Chapter 154 Schemes in the Gutter
Chapter 154 Schemes in the Gutter
The Land of Rain, the headquarters of the Akatsuki organization.
That's basically the situation!
The pale-faced Itachi Uchiha dispelled the genjutsu used to share information.
During that illusion, everyone experienced his battle with Akali from a first-person perspective.
And so, a long silence spread across the fingers of the demonic statue.
After a long while, Deidara spat out a mouthful of spittle in resentment:
"Itachi, you bastard, you actually had that kind of technique hidden away!"
"However, even so, my art is still invincible, hmm!"
"You idiot!" Sasori rolled his eyes speechlessly, using the bald image he was using to impersonate Hiruko. "After looking for so long, you're actually focusing on Itachi?"
"Otherwise what?" Deidara casually flicked his bangs across his forehead.
Then he looked at Sasori of the Red Sand, seemingly understanding Sasori's logic, and suddenly widened his eyes dramatically:
"Hey, really? Uncle Scorpion, are you asking me that because you're scared?"
"Oh, that's right. After all, how can eternal art compare to my explosive art!"
With that, Deidara crossed his arms and said proudly, "The enemies that your Eternal Art can deal with, my Art of Explosion can also deal with. The enemies that your Eternal Art cannot deal with, my Art of Explosion can still deal with. Therefore, Explosion far surpasses Eternity, hmm!"
Deidara added his favorite interjection at the end.
So he didn't realize that, after all that teasing, Scorpion was already furious.
As a puppeteer, Sasori truly felt his own insignificance during the god-like battles fought in Itachi's genjutsu.
Of course, he would never admit it to Deidara, who was also an artist.
"You say my art is inferior to yours, huh? Very well, today I'll see if your explosion can truly destroy my eternity!"
Sasori of the Red Sand lunged at Deidara.
The projections of the two figures on the fingers of the Outer Path Statue went out.
So only six people remained on the field: Pain, Konan, Zetsu, Kisame, Itachi, and Kakuzu.
Unlike the two artists who left, the remaining people clearly still cared about Akali's strength.
They knew one thing clearly: as long as a powerful figure like Akali existed, their plans would never come to fruition.
"So, Chief, what are your plans?"
"That kind of guy is an obstacle to our organization just by existing!"
Kakuzu looked at Payne with a sinister gaze.
Akatsuki was originally established because of Pain's invincible strength. If Pain is no longer invincible, then disbanding is only natural.
To be honest, as a coward, Kakuzu was already considering quitting.
Family members, who understands? The First Generation has been resurrected, so he can no longer boast about the power of his shuriken from 800 miles away!
"Pain..." Konan looked at the person above her with concern, seeing that Kakuzu's attitude could be described as a coup.
Of course, this concern is not because of Kakuzu.
Instead, Xiao Nan knew perfectly well that, faced with such a question, Payne had only one answer!
"It doesn't matter, I'll take action!"
"God is invincible!"
"If she ever stands in our way one day, it will be the day she dies!"
After saying that, Pain casually waved his hand, and the brief meeting came to an end.
But as we all know, meetings are always a matter of large meetings deciding small matters, and small meetings deciding big matters.
and so……
In the Land of Rain, somewhere underground.
"Oh!"
Obito angrily overturned the table in front of him and glared at the White Zetsu who was giving the report.
"Did he really say that?"
"Yeah, yeah, that's really awesome, Payne!"
Recalling Pain's posture at that time, the white Zetsu in front of Obito resembled Xi Shi holding her heart.
The image of a white Zetsu, with its pure white body, sharp protrusions like plant branches, and an overall masculine appearance, making a gesture resembling Xi Shi clutching her heart, is enough to make one realize just how cringe-worthy the scene would be.
Obito, overwhelmed by the spiciness, kicked someone away: "Get lost!"
"Oh!"
The disgusting White Zetsu spun 360° and flew away from Obito's sight.
At the same time, a teasing voice came from behind Obito: "Hehehe, so hot-tempered, Obito!"
"Of course!" Hearing the voice behind him, Obito turned around in an annoyed manner and saw Black Zetsu in the shape of a pitcher plant.
Obito complained unhappily, "That guy thinks he's a god, but he should at least have some brains. The problem now isn't the strength of any one person, but the strength of Konoha as a whole."
"Seriously, didn't I take down Minato Namikaze? Why are there still so many tough opponents emerging from Konoha?"
"And she's only 12 years old. Kakashi wasn't this strong when he was 12, was he?"
At 12 years old, that was Obito's main focus.
For Obito, Kakashi was the most talented person he had ever met. Even though he had now far surpassed Kakashi, the shadow cast by Kakashi in his childhood still lingered.
As a result, Kakashi was already such a genius when he was young, and now someone even more courageous than Kakashi has appeared. Obito finds it hard to accept.
He was even a little panicked.
If it's like this at 12, what about at 20?
Not every genius can endure such hardships as Kakashi, to the point of being crippled by setbacks, let alone the current strength of Konoha.
"Calm down, Obito!" Seeing Obito like this, Black Zetsu said in a deep voice, "He's just a genius, but he still needs to grow!"
"Just find her weakness and take her down, right? Back then, like Minato Namikaze, if he wanted to leave, no one could stop him. Didn't he still die in the battle of Konoha?"
When the battle that Obito was so proud of was mentioned, Obito perked up a bit.
"That's right, everyone has weaknesses!"
"As long as you find a weakness, no one is unkillable, not even a god will bleed."
The problem is…
Obito looked at Black Zetsu with suspicion: "Can you find it?"
Previously, the intelligence network of White Zetsu/Black Zetsu was unparalleled, and they could immediately report any event that occurred anywhere.
Akali displayed such power without leaving a trace, yet the White Zetsu intelligence network didn't send out a single warning...
"Hmph!" Seeing the suspicion in Obito's eyes, Black Zetsu snorted coldly: "Don't underestimate me! It's just a weakness, I'll find it and show it to you!"
"Of course, I won't let any information about Akali slip by either; I'll probe her for details! I just wasn't serious enough before!"
After all, you can't kill someone just by having weaknesses and no intelligence.
Having lived for so many years, Black Zetsu is practically a living fossil of the ninja world, and what he has in abundance is methods!
"The waters of this ninja world run deep, little girl!"
As he pondered his next move, a strange light flickered in Black Zetsu's eyes in the dark underground.
Afterwards, Obito and Black Zetsu continued their journey deeper into the Ninja World.
