Akatsuki organization base.

"Nagato, don't think too much. As long as we help each other, no difficulty is insurmountable." Putting his arm around Nagato's shoulder, Yahiko smiled confidently, "After much thought, I have found a way to deal with the masked man that Mako-san mentioned."

Hearing what Yahiko said, Nagato's eyes moved, "What method?"

"Think about it, didn't Makoto-san say that the masked man's ability to turn into a hollow is triggered passively? That means we can just help him trigger it. When we see him, if he's far away, we can immediately attack him with a ninjutsu. If he's close, we can just feint a sword. Then when he's about to counterattack us and turn into a physical form, we can immediately strike him with a second sword."

Nagato thought about it and felt that Yahiko's approach did make some sense, but it was still not very safe. "This... is indeed a method, but it can only stop him once, right? If it's just a slash or ordinary ninjutsu, it will probably be difficult to directly kill a ninja with strength above the level of Jonin. When he comes again, I don't think he will fall to the same move."

In Nagato's opinion, it is rare for a normal and experienced ninja to fail twice with the same move, but they currently lack the means to kill the opponent in an instant. Even if they can severely damage the opponent this time by relying on information gap and targeted tactics, what will they do next time?

"Well~ isn't there at least a way? I remember that Jiraiya mentioned that ninja fighting is a process of mutual intelligence. After fighting with the masked man, it's not just him who will gain intelligence and experience, but also us. For example, the masked man's strength, speed, overall physical skills level, and usual tactics can only be confirmed after the actual fight."

After listening to Yahiko's thoughts, Konan immediately added: "Yes, Nagato, and because of the existing information provided by Makoto-san, we can confirm the enemy's data in all aspects more specifically at that time, so even if we fight again, we don't have to worry too much, and..."

"And?" Nagato asked subconsciously.

"Besides, who knows if this masked man is a fool or something. Not all ninjas will learn their lesson after a failure. Anyway, I think we really don't need to panic. We should spend more time practicing."

"Xiao Nan is right. Since we already know that there are enemies lurking in the shadows, we must stay vigilant at all times and work hard to improve ourselves!"

"But these eyes..."

"Don't even think about blinding these eyes!" Yahiko held Nagato's head, and the two looked into each other's eyes, and the distance between them was only less than ten centimeters. At this distance, Nagato could no longer avoid Yahiko's sight, "Look at me, Nagato, our ideals are not just words. In this world, many people have buried their longing for peace deep in their hearts. Only by knocking the enemy to the ground can we ensure that the other party will listen to our reason. Therefore, even if we want to avoid killing as much as possible, sufficient strength is also necessary..."

"Perhaps we don't necessarily need the Rinnegan, but we can't cripple our own eyes just for a slightly difficult enemy! Otherwise, how can we realize our dream of bringing peace to the entire ninja world? If we talk about difficulty, isn't our ideal of establishing a peaceful order without extreme force much more difficult than this? You crippled both eyes this time, so what are you going to cripple next time?"

Gradually, Nagato's expression relaxed. Unlike when he first recruited the first batch of Akatsuki members, Yahiko, who had countless experiences in recruiting people, had made great progress in his ability of mouth-to-mouth. If facing an enemy, performing "mouth-to-mouth" required knocking the opponent down or even knocking him down several times as a prerequisite, but this was not necessary when facing friends.

"I understand……"

"That's right. Let's go train! Konan, go get everyone together. From what Shin-san said, that guy's ideology is extremely twisted. I'm worried that he might not just attack Nagato."

Shin Cod did not reveal anything about the Ten-Tails and the Moon Eye, but it basically explained that Obito wanted to ignore the wishes of the people in the ninja world and forcibly "destroy" the existing world with brutal force, which was inconsistent with Yahiko's philosophy.

"That makes sense. I'll go right away."

After Konan left, Yahiko patted Nagato on the shoulder again, "Let's continue to work towards peace. If it really doesn't work... you can go find Teacher Jiraiya. If it's him, I believe he can at least guarantee your safety..."

"..."

Afterwards, Yahiko also left the room, leaving Nagato sitting on a chair beside him, lost in thought.

About five minutes later...

"I won't let you and Konan face the difficulties alone, Yahiko."

Nagato regained his faith, just like when he first heard Yahiko explain his dream.

Suddenly, Nagato found a scroll suddenly appeared in front of him.

"Huh? This is it?"

The scroll slowly unfolded, and the contents inside immediately confused Nagato. Even just the title made Nagato a little confused, "Nagato, the user manual? Does this mean... use my manual?"

Afterwards, the scroll was completely opened, and what surprised Nagato was that, although the scroll looked like it could hold hundreds of words, it only had eleven words excluding the title.

"Wind, thunder, water, fire, and earth, these are undoubtedly the five nature changes of chakra. What do these mean? Animal, heaven, human, cultivation, hunger, and hell? "

"Although I don't know where it came from, and I don't understand what it means for the time being, but... I always feel that this thing should not be that simple."

After studying it for a while, Nagato decided to put this mysterious thing away for the time being.

……

On the other side, Shin Cod finally arrived at the place where he had agreed to meet with Orochimaru.

Seeing the real cod gradually approaching, Orochimaru put down the book in his hand and carefully looked at the real cod, who looked slightly different from when he left before. He almost thought that someone was trying to perform a transformation in front of him, but when the real cod really got close, he still used a little perception ninjutsu and felt the special chakra on the real cod.

"Oh? It seems that Makoto-kun has changed a lot. Could it be that he has gained something unexpected?"

"Almost. I've figured out some things. I used to be afraid that the world around me would change in a bad direction because of me. But now I find that I have done enough things unintentionally, so I decided to go all out..." After arriving at the pavilion to shelter from the rain, Shincod took off his black robe and shook off the rain with his Susanoo arm.

"Oh? Could it be that you want to do something? I have always believed that as long as you are willing, then this ninja world may not even be big enough for you to roam alone."

"Roaming the ninja world? No, quite the opposite. I will beat up all those who want to wander the ninja world and disturb my peace and make them quit their trouble-making addiction. If they are not honest, I will make them lose the ability to cause trouble forever."

It turns out that the power of the Susanoo spin dryer is indeed excellent. In just a short while, Shincod's coat has been basically dried. After folding the clothes and putting them on the stone table beside him, Shincod said, "As for the mission, it went quite smoothly. The Akatsuki organization is indeed an organization dedicated to achieving peace as they advertised. Although they admire Hanzo very much, they have not yet been recognized by the other party. In addition, its leader is a student of Senior Jiraiya, which is why this word is used."

"Jiraiya's students? The Land of Rain..." Orochimaru recalled the three war orphans that he had nearly killed. "I see... It really seems like something that stupid student would do."

Orochimaru didn't think that Shinji would make up a story to lie to him just for such a small matter, so there was only one answer - it was all Jiraiya's fault.

"In that case, then even if the mission is accomplished, there's nothing worth staying in the Rain Country, so let's go back." Orochimaru simply put on his clothes and prepared to leave, leaving Shinji, who had just finished drying his clothes and was planning to take a short rest, feeling a little helpless.

"Forget it. Come to think of it, there is nothing worth paying attention to in the Rain Country except Nagato and his group. The money for this A-rank mission is really..."

The reward for an A-level mission is generally between 15 and 100 taels. Although Konoha was extremely poor during this period, a mission like this, such as infiltrating into another country to gather intelligence, could not possibly be lower than the average.

"In the end, I didn't expect to earn hundreds of thousands of ryo just by traveling. The income of a ninja is really lucrative."

Hearing what Zhen Cod said, Orochimaru shook his head and said, "Money is not important. The key is that this mission wasted a lot of our time. This kind of thing cannot be bought with any amount of money."

Suddenly, Orochimaru found that his left foot had missed a step.

"Ok?"

"What happened?" Seeing Orochimaru, who had just walked out of the pavilion, suddenly stopped, Shinji immediately opened his Sharingan and scanned around, and found that there was no sign of chakra flow.

Orochimaru did not answer Shinji's question immediately. Instead, he condensed his chakra under his feet and then stomped hard. In an instant, the ground collapsed, revealing something similar to the entrance to an underground palace.

At this time, Zhen Cod asked: "Uh, could it be that we have encountered some ancient ruins or something like that?"

However, Orochimaru shook his head very straightforwardly, "Unfortunately, it is not. This wall is exactly the same as the pavilion next to it for shelter from the rain. It was built no more than 15 years ago. If nothing unexpected happens, it should be a cellar built during the Second Ninja World War to hide things."

"I see. Then it's probably nothing good. I thought I was just on a mission and came across a secret room that recorded some ancient ninjutsu."

"Is it a good thing? You'll know after you take a look." Orochimaru began to form hand seals, "Earth Style: Earthquake Core."

In a flash, the secret room that was originally built underground was lifted up from the ground, and Orochimaru quickly found the real gate and blew it up with a fire escape.

"Um, Teacher Orochimaru, don't you think you're a little too skilled at this? Are you sure you don't secretly dig up graves and steal some burial objects?" Thinking of Orochimaru's Impure World Reincarnation and his need for experimental funds, Shin Cod had reason to suspect that Orochimaru would occasionally play the role of a tomb raider.

"Ahem, don't worry about such meaningless things."

From Shincod's perspective, Orochimaru slowly walked into the place he called the cellar. Originally, Shincod didn't think much about it, but when he walked in, he saw the smoke left after the summoning technique or reverse summoning technique was activated. Then, he glanced at the ground and found that there was an area of ​​about three square meters on the ground with almost no dust at all, which formed a sharp contrast with the surrounding ground.

"Teacher Orochimaru, this is not very kind of you. Without three to five million, I can hardly guarantee that this matter will not be disclosed to the Sandaime."

Originally, Shincod thought that Orochimaru would not reply, but he heard him say in a calm tone: "Too much, one million."

Seeing Zhen Gei, Zhen Cod started bargaining directly, "Then two million."

"it is good."

"...It seems that what I asked for is still too little. I can actually pick up so many good things in this wilderness...Okay, since you, Master Orochimaru, found it first, I don't want too much, but I want to know what the things in here are and how much they are worth."

"I don't know, but it will definitely not be less than the reward for 10 S-level missions."

"So, this is what they mean by reducing expenses by 90% in various forms..." Orochimaru thought of the contract that suddenly appeared in front of him, and the corners of his mouth curled up in an arc that made others uncomfortable.

In fact, Orochimaru has only completed more than ninety S-level missions over the years, less than a hundred.

"...That's tens of millions, right? You're being too mean. How about this, Master Orochimaru, just make me a little toy, and I won't pursue the matter."

"A little gadget? Interesting. Compared to the money, I'm more curious about what kind of crazy ideas Mr. Zhen Cod has come up with."

Although Shinko did not show a very high IQ, Orochimaru discovered that Shinko's way of thinking was different from all the ninjas he had ever seen. In his opinion, Shinko always thought about ninja things with a logic that was not that of a ninja, which made it easy for him to see things that other ninjas, including Orochimaru, did not notice.

"That is to say, Orochimaru-sensei, can you use a sealing scroll to seal earth escape techniques and earthquake core-type ninjutsu, and set up a trigger device that anyone can easily open, that is, the kind that allows me to use this sealed ninjutsu scroll to tap the ground with my backhand to automatically trigger the earthquake core... This kind of thing, I call it a secret scroll, can you make it with your skills?"

"Secret scroll... Hehe, you are worthy of being the real Cod, right? No problem. Although I have never made it before, I think that with my skills, it shouldn't take much time to make such a scroll. However, the cost of this thing is probably much more expensive than the price of the detonating tag, so it may not really affect the combat mode of the Konoha ninja."

"Although this is an extremely low-cost idea, it seems to be a good way to defraud Sarutobi-sensei of his funds..."

"As long as the skill is strong enough, the price doesn't matter. Anyway, make a few scrolls of wind, thunder, water and earth escape. Maybe they don't have much practical benefit for me, but I never think that the functionality of ninjutsu is just in combat, just like the earthquake core you used just now, Orochimaru."

"Is that so? That does make some sense."
