Awakening the Samsara Eye, becoming the mastermind behind the ninja world

Chapter 140: Akatsuki's Response, Asuma's Unavoidable Death

The members of the Dusk Team had no time to enjoy the food. They all stopped what they were doing and looked towards the distant sky.

There, a dazzling red beam of light shot straight into the sky and tore the entire sky apart.

Naruto stared at the red beam of light with wide eyes, a look of astonishment on his face. Because he was very familiar with that powerful chakra - it was clearly the power of the tailed beast!

"That's the Tailed Beast Chakra! There's no doubt about it, it must be the Six-Tails that has appeared!" Naruto shouted loudly, his voice full of anxiety and worry.

Everyone was shocked and looked at each other, wondering: What on earth had happened? Who was the person who could allow the Jinchūriki to use such a powerful tailed beast chakra?

Could it be that... Akatsuki has already taken the lead and found the Six-Tails Jinchuriki?

At this moment, the red beam of light gradually dimmed, but then there was a loud earth-shaking noise.

A huge tailed beast ball rushed straight into the sky like a cannonball, and in an instant it tore the thick dark clouds above into pieces and disappeared without a trace.

Kakashi's face was solemn and his eyes were sharp as a knife. He knew the seriousness of the situation and shouted to all the team members without hesitation: "That is indeed the chakra of the tailed beast! It seems that the Akatsuki organization has captured the six-tailed Jinchuriki before us."

"Everyone listen up, move forward at full speed! The target is the direction of the chakra explosion! We must not let them succeed!"

"Yes!" Everyone responded in unison, their tone firm and resolute.

Before he finished speaking, a group of people flashed and rushed away into the distance like a gust of wind.

…………

On the other hand, the Akatsuki organization attaches great importance to the Vulpix. The immortal combination of Kakuzu and Hidan, as well as the divine angel combination of Pain and Konan, have all set their sights on the Vulpix.

The two groups searched for the Vulpix separately, but they were far away from the place where the Vulpix's chakra erupted, and they couldn't even see the chakra rising into the sky.

An hour had passed since the Vulpix's chakra eruption.

In an inn in the eastern part of the Land of Fire, Konan received information from an informant stating that the Tailed Beast Chakra appeared on Mount Katsuragi.

After estimating the distance, she said to Nagato, who was hanging on the machine beside her, "The tailed beast appeared at Mount Katsuragi, but it is far beyond the range of chakra transmission. We have to move."

Nagato's control over Pain is limited in range. The black rod's chakra is no longer effective after it is transmitted to a certain distance, and the location of the chakra burst is beyond the transmission range of the black rod.

"Notify Kakuzu and Hidan to delay the opponent's transfer of the Vulpix. Do not fight too long. Pain will be there to support them soon."

Nagato gave the order. He knew that the overall strength of the Dusk Squad was at the level of ninja Jonin. Even the Immortal Duo would find it difficult to deal with this situation. Pain must take action personally to have a chance to snatch the Vulpix from the Dusk Squad.

"Understood." Xiaonan wrote the order on the paper, and together with many pieces of paper, he turned into a paper eagle and flew quickly into the distance.

.........

Inside the gold exchange, Kakuzu had just completed a bounty and was counting the money he had received.

They had just intercepted and defeated a team of Konoha ninjas who were on their way to reinforce the Dusk Squad. Because of this, Asuma still couldn't escape the tragic fate of being killed by Kakuzu, and eventually became Kakuzu's victim in exchange for a high bounty.

Hidan, who was standing aside, seemed extremely anxious. He was carelessly wiping the extremely sharp sickle in his hand and mumbling some unclear words.

"Damn it! We should have taken quick action to get rid of them a long time ago, but we actually let those three guys escape. It's really frustrating!"

Thinking back to the protracted battle just now, Feiduan couldn't help but feel a little annoyed and resentful.

Originally, they were fully capable of wiping out the other side, but because of that troublesome bearded man, they slowed down the pace and missed the opportunity.

This result made him extremely unhappy. After all, for a person who enjoyed killing, not being able to enjoy the pleasure of slaughter to his heart's content was undoubtedly a torture. He was afraid that the Evil God would be dissatisfied with this.

At this moment, the owner of the gold exchange came out from the back room and started chatting with Kakuzu excitedly: "Hey, man, we just got an extremely important piece of information related to the tailed beasts.

Isn't your Akatsuki organization always dedicated to collecting the tailed beasts? I wonder if you are interested in this news? I'll give you a friendly price, you can get it for only 500 million taels! "

Kakuzu narrowed his eyes upon hearing this, as if he was considering whether or not to make the purchase, but in reality he was considering the possibility of simply killing the owner of the gold exchange to obtain the information.

But after hesitating for a long time and considering the long-term consequences, he still did not take action. He had no choice but to painfully count out 500 million taels and hand them over to the owner of the gold exchange.

Kakuzu's tone contained murderous intent: "Tell me, if the information is not worth the price, you'd better weigh your head."

The owner of the gold exchange was not frightened by Kakuzu. They traded with these desperate criminals every day and had experienced such situations countless times. "Of course, I never cheat my clients. This information is just one sentence: Tailed Beast Chakra traces appeared on Mount Katsuragi. How about this information? Is it worth the price?"

Kakuzu nodded. Such a precise location was indeed worth the price, but he still needed to confirm the authenticity of the information.

The owner of the gold exchange took the 500 million with great satisfaction, tapped the amount and said casually, "The chakra beam rising from Mt. Katsuragi was seen by everyone within a hundred miles, and the owner of the gold exchange sent a telegram."

With such a big scene just now, the news will spread throughout the ninja world in no time, but what he makes money from is intelligence. By relying on telegraph transmission, things happening in the southern part of the ninja world can be spread to the north in no time.

"I just heard this information and told you right away. It happened about an hour ago."

Kakuzu nodded and put the box of money on the table: "Deposit the money, I'll leave it here with you first, I'll come back and get it."

"Sure." The gold exchange boss nodded. Facing such a big customer, this small request was not a big deal.

"Hidan, the Vulpix has appeared. The enemy this time is that Dusk. You will definitely be able to kill him happily." Kakuzu said to Hidan with an expressionless face, but he was actually very excited in his heart.

Kakuzu has always been looking forward to the members of the Dusk Team, because each of them is the target of a high bounty - Ohnoki's granddaughter, the copy ninja Kakashi... these are all coveted and high-value prey!

"I heard that those people are all at the level of Jonin. If we can get such a powerful sacrifice to offer to the evil god, he will surely be very happy!" Upon hearing this, Feiduan, who had been listless, suddenly had his eyes lit up and became very interested.

Just as the two stepped out of the door of the gold exchange, an eagle made of folded paper fell from the sky like lightning.

After the paper eagle reached the ground, it quickly disintegrated and turned into countless pieces that scattered all over the ground. Only a message covered with words remained intact.

Kakuzu picked up the message, glanced at the words on it quickly, and then without hesitation, brought it close to the blazing flames in his palm.

In the blink of an eye, the message turned into ashes and scattered in the air.

Kakuzu snorted with displeasure and complained, "Do we still need to be cautious when dealing with those minions?"

He was conceited and thought that with the rich experience and outstanding strength he had accumulated over the long years, dealing with just a few juniors would be a piece of cake.

Feidan shouted enthusiastically, "Yeah! There's no need for Boss Pain to come out in person. We can just charge over and kill them all!"

After saying that, the two of them quickly headed towards Mount Katsuragi.
