Naruto: Itachi Hears the Bell

"Perhaps only time will tell about the future, so let's not talk about it for now. Why did you get injured in Iwagakure Konan?" Bagpipe changed the subject.

"Haha, we were entrusted by Tsuchikage Onoki to do a mission here. Xiaonan got separated from me while gathering information. The enemy who couldn't defeat me targeted her when she was alone. She was outnumbered and injured, and there were pursuers behind her. She was desperate and hid in your house out of desperation." Payne said slowly.

Bagpipe was shocked: "What do you mean the Tsuchikage entrusted you with a mission and he knew you were doing this? How is this possible?"

Payne sneered: "Hmph, Bagpipe, you are too naive. It seems that old man Tsuchikage has taught you nothing in these years. This is the so-called politics. In recent years, the big countries have been calm on the surface, so the upper-class figures in those countries have been stupid. Thinking that the age of peace has really arrived, there is no need to prepare for war. It is useless to raise so many ninjas every year, so they reduce the funds allocated to each ninja village. If each ninja village cannot continue to operate, they have to lay off employees. After the layoffs, someone entrusted the difficulty coefficient High tasks and inability to do them.

But in comparison, the remuneration paid for the assigned tasks is far less than the military expenses to support the army. They neither want to expand the army, but also want to take on big tasks to make money. After much deliberation, they have settled it on us.

We are the same as before, no matter who we are, we accept any tasks, but now we receive payment. Our members are originally mercenaries, first-class professional masters, making our tasks almost foolproof. And after paying us, they can save a lot of money. Compared with the steady flow of supporting the army, the cost is small. A lot, so why not do it?

Therefore, even if they know who we are, there are always people who secretly want to take advantage of us, such as you Tsuchikage Ohnoki. "

Bagpipe was so distraught that he stared at Payne blankly, unable to say a word. Indeed, these were things he had never known before.

Payne looked at him calmly: "I know it's hard for you to accept it now, but that's the fact. There are some things that you don't want to believe even after you see them, let alone some things that you can't see. There is one more thing I want to tell you, you know Deidara, he has joined us and become our right-hand man."

Bagpipe was stunned: "Why did Deidara actually join you?"

"It is said that a scholar dies for his confidant. Here, he can fully display his value. Bagpipe, what do you think about it and join us? We will use another way to realize our common ideals."

"How is it possible to join Akatsuki?"

"Don't be stubborn anymore. Don't you know how corrupt this world has become? Why bother? Why bother to die for it? Think about it carefully. I won't force you. You are a smart man. I think you will make the right decision. Selected."

Bagpipe pondered for a moment: "Okay, I will consider it, but before that I have a request, just as you repay my favor. Payne, I want you to make a promise."

"Don't be so cautious about doing business, just tell me." Payne smiled.

"You are not allowed to take action against Iwagakure."

Payne thought for a while: "Okay, I'll try my best. But don't worry, we might have opportunities to cooperate in the future."

"By cooperating, you mean that the Tsuchikage will still use you."

Payne's lips curled up: "Maybe."

At this moment, the door to the outer compartment of the entrance opened with a bang, and the girl's lazy voice came: "Oh, I'm so exhausted."

Bagpipe was stunned for a moment, and then he knew who had come in. Besides the wind chimes, who else would dare to break into the bagpipe room without knocking?

"Someone is coming." Payne's eyes were filled with murderous intent, and two black sticks suddenly appeared in his hand.
