"A spy is a traitor!"
Deidara pointed at Uchiha Itachi, with the mouths on his face and hands saying together, "Uchiha Itachi is a traitor. He and Linto are in cahoots, selling us out, causing Konan to be captured by Linto!"
"Konan is so beautiful. Who knows what will happen to her in Linto's hands... I don't even want to think about it!"
Sasori smiled coldly.
Coward.
He dares to think about it.
Sasori has no grudge against Uchiha Itachi, but if Pain chooses to kill Uchiha Itachi, he can only reluctantly take Itachi's body and turn it into a puppet for remembrance.
"I'm not a traitor," Uchiha Itachi said.
Deidara stepped forward, "Then why are you blushing?"
"Feeling refreshed."
"Why is it yellow again?"
Uchiha Itachi didn't respond, just stared at Pain and said, "If I were a traitor, I wouldn't have come back."
Pain's expression became colder: "I'm asking you to translate what a spy is."
Hoshigaki Kisame, who had a good relationship with Itachi, sensed that something was wrong and stepped forward, saying, "A spy is a spy. No need to translate. Mr. Itachi is definitely not one. There must be some misunderstanding."
Pain shook his head slightly.
"Wrong."
"Let me tell you what a 'spy' is—"
His Rinnegan released endless killing intent.
"A spy is someone who deserves to die."
From the first day Uchiha Itachi joined the Akatsuki organization, Pain felt that this person was wicked.
Of course, none of the others present were any better.
The problem was that the others' evil thoughts were directed at outsiders.
But Uchiha Itachi seemed to be targeting Akatsuki's own people.
The others didn't matter, but Konan was Nagato's last family member.
Who dares to touch her?
Must die!
Pain's killing intent was undisguised.
Deidara, Sasori, Zetsu, Kakuzu, and others all became interested and took a few steps back, leaving space for the two of them.
Especially Deidara, who had recently joined the Akatsuki organization, had never seen Pain fight before, so he widened his eyes, preparing to see it.
Kisame raised his hand, wanting to say a few words of persuasion, but finally put it down and stepped aside.
One side was Uchiha Itachi, a strong person in the ninja world who had developed the Sharingan to its limit.
The other side was Pain, the leader of the Akatsuki organization, who possessed the most mysterious Rinnegan.
Just as the two sides were about to start a fight in the small underground base, suddenly, a strange voice came from the darkness:
"Itachi is not a traitor."
A person walked out of the darkness, wearing an Akatsuki organization fire cloud robe, an orange spiral mask, with a mysterious and cold demeanor, it was Obito.
In Obito's original plan, he didn't want to show up too early. Currently, only Pain, Konan, Itachi, and Zetsu knew of his existence in Akatsuki. Obito wanted to maintain this state.
But no one expected that Uchiha Itachi, Konan, and Deidara, plus Orochimaru, couldn't get any advantage from Linto.
Orochimaru was defeated.
Konan was captured.
If Obito didn't show up, Pain and Uchiha Itachi, these two pieces that were very important to him, would definitely die, or if he was unlucky, both might die.
Deidara nudged Sasori with his shoulder, "Who is this person?"
Sasori shook his head and looked at Kakuzu.
Kakuzu also shook his head.
But seeing Pain's appearance and the other party's clothing, they should know each other, so the others calmed down and continued to be the audience.
Obito stepped forward and stood beside Uchiha Itachi, "I vouch for him, he is not a traitor, as for Konan..."
He looked at Pain.
"I will personally go to Kirigakure."
Kirigakure has been full of undercurrents recently, plus the movements of Linto and his group are not a secret to those who care. Anyone could see that—
Something big is about to happen.
The reason why the fourth Mizukage, Yagura, suffered from mental illness and messed up the village was that he was controlled by Obito's illusion.
Relying on Yagura, Obito made a lot of money, and at the same time, under the Blood Mist policy, he eliminated dissidents and gradually turned Kirigakure into his own voice.
Before long, once Obito's plan officially started, the Kirigakure ninjas would become his private armed forces.
Just like Nagato cared about Konan.
Obito also cared about the fat meat of Kirigakure.
Whoever dares to reach out.
He will chop off whoever's hand!
Obito crossed his arms and said in a calm and sure tone:
"I'll go kill Linto and bring Konan back, and that's the end of it, okay?"
Having said that, Obito thought that Pain would nod.
But Pain said, "No."
"This time, I'll go with you."
As soon as these words came out, the Akatsuki organization members were slightly moved.
Since the framework of the Akatsuki organization was built, Pain hadn't personally carried out tasks for a long time. Was Konan so important to him?
Or is it...
Is Linto so strong that Pain needs to take action himself?
Obito chuckled.
"Then let's go together."
Back then, it was Obito, Pain, and Konan who went to Kirigakure to control Yagura.
"It's like revisiting an old place."
…
Linto stepped off the boat.
Land of Water was still the same as before he left.
The air was humid, the mist was hazy, the officials wore swords and shouted loudly, and the civilians lowered their heads and worked hard.
More than thirty people didn't get off the boat.
Only Sasuke, Momo-chan, and Mayuri accompanied Linto this time.
Kambara Hayato and Amber stayed on the sea with the rest of the people, waiting for news from Kirigakure before going ashore, to avoid being targeted by other organizations.
The reason for bringing these three was that Linto would need reliable teammates if he wanted to do things, and he couldn't always rely on himself.
Hiding behind Linto forever won't make them stronger.
This was just a training exercise.
As a captive, Konan naturally followed behind Linto as an "accessory."
But stepping on the land of Land of Water again, her expression was a little complicated.
"What are you thinking?" Linto asked.
Konan said lightly, "I have no obligation to answer you."
"Even if you don't say it, I can guess. You just feel that you have some responsibility for Land of Water and Kirigakure becoming like this, and your conscience feels uncomfortable.
But for your plan, you feel that it is a necessary sacrifice... Your left and right brains are fighting."
Konan suddenly turned her head, her amber eyes staring straight at Linto.
"How much more do you know about me?!"
Linto ignored her gaze, walked past Konan, and said softly:
"Don't worry, I only focus on important information. I'm not interested in trivial things like you liking to sing when you take a bath or hugging a doll when you sleep."
Konan's face turned red.
If there weren't "orders" restricting her, she would definitely rush up and shut the man's mouth.
Linto smiled, stepped forward, and walked towards the north of Land of Water.
According to the message in the letter, there were still some days before Terumi Mei started the chaos, so Linto decided to take a detour to Kirigakure first.
Before leaving, Linto gave Kubikiribōchō and the broken blade of the Thunder Sword · Fang to Knife Master, asking him to forge swords suitable for Sasuke and Momo-chan.
So much time has passed, so it should have been made.
An upcoming team battle, got to improve the team members' fighting strength.
The speed of the five people was very fast. On the afternoon of the third day, they arrived at Kirigakure and saw Knife Master again.
Knife Master grinned when he saw Linto.
Swordsmiths and swordsmen, always make each other better.
Which swordsmith doesn't hope that the sword they made can become famous with the swordsman?
Every strong person who dies under the Broken Blade will become part of this sword and will be passed down as a "legend" many years later.
"I heard about your deeds in Land of Fire. Who are you planning to kill this time?"
"Big shots."
Linto said, pointing to Sasuke and Momo-chan.
"So, I'm here to get their swords."
"It's been made long ago."
Knife Master opened the cabinet and took out two wooden boxes, placing them on the table.
"Open them and take a look."
