Uchiha Itachi directly used the Question Card.
Instantly, a question appeared in the livestream room.
[Question: What are the names of all the current official members of the Akatsuki organization?]
[Fourth Kazekage]: Akatsuki? This organization seems somewhat unfamiliar, doesn't it?
[Fourth Raikage]: It's a mercenary group; if you have money, you can hire them. Our village, Kumogakure, has hired Akatsuki before. But this organization is quite mysterious; I'm not clear on the specifics of who's in it!
[Kakashi]: Uchiha Itachi should be a member of Akatsuki, right?
[Orochimaru]: This question is too simple. To be honest, I was once a member of Akatsuki myself, so Uchiha Itachi should easily know the names of all the members. This is a freebie!
Nagato and Konan frowned.
"This question is difficult!" Nagato muttered.
Konan nodded, "Indeed, very difficult. We are now certain that the masked man is not Uchiha Madara, but who he really is, even you, Nagato, don't know. There's no way Uchiha Itachi could know. The other members don't even know about the masked man's existence. No matter who tries to answer, they won't get it right!"
Nagato continued, "However, even if the answer is wrong, it's not a big deal. But will the Question Card reveal the correct answer? If it does, we'll finally know who the masked man is."
Uchiha Obito was panicking.
"Why did this question come up? Damn this Question Card! If it reveals my identity, that would be troublesome!" Uchiha Obito said in a low voice.
Uchiha Madara was also stunned. Akatsuki was a key piece for his resurrection!
Although Akatsuki would be exposed sooner or later, the difference between being exposed now and later is significant!
At this moment, many people in the livestream room were discussing Akatsuki, which made many ninjas gradually become aware of this organization.
Of course, they still didn't know the names of Akatsuki's members.
After all, Akatsuki had only operated sporadically before and had been reorganized multiple times. The current Akatsuki was different from the one initially established.
It had once been a small faction, but now it had become a truly powerful and mysterious organization.

"Itachi, this question isn't difficult. Are you going to answer it?" Kisame Hoshigaki asked.
After all, if they answered, it would expose Akatsuki. If Nagato found out, he would be very angry.
But if they didn't answer and the Question Card still revealed the correct answer, it would be a wasted opportunity since answering correctly could bring immense rewards.
"I'll think about it!" Uchiha Itachi replied in deep thought.
"Should we contact Nagato first and ask for his opinion?" Kisame suggested.
"That's possible," Uchiha Itachi nodded.
Immediately, below the earth, ten positions on the Gedo Statue began to emit light one after another.
Akatsuki's members used their rings to connect with the Gedo Statue's power, projecting themselves here for easy communication.
At this moment, Nagato, Konan, Uchiha Itachi, Kisame Hoshigaki, Sasori, Deidara, Hidan, Kakuzu, and Zetsu all appeared.
Before Uchiha Itachi could speak, Kisame couldn't help but ask, "Leader, what should we do about the question in the livestream? If we don't answer, there will be no reward, and the card might still reveal the answer. If we answer, it might expose our members, but the reward could be incredibly beneficial to Akatsuki."
Uchiha Itachi added, "Leader, what should we do?"
Nagato spoke up, "Itachi, I'd like you to answer, but you might not get it right!"
"Not get it right? How is that possible? Aren't these the people? And that traitor Orochimaru doesn't count since we've already removed him from Akatsuki!" Kisame argued.
"There's one more person hiding in the shadows, and he can be considered one of the founders of Akatsuki. He's been staying behind the scenes," Nagato explained.
"What? Someone hiding in the shadows?" Kisame, along with Hidan, Deidara, and the others, were utterly shocked.
"Zetsu, you contact him," Nagato instructed.
"No problem!" both White Zetsu and Black Zetsu responded in unison.
A clone of White Zetsu appeared before Uchiha Obito.
"Obito, Nagato is looking for you!" White Zetsu said.
"Looking for me?" Uchiha Obito frowned. "What's the matter?"
"Of course, it's about the Question Card in the livestream. You're also a member of Akatsuki, and Uchiha Itachi doesn't know your name. If he gets it wrong, we'll miss out on this opportunity. You know how valuable the Golden List's rewards are, and if he answers correctly, it would greatly benefit Akatsuki," White Zetsu explained.
Uchiha Obito was tempted but hesitated, "If Uchiha Itachi answers correctly, he gets the reward. Will he be willing to share it?"
"That can be negotiated!" White Zetsu replied.
"As long as Uchiha Itachi agrees to share the reward with the entire Akatsuki, I'll reveal my identity!" Uchiha Obito said through gritted teeth.
Although revealing his identity would cause some problems, the impact wouldn't be significant.
After all, outside of Akatsuki, most ninjas would just think of him as an ordinary Akatsuki member, not realizing the true nature of his plan.
Revealing only the names of Akatsuki's members wouldn't cause major issues.
Moreover, even if he didn't reveal his identity, the Question Card might do it anyway, so it was better to take the initiative.
"I'll convey your suggestion," White Zetsu said.
Back at the Gedo Statue.
White Zetsu conveyed Uchiha Obito's proposal, and the others agreed, awaiting Uchiha Itachi's decision.
After pondering for a while, Uchiha Itachi finally nodded, "Alright!"
"Come out!" White Zetsu and Black Zetsu said.
The air twisted, and a figure emerged, wearing a mask.
"Reveal yourself!" Nagato ordered.
Uchiha Obito removed his mask, and Kisame Hoshigaki was shocked, "It's you! I thought it was Uchiha Madara controlling the Mizukage, but it turns out it was you, not Madara!"
"Kisame, you seem familiar with my eyes! Yes, I was the one who controlled Yagura! And it was I who invited you to join Akatsuki," Obito admitted.
"So, you're not Madara!" Nagato remarked calmly.
"No, I'm not Madara!" Uchiha Obito said firmly, "But let's be clear, if we get this answer right, the reward must be shared with the entire Akatsuki. Uchiha Itachi can't keep it all to himself, or I will kill him!"
Uchiha Itachi showed no expression, only nodding slightly.
"Tell us, what's your real name?" Nagato urged.
"I am Uchiha Obito!" Uchiha Obito declared.
