Chapter 71 A New Member of Akatsuki

At the edge of Orochimaru's gloomy base, an inexplicable energy fluctuation broke the silence around him, alerting Orochimaru who was deep in the forbidden knowledge in the research room. He raised his head suddenly, a trace of curiosity and vigilance flashed in his sinister eyes, and then his figure flashed and he was outside the base.

The two figures stood quietly, shrouded in a mysterious and strange atmosphere. Standing in front was Scorpion, wearing the iconic black robe of the "Akatsuki Organization" with swirling red clouds embroidered on it. His left hand was a complex and sophisticated double-mechanical device, and the ferocious ghost-faced puppet on his back, with an iron scorpion tail sticking out of it, exuded an ominous atmosphere.

Following closely behind was Pain, who was wearing the same clothes as Scorpion, revealing a pair of Rinnegan that seemed to be able to see into people's hearts.

"A guest is coming, Akatsuki?" Orochimaru's voice was low and magnetic, with a playful smile on the corner of his mouth, as if he was not surprised by the scene in front of him.

Scorpion responded coldly: "You are currently investigating the intelligence of our Akatsuki organization, Orochimaru. This behavior is very dangerous."

"I see, you are here to kill and silence people." Orochimaru chuckled, but there was no fear in his tone. "However, I already know something about you, Scorpion of the Red Sand. Although you are hiding in that ugly-looking puppet, your real weapon should be the Third Kazekage that you transformed into a puppet, right?"

Scorpion's pupils shrank slightly, and he was obviously surprised by Orochimaru's insight: "Oh, you investigated very carefully. I should not have leaked the information of the Third Kazekage."

Orochimaru's smile widened. He thought to himself: Although most of the current intelligence depends on Kabuto's collection, but that pair of unique eyes... His eyes fell on Pein involuntarily, and his heart was filled with indescribable excitement. "That's right, I never expected that in addition to the Sharingan, even the legendary Samsara Eye appeared in Akatsuki. This is really exciting news."

Orochimaru's chakra surged instantly, and a strong wind swept out from him, blowing the surrounding trees to the ground. The clothes and hair of Scorpion and Pein were also blown by this force. He licked his dry lips, with greed in his eyes: "I am now very interested in the Akatsuki organization, and I really want to find out more."

However, Scorpion was unmoved. He snorted coldly: "I don't care what you are interested in, Orochimaru. Today, you are destined to die here."

Hearing this, Orochimaru raised his lips with an evil smile: "It's hard to say, Scorpion. Maybe I can capture you and get information about Akatsuki from you. What do you think?"

Scorpion snorted coldly and said to Payne, "Leave this opponent to me, you don't need to intervene." Payne nodded, slowly retreated, and made room for battle.

Scorpion slowly peeled away from Fei Liuhu's shadow, revealing his cold and mechanized body, with a provocative smile on his lips.

"Orochimaru, I can use Scorpion, but do you want me to experience complete failure?" Scorpion's voice was low.

Orochimaru's pupils shrank slightly, and a hint of excitement and curiosity flashed in his eyes. "Let me have a taste of complete failure. Let me see what your so-called 'complete failure' really feels like." His words were full of amusement, and he did not take the threat in front of him seriously.

With a wave of Scorpion's hand, the puppet of the Sandaime Kazekage suddenly woke up, surrounded by the power of magnetic escape, and giant iron sand needles poured out like a rainstorm, each of which was sharp and powerful enough to penetrate steel. The area where Orochimaru was instantly covered in a silver rain of needles. A thick fog suddenly rose, and Orochimaru fell to the ground and died.

"It's over..." Scorpion whispered to himself and took back the puppet.

Pein looked at Orochimaru who fell to the ground and sensed the snake's chakra: "Not necessarily, it's not over yet."

Sure enough, when the fog dissipated, Orochimaru's figure was seen deformed in an incredible way. His body was like a flexible snake, and the snake head instantly rushed towards Pain at an astonishing speed. His greedy eyes stared straight at the opponent's Rinnegan, which was the treasure he had always dreamed of.

"Hand it over, Rinnegan!" Orochimaru's voice was slightly distorted with excitement, but the persistence and madness were chilling.

However, just as his fingers were about to touch those mysterious eyes, Pein's gaze alone made Orochimaru feel unprecedented pressure, as if the weight of the whole world was pressing on him, making him unable to move.

At this moment, Pein waved his right hand lightly, and a miniature version of the ninja world version of the Buddha's Wrathful Lotus, a miniature version of the Red Lotus Explosion and Burning Sky Wrathful Lotus, was created. It was an exquisite application of the ninjutsu he learned from the novels of the great writer Naruko. Although no sealing technique was used, it was only a mixture of three attributes of chakra, but its power was enough to shock people. The ball of fire silently sank into Orochimaru's mouth, and then a series of explosions broke out in his body, tearing his body into pieces.

In the crisis, Orochimaru relied on his years of survival wisdom and spent a huge amount of chakra to activate the Snake Substitute Technique, which allowed him to escape this fatal crisis. However, when he reappeared, his original body had turned to ashes, the air was filled with a pungent smell of burning, and Orochimaru's eyes were flashing with fear.

Pein's eyes revealed an unquestionable majesty, and he slowly said: "Orochimaru, this frolic is enough, it's time to reveal your true intentions."

Orochimaru raised a playful smile, his eyes flashing with a cunning light, as if the life-and-death moment he just experienced was just a part of his plan. "Haha, indeed, I was almost killed by your Red Lotus Explosion, but fortunately it didn't have the power in the book. Anyway, let me be straightforward. I, Orochimaru, want to join your Akatsuki."

Upon hearing this, Scorpion frowned, his eyes full of disdain and vigilance: "What is this guy doing now?" He snorted coldly.

Seeing this, Orochimaru smiled even more, with a bit of confidence and provocation in his tone: "Scorpion, you should be able to feel that I didn't show my true strength just now. You and I know this very well."

The corner of Scorpion's mouth twitched slightly, obviously dissatisfied with Orochimaru's confidence, but he just snorted and turned his gaze to Pain, waiting for the leader's decision.

After a moment of silence, Pein slowly said: "Okay, Orochimaru, I allow you to join Akatsuki and become one of us."

Hearing this, Scorpion was surprised, and was obviously surprised by Payne's decision. "Is it really okay? He doesn't look that reliable, he just wants to get our information." Scorpion's tone was a little worried.

Payne shook his head slightly, his eyes deep: "Instead of letting him wander outside and spy on our intelligence, it is better to keep him by my side. Besides, he should be very clear that as long as I am around, he can't do whatever he wants." Payne's confidence and determination made Scorpion unable to refute.

Orochimaru was secretly happy, but he remained calm on the surface. He knew that he had to show sincerity and obedience at this moment. "Yes, I understand that."

Payne: That's good. After saying that, he and Scorpion turned around and said, "Let's go back!" Scorpion snorted and followed Payne away.

Orochimaru thought to himself: "It seems that we can't act rashly now. In the short term..."

"Strange, that face... I seem to have seen it somewhere..." Orochimaru thought to himself, and an inexplicable sense of familiarity came over him. He looked up into the distance, his eyes flashing with endless curiosity and expectation about fate. "Fate is really interesting."

Orochimaru sent a loyal snake as a messenger to quietly pass the news back to his base, and then he followed closely behind Pein and Scorpion.

While Pain and Scorpion were active, on the other side, Konan and Kakuzu, two official members of the Akatsuki organization, were also carrying out the task of recruiting and earning money. In an unexpected encounter, they met the great wizard Biwa, the monk Fayi in the Sand Country.

A gust of sand blew by, making Kakuzu feel uncomfortable. "The environment here is really unlucky," Kakuzu said. Konan and Kakuzu were standing behind a sand dune, observing a fierce battle not far away. A scarred monk in a monk's robe, holding an ancient pipa, seemed calm in the face of a powerful enemy that was several times his size. The monk was Fayi, and his eyes revealed an extraordinary tranquility and determination.

"Hmph, you stinky monk, how dare you provoke us!" The enemy leader roared and commanded his men to launch a fierce attack. However, Monk Fayi just smiled slightly and plucked the strings of the pipa with his fingers. Suddenly, a strange wave filled the air. As his fingering changed, hair-thin chakra chains emerged from the pipa, spinning and winding like chains, binding the enemies one by one.

Konan and Kakuzu looked at each other, both of them were shocked. "This man is very powerful, if we can use him for our benefit..." Konan whispered.

The battle ended quickly, and Monk Hoichi won with an overwhelming advantage. Just as he was about to leave, Konan and Kakuzu appeared and blocked his way.

"Master Hoichi, we are from the Akatsuki organization and are very interested in your abilities." Konan spoke first, her voice soft but with a power that could not be ignored.

Monk Fayi nodded slightly, looking at the two calmly: "Akatsuki organization? I haven't heard of it. Why are you looking for me?"

Xiaonan stepped forward and said bluntly: "We need your strength, Fayi. We need more strong people like you to join us."

Monk Fayi pondered for a moment, looked at Xiaonan and Kakuzu, and said slowly: "Then please prove that you are indeed worthy of my joining!" After saying that, he was ready to take action

Hearing this, Xiaonan raised a confident smile and whispered, "As you wish." After that, she flashed and instantly turned into countless paper clones, floating down like autumn leaves, surrounding Monk Fayi. Each clone was lifelike, and it was difficult to tell the real from the fake. They danced or leaped, weaving into an intricate maze, trying to disturb Monk Fayi's mind.

Kakuzu watched silently from the side, his hands slightly raised, the five attributes of chakra jumping at his fingertips, ready to attack at any time. Kakuzu has a heart with five attributes and can use five attributes of ninjutsu, which is his greatest reliance.

Facing Konan's army of paper clones, Monk Fayi did not panic. He gently plucked the pipa strings, and a melodious melody echoed in the air, but this melody was full of murderous intent. As his fingering changed, the sound of the pipa strings seemed to turn into invisible tentacles, accurately penetrating the disguise of the paper clones and binding them one by one. These seemingly fragile chakra chains possessed amazing power, and even Konan's carefully made paper clones could hardly break free.

However, just when Ho-Yi thought he was about to win, Kakuzu suddenly appeared behind him, and five types of chakra burst out at the same time, forming a colorful energy shock. Ho-Yi reacted quickly, but was still knocked back several steps by this powerful force, and his face changed slightly.

At this moment, Konan's God of Paper Technique was quietly activated. She used the paper clone as a cover, quietly approached the monk Hoichi, and tried to seal him with a huge paper talisman. But the monk Hoichi was obviously prepared. He turned around suddenly, and the sound of the pipa strings sounded again. A more complex chakra chain was formed instantly, which not only blocked the attack of the paper talisman, but also cleverly bypassed Kakuzu's defense, trying to bind both of them at the same time.

However, at this critical moment, Kakuzu quickly changed his tactics and used the earth escape jutsu to escape underground, avoiding the restraint of the chakra chains; while Konan took the opportunity to launch a surprise attack, using the illusion created by the paper clone to confuse the monk Hoichi, while his real body quietly approached, ready to deliver a fatal blow.

Monk Fayi saw this and couldn't help but secretly admire the strength of the two. He knew that he could no longer hold back his strength. So he took a deep breath, and the chakra surged throughout his body. The talismans on his body began to flash, and the sound of the pipa strings suddenly became passionate and high-pitched. As his song ended, the entire battlefield seemed to be shrouded by an invisible force, and the chakra chains surged like living things, trying to clear all obstacles.

However, even this full-strength attack failed to completely defeat Konan and Kakuzu. With their superb skills, the two finally succeeded in breaking the attack of Monk Hoichi. When the last trace of chakra chain dissipated into the air, Monk Hoichi slowly put away his pipa, with a flash of admiration in his eyes.

"I lost." He admitted frankly, "You two are so strong that I am convinced. As the loser, I am willing to join the Akatsuki organization."

When Xiaonan heard this, a bright smile broke out on her face: "Welcome to join us." As she said that, she waved her hand and invited Monk Fayi to go forward together.
