Naruto: I've already fought against all five Kage, and the system only just arrived.

But if the enemy they face doesn't belong to this era, and their fame is renowned throughout the ninja world, then what will the outcome be?

"Pain is dead. I now take control of the Akatsuki."

After the projection arrived, Yu Yi Xuan Yue surveyed the situation and spoke.

"So, Sasori of the Red Sand, what is your choice?"

The scorpion remained silent.

Deidara chimed in, "Brother Sasori, what are you hesitating for? We can continue being the artistic duo. Don't tell me you're truly loyal to Pain. That would be quite a surprise to me. Hmm!"

Sasori glanced at Deidara and finally spoke:

"Now that Payne is dead, what about Konan?"

Sasori joined Akatsuki because Konan defeated him.

He surprisingly considered Xiao Nan's paper escape technique to be a beautiful art form.

When Scorpion suddenly asked about Xiao Nan's situation, it wasn't because he had a deep affection for her.

I just suddenly felt like asking.

Yu Yi Xuan Yue didn't hide anything: "Pain made a deal with me before he died, the price being that Konan left. She has now left Akatsuki, and as for where she went, I have no interest in knowing."

The scorpion understood.

After a while, he finally nodded and said, "In that case, I'll join. But I have one condition."

"explain."

Sasori, expressionless, looked at Deidara, who was affectionately leaning in without any awareness, shifted his body to create some distance, and then said to Hagoromo Gengetsu:

"I will never team up with Deidara again in the future!"

Upon hearing this, Deidara felt as if struck by lightning: "Brother Sasori, we are both artists who strive for great works. We are a match made in heaven, we can't be separated! Yes!"

Scorpion gave a cold laugh, too lazy to bother with him.

Over the years, the biggest loss he has suffered has been at the hands of his peers.

Again?

He was afraid he wouldn't be able to resist making the first move.

Yu Yi Xuan Yue glanced at Sasori, then at Deidara, and to prevent the two from fighting each other in private, she agreed:

"can."

Scorpion breathed a sigh of relief.

Deidara looked somewhat disappointed.

From then on, the artistic duo went their separate ways.

The Akatsuki organization has a total of ten members.

With Pain, Itachi Uchiha's death, Orochimaru's defection, Konan's departure, and Zetsu still following Obito Uchiha, Hagoromo Gengetsu could only recruit a total of five Akatsuki members.

Now, only one person remains.

Sasuke's place, the once beautiful mountain hot spring resort, is now completely in ruins.

After defeating Kisame, Sasuke was dealing with the remaining Amaterasu flames to prevent the mountain beneath his feet and everything nearby from burning down.

When he returned after cleaning up the mess, he found that Yu Yi Xuan Yue's phantom form had already appeared in front of Kisame, who was bound all over.

Yu Yi Xuan Yue glanced back at Sasuke, nodded, and then continued to Kisame, "The Rinnegan and the Gedo Mazo are now with me. I will be responsible for completing the Eye of the Moon Plan. So, will you continue to follow the so-called 'Uchiha Madara'? Or will you come to me?"

Kisame chose to join Akatsuki because he agreed with Madara Uchiha's ideas and the Eye of the Moon Plan.

To his surprise, Yu Yi Xuan Yue also knew about these things and even took all the relevant results.

Having witnessed Hagoromo Gengetsu's strength firsthand, Kisame suddenly felt that having Hagoromo Gengetsu carry out the Eye of the Moon plan might have a much higher success rate than having "Uchiha Madara" do it.

He was eager to see if the world would turn out the way he had envisioned once the plan succeeded.

then.

Kisame glanced at Hagoromo Gengetsu, then at Uchiha Sasuke behind him.

His gaze shifted away from those Sharingan eyes.

After some hesitation and thought, he looked at Yu Yi Xuan Yue and slowly nodded.

With this, the Akatsuki organization had completed its takeover.

Yu Yi Xuan Yue immediately instructed, "Perfect timing, the Akatsuki organization has a mission right now."

Chapter 221 Extracting the Tailed Beast

Inside a dark cave.

The enormous demonic statue sat cross-legged, with seven figures, some illusory and some real, standing on its ten thick fingers, their hands forming mudras, motionless.

At the center of the seven, Han, the Five-Tails Jinchuriki who had been unconscious, rose into the air, his Five-Tails chakra continuously leaking out and flowing into the mouth of the Gedo Mazo.

One of the demonic statues, which had been tightly closed, gradually showed signs of opening.

At this moment, the entire cave was very quiet, except for the sound of chakra flowing.

At one point, Deidara, whose body was a seven-colored magic lantern, looked around boredly, yawned while maintaining his hand seals, and finally couldn't help but complain:

"I thought with a new leader, Akatsuki would come up with something new. But the first mission is still this. So boring! Just sitting here all the time, there's absolutely no artistry involved. Hmm."

Upon hearing this, Sasori, to Deidara's left, completely ignored Deidara and continued to concentrate on his work with his eyes closed.

To Deidara's right, Kisame, also in his illusionary form, grinned and said, "Be content, Deidara. Before, the Gedo Mazo took two days to absorb the Tailed Beasts, but now that the new leader has arrived, it only takes one day. That's good enough."

“Yes, this way we can save time and earn some extra money.” Kakuzu, who had arrived in his true form, opened his eyes and agreed.

With a new leader, one has to show their attitude.

As an extremely old man, Kakuzu was well aware of this.

Hearing the commotion, Uchiha Izumi and Uchiha Jun, who were also present in their true forms, opened their eyes and looked curiously at the Akatsuki members.

They had only known about how mysterious and powerful this organization was from intelligence reports, and that even Itachi Uchiha, who killed members of the Uchiha clan, had joined it and become one of its members.

I never imagined that one day I would be fighting with these people, and now we are standing side by side, working together.

It's quite unexpected.

It can only be said that fate is truly wondrous.

Those appearing here today to participate in the mission of extracting the tailed beasts are Uchiha Izumi, Uchiha Jun, and Kakuzu in their physical forms; and Deidara, Sasori, and Kisame in their phantom forms.

The last one was Yu Yi Xuan Yue's clone.

As for Sasuke, due to the distance and the fact that he did not possess the Akatsuki Ring made with the power of the Rinnegan, he was unable to participate in the tailed beast extraction mission, so he returned first.

Standing on the thumb of the Gedo Mazo that Pain used to stand on, the Hagoromo Gengetsu clone slowly opened his eyes, revealing a pair of purple, swirling Rinnegan eyes.

Yu Yi Xuan Yue herself did not have the Rinnegan installed.

He was very clear about one thing.

To unleash Infinite Tsukuyomi in the future, one must become the Ten-Tails' Jinchūriki, absorb the power of the Divine Tree, and awaken the Moon Eye, which is the opening of the brow. This eye possesses the ripples of the Rinnegan, the red appearance of the Sharingan, and the Rinne Sharingan with its tomoe.

Only in this way can the Infinite Tsukuyomi, which covers the entire world, be released towards the moon.

However, there is a problem: the Rinne Sharingan belongs to Kaguya Otsutsuki.

In the original story, Madara awakened the Rinne Sharingan by actually obtaining Kaguya's power.

Even without Black Zetsu's backstab, Madara, who had absorbed all the power of the God Tree and awakened the Rinne Sharingan, would have been replaced by Kaguya sooner or later.

Yu Yi Xuan Yue had no interest in injecting strange things into her body.

Since it's destined to be a pawn, let the clone do the Infinite Tsukuyomi.

To this end, he had previously modified and enhanced his clone, and now he replaced Shisui's original Mangekyou Sharingan with the Rinnegan, so that the clone could quickly master the Rinnegan and the Gedo Mazo.

As for Madara, who could easily control the Gedo Mazo and absorb the Tailed Beasts as easily as drinking water, he simply used a few chains to suck all nine Tailed Beasts that had escaped into the Gedo Mazo and quickly reassemble them into the Ten-Tails.

It's impossible to talk about Yu Yi Xuan Yue's clone.

Even the main body cannot do that.

This is not a question of strength.

As the true master of the Rinnegan and the first person to obtain the Gedo Mazo, it can only be said that Madara's authority over the Rinnegan and the Gedo Mazo is higher than Nagato's. Furthermore, he now has too many clones, and even if Nagato trains as hard as he does, he will never be able to unleash the full power of the Rinnegan.

Of course, if Yu Yi Xuan Yue's true form were to join the queue for extracting tailed beasts at this moment, the speed would be much faster.

However, he had other things to do, so he left this place to his clone.

Listening to his subordinates chatting, Yu Yi Xuan Yue's clone interjected:

"It won't be a one-day event. This extraction of the tailed beasts will last for two days. Soon, the Six-Tails Jinchuriki will arrive."

"To have a new tailed beast so quickly, as expected of Hagoromo-sensei, so efficient," Kisame said in a good mood.

The biggest reason that drove him to submit to Yu Yi Xuan Yue was the Eye of the Moon Project.

Seeing that the plan was progressing faster and faster, he was naturally happy.

Deidara curled his lip in response.

Although he was annoyed, he didn't dare to refuse Yu Yi Xuan Yue, especially since Yu Yi Xuan Yue had switched to the Rinnegan. He felt like he had two bosses at his disposal.

As for Kakuzu and Sasori, the two who had just surrendered naturally had no objections.

Uchiha Izumi and Uchiha Jun were always very obedient.

So, the overtime work was a success.

Mount Katsuragi.

When Yu Yi Xuan Yue returned here, Ying, Yu Gao, and Dun Bing Wei all obediently stayed inside.

"Get ready to move," Yu Yi Xuan Yue instructed directly.

"Huh?" Ying and Dunbingwei looked puzzled.
