Starting as the mastermind behind Naruto

Chapter 510 Nico Robin, CP9's superior

"Come to think of it, it doesn't really matter what we say..."

Kizaru stroked his chin and slowly chuckled, "Advisor Kabuto, after all, we're members of Akatsuki... You're not spying on us, are you?"

"Of course not."

Kabuto Yakushi opened his palm, smiled, and said, "You have the Four-Tails and the Seven-Tails inside you, so why should I waste my time? I just happened to overhear a sentence from Admiral Aokiji, and I had something to discuss with him..."

"What do you want with him?"

Akainu slowly stood up and put on his bathrobe.

"Fairness is the most important thing for the Akatsuki organization."

Kabuto looked at Aokiji and smiled as he said, "Because only Admiral Aokiji doesn't have a Tailed Beast, Lord Naraku was worried that it wouldn't be fair to you, so when we parted, he entrusted the Three-Tails, Isobu, to me, so that I could help you seal the Three-Tails and make you the Three-Tails' jinchūriki."

At this point, Yakushi turned to look at Akainu and Kizaru, chuckling as he continued, "It seems you both understand how much the Tailed Beasts can enhance your strength. They're a gift from the gods..."

"There's no need for that..."

Aokiji waved his hand, intending to refuse.

Although the tailed beasts were of great help to them, Aokiji also knew that once they became Jinchūriki, it meant that their bodies would be constantly controlled by the tailed beasts, and they would even be constantly monitored.

"General Aokiji".

Kabuto smiled and opened his palm, saying softly, "I believe no one would refuse a gift from God, and you certainly wouldn't, right?"

"Advisor Dou..."

Aokiji tilted his head, looked at Kabuto Yakushi, and asked, "Are you threatening me? I'm also a member of Akatsuki. Apart from the leader of Uehara, there shouldn't be any hierarchy among Akatsuki members, right?"

According to Nico Robin's message to Aokiji, the hierarchy within the Akatsuki organization is not strict; apart from Uehara Naraku, all members are nominally equal.

This matter is quite important.

Because Nico Robin knew Aokiji's personality very well, she was worried that Aokiji might get into trouble when faced with Kabuto Yakushi's unreasonable demands, so she specifically warned Aokiji.

If there is truly no way to retreat, there is no need to fear Yakushi Kabuto.

Of course, you shouldn't offend Yakushi Kabuto either.

Because Kabuto Yakushi was a confidant of Naraku Uehara.

Furthermore, Kabuto Yakushi had been following Naraku Uehara for a long time, and he had learned some of Naraku's quirks, such as being stingy and holding grudges...

Moreover, Kabuto Yakushi is extremely intelligent; with a little planning, he can kill someone without them even knowing how they died…

"..."

Upon hearing Aokiji's words, Kabuto's eyes narrowed.

Kabuto Yakushi couldn't help but smirk, revealing a smile as he said, "General Aokiji is right, but having you transplant the Three-Tails Isobu is a task given to me by Lord Naraku... Are you really going to refuse?"

Kabuto opened his palm and continued with a smile, "As a member of Akatsuki, I believe no one would refuse Lord Naraku, right?"

"Hmm, that doesn't seem right..."

Aokiji scratched his head and slowly said, "If I remember correctly, Mr. Uehara seems to be more tolerant than I imagined, and he doesn't seem to care about small things..."

Nico Robin also told Aokiji about this.

In fact, Uehara Naraku often didn't act like a leader in front of these people. If there were any unreasonable orders, the Akatsuki members could freely offer their opinions.

For example, Deidara.

For example, that senior Kakuzu.

Uehara Naraku rarely refused their requests.

certainly…

If it's deliberate provocation...

His life is definitely going to be arranged by Uehara Naraku.

Kabuto looked at Aokiji, adjusted his glasses, slowly nodded, and chuckled, "General Aokiji is right, but as Naraku's subordinate, I don't believe anyone should take Naraku's leniency as a reason for their own indulgence..."

Kabuto Yakushi's smile remained unchanged as he calmly continued, "Alright, since Admiral Aokiji is unwilling now, let's leave it at that for now!"

Kabuto Yakushi left the bathhouse step by step, beckoning and saying, "General Aokiji, I'll wait for you in the rest room here. You'll definitely change your mind in ten minutes..."

"..."

Aokiji remained silent.

No matter what, he won't change his mind.

After watching Kabuto leave, Kizaru couldn't help but stroke his chin and slowly asked, "Is that alright?"

"Xiao is still very tolerant."

Aokiji slowly turned his head to look at Kizaru and Akainu, and said in a low voice, "We are members of Akatsuki, and as long as we are within Akatsuki's rules, we have a very high degree of autonomy..."

This is how you utilize the rules.

As long as they remain within the Akatsuki organization's framework, they enjoy a considerable degree of freedom, even more so than the freedom afforded to a Marine Admiral.

To be honest...

The identity of Xiao as a member...

Actually, it's much more appealing than a naval admiral.

If he could, Aokiji would really like to resign from his position as admiral. Kakuzu and the Art Pirates are living such an easy life...

As Aokiji finished speaking, he stretched, yawned, and lazily sat down at the tea table: "It feels like my life hasn't changed much from the past. If I accept that fact, I'm actually a little more relaxed..."

"It seems that's really the case..."

Kizaru also sat down at the tea table and slowly said, "If it weren't for the Seven-Tails Chōmei within me, I would have forgotten that I joined Akatsuki."

It feels like this organization has absolutely no use for us. They could clearly do so much more by leveraging our status as generals…”

"..."

Akainu sat down beside them and said in a deep voice, "Don't let your guard down. Who knows what those guys are like..."

Bubbling...

Bubbling bubbling bubbling…

Their conversation was interrupted by a burst of urgent Den Den Mushi (snail phone).

Aokiji couldn't help but frown. It was rare for him to find that Kizaru was actually quite easy to get along with, and Akainu seemed to have changed a bit since then.

Aokiji was hoping to get along better with his colleagues...

Seriously, at this time... whose Den Den Mushi is calling?

When Aokiji slowly answered his Den Den Mushi, Nico Robin's voice came through.

The two chatted for a short while before Robin got down to business: "Aokiji, why did you refuse the power of the Three-Tailed Isobu? Uehara-san went to great lengths to agree to my proposal..."

"What the heck..."

Aokiji rubbed his forehead and waved his hand dismissively, saying, "Hey, Robin, I don't need the power of the Three-Tails, Isobu..."

original…

Was transplanting the Three-Tails Nico Robin's request? I really don't know what Robin was thinking, actually asking him to transplant the Three-Tails…

"No!"

Nico Robin's voice held an undeniable firmness, and her tone carried a hint of pleading: "Aokiji, Mr. Uehara promised me that if you become the Three-Tails Jinchuriki, he will break the dark contract between you..."

"..."

Aokiji fell silent.

The dark contract within him was originally established by Uehara Naraku to prevent his betrayal; it is a more terrifying constraint than becoming a Jinchūriki.

Speaking of which…

Aokiji had almost forgotten about it.

Besides, he gradually accepted Akatsuki's ideas, so naturally he wouldn't care much about the contract or its threats; after all, life is just about dying...

did not expect…

Nicole Robin still remembers that threat.

"Aokiji, I told you not to do anything foolish..."

Through the Den Den Mushi, Nico Robin's voice lowered slightly: "Remember what you promised me, no matter what happens, we'll live on..."

"…Um."

Aokiji gripped his Den Den Mushi tightly and whispered, "I understand, Robin. I'll go find Kabuto Yakushi..."

"..."

A strange smile crept onto Kizaru's lips.

Akainu's expression was slightly unpleasant; regardless, he still disapproved of Aokiji's association with the Devil Child.

A few minutes later.

The three admirals of the Navy Headquarters stood before Kabuto Yakushi.

Aokiji glanced at Kizaru and Akainu beside him, sighed, and then looked at Kabuto Yakushi: "Well then, let's discuss when to transplant the Three-Tails!"

"Now."

Kabuto Yakushi's lips were still curved in a smile.

A hint of longing crept onto Kizaru's face: "So, you're leaving Marineford already...?"

"There's no need for that."

Kabuto Yakushi extended his hand and placed it on Aokiji's arm, slowly saying, "Admiral Kizaru, I am a staff officer at Marine Headquarters. How can I abandon my post?"

A spacetime vortex suddenly appeared.

The moment this spacetime vortex appeared, it pulled Aokiji and Kabuto Yakushi into the Kamui Dimension!

When they reappeared, Aokiji had already obtained the Three-Tails' chakra and had become the Three-Tails' jinchūriki.

only…

Aokiji's gaze became more serious.

Kabuto Yakushi, the undercover agent who infiltrated the Navy, relied not only on his intelligence, but also on this strange ability he possessed!

Just as Aokiji was about to leave, he suddenly turned to look at Kabuto Yakushi and asked, "Um, Kabuto, what price did Robin pay to break the dark contract on me and make me the Three-Tails Jinchuriki?"

"There was no cost to it."

Kabuto pushed up his glasses, narrowed his eyes, and smiled, "It just so happens that she has to deal with the thing she dislikes the most..."

Kabuto looked up at the towering Aokiji and smiled, continuing, "This isn't a bad thing, Admiral Aokiji. You two will have the opportunity to meet more often..."

"What do you mean?"

Aokiji frowned.

"It's really interesting."

Kabuto rubbed his forehead and chuckled, "Do you remember the CP9 department that secretly joined Lord Naraku? The Akatsuki Supreme Council will soon send a group of ANBU to bolster this intelligence agency."

"It is precisely because of Nico Robin's outstanding intelligence skills that, as the price for helping you, she will be sent to Water Seven to serve as the secret commander of the future massive CP9, assisting me in replenishing the CP9 with ANBU ninjas..."

"..."

Aokiji fell silent.

The next moment, Aokiji rubbed his temples.

Why would Nico Robin, the devil's child with an extremely high bounty, someone who has been constantly hunted by CP agents, become the superior of those CP9 agents?

This world must be broken, right?

Third update!
