In Naruto, you can become a god through gacha pulls.

Yoriichi felt that Obito's words were a reminder to him.

"Hahaha, good." Obito's eyes narrowed.

"As expected, it's a reminder to me. They're really cautious," Yoriichi thought to himself, a slight smirk playing on his lips.

"I've come here to discuss rescuing Deidara with you." Obito paused.

"I don't think they'll kill Deidara anytime soon..."

“It will take at least a while,” Obito said.

"Why? I remember that people from the Land of Lightning tend to act impulsively," Yoriichi asked.

“You know, Deidara is the current Tsuchikage’s apprentice,” Obito laughed.

“Once we gather a little information, we’ll find out that his Explosion Release ability is quite obvious, right?” Obito glanced at Yoriichi with a sidelong look.

"I just don't know how you managed to win him over."

"And Kisame Hoshigaki, I've known about him for a long time, but you recruited him before I did..." Obito smiled at Yoriichi.

"Just a coincidence." Yoriichi sneered shamelessly. "After all, heroes are as numerous as fish crossing a river. There are many heroes with great reputations. It's a matter of who gets the first chance."

Obito nodded. "What you said is indeed correct."

“Besides, aren’t we all working hard for you right now?” Yoriichi deliberately raised the volume of “you”.

He didn't say "Xiao" but "you," which was to remind Obito that Yoriichi knew Obito's identity and purpose.

Of course, it was rather subtle; Yoriichi didn't want to be so absolute in his words.

To maintain his integrity, he keeps his mouth shut.

"Everyone's doing this for a happy life in the end," Obito said politely in Tobi's tone.

Obito continued, "Now that the people of the Land of Lightning know Deidara's identity, they will definitely notify the Tsuchikage."

"Whether as a diplomatic tool or in exchange for hostages, it's a win-win situation for the Land of Lightning."

“Of course, it’s also possible they’ll just kill him,” Yoriichi said, not very optimistically.

"After all, given the Raikage's personality, hurting Killer Bee, the Eight-Tails, who is also his sworn brother, would make him extremely angry," Yoriichi said, presenting his reasoning with solid evidence.

After all, considering his past life where he had seen the script, the Raikage back then desperately wanted to kill Sasuke, even at the cost of cutting off his own arm.

“Yes, but you’ve overlooked someone,” Obito suddenly reminded him.

"Are you talking about... Hunter Blue?" Yoriichi asked, staring intently at Obito.

This character is very mysterious, and I need to learn more about him. Judging from his strength and relationship with Killer Bee, he probably holds a very important position in the Land of Lightning.

Just like Fang Zun's status in the Water Kingdom...

“Azure is calm and powerful; he will stop the Raikage from having that kind of personality,” Obito said.

"How much do you know about him?" Yoriichi asked.

"Well..." Obito paused for a moment, "I'll take you there to discuss this together."

“Okay,” Yoriichi agreed.

Just as Obito was about to pull Yoriichi away, Yoriichi suddenly asked again:

Who will you take with you on this mission?

Obito's brow furrowed slightly in thought:

"Kisame must go himself, and he must be strong enough."

"I've also arranged a new partner for him..."

"Uchiha Itachi?" Yoriichi guessed.

Obito suddenly smiled and praised in Tobi's voice, "Yoriichi, you're really smart..."

Yoriichi gave a wry smile, which was his response to Obito's praise.

"The others are you and Fang Zun," Obito replied in his original voice.

Obito looked at Yoriichi and suddenly became serious.

“I’m making this clear beforehand, regardless of any past grievances you may have had.”

"You...you are not allowed to kill any of our Xiao people."

“Of course I know that,” Yoriichi replied calmly.

Although he really wanted to get rid of Fang Zun, he couldn't do that.

Since the priority of this operation is to rescue Deidara, any internal strife is not allowed.

Furthermore, Yoriichi had another thought.

Recruiting Uchiha Itachi...

Since you can't kill them, it didn't say you can't recruit them...

Chapter 138 Spy

After the two finished their questioning, Obito began tugging at Yoriichi's clothes; the two were ready to set off.

Yoriichi looked back at the Hidden Shadow Village. Now that his clone existed there, he could return at any time, so it seemed there shouldn't be any major problems.

Yoriichi felt relieved, and his vision suddenly distorted into a colorful rotating circle, as if he were in another world. Obito stood in front of him with a calm expression.

Suddenly, Yoriichi began to gather fire chakra in his hands, and the Earth Flow Wall split into pieces of earth that formed before his eyes. He opened his arms, and the fire chakra began to burn the Earth Flow Wall, compressing it into a strangely shaped mask.

With a wave of his hand, Yuan Yi manipulated the flames to leave a katana-shaped arc on the surface. Then, the flames receded, and the temperature cooled rapidly, forming a mask with a golden base and a katana-shaped arc, revealing two small holes for eyes.

The mask cooled down quickly, and the heat on it gradually dissipated. Yoriichi put it on his face.

“Surprisingly suitable…” Yoriichi smiled.

For a mask that I cobbled together on the spot, it's really quite good that it's done this well.

Immediately afterward, at the location of a cave, two figures were slowly waiting.

A tall figure, with muscular physique visible beneath the shape of his robes, and shark gills on his face, was none other than Kisame Hoshigaki.

The other one, in comparison, appeared somewhat thin, but his aura was very composed. His blood-red eyes were filled with melancholy. He was also dressed in a morning robe, and on his slender right ring finger was a ring inscribed with the character "朱" (Zhu).

This person was none other than Uchiha Itachi.

Kisame carefully examined his new partner. The two had never met before. Since Kisame and Deidara joined the organization, Akatsuki had not had a major reunion.

Most of them communicated using special techniques inside caves.

Thus, this man named Uchiha Itachi was Kisame's first meeting with him.

The moment Kisame saw this person, he felt a sense of awe. This man had the same eyes as Yoriichi, and although he was only fourteen years old, he appeared so composed.

Yoriichi had mentioned this person to him before. In terms of talent, he was in a unique class among all the Uchiha clans and was a person who should not be underestimated.

Itachi Uchiha's eyes never left the distance. For some reason, although the two did not speak, the atmosphere was not awkward. It was as if the two of them standing there did not need to say much.

Uchiha Itachi was indeed a man of few words, or perhaps not, but Kisame saw loneliness and desolation in his eyes.

"The murderer of the night of the massacre." Kisame clicked his tongue; this didn't really look like...

"We're almost there," Itachi Uchiha suddenly said.

He sensed Obito Uchiha's chakra.

Soon, an outline suddenly appeared in front of the two of them.

Kisame was immediately alarmed. He had not sensed the approach of the chakra. In fact, both Obito Uchiha and Yoriichi had chakra barriers on their bodies to prevent them from being sensed.

However, Itachi could sense that Kisame, looking into Itachi's deep, blood-red eyes, immediately saw Yoriichi's shadow in him.

Obito Uchiha and the man wearing a golden katana-shaped mask stepped out. Kisame was somewhat surprised to see Yoriichi appear, but he couldn't show it too much.

After all, Itachi Uchiha was still there.

When Yoriichi saw Kisame, he pretended to be indifferent, as if he had never met him before.

Obito begins to speak:

"Everyone, this is one of your helpers in this operation, Okazaki Shimoha from the Land of Iron."

Obito casually made up a name to refer to Yoriichi, and Yoriichi immediately gestured and stepped forward.

"Hello everyone, nice to meet you all, I'm Okazaki Shimoha."

"I am Uchiha Itachi..." Itachi stared intently at Okazaki Shimoha, his pupils showing an unnatural glint.

He had only anticipated Obito Uchiha's chakra, but even though Okazaki Shimoha was right in front of him, he couldn't sense any chakra fluctuations from her.

Such chakra concealment ability is enough to prove that the person in front of them is an extremely powerful senior figure.

"My name is Kisame Hoshigaki." Kisame smiled and responded politely.

Yoriichi glanced at the people present and suddenly sneered inwardly.

Itachi Uchiha, a spy for Konoha Village.

Kisame Hoshigaki, a spy from the Hidden Village.

Obito Uchiha was a figure who manipulated Akatsuki to work for him; he was the biggest mole within the organization.

Adding in himself, a character not belonging to Akatsuki, it truly brings together four people, each with their own ulterior motives.

"Where is Fangzun?" Okazaki Shimoha suddenly looked at Obito.

As agreed by the two, Obito had promised Yoriichi that when Yoriichi arrived, Hozumi would also go with him.

"Don't rush." ​​Obito suddenly looked up to the side, lightly snapping his fingers. Instantly, the space beside him began to become chaotic.

Purple vortex outlines spun rapidly, like the elliptical shape of a planet's outer edge, until the space inside was torn open and a man stepped out.

Upon seeing the man, Yoriichi felt a surge of excitement.

With blue hair, purple eyes, snow-white skin, and a youthful appearance, this man with a somewhat unfocused gaze was none other than Fang Zun, whom he had been separated from for a long time.

The last time the two met was when Yoriichi and Hozo had a one-on-one battle in the Land of Water, but Hozo unexpectedly managed to escape.

Yoriichi chuckled. If the two weren't teammates, he would never have let Fang Zun escape this time.
