Young Obito opened his mouth and said, "So, you want to send them all together into a team fight?"
Kabuto shook his head, "No, having them act together is far too inefficient. I will assign missions to each of them individually."
Young Obito said, "So, that's why the former Akatsuki operated that way."
Yakushi Kabuto's gaze flickered, "What exactly are you? Why do you know so many things?"
He looked at this small figure, and always felt that Young Obito was the one truly in control among them. Even the Obito beside him seemed, in a sense, to have become a supporting character.
But Young Obito only shrugged his shoulders, "I'm just a passerby in this world, a destined-to-disappear existence. You all are the protagonists."
"So, don't mind me."
Yakushi Kabuto showed an ambiguous smile, "Is that so?"
Then, he looked at Old Obito, "Speaking of which, the scroll you gave me last time actually contained that kind of thing... and in such quantity."
"This might be a surprise for the entire Shinobi Allied Forces, especially the Konoha."
Old Obito's gaze flickered, "Is that so? Then work with me to carry out my plan. I also have my own forces on my side."
Yakushi Kabuto nodded, without asking what Old Obito's forces were or where they came from.
The cooperation between the two was unequal. Originally, he had intended to surprise Old Obito and seize part of the initiative in the ninja war.
But unexpectedly, Old Obito seemed to know everything. His scheming hadn't achieved any clear effect.
Therefore, he didn't even know if he still had enough chips in his hand to trade for information. After all, Old Obito seemed completely uninterested, even in the most important Edo Tensei technique.
But he still wanted to continue probing.
Yakushi Kabuto glanced at the resurrected Akatsuki members and then said to Old Obito, "I was planning to awaken them anyway. Since you've just arrived, I think you should meet them."
After speaking, Yakushi Kabuto formed a hand seal.
Immediately, the figures inside the coffins all opened their eyes.
Itachi appeared very calm, merely raising his hands and saying, "I've been revived? No, this is Orochimaru's Edo Tensei."
Sasori simply didn't say a word.
Kakuzu looked at Nagato beside him, who seemed unfamiliar but also had a strangely familiar feeling, and asked, "Why do you have the leader's eyes?"
Nagato looked at Kakuzu and said, "Because I am the leader of Akatsuki, Pain."
Among them, Deidara appeared the noisiest.
He shouted, "Sasuke's already been blown to death by me! And what about Tobi, did he also die in the aftermath of my art?"
Among the resurrected Akatsuki members, except for Sasori who died the earliest and knew nothing, the rest all looked at Deidara with complicated expressions.
Deidara was very unhappy, "Why are you all looking at me like that? As a senior, is it wrong to care about how the juniors in the organization are doing?"
At this time, Yakushi Kabuto spoke, "The 'Tobi' you mentioned is the person behind Akatsuki. Later, he claimed to be Madara, and then claimed to be Uchiha Obito. By himself, he started the Fourth Great Ninja War."
Deidara froze, "That guy Tobi, is he really that strong?"
Then he raised his fist in anger, "That guy actually dared to lie to me!"
Yakushi Kabuto glanced at Old Obito and said to Deidara, "The real one is right here. If you want to make trouble for him, I won't stop you."
Deidara froze, then looked at Old Obito. When he saw the scars on Old Obito's face and those Rinnegan eyes, he couldn't help but widen his eyes, "You're Tobi?"
"How do you have the leader's eyes?"
The Akatsuki members were also drawn in, turning their gazes toward Obito.
Nagato was the one who knew the truth best among them, "Madara, so this is your true face?"
"You obtained my eyes. What about Konan? What happened to Konan? Did you kill her?"
Nagato's eyes were filled with killing intent.
Old Obito saw this and said to Nagato, "Konan is not dead. She's now considered the current leader of Akatsuki. She's even changed some of Akatsuki's rules. She's quite dominant, even what color nail polish to use is up to her."
Nagato froze. Would the current Konan be interested in such things? If it were the earlier Konan from when Akatsuki was just formed, that might've made more sense.
He asked, "Later, you claimed to be Uchiha Obito. So that means you're not Uchiha Madara?"
Old Obito said, "I'm indeed not Madara. As for the rest, it's a waste of time to explain, so I won't say anymore."
"Anyway, you're already a dead man now."
Nagato fell silent for a while. He actually wanted to return to Akatsuki and see Konan. But he could already feel that this body wasn't under his control, vaguely manipulated by Kabuto in front of him.
On the other hand, Deidara was loudly shouting in dissatisfaction, "So what if I'm dead! Even as a dead man, I can complete my art. Tobi, you weren't like this before!"
Old Obito only said, "Art? Deidara, compared to your art, I've seen similar but greater forms of art. Your explosions aren't even worth mentioning in comparison."
Deidara was very displeased. In the field of explosive art, how could anyone be better than him?
"You tell me, who is it? I want to see just how great his art is!"
Nagato, however, seemed to recall something, "I didn't expect Konan to even use that technique... and still failed to kill you?"
Deidara was puzzled and looked at Nagato, "You're the leader Pain? What did you mean just now?"
Obito had already opened his mouth, "That's right, Deidara. The true art is in Konan's hands. If you want to witness it, you can go to Akatsuki and find her. As for whether she'll let you witness it,.that's up to her."
At the side, Yakushi Kabuto was very displeased, "Deidara is an important piece of mine. You can't assign him as you please."
But Old Obito said, "You have a problem with how I make arrangements?"
From Old Obito's tone, Kabuto heard a rather unfriendly intent.
He tactfully said, "Fine, it's just one Deidara. I can lift his restriction and let him move freely."
"Let's consider it a favor for the gift you gave me earlier."
Old Obito didn't respond. But truth be told, he did show Deidara a bit of special treatment.
Yet Deidara himself was far from satisfied. He looked at Kabuto and mocked, "You think just because you learned Orochimaru's technique, you can control me? What a joke!"
Kabuto's face turned dark, "Is that so?"
Suddenly, Deidara found he couldn't move at all, his every action seemed tightly restricted.
He immediately shouted, "Let go of me! You bastard!"
The rest of the Akatsuki members, seeing Deidara being controlled, had a heavy look in their eyes.
To be summoned back with a dead body and then be controlled, it felt terrible.
Sasori looked at Kabuto meaningfully and said, "Your connection with Orochimaru runs much deeper than I imagined."
Kabuto gave a sinister smile, "I joined Akatsuki in the first place on Lord Orochimaru's orders, lying in wait by your side."
"Lord Sasori, surprised? Unexpected?"
