Listen to advice: I, Sasuke, why should I defect to Konoha?

Somewhere in the Kingdom of Rain, in a dimly lit empty cave.

"Psychic · Heretic Demon..."

Suddenly, a sudden low shout broke the dark and strange calm.

Just hearing a boom, a humanoid monster with dead wood that was almost the same color as the mountain rocks rose up from the ground, its size was comparable to that of a tailed beast.

A white cloth wraps around the ferocious face to cover the closed eyes. There are ten protruding foreign objects behind him, and the fingers of his hands are facing up in the shape of flower hands.

It's just that in the darkness with insufficient light, you can only vaguely see the outline of the monster, which is not enough to get a full picture!

"Gathering, magic lantern body technique..."

As the voice sounded again, nine phantoms in red clouds and black robes appeared out of thin air, each shining with colorful light and appearing on the nine fingertips of the humanoid monster.

"Is something going to happen again? This meeting seems to be a little earlier..."

"Gah ga ga, no matter what it is. Anyway, it should be over quickly. I still have to sacrifice to the evil god..."

"Although I don't agree with your philosophy, I am consistent with you on this matter. I have just developed a new work and am preparing to witness the dazzling moment of art with Uncle Scorpion!"

"That fleeting brilliance is not real art. Only eternity is the most perfect art. Deidara..."

"The beauty of art is the moment of explosion, Uncle Scorpion..."

"By the way, this is the first time everyone has gathered together since Orochimaru defected. Everyone, long time no see!"

"Itachi, Kisame, I heard that you went to Konoha? There have been a lot of big events there recently..."

"We are just looking for information about the Nine-Tails Jinchuuriki. We are not interested in knowing anything else." Uchiha Itachi said lightly with a scarlet flash in his eyes.

Could this sudden gathering be because of Konoha? ?

"That's the end of the chat! There are two things going on at this meeting..." Just when Uchiha Itachi was confused, the man in the first place suddenly opened his eyes and interrupted.

In an instant, a pair of purple reincarnation eyes appeared swaying and flickering in the darkness...

This person is naturally the leader of the Akatsuki organization, Tendo Payne.

"According to the intelligence collected by Zetsu, it has been confirmed that Konoha's Danzo Shimura, Koharu who has transferred to the dormitory, and Mito Kadoen are dead. The one who did it was Orochimaru..."

"So, that guy Orochimaru actually killed all the top officials of Konoha, headed by the Third Hokage. Is this guy going to trigger a war and destroy Konoha..." Hearing the news, Scorpion responded with a malicious buzz. .

As a rebel ninja of Sunagakure, although he didn't care about those boring wars, he was also happy to watch Konoha's jokes.

"Mr. Itachi..." At the same time, Kisame turned to look at Itachi's shadow.

But seeing those scarlet Sharingan eyes without any fluctuations, the words Kisame wanted to say suddenly choked in his throat. He couldn't see through the other person's thoughts at all...

"So, do you want us to take advantage of the chaos and kidnap the Nine-Tails Jinchuuriki? But with Jiraiya, the Sannin of Konoha, by his side, it's a bit difficult..." Uchiha Itachi continued to test out with a paralyzed face. It was the only connection he could think of.

"No, the Nine-Tails Jinchuuriki is not in a hurry. What I want to say is that the Iwagakure Village took advantage of this and attacked the Land of Fire. However, it was stopped by Konoha's copy ninja, Hatake Kakashi!"

"Now, Iwagakure hired us to assassinate Kakashi Hatake and his genius disciple, Uchiha Sasuke..."

【Sasuke! ! ] Hearing this, the murderous intent in Itachi's eyes flashed away, Sasuke was actually targeted by Tsuchikage Onoki.

"Huh? Well, if I remember correctly, that guy named Sasuke is Itachi's younger brother. He hired his brother's organization to kill his younger brother. Tsk, tsk, tsk, it seems like something good will happen!" Beside him, Deidara thought suddenly. What a weird joke.

Although I am very ashamed of what Old Man Onoki did, maybe it would be good fun to see these two brothers fighting each other...

He won't forget the nightmare that the Sharingan brought him so easily!

"I accepted this task, how much is the reward??" Silent Dudu suddenly spoke in a muffled voice, which changed the atmosphere of the place.

"Kakuzu, no one can complete this mission except me." Without hesitation, Itachi said with a murderous chill in his eyes, "My stupid brother must be solved by me!"

"Sure enough, he is a cold-blooded guy. He won't even spare his own brother." Seeing Itachi's attitude, Kakugo couldn't help but murmured with a cold face. "Then leave it to me, Kakashi."

"No, Hatake Kakashi is my target!" Kisame grinned next to him. They were a two-person team, so of course they had to act together for this kind of thing.

One per person, very fair...

"Then, leave this task to Itachi and Kisame." Kakuzu was so angry that he was about to get angry when Tendou Pain's voice resounded throughout the audience.

In itself, this task is given to Itachi and Kisame. As Itachi said, there is no one here who is more suitable than him!

"Hmph..." Seeing Pain speak, Kakuzu could only snort and remain silent.

"This mission seems to be a simple assassination mission. But it is also a critical opportunity for our Akatsuki to intervene in the situation of the ninja world! As long as Hatake Kakashi is killed, Iwagakure will definitely start a war. One move can affect the whole body, Kumogakure , Kirigakure, and Sunagakure will definitely be forced to participate. At that time, taking advantage of the chaotic war situation will be a perfect opportunity for our Akatsuki to capture the tailed beast..."

Seeing the different expressions on everyone's face, Tiandao Payne followed up with additional explanations.

This is the reason why he agreed to hire Onoki!

The Fourth Ninja War may be at this moment.

"Then, let's talk about the second thing now." Just as everyone's eyes flickered, Tiandao Payne suddenly turned around and looked into the void.

"Everyone, this is our new member..."

"New member??" After hearing Tiandao Payne's introduction, everyone looked sideways.

The next moment, the space around Tiandao Payne was distorted, and a man with an orange swirl mask on his face and a black robe with red clouds came through the air.

"Hi...seniors, my name is A Fei. We will be companions from now on, please take care of me..." As soon as the distorted space returned to calm, A Fei jumped out and screamed with an earnest look on his face.

Suddenly, the atmosphere just created by that terrifying appearance collapsed instantly...

Only Uchiha Itachi's eyes flashed with solemnity! Is this mysterious man who exterminated the clan with him finally coming out of the darkness...

"Ze, Fei will work with you from now on. Your first mission is to get back the Ring of Kong Chen from Orochimaru." Seeing Fei's funny back, a trace of confusion flashed deep in Tiandao Payne's eyes.

What on earth is this guy going to do?

Why do you want to go to the front desk, the target is Orochimaru? ?

"Orochimaru? If it's that guy, I do have a good chess piece here. Maybe we can cooperate..." Hearing this, Xie turned his eyes and looked at A Fei with a decision.

He is very interested in Orochimaru's research results...
