After feeling all the chakra of Kakuzu and Loquat Juzo disappear.
Nagato then controlled Pain Tendo and used the Phantom Body Technique again to get in touch with other members of the Akatsuki organization.
By receiving everyone's thoughts waves converted with chakra, everyone's illusions are embodied in a certain cave.
The reason for choosing this scene.
Partly to prevent anyone from eavesdropping on their communications.
On the other hand, it is also for safety reasons.
Soon, the illusions of Pain, Xiaonan, and Zee appeared in the cave first.
Their visions show colorful bright patterns.
It gives people a very mysterious feeling.
It's just that Pain, Xiaonan, and Zetsu are not in a good mood now.
They said nothing, waiting for visions of others to appear.
Besides the three of them, the illusions of Deidara and the Red Sand Scorpion were the first to appear here.
Finally, there was Itachi Uchiha.
As for the illusions of Kakuzu, Hidan, and Loquat Juzo, they have not yet appeared.
"It seems there are a few people missing this time."
The Red Sand Scorpion looked around.
Although due to distance, concentration, etc., the illusions of Akatsuki organization members will appear in order.
But no matter who he is, he will not let Payne go for too long.
After all, the Akatsuki organization can't convince these rebellious ninjas to join with just a few words.
Almost every invitation is accompanied by a battle.
As the leader, Payne has always had the strongest strength.
It is precisely because of this that every arrogant rebel will obey his leader.
But now...
Kakuzu, Hidan, and Loquat Juzo never showed up.
Especially Juzo.
His companion Uchiha Itachi has already arrived here.
Anyone can see that the situation may not be very optimistic.
"Indeed, something happened, right? Hmm!" Deidara couldn't help complaining.
However, he did not regard Kakuzu and Hidan as his companions in his heart.
Even if they really failed their mission and were eliminated.
He won't feel sad either.
If you want to blame, you can only blame them for their own lack of strength.
"Something did happen." Payne glanced at the Red Sand Scorpion and Deidara.
Then he turned to look at Itachi.
Although Hidan, who has an immortal body, is still alive, he cannot contact him.
Payne no longer had much hope for the fate of this immortal duo.
But now that Itachi is back alive, he also wants to find out the cause of Loquat Juzo's death.
Itachi met Pain's gaze.
Then he sighed helplessly.
"Although we successfully sneaked into Konoha and approached the dungeon of the Konoha Police Department."
"But just when we were in contact with the Two-Tailed Jinchuuriki, people from the police department discovered us."
"In order to cover my retreat, Loquat Juzo chose to sacrifice himself."
Itachi's tone seemed very calm.
Although he is very grateful to Juuzang for everything he has done for him, he has always been a man who hides his true feelings deep in his heart.
Even now, describe the death of Loquat Juzo to Pain.
He also acted calmly.
It seems to be telling a trivial matter that is insignificant.
"Really? Juuzang also died." On the other hand, Konan on the side received confirmation from Itachi's mouth, and a trace of despair flashed in his eyes.
For every member who joins the Akatsuki organization, she will recognize the other person from the bottom of her heart.
Think of them as your peers.
Now I heard the news that Loquat Shizang died.
Xiaonan naturally had mixed feelings in her heart.
feel bad.
However, compared to the sacrifices of Kakuzu, Hidan and Loquat Juzo.
Payne cared more about another thing.
"So, even you failed the mission, Itachi."
Pain looked at Itachi and did not blame him for causing Juuzang's death.
Instead, he asked if the second-tailed Jinchuuriki had been captured.
"Yeah." Itachi nodded. He didn't excuse himself or find any objective reasons.
He openly admitted the fact that the mission had failed.
No matter what, the Akatsuki organization is currently short of manpower.
Even if the mission failed, it was impossible for Pain to punish Itachi for this matter.
The most important thing is that Payne is somewhat afraid of Itachi's strength.
"Looking at it this way, those two freaks Kakuzu and Hidan have already failed." Seeing this, the Red Sand Scorpion simply started teasing.
But Itachi and Juzo were invading Konoha, going deep into the tiger's den.
It’s no surprise that it failed.
But Kakuzu and Hidan were the seventh squad who were out on a mission in ambush.
One is a jounin, and there are three genin.
Really bad.
"Although I don't want to admit it, judging from the fact that I can't sense Kakuzu chakra, the mission must have failed."
Payne recognized the Red Sand Scorpion's point of view.
"However, the failure of this operation has nothing to do with me as the leader of the Akatsuki organization."
"I misjudged Konoha's overall strength."
In fact, when Nagato realized that the mission had failed.
There was a storm in his heart.
He never thought that the current Konoha Village would be so amazingly strong.
At the same time, these two failures completely dispelled Nagato's idea of sneaking into Konoha secretly.
In his opinion, if he wanted to snatch those three tailed beasts from Konoha.
There must be a battle with Konoha.
Otherwise, any group of Akatsuki members.
It is difficult to complete the task in Konoha.
Then, after calming down a little, Nagato controlled Pain again and asked about the situation of the Red Sand Scorpion and Deidara.
"We have just arrived at the border of Sunagakure Village."
Hearing this, the Crimson Sand Scorpion told the current situation without thinking.
Although he has left Sand Hidden Village for many years, he still has spies loyal to him in Sand Hidden Village.
Using them, entering Sunagakure Village is not difficult at all.
At the same time, the Crimson Sand Scorpion has also been investigated clearly.
"The current One-Tail Jinchuuriki is the son of the Fourth Kazekage Rasa."
"Still a genin of Sunagakure Village."
"It's not difficult to snatch him away."
The Red Sand Scorpion said lightly.
He was full of confidence in capturing Gaara.
Not only that……
"After I capture the first jinchuriki, Deidara and I will go to Konoha."
"Bring all three jinchūriki back."
When saying these words, the Red Sand Scorpion looked specifically at Itachi.
It was as if he was deliberately provoking Itachi Uchiha.
"Sometimes, being overconfident in one's own strength is not a good thing." Itachi faced the Red Sand Scorpion and reminded him without thinking.
"Oh, really?" Crimson Sand Scorpion didn't take it seriously.
But just when he was tit for tat with Itachi.
As the leader, Payne stopped the two men's behavior in time.
"As one organization, we must unite."
"Especially during this time."
After that, Pain said to Itachi alone: "Anyway, you should be responsible for capturing the other tailed beasts first."
