In a secret space somewhere underground in Amegakure, a series of illusory figures appeared one after another on the raised ten fingers of a hideous giant statue.
The figure on the right thumb of the statue opened his eyes, revealing those peculiar ripple-shaped pupils.
"Sei, Haku, Shū, Gen, Nan, Hoku, San, Gyoku. Very good, everyone is here."
The figure wearing a mask said vaguely, "Why has the leader suddenly summoned us? I still have a mission that hasn't been completed yet. It's hard to find a target with such a high bounty."
The shadow next to him said, "Didn't we agree that that guy would let me be sacrificed to the Evil God-sama? Brother Kakuzu, why are you going to exchange for money again!"
The short and stout figure on the index finger of the statue's left hand said, "If we're just here to chat idly, then I won't accompany you. I'm not that free."
"Enough!"
The Rinnegan figure, who was also the leader of Akatsuki, Pain, stopped the irrelevant topics and said, "Zetsu, tell them what happened!"
The Zetsu figure used an unsettling voice to tell what had happened in Konoha.
After hearing all of this, a figure suddenly said, "So all of this is because Itachi Uchiha was incompetent! Why do we have to make up for his mistakes?"
It could be seen from this that Itachi Uchiha's popularity in Akatsuki wasn't very good. That person clearly looked very happy that he was having bad luck.
"It's meaningless to say these things now!" Pain said angrily.
Pain didn't care much about whether the internal relationships of his team were harmonious or not, but being blamed on each other at this time also made him angry.
To be honest, when Obito told him what had happened, he had an urge to flip the table.
How could he not know what had happened before his base had been exposed, and he had to fight people for no reason.
Although Pain, who considered himself to have become a god, could be above anyone, Nagato didn't want to fight this meaningless battle.
Nagato and Konan were actually wary of Obito, who called himself Madara Uchiha. After all, who would believe a guy who wasn't even willing to show his true face?
But Nagato was willing to cooperate with him because he was indeed helpful to the Ultimate Weapon plan.
But now he had caused himself a big trouble before the plan had really started. How could he not be angry?
What Nagato thought was trouble wasn't the battle with Fairy Tail. Although Zetsu had given information saying that this group of people couldn't be underestimated, in Nagato's mind, there were no enemies in front of God.
Nagato felt that the trouble was the leak of information. Obito only thought that it was terrible that the relationship between Amegakure and Akatsuki had been exposed, but Nagato was more concerned about how much important information had been leaked.
To tell the truth, if too much information had been leaked, then the implementation of their plan would be countless times more difficult.
And at this time, this group of "elite soldiers and strong generals" under him could only add to his troubles. It would be strange if Nagato could be happy.
The Rinnegan, which was full of pressure, swept around the Akatsuki members, and Pain continued, "I have decided that in three months, I will punish those who dare to challenge God!
Everyone will participate in this battle, and be sure to completely eliminate the enemies of God!"
The way Akatsuki recruited new members was quite hardcore. Most of the current members had joined after being taught a lesson.
Although the corporate culture was terrible, it undoubtedly gave Pain, the leader, enough authority.
Since Pain had issued the order, the others naturally wouldn't have any objections. And this was a group of people who were afraid that the world wouldn't be in chaos, and were actually excited about the upcoming big operation.
After Pain announced the order to participate in the war and explained the next actions, Akatsuki dissolved the Illusionary Dragon Nine Seals Technique one after another.
Zetsu adjusted to the suddenly changing perspective, and said to Obito in front of him, "There's no problem, Pain has decided to solve Fairy Tail!"
Obito nodded and said, "Konoha hasn't made any moves during this time, and there hasn't been any information leaked about us. It seems that Fairy Tail and Konoha aren't on the same side."
Black Zetsu gave a hidden look of contempt. What was the reason why Konoha hadn't completed the reconstruction yet? Think about how bad their relationship with Fairy Tail was!
Obito didn't know Black Zetsu's slander against him, and changed his tone and said, "But your actions have been a little abnormal recently!
The current situation is quite unfavorable to us, so focus. Don't forget! You are the will that Madara left behind, and exist to assist me."
Black Zetsu said, "I know. I will monitor Fairy Tail's movements well next."
Saying this, his body sank into the ground. But when he appeared again, it wasn't in Konoha, but in a dark cave.
This cave had been carefully remodeled, and the interior was piled with a large number of culture tanks, dissection tables, and other experimental equipment. This was one of Orochimaru's strongholds.
And Orochimaru was in front of a dissection table, dissecting a... White Zetsu.
"What a wonderful creature. Although its appearance is more like a human, its body structure is similar to that of a plant. And the fusion rate with Hashirama cells is so high. It's really interesting!"
Black Zetsu said, "Orochimaru, according to the agreement, I'll help you heal your hands, and you should also do what I need you to do."
After the Konoha Crush event, Orochimaru could be said to have been going through everything unsuccessfully.
Sasuke Uchiha, the container he had originally been optimistic about, directly rejected him. After all, Sasuke already knew that Orochimaru had been subdued by Itachi Uchiha with just a genjutsu. How could he still go to him for strength?
The most important thing was that even the Cursed Seal that Orochimaru had left on Sasuke had been removed by Drake.
And when leaving Konoha, Orochimaru was entangled by his old teammate Jiraiya, and it took a lot of effort to shake off that troublesome guy.
Then, in order to solve the problem of his hands, he went to Tsunade again, and the result was the Sannin War, and he was beaten up by the other two together.
Perhaps he had encountered too many unlucky things, Orochimaru finally turned around, and his former colleague in Akatsuki came to his door.
Orochimaru had also joined Akatsuki before, but had defected because he had attacked Itachi Uchiha.
Attacking teammates wasn't a big deal in Akatsuki. Kakuzu had killed more than one teammate. Orochimaru had chosen to escape, and as a result, he was hunted down by Akatsuki as a traitor.
Orochimaru had thought that Black Zetsu had also come to hunt him down, but he didn't expect him to propose a deal.
And Orochimaru also didn't expect Black Zetsu to really have a way to undo the Reaper Death Seal and help him retrieve the souls of his hands.
And Black Zetsu had even provided him with White Zetsu, this interesting experimental body, which made Orochimaru very interested in him.
Orochimaru put down the scalpel in his hand and said, "Don't worry, I have improved the precision of the Impure World Reincarnation, and can resurrect that man's youthful appearance as you said.
And the cultivation of the sacrifice is almost complete. It will definitely be able to restore his strength before he was alive to the greatest extent.
But knowing so many secrets... Zetsu, I really didn't expect that there would be such a mysterious guy like you in Akatsuki. I don't think Pain understands the real you either!"
Black Zetsu didn't care about Orochimaru's probing, and said, "You just need to complete our deal!"
Saying this, Black Zetsu sank into the ground again. Orochimaru looked at the ground where he had disappeared and stuck out his tongue, showing a sinister smile.
