On the ten fingers of the heretic demon statue, there are illusory figures standing at this time.
These illusory figures all have one thing in common, that is, they are wearing black windbreakers embroidered with red clouds.
And these illusory figures all come from the same organization - Xiao.
At this time, the Akatsuki organization was having a meeting, discussing recent matters closely related to them, that is, the first Hokage's continuous capture of rebellious ninjas.
The reason for the discussion is not only because they are all traitorous ninjas, but also because a member of the Akatsuki organization has been captured alive by the first Hokage and is being imprisoned in Konoha Village.
This member is codenamed 'Three' and is Kakuzu's partner.
The member codenamed 'Zero', that is, Payne, the current leader of the Akatsuki organization, looked at Kakuzu at this time and asked, "Kita, should you explain why San was captured alive by the first Hokage?"
Hearing this, Kakuzu responded nonchalantly, "Why else, is it because he is too weak?"
Hearing this, Pain looked slightly stunned and said again, "That's not what I'm asking. What I'm asking is why, as a partner, you escaped when he was fighting the First Hokage?"
Hearing this, Kakuzu said directly, "Hey, hey, Zero, don't forget, that is the first Hokage, who is known as the God of the Ninja World!"
"If I come along, I'm afraid I will be captured alive by him too."
"Besides, I don't call it escape, it should be called stopping the loss in time."
As he said that, Kakuzu seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly changed the topic and said, "By the way, there is a new member of the organization. His name is Zhu."
"It just so happens that my partner is gone, so let him be my new partner!"
Zhu, that is, Itachi Uchiha, his eyes narrowed slightly after hearing Kakuzu's words.
That's right, Uchiha Itachi at this stage has joined the Akatsuki organization and obtained the codename 'Zhu'. All this is as predicted by Chen Anxia.
Therefore, Uchiha Itachi is more willing to believe in Chen Anxia's precognitive ability.
As for Kakuzu's proposal, Uchiha Itachi said directly, "I refuse. I don't want to be a partner with someone who will give up his companions."
The current Uchiha Itachi has just joined the Akatsuki organization and does not know the members of the organization, but he also knows that his partner is the teammate who acts with him.
Therefore, Uchiha Itachi would not want to give his back to someone like Kakuzu who could throw away his companions at any time.
After being rejected by Uchiha Itachi, Kakuzu narrowed his eyes slightly and said in a cold voice, "Interesting, kid, I will remember you."
This slight threat was ignored by Uchiha Itachi.
Seeing this, Payne took the initiative and said, "Let's not mention the partner issue for now. We have to discuss now whether we should go to Konoha to rescue San."
As soon as Pain said this, he was opposed by Kakuzu, "San is a waste. I still don't understand how he can join Akatsuki, so I object."
With that said, Kakuzu's illusory figure disappeared directly, obviously not wanting to join the discussion on this topic.
Seeing this, Zetsu, who had been silent all this time, couldn't help but let out a strange laugh, and said, "I think whether we save San or not, we need to pay close attention to Konoha."
"Konoha has taken too many actions recently. First, the death of the third generation, then the resurrection of the first and second generations, and then the first generation capturing rebellious ninja everywhere."
"There must be some major plan behind this series of actions, and it may conflict with our plan."
Hearing this, Xiaonan also said, "I agree. Konoha's recent frequent actions are indeed too abnormal and deserve investigation and attention."
No one else had a problem with it either.
When Pain saw this, he said to Zetsu, "Zetsu, I'll leave the task of exploring Konoha to you, and collect information on Shisan by the way."
Because of his own abilities, he is responsible for reconnaissance and intelligence gathering in the Akatsuki organization.
Therefore, there was no resistance to the mission assigned by Pain. The illusory figure dissipated directly and began to rush towards Konoha.
...
In the woods outside Konoha Village.
Kabuto Yakushi, who was dressed as an ANBU, looked up at the hanging moon, looking a little anxious and uneasy.
Because Yakushi Kabuto has successfully contacted Orochimaru.
It's just that Orochimaru is still wary of Yakushi Kabuto at this stage, so that Yakushi Kabuto can't find Orochimaru's base.
With no other choice, Yakushi Kabuto decided to make a desperate move and successfully lured Orochimaru out with false information, that is, the huge secret of Konoha's operation.
However, although Kabuto Yakushi lured Orochimaru out, he was unable to contact Chen Anxia.
Kabuto Yakushi knew the danger of Orochimaru and the consequences of deceiving him.
Therefore, Yakushi Kabuto has made up his mind to use his shadow clone to contact Orochimaru. If Chen Anxia never shows up, and if the matter is revealed, he will immediately cut off all contact with Orochimaru and hide himself.
Time gradually passed, and the time agreed with Orochimaru was getting closer and closer.
Finally, Orochimaru appeared in front of Yakushi Kabuto's shadow clone.
Seeing this, Yakushi Kabuto's shadow clone's expression darkened.
Just when Yakushi Kabuto's shadow clone was about to say something, Orochimaru turned his gaze to his side and said, "Kabuto, you didn't tell me that you brought others with you."
Yakushi Kabuto's shadow clone was stunned when he heard this, and then suddenly looked to his side as if he sensed something.
Chen Anxia appeared here at some unknown time and was looking at Orochimaru with interest.
To be more precise, it is looking at Orochimaru's data flow through the Eye of Root.
After Yakushi Kabuto's shadow clone reacted, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said to Chen Anxia, "I have done what I promised you. I hope you will not forget your promise."
With that said, Yakushi Kabuto's shadow clone turned into a puff of smoke and disappeared without a trace.
Seeing this, Orochimaru couldn't help but smile and said, "Interesting, really interesting."
"Chen Anxia, can I know how you persuaded Kabuto to betray me?"
Hearing this, Chen Anxia smiled slightly and replied, "I said, I can help him reincarnate as a pharmacist, Nonoyu."
When Orochimaru heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, then his eyes narrowed like a snake and asked, "Then do I know why you want to see me?"
Regarding this, Chen Anxia did not hide it, and said directly, "There are currently twenty-three living experimental subjects with Senju Hashirama cells in your base, and I need two of them."
Chen Anxia's words made Orochimaru look shocked, and his heart was even more disturbed.
Even within his own base, information about experimental subjects is kept confidential, so how did Chen Anxia know such an accurate number?
Then, Orochimaru didn't know what he was thinking, he couldn't help showing a snake-like expression, and said, "Okay, but you need to go to my base to pick it up in person."
Hearing this, Chen Anxia looked relaxed and responded with a smile, "Of course."
