"Today, two months later, I will hand over the specimen of the Nine-Tails to you. The Uchiha priest crossed his hands and glanced at Orochimaru, who was about to move, "It's just that I am the only one who knows where the specimen of the Nine-Tails is placed, so you must keep me safe at all times during these two months." ”

The Uchiha Festival only takes forty-nine days to completely remove Orochimaru's curse seal, and the two-month period is just a general way of saying to confuse Orochimaru.

"No problem. Orochimaru agreed to the Uchiha Festival's request, "You kid, you can force me to make concessions and unknowingly transfer the initiative to your side, it seems that I really seriously underestimated you." ”

With the deterrent power of "Izanagi" and the attraction of "Nine-Tails Specimen", the Uchiha Festival has completely reversed the situation that was unfavorable to him at the beginning and completely took the upper hand in the negotiations.

And Orochimaru, who was full of confidence at the beginning, in the end, could only choose to obey the decision of the Uchiha Festival, for the Uchiha Festival, this is undoubtedly a victory in negotiations.

What's more, in the final condition, the Uchiha Matsuri asked Orochimaru to "protect his safety at all times". In other words, in order to obtain the nine-tailed specimen in the hands of the Uchiha Festival, Orochimaru must not only not kill the Uchiha Festival, but also must protect the safety of the Uchiha Festival at all times.

Unconsciously, Orochimaru turned into the guard of the Uchiha Festival and willingly protected the Uchiha Festival, which has to make people sigh at the Uchiha Festival's ability to turn things around.

Side.

Just as the Uchiha Matsuri was negotiating with Orochimaru, the Red Sand Scorpion slowly walked back.

Seeing the Red Sand Scorpion come back, whether it was Orochimaru or Uchiha Matsuri, they all chose to shut up and be silent without exception.

"Scorpion, how is the situation on your side?" asked the Uchiha Matsuri curiously.

If he could, the Uchiha Festival really planned to use this opportunity to lead out the four generations of Wind Shadow Sand Waterfall Raksha, and understand the grievances between himself and Sand Waterfall Raksha for more than ten years.

"A few kilometers away, there are seven or eight sand ninja scattered around. The Red Sand Scorpion said coldly, "However, I've all killed them all now, so we don't have anything to worry about tonight." ”

The Red Sand Scorpion was originally born in Sand Hidden Village, and he still knows a lot about some of the combat methods, weaknesses, and methods of spying on intelligence of the ninjas in Sand Hidden Village.

Therefore, in the operation just now, the Red Sand Scorpion killed all seven or eight sand ninjas just by virtue of the puppet of "Crimson Amber".

"That's right. The Uchiha nodded and didn't say anything more.

Now that the Red Sand Scorpion has eliminated all the lurking sand ninjas around it, there is no chance for his previous plan to be implemented.

……

After two days and one night of travel, by the afternoon of the next day, the Uchiha Matsuri and his party finally arrived at the headquarters of the "Akatsuki" organization, the Rain Ninja Village.

In winter, the rain ninja village is still cloudy and rainy.

Facing the cold and biting freezing rain, the Uchiha Matsuri followed the two of them to the central square of the Rain Ninja Village.

"That's where the chief is. The Red Sand Scorpion pointed to the tower in the center of the plaza and said to the Uchiha Matsuri, "The leader must have sensed your presence a long time ago......"

The buildings in the Rain Ninja Village are almost all made of steel, and under the Rain Ninja Village, large and small pipes crisscross and extend in all directions.

In the middle of the village, an imposing tower rises from the ground.

The top floor of the tower seems to be where the corpses are stored, and the lowest floors should be where Nagato and Konan live and work.

Saying goodbye to Orochimaru and the Scorpion of Akasand, the Uchiha Matsuri slowly walked in the direction of the tower.

Meanwhile.

in the tower.

Nagato and Konan are discussing the arrangements for the Uchiha Festival in a hidden room.

“…… According to Mr. Madara's plan, even if he can't adopt the Uchiha Festival, he must establish a cooperative relationship with him. Nagato muttered to himself.

The Uchiha Matsuri's ability is very strong, not to mention the One Tail and the Eight Tails, even if it is the Nine Tails, it is possible for the Uchiha Matsuri to pull it out of the body of Uzumaki Kushina.

If the "Akatsuki" organization had received the assistance of the Uchiha Matsuri, perhaps it would not have waited until Konoha was in his sixties to start collecting tailed beasts and plotting to resurrect the Ten Tailed Sacred Trees, as in the original Hokage books.

"Nagato, do you really think that Mr. Madara is a more reliable person?" Xiao Nan said worriedly.

Ever since he saw the person who called himself "Madara Uchiha" (Uchiha Obito), Xiao Nan had a vague feeling that the person who called himself "Madara" was not a very reliable person.

It's just that because Nagato unswervingly chose to cooperate with "Madara", as Nagato's best friend, Xiao Nan can't say anything anymore.

"Of course. Without hesitation, Nagato blurted out, "According to Madara-san's vision, the world will be in permanent peace." Isn't this what we aspire to and aspire to?"

According to Madara Uchiha's vision, the only way to achieve peace in this world is to collect tailed beasts and gain the power to destroy a country in an instant, and to suppress war by relying on the fear of human beings for those pains, and to lead the world in a painful way to bring the world to stability and peace.

The idea of "Madara Uchiha" gave the painful and confused Nagato a new goal to strive for, and Nagato was therefore very convinced that the idea of "Madara Uchiha" was the right path.

Then, for some other "orders" of "Madara Uchiha", Nagato also chose to accept Aiya and Uchi.

"However, I always feel that that guy has been hiding something from us......" Xiao Nan retorted weakly.

As a legendary-level character from the same period as the original Hokage, how did "Madara Uchiha" survive until now?

Since Madara Uchiha is already planning to cooperate with the Akatsuki organization, why does Madara Uchiha keep wearing a mask?

……

Xiao Nan has too many doubts in his heart.

And these doubts add up to form a huge synergy, which makes Xiao Nan's heart more and more suspicious of the identity of "Madara Uchiha" and his true purpose.

"Maybe you're thinking too much......" Nagato waved his hand, interrupting Nan's words.

“…… I agree with Mr. Madara's theory. And, Xiaonan, I don't believe Mr. Madara 100% as you say. I've been on the lookout for Mr. Madara all the time, but until now, Mr. Madara hasn't shown any unusual behavior, so I'll say, maybe you're thinking too much. Nagato said.
