Naruto, your uncle is going to be Hokage!

At this time, he still looked like a teenager.

"Target spotted."

Pain descended from the sky, landing in front of Hidan, and spoke indifferently.

"I am Pain, the leader of the Akatsuki organization. I'm here to recruit..."

Before he could finish speaking, Hidan rudely interrupted him.

He pointed his finger at Pain.

His eyes were fervent.

"I know you! Payne, the rice thief!"

Pain was stunned for a moment, and Konan, who was behind him, was also pale-faced!

The title "Anti-rice thief".

Has it already reached the Land of Hot Springs?!

Chapter 114 Obito's Scheme, Double Kamui!

What the hell? ? ?

Has the title of "anti-rice thief" already spread to the Land of Hot Springs?

Xiao Nan's face was extremely pale.

Pain, standing beside him, was also frozen in place.

This meticulously planned recruitment fell into an awkward situation from the very beginning.

"The members of Akatsuki are all S-rank rogue ninja from various ninja villages."

Konan, trying to save face for Nagato, pondered and said, "Hidan, we've studied your abilities. Joining Akatsuki would be very beneficial for you."

"Rogue ninja? Isn't that the Rice Carrier Organization? I've seen Pain carrying rice on TV."

"I heard that you were run over by the Fifth Hokage of Konoha while carrying rice, but you still managed to carry the rice back?"

Hidan stared at Pain with surprise, as if he were looking at something very astonishing.

Kakuzu, standing nearby, sized up Hidan with a gloating look.

Based on his understanding of the leader.

This guy is probably in big trouble!

"Why aren't you saying anything? It seems like everyone's saying you stole the rice..."

"Shinra Tenzheng!"

A terrifying repulsive force erupted, violently blasting the incessantly chattering Hidan away, along with the road in front of him, creating a ditch that spread outwards.

Looking at Hidan, who was almost broken into several pieces and scattered on the messy road, Nagato's forehead veins bulged.

Perhaps recruiting this guy was a mistake.

……

Meanwhile, the entrance to a hidden cave.

His body was tightly wrapped in a black robe with red clouds, like a hunched old man crawling on the ground, the Red Sand Scorpion staring at the dark entrance.

According to the intelligence provided by the leader, the teammates he wants to recruit are inside this cave.

His previous teammate was that annoying, foul-mouthed snake who was always at odds with him.

Unexpectedly, after defecting from the organization, he fled directly back to Konoha, creating an unprecedented new era.

Who will be the teammates the leader provides this time?

"Hopefully it's a tough ninja, otherwise my puppet won't hold back."

With that thought in mind, Sasori of the Red Sand entered the cave entrance.

Haven't walked a few steps yet.

It seemed as if they stepped on something, and several cracking sounds came from the dark passageway. Several kunai, reflecting a cold glint, shot out.

Clang! Clang!

The Scarlet Tiger deftly swung its metallic tail, easily deflecting all the kunai!

"A boring trick."

Scorpion had a much lower opinion of the candidates he was recruiting this time.

Using such a pointless trick doesn't seem to make someone a strong person.

Just as he was feeling disdain, a slightly mocking chuckle came from the other end of the passageway.

"I thought they were Konoha's ANBU sent to hunt us down, but it seems they're just an unlucky guy who wandered in by mistake."

Sasori of the Red Sand was taken aback.

Konoha?

Are the ninjas they're recruiting this time rogue ninjas from Konoha?

The intelligence provided by the leader did not contain any records of this.

His interest was immediately piqued: "You're a rogue ninja from Konoha? I wonder who's stronger, you or Orochimaru?"

"Orochimaru?!"

"You know that Orochimaru guy...?"

The sound of clenched teeth came from the other end of the passageway.

It seemed that upon hearing the name Orochimaru, a deep-seated hatred welled up within him.

Sasori's interest deepened.

This guy actually knows Orochimaru, and it seems they have quite a grudge against each other?

It seems like the guy we're recruiting this time will be a very interesting person!

……

The land of water.

Foggy Village.

In a dark and damp underground room.

puff!

Accompanied by the sound of flesh being torn apart by a sharp weapon.

"Kisame...you actually...dared to betray me..."

The Watermelon Mountain Pufferfish Demon was filled with horror and disbelief.

His most loyal subordinate, the honest and loyal Kisame, had actually betrayed him!

His hand trembled as he reached back, trying to grasp the hilt of Samehada.

As one of the seven most famous ninja swords of Kirigakure, if its power could be used, it might be able to turn the tables and kill the enemy.

"Ahhhhh!!!"

A hideous, agonizing scream rang out, and the Watermelon Pufferfish Demon felt a piercing pain erupting from its wound.

"You think I wasn't on guard...?"

Kisame grinned coldly, twisting the hilt of his sword forcefully.

The rapid loss of his life force caused Suigetsu Hozuki's vision to blur, and all his strength seemed to be drained away in an instant.

At the last moment, he stared viciously into Kisame's eyes and uttered a hoarse voice that sounded like a curse.

"Kisame, you'll regret this..."

Kisame thrust his ninja sword in with great force, and with a shudder from the mountain demon, he ended his sinful life.

After confirming that the other party was dead, Kisame unsheathed the Samehada sword from his back and gently stroked the rough blade.

"Thank you for your hard work, Kisame..."

The familiar voice coming from the shadows behind him made Kisame freeze for a moment.

Kisame immediately placed his hand on the hilt of Samehada, and went on high alert, turning his head with extreme vigilance.

What came into view was the face of a young boy, with a centipede-shaped scar under his right eyelid.

He spoke in a soft voice.

"I guessed he would lower his guard against you, his subordinate. Kisame, you certainly lived up to expectations!"

Kisame's pupils twitched.

Fourth Mizukage?

How did he end up here?
