Naruto: The Information Broker from the Uchiha Clan

Juzo replied, "Do you really think Sora doesn't know? He just doesn't like him, so he wants to teach him a lesson."

As he spoke, Juzo looked at Demiurge: "I remember you've also carried out many horrific bombings in the past. You should tone it down a bit in the future. Compared to this guy, who kills for the sake of killing, you at least have an artistic goal."

"If one day the heavens decide that you are beyond saving, then when you've used up all your resources, that will be the time for you to go to hell."

These words startled Deidara, who then couldn't help but say, "It seems this really is for the sake of peace... But looking at it this way, Sora-senpai is still the more ruthless one..."

Juzo Biwa said in a deep voice, "For the sake of peace... isn't that a good thing? Although you were once a disciple of the Third Tsuchikage, at your age, you shouldn't have participated in any major wars, right?"

Deidara shook his head slightly: "Although I don't quite understand, for the noble purpose of peace, combined with my explosion, it will surely create the most perfect art!"

As they were talking, Hidan's head, which had just been loosened and was about to be bound with iron blocks, suddenly erupted with a deafening roar.

"I'm convinced!!!"

"Ok?"

Turning back, Sora looked at Hidan with a puzzled expression: "You're convinced already? Joining Akatsuki?"

Hidan's head hit the ground, unable to nod, so he could only reply immediately: "I give up! I'll join! As long as I can maintain my status as a follower, I'll join anything."

Kong nodded: "Alright. Since you're willing to join, I won't feed you to the dogs."

As he spoke, Sora looked at Kakuzu behind him and said, "After watching the show for so long, it's time to get to work. Help him sew up, and from today onwards, he will be your teammate."

Hidan then looked at Kakuzu, a fawning smile on his face, and said, "Are you going to be my partner, senpai? Please do, senpai."

Kakuzu, expressionless, stepped forward and kicked Hidan's torso on the ground.

A short while later, after the stitches were finished, Kakuzu said, "Anyway, we're all going to die sooner or later. If you slow down my money-making speed, I'll feed you all to the dogs."

Uh!

Hidan, who had been so enthusiastic just moments before, paused for a moment. But having just been defeated, he didn't retaliate. He could only pick up his three-month scythe and follow behind Kakuzu.

At this point, Deidara, who was also a newcomer but had joined three days earlier, started showing off his superiority.

"Newbie, don't you usually gather intelligence on the black market?"

Hidan replied nonchalantly, "I only want to expand my followers, why would I need to gather intelligence?"

Deidara raised his head and laughed, "If you had gathered information, you wouldn't have suffered so much just now. To dare to attack someone like Senior Kong, you truly possess immense courage..."

"Speaking of which, even an old man probably wouldn't have such courage, right? Your actions just now, in a sense, have already surpassed the level of Shadow."

Hidan was confused, but after taking one last look at the empty space in front of him, he couldn't help but shudder.

To actually try to drown oneself and feed the dogs—such a vicious method is utterly despicable.

Just then, Sora, Kakuzu, and Juzo stopped.

At that moment, the rings on their hands reacted.

Vortex Sky glanced at the ring: "Let's go, let's find a place to hold a meeting. It seems the actions of the five great powers have already begun."

……

Chapter 218: Human Face, Pig Body

What are the actions of the five major powers?

Uzumaki Sora's words stunned Kakuzu and the others.

Deidara, standing to the side, waved his hand dismissively, saying with a "you're joking?" expression, "You've just joined and you're already facing the Five Great Nations? Are you kidding me?"

Juzo then asked, "If I remember correctly, when we met with the four great ninja villages not long ago, they seemed to deliberately exclude Konoha. In that case, they should be wary of Konoha's Uchiha Kumo, right?"

"Ha ha……"

After chuckling, Kong replied, "That's all the fault of those two fools who acted on their own initiative. They went to Konoha but were forced to retreat by Uchiha Yun. They did nothing, but they made the Five Great Nations aware of our existence."

As he spoke, Kong looked into the dense forest in the distance, then set up a barrier and released a shadow clone.

"Your clothes and rings will be given to you by the chief after you return. Therefore, you cannot attend this meeting."

As soon as he finished speaking, the three of them, including Sora Uzumaki, found a place to sit down, and the thought wave began to be formed and transferred by Pain.

……

In the dark cave, several figures appeared on the ten fingers.

"Kong, have those two already joined?"

Nodding, Sora looked at Payne and replied, "It's all settled. After meeting and engaging in in-depth discussions and friendly negotiations, they all felt that Akatsuki was a very promising organization and insisted on joining."

Uh.

Nagato, who was controlling Pain, was momentarily speechless at this reply.

Kakuzu's illusion twitched at the corner of its eye...

Is deep communication an illusion?

It was indeed an exchange on the level of spiritual energy.

Friendly negotiation is tantamount to taking action, until the other side submits.

As for those who are clamoring to join...

If you don't join, they'll throw you into the sea to feed the dogs. How can you not join now?

"call……"

Nagato, inside the tower, exhaled, and then Payne said, "Now that they've agreed to join, let's bring them back as soon as possible."

"For the next period of time, Xiao needs to remain quiet and wait for this turmoil to pass."

Sora frowned, then looked at Obito's illusion beside him: "The Five Great Nations have detected our existence and are wary of us. Don't you think you should explain yourself, Tobi?"

These words immediately drew everyone's attention, while Afei frantically waved his hands in a panic.

"Kong... Senior Kong! I... I don't know either... I..."

In a state of incoherence, Ah Fei finally bowed deeply to the air at a ninety-degree angle: "I'm so sorry!"

At this moment, Orochimaru licked his lips and said, "As a trainee who has just been promoted, if he makes such a mistake... how about just killing him and handing me the body?"

Feigning panic, Tobi quickly bowed to Orochimaru again: "Senior! Please don't kill me... I just went to Konoha for a visit, I didn't expect..."

Orochimaru's greedy gaze was fixed on the eye beneath Tobi's mask.

Only the Sharingan can counter Wood Release, and only these eyes can resist Sharingan genjutsu.

Research into the Impure World Reincarnation technique has encountered obstacles, but the method of gaining power through reincarnation is another shortcut.

At this moment, Kong Ze said, "Ze didn't come? That guy went to Konoha with you. Now they mean you have to take the blame alone?"

Afei stood up, scratched his head, and replied in a simple voice, "I just happened to run into Zetsu-senpai who was gathering intelligence when I went to Konoha for fun. I was discovered because Uchiha Yun was too powerful."

Sora shook his head slightly: "But according to my intelligence, Zetsu seems to want to recruit Uchiha Kumo, so he said some things he shouldn't have. Since when did people in charge of intelligence have the right to recruit people?"

As soon as he finished speaking, an illusion of a fingertip slowly appeared.

The black and white figures each occupied one side, and the black half-body spoke up, saying, "Based on the current intelligence, the only one in the entire ninja world who can rival you and your leader is Uchiha Kumo."

"If we can recruit Uchiha Kumo into the organization, then Akatsuki's final plan can begin ahead of schedule, and no one will be able to stop it."

"Based on this, and given the rare opportunity at the time, I made contact with Uchiha Kumo."

As Black Zetsu spoke, his gaze remained fixed on the void: "Uchiha Yun... lived a peaceful life in Konoha Village, and after becoming a hero, he was respected by the entire village."

"In this environment, he simply doesn't yet understand the darkness of the world. Once he does, he will strive for true peace just like us."

True peace?

Sora's expression remained unchanged.

But deep down he already knew that his existence had made Black Zetsu worried from the very beginning.

After all, it is crucial for someone with such terrifying intelligence capabilities to know whether he knew about his millennia-long plan to save his mother.

On the other side, seeing that Uzumaki Sora seemed to have no emotion, Black Zetsu also felt a sense of doubt.

The source of information about Sora Uzumaki has always been a mystery...

So, did he know about his own existence over thousands of years, and about the tampering with the stone tablet beneath the Uchiha Naga Shrine?

Currently, the only one who can rival Uchiha Ku is Uchiha Ku, so only by keeping Uchiha Ku in our grasp can we have the power to guard against this guy's mischief.

"A high-sounding reason..."

After a dismissive remark, Sora looked at Pain and asked, "Is this only Konoha's side of the story? Although the Five Great Nations know of Akatsuki's existence, they should still be somewhat hesitant, right?"

After a moment, Pain replied, "We do not yet possess the strength to contend with the combined might of the Five Great Nations. Of course, if Uchiha Kumo can be excluded, then there is no need for us to lie low."

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone's eyes turned to Vortex Sky.

Sasori, who had been silent until now, spoke up: "Ku can fight against Uchiha Kumo, and we still have the leader's power. Perhaps lying low is too much of a waste."

"hehe!"

With a light laugh, Sora glanced at the illusions of everyone and said, "Apart from the leader... aren't you... underestimating the Five Great Ninja Villages?"

Kakuzu, standing to the side, shook his head slightly: "With Akatsuki possessing two formidable fighters, and us joining them, the outcome is uncertain."

Kong shook his head slightly and smiled, "No. We don't need the five great ninja villages. Just Konoha alone will only result in mutual destruction."

He exhaled and said, "The hatred between the five great ninja villages over the years will not be so easily resolved, which is why I said they are just suspicious."

"But you're being too naive about combat strength. Just look at Konoha. Orochimaru should know the power that Uchiha Kumo used at the end of the battle at the Sea of ​​the End, right?"

Orochimaru's illusion licked its lips and replied, "Eight Gates, a forbidden technique. It involves years of training that pushes the limits of the human body to hone one's will and body. The opening of the final Gate of Death grants power more than ten times that of a Kage."

Orochimaru then shook his head: "No. Judging from the final scene of the Sea of ​​Ending, perhaps this statement is not entirely correct, because even the power of a shadow ten times greater than the power of the Sea of ​​Ending cannot reach that level."

Orochimaru then looked at Sora and said, "So the power of opening the Eight Gates' Death Gate should be based on an individual's normal power, multiplied by a factor of two, right?"

"I remember……"

Orochimaru turned his gaze to Juzo Biwa and asked, "I remember during the Third Shinobi World War, Might Guy's father, Might Dai, used the power of the Eight Gates' Death Gate to kill four of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist."

"Compared to this, even someone like Juzo from the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist could escape, which seems to be a world of difference compared to the Sea of ​​the End."

The conversation ended by bringing up his own abilities, which made Pipa Juzo feel extremely frustrated.

I've been trying my best not to talk.
