In Konoha, they wiped out the Sarutobi clan at the start.

Chapter 195 The True Base of the Akatsuki

"Brother Chiya. I heard you've caused quite a stir in Konoha this time. Hmm. It was truly artistic. Hmm."

As soon as he returned to the Akatsuki base, Deidara turned into a little fanboy and rushed to greet him.

But Qianye pressed his forehead to stop him from getting closer; he didn't want a grown man to pounce on him.

"Then next time you can go and cause chaos in Iwagakure too." Chiya symbolically reached into his sleeve, took out a scroll from the system inventory, and tossed it to Sasori. "This is the corpse of your Fourth Kazekage, Rasa. Although the skin is gone, it's very well preserved, as if he just died. How's the puppet toy I asked you to make for my daughter?"

"It's been made according to your requirements." Scorpion, hiding in the Scarlet Amber, controlled the puppet to take the scroll, and then casually tossed another scroll over.

His voice was hoarse, and his tone was devoid of any emotion. As he put away the scroll, he added, "I've never seen you spoil a child like this before. You actually went so far as to collect powerful ninja corpses for me just so I could make toys for him."

"It's all just a side thing anyway. Those ninjas are dead anyway, might as well make use of them."

Knowing about Scorpion's childhood, Chiya sensed a hint of envy in his words. She smiled slightly, opened the scroll, and began to play with it herself.

The toy that Qianye commissioned Scorpion to make was none other than Bumblebee from the Transformers movie he had watched on Earth in his previous life.

Moreover, it can be transformed by manipulating chakra threads.

Whether it's the color, the shape, or even the size, it's a perfect recreation.

Two months ago, before going to the Land of Water to complete her mission, Chiya commissioned Sasori to begin making it.

This took Scorpion a lot of effort, because Qianye had only left a rough sketch of Bumblebee before and after its transformation, based on her memories from her previous life.

The scorpion racked its brains just from those complicated transformations.

Scorpion had no idea how Chiya came up with all this.

However, he also enjoyed it. Qianye's ideas seemed to have opened the door to a new world for him, making him addicted to transforming puppets.

Before long, the rest of the Akatsuki members, including Takako and Kisame, arrived one after another.

"It's quite a rare gathering. The last time everyone was here was probably half a year ago."

Chiya's gaze swept over the Akatsuki members, finally settling on Pain. "Leader, is there anything you need to tell me?"

Pain looked around and said in a deep voice, "There are two things. The first is that Danzo, the leader of Konoha's Root, has defected."

"That... the Dark One of the Ninja World actually defected?" Upon hearing this, all the Akatsuki members except for Chiya and Yekura were shocked.

"This happened three days ago, on the day of Orochimaru's Konoha Crush plan. Because Chiya exposed Danzo's transplantation of the First Hokage's cells and Sharingan, the people and ninjas of Konoha were full of resentment towards him."

"Especially the newly appointed Fifth Hokage, Tsunade, who is the granddaughter of the First Hokage, will not tolerate such a thing happening."

"Danzo sensed that he would not be able to stay in Konoha, so he defected in advance. Sure enough, on her first day as Hokage, Tsunade ordered Danzo to train people to use the transplanted Sharingan and the First Hokage's cells."

"Danzo would naturally not agree to this; he has now completely become a rogue ninja."

Payne closed his eyes, his excitement barely concealed in his words.

I have to thank Qianye for this.

He never expected that Qianye's trip to Konoha would bring him such a big surprise.

He had two great enemies in his heart: Hanzo and Danzo, who were responsible for Yahiko's death.

Hanzo has already been dealt with by me long ago.

Next, only Danzo is left.

In the past, Danzo simply hid in Konoha, and for various reasons, the Akatsuki organization couldn't take action against him, but now things are different.

Once we find him, we can kill him immediately and avenge Yahiko.

"So, should we recruit that Danzo guy?" Hidan, the least bright member of the Akatsuki, asked bluntly.

Hearing Hidan's words, Chiya was speechless. Putting aside the fact that the Akatsuki was already full, even if it wasn't, how could they possibly recruit that old schemer Danzo?

They should be wishing he could be reduced to ashes; that guy was one of the culprits who killed Yahiko.

"The existence of someone like him in this world will only hinder our organization's future plans. We need to find out where he is and then eliminate him." Payne shook his head.

As he spoke, his gaze swept over Qianye and Uchiha Itachi, and he asked in a deep voice, "Did you gather any intelligence during your trip to Konoha?"

"No." Uchiha Itachi, true to his cold personality, simply uttered two words.

Even if he knew, he wouldn't have sold Danzo to the Akatsuki.

In his words, even though Danzo did many extreme things, everything he did was for Konoha.

Qianye also shook his head. Danzo was the one he was saving to beat up Erzhuzi. How could he possibly hand over Danzo? He said in a serious tone, "That old guy is like a rat in a stinky ditch. He's always hiding underground and even set up a perception barrier. If he had really run into me, I would have killed him long ago."

Hearing their words, Pain didn't suspect anything. After all, Itachi had been with Kisame the whole time, and if Kisame hadn't noticed, Itachi naturally wouldn't either.

It is common knowledge that Qianye harbors deep hatred for the Konoha leadership.

If Danzo is anywhere, he will not let him go.

Of course, if he knew that Danzo had already been captured by Chiya, he probably wouldn't think that way.

"Then let's keep an eye out for information about Danzo in the future."

Payne said.

No one answered; only Payne's voice echoed through the empty cave base.

Of course, being taciturn was a characteristic of the Akatsuki, so Pain didn't pay any attention to it.

Otherwise, have you ever seen an organization or leader give a speech and the employees below don't fawn over them?

"Now for the second thing I want to talk about."

As he spoke, Payne rapidly formed hand seals, slamming his palm onto the ground.

Summoning Jutsu: Gedo Statue!

The cave floor began to tremble violently.

A particularly enormous humanoid golem, resembling Ultraman, slowly rose from the ground.

The golem had nine closed eyes on its head, and a scroll-like object resembling a seal was held in its mouth. Its color was the same as that of a dead tree, and ten pillar-like objects protruded from its back, with only its upper body and hands exposed.

What's most eye-catching is its bizarre posture.

As if praying for something, the ten fingers are spread out, each one just the right size for a person to stand on.

Even the self-important Akatsuki members were shocked upon seeing this, exclaiming, "This is..."

"What you see now is Akatsuki's true base, and the vessel we will use to seal the Tailed Beasts. Gedo Mazo."

Payne said in a deep voice.
