"You're here."
"Yeah."
In a dimly lit cave in Amegakure.
Tendo Pain opened his eyes, staring coldly at the man who appeared before him.
"This time, what news have you brought?"
Still a commanding tone.
Tendo Pain, said in a cold voice.
And this time.
Obito's eyes, were without any ripples.
"I found a very promising ninja, who is skilled in sensory abilities and medical ninjutsu, which may be useful to Akatsuki."
Obito directly cut to the chase, and stated his purpose of coming.
It was just... he had concealed some things.
Even though.
Standing in front of him, was just an ignorant pawn.
Obito, still maintained basic precautions.
He, didn't trust anyone.
Except himself.
"Akatsuki doesn't lack medical ninja."
"And for intelligence gathering, there is Zetsu and you, which is enough."
Tendo Pain only hesitated for a moment, and directly chose to refuse.
Just as he said.
What Akatsuki lacked, was not ninjas who could heal the wounded.
The path to peace, was full of blood, and a medical ninja, was often not suitable for this path.
What Akatsuki wanted, was the strength that could absolutely crush.
If you weren't skilled enough, and died in battle, 080 was the best ending.
Moreover.
He had also been wary of the man in front of him.
And this answer, was within Obito's expectations.
But.
Hearing these somewhat offensive words, Obito couldn't help but frown.
"Akatsuki's manpower has been insufficient recently, this candidate, may be of some help to Akatsuki."
Obito suppressed the increasingly restless anger in his heart, and said in a cold voice.
"At least, her sensory abilities... can detect my existence."
"Also, the last time Jiraiya was able to find Orochimaru, was because of this person's help."
"If Jiraiya brings this person to find Orochimaru again... you, may be exposed."
Obito tried his best to persuade the man in front of him, without revealing the girl's strength.
Every word he said seemed very casual.
Likewise, he was reducing the connection between the girl and himself after she joined Akatsuki.
Tendo Pain's eyes were still impassive, full of indifference.
But Konan, who was next to him, her pupils suddenly shrank, and she quickly looked at Tendo Pain!
"Is that so."
Tendo Pain murmured, and fell into thought.
He didn't seem to notice Konan's urgent gaze.
But only Nagato, who was controlling Tendo Pain, knew.
When he heard that name, how strong the fluctuations in his heart were!
Jiraiya... teacher.
Would you, approve of the path I have chosen?
Many thoughts flashed through his mind for a moment.
But soon, Nagato made a decision.
"Is there a chance to kill that person?"
He still hadn't agreed.
Nagato, was still wary of the man in front of him.
"I tried, although we didn't fight, but the difficulty should be very high."
Obito answered.
"But if you send me one or two more people, then there will be no problem."
"However... in that case, it will be inconvenient for me to take action."
Tendo Pain fell silent again.
He was considering, whether the words of the man in front of him were credible.
That's right.
Although he maintained a strong vigilance, the relationship between the two sides was still in a cooperative state with Akatsuki as the leader.
After a long time…
After a series of trade-offs!
Tendo Pain, closed his eyes again.
"Then bring her back as soon as possible."
"If there is anything abnormal... I, will take action myself."
Tendo Pain, was still saying that indifferently.
And Obito, while sneering repeatedly in his heart, also slowly disappeared…
"Pain, are the words he said, credible?"
After Obito left, Konan immediately asked.
"No." Tendo Pain opened his eyes, and shook his head.
"But he's right... if Jiraiya-sensei finds us, the current Akatsuki, will be very troublesome."
Konan fell silent again.
And Tendo Pain, was staring in the direction of Obito's departure, and frowning.
"Don't worry, Konan."
"If that person is really useless to Akatsuki... I, will solve her in front of him."
Konoha.
"This is obviously a collusion between Uchiha Haruko and that man."
"Sarutobi, it's time to make a decision."
Having lost a lot of manpower, and being accused of being entangled with Obito, Danzo, was extremely calm when facing his old friend.
"She has no reason to do so, Danzo."
Hiruzen Sarutobi's eyes were still calm, and he said slowly.
"If Uchiha Haruko had really gotten the opportunity to contact the Nine-Tails Jinchūriki as you thought, it's impossible that she wouldn't have taken any action."
"Your judgment is too rash."
Danzo's eyes immediately turned cold.
"Then your meaning is, you are willing to believe an Uchiha's accusation against me?"
"Sarutobi!"
With a cold snort, Danzo's voice was extremely cold!
"In your eyes, am I now inferior to even an Uchiha?!"
"Calm down, Danzo."
Hiruzen Sarutobi interrupted with a frown.
"This matter itself is very strange, it's obvious that someone wants to encourage the Uchiha to fight against Konoha."
"The most urgent task, is still to find out the enemy's purpose first."
Bang!
Before Hiruzen Sarutobi could finish speaking, Danzo Shimura had already slammed the door and left.
And this time.
Hiruzen Sarutobi, didn't make any obstructions either.
After a long time.
When the smoke exhaled by Hiruzen Sarutobi, had already enveloped the entire Hokage office.
A figure appeared, with a ponytail wearing a mask, kneeling on one knee.
"Hokage-sama."
"The Uchiha... did have the intention of kidnapping the Nine-Tails, but it was not implemented, and it is temporarily on hold."
The person who came was reporting quickly, and his eyes, flashed accordingly.
"But what can be confirmed is... Uchiha Haruko, has no intention of cooperating with the Uchiha for the time being."
"I will continue to investigate."
Hearing this, the solemnity on Hiruzen Sarutobi's face, was reduced by more than half…
"As expected, I didn't misjudge you..."
He didn't know whether Hiruzen Sarutobi was talking about the person in front of him, or the girl in the report.
In short, after receiving the report from the person in front of him, Hiruzen Sarutobi, although still somewhat solemn, still breathed a sigh of relief.
"Thank you for your hard work... Itachi."
