Listen to the advice: Why did I, Sasuke, defect from Konoha?

The old man was sitting on the ground, and the old man was sitting on the ground.

Somewhere in the Rain Country, in a dimly lit empty cave.

"Spiritual · Outer Path Demon Statue..."

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

With a bang, a dead wood humanoid monster with a color almost overlapping the rock rose from the ground, and its size was enough to match the tail beast.

On the hideous face, a white cloth was wrapped around the closed eyes, and behind it were ten protruding foreign objects, and both hands were in the shape of a flower hand with five fingers pointing up.

However, in this dark and insufficient light, only the general outline of the monster could be vaguely seen, and it was not enough to get a glimpse of the whole picture!

"Gather, the magic of the body..."

As the voice sounded again, nine shadows 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 gathering seems to be a little early..."

"Ha ha ha, no matter what it is. Anyway, finish it quickly, I still have to sacrifice the evil god..."

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

"That kind of fleeting brilliance is not real art, only eternity is the most perfect art. Deidara..."

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

"By the way, this is the first time that all members have gathered since Orochimaru defected. Everyone, long time no see!"

"Itachi, Kisame, I heard that you went to Konoha? There have been many major events there recently..."

"We are just going to explore the information of the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki. We are not interested in knowing other things." Uchiha Itachi said lightly with scarlet flashes in his eyes.

Is this sudden gathering because of Konoha? ?

"Let's stop chatting! There are two things to do at this gathering..." Just when Uchiha Itachi was in doubt, the man standing at the head suddenly opened his eyes and interrupted.

In an instant, a pair of purple samsara eyes appeared in the darkness, flickering...

This person was naturally the leader of the Akatsuki organization, Tendo Pain.

"According to the information collected by Zetsu, it has been confirmed that Shimura Danzo, Utatane Koharu, and Mito Kado En of Konoha have died. The one who did it was Orochimaru..."

"So, Orochimaru actually killed all the Konoha high-level officials headed by the Third Hokage. Is this guy going to start a war and destroy Konoha..." Hearing this news, Scorpion responded with a malicious buzzing sound.

As a rebel ninja of Sand Village, although he doesn't care about those boring wars, he is also happy to see the jokes of Konoha.

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

However, seeing the pair of unmoving scarlet Sharingans, Kisame was choking on what he wanted to say. He couldn't see through the other party's mind at all...

"So, next, we are going to take advantage of the chaos to kidnap the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki? But with Jiraiya, one of the Three Ninjas of Konoha, by his side, it's a bit difficult..." Uchiha Itachi continued to probe with a paralyzed face, which was the only connection he could think of.

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

"Now, the Hidden Rock Village hired us to assassinate Hatake Kakashi and his genius disciple, Uchiha Sasuke..."

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

"Huh? If I remember correctly, the guy named Sasuke is Itachi's younger brother. Hiring the organization that his brother belongs to to kill his younger brother, tut tut tut, it seems like there will be something interesting to watch!" Beside him, Deidara suddenly thought of something strange and laughed.

Although he was very disgusted with the old man Ohnoki's behavior, it might be fun to see the brothers killing each other...

He will not easily forget the nightmare brought to him by the Sharingan!

"I accept this mission, how much is the reward?" Kakuzu, who had been silent, suddenly spoke in a muffled voice, changing the atmosphere.

"Kakuzu, no one can complete this mission except me." Without hesitation, Itachi's eyes exuded a sharp murderous intent and said coldly, "My stupid brother must be solved by me!"

"Sure enough, he is a cold-blooded guy who doesn't even let his own brother go." Seeing Itachi's attitude, Kakuzu couldn't help but ponder with a cold face. "Then, leave Kakashi to me."

"No, Hatake Kakashi is my target!" Kisame next to him grinned and spoke

, they are a two-man team, so of course they have to act together for such things.

One for each person, very fair...

"Then, this task will be given to Itachi and Kisame." Kakuzu was about to lose his temper when the voice of Tendou Pain resounded throughout the venue.

In fact, this task was to be given to Itachi and Kisame. As Itachi said, no one present was more suitable than him!

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

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

Seeing that everyone had different expressions, Tendou Pain immediately added an explanation.

This is why he agreed to Ohnoki's employment!

The Fourth Ninja World War may be at this moment.

"Well, now let's talk about the second thing." Just as everyone's eyes flickered, Tendo Pain suddenly turned and looked into the void.

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

"New member?" Hearing Tendo Pain's introduction, everyone looked sideways.

The next moment, the space around Tendo Pain was distorted, and a man wearing an orange vortex mask and a red cloud black robe came through the air.

"Hi... Seniors, my name is A Fei. From now on, we are all companions, please take care of me..." As soon as the distorted space returned to calm, A Fei screamed eagerly.

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

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

"Jue, A Fei will work with you from now on. Your first mission is to take back the Kong Chen Ring from Orochimaru." Seeing A Fei's funny back, a trace of confusion flashed in the depths of Tendou Pain's eyes.

What on earth is this guy going to do?

Why did he step forward, and his target is still Orochimaru? ?

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

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