The majestic leader of the "Akatsuki" organization comes and goes just as quickly. In the face of the established power of the Samsara Eye, a few tricks can't make a difference at all.
After Tiandao and Hungry Ghost Dao left, Xiaonan and Red Sand Scorpion still wanted to explore the surrounding environment. Although the people of "Zhahe Zhong" had already escaped, the things they could not take away with them were not completely worthless, but None of this is useful to the Akatsuki organization.
The purpose of coming here to test is to select available helpers and take advantage of the well-developed organization for your own use.
The core of the "Akatsuki" organization is in the Kingdom of Rain, and there are many tentacles spread throughout the ninja world. There are more than one or two peripheral forces like the "Zahe Zhong".
At first, Xiaonan and Red Sand Scorpion did not take this trip seriously, but the development of things was unexpected.
Nothing could be seen from what was exposed outside. After careful inspection, Xiao Nan and Red Sand Scorpion were surprised to find that this ghost place actually had its own cave underground.
In the hilly area near the sea, there are many underground river corridors and many naturally formed caves. Some of them have been widened and transformed, and they have been connected in series to form a cluster of underground cities connected by waterways.
Both of them are not mediocre people without knowledge. They obtained a lot of valuable information from the traces of the base that was completely destroyed and all the key things were taken away.
In the cave about ten meters deep underground, the Red Sand Scorpion observed the underground river that passed through a corner. The water flow was not very fast, forming a small deep pool. In addition to some cave insects, there were also blind fish in the water from time to time. , blind shrimp and other creatures that have adapted to the dark environment. Not only that, but there are also very few fish fry, seaweed, etc. that look like they are coming from the outside.
Suddenly, the Red Sand Scorpion reacted.
"not good."
As he spoke, the genius puppet master sped up and ran outside, arriving at the place where the battle had just taken place. The traces of being bulldozed by the law of heaven were still there, but something was missing.
Xiaonan, who followed him in confusion, glanced around and understood.
"Being fooled."
The sea monster defeated by Nagato had some inconspicuous sea fish bound in its body intentionally or unintentionally, some big and some small. No one in the "Akatsuki" organization paid attention to these "unlucky guys" who were involved.
Tiandao controlled gravity and plowed through part of the sea surface and underwater. The huge position affected many marine creatures. After the battle was over, there were several large fish lying on their backs on the water with their snow-white bellies exposed. I don't know if he is dead or fainted.
When Nagato controlled the Heavenly Path and the Hungry Ghost Path to leave, and Konan and Nagato turned their attention elsewhere, the "big fish" that had lost its life breath turned over, flicked its tail, and sank to the bottom of the sea. , and left quietly.
"Should have thought of it earlier."
It is not that Xiaonan, who has experienced many battles, has never lost, but like today, it is the first time that he has been played by others from the beginning to the end.
The source of the so-called "sea monster" that supports its huge strength cannot be too far away. Xiaonan and the Red Sand Scorpion only sensed the existence of some suspicious characters on the seabed. They did not expect that they were wandering in the main body of Haifang, blatantly placed in front of them. The "sea fish" in front of you is the core that controls the "sea monster".
"That's not a transformation technique. There's no disguise. I guarantee it with my reputation. It's a real fish, but..."
The Red Sand Scorpion asserted categorically,
"That is not a psychic beast, but a ninja. Otherwise, it would be impossible to use such a powerful force away from the main messenger..."
"Really can not?"
Xiaonan was a little confused.
The red sand scorpion, which can make powerful ninjas into human puppets, must be far beyond the ability to "see people". However, there are so many miracles in the field of ninjutsu. Maybe there are unknown secret techniques that can surpass Transmits large amounts of chakra remotely.
"Theoretically, it's possible. However, such a big man can make us helpless for a time, and we have to take action from the leader to successfully capture it. Is there really such a terrifying person in the ninja world?"
The Red Sand Scorpion responded,
"I'm afraid only Senju Hashirama, Uchiha Madara, and the leader himself can do it. Therefore, there must be a chakra source here, or at least a large 'relay station'. Now it seems that those cruising 'sea monsters' The 'big fish' in the body seems to have been swimming in a certain rhythm. If you guessed correctly, it is a kind of sacrificial psychic that matches the ritual..."
"Similar to a psychic?"
"It's a bit like it, but more sophisticated. Wild 'psychics', without special training, are just trash fish that rely on their bodies to make a living. Those just now..."
After recalling it carefully, the Red Sand Scorpion said after careful consideration,
"It's a bit similar to the ascetic chanting I saw in the forbidden land of the Kingdom of Wind before. It's a very advanced 'Shinto' genre. I didn't expect that such a ghost place has such an ancient inheritance."
"Um?"
Xiaonan landed her feet on the water, bent down, and gently picked up the broken fish scales floating on the water.
"Isn't this...not lost?"
The Crimson Sand Scorpion shook his head, moved his stiff neck again, and replied,
"There should still be some documents about the names of the five major kingdoms, such as the Kingdom of Demons and the Kingdom of Tang, and the five major ninja villages have also been studied to some extent."
"In other words, the backers behind the 'Zahe Zhong' can basically target the five major countries and the five major ninja villages?"
"Most of the Senju, Uchiha, Hinata and other wealthy families also have this ability."
Red Sand Scorpion added,
"In the Ninja World War, this method is occasionally used in preset ambush traps. Because it is too complicated, it cannot be used in regular combat."
No matter what, after today's accident, Xiaonan and the Scorpion of Red Sand locked several suspicious targets, among which the Uchiha family was the most suspicious.
At the same time, Furugi Fusui, who was enjoying a leisurely vacation in the palace near Konoha Village, wiped the sweat from his forehead and let out a long sigh of relief.
"If I wasn't careful, the 'sub-base' was almost stolen. Fortunately, Tatsumi and Kiran reacted quickly enough, otherwise they would have been ruined."
Losing the pseudo-Kyuubi Jinchuuriki and a few pairs of immature Sharingan is a trivial matter, but if the talents he has worked so hard to cultivate and his confidants who know the secret are caught, it will be a big loss.
Once the "Akatsuki" organization becomes aware of the Gushan family's behind-the-scenes arrangements, many things will become difficult to handle.
I was really lucky to have escaped with almost no injuries.
A dozen elite mermaids were injured, but they were not fatal and needed time to recuperate. There were also more than twenty carefully selected "death prisoners" who were consumed as sacrifices before they could contribute to the great research of all mankind. .
The loss of money and materials is a trivial matter, even if the "foundation" of the Kingdom of Sichuan is lost, it doesn't matter. The greatness has turned from bright to dark, and I have changed my "vest" to continue my activities. The names of "Za He Zhong" cannot be used, Yin He Zhong, Jia He There's not much difference between them.
"The forces under your command, as they get older, become more involved in ninja activities, it will be a matter of time before other forces come to your door."
Otsutsuki Kaguya, who had been observing, commented casually,
"A mouse is hiding in the grass, and it is possible to make a fortune in silence. Now you are considered an elephant, or at least a very oppressive rhinoceros. The 'bush' in the ninja world is so high, and you are almost there. Can’t hide it anymore.”
If Gushan Bushui hadn't dispersed his direct forces early and arranged them in several countries, he might have been discovered long ago.
To put it bluntly, what happened this time was that the "Zhezhong" caused too much noise in the Kingdom of Sichuan, and it attracted the attention of the "Akatsuki" organization that was close to Chichi. It is not a difficult thing to understand.
"It's troublesome."
Gu Shanbu Shui sighed worriedly,
"I can't find another decent 'mask' in the ninja world. I'm going to hide it for a few more years. My current strength is not good enough."
Only the Star Ninja Village and the Fuma Clan, as well as the Country of Uzumaki and Uzushio Village, are on the stage.
Both of them have little background and cannot cover arms and legs as thick as Gushan Bushui.
The time for Gushan's water divination to work is still too short, not enough to pierce his roots deeper, more concealed and more stable.
If it weren't for the "Second Hand Castration Version" secret skill that Otsutsuki Kaguya spent a lot of effort to obtain, "Zagazhong" would have been unable to save it long ago.
With this lesson learned, Gu Shan Bu Shui has planned to make the "Za He Zhong" be more careful in their actions and not to provoke people who are temporarily difficult to offend.
…
One day later, Uchiha Itachi, who received the news from the leader of the "Akatsuki" organization, was also puzzled by what happened in Kawanoguni.
There are countless sharingans in the entire ninja world, and the possibility of two three-magatama sharingans suddenly appearing is extremely small.
This talented ninja, who is still very young, is also wondering whether his father has some actions that he has hidden even from his own son.
It stands to reason that since serving as a bridge of communication between the family and the Leaf Village, Uchiha Itachi has always regarded monitoring abnormal behavior as a top priority. It is possible to send people away on a large scale and survive anonymously. Even if it is difficult, it can still be done with the strength of the Uchiha family.
However, it is impossible for clan members to appear out of thin air or disappear inexplicably. So far, no tricks have been found.
In fact, Uchiha Itachi could be sure that even the Third Hokage and Hiruzen Sarutobi didn't know, otherwise, he wouldn't have given him such an order on the eve of leaving.
Uchiha Itachi, who had been thinking about several possibilities but had no clue, once thought of going to Kawa no Kuni to catch the "Zagazhong" who slipped through the net and check their three magatama writings. Where does the chakra eye come from.
Just when he was worrying about gains and losses, the leader of the "Akatsuki" organization issued an order again, asking Uchiha Itachi to go to the Kingdom of Earth. There are several strong formal members there to replace him. If possible, absorb one or two backbones, and by the way, Go to Iwagakure to talk about the big business of being a war agent between several nearby small countries.

As the "Akatsuki" organization became active, its expenses increased. The "Akatsuki" organization also held meetings to intervene in disputes in the ninja world to earn rewards.
Uchiha Itachi, who had no choice but to put down his trip to Kawa no Kuni and headed northwest, did not know that Orochimaru, another man who was obsessed with the Sharingan, also learned some information about Kawa no Kuni through special channels.
Orochimaru had known about the news of the mysterious Sharingan owner's appearance a long time ago.
On the night when the Uchiha family was exterminated, Kong, the pseudo-Jinchuuriki of the Nine-Tails with the three Magatama Sharingan, appeared in front of Orochimaru. If it weren't for the inability to do anything at that time, that mysterious man would have been moved to the test bed long ago. By the way, it was made into a specimen.
Later, Orochimaru also tracked down the whereabouts of the pseudo-Nine-Tailed Jinchuuriki, but with no results, so he had to put it down for the time being. He did not expect to get an unexpected harvest at this time.
"Za Hezhong? It seems that we have dealt with him before..."
Although the large and small wandering ninja organizations and rebel ninjas in the ninja world have a competitive relationship, they generally do not have any deep hatred. It is not surprising that they occasionally cooperate.
Because what happened in Kawakuni, there were many fallacies in the process of spreading. Orochimaru didn't know the specific situation, but he instinctively judged that this incident was worth paying attention to.
"Going to see the Country of Sichuan?"
The thought just came up and was dismissed by Orochimaru.
Orochimaru, who had been tricked by the "Konoha Ninja" not long ago and whose spirit and soul had been polluted, did not want to risk going out at this time.
Yindu, who had been greatly strengthened by the power of the Sharingan, directly invaded the depths of Orochimaru's soul, turning Yamato Orochi's spiritual obsession into a Hydra. That weird and dirty chakra aura is not a power that should appear normally at all. Even so, Orochimaru was not afraid.
"Let Tianzhi and those 'little' toys he made go look for it. On the vast sea, the possibility of 'Zha He Zhong' escaping is extremely high."
After all, this is just a narrow encounter, which tests the ability of decision-making and adaptability. So far, most of the talented retainers of the Gushan family have not disappointed Gushan Bushui.
Since there has never been a powerful master of the "Zahe Zhong", it would be unwise to approach the wandering ninja organization hidden in the mist.
Who knows if those people are interested in cutting off Orochimaru's head and collecting the reward from the underground bounty house?
Soon, the order issued by Orochimaru was conveyed to Tenchi, who was still nominally a subordinate of Orochimaru.
With a strange look on his face, Tianzhi looked at the thin man with medium-long light blue hair in front of him after reading the letter in his hand several times.
"I was asked to find you, do you think it was a coincidence?"
"Oh? Our Lord Tenchi, wants to capture us and go to Orochimaru to collect the reward?"
"how come?"
Tianzhi sneered disdainfully,
"What Orochimaru-sama needs is not a loser who can only make small reports, but an elite who can solve real problems and take charge of his own affairs. Even if I catch your handle and hand it over to Orochimaru-sama, I estimate that after a while, I will be forgotten."
The lack of irreplaceable talents and abilities is Tianzhi's fatal injury in Orochimaru's mind. Otherwise, a batch of semi-abandoned projects would not be handed over to Tianzhi for disposal at will.
"Your loyalty is not pure at all?"
If he had received such a comment in the past, Tianzhi would definitely have become angry. After working for Gushan Bushui for so long, he had thought about some things.
"I didn't actually betray Lord Orochimaru, I just learned how to flexibly adjust my moral bottom line."
