Travel through Konoha and open treasure chests

"Zeus found traces of Orochimaru's activities?"

The illusion space created by the magic lantern body technique,

Projections emerged one after another around the circular stone pillars. Mobile version m..

Compared with the previous gatherings, the number of people at this gathering was obviously much larger. Except for Obito, whose pseudonym was A Fei, almost all current members of the Akatsuki organization were present here. The leader, Pain Tiandao, quickly announced the latest information.

"Orochimaru?"

When they heard this name, several members of the Akatsuki organization were obviously a little disturbed.

"Isn't that guy... already dead?"

It was Koto who spoke.

As he spoke, Jiaodu turned his head and glanced at Bai Mingyu and Xie. A low and hoarse voice came out from under the mask, and it sounded gloomy.

Nearly a year has passed since the incident in Bird Country.

The news of Orochimaru's death was also confirmed at that time.

Shortly after that, Orochimaru's remaining forces withdrew from the Akatsuki organization. Considering that the former had completed many tasks when he was in the organization, Pain Tiandao did not pursue this matter in depth and did not issue a target as in the original work. Orochimaru's pursuit order. Of course, this is also related to Orochimaru being "dead", so there is no need to waste time in a dead body.

Most of the elderly people present knew this very well.

The only two people, Deidara and Hidan, were newcomers to the Akatsuki organization after what happened in the Bird Country, and they were a little confused at the moment.

Deidara originally wanted to ask Scorpion, but after whispering a few words and being ignored, he moved closer to Bai Mingyu and asked in a low voice: "Hey, who is Orochimaru?"

"..."

Bai Mingyu glanced at Deidara, who had a good look on his face, somewhat speechlessly: "You have been partnering with Scorpion for so long, and you don't even know who your ex is?"

"Ex? What do you mean? Is that guy the eldest brother's former partner?"

Deidara scratched his head, confused.

Speaking of,

Because of the impact of Bai Mingyu joining the Akatsuki organization, both the time of Orochimaru's defection and the time when Deidara joined the Akatsuki organization have changed a lot from the original work, but Deidara replaced Orochimaru. The fact that he became Scorpion's partner has not changed, and Deidara's code name has also changed from "Blue Dragon" in the original work to "Korachan" that Orochimaru once used.

Considering that Scorpio and Orochimaru have always had a bad relationship, it is entirely possible that he did not take the initiative to mention the latter to Deidara.

However, Deidara, who is a rebel ninja of Iwagakure Village and a disciple of the third generation Tsuchikage, does not even know the name of the three ninjas, which is a bit unreasonable...

Is there nothing else in this guy's head besides explosions?

the other side,

Pain Tiandao coughed slightly, interrupting the chatter of several people.

"Orochimaru was indeed killed, but according to the latest information we have obtained, he seemed to have resurrected himself not long ago through some special ninjutsu, and he also left some activities near Tianno Country. Traces... The authenticity of this information has not been fully confirmed, but considering that the guy was once a member of the organization and holds a large amount of confidential information related to the Akatsuki organization, it is necessary to send someone to investigate.

Bai Yu, Ye Cang, this task is left to you two. "

"Ok?"

Bai Mingyu was stunned for a moment, a little surprised.

If I remember correctly...

Shouldn't this mission belong to Scorpion and Deidara?

Faced with Bai Mingyu's doubts, Payne Tiandao didn't explain much, and quickly assigned tasks to other groups. A series of intensive action arrangements gave Bai Mingyu a faint smell of something unusual.

Especially among these missions, there is also a mission related to Takigakure Village...

The overall strength of Takigakure Village is not strong. Although the history of establishing the village is quite long, and there were some powerful ninja masters at one time, due to various reasons, it has been declining since decades ago, and its talents are increasingly withered. ...If we dig deeper, this phenomenon has a lot to do with angles.

When the latter defected from Takigakure Village, he killed many elite ninja in order to steal the secret technique Ji Yu. Takigakure is not a large village with a large population like Konoha. As a result of losing many elites, it has been in decline since then and has not recovered for decades.

but……

There is a tailed beast in Takigakure Village!

And if I remember correctly, the tailed beast's Jinchuurifu was about the same age as Naruto.

Could it be that the Akatsuki organization... is planning to take action against the tailed beasts?

Bai Mingyu narrowed his eyes, with a trace of hesitation in his eyes.

When Obito and Black Zetsu came back from outside a few days ago, he knew about it, but he didn't know where they had gone before. Even if Nagato agreed to cooperate, it was impossible for him to reveal this kind of information to him. Therefore, Bai Mingyu can only judge by himself based on the clues revealed so far. If Obito really wants to implement the tailed beast capture plan in advance, compared to other tailed beasts under the strict protection of the five ninja villages, the Nanao of Takigakure Village is indeed the softest persimmon.

Any two-person team within the Akatsuki organization can almost certainly take down this tailed beast.

but……

After that?

Once the tailed beast capture plan is started, there is no possibility of it being stopped. Once the five major countries discover the Akatsuki organization's intentions, the next thing the Akatsuki organization will face is likely to be elite troops from the five major ninja villages. If they are not fully prepared, With Obito's character, he probably wouldn't do such a shocking thing.

Thinking of this, Bai Mingyu temporarily suppressed his doubts.

We can only wait and see what happens.

The magic of the lantern body is lifted,

The projections in the illusion space gradually dissipated.

Bai Mingyu opened his eyes, spread out a map of the ninja world in front of him, and found the location Pain Tiandao said at the junction of the Land of Fields and the Land of Fire: "Is there any trace of Orochimaru..."

To be honest, Bai Mingyu was very suspicious that this was a trap.

With how slippery Orochimaru is, if he wanted to hide, even Black Zetsu might have a hard time locating him. But now, at this time, Orochimaru's whereabouts appear in the sight of the Akatsuki organization, which is really strange. Perhaps this so-called intelligence was simply bait thrown out by Orochimaru. As for the purpose, it was nothing more than to lure a certain target into a hook.

"Did this guy die once and still not give up?"

Bai Mingyu shook his head and smiled helplessly.

If Orochimaru's target was really him, he might have miscalculated again.
