"So far, if we are in the same situation, the other people should have gathered around. The reason why they haven't come yet can be defined as the same accomplice."

The most experienced Kakuzu spoke calmly. Although he was always good at hiding his emotions, he could still feel a little tired and unhappy from those eyes at this moment. After all, for ninjas, vigilance towards others is absolutely indispensable. Those who fail to do this are basically already sleeping underground. If it weren't for the unusual relationship between Konan and Nagato, it would have been impossible for Kakuzu and others to gather in this area.

Of course, what troubles Kakuzu the most is that the industry of Amegakure Village, which has finally recovered, and the booming Raimaru business will no longer have contact with him. The losses are not just a few. One hundred or tens of millions of taels, but countless profits higher than these two figures.

"Thank you for trusting me at this time. Please take a rest in the Country of Waves for the time being."

Xiaonan's voice came along with the sound of slight footsteps. Xiaonan, who was wearing a princess costume, had obviously just attended a meeting as Princess Shuijing, and was now able to take some time to deal with the affairs of the Akatsuki organization.

As a ninja, Konan's emotions and expressions were perfectly concealed. She completely concealed her hatred and sorrow into the depths of her eyes, and instead used a calm and calm attitude as much as possible to deal with the two groups who came to 'take refuge'. Members communicate, if this is not the case, there may be no hope and power for revenge at all.

"Ah~ You don't need to thank us for your trust. The main thing is that we don't even know what's going on. In order to prevent someone from being killed for no reason, ah, although I can't die. So, come to the former boss There is nothing wrong with a woman here."

Hidan, who was lying on the floor with his arms propped up on his head, yawned out of boredom. Although the words were a bit harsh, fortunately they were not lies.

"That's it. Originally, when we joined the Akatsuki organization, we just wanted to prevent ourselves from being chased by boring guys again. The Akatsuki organization provides shelter and we provide obedience. However, now that it has become this situation, we don't want to lose what we have worked hard for so long. Benefit."

Scorpion, who was adjusting a puppet, spoke calmly without raising his head. The meaning was very clear. It was not that he couldn't let go of the Akatsuki organization, but that he couldn't let go of the industries that he had accumulated after working hard in the past few years, such as the Hands of the Country of Waves. Set up a factory.

"So, now we still need to understand what a person's attitude is."

Deidara also had a rather unhappy look on his face: "It's that mercury lamp guy. She proposed and implemented the factory and business plans. If she is also involved in this rebellion, then what does she mean?"

This name obviously made the five Akatsuki members here think deeply. After all, just like Deidara said, the Akatsuki organization can have its current profit industry basically because of the help and plans of Mercury Lamp. . Moreover, the most important thing is indeed Mercury Lamp's other identity, that is Hinata Hinata, the eldest daughter of the Hyuga clan in Konoha Village.

Although everyone in the Akatsuki organization is tacit about this secret, it does not mean that they do not know the importance of this identity. Becoming one of the ruling elders of Konoha Village at a young age is simply more difficult than becoming Hokage to some extent. Moreover, the other party did use this identity to allow the Akatsuki Organization and the Leaf Village to benefit from each other a lot in private business channels. Now, whether Xiaonan wants revenge or wants to survive, what must be clear is the other party's attitude.

"You still have the nerve to accuse me? I have dealt with the village's affairs in the past few days, and it turns out that the Akatsuki organization has made such a big mess. As an investor, I am the one who should appeal, right?"

However, just as if someone had arrived, before Deidara's complaints disappeared in the hall, a cold wind mixed with snowflakes blew up the door curtain of the hall arbitrarily. The next moment, a figure was already accompanying him. The snowflakes came suddenly, and the voices coming out in the cold wind were obviously a little chilly.

With a black skirt, white hair, and the iconic wings on her back, there is only one person in the Akatsuki organization who is dressed like this, and it is Akatsuki Sorachan Mercury Lantern.

Mercury Lamp will naturally not ignore what other Akatsuki members discovered. In addition to the reminder of the seal ring, the other reason is naturally the tricks she did on the initiator, Uchiha Izumi. However, it was not difficult to find out about Nagato's death. What really worried her was what the remaining members of the Akatsuki organization would do. Except for the three people who rebelled, Izumi, Zetsu, and Kisame, Itachi is also gone. Among the other six people who stayed, except for Konan and Mercury Lantern, they were the first two groups to die in the original work.

Therefore, you must at least know what the plans of these two groups are, whether they are planning to run away or follow the traitors to continue to implement the so-called plan to unify the Akatsuki organization. This is what Mercury Lamp needs to know.

Now it seems that we can roughly understand the thoughts of this group of people. In one sentence: it is difficult to give up the achievements and benefits of hard work so far. Needless to say, Kakuzu, who regards wealth as his life, must not want to go from the current life of a consortium owner with a stable income to the bloody life of the past, where he made money by killing people. Hidan's personal motivations are a little more vague. On the surface, it seems like he doesn't care as long as he can kill people, but in reality, that's not the case.

To put it simply, it still lies in the ‘benefits’ he can enjoy. Although Hidan is immortal, his body is not indestructible and does not have the ability to heal itself. If he was dismembered or decapitated again, it would be absolutely impossible for him to rejoin his limbs on his own. In this way, even if he leaves the organization and works alone, if he encounters a ruthless character and is cut into pieces, it will be of no use even if he does not die. And the only person in the world who can sew broken limbs back together is probably Jiaodu who masters the secret technique of Earth Resentment and Yu. Only with Kakuzu by his side can Hidan's immortal body truly be considered immortal.

Therefore, it can be basically concluded that if Kakuzu goes to whichever side, Hidan will most likely follow him. This is not for others, but for Hidan's own consideration.

As for Deidara and Scorpion, the motivations of these two artists are even simpler: they hope to promote their own artistic concepts, and currently the only ones that can help them realize this wish are the Handicraft Factory of the Country of Waves and Konoha Village film and television crew. Others, who either have no vision or foresight, may be willing to invest in this, but they are absolutely unable to continue to develop it.

If the Sapphire Group is compared to two thousand-mile horses in the art world, maybe Bole is more than one mercury lamp, but with Bole's vision and businessman's ability and skill, the only Bole who can make these two thousand-mile horses well-known in the world is mercury lamp. .

Therefore, what really worries the Sapphire Team is not that Nagato is dead or that they will be hunted down again, but whether the two of them have lost their recognized value in the eyes of Mercury Lantern.

"I can understand what you mean here is that you are a friend rather than an enemy, right?"

Therefore, after seeing the mercury lamp appear, the faces of the Sapphire Group and the Kakufei Group subconsciously softened. But Xiaonan's face still did not relax. The Sapphire Group and the Kakufei Group both had their own value. Even if the mercury lamp defected to Uchiha Izumi, they could still continue to cooperate. But in this case, what she has to do here is probably to get rid of Konan, who is the 'remnant', and truly take back the country of waves that she has spent so much effort to build. After all, Shui Jing The identity of the princess itself belongs to her.

Therefore, Xiaonan would rather ask clearly before making a decision. She was never a woman who was afraid of death, but she just didn't want to be kept in the dark.

"Of course, as a businessman seeking stability, how could I support such a rebellion that would bring about huge changes?"

Mercury Lamp chuckled slightly, and her words once again brought a sense of relaxation.

"So, I'm here to arrange a new plan for you. Anyway, Konoha's affairs are settled for the time being."

(PS1: Well~ in short, half of the Akatsuki organization belongs to us~~ As for the others, it’s fine if you don’t want them.)

(PS2: Should I say to Nagato, ‘I will support you as your wife’? Um...)

chain

Pain is something that humans and even living creatures have tried their best to avoid while they still exist. What they represent is not only physical scars or torture, but also the pain outside the physical body. Although it does not involve the body, it will cause the emotional heart of the creature to be stung more sharply.

Naruto was sitting alone on his knees at the edge of the Konoha quarry. The corpses here had been hurriedly cleaned up, but the traces left on the ground were still there. Not only were there shocking blood stains, there was also a huge radiating pit. It was as if a large chunk had been roughly dug out of the solid rock by some indescribable force. This location was at the entrance area of ​​the quarry prison.

It can be seen from the extremely smooth traces on the surrounding rocks how terrible the attack that caused this trace was. I am afraid that it directly annihilated everything in this area, not only hard rocks or metal ninja tools, but also certain objects. The voices and smiles of these people.

And among them was the person that Naruto was familiar with. To Naruto, he was a teacher and a person who was undoubtedly a friend despite the age difference, but at this moment, he couldn't even express obvious sadness.

The entire Konoha Village is excited for the upcoming election of the Sixth Hokage, and all families are cheering for the establishment of the Senate system. No one knew that a man who was dedicated to the safety of Konoha but remained unknown was sacrificed in this area.

In fact, because of the earlier plan to fake death, not many people even know that Jiraiya is really dead. Even seeing the sadness in Naruto, it was impossible to know what the reason was.

Therefore, Naruto could only be alone, and would rather sit here alone, mourning his teacher in this silent way.

And in the woods that can be seen from a distance, two figures are sitting quietly on the branches looking at Naruto in the distance. They are none other than Hagoromo Kitsune and Kuro Naruko.

Obviously, when they prevented Naruto from going to the quarry, both of them realized that the situation was different. Kuroko is naturally able to see the worst side of everything, which is a talent she has that is different from Naruto's. The Hagoromo Fox not only has sufficient experience in judging the situation, but she also has part of the second-generation Hokage's way of thinking about things, so the common decision made is that Naruto is not allowed to participate in this matter.

"It really surprises me. I originally thought you would let him out without hesitation, but I didn't expect you to stop him. How about it? How does it feel to be doubted and even resented by your beloved son now?"

Leaning against the tree in boredom, Naruko's tone rarely returned to its previous sarcastic tone. It was obvious that she was tired of trying to be a 'good sister' and 'good daughter' on a daily basis. .

"I am not qualified to be respected and loved by that child. No matter how many reasons there are, it is an indisputable fact that I left him in the first place. Therefore, as long as I can do good for him, it is natural even if I incur resentment."

Hugging his knees and lowering his head, Hagoromo Fox's tone was also unusually tired. The memory of being a mother has always made it difficult for her to let go. Even if she usually restrains and suppresses Naruto, she just hopes to repay it to the maximum extent.

"This is really tiring. Instead of this kind of scarred love, wouldn't it be better to let go and hate each other for once? Ha, forget it, it's rare for me to be free anyway, let's see if you guys can last until When. In the meantime, I will continue to play the role of daughter and sister."

With a sneer, Kuronaruko's words also brought a strong personal touch. She is not Naruto, and she is not even a complete personality. Hidden deep in her heart is always the resentment of being hated and excluded since she was a child. However, this resentment can still be a reason for tolerance at some times, for example, trying to put him out. The evil thoughts that accumulated until they were the most intense burst out in one breath.

Holding Hagoromo Kitsune's waist like a baby, Kuronaruko put her head on the other's lap and stretched out comfortably: "Okay, dear Kitsune mother, I'm going to take a nap, what?" When that idiot brother comes to his senses, please wake me up again."

"At that time, we can still continue to live home as a happy family."

Therefore, it is quite a safe approach to tie important characters up with chains. Even in reality, when you know that some employees have excellent business capabilities, it is natural to add links to them. Of course, the chains here are not those physical iron chains. Iron chains and the like are just things made by humans, and the people who are tied can only be temporarily disabled. Because human beings are one of the creatures that can resist. They will look for keys, use tools to cut off iron chains, and even amputate part of the limbs tied by iron chains to survive by breaking off their wrists.

Therefore, if you want to tie people up, you have to use things that humans can't resist. More generous salaries, more senior positions, and even more comprehensive benefits and security are all one of these invisible chain types. If you choose well, you can gain the so-called ‘loyalty’ that is natural to you.

After all, in one sentence, what can become a chain for human beings is none other than what they desire in their hearts. How strong this desire is, how strong it will be when it becomes a chain.

Now that we have known for a long time that Naruto and Sasuke are the most decisive characters in this world and this era, and they have been around from the beginning. So, how could Hinata not weave enough chains for these two people?

It's just that for these two people, what can become their chain is not money or status, but the unforgettable friendship in human blood. The only difference is that Naruto has never had one, so what he needs is relatives and family from the 'past'. Sasuke had it but lost it in the end, so what he needs is a "future" relative and family who can help him completely get out of the haze.

Therefore, Hinata used completely different methods and focuses on these two people. What was given to Naruto was a "mother" who came back from the dead, and what was given to Sasuke was a "sister" who could identify with him and support him to get out of the haze. To this end, Hinata spent a lot of energy and time, but so far, the strength of these two chains has indeed reached a very good level.

Although, as of now, one of the chains is slightly AWOL.

In the dark giant basement, even though it was sitting cross-legged, the outside demon statue was still almost reaching the ceiling. It was silent because the tailed beast chakra it had absorbed so far was not enough. This terrifying creature had not yet fully awakened, but it was just its shriveled body. The body has already brought an indescribable spookiness to the surroundings.

Izumi Uchiha knelt down on the cushion opposite the heretic demon. Now her dress was completely different from before. Not only was she wearing a thick black ninja uniform, but the fan and hook held in her left and right hands added to her murderous aura. . As if sensing the approach of chakra, she slowly opened her eyes and looked at the ground to one side. In her eye sockets, the white eye on the left no longer existed, replaced by an eye with purple reincarnation markings. It is one of the reincarnation eyes taken from Nagato!
