Chapter 97 Deidara: Which Tailed Beast is the strongest fighter?
"Impressive!"
"We're not planning to target Konoha, are we!"
Kisame Hoshigaki said half-jokingly.
As the hardest worker in the Akatsuki Organization, he really didn't want to recall that day again.
It was simply a nightmare-like existence.
"We might not be White Night's opponent!"
Even Uchiha Itachi said with full agreement.
To face his Tsukuyomi and remain completely unscathed.
Itachi felt that making an enemy of White Night was not a smart move.
"Don't worry, we won't provoke Konoha immediately!"
Pain naturally wouldn't break with Konoha from the start.
"During this time, I'll have Zetsu investigate Konoha's information. We'll prioritize capturing Tailed Beasts from other Ninja Villages!"
Pain's words somewhat reassured Kisame and Itachi.
Anyway, they absolutely did not want to face White Night again.
"By the way, leader, there's something I need to tell you."
Mentioning Konoha's intelligence, Zetsu had to step forward now.
"The White Zetsu I used to scout intelligence in Konoha were all eliminated overnight!"
"In other words, my grasp of Konoha's intelligence is almost zero now!"
Zetsu's words made most people show disbelief.
"Zetsu, could it be that your subordinates were too trashy and got discovered!"
Deidara said bluntly.
Clearly, he didn't believe Konoha had such strong capabilities.
It must be that Zetsu was careless and exposed them.
"Impossible, my White Zetsu are absolutely flawless!"
Black Zetsu's expression turned unpleasant.
Deidara's mouth really was too loose.
The White Zetsu's Mayfly Technique allows them to merge their bodies with the earth and vegetation to achieve high-speed movement.
They can integrate with the earth, then travel through organic networks like plant Roots and underground water flows.
They can move rapidly to any location, and during the technique's activation, all traces of their presence are cut off.
Not to mention Konoha, even Pain might not be able to detect all the White Zetsu's locations over such a long time.
"Let's discuss the order of Tailed Beast capture instead!"
Konan interrupted their argument.
Because such matters were impossible to clarify.
It was better to discuss something useful.
"Impressive! I heard the Four-Tails Roshi was originally a Ninja from the Land of Earth's Iwagakure, but left the Village due to personality conflicts with the Tsuchikage and became a Wandering Monk."
"I plan to capture the Four-Tails!"
A cruel smile reappeared on Kisame's face.
Actually, Kisame didn't intend to be so cruel; it's just that his signature shark-like head made him look this way when he smiled.
"Kisame and Uchiha Itachi to capture the Four-Tails?"
Pain nodded.
With their strength, capturing a Four-Tails was absolutely no problem.
"Hmph, Kisame, you'd better be careful!"
Deidara snorted coldly and said.
Iwagakure was that old man Ōnoki's territory.
Deidara definitely didn't want to capture the Four-Tails.
Might as well leave it to Kisame to handle.
"I plan to capture the Three-Tails!"
Excitement showed in Deidara's eyes.
It was clear he was particularly curious about what the leader had said.
"Deidara, I told you, that newly appeared Ninja in the Hidden Mist Village is powerful; you're no match for him!"
Pain said indifferently.
"Kid, if you want to go looking for death, don't drag me along!"
Even Deidara's teammate, Sasori, voiced his opposition.
If you want to throw your life away, just don't involve me.
"What are you thinking, Sasori-danna!"
"With the two of us brothers joining forces, how could there be an enemy who lasts a single round?"
Deidara seemed to have immense confidence in his clay bombs.
But Sasori still shook his head.
He even subconsciously moved a bit further away from Deidara.
"Sasori-danna, you have to believe in me!"
Deidara was still trying to prove he could definitely do it.
But Sasori was already too tired of listening.
"I'll go with this kid to capture the Ichibi!"
For some reason, Sasori suddenly spoke up.
"Oh?"
Konan was somewhat surprised.
Because Sasori was someone she had personally recruited from the Hidden Sand Village.
Logically, the Hidden Sand Village was his hometown, and Sasori wouldn't necessarily choose to capture the Ichibi.
Yet, unexpectedly, Sasori chose the Ichibi.
"It doesn't matter; I've left many spies in the Hidden Sand Village."
Sasori explained indifferently.
People like Sasori loved planting spies around others.
Even though he had defected from the Hidden Sand Village, there were still many of Sasori's spies throughout the village.
Moreover, the Ichibi of the Hidden Sand Village should be the easiest to capture.
---Seeking Flowers--- The current One-Tails Jinchuriki is a child who lost his mother at a young age, and he hasn't fully mastered the Tailed Beast's power.
If it were the previous One-Tails Jinchuriki...
Sasori wouldn't have chosen him.
Bunpuku, the previous One-Tails Jinchuriki of the Hidden Sand Village in the Land of Wind, had the Ichibi Shukaku implanted in him since birth, becoming the One-Tails Jinchuriki.
Through arduous training, Bunpuku was able to skillfully command the Ichibi and maintained a friendly relationship with the Ichibi Shukaku.
Bunpuku told the Ichibi that as long as they could truly accept each other, there was no difference between humans and Tailed Beasts.
His pure mindset led Shukaku to praise his character as being very similar to the Six Paths Sage, a compliment that made Bunpuku feel quite comforted and moved to tears.
That old man Bunpuku's strength was not something that child could compare to.
"Deidara, what's your opinion?"
...Pain glanced at Deidara.
Deidara was also quite speechless; what else could he do now?
He originally wanted to find the strongest Tailed Beast to fight, but ended up picking the weakest one.
Deidara was very speechless!
"In that case, Sasori and Deidara will capture the Ichibi!"
Regarding the remaining Tailed Beasts, Pain pondered for a moment.
"Leader, Hidan and I are also currently within the borders of the Land of Earth."
Kakuzu spoke up.
"Since that's the case, the remaining Tailed Beast in the Land of Earth, the Five-Tails Kokuō, will be left to you two!"
Hearing this, Pain assigned the remaining Tailed Beast of Iwagakure to Kakuzu and Hidan.
This way...
The Akatsuki Organization's manpower distribution in Iwagakure reached four.
You should know that this was already quite terrifying.
For the Akatsuki Organization, which had never fought as a group...
Four people appearing in one place at the same time.
Even Iwagakure might not be able to withstand it!
"I advise you to be careful in Iwagakure!"
"That old man Ōnoki is really not to be trifled with!"
Deidara kindly reminded them again.
As the student of that old fellow Ōnoki, Deidara knew very well how strong the old man was.
"Hmph, I really want to offer Ōnoki as a sacrifice to Lord Jashin!"
Hidan said dismissively.
Tsuchikage?
He'd take him down just the same.
Besides, their lineup was equally formidable.
Kisame Hoshigaki, Uchiha Itachi, Kakuzu, Hidan.
With this lineup, even Ōnoki would have to tuck his tail between his legs
