken for being together. They're not close at all!
While thinking about when to have Deidara come to the Land of Rain to meet him, Nagato, controlling Pain's Deva Path, continued, "There's another piece of information here, Zetsu."
Jue immediately delivered a report in his distinctive accent.
“A few days ago, a cursed spirit codenamed ‘Sand Spirit’ appeared in the Land of Wind… Oh, cursed spirits are the general term those unknown creatures use to refer to themselves.”
"This 'Sand Spirit' named himself Cybert, and with one move he killed two Jonin from Sunagakure as well as several Chunin and Genin, and rescued many of his 'kinsmen' who had been captured."
"Afterwards, Kazekage Rasa sent three Jonin to lead a team to pursue them. In the end, they managed to escape safely at the cost of nine members of the sealing team and several Chunin."
"Afterwards, a first-person perspective report on the battle with 'Sand Spirit' Cybert was leaked through an underground gold exchange, and the first buyer was Sunagakure."
"That intelligence report stated that 'Sand Spirit' Cybert is very powerful and possesses the ability to control sand. In particular, he can completely transform himself into sand to evade attacks, and... and other abilities."
After Zetsu finished speaking, Pain Tendo spoke again: "What are your thoughts on these extremely special and powerful cursed spirits that have appeared one after another?"
"It sounds impressive, but it won't affect us at all, right? The more chaotic things get in different countries, the more we get dragged into it, isn't that more beneficial to our plans?"
Although Deidara is straightforward and his personality is somewhat similar to Hidan's, he is much smarter than Hidan.
Even Kakuzu looked at him with newfound respect.
“What you said is indeed correct, but I think what the leader means is whether these cursed spirits will affect our plans in the future, or even grow to the point where they can threaten our Akatsuki organization.” Konan finally spoke, and immediately got to the point.
"This... can't be right."
"Nothing is impossible. If this happened a month ago, would you have believed that a cursed spirit could escape unscathed from the hands of our organization's members?"
Itachi and Kisame: "..."
Who is this implying?!
At this point, Scorpion nodded, agreeing with Xiao Nan's point of view, "Over this period of time, I have also done some research on these... cursed spirits. They seem to grow by feeding on negative human emotions, and each one has unlimited potential for growth."
After a brief pause, Scorpion continued, "This means that as long as there are enough humans as food, their strength can increase dramatically in a short period of time."
"Being weak now doesn't mean it will always be weak. Just like that cursed spirit that escaped from Itachi and Kisame, it still managed to escape in a sorry state this time, but the outcome might be completely different the next time we meet."
Itachi and Kisame, who were called out again: "..."
Damn it, it's just one slip-up, why is everyone bringing it up every time they speak?!
Do we two brothers have no pride or what?
Itachi and Kisame exchanged a glance. "If we run into each other again, we'll kill them no matter what!"
With just a glance, the two reached an agreement.
"So... can we utilize this power?" Pain suddenly suggested a path that had never been considered before.
Everyone fell into deep thought, each with their own ideas.
For a moment, the atmosphere became awkwardly silent.
To be honest, everyone present was proud and arrogant, and even their own companions found it hard to accept them, let alone some 'insects'.
That's right, at least Kakuzu and the others regarded those cursed spirits as annoying insects.
Although you can easily stomp it to death, the sap that splatters out is disgusting and you have to wipe it off.
Just like no one would actively use the power of cockroaches to do something, wouldn't that feel disgusting?
After a while, it was Scorpion who broke the atmosphere.
