Naruto's graceful style

A cave somewhere in the ninja world.

In the darkness, suddenly, an illusory figure appeared, flickering in and out.

Immediately afterwards, figures appeared one after another, each standing on the stone pillar.

All the illusory figures looked at the innermost one. The latter's eyes slowly opened, and those samsara eyes that contained oppression. Even though they knew that what was standing here was just an illusion, everyone was still slightly shocked.

"I called you here because I wanted you to meet a new member."

Payne moved his gaze to somewhere in the cave, "Say hello to everyone, Orochimaru."

When everyone heard this, they were startled at first, and then looked in the direction of Payne's gaze. Only then did they notice that there was an extra figure in the cave than usual.

"Orochimaru"

The Crimson Sand Scorpion whispered, with a hint of surprise in his tone.

Kakuzu glanced at his temporary partner before looking towards Orochimaru.

"I have heard of the name Orochimaru. He seems to be a junior with good strength. However, compared to my time, the strength of the so-called strong men today has shrunk too much."

Seeing everyone looking at him, Orochimaru had an evil smile on his lips, looking at the other members one by one with eyes like snake eyes, "This is the first time we meet, I, Orochimaru. I have heard about this organization for a long time, and now I am lucky to be one of them. One of them is really surprising.”

Orochimaru didn't know much about the information about the Akatsuki organization.

I only knew one or two of the members, but now I saw so many at once, and in this special phantom way, I was really surprised and surprised.

But what followed was an even stronger interest.

Looking at the bloated short figure, Orochimaru knew his identity in his heart: the Scorpion of Red Sand.

That puppet is just his disguise.

And the tall figure standing next to him, judging from the tone of his previous words, should be the Immortal Kakuzu.

In addition, Orochimaru also knew that the figure with the Samsara Eye was the leader of this organization. As for the figure next to him, Orochimaru did not recognize it.

However, it appears to be a woman.

Noticing Orochimaru's appraising eyes, Konan just glanced at him calmly and turned a blind eye.

Orochimaru's lips couldn't help but twitch, interesting.

"Everyone has gotten to know the new members. Now let's talk about the next mission."

Payne spoke slowly.

Everyone fell silent immediately.

"The development of the organization still needs to continue to attract new members. The next target is the Kirisin rebellious Ninja and Gan Kaki Kisame."

"Which of you is going?"

Payne said in an indifferent tone, and finally looked at everyone.

"Is Inikaki Kisame the new master of the ninja sword Samegagi who killed his boss in a sneak attack?"

In the silence, Kakuzu spoke in a low voice: "The bounty for such a character should be very high."

"That's a new addition to our organization."

Red Sand Scorpion reminded lightly.

"Hey, this is boring. Without a bounty, I have no motivation." Kakuzu spat unhappily.

"Let me go."

Orochimaru suddenly spoke, and his hoarse voice echoed in the cave.

"As a new member of the organization, let me contribute a little bit. Just think of it as a small meeting gift that I bring to the organization, so that I can meet the new member."

Payne stared at him, "Okay, I'll leave this task to you."

"If you have other candidates, you can also propose them. As long as they are strong enough, they can be considered for inclusion in the organization."

"End of the meeting."

After saying that, Payne closed his eyes, the illusory figure trembled a few times, and finally disappeared completely from the cave.

The remaining members also disappeared one after another.

The dark cave became silent again.

Konoha.

It has been half a month since the news came from the special operations team.

There was no latest news yet, so Namikaze Minato continued to focus on the layout and arrangements of the village.

Now we have reached the final stage of preparations for war.

The list of members responsible for the battle was gradually finalized, and based on the suggestions of Yuta and the Sandaime, the five members were finally located.

Originally, this fighting team still had a seat for Jiraiya, but so far, he has been searched in almost all the leisure and entertainment venues in the Fire Country, but he has not been found. The search continues to places outside the Fire Country. In terms of time, It was already too late, so I could only give up the idea.

It was rare for Yuta to relax during this time.

Discussions on the battle were basically completed. Namikaze Minato and the third generation old man were busy with other arrangements in the village, and it was not his turn to take care of them at all.

He just enjoyed this relaxation. Apart from the necessary training, there was no trace of nervousness before the upcoming battle.

The third generation old man mentioned this point countless times in private, and Namikaze Minato could only smile bitterly when he heard it. His junior brother, not only in terms of strength, but also in terms of courage, was not comparable to ordinary people.

Even Namikaze Minato was feeling tight in his heart, waiting for that battle to come.

BBQ shop.

Yuta was leaning against the counter in his work uniform. Today, the store welcomed many regular customers. The Metkai team, Uchiha Shisui and Uchiha Itachi, who had returned from a mission, were accompanied by a little tail, Uchiha Sasuke.

The store was noisy and lively, and the loudest among them was the table at Metkai.

At this time, the store door curtain was lifted, and a familiar figure walked in.

"Hey, Kakashi, this way, this way."

Metkai, who was masturbating, saw his nemesis and couldn't help but wave and say hello.

Uchiha Shisui couldn't help but look back when he heard this.

After all, the two of them had competed not long ago, and they were still partners who had to perform that special mission together.

Kakashi waved his hand in response, but looked at Yuta at the counter.

"Find an empty seat and sit down."

Yuta was not so polite and greeted him casually.

"I'll have some barbecue later. I want to discuss something with you. I've made some progress in my knife skills recently. You happen to be here. Practice with me."

Kakashi came straight to the counter and whispered.

Yuta narrowed his eyes and looked at him, "You came to the store on purpose to catch a young man, right?"

"Haha, don't say it so directly."

Kakashi chuckled.

"You want me to stop being your sparring partner after just one barbecue."

"Don't be so heartless."

Kakashi leaned forward and slowly approached Yuta. A painful voice came from under the mask, "Two barbecues."

"Ha ha."

"Three meals, no more."

Others in the store looked at Yuta and Kakashi at the counter, only to see them whispering to each other, but could not hear the content of the conversation.

"What are they talking about"

Metkai put down his waving hand, swallowed the roast meat in his mouth, and said in confusion.

another table.

"Why are you so concerned about the situation over there?"

Seeing Shisui paying attention to the counter from time to time, Uchiha Itachi couldn't help but asked curiously.
