Now that he has gotten what he wants to know, Payne has no intention of making things difficult for Izumi Uchiha. After all, she has shown enough strength, and the construction concept of the Akatsuki organization itself is to absorb the strong and become the world's number one rebel ninja organization. Originally, Payne was still feeling sorry for Itachi's death, but now there is Uchiha Izumi, a seemingly stronger Uchiha clan, which can be regarded as a blessing in disguise.

Uchiha Izumi looked at the red Suzaku ring handed over by Pain in his palm. There was no doubt that this was the ring that Pain had recovered using psychic techniques after Itachi's death. Before that, it had always been Wear it on Itachi's finger.

"No...this...is fine."

No matter how indifferent she was, Uchiha Izumi's eyes still showed a little sadness after seeing the thing left by Itachi. She silently put the ring on her right ring finger, and then raised her head. Waiting for Payne's next order.

"Very good, then Akatsuki Suzaku has officially returned. The Akatsuki organization has always been a two-person operation, so Izumi will be a team with Mercury Lantern. The remaining Kisame and Zetsu will be a team, so be happy that the Akatsuki organization is full. Everyone."

A dark light flashed through Payne's eyes. Of course, he would not trust others easily. Whether it was the Uchiha Izumi who came to the door by himself, or the mercury lamp who had always felt aloof, but in the current situation, there was no way to abandon this. If there are two women who are both very powerful in combat, then simply throw them into a group and let them toss and toss as they please. Anyway, as long as the task can be completed, the rest is not important.

"Please take good care of me, Xiaoquan. Although this is not the first time we have met, we can now work in the same organization and in the same group. This can be regarded as our fate."

Walking forward with a smile, the mercury lamp did not intend to cover up her left eye. Anyone who is not blind can see that her eyes and Uchiha Izumi's eyes are exactly the same pair of eyes. Payne probably also considered this. It was only a little while ago that I decided to let the two of them form a team.

"Hmph, then you'd better settle down."

Uchiha Izumi doesn't have any hatred towards the mercury lamp now. After all, her hatred is now concentrated on Danzo and the other two high-level Konoha officials. Yes, she is talking about Koharu and Mito Kadoen. These two immortals also participated in the strategy of dealing with the Uchiha clan, and they finally agreed to Danzo's plan to exterminate the clan. It was fitting that they also became the targets of Uchiha Izumi's revenge.

As for Hinata Hinata, another elder, she was just a little girl who knew nothing when the Uchiha clan was exterminated, and she is now Sasuke's immediate boss, so Izumi Uchiha has no intention of dealing with her.

"Let's keep in touch with each other in private time. Now, we have to catch up with all the progress that was delayed before. Regarding the capture of the tailed beast, Mercury Lantern has successfully captured the first Shukaku, so you only have the last one left. Just. Absolutely, tell them the information."

According to the allocation method of a total of nine tailed beasts, each group of Akatsuki members basically have to capture two tailed beasts. Since they have absolutely no fighting power, they don't have to do the work of a combatant.

"Hey~ What I'm going to talk about this time is the three tails. Traces of it were found in a lake. Since the two tails have been missing, we can only continue down from the three tails first."

Bai Jue's tone was also a little helpless. No matter how hard they searched, they could not find Erwei's whereabouts, as if the big cat had evaporated from the world. But I couldn’t let the progress slip, so I had to start with the third tail.

"Very good, then Mercury Lamp and Izumi will go capture the three-tailed beasts. Others, go capture the tailed beasts from the fourth-tailed to the seventh-tailed beast. The eight-tailed and nine-tailed beasts have not yet found a suitable opportunity."

Pain obviously did not intend to waste any more time, but simply issued his order. After all, only when enough tailed beasts can show their power, and now it happened that the Hokage of Konoha Village was assassinated, so other ninja villages will With attention focused on this aspect, the supervision of the tailed beasts and jinchūriki will definitely be relaxed.

(PS1: Ah~~Kavin ah Kavin~~How about Hinata’s real name is Kavin~~)

(PS2: I almost got scorched by the sun a few days ago. It has been raining non-stop these days and I can’t even go out...ah~~I really want to eat fried chicken...)

Profit-driven ninja

For Mito Kado and Koharu, it feels like their good cards have been played badly. It was a peaceful and good day, but the fifth generation Hokage was suddenly assassinated, and then Jiraiya, a super shadow-level master, followed suit. Currently, only Danzo is left jumping up and down to become the sixth generation Hokage.

And anyone who understands knows that Danzo's character is really not suitable for being Hokage. Although he and the Third Generation are indeed good friends and competitors, and were once strong contenders for the position of the Third Hokage, this does not mean that his philosophy of doing things is the same as the Third Generation. On the contrary, his methods and ideas are basically the opposite of the Sandaime.

He advocates being uncompromising, using drastic methods to eliminate internal and external troubles, and using tough methods to promote the growth and development of Konoha.

Such an idea cannot be completely wrong, but what is certain is that it is definitely not applicable. Especially as human society becomes more and more civilized, barbaric and crude methods are more likely to be resisted. Civilization is always the opposite of barbarism. thing.

Now is no longer an era when resources are so scarce that people have to rob to make ends meet. What women in Konoha Village talk about most is no longer about food, rice, oil and salt, but more about exchanging opinions on opera and cosmetics. Men no longer just work as hard labor, but begin to have more new jobs of different natures. At this time, it is no longer practical to ask others to sacrifice everything to satisfy the leader's ambitions and desires.

Therefore, at least Mito Kaden and Koharu are a little better than Danzo, that is, they can still see clearly the current situation of Konoha Village, and they can feel the differences in the new era to some extent. As a person who is so persistent that he is almost unchangeable, Danzo fails to grasp reality well.

Or, he has felt it, but is unwilling to admit this reality for his own obsession.

"So, is the fish ready? It's a rare paid day off, and don't tell me you don't like it."

Hinata sat cross-legged leisurely on the soft cushions of the izakaya, and the people surrounding her were the current members of Hinata's group. Because of things like Tsunade's assassination, Konoha's field missions have been temporarily cancelled. During this time, the ninjas are shrinking inside the village to prevent accidents. Naturally, other things can't be done, so Hinata generously issued a paid vacation order to her organization. The first vacation activity is to have a buffet barbecue at the best izakaya in Konoha Village. .

"Ah~ It'll be ready soon, please wait a moment."

Ino and Sakura, who were in charge of the barbecue, felt a little overwhelmed, but fortunately they had Tiantian to help them, so their workload was actually not that big. What really makes them lose their minds is their mood problems.

"Well, at this time, we are still eating barbecue so arrogantly... It feels a bit uncomfortable..."

Sitting by the window, Kiba was a little embarrassed. After all, although the news of Jiraiya's sacrifice could not be made public, there was no problem in circulating it within Hinata's team. This was Hinata's right as an elder. She could let her team members We knew some confidential information earlier.

The current situation is that Sakura and Ino's masters were assassinated and their lives are unknown. Naruto's master is said to have died in the battle, but as the leader, Hinata holds such a collective entertainment event, which is indeed a bit inconsistent.

"The memorial service can be held later, but if I'm not mistaken, now should be the last gathering for us to be completely busy."

Hinata closed her eyes slightly, and what she said did indeed make the surrounding team members subconsciously focus their attention. They are qualified ninjas after all, and they still have some basic ability to judge the situation, although they are not aware of the main points for the time being. Where is the crisis, but the feeling that a storm is coming is unmistakable.

"That's right~ Sasuke-kun, and Naruto, please stop being so gloomy and eat a little."

Trying to force a smile, Sakura's actions and words made both Sasuke and Naruto frown subconsciously.

There is no doubt that both men are undergoing considerable inner suffering right now.

Although Sasuke looks cold due to the shadow of his childhood, he is definitely not a person without friendship, but it is difficult to change the direction of his emotional concentration. In the original work, revenge is always a general direction he identifies, and in this direction he does It is not difficult to understand the things he said about abandoning Sakura and Xiang Ling, because this is a necessary step on his own road to revenge.

But now, in his eyes, the hatred of the family has been bought and sold with the death of Itachi Uchiha. In addition, this time Hinata began to instill the family's belief in revitalization three years ago, and his current emotional direction should be to revitalize the family. Zhen Uchiha clan. To put it more intuitively, Sakura and Ino can be regarded as the necessary "helpers" for him to achieve this general direction. It is impossible to say that Sasuke does not have some feelings for them. In this case, Uchiha Izumi, whom he regarded as a relative, assassinated their master Tsunade. This feeling of guilt for the two people cannot be shaken off.

As for Naruto, this is easier to understand, because the so-called sacrifice of Jiraiya is just a lie he told according to the plan explained by the other party. And the more he saw his companions comforting and accommodating him because of this lie, the more uncomfortable he felt all over.

"That's what I said... Although I don't have a concrete feeling, I always have a feeling that something big is going to happen soon. It might not be a bad thing to finally relax at this time."

Shikamaru, who has excellent intuition and IQ, also spoke up to smooth things over, but Neji, who was sitting next to him, couldn't help but said: "But, Hinata-sama? Tomorrow is the official selection meeting of the Sixth Hokage held by the Daimyo. You Don’t you really need to make some preparations?”

"That's right... my family complained to me today, saying that a group of root ninjas suddenly came to investigate the ninja tools. Fortunately, they were blocked... If their leader Danzo really became the Sixth Hokage , I still don’t know what will happen to these guys..."

Tiantian also spoke worriedly. Although this behavior similar to forcing Hinata also made her a little ashamed, for the sake of her family, she could only bite the bullet and say it.

Because this time, with the support of the Hinata group, Tiantian's family has also increased a lot of efforts in the development of ninja tools, including the current new vests, which are all from their family, so they have made a lot of money. After a stroke of luck, it is completely reasonable for Gen Ren to come to check the water and meter. Tsunade's gentle governance could allow her to tolerate this kind of ninja tool development organization that was not part of Konoha's official organization, but Danzo's magnanimity and way of doing things would definitely not allow her to indulge.

Now, the purpose of letting the Gennin come to the door in advance is to give the Tenten family a blow. They must either give up the facilities for developing ninja tools during this period, or surrender to the Gennin during this period. Otherwise, when Danzo officially comes to power, they may be waiting for them. Just slap him with a hat and then confiscate his property.

Therefore, Tiantian is actually quite eager to sue Hinata, and this party is exactly what she wants.

"Speaking of this...a wave of Gennin also went to the Ninja Dog Training Base today. Although I didn't want to say it at first, but...ahem..."

Kiba, who runs a ninja dog training base at home, couldn't sit still at this time. As a thin-skinned person, he was obviously embarrassed to directly ask for help, but if he didn't ask Hinata for help, the Inuzuka family might also have to fight with him. The Tenten family has come to an end. Although the Inuzuka family is a ninja family with some foundation, the Uchiha family can still be dealt with by Danzo. Presumably the Inuzuka family is just a plate of braised dog meat to him. the point.

"Actually... my family is in a similar situation... Those root ninjas said they wanted to see the formula of the new military food pills and ninja dog food... My father didn't allow it, but I can see that those guys won't give up... "

The last one to speak was Choji. Needless to say, his family was engaged in the business of ninja dog military rations and a large number of new military ration pills. The reason for being beaten by the Gen-nin was the same as above.

Yes, this is Hinata's main purpose of holding this gathering at this time, which is to confirm the target that Danzo is currently focusing on and to give his subordinates a reassurance.

It can be seen that Danzo does not intend to continue to let Hinata go. At this time, he has begun to investigate the families related to the Hinata group. This is a good illustration. If he waits for him to take power, he may have the intention to bring these Hinata groups under his control. All the property was confiscated, which is also in line with the thoughts and ideas of a dictator like Danzo.

"Damn it! Why is it like this! Isn't it too abominable? Is this obviously an attempt to blackmail?!"

Naruto, who had the most innocent mind, couldn't help but protest, which made Shikamaru next to him frown slightly: "Please lower your voice, this is the so-called politics. After all, I have heard about the rule of Danzo's line. My philosophy is different from that of Tsunade-sama, so it is not surprising at all that they would take back these sensitive ninja industries, and..."

At this point, Shikamaru's face also showed a little displeasure: "Although it's not the Nara family's turn yet, but based on the Nara family's supply of blood pills, I'm afraid they won't let it go easily. I guess I want to show my attitude at this time, but I don’t want to make too many enemies. Once I’m stable, I won’t be so polite.”

Shikamaru's analysis undoubtedly cast a gloom on the faces of the young men who have property at home. This time they have made much larger profits because they relied on the Hinata group, but if they grow too fat, they will be slaughtered. of. In terms of treating the profits of their subordinates, Tsunade's family is a relatively gentle chicken-raising pie. As long as you lay eggs and pay taxes on time, you will be satisfied. However, Danzo's family is an out-and-out pig-raising family. When he sees you getting fat, he will just pick up the butcher's knife and prepare to chop it whole and put it in the pot.

Comparing these two methods, let's not talk about the specific profit and whether the form is desirable, but the degree of fear is undoubtedly that Danzo's group is better.
