Konoha's Master of Illusion

Chapter 110 Kakuzu’s Loyalty

"I'm just not sure"

Kakuzu explained it this way.

"That boy's illusion skills have reached an incomprehensible level."

From his understanding, no matter how powerful the illusion is, it must have a medium to perform it. Even Uchiha Itachi's Tsukuyomi can only be used when the eyes are at least facing each other.But the situation at that time was that Tetsuya Yamanaka had already used the illusion on himself from a distance of dozens of meters.

This was the main reason why Kakuzu gave in immediately. Of course, it was also because of the Jinchuriki and other factors that made him no longer sure of victory in his heart, and regarded the opponent as an enemy who could defeat or even kill him.

In fact, Tetsuya does not have such a miraculous illusion method, just because Kakuzu is not a perceptive ninja, and he does not have blood inheritance limits such as Byakugan and Sharingan, so he cannot detect the spirits that come to him.With the increase of time, the distance between the spirit body and the body is also expanding and lengthening, and the new limit has reached 50 meters.

When he met Itachi, Kisame was unable to see Tetsuya's spirit body, and although Itachi saw it, he concealed it.

For Itachi, his status as an undercover agent was almost obvious, and he was not afraid that the leader would question him about this matter later.

This also leads to the fact that Tetsuya's spiritual ability is unknown information to the Akatsuki organization.

After hearing Kakuzu's explanation, which was not very confident, Nagato did not pursue the matter to the end, and just said:
"Xiao currently has only one criterion for recruiting members, and that is strength. Of course it is possible to bring in Tetsuya Yamanaka, but in addition to strength, we naturally also need loyalty. Kakuzu, as the recommender, why don't you take the responsibility of inspecting Tetsuya Yamanaka? It’s a mission, how about it?”

"This"

If you ask Kakuzu if he is willing, of course he won't.

If a ninja who was good at illusions was an ordinary person, he would certainly not take it seriously, but was Tetsuya Yamanaka an ordinary person?The illusion ability can hit him from dozens of meters away. Does the leader understand the meaning of this?Let yourself be around such people, just in case one day you are secretly controlled by them
All kinds of concerns were lingering in his mind, but Jiao didn't say anything out loud, he just responded:

"Ok."

Working for the Akatsuki organization is not a day or two. He knows that the leader's arrangements are always decisive and cannot be disobeyed.This is different from killing the companions arranged by the organization. It is nothing to kill a few unusable teammates casually, because this is also a way to test the ability of members, and it is not much of a problem to die if they fail.

But now, the leader is ordering himself to undertake the task of examining Tetsuya Yamanaka, and the consequences of refusing are most likely beyond his reach.

Therefore, he could only take orders.

Tiandao Payne nodded in satisfaction, and casually dispersed the phantom created by the Magic Lantern Body Technique. At the same time, Nagato opened his eyes and said to Xiaonan:

"Akatsuki is going to be lively too."

"Nagato, are you sure you want it?"

Xiaonan looked worried and advised:
"He is probably a spy that Konoha wants to plant in. How come a talented ninja with a promising future suddenly ran away to steal the three tails of Kirigakure Village and turned into a traitorous ninja? Isn't it the same as Uchiha Itachi? They also have other purposes."

Of course Nagato knew what she was thinking, but there were many differences in their views.

"It's okay. There is already an Uchiha Itachi in the organization, so what's the point of having one more? Besides, Tetsuya Yamanaka has now become the Three-Tailed Jinchuuriki. Since he comes to you, just accept it generously. When the time is right, I can take him down personally, but how can he cause any trouble in the hands of God?"

Nagato said he was full of confidence, and he indeed had such capital.

But Xiaonan was not reassured by these words, but instead became more irritable.

In these years, she has seen Nagato's rapid mental and ideological changes after that great change, but there is no way to reverse it.Yahiko's death was a devastating blow to both of them, but now she began to feel that Nagato might never get out of this haze, instead of slowly letting go like her.

From opening his mouth to speaking to being silent, Xiaonan finally gave up and continued to persuade.

Nagato is immersed in the step-by-step implementation of the plan and the fantasy of claiming to be a god. He wants to realize the great and magnificent dream of his best friend in a different way, and hurt and comfort the world.

All this may eventually come to an end, because Konan knows very well that Nagato is not a god and his abilities are limited.

But it is absolutely impossible for Nagato to give up, because without this, he cannot accept his powerlessness in all this, cannot accept the failure and death of his best friend, and will only be left with great pain.

Therefore, for Xiaonan, it is her only choice to accompany Nagato to continue walking down this road that will eventually break.

There was no way she could abandon Nagato.

"Want to get some fresh air? I heard it'll be good for you."

Coming to the window, Xiaonan looked at the hazy scene of drizzle outside the window and asked.

What I recalled in my heart was the time when the three of them huddled together while hiding from the rain, starving but smiling happily.

It's a pity that the smiles can no longer appear on their faces.

Including Yahiko too.

"open it."

Nagato responded casually, his attention not on Konan at all, he was just thinking about things about the Akatsuki organization.

Orochimaru has just returned to the Akatsuki organization, and with the addition of Tetsuya Yamanaka, the manpower within the organization seems to be sufficient.However, Akatsuki is actually not that short of manpower at present. After getting some employment tasks from Iwagakure, it has more than enough executive manpower. The rest are actually getting paid but not working.

But this is to prepare for future plans. The powerful force needed to capture the tailed beast must be prepared as soon as possible. When the plan is about to be implemented, it will be time-consuming and laborious to find people temporarily.

But these people are not that easy to use, Uchiha Itachi, everyone knows the identity of this guy, and there is no need to say more.

It's hard to say what purpose Orochimaru has.

There is also a high probability that Tetsuya Yamanaka is not a reliable candidate that can be trusted. Coupled with the identity of the Three-Tailed Jinchuuriki, there are many things that need to be paid attention to.

For example, looking for opportunities to plant bans or something like that
As one of the big bosses behind the scenes who wants to subvert the ninja world, Nagato has to scratch his head and think about many problems every day. If his hands were not imprisoned in restraints, he would probably lose a lot of hair.

On the other hand, Jiaodu didn't think much about it.

When he opened his eyes, he saw the burning bonfire. Yamanaka Tetsuya stared at him with stern eyes. He couldn't help but feel weak in his heart, but he remained calm on the surface:
"how?"

"I'm wondering if Kakuzu-senpai has already contacted the organization?"

"It can't be that fast. Let me take a nap first to recharge my batteries. The secret technique of long-distance communication consumes a lot of energy. I can't use it after a tiring day."

Although "Zero" has agreed, Kakuzu is still ready to put on a show and put on a full show.

After all, the leader said that this guy still needs to be investigated. Since this task falls on his shoulders, it cannot be too vague.

In a sense, Kakudo still retains some ninja habits.

Such as loyalty.

Although he was forced to join the Akatsuki organization at the beginning, as time passed, he also developed a lot of sense of belonging to Akatsuki.

This feeling is good, especially for Kakuzu who became a rebel ninja many years ago and wandered in the ninja world for many years. Being a member of the Akatsuki organization is a lucky thing.
