Ninja World: I've already fought the Five Kage head-on, and the system is only now showing up.

Chapter 53 Xiao's Movements

With orange-yellow hair, Pain, once considered by Naruto conspiracy theorists to be the Fourth Hokage, appeared before Obito Uchiha and asked in a calm tone:

"Mr. Madara, are you familiar with Hagoromo Gengetsu?"

Obito Uchiha's expression froze.

However, the spiral mask concealed everything.

He quickly replied, as always, in a profound tone:

"An old friend."

Payne continued, "Is it possible to bring him into Akatsuki's cause?"

Upon hearing this, Black Zetsu quietly shook his head at Obito Uchiha.

Obito Uchiha understood: "Unless you, Pain, are willing to hand over everything you own."

"I understand." Payne's face remained expressionless.

Now that he considers himself a "god," it's impossible for him to hand over everything to the other party.

"Since he is an old friend of Mr. Madara, then you can handle this person, Mr. Madara. Don't let him affect our plans."

"You don't need to tell me, I also really want to see this old friend," Obito Uchiha replied solemnly.

Payne nodded.

Before the slideshow disappeared, he asked one more question:

"By the way, Mr. Madara, do you know how Hagoromo Gengetsu was resurrected?"

"That's something I'd really like to know too!"

This time, Obito Uchiha answered from the bottom of his heart.

"Then I'll have to trouble you, Mr. Madara."

Pain glanced at Obito Uchiha one last time before his illusionary form dissipated.

after that.

Obito Uchiha looked at Black Zetsu, and Black Zetsu looked at him in return.

The former's eyes narrowed, and he ordered, "I need to know all of Yu Yi Xuan Yue's whereabouts. This troublesome fellow has suddenly appeared, and I have a bad feeling about it."

"I see."

Black Zetsu nodded in empathy, then sank into the ground.

Obito Uchiha was left alone, muttering to himself, "Even if we succeed in reviving Rin, what good will it do? In this flawed world, it will only bring about another tragedy!"

"Therefore, no one can stop me from completely changing this ninja world!"

On the other side, on the ten fingers of the Gedo Mazo.

The six slide projectors were chatting idly.

Deidara, with his signature golden ponytail, complained, "What? Why does the leader love holding meetings just like an old man! I'm creating a new work of art. This is disrupting my inspiration, hmm."

"What's so great about art! Deidara, why don't you join me in believing in God!" Hidan, who never forgot to spread his faith, said with great enthusiasm as he tried to recruit members of the Akatsuki organization.

"You bastard!!!"

Deidara immediately abandoned his complaints about the leader, turned around, and glared fiercely at Hidan, angrily saying, "You utterly eloquent pyramid scheme leader! How dare you slander art! Bring out your damn evil god, and I'll show him what the greatness of art really is! Hmm!"

Upon hearing this, Hidan was immediately enraged.

He shouted angrily, "Aaaaah! You brat! How dare you insult the great God! Where are you? I will cleanse you, you heretic!"

"Come on then, if you dare!" Deidara raised his chin, continuing his mockery. "What kind of bullshit gods are you! Worthless in the face of art! Hmm!"

Hidan immediately retorted, "What bullshit art! It's laughable! Go ask around, how many people believe in this stuff? Art is a joke!"

Upon hearing this, not to mention the furious Deidara, even Sasori, who had been keeping his eyes closed and showing no interest in paying attention, suddenly opened his eyes, aimed at Hidan, and coldly threatened:

"Hidan, if you dare to slander art again, I'll turn you into a puppet! I've always been interested in the question of whether an immortal can retain consciousness after being transformed into a puppet."

Although Sasori's understanding of art differs greatly from Deidara's, he still deeply admires art itself and naturally wouldn't tolerate Hidan's foul mouth slandering it.

Seeing that Deidara had gained help, Hidan, unable to speak for two, quickly turned to Kakuzu: "Kakuzu, your teammate is being targeted! Come help me!"

Kakuzu glanced at him and said calmly, "I'd also like to see if you'll really die."

Hidan: "."

Not far away, Kisame, who had witnessed everything, smiled and said, "What a vibrant organization! Unlike Kirigakure, where everyone's so gloomy and ready to stab you in the back at any moment. Itachi, what do you think?"

Uchiha Itachi did not answer. His Sharingan seemed to be directed at everyone, but he was actually thinking about something.

Kisame had come to understand his teammate, who often remained silent and didn't seem like the ruthless person who slaughtered his entire clan, after spending more time with him.

He continued nonchalantly, "Still thinking about the Nine-Tails? The leader won't blame us for not succeeding under those circumstances."

"Or perhaps...you're thinking about your younger brother?"

Kisame looked at Itachi Uchiha, a strange smile creeping across his shark-like face. "I'm really curious that you, who slaughtered the entire Uchiha clan, would spare your brother. That's the second time now."

As soon as he finished speaking, Itachi Uchiha's expression finally changed, and he slowly said:

"I'm thinking about someone else."

"Oh? Who?"

"Feathered Robe and Mysterious Moon".

"That guy~~~"

Kisame habitually touched the non-existent Samehada behind him, his voice filled with reminiscence.

"If I had to pick an impression of that person, Kirigakure would be the most memorable. I remember during my time at the Ninja Academy, there were many times when teachers would mention him through gritted teeth, as if all the misfortunes that Kirigakure had suffered over the years were caused by him."

Instead of looking for their own problems, they blame the dead.

"What a joke!"

Kisame scoffed.

Itachi Uchiha gave Kisame a deep look and calmly asked, "So this is why you betrayed the village?"

"There are many more," Kisame replied with a smile.

"Speaking of which, with the legendary return of Hagoromo Gengetsu, it seems the ninja world is going to be anything but peaceful! I really want to go see what the Hidden Mist Village is like now."

"You really enjoy turmoil?" Itachi Uchiha asked casually.

Kisame said, "It's not that I like it, it's that the organization likes it."

Itachi Uchiha nodded knowingly.

Just then, the illusions of Payne and Konan appeared before everyone.

Without further ado, the former decisively issued the order: "The ninja world will be quite turbulent in the near future; it's time for the Akatsuki to further expand its operations."

As Kisame said, Akatsuki's initial mission was to gather a large amount of funds.

As a result, the Akatsuki organization is seen by outsiders as a mercenary organization that deliberately instigates small wars. They first monopolize war contracts in small countries at low prices, and then escalate the scale of the wars to seek greater profits.

The news of Hagoromo Gengetsu's resurrection shook the entire ninja world and attracted much attention, which was the moment when these conspirators rose to power.

Payne then issued a series of tasks to accelerate the Akatsuki's final plan.

Before the meeting ended.

Uchiha Itachi specifically asked, "How should we deal with Hagoromo Gengetsu?"

Payne glanced at him indifferently.

"Ignore it."

"Disperse!"

In an instant, the area in front of the demonic statue of the heretic was completely empty and fell silent again.
