Chapter 311 The Akatsuki Organization
However, Deidara noticed his movement and turned around with a wicked smile: "Hahaha! So you've finally been captivated by the art I admire!"
"Hmph! It wasn't you who caused this!" Scorpion scoffed disdainfully, then emphasized, "Furthermore! Eternal beauty is true art!"
Perhaps because he saw the dazzling explosion, Deidara was in a good mood. This time, he surprisingly didn't continue arguing with Sasori. Instead, he was thinking about whether the explosion was caused by natural causes or human intervention.
If it was man-made, then I must find this guy! I must fight him to the death! I must show him my ultimate art! Even if it costs me my life!
As for the other members, some watched the excitement, some enjoyed the amusement, and some were troubled.
Naturally, this left Nagato and Konan in a difficult position.
Even if Nagato, who possesses the Rinnegan, cannot comprehend the movements in the universe, and even with his knowledge, he might not know the concept of the universe, he can still sense the presence of danger and understand that the series of fluctuations just now were most likely caused by humans!
With all the major forces in the ninja world gathered in Konoha, this sudden incident has made Nagato extremely uneasy!
Faced with such a being, Nagato felt that this being was a true god! He was utterly incomparable to it! At least he couldn't fight that far! Nor could he fly that high! And he certainly couldn't create such a commotion!
Judging from this scene, it's probably half... no, it's probably the entire ninja world that can see this clearly!
"Nagato, should we proceed according to the original plan?" Konan whispered to Nagato.
Nagato pondered in distress, unsure of what to do. To be on the safe side, he should definitely investigate the current situation in Konoha and see if this commotion was related to the people of Konoha. The problem was, their Akatsuki's top intelligence agent, Zetsu, was being targeted by Konoha, whether by chance or not!
Whether it's preventing infiltration or searching, Konoha has special methods that White Zetsu simply cannot penetrate!
Therefore, if an investigation were to be carried out, the Akatsuki organization would likely have to go into action themselves! They couldn't use transformation techniques, as that would make them easier to detect! However, most of their members are wanted criminals from various ninja villages, and with all the major forces in Konoha gathered there, they would inevitably be recognized if they went in directly!
The Akatsuki organization was bound to be exposed prematurely!
Obito pretended to be stupid, while Nagato was the real boss. He was just a crazy "newbie" who was pretending to be stupid. He should listen to the seniors!
However, Nagato's gaze was fixed on Obito, his meaning clear: You call yourself Uchiha Madara? Well, this Konoha is your territory! Why don't you go and do it?
Obito's lips twitched violently beneath the mask. Go? Where am I supposed to go? Wasn't the beating I got last time enough? I almost got psychologically traumatized by Minato Namikaze! Kamui is completely useless against Minato! Especially since he only has one Sharingan!
Now I truly regret that foolishly gave one of my Sharingan eyes to my best friend Kakashi! What a mistake! I couldn't fully utilize my own abilities! Wasn't that like sealing my own power? If I had both Sharingan eyes, Obito wouldn't have been so cowardly.
Even after Obito arrived, he did try to infiltrate Konoha to cause trouble or gather intelligence. The problem was that every time he got close to Konoha, Minato Namikaze would follow him like a dog with a keen sense of smell! This made Obito wonder if he had Minato Namikaze's Flying Thunder God seal on him.
In a sense, he was right!
Not to mention that Konoha somehow managed to briefly summon the First Hokage! The Nine-Tails, which they had finally managed to release back then, was suppressed by the First Hokage before it could do anything! The First Hokage's appearance brought Konoha peace for a long time.
Other ninja villages dared not act recklessly, fearing that the First Hokage might have faked his death, or that the Second Hokage might have left behind some forbidden technique!
After all, a person's reputation precedes them! The major ninja villages feared the First Hokage's power, but they feared the Second Hokage's character even more!
Nagato was quite helpless as Obito pretended not to see his signal. Leading a team was difficult! Obito was only his collaborator, and the two were wary of each other. If Obito didn't want to go on a mission, Nagato's orders wouldn't be very effective.
At this moment, Xiao Nan volunteered, "How about... I go in and investigate?"
"No way!" Nagato said decisively. His friend Yahiko had already died, and if something happened to Konan, he would truly have to die to atone for it! How could he face Yahiko?
However, Konan said, "Don't worry, I'm just going in to take a look. Besides, Jiraiya-sensei is in Konoha, so I'll be fine! And the person who caused us trouble back then, according to our investigation, we've already figured it out, haven't we? It was a member of Root, and that old man Danzo has been retired for a long time! Even he has never seen us before!"
Well, the reason Nagato agreed to attack Konoha ahead of schedule was not only because Konoha was developing too fast and if they missed this opportunity, they might not be able to defeat them in the future, but also because Nagato learned about another culprit who caused Yahiko's death.
Lord Guoying, you can't escape the consequences of your own actions!
Therefore, Danzo's location is also very important!
Although Nagato still didn't want to agree, to be honest, he had grievances against Konoha, but not to the point of having no feelings for Jiraiya at all. Especially after Minato Namikaze came to power and exposed some of Danzo's evil deeds, many of Konoha's shady dealings were all pinned on the Kage.
Of course, if he was wrongly accused... even a tenth of the time would be considered a lot!
Although he didn't kill Danzo, he crippled him considerably. Now, even while alive, Danzo is under surveillance and has no connection to power. For someone like him, living like this is even more painful! It can be considered revenge for Yahiko.
This did change Nagato's view of Konoha somewhat. He believed that Konoha was still salvageable. In the past, it was just a self-deluded, greedy, and senile old man causing trouble. The current Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze, was a figure worthy of their attention!
After thinking for a long time, Nagato considered Jiraiya's existence, and then thought that Konan wasn't wanted by any of the major ninja villages, so she was considered innocent. Besides, she was still a Kage-level ninja! Konan had done her fair share of missions, but it was just about infiltrating Konoha to gather intelligence. If all else failed, she could always ask Jiraiya for help. There shouldn't be any major problems.
Finally, after Konan repeatedly volunteered, Nagato agreed to let her take the lead.
However, at this moment, Hei Bai Jue declared, "I'll go too! If anything happens, I can take Xiao Nan with me and we can escape underground."
Yes, he is indeed easy to spot, but with the Mayfly Technique, White Zetsu's escape speed is top-notch! This time, Black Zetsu is openly infiltrating, and with a little disguise, there is naturally no possibility of him being discovered. Even if someone notices something is wrong, he can simply run away!
While Konoha does have the means to detect the Mayfly Technique, they do not know its exact appearance.
Nagato thought about it and agreed. Having another person would be safer, and Zetsu was indeed good at escaping. So he instructed the Rain Ninja in Konoha to assist the two of them.
That's right, Amegakure also sent ninjas to participate in the Chunin Exams, but they were just minor figures going through the motions. Unexpectedly, they could also be used as cover.
Nagato didn't care whether Black Zetsu's sudden request to participate in this operation was a problem. He thought it was normal, since Zetsu was in charge of intelligence, or perhaps Madara Uchiha (Obito) had spoken up.
Obito had just refused Nagato's request for action, and now he was too embarrassed to speak up. He just glanced at Black Zetsu with some doubt, feeling that... this guy seemed a little flustered.
What happened?
Why is Black Zetsu panicking? Isn't it obvious?
While others were drawn to the starry sky, he wasn't! His entire attention was captivated by the aura emanating from it!
It's Okasan!
Mother has broken the seal?!
Wait! No! It was that mysterious powerful being from the universe who actively broke Kaguya's seal!
OMG! Oh no! Okasan was knocked unconscious by this mysterious powerful figure (Black Zetsu only knew that Kaguya was unconscious, but didn't know exactly how she was knocked unconscious, so he had a preconceived notion that it was a physical stun) and then he was taken away!
Fortunately, Black Zetsu has a special connection with Kaguya, allowing it to pinpoint her approximate location and realize that she is currently in Konoha. It's like facing a mountain of knives and a sea of fire! It absolutely has to go in and check the situation!
How could Hei Jue not be uneasy? His esteemed mother had been inexplicably rescued from her seal by a mysterious powerful figure, only to be knocked unconscious and taken away just as inexplicably… His mother was as beautiful as a flower, a celestial being descended to earth! What if this mysterious powerful figure was in cahoots with the emperor of that time, lusting after his mother's body and plotting something wicked?
Hang in there! Oh, Okasan! Vadashi is coming to save you!
Hmm... So, what is Princess Kaguya doing right now?
Kaguya woke up shortly after being taken to the house in Konoha by Li Muyang. The first thing she did was check her clothes. Seeing that nothing was wrong, she glanced at Li Muyang's face and inexplicably showed a look of disappointment.
Li Muyang (′-i_-｀), an elderly man, on the subway, using a mobile phone.
Auntie, what do you mean?
That's all the time! What are you doing, bro? Who do you think you are?
"Ahem!" Li Muyang coughed lightly and said, "Princess Kaguya, right?"
"Yes... May I ask what you need me for?" Princess Kaguya asked cautiously. Although she was not quite clear about the current situation, she had seen the world in her day and knew that Li Muyang hadn't taken advantage of her, so there must be something else going on.
Well, don't misunderstand, what Princess Kaguya means is that since Li Muyang didn't kill her directly, everything should be negotiable. Otherwise, she wouldn't have any room to maneuver if the powerful figure in front of her wanted to do something!
