"As expected of Itachi,"
"Even the nearly perfect Four-Tails Jinchuuriki is no match for your Mangekyō Sharingan."
There was a slightly excited admiration in the empty surroundings.
Just looking around, except for a miserable old man who lost his will and collapsed on the ground, there seemed to be only a young man wearing a red cloud windbreaker standing quietly.
However, through the description of the words, the identities of the two people can be easily revealed.
But the strange thing is that the guy who praised him seemed to come from a strange void. There was no trace of the existence of the third carbon-based life form in the entire scene!
Hearing this,
Uchiha Itachi did not respond, and still maintained his standing posture, as if he was waiting for something.
As far as the eye can see, there are only rugged rocks and a terrifying scar on the surface!
It seems to have been eroded by the sudden arrival of magma, and the smell of sulfur still lingers in the entire area.
And in the short gap after the battle, a slight energy fluctuation quietly twisted in the void, and then a man wearing a swirling mask appeared in the field of vision.
During this time, the young man standing on the spot did not move at all. He only lowered his eyes slightly when the special space energy surged.
"Thank you, Itachi."
"This time I went deep into the Kingdom of Earth alone to capture the Four-Tails. Presumably those guys in the organization won't say anything casually anymore."
Uchiha Obito, who was standing in this messy place, did not give priority to the old purple who collapsed on the ground and smelled of burnt food. Instead, he looked at the young man in his field of vision and said meaningfully.
At the moment,
The atmosphere within the Akatsuki organization is not good, and there is a tendency to split several small groups.
First is Xiaonan,
According to Bai Jue's surveillance, this girl has been secretly investigating something in recent years, and what she has done seems to be intentionally or unintentionally guarding Jue and herself.
This is definitely not a good phenomenon.
Because Nagato, the apparent leader of the Akatsuki organization, is not completely under his control.
Xiaonan's will is likely to affect the other party's judgment and decision-making.
The second is internal contradictions.
For example, Uchiha Itachi and Deidara are naturally at odds with each other, Scorpio and Deidara have different artistic views, and so on.
It would be okay if it were placed during the mission, but due to the instability of the entire external environment in the past two years, the members of the Akatsuki organization were basically stationed at the headquarters to recuperate, which further led to more or less conflicts among these unruly generations. There were some provocations and frictions.
Of course, the biggest headache was Itachi Uchiha.
No one in the entire organization is willing to approach him!
Including the leader Nagato, including Hidan who is always clamoring to preach.
One of the reasons is due to their respective personalities. After all, strong people are solitary and do not obey anyone.
But the more important reason is the incident that started three years ago:
Kisame Inigaki, who was seriously injured, disappeared mysteriously! !
Originally, this matter could be considered as an invasion of foreign enemies, but the guy who cooperated with it happened to be Uchiha Itachi, which is very thought-provoking.
Looking back on history, just after this guy entered the Akatsuki organization, Orochimaru, as a senior, chose to defect without saying a word.
Although the reason given was that the latter wanted to take away the Sharingan belonging to Uchiha Itachi, in the final analysis, this was just Itachi's one-sided statement, and no one witnessed the confrontation.
No one knows the real reason or the real situation.
Maybe Orochimaru felt threatened by Itachi, so he chose to escape in advance to protect himself?
As for why they didn't become suspicious in the first place, it was because doing such a thing was completely in line with that smelly snake's behavior.
Now that I think about it seriously, it’s a little scary to think about it.
And the death of Loquat Juzo!
This incident is also full of doubts.
Because the reason Uchiha Itachi gave was that he met the fourth generation Mizukage, Goju Yagura. The former died in order to protect himself from the half-tailed beast Mizukage.
This incident did not attract any attention at the time. If you die, you will die. It can only prove the lack of strength of this guy, and then you can just look for companions again.
After all, it is normal for the Akatsuki organization to suffer injuries and even death. For example, before Kakuzu formed a partner with Hidan, he had caused the death of an unknown number of his companions during his actions.
But now think about it carefully, is it so easy for Loquat Juuzang, who came out of the blood mist, to bond with his new teammates and die for them?
Maybe he does have a true temperament.
But there is another possibility,
It was Uchiha Itachi, a dangerous guy, who used his Sharingan to control his will, control his actions, and finally used his companion's body to withstand the attack from the Fourth Mizukage!
Don't say it's impossible!
You know, that guy is an extremist who can attack his own family and his parents! !
If a teammate who has no blood relationship with him dies, he dies.
Finally, it’s about the disappearance of the dried persimmon Kisame.
Until now, Zetsu and Obito have not been able to find any traces of information about each other. The weirdo from Kirigakure Village seems to have disappeared out of thin air, and there is no trace of his existence in the world.
However, he still locked onto two possible target areas:
One is in Kirigakure Village.
There have definitely been major changes in Kirigakure Village in recent years. As soon as you step into the land that was once covered with blood, you will feel a sense of solemnity.
Not only the entire Kingdom of Water is in seclusion, but even the ninjas in the entire Kirigakure Village are huddled in the village and rarely go out on missions.
During this period, Obito carefully sneaked into the village, captured several Kirigakure ninjas with ease, and forcibly searched for the memories in their minds.
However, little useful information was obtained.
Even one of the Jonin-level existences knew only that the recent incident was related to the Fourth Generation Mizukage-sama.
And in this regard, the upper management has done a very good job of keeping secrets. They were probably frightened by the dark events in the past.
But even so, he still found a key point:
Terumi Mei!
She is the leader of the younger generation in Kirigakure Village, and has the rare distinction of being a double-blood successor.
This is the only resonance point Obito found when he was exploring the memories of the Kirigakure ninjas. Those guys all cared about this name and even respected it.
However, just when he wanted to explore that strange woman in person to see if he could find any useful information.
The traces of his arrival were discovered by the ninjas of Kirigakure Village.
This is definitely not because he accidentally exposed any flaws before.
It's because the 'corpse disposal team' who have absolute attainments in special secret techniques have developed new secret techniques in the past three years.
A secret technique for those controlled by illusions.
During the self-examination without any rules, they discovered that the ninjas in the village had traces of genjutsu being used on them, and their little tricks reserved for them were touched.
Such an unexpected situation forced him to abandon his plan to continue exploring.
The second guess point is in Konoha.
But after infiltrating, he still couldn't get any useful information.
This is not to say that the ninjas of Konoha have also developed early warning ninjutsu similar to Kirigakure, but that they have increased their control over the village through the training of the barrier class and real-time monitoring.
Those thin and secret early warning barriers and monitoring networks, like spider webs, directly covered the entire Konoha, three layers inside and three outside.
Especially near Konoha ANBU, the Hokage Building, important research institutes and the Uchiha clan's clan, the numerous intertwined barriers are like several layers of invisible blankets spread in the void, as impregnable as stone.
Perhaps the only thing that made those high-level officials in Konoha feel a little lacking was probably the failure to install surveillance equipment in the Uchiha clan.
Such precautions directly make Obito's infiltration difficult.
After all, although space ninjutsu is weird, it is not unique to one person. The former second- and fourth-generation Hokages all had certain attainments in this aspect.
The current Sandaime is also known as the professor of ninjutsu. Even if he cannot use his arms and fingers to perform space ninjutsu, he has developed some early warning structures to prevent space ninjutsu based on the space knowledge passed down by the second generation and the fourth generation. The world can still do it.
However, compared to Kirigakure, which is closed to itself, Obito is more inclined to the latter guess.
Because, in the past few decades, the entire Blood Mist has been crippled, and the strength of the younger generation has suffered serious faults in the battle on the eastern border of the Fire Country. The entire strength has dropped so much that even Sand Hidden Not even a village.
And even though the senior management of Kirigakure Village lost face, admitted their mistakes and dereliction of duty over the past few decades, and sincerely issued a recall order to their comrades who had defected. But until now, none of the ninja swordsmen have returned, and even the iconic seven ninja swords have disappeared from this world with their masters.
Can Kirigakure really be able to take Inigaki Kisame away with the current situation?
Obito had no reason not to question it.
Regarding the possibility of Uchiha Ara,
He had also taken the risk of being discovered by Konoha, intending to explore Uchiha again, including the special pair of eyes that made him feel palpitating when he sneaked in before.
But the feedback he got was that as soon as he was in that dusty old land, two sharp rays of perception were directed towards the location where he was standing.
One of them is very familiar to him, so familiar that it can be engraved in his bones!
It's that damn Uchiha Ara! !
This guy is really banned in the clan, and under such a strict confinement technique, there is no possibility of leaving.
This point was also recognized by Bai Jue, who was outside the prison.
Therefore, there is really only one person left with suspicion: Itachi Uchiha.
Perhaps, this bastard only betrayed the Uchiha clan from beginning to end, and never betrayed Konoha!
Or perhaps, it was the old guys in Konoha who were threatening Sasuke with his life, forcing him to submit and become a gray spy placed in the Akatsuki organization.
In fact, no matter which possibility it is, it is very easy to be exposed.
But the premise is to get the cooperation of Uchiha Itachi, and then use Nagato's Rinnegan or his own kaleidoscope to sink into this guy's inner world to search for the answer.
However, such behavior will definitely not be approved by this guy.
And if they force the palace to face each other, there will only be one consequence: the two sides will break up, and Uchiha Itachi will betray the Akatsuki organization.
In this way, regardless of whether he is a spy planted by Konoha, or he is subject to Konoha's coercion, it will bring a certain blow to the Akatsuki organization and the leakage of secrets.
The consequences of this are definitely not what Obito wants to see.
Itachi's fighting prowess and careful thinking made him appreciate it but had to be careful about it.
Therefore, by maintaining a vigilant and ambiguous attitude, letting this guy act alone, and having Zetsu follow and monitor him, Obito can find the safest way.
And judging from the current development, this effect is also very outstanding. The best proof is the successful capture of the four-tailed Jinchuuriki alone.
Itachi still had no response to Obito's words.
Those calm, watery black pupils didn't know what they were looking at or thinking about.
"That's inevitable."
"After all, hunting a Jinchuuriki who is approaching perfection alone is an achievement that has never been achieved in the organization."
The earlier voice of admiration sounded again.
At the same time, a black and white figure slowly emerged from under the rugged and ferocious surface.
Absolutely,
It can be said that he is Itachi's temporary teammate, but he is more like a monitor!
And he will never appear in battle or when walking alone with him. He will only appear in the presence of Obito or Nagato.
The purpose is to guard against the powerful pair of Mangekyō Sharingan.
"When we go back this time, that guy Deidara will definitely be speechless."
Zetsu, who was not good at paying attention to the surrounding atmosphere, continued.
His voice was filled with excitement,
After all, this is the first hunting operation in three years and the second tailed beast successfully captured!
It's a good start for that.
"What's the next mission?"
Uchiha Itachi, who was at the center of the praise, finally spoke.
But his voice was still cold, and there was no response to the talent's praise in his words.
It seems that except for the tasks assigned to me, everything has nothing to do with it.
"This is not urgent."
"Although the major powers have recently relaxed their supervision of the Jinchuuriki, they are still under surveillance."
"If this guy hadn't left the village voluntarily because of his different personalities and concepts from Onoki, it wouldn't be that simple to successfully hunt."
"We will naturally make arrangements when there is news about other Jinchuuriki."
"Let's leave the Kingdom of Earth now. That old guy Onoki is not a simple thing after all. He will react soon."
Obito placed his palm on the dying Lao Zi, and immediately activated the power of his right eye.
"Sa, let me take you away too."
After transferring the four-tailed Jinchuuriki, he immediately stretched out his palm towards the indifferent young man in his field of vision, speaking calmly as usual.
However, the independent Uchiha Itachi just looked at the man wearing the mask silently, and then turned into crows flying away.
Obviously, while the Akatsuki organization is on guard against itself, it is also on guard against the other party.
"This guy is really not that easy to control. Wait until all the tailed beasts are collected..."
Upon seeing this, a hoarse and ferocious voice blurted out, originating from the black side of Zetsu.
However, he did not finish what he said after all. Instead, he suddenly stopped speaking and changed his words:
"Then I'll keep watching."
As soon as the words fell, it disappeared beneath the surface.
And Obito's eye that was exposed outside the mask also became particularly cold after the surrounding silence.
【Uchiha Itachi,】
[How long can you hide it? 】
【I will always keep an eye on you! 】
He will deal with anyone who interferes with the Eye of the Moon plan without mercy, even if the other person is a so-called companion.
