Chapter 49
"What a mesmerizing sharingan." Orochimaru licked his tongue while staring at Itachi's side face, unconcerned by Itachi's cold gaze. "No matter how many times I watch it, I can't help but tremble......"
In this wide cave where there were obvious traces of artificial excavation, Payne standing in the center, Kakudu leaning against the corner of the wall, the scorpion hiding in the crimson amber, and Orochimaru and Itachi, a total of five people arrived to greet the new members who were about to arrive.
"Here we are." Payne's abrupt voice sounded in silence, and for a moment everyone's attention was focused on the stone door, and with Payne's words, the stone door began to slowly push to reveal the gap.
"Cut, it's another little ghost." Passing through the stone gate, the young face was illuminated by the firelight, and the scorpion glanced at it and then withdrew its gaze with no interest.
"Away, it's really you."
"It's me, how's it going?" As soon as he stepped into the cave, he made eye contact with Itachi, and he had this conversation with Itachi with his eyes, half of his face hidden under the vertical collar of his cloak.
"It's grand." After glancing at Itachi, he looked away and looked at the people in the cave, except for the more unexpected Uncle Snake who was also among them, and did not see the ghost shark and Deidara and others. "Orochimaru's presence means that he hasn't clashed with Itachi yet, and Fei Duan hasn't seen it, it seems that all the members are currently concentrated here except for Xiao Nanxiao."
"If you drop a nuclear bomb here, it is estimated that Shippuden will not be able to continue." I couldn't resist such a thought in my head, and finally met Payne under the scrutinizing gaze of everyone.
"You're, Uchiha?" The corner that had been clasping his arms and chest to the side couldn't help but stare at the question and opened his mouth.
"Uchiha?" In addition to Itachi and Payne, who knew the inside story, Uncle Snake and Scorpion couldn't help but be surprised, and they felt a chill from being targeted by Uncle Snake behind them.
"It was rumored that he teamed up with the Itachi of Extermination to slaughter the people of the Uchiha clan, but I thought it was a rumor." Seeing that Li didn't refute, Jiaodu's eyes scanned back and forth between Itachi and Li. "No wonder the leader says that the new member is an old friend of the Itachi, the new one."
"Why, it's a rumor." Turning his head to look at Kakuto, he met his eyes without showing weakness, after all, he had dealt with the big boss of Obito, and he didn't have the initial panic in the face of this elite monster who gave Naruto experience.
"I'm not there or not, your head is worth a lot of money on the black market."
"That's a pity, I don't have a hobby of exchanging my head for money." stabbed Jiaodu coldly, and the scarlet three-hook jade appeared in the pupils of Li, as if to warn the horn-capital, in this extremist organization full of terrorists, once you show weakness, it means that everyone will not take you in their eyes, and this person in the corner capital has the deeds of exchanging the heads of his teammates for money, and he uses the three-hook jade to write the wheel eye to declare that he is not a soft persimmon.
"Heh, there are actually two pairs of eyes that are so precious in front of me......" The tongue licked around his lips, and Orochimaru's cold vertical pupils were full of fanaticism. Heaven has favored me so much, and you are all mine! ”
"Kakudu, don't treat newcomers with such an attitude."
"Got it." The back had already left the wall where it was attached, and the corners leaned back under Payne's majestic gaze.
"Hello Uchiha." After pressing down the corner, Payne relented about leaving. "I'm Payne, the leader of Akatsuki, how much do you know about Akatsuki's situation?"
"Pretty much." He didn't close the writing wheel eyes, and just looked at the eyes that turned the entire ninja world upside down.
"Yes, but I'll say it again." Yahiko, who had already become a corpse, naturally couldn't show any expression, but after incarnating into the Heavenly Dao, with those rippling reincarnation eyes that seemed to be able to deregister souls, it gave people a different kind of pressure. "Akatsuki's goal is to achieve true peace in the ninja world, and Akatsuki will dominate the world instead of the five powers."
"What a big wish." I don't know whether it's ridicule or admiration.
"To that end, we have gathered the best ninjas, regardless of their origins and experiences." Payne stepped forward and stretched out his palm, and in the palm of his hand was a ring engraved with three characters. "Welcome to Akatsuki, leave."
"I seem to have robbed the flying section?" He took the ring with a complicated gaze, looked at it in front of his eyes for a while, and sighed and put it on the ring finger of his left hand.
"Yo Xi!" Watching Li put the ring on, Obito attracted everyone's attention with a funny tone and movements. "I've managed to recruit two members for the organization, and that's enough credit for me to become a full member!"
"Let's not mention this yet, you go to the Land of Water to bring back Itachi's teammates, and I'll give you his information later." Payne ignores Obito's juggler.
"Huh?" The pretending Obito lowered his hands as if he was deflated, "Do you want me to run errands again?" ”
"Chief." Orochimaru took a step forward and inserted the topic, giving him a meaningful look as he walked sideways. "Since you won't let me team up with Itachi, why don't you let me take it away and familiarize yourself with the organization, I and Scorpion have been looking at each other for a long time, and this also affects the efficiency of completing the task, isn't it?"
"Hey, Xiao is about to become a refuge for Konoha traitors, and there are already three Konoha traitors in the new arrival." The scorpion was very cooperative and sneered on the side.
"Well, you're right." Retracting his gaze from the direction of the scorpion, Payne was finally relieved.
"Right, let me get away with ......"
"Kakudu, you team up with Orochimaru for the time being." Payne interrupted Orochimaru and spoke towards Kakuto in Orochimaru's stunned eyes. "I've already helped you find a new teammate, you go with Orochimaru to bring him back."
"Got it." Raising his eyes and glancing at Orochimaru, Kakudo didn't refute either.
"But!"
"There will be other missions, and I will not participate in the battle of the organization for the time being."
“…… All right. In the faint feeling of oppression coming from the reincarnation eye, Orochimaru had to shake his head and give in, but regretfully looked at Li and licked his lower lip and stepped away.
", that's disgusting." Orochimaru's life can be said to have been defeated by his obsession with writing wheels, and he can't help but be vigilant when he looks at Orochimaru's back. "Itachi was able to get rid of Orochimaru so easily because his illusion attainments were at its peak, and I tried to keep my distance from Orochimaru as much as possible."
"Itachi, I've worked hard for you for half a month." Also as a newcomer, Itachi is also satisfied with the completion rate and completion of the task. "Take a break until your new teammates arrive."
"Yes." The ferret responded lightly.
"Scorpion pleases you to go back to the Land of Sand, there is a task for you to solve." Payne gave a mission to the only idle scorpion in the field.
"I don't want to go back, but forget it." The scorpion's voice from the crimson amber was very low. "As long as it's not with that stinky snake."
"If you understand the situation, disband, and the mission goal will be passed on to you." As Payne's words fell, both Scorpion and Kakudu exploded into a puff of smoke and disappeared, while Orochimaru continued to scan Itachi and Li with a gloomy smile as they slowly sank into the ground.
"Leave, Madara has already told me about your situation, and the next period of time will allow you to study ninjutsu in the organization's base." The remaining three people in the field all know Obito's so-called true identity, and there is no need to hide it. "Except for ninjutsu above grade B, all the information in the organization is open to you."
"Are you still satisfied?" Obito also retracted his teaseful appearance, and asked with a smile.
"Not bad." When he heard Payne's words, his little heart was so excited that it couldn't stop beating.
"Then I'll get busy first." Obito's form began to distort with the space, "It's all up to you, Payne. ”
"Let's go too." Retracting his gaze from where Obito had disappeared, Payne said to Li.
"Wait a minute, I'm going to catch up with my old friends." As soon as he turned his head to face the identical pair of scarlet three-hook jade writing wheels, there seemed to be a burst of fire in the focal point of his sight. "After all, my old friend hasn't taken his eyes off me since I walked in the door."
"Yes." Looking at Itachi and Li, who were looking at each other, Payne responded in a light tone. "Solve it as soon as possible, and will definitely bring you to me when you need it."
Boom! After a puff of smoke exploded, only two people were left in the arena in silence for a while.
"Leave." After a long silence, Itachi took the initiative to speak. "Why are you here?"
