Konoha: Be cautious from Hinata

Nagato informed her that the place she was going to was not a high tower, but the underground near Amegakure Village.

There is the real base of the Akatsuki organization, where a huge heretic demon is stored. Nagato's body is there, controlling the Six Paths puppets through the heretic demon.

Drilling through the rock cracks and ventilation ducts, the pieces of paper gradually condensed and took shape.

This is a place that only she, Xiaonan, can reach.

Looking at the skinny Nagato in the distance, a trace of distress and worry flashed in Konan's eyes.

Although Nagato was the weakest of the three in the past, he could barely walk upright, but now he is so thin that he has no human shape. The ferocious heretic demon is absorbing Nagato's vitality all the time.

Noticing Konan, Nagato gradually opened his eyes. Before Konan could ask, he took the lead and said: "Konan, just now there was a strange movement in the heretic demon statue."

"Can you find the reason?" Xiaonan's eyes flashed strangely and asked.

"It may be because of the death of the tailed beast, or it may be due to other reasons. The direction given by the heretic demon is the location of the Kingdom of Wind."

Nagato was also full of doubts about the strange movements of the heretic demon statue.

He just knew that the heretic demon was the shell of the former Ten-Tails, and that it was necessary to collect the tailed beasts to become a complete body. He only heard the information from Abi, who claimed to be Madara Uchiha.

What kind of plan to collect tailed beasts and eyes of the moon?

He doesn't want to carry out the Eye of the Moon project, but he does want to collect tailed beasts and realize the dream of peace left by Yahiko.

When collecting tailed beasts, you must ensure the survival of the tailed beasts, otherwise the progress will be greatly delayed.

After pondering for a while, Xiaonan folded his hands on his chest and said, "Nagato, do you need me to go to the Kingdom of Wind in person, or do you need to notify other official members?"

"Notify the official members that there has been no meeting for a long time."

Nagato nodded, and had no objection to this establishment. Most of the official members of the Akatsuki organization were extremely vicious people, and he, a god, was needed to beat them from time to time.

Soon, using the heretic golem, the ghost magic lantern technique gradually contacted the members of the Akatsuki organization from the outside world.

As his consciousness was absorbed in the projection technique, Nagato's face and tone also changed into those of Tendo Payne.

During the meeting, not all members of the Akatsuki organization were present, but it was enough.

Concealing the strange movements of the Heretic Golem, Xiaonan and Payne told the story of what happened in the Kingdom of Wind in another way.

After some silence and thinking, Xie took a step forward and said: "As for the desert of the Kingdom of Wind, I think of the ancient Loulan Kingdom, a city that has been destroyed. There seems to be a power called Dragon Veins there... It seems to be sealed by a yellow flash.

But Orochimaru, who was once a Sannin, probably already knows these things more clearly."

The conversation was transferred to Orochimaru, who still had a sinister smile on his face and said:

"The dragon veins were indeed sealed by the fourth generation of Konoha, but the power of the dragon veins is not as strong as the tailed beasts, and it is more useless than the human puppets of Scorpion. Is the leader interested?"

"Orochimaru, you are looking for death." Scorpion, who was ridiculed, glared at Orochimaru.

Orochimaru smiled disapprovingly. The conflict between him and Scorpion was not just a day or two. They were both people pursuing eternity, but they had huge conflicts in terms of ideas.

If it weren't for the third-generation Kazekage puppet who was afraid of Scorpion, he would have wanted to teach the former a lesson.

"Dragon veins, interesting stuff..." Payne said with interest: "Who is willing to go to the Kingdom of Wind, see the dragons, and collect intelligence?"

Kakuzu was the first to shake his head: "If there is no reward, I don't have any interest."

Loquat Juzo also looked uninterested. As a mist ninja, he didn't want to go to arid areas.

In the end, Xie stood up and said in a helpless tone:

"Leave it to me. I haven't returned to the Kingdom of Wind for a long time, but I hope to form a separate team with Orochimaru as soon as possible. I'm afraid I won't be able to help but kill him."

"After we recruit suitable members, we will separate you. You first go to the Country of Wind to check for information."

Payne agreed to Scorpion's request. He was also aware of the conflict between Scorpion and Orochimaru, and understood that trouble would occur if they stayed together. Although he was confident in his own strength.

But I don’t want to lose two of the power gained from collecting the tailed beasts.

Orochimaru glanced at Scorpion, and then glanced at Pain and Konan a few more times. The greed in his eyes showed no restraint, and he acquiesced to this arrangement.

The reason why he joined the Akatsuki organization was very simple, because he coveted the reincarnation eye in Pain's eyes.

Those legendary eyes that belonged to the Sage of Six Paths, he had seen Pain when he was a child. At that time, Pain was accepted as a disciple by Jiraiya, but how did he have the Samsara Eye now?

This was something he had always wanted to explore clearly.

As for agreeing to go to the Kingdom of Wind with Xie, the purpose is also very clear, which is to get a glimpse of the true appearance of Dragon Vein and what happened in the desert of the Kingdom of Wind.

He had also sensed the previous vibration in the Kingdom of Wind.

What's more important is that he received a special message, which was sent personally by that guy Wan She.

The sender of the news was none other than the most special White Snake Immortal in Longdi Cave, who asked him to investigate the movements of the dragon veins.

That was the White Snake Immortal who could control natural energy and achieve near-immortality.

If he had not been able to learn the immortal mode and pursue power, how could he use the newly found child to study the curse seal?

Even the White Snake Immortal was interested in the dragon veins, so he naturally wanted to take a closer look.

………

In a desert oasis.

Hinata Zou and Yin, who had obtained the dragon vein, did not leave immediately.

Instead, they stayed near the oasis where Loulan survivors gathered to discuss further cooperation matters.

During this period, many Sand Ninjas passed by and met Queen Loulan, who was related to Dragon Vein. In front of the Sand Ninjas, Queen Sara once again realized her own weakness.

In name only, she was called the Queen by the Suna Ninja, but the Suna Ninja had a condescending attitude.

During this period, many sand ninjas even used simple illusions on them to inquire about suspicious persons nearby, and the results were naturally obvious.

From the moment he entered the camp, the Sand Ninja was controlled by Kaleidoscope and was unable to even realize it.

This also allowed Queen Sarah to firmly cooperate with Hyugazo. After all, Hyugazo's cooperation was not harsh, it was just to help exploit the oil here.

Legally speaking, as the Queen of Loulan, she owns a lot of territory in the desert.

In addition to checking out Queen Sarah and the Loulan survivors, the caravan staying here also attracted the attention of the Sand Ninjas. However, compared to the Loulan survivors, the Sand Ninjas had a much better attitude towards the caravans.

The poor Country of Wind is very attentive to caravans. Trade represents wealth, and the Country of Wind needs the circulation of wealth.

This obvious gap also makes the Loulan survivors here feel quite sad.

It's just that they are accustomed to the superior life brought by dragon veins, and it will take time to fully adapt to life.
