The remaining fire sword of Konoha

"It's actually him?"

Hearing Yusuke's name from Pain's mouth, Orochimaru couldn't help but said in surprise. Everyone also turned their attention to Orochimaru's shadow.

"Since he is a ninja of Konoha, Orochimaru, you must have a lot of information about him, right?" Kakuzu asked. Since the bounty for the commission was very considerable, Kakuzu was determined to win the commission.

Orochimaru smiled sadly: "Yusuke-kun? He is indeed a ninja that is not easy to deal with. Unfortunately, I don't know what his weaknesses are at the moment, so I can't give the organization too many suggestions."

"Oh? What type of ninja does he belong to?" Kakuzu was very dissatisfied with Orochimaru's answer and continued to ask.

"Yusuke-kun is an expert in Ninjutsu, Genjutsu, and Taijutsu. He can be considered an all-round ninja." Orochimaru said.

"Although the target is from the same village as you, are you flattering him too much?" Hidan obviously didn't believe Orochimaru's words.

Orochimaru ignored Hidan and continued, "Yusuke-kun is good at all kinds of ninjutsu, the most powerful one is fire escape ninjutsu."

"In terms of physical skills, he uses a fire-type ninja swordsmanship. From his nickname of 'Entachi', it is not difficult to guess that this is his strongest ability."

"As for illusions, he is also very proficient. After all, he is from the Uchiha clan."

"In addition, I do not recommend that the members of the organization dispatched this time should dispatch Scorpion. After all, his puppets are relatively fragile and cannot withstand a few fires from Yusuke-kun."

Hearing that Orochimaru actually named him as unfit to participate in this mission, Scorpion felt that he was offended. With a cold snort, Scorpion said in an unhappy tone: "Orochimaru, are you looking down on me?"

Orochimaru smiled and said: "I didn't mean that. It's just that the abilities of ninjas are mutually reinforcing. You just happened to be restrained by Yusuke-kun."

Regarding Orochimaru's explanation, Scorpion was still unhappy: "In the end, you are still looking down on me, so I must participate in this mission and personally turn this guy who you have blown into the sky into a human puppet."

At this time, Kakuzu also asked Payne for help, saying that he must also participate in this mission.

After all, there is a bounty of 150 million in front of him. For Kakuzu, who has a strong obsession with money, he would really be uneasy if he did not personally participate in this task.

Since both Scorpion and Kakuzu voluntarily accepted this commission, Pain decided: "Then this task will be handed over to your two teams, Kakuzu and Scorpion!"

However, regarding Payne's decision, Orochimaru, who was partnered with Scorpion, refused: "Chief, I'm sorry that I refuse to participate in this mission. After all, Yusuke-kun and I have been friends for many years, and it is not convenient for me to take action."

Since the Akatsuki organization operates in teams of two, since becoming Scorpion's partner, Orochimaru has been restricted by Scorpion in everything he does.

For Orochimaru, this mission is an opportunity to get rid of Scorpion temporarily. This is also one of the reasons why Orochimaru named Scorpion, hoping that the provoked Scorpion can go and participate in the mission to encircle and kill Yusuke.

Payne agreed to Orochimaru's request and ordered Juuzang Loquat to supplement Orochimaru's position.

However, considering that Orochimaru and the target were old acquaintances, Payne also warned Orochimaru not to leak the mission information.

This commission to assassinate Yusuke is naturally an important part of Danzo's "Uchiha Destruction Plan". Since getting on the line with Obito during the Nine-Tails Incident more than three years ago, Danzo has not forgotten Obito, a powerful collaborator.

After Obito received Danzo's plan to 'destroy the Uchiha clan', he immediately expressed his willingness to cooperate, but the prerequisite for cooperation was to take away half of the Uchiha clan's Sharingan. After some consideration, Danzo also accepted the condition proposed by Obito.

Both Obito and Danzo are wary of Yusuke's strength. Obito decided to pull the strings himself and handed Yusuke over to the Akatsuki organization by entrusting a task.

However, in order to ensure a one-hit kill, the Akatsuki organization needs to dispatch two groups of official members, and Danzo must also pay a high additional fee.

A dragnet has been laid out against Yusuke, but Yusuke, who is the person involved, does not know yet.

At this time, Yusuke was receiving a mission in the Hokage Building.

"Yusuke, this is a reconnaissance mission. Recently, a reconnaissance ninja reported that the Kingdom of Rain discovered a mysterious organization. The scope of activities of this organization's members is very close to the border of our Kingdom of Fire."

"Since the opponent's strength is unknown, I want to find a capable Jonin to investigate. You are the best candidate."

The Third Hokage looked at Yusuke in front of him and said.

Yusuke nodded and accepted the order: "I understand, when will the mission begin."

Regarding the task proposed by the third generation, although Yusuke's face did not change at all, he was very confused in his heart.

"Could it be that Konoha noticed the Akatsuki organization in advance?" Yusuke thought secretly in his heart.

In the original work, it was several years before Konoha noticed the Akatsuki organization. That is, after Itachi defected to Konoha Village and joined the Akatsuki organization, he gave some information about the Akatsuki organization to the third generation.

At this time, Yusuke only thought that the third generation had obtained the intelligence of the Akatsuki organization in advance for some reason, and he wanted to set out to find out the reality of the Akatsuki organization. But he didn't expect that this would be a trap specifically targeted at him.

"The mission starts tomorrow, so you can prepare well. In addition, there is a reconnaissance ninja accompanying you this time." The third generation said calmly.

At this time, a ninja who had been standing nearby took a step forward and introduced himself to Yusuke.

In the introduction of this ninja, his name is Inada Shin, a detective ninja, and it was he who accidentally discovered the movements of this mysterious organization.

In this mission, the ninja named Inada Shin will serve as Yusuke's assistant to cooperate with Yusuke in conducting a more in-depth investigation.

After receiving the mission, Yusuke went back and made some simple preparations. Early the next morning, he and Inada Shen gathered at the exit of the village and set off in the direction of Yuyin Village.

It's also a few days' journey from Konoha Village to the border of Fire Country. While rushing on the road, Yusuke inquired about the information about this mission from Inada Shin.

However, in the process of understanding, Yusuke discovered that the information given by Inada Shin was completely inconsistent with the actual situation of the Akatsuki organization.

"Are there any other organizations operating near Yu Ninja Village?"

Yusuke felt very strange in his heart, but he didn't pay too much attention. After all, the ninja world is so big, it's normal for there to be several organizations that you don't know about.

A few days later, the two arrived at the border of the Country of Fire and prepared to sneak into the Country of Rain.

At this time, Inada Shin, who was beside Yusuke, turned to Yusuke and smiled slightly: "After passing the forest in front, we will reach the Land of Rain. We also need to make some disguises."

Originally, there was nothing wrong with Inada Shin's smile, but Yusuke felt vaguely that it felt very fake. At this moment, Yusuke couldn't help but think of the smile of Sai, a member of the Root Organization in the original work.

In the past few days, Yusuke has discovered something is wrong with Inada Shin. It's not that there is anything wrong with him, but that his performance is too perfect.

During the conversation, Inada Shin had almost no emotional fluctuations that a normal person should have, making him feel like an emotionless robot.

"Root tissue!"

Yusuke's heart trembled, and he couldn't help but think of such a possibility.
