Chapter 735: A Complicated Relationship!
Chapter 735: A Complicated Relationship!
Literally speaking, it was gone.
The Great Sage of the Moon, Otsutsuki Shijin, who had jumped onto the back of the puppet giant bird, mysteriously disappeared.
"This..."
Tang Ping, who had just arrived, felt that this scene was somewhat familiar.
When they had intercepted the father and son earlier, hadn't the father also escaped using this trick?
First, he merged with the puppet and then disappeared without a trace.
The Shinobi World was full of various abilities, even including space travel, time reversal, and resurrection. This escape ability was already quite restrained.
At this moment, the members of Akatsuki began to arrive one after another.
Except for Sasori, Deidara, Kakuzu, and Hidan, who were a bit slower, the others were frighteningly fast, as if they wanted to 'help.'
Hmm, seeing Pain having the upper hand and the enemy in a weakened state, who wouldn't want to capture such an Ultra-Shadow level powerhouse?
Especially after witnessing Hiryuko's 'Devil Bud Technique,' they were all eager to 'help.'
It could be said that the members of Akatsuki were indeed shrewd.
But it didn't matter; as long as Pain was strong enough, no one would dare to make a move.
However, this man called Otsutsuki Shijin was the perfect prey.
He was heavily injured and had no backing, making him the ideal target.
Just then, four figures were spit out by the giant head, and Hell Path successfully restored these four Pains.
The six Pains stood on stone pillars, their pressure fully unleashed, drawing everyone's attention.
"Danzo, if you want to join Akatsuki, you must first prove your worth!"
Heavenly Path Pain spoke indifferently, showing no change in attitude due to Danzo's reputation as the 'Ninja of Darkness.'
Wait a minute!
Whoever could join Akatsuki was undoubtedly famous.
If that was the case, a mere Ninja of Darkness wasn't worth much, so Chomen didn't react to Danzo's identity.
"Of course, I have no problem with that!"
Danzo remained calm.
Xiaonan, standing beside him, flashed a hint of hatred in her eyes.
From the book 'My Struggle,' she knew all about Danzo's past deeds.
One of them was his collaboration with Hanzo and their attack on the Akatsuki organization.
Danzo also had a hand in Nibi's death.
Although Chomen seemed to have forgotten this due to his 'godly' nature, Xiaonan would not.
However, she wasn't in a hurry.
She could settle the score with Danzo slowly.
Without Konoha backing him up, Danzo was no match for her.
Tang Ping was well aware of Xiaonan's grudge against Danzo, but he didn't think she could outsmart him.
Given Danzo's personality, his sudden decision to join Akatsuki must have been part of some scheme, and he wouldn't be easily outmaneuvered.
Danzo wasn't particularly strong in direct combat.
However, when it came to scheming and conspiracy, he was undoubtedly one of the best in the Shinobi World.
But... none of that mattered.
The crucial thing was for Tang Ping to find a way to stop Dai-kokuso, or Itachi, from sending out today's intelligence.
At the very least, it couldn't be sent out within the next two days.
Fortunately, the Ninken Clan had completely cut off ties with Itachi, or else stopping him wouldn't be easy.
Even if the Ninken Clan was affiliated with the Uchiha Clan, they wouldn't cooperate with a mentally twisted person like Dai-kokuso, so he was directly expelled.
Whether it was intelligence or military supplies, none of it would be made available to him.
This was also the reason why, in the original plot, Dai-kokuso, despite infiltrating the Akatsuki organization, had great difficulty transmitting intelligence.
As for how to stop him? Tang Ping already had a plan and whispered something into Xiaonan's ear.
Just as Pain was pondering how to make Danzo prove his worth, Xiaonan took the initiative to speak.
"There's a legendary ninja tool in Kusa Village that the Six Paths Sage once used, said to be able to grant any wish. Danzo, if you want to join Akatsuki, go and bring it back!"
She had no doubt about Tang Ping's intelligence and used this as a test.
In reality, this item was the 'Bliss Box.'
Tang Ping had vaguely heard about it before his crossing, as he hadn't watched the movie and only knew it was in Kusa Village.
He didn't know the details, but he was very interested in it.
He could find some information about the Six Paths Sage from this item, which was the biggest reward for him.
If he went himself, it would waste a lot of time.
Without the advantage of 'prophecy', it was unwise to send subordinates to the Tenshukaku, a strategic stronghold during the Shinobi World War, as it was not a time to spare top-tier forces.
Sending a regular team was risky; without a protagonist like Naruto, who could guarantee success?
So, sending Danzo, that detestable man, was the best choice.
After success, the item would fall into his hands.
There was no fear of the other party running away with the item, as its value wasn't that high.
Furthermore, he could send Dai-kokuso's group to 'monitor' Danzo's mission.
Hmm... This was his 'twisted sense of humor'.
Both were former Leaf Shinobi, and both were willing to sacrifice everything for their village. Now, they had become rogue ninjas of Akatsuki, and their grudges against each other were even more complex.
Letting them go on a mission together... The scene was too beautiful to imagine.
"Hiryuko, you'll go with Danzo. Itachi and Kijaku, you'll be in charge of monitoring them. If they fail, bring the item back!"
Xiaonan directly assigned the teams.
In Akatsuki, missions were carried out in pairs.
Danzo and Hiryuko were both newcomers, so it was natural to team them up.
And sending people to monitor them was standard practice before they proved their worth; it wasn't specifically targeting the two newcomers.
The six Pains stood on stone pillars without saying a word, indicating their silent agreement with Xiaonan's decision.
In fact, this was the usual way Akatsuki members interacted.
As the 'God' Pain, he naturally wouldn't involve himself in such affairs; he only needed to keep the Akatsuki members in line.
"...Good!"
Danzo glanced at Hiryuko and nodded.
The other party was also a rogue Leaf Shinobi!
If it were in the past, he would have been the target of the Root's pursuit.
But now, the two had become 'teammates', which made him feel a bit strange.
Not to mention, being monitored by the 'evil Uchiha' gave him a sense of role reversal.
After all, back in the village, it was always his Root members who kept an eye on the Uchiha.
However, hidden within Danzo's gaze towards Hiryuko was a well-concealed greed.
Devil Bud Technique! Such a powerful forbidden technique, how could he not be interested?
Being able to integrate Bloodline Limits into oneself was exactly what he needed.
Whether it was the Sharingan or Wood Style, he craved them immensely, and in the past, he could only control them using Orochimaru's techniques.
But with this forbidden technique, he could directly possess multiple Bloodline Limits, which would undoubtedly boost his strength significantly and might even allow him to reach the Ultra Shadow level.
With that kind of power, he could find a way to control Akatsuki and return to the Leaf to become the Hokage.
Yes, Danzo's original goal in joining Akatsuki was to gain control of the organization and then return to the Leaf to become the Hokage.
But now, he had a new goal.
Obtain the Devil Bud Technique!
Orochimaru, on the other hand, licked his lips in disappointment.
If only he had been sent to monitor them; there might have been an 'accident' that would have allowed him to obtain the Devil Bud Technique.
"Let's go!"
He left with Sasuke and Kabuto.
With the surgery completed and no other tasks, there was no need to stay.
After all, Akatsuki was just a loose mercenary organization and didn't keep a tight leash on its members.
"Tch, if I went, I could definitely show those Grass Ninjas my 'art'. Don't you think so, Sasori?" Deidara said with some disappointment.
He was quite enthusiastic about missions, as they allowed him to showcase his art to others.
"Let's go!"
Sasori silently turned and left.
Yes, Sasori was still unaware that his parents had been resurrected, so he remained unchanged.
"Tch, I really want to offer that guy to the Dark Deity!"
Dosu's gaze fixed on Hiryuko.
"I wonder how much that Six Paths Sage's ninja tool would sell for. It's definitely a substantial amount, so should we try to get it in advance?" Kakuzu thought silently about the dangerous situation.
And so, Tang Ping's journey to the Rain Village came to an end.
It was a fruitful trip!
Whether it was the idea of the Devil Bud Technique, the intelligence gathered, or the entertainment he witnessed, it was all worth it.
Next up was the real highlight.
