Konoha Sheriff

Yuyin Village, Xiao's organization base.

The heretic demon statue shrouded in shadow strangely displayed a shadow-like substance that was constantly flickering.

These flickering shadows gradually became clearer and solidified, forming dark figures.

"Huh? Is this the magic of the lantern body? It's really interesting."

The figure gradually became clearer, and then there was laughter.

Deidara, who had a ponytail tied high on his head, couldn't help bursting out laughing when he looked at the stooped Scorpion next to him:

"Hahahaha, old man, you are as black as the scorched earth after an explosion. Sure enough, explosions are the most perfect art in the world!"

The scorpion hidden in the Liu Fei Tiger glanced at Deidara, who was also black as a mosaic, and coldly uttered two words:

"idiot."

"Old man, we are teammates after all. What you said really hurts my teammate's heart!"

Deidara spoke angrily.

Just as he was talking, Hidan from far away suddenly intervened:

"Ha, even my teammates say you are an idiot. I think you are definitely hopeless. Hey, over there, do you want me to help you and send you to see Lord Evil God?"

Hearing Hidan's crazy voice, Deidara frowned with disgust and said calmly:

"Next time you get your head chopped off, don't expect the old man to sew it back on for you, because I will beat him to it and blow your head to pieces!"

"If possible, I really want to serve Lord Evil God as soon as possible, but it's just up to you? It's better not to make me laugh."

"Shut up, Hidan."

As soon as Hidan finished speaking, Kakuzu next to him glanced at him coldly:

"You made me count the money."

If his partner wasn't an unkillable freak, this guy would probably have died due to his own resentment.

Kakuzu thought silently in his heart.

Just as he had this thought, he suddenly heard an indifferent voice not far away:

"Chief, of course everyone has been gathered here. It's time to announce the next move."

The person who spoke was none other than Itachi Uchiha.

Hearing what he said, everyone who was originally talking and laughing stopped communicating and looked at this strange guy who was incompatible with their organization with unkind eyes.

Deidara, Hidan and others disliked this guy for not being able to make jokes at all. Scorpion and Konan felt that Itachi was too selfish and his motives were obviously impure. Kakuzu...he was just pure and absolute that Itachi had ruined things. His money-making scheme.

If he couldn't beat him, the only one he wanted to deal with was Uchiha Itachi.

When Itachi said this, Pain, who had been closing his eyes to rest his mind, could no longer remain silent.

He glanced at Itachi coldly and then said:

"Since everyone has said so, let's announce the official content of this gathering."

"After your unremitting efforts in the past six months, we have successfully accumulated a considerable amount of war funds while completing the team integration. It can be said that you have successfully completed the first phase of the goal.

So... I announce that the Akatsuki organization has entered the next stage.

Next, I plan to let everyone maintain the existing team mode and go out to fight individually. Among them, Kakuzu will be the leader of the war team and be responsible for the intelligence matters entrusted to us by each village.

With Zetsu as the leader of the intelligence team, he searched for information about tailed beasts in the major ninja villages.

The rest of the members are usually responsible for the preparation tasks of the war team. After Zei finds out the news about the tailed beasts, I will individually entrust your team to take charge of the task of capturing the tailed beasts.

Next, Jue, tell me about the exact information you have now. "

After saying this, Payne stopped talking and handed the stage to Black and White Zetsu who looked like a pitcher plant on his right.

Jue first bowed and saluted Payne, and then spoke in his hoarse voice:

"Everyone, at this stage, I can confirm the whereabouts of only three tailed beasts. The first one is the three-tailed beast located in Lake Senge in Kirigakure Village.

The Three-Tailed Jinchuuriki, the former Three-Tailed Jinchuuriki, the Four-Tailed, has been reuniting in Lake Sengai since he became the former Three-Tailed Jinchuuriki. Counting the time, it will be almost four years before he returns to reality.

So although the three-tailed one is the easiest to catch, it cannot be the first target.

The second tailed beast is the four-tailed beast located in the Tumang Mountain in Iwagakure Village. The four-tailed jinchuriki Lao Zi and the third generation Tsuchikage Ohnoki have always had a bad relationship. They lived alone in the Tumang Mountain many years ago.

If there is a tailed beast capture activity, his capture difficulty may be the easiest.

The third tailed beast whose location can only be determined is the Seven-Tailed Jinchuuriki of Takigakure Village. The ancestor of the Seven-Tailed Jinchuuriki died six months ago. I heard that Takigakure Village spent a lot of manpower and financial resources to suppress the rampaging Seven-Tails.

Although the new Seven-Tails Jinchuuriki has grown up under their protection, due to the lack of security force in Takigakure Village, it is not too difficult to capture..."

Zee kept reporting the information he had gathered, completely unaware that Itachi's face in the distance was getting uglier and uglier.

The reason why he never spoke was because he was one of "Madara's" subordinates.

No, as soon as Zetsu finished speaking, Itachi looked at Pain impatiently and said:

"Chief, I think we made a mistake?"

Before Pain could open his mouth, Itachi spoke quickly:

"The reason why we made the decision to speed up the plan half a year ago was that the person we wanted to guard against was clearly Konoha's Uchiha Beichen.

But now, our so-called two-step parallel strategy does not take Konoha into consideration at all, and we have not considered how to counterattack if Uchiha Beichen wants to disrupt the situation...

With all due respect, I think our plan should still be to attack Konoha as the first target! "

As soon as Itachi's words came out, the scene immediately fell into a dead silence.

Everyone was staring blankly at Itachi, wondering whether this guy had lost his mind and gone crazy, or was just eager to seek death.

He disobeyed the leader in person like this. Did he really think that the leader liked him very much?

In addition, after Itachi finished speaking, everyone present felt a little bored.

Uchiha Kitatsu, Uchiha Kitatsu again.

It's not that they are unwilling to admit Uchiha Beichen's strength, they also know that Uchiha Beichen is an opponent that cannot be underestimated.

But... could one Uchiha Beichen defeat their entire Akatsuki organization by himself?

Their Akatsuki organization is a Kage-level existence, but what about Uchiha Beichen's Konoha?

No matter how you calculate it, there are only four shadow levels: Tsunade, Jiraiya, Uchiha Beichen and Uchiha Shisui.

Not only do they have an absolute advantage in terms of numbers, but their abilities are so treacherous that people can't guard against them. With talents like them here, what do they have to fear from Uchiha Beichen?
