Chapter 272 The Price of Rebellion: Unresolvable Suspicion

"As expected of Itachi,"

"Even the nearly perfect Four-Tails Jinchuuriki is no match for your Mangekyō Sharingan."

There was a slightly excited admiration in the empty surroundings.

Just looking around, except for a miserable old man who lost his will and collapsed on the ground, it seemed that there was only a young man wearing a red cloud windbreaker standing quietly.

However, through the description of the words, the identities of the two people can be easily revealed.

But the strange thing is that the guy who praised it seemed to come from a strange void, and there was no trace of the existence of the third carbon-based life form in the entire scene!

Hearing the words,

Uchiha Itachi didn't respond, he still maintained his standing posture, as if he was waiting for something.

As far as the eye can see, there are only rugged rocks and a terrifying scar on the surface!

It seems to have been eroded by the sudden arrival of magma, and the smell of sulfur still lingers in the entire area.

And in the short gap after the battle, a slight energy fluctuation quietly twisted in the void, and then a man wearing a swirling mask appeared in the field of vision.

Here, the young man standing on the spot did not move at all. He only lowered his eyes slightly when the special space energy surged.

"Thank you, Itachi."

"This time I went deep into the Kingdom of Earth alone to capture the Four-Tails. Presumably those guys in the organization won't say anything casually anymore."

Uchiha Obito, who was standing in this messy place, did not give priority to the old purple who was collapsed on the ground and smelled of burnt food. Instead, he looked at the young man in his field of vision and said meaningfully.

present,

The atmosphere within the Akatsuki organization is not good, and there is a tendency to split several small groups.

First is Xiaonan,

According to Bai Jue's surveillance, this girl has been secretly investigating something in recent years, and what she has done seems to be intentionally or unintentionally guarding Jue and herself.

This is definitely not a good phenomenon.

Because Nagato, the apparent leader of the Akatsuki organization, is not completely under his control.

Xiaonan's will is likely to affect the other party's judgment and decision-making.

The second is internal contradictions.

For example, Uchiha Itachi and Deidara are naturally at odds with each other, Scorpio and Deidara have different artistic views, etc.

It would be okay if it were placed during the mission, but due to the instability of the entire external environment in the past two years, the members of the Akatsuki organization were basically stationed at the headquarters to recuperate, which further led to more or less conflicts among these unruly generations.

There were some provocations and frictions.

Of course, the most troublesome one is Uchiha Itachi.

No one in the entire organization is willing to approach him!

Including the leader, Nagato, and Hidan who is always clamoring to preach.

One of the reasons is due to their respective personalities. After all, strong people work alone and do not obey anyone else.

But the more important reason is the incident that started three years ago:

Kisame Inigaki, who was seriously injured, disappeared mysteriously!!

Originally, this matter could have been considered as an invasion of foreign enemies, but the fact that the guy he cooperated with was Uchiha Itachi was very thought-provoking.

Looking back at history, just after this guy entered the Akatsuki organization, Orochimaru, as a senior, chose to defect without saying a word.

Although the reason given was that the latter wanted to take away the Sharingan belonging to Uchiha Itachi, in the final analysis, this was just Itachi's one-sided statement, and no one witnessed the confrontation.

No one knows the real reason or the real situation.

Maybe Orochimaru felt threatened by Itachi, so he chose to escape early to protect himself?

As for why they didn't become suspicious in the first place, it was because doing such a thing was completely consistent with the behavior of that smelly snake.

Now that I think about it carefully, I feel a little scared to think about it.

And the death of Loquat Juzo!

This incident is also full of doubts.

Because the reason Uchiha Itachi gave was that he met the fourth generation Mizukage, Goju Yagura, and the former died in order to protect himself from the half-tailed beast Mizukage.

This incident did not attract any attention at the time. If you die, you will die. It can only prove the lack of strength of this guy, and you can just look for companions again later.

After all, it is normal for the Akatsuki organization to suffer damage or even death. For example, before Kakuzu formed a partner with Hidan, he had caused the death of an unknown number of his companions during his actions.

But now think about it carefully, is it so easy for Loquat Juuzang, who came out of the blood mist, to form bonds with his new teammates and to die for them?

Maybe he does have a true temperament.

But there is another possibility,

It was Uchiha Itachi, a dangerous guy, who used his Sharingan to control his will, control his actions, and finally used his companion's body to withstand the attack from the Fourth Mizukage!

Don't say it's impossible!

You know, that guy is an extremist who can attack his own family and his own parents!!

If a teammate who has no blood relationship with him dies, he dies.

Finally, it’s about the disappearance of the dried persimmon Kisame.

Until now, Zetsu and Obito have not been able to find any traces of each other. The weirdo from Kirigakure Village seems to have disappeared out of thin air, and there is no trace of his existence in the world.

However, he still locked onto two possible target areas:

One is in Kirigakure Village.

There have definitely been major changes in Kirigakure Village in recent years. As soon as you step into the land that was once covered with blood, you will feel a sense of solemnity.

Not only the entire Kingdom of Water is in seclusion, but even the ninjas in the entire Kirigakure Village are huddled in the village and rarely go out on missions.

During this period, Obito carefully sneaked into the village, captured several Kirigakure ninjas with ease, and forcibly searched for the memories in their minds.

But I got very little useful information.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Even one of the Jonin-level existences knows only that the recent incident is related to the Yondaime Mizukage-sama.

And in this regard, the upper management has done a very good job of keeping secrets. They were probably frightened by the dark events in the past.

But even so, he still found a key point:

Terumi Mei!

She is the leader of the younger generation in Kirigakure Village, and has the rare distinction of being a double-blood successor.

This is the only resonance point that Obito found when he was exploring the memories of the Kirigakure ninjas. Those guys all cared about this name and even respected it.

However, just when he wanted to explore that strange woman in person to see if he could find any useful information.

The traces of his arrival were discovered by the ninjas of Kirigakure Village.

This is definitely not because he accidentally exposed any flaws before.

It's because the 'corpse disposal team' who have absolute attainments in special secret techniques have developed new secret techniques in the past three years.

A secret technique for those controlled by illusions.

During the self-examination without any rules, they discovered that the ninjas in the village had traces of genjutsu being exerted on them, and their little tricks reserved for them were touched.

Such an unexpected situation forced him to abandon his plan to continue exploring.

The second guess point is in Konoha.

But after infiltrating, he still couldn't get any useful information.

This is not to say that the ninjas of Konoha have also developed early warning ninjutsu similar to Kirigakure, but that they have increased their control over the village through the training of the barrier class and real-time monitoring.

Those thin, secret early warning barriers and monitoring networks were as thin as spider webs, directly covering the entire Konoha on three levels inside and three outside.

Especially near Konoha ANBU, the Hokage Building, important research institutes, and the Uchiha clan's clan, the numerous intertwined barriers are like several layers of invisible blankets spread in the void, as impregnable as stone.

Perhaps the only thing that made those high-level officials in Konoha feel a little lacking was probably the failure to install surveillance equipment in the Uchiha clan.

Such precautions directly make Obito's infiltration more difficult.

After all, although space ninjutsu is weird, it is not unique to one person. The former second generation and fourth generation Hokages all have certain attainments in this aspect.

The current Sandaime is also known as the professor of ninjutsu. Even if he cannot use his arms and fingers to perform space ninjutsu, he has developed some early warning structures to prevent space ninjutsu based on the space knowledge passed down by the second generation and the fourth generation.

The world can still do it.

However, compared to Kirigakure, which is closed to itself, Obito is more inclined to the latter guess.

Because, in the past few decades, the entire Blood Mist has been disabled, and the strength of the younger generation has suffered serious faults in the battle on the eastern border of the Fire Country. The entire strength has dropped so much that even Sand Hidden

No village is better.

And even though the senior management of Kirigakure Village lost face, admitted their mistakes and dereliction of duty over the past few decades, and sincerely issued a recall order to their comrades who had defected. But until now, there is still no Ninja Swordsman.

Everyone returned, and even the iconic seven ninja swords followed their masters and disappeared from this world.
