"I understand, hmm." Deidara nodded, and then changed the subject: "So, how should we deal with the little bugs following us?"
"Eliminate them!" Sasori responded coldly.
"Crap, they found us!" In the shadows of a tree not far from Sasori and Deidara, three ninjas wearing masks cried out inwardly.
"Yūki, you go first, we'll cover you!" One of the ninjas said to the youngest ninja in the middle.
"But, the guys in Akatsuki are extremely fierce, you......." The ninja named Yūki hesitated.
"There's no time to worry about that. We must report the news of the two Akatsuki members in the Land of Rivers to Lord Kaoru!" The ninja said, and then pushed Yūki: "Hurry up and go!"
"Okay..... Okay!" Yamaki nodded heavily. In order not to disappoint the expectations of the two seniors, he turned around and began to run away.
"Little bugs want to run? It's not that easy!" Deidara snorted, and then waved his hands, and two clay birds flew towards the hiding place of the three masked ninjas.
"Earth Release: Earth-Style Wall!" One of the masked ninjas formed hand seals, and an earth wall rose up, blocking the two clay birds.
"You're quite capable." A trace of a smile appeared on the corner of Deidara's mouth, and then he snorted.
"Bang!!!" The birds that crashed into the earth flow wall exploded instantly, and the power of the explosion affected the two masked ninjas!
"It actually, it actually explodes!" The two masked ninjas shouted, and their bodies fell to the ground, and they immediately spat out a mouthful of blood.
"But for the transmission of information!"
"We absolutely can't let you catch Yamaki!"
Even though they were injured, the two masked ninjas still gritted their teeth and stood up.
"Oh? You can still fight? But you won't be so lucky next....." Deidara looked at the two masked ninjas who were already injured, and revealed a mocking smile.
........
A moment later, the two masked ninjas turned into charred corpses and lay on the ground.
"How boring, I didn't enjoy myself at all." After eliminating the two masked ninjas, Deidara waved his hand and said.
"Stupid, you still let the third ninja run away, and you killed them both. I can't even ask who sent them!" Sasori of the Red Sand said coldly, very dissatisfied with Deidara's actions.
"Hey hey, they're already dead, let's just leave it at that." Deidara said shamelessly: "Besides, even if someone really has bad intentions towards our organization, they have to see if they have the ability!"
There were many capable people in Akatsuki, so Deidara was very confident and also had a trace of pride.
"Hmph, say whatever you want. In short, we're heading to Sunagakure right now, don't waste any more time." Sasori snorted coldly and took the lead to walk forward.
..........
In Konoha Village, Naruto returned to Konoha Village again, and as soon as he came back, he invited his former classmates to eat yakiniku. Kaoru and Wan'er were also on the list of invitees.
The group ate yakiniku while chatting about the past. When they mentioned Sasuke, they couldn't help but sigh for a while, and even the always lively Naruto couldn't help but start to feel sentimental.
In the middle of the meal, the caw of a crow woke Kaoru, who was talking. He turned his head and looked, and saw a crow on a crooked-necked tree outside the yakiniku restaurant, staring straight at him with a pair of pitch-black eyes.
This was the signal that Kaoru had set in the Root organization. Once something happened, he would be notified through the crow.
After receiving the signal, Kaoru found an excuse and left the yakiniku restaurant and went to the Root organization's base.
........
As soon as Kaoru stepped into the Root organization's underground hall, Shin rushed over to report.
"Kaoru, we've found the whereabouts of the Akatsuki organization!"
"Is that so? Tell me the details." Hearing about the Akatsuki organization's situation, Kaoru said quickly.
"Our three-man team discovered the whereabouts of two Akatsuki members in the Land of Rivers, and we lost two members for this!" Shin replied.
Just as they were talking, a ninja who looked to be in his teens walked up and knelt down on one knee to Kaoru: "Lord Kaoru, I, along with Genju and Hoshi, discovered two Akatsuki members in the Land of Rivers."
"What are their characteristics?"
"One has blond hair, and his bangs cover his left eye. The other is very mysterious, and his body seems to be crawling on the ground, only revealing two eyes." Yūki replied.
"It's Deidara and Sasori ah......" Kaoru said inwardly, and then opened his mouth again: "So did you hear what they were saying?"
"They only said that they were going to Sunagakure, I didn't hear anything else." Yūki said, with a look of regret on his face.
"Going to Sunagakure...... At this time, it seems that the target is Gaara ah." Kaoru quickly analyzed.
"Lord Kaoru, in order for me to escape back to Konoha Village, Genju and Hoshi were willing to stay behind to stop the Akatsuki people. It's estimated that they're already in a bad way." Yūki continued, with a deep sadness on his face.
Kaoru was also silent. This was the first time someone had died for his orders. Although he had no impression of the two ninjas, Genju and Hoshi, they had indeed died as his subordinates and for him.
At this moment, sadness filled Kaoru's heart. The greater the power, the greater the responsibility, as expected, those in power must be cold-hearted ah.
"Do they have family members? Give their family members some money." After a moment, Kaoru said. He didn't even know how to compensate these two deceased Root organization ninjas.
"Lord Kaoru, they are all orphans. The Root organization is their home." Yūki said in a low voice.
Hearing this sentence, Kaoru was stunned for more than ten seconds.
"Then send someone to bring back their bodies. Bury them properly, so that they still have a home after death......" Kaoru sighed and said. He found that all he could do was just these things.
"Yes, I'll go take care of it right away." Shin nodded.
"Thank you very much, Lord Kaoru!" Yūki was very grateful for Kaoru's words.
"You should go down and rest well too." Kaoru said to Yūki.
"Yes!" Yūki nodded and respectfully retreated.
