Konoha's Master of Illusion

Chapter 133 New Mission

In short, although the meeting at the beginning of each month was a little noisy and chaotic, it still went smoothly.

Regarding the joining of Orochimaru and Yamanaka Tetsuya, no one else except Deidara had any expression and just treated it as a normal thing.

Akatsuki's criteria for recruiting members are very strict, similar to those of Kakudu's original companions who were killed, they are not considered to join at all, at least they don't get code names and are not eligible to attend regular meetings, unless they succeed in keeping their own in Kakudu's hands. Only a small life can stand here.

It's a pity that they don't have that strength. Those who can be ranked among this group of people in Rebellion and Ninja are, after all, a minority among the few.

Pein started to say something, but Tetsuya was not paying attention at all.

He looked at these people carefully, distinguishing each person's identity from the vague appearance and characteristics of the slide body.

The orderliness of Akatsuki's members was somewhat unexpected. During the Shippuden period, almost all the guys who went out to catch tailed beasts were there.The only exception is Hiduan, and that guy doesn't know where this will preach killing.In addition to this, Tetsuya and Orochimaru are naturally extra. They stop all ten fingers of the heretic golem, and there is still one place missing.

So Tetsuya is standing with an extra one under his feet. Due to the darkness of the environment and the fact that he is not here in his true body, he is not sure whether the fingers he is standing on are temporarily split from the palm of the heretic demon. .

This is not surprising. The heretic demon is the body of the Ten-Tails or the Divine Tree. It is not a normal human being. Even if it has fifty fingers, human common sense is not the standard for measuring everything.

Tetsuya's most attention was naturally focused on Uchiha Itachi.

The other party stood quietly in the darkness, his slightly narrowed eyes seemed to have no focus, and he was obviously in a trance.

How to contact me is a big problem
Tetsuya thought to himself that the Phantom Body Technique was controlled by Nagato's Samsara Eye ability. Even if he wanted to do something secretly, he didn't have that ability.

Even if he winks at Itachi, he may be noticed by Tendo Payne who is standing at the top. It is simply impossible to convey the message to Itachi without anyone noticing.

Should we wait silently for the opportunity?
It is true that there are still two years to capture the tailed beast, but Tetsuya is not sure whether he can survive safely as a three-tailed jinchuriki. If Nagato changes his mind tomorrow and feels that it is better to have a firm grasp of the three-tailed beast, put a curse seal on him or simply If you catch him, all your efforts will be wasted.

He didn't think he had the strength to fight Nagato.

More than two years later, Nagato could still destroy Konoha with one big move, and then fought Naruto until the Nine-Tails lost control and went berserk. If it weren't for the amazing power of the mouth escape, he might have to fight the Child of Destiny for a few more rounds.

That was a state where the reincarnation eye had squeezed out the vitality for another two years. In addition, the reincarnation eye also had the ability to control the soul. Tetsuya really did not have the confidence to fight against this guy.

While he was shaking in his heart, Payne called his name:
"Leave this task to Kakuzu and Tetsuya."

This sentence basically confirms that the two of them will become fixed teammates within Akatsuki in the future. Generally speaking, it can only be changed unless one of them dies.

"Oh, I know."

Tetsuya responded casually, although he had no idea what Pain said or what task he was given.

Immediately, the surrounding scene receded like a tide, returning to where Tetsuya was in reality.

He and Kakuzu were resting in a mountain forest.

In the past few days, besides thinking about his code name, Tetsuya followed Kakuzu to see what he did.

He thought that Jiaodu was either receiving a bounty to hunt down the wanted prey, or he was on the way to receive the bounty, but he found that this guy was actually not that hardworking.Although Kakuzu loves money as much as his life, and is very picky when spending money, he seems to be extremely stingy, but he is not particularly interested in things like bounties except for wandering around.

At least I won't pick up one after another.

In this regard, Kakuzu’s explanation is:
"I prefer to try my luck. Of course I don't mind making some money if I happen to encounter it. But let me focus on certain targets and act on them. It's inefficient and depends on luck. This approach of getting half the result with twice the effort is not good. In line with my creed.”

"What is Kakuzu-senpai's creed? Do you make money by lying down?"

"I would do it if I could, but I'm not a beautiful woman, so that's just a delusion."

Kakuzu glared at Tetsuya angrily:
"Let's talk about the mission. Do you have any ideas?"

"Oh, I was thinking about other things just now. I didn't pay attention to what the leader said."

Waving his hands, Zhe also said very frankly that he didn't listen at all, and he didn't feel ashamed at all.

Kakuzu felt that his face must not be particularly good-looking, but he couldn't tell with the bandages and towels wrapped around him.

He could only say helplessly:

"It's a mission given by Iwagakure. I heard that a small group of Iwagakure is missing. Onoki Tsuchikage suspects that it was done by Kumogakure. Let's go investigate."

"I understand. Did that old man Tsuchikage give you any evidence?"

"There is no evidence, but that team of Iwagakure ninjas was led by a jounin. They happened to be operating in the Kingdom of Thunder when they lost the news. So the suspicion naturally came to Kumogakure's head."

Tetsuya felt that it sounded quite reasonable, and the request was for investigation rather than arresting people or carrying out terrorist attacks in Kumogakure, so he asked:
"It sounds simple. Let's just go investigate."

Speaking of this, Zheya suddenly felt something was wrong:

"Isn't it too simple?"

After hearing his question, Kakuzu, who was packing his luggage, answered:

"how?"

"A ninja disappeared while on a mission. Why isn't the investigation of this matter carried out by the ANBU in the village? Why did the Tsuchikage ask our Akatsuki organization? We are rebel ninjas."

"Hmm? Maybe there's something wrong with that boy Onoki's brain."

Regarding this question, Kakuzu answered very perfunctorily.

"It is estimated that it is really possible that Kumogakure did this, and Iwagakure is not clean here. This team of Iwagakure may not have disappeared due to normal tasks. Ohnoki is very clear about this, and he will definitely find out if the investigation continues. There was a head-on conflict with Kumo Hidden, and finally I wanted to borrow the power of the Akatsuki organization to find out what Kumo Hidden was doing."

"In this way, even if something happens, it has nothing to do with Yan Yin, right?"

"Even if you have some insights and a rich imagination, we don't need to worry about the complicated relationships here anyway. We can just do whatever the leader asks us to do."

The detailed analysis did not make Kakuzu applaud, he just said lightly:

"Rather than caring about what's hidden in this mission, I'm actually curious about what the meaning of your code name is?"

What he was talking about was the codename "中" that Tetsuya came up with for himself.

Kakuzu also asked about this before the meeting.

But Tetsuya didn't tell him, and just kept it a secret. It wasn't until the meeting started and Payne introduced the newcomers that Kakuzu knew that he had come up with such a code name.
