About ten years ago.
Yahiko, Nagato, and Konan, who had suffered from the war, united together.
Founded the [Xiao] organization.
Its original purpose was to bring peace to its country and village.
However, during the three battles eight years ago.
Danzo conspired with Hanzo from [Ame Hidden Village] and forced Yahiko to death.
At this point, after feeling the heartbreaking pain, Nagato's temperament changed drastically.
He still yearns for peace.
But he also believes that on the road to peace, the whole world will inevitably feel pain again.
An unprecedented, heartbreaking pain!
Only in this way can the world realize the value of peace.
This is also the reason why he is willing to cooperate with Obito to collect tailed beasts and create the ultimate forbidden technique.
In his opinion.
Only by mastering the power of the Ten-Tails, surpassing the tailed beasts and overriding the entire ninja world.
You can easily make the whole world feel severe pain!
By then, with the 'ultimate nuclear weapon' in hand, he can turn the world into a utopian paradise controlled by 'pain and fear'.
That kind of 'utopian paradise' may not be the most perfect, but it will definitely be better than the current ninja world.
At least, wars will no longer break out randomly.
There won’t be so many separations between life and death...
It's a pity that although his idea is good.
But he didn't have the strength and mind to match his desire.
In short, it’s just not dark enough!
Compete with the cunning Black Zetsu, the scheming Madara, the unscrupulous Obito... these old scheming men.
Nagato is indeed as pure as a white lotus.
He was easily tricked and taken advantage of.
Otherwise, he would not be easily defeated by Naruto's 'Belten Mouth' in the end.
If it had been Black Zetsu or Madara, Naruto might have started breathing loudly without even starting to use his 'Belten Mouth'.
…
At this moment.
In the stone room of an underground base meeting organized by [Xiao].
Nagato, who controls the body of Tendo Payne, also uses the [Phantom Lantern Body Technique] to bring together the illusions of members of the [Akatsuki] organization from far away.
Get ready for a meeting.
In fact, in the ten years since the establishment of the [Akatsuki] organization, many ninjas have joined it.
From the early days when Yahiko founded Akatsuki, a group of ninjas followed him. Although the strength of these members varies, there are still more than ten or twenty people.
Jiuzuke, Daibutsu, etc. are all representatives among them.
Later, Yahiko died, and Nagato and Konan took over the Akatsuki organization.
Then began to gradually streamline the staff.
They no longer deliberately recruit ninjas from [Ame Hidden Village], but are more inclined to accept rebellious ninjas from various villages.
Of course, in the early days, [Xiao] didn’t have a great reputation.
The rebel ninja members recruited are also all kinds of strange.
Genin, chunin, jounin...all of them.
For example, Kakuzu, Loquat Juzo, etc., have changed several teammates one after another.
Until now, relying on the high death rate in dangerous missions, those miscellaneous soldiers have been gradually filtered out.
There are only 9 people left: Pain, Konan, Obito, Zetsu, Scorpion, Kakuzu, Loquat Juzo, Orochimaru and the unknown rough guy.
…
"Chief, why is there a sudden meeting?"
"Isn't there still more than a month before the scheduled regular meeting?"
"Are there new people joining? Are you going to arrange teammates for me?"
"Performing a mission alone is a bit boring!"
Loquat Juzo, who has a carefree personality, was the first to complain.
As one of the first "Seven Ninja Swordsmen" in [Mist Hidden Village], he is the first user of the Broken Sword and the Beheading Sword.
Even after defecting, his bloody name of wielding a beheading sword and making the battlefield covered with blood is still famous in all countries.
However, in fact, this is a tough guy who values love.
It was precisely because of his optimism about his strength that Obito controlled the fourth generation Mizukage Yagura before, and repeatedly put pressure on him, forcing him to defect from [Kirigakure Village].
As a result, he was forced to join the [Akatsuki] organization.
Payne ignored Loquat Juuzang's complaints, and still spoke with a cold tone and an imposing voice:
"There is only one purpose for calling you all here."
"Be prepared to discuss whether to accept an important mission."
"What mission?"
Xie asked in a hoarse voice, very cooperatively.
At the same time, other members of the organization also became somewhat interested.
After all, it must not be an easy task for the leader to take it so seriously and call all members for a meeting!
Payne didn't hesitate and said bluntly:
"Sniper kill the Sandaime Hokage: Sarutobi Hiruzen!"
Upon hearing such an exciting mission, all the members of the Akatsuki organization were shocked.
What kind of important task is this?
This is simply a quest for death!
The Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, is the leader of Konoha, the leader of the five hidden villages, and is known as the "Professor of Ninjutsu"!
Snipe Naruto!
This is not an S-rank mission at all.
To say it is an SSS mission is to underestimate it!
Even the other four hidden villages would not dare to take on such a crazy mission.
What's more, his own is just a small rebel organization?
Is this going to start another ninja war?
"Is it a mission from [Iwagakure Village]?"
On the right, Orochimaru's shadow chuckled and pointed directly at the path.
"good."
"Everyone should have heard about it."
"More than half a month ago, another war broke out between [Iwagakure] and [Konoha]."
"[Iwagakure Village] suffered serious losses. A large number of Iwagakure ninjas, including Akatsuki, a disciple of the third Tsuchikage, were killed..."
"Iwagakure must hate Konoha, this should be the reason..."
Payne did not hide it and admitted it generously.
For a rebellious ninja organization like [Akatsuki] lurking in the underground world.
The more chaotic the ninja world is, the better, and the more violent the fighting, the better.
This way.
Only in this way can conflicts among all parties be intensified and more tasks brought about.
This allows your organization to earn more rewards and accumulate more funds.
"Sniping Naruto is very dangerous. It does not comply with the organization's regulations and may expose the entire [Akatsuki]."
"From a profit perspective, this is not cost-effective..."
Everyone on the side spoke.
Back then, he had sniped and killed the first Hokage alone.
That's a miserable defeat!
If he hadn't been merciful, he would have died long ago.
Therefore, it is inevitable that he will have some psychological shadow.
He didn't want to stop the Hokage anymore.
Pain paused and looked at Kakuzu.
He only responded:
"Iwayin Village is very willing to spend money..."
Hearing this, Kakuzu immediately shut up and stopped objecting.
No wonder even the usually steady leader is moved. It seems that Iwagakure Village has spent a lot of money this time!
What?
Is it dangerous to snipe Naruto?
As long as the money is in place, any danger can be overcome!
You can even kill Asma easily and get tens of millions more!
…
However, except for Payne and others who are inclined to take over this task.
There are still a few people who hold objections.
"Yeah! Didn't I say that Iwagakure Village was defeated by Konoha?"
"Do they still have money?"
"Don't let them end up unable to pay and make us work in vain!"
Hei Jue asked in a falsetto voice, angrily.
Anyway, it didn’t regard Payne as its true leader.
And, for him. Exposing [Xiao]’s true identity too early is not a good thing.
It will only further affect his 'plan to save his mother'!
"This is not a problem."
"No one can be in debt with me!"
Payne responded with great confidence.
If Iwagakure really dared to do it for free in his own place.
He doesn't mind if he goes to [Iwagakure Village] and releases [Super Shinra Tenzheng], so that [Iwagakure Village] can feel the pain in advance!
Seeing this, Black Zetsu couldn't continue to refute, so he could only gesture towards Obito next to him.
He motioned for him to come forward and object.
At this moment, Obito didn't care at all whether he accepted this mission or not.
Although, he also disliked that old man from the third generation. He also wanted to find an opportunity to make the Sandaime, who did nothing, pay the price for Lin's tragic death.
But at this stage, he is most urgent.
Still thinking about how to encourage everyone to attack [Yanyin Village] first! Go strangle that nasty Uchiha brat!
