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

"Chiya, Itachi, the power of the Mangekyou Sharingan combined with Orochimaru's cursed seal is not to be underestimated. You guys need to be careful from now on. And the others too, Sasuke Uchiha might cause trouble for everyone because of information about the two of them."

Payne looked around and said in a deep voice.

"That's really something to look forward to, the Mangekyou Sharingan."

Dida stretched out his right hand, and licked his lips with the mouth on his palm.

He completely ignored the curse seal, which was something utterly devoid of artistry.

"Hey, Deidara-senpai, please don't get any weird ideas. I don't want to get caught up in this. That's the Mangekyou Sharingan, just like Itachi-senpai's!"

Obito advised Deidara.

Despite saying this, Chiyo didn't hear any hint of dissuasion in his deliberate emphasis on Itachi and the Mangekyou Sharingan; on the contrary, it seemed to be encouraging the conversation.

Everyone in the Akatsuki knows that Deidara has always held a grudge because he was once under the influence of a genjutsu cast by a filial son.

Obito's words clearly indicated that he wanted Deidara to challenge Sasuke, while he himself would seize the opportunity to obtain information about Sasuke's double eye techniques.

After all, the kaleidoscope's abilities are extraordinary.

No one can guarantee that some strange abilities won't appear; Obito's Kamui and Shisui's Kotoamatsukami are two good examples.

Sure enough, upon hearing Obito's words, Deidara immediately fell for it, "Shut up! This time, I'm going to use my art to defeat that Sasuke, hmm."

"Deidara,"

"Since that's the case, then I'll be the bait. I'd also like to see how much my good boy has improved," Qianye said.

"Senior Chiya, aren't you still looking for the Eight-Tails?" Obito looked at Chiya, his brows furrowing slightly beneath his mask.

In the future, Obito will need to use Sasuke to counterbalance the unstable factor of Chiya. If possible, he does not want to go and let Chiya face Sasuke.

Because he knew that even Kaleidoscope could never be a match for Chiyo.

"That thing has been found; it's in the Cloud Thunder Gorge of Kumogakure," Chiya said casually. "Once we capture the remaining six-tailed beasts, we can begin the capture operation."

"Cloud Thunder Gorge," Pain repeated, then said to Chiya, "Then, after I capture the Six-Tails, the Eight-Tails will be yours."

"Eight-tailed Fox. It really is me again." Chiya showed no surprise whatsoever.

Pain and Konan exchanged a glance. After a slight hesitation, Konan added, "The Eight-Tails is second only to the Nine-Tails among the nine tailed beasts. When Pain needs to capture the Nine-Tails, there is no one in the organization more suitable than you."

"I think Kisame is more suitable. He has the ability to absorb chakra and is the type that gets stronger when facing stronger opponents. With Samehada, as long as he is worried about not being able to fully transform into a tailed beast, capturing the Eight-Tails should not be a problem." Chiya shifted the blame to Kisame.

"Moreover, besides the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki himself, we also need to consider the Raikage and the entire Kumogakure. The Eight-Tails Jinchuriki is the Raikage's younger brother, and fighting the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki will inevitably create a big commotion. At that time, the Raikage and his Kumogakure ninja will be a problem."

"I think it would be more appropriate for me and Pakura to hold off the reinforcements from Kumogakure, while Kisame goes to capture the Eight-Tails."

"Mr. Chiya, you flatter me." Kisame was taken aback after hearing Chiya's words, then a flattering smile appeared on his face: "As expected of Mr. Chiya, you are able to understand my information so thoroughly without ever having witnessed my battle."

"Of course, after all, I was an Anbu in Konoha for a year. I even found out that Danzo had transplanted Sharingan and Hashirama's cells. How could I not pay attention to such famous figures as the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist?" Chiya crossed his arms.

"Hehe." Kisame neither completely believed nor completely disbelieved Chiya's words. He glanced at Itachi and asked Chiya, "Then why didn't you include Mr. Itachi just now?"

"Taking care of a filial son, and dealing with his stupid Ototo, let's wait until he survives." Qianye curled his lips. In his mind, this guy who killed his father and mother was already a dead man. Even if he didn't die at Erzhuzi's hands, he would die of illness.

Kisame suddenly realized, "I see. But I think Sasuke Uchiha won't be so lucky this time when he encounters Mr. Chiya, given your strength."

"That depends on whether he's a dutiful son or not. If he doesn't mind me killing Erzhuzi," Qianye said, looking at Itachi with amusement.

Itachi frowned slightly and said in a cold voice, "I will handle this myself, and besides, he has something I need."

"See, that's it." Chiya shrugged slightly at Kisame.

Kisame nodded slightly, his gaze towards Itachi now more complex, thinking to himself, "So he still can't bring himself to harm his own brother?"

"Then let's talk about capturing the Eight-Tails after we've sealed the other seven tailed beasts. Itachi, Kisame, bring the Four-Tails over as soon as possible to seal it together with the Three-Tails. Disperse."

After saying that, Payne deactivated the slideshow.

Five days passed in the blink of an eye.

Akatsuki, Konoha, and Sasuke are all taking their own actions.

Akatsuki sealed the Three-Tails and the Four-Tails.

Konoha dispatched a combined team of Team 7 and Team 8, led by Kakashi, on a mission to capture Itachi Uchiha alive. Their intention was to find Sasuke by capturing Itachi.

After gathering his companions, Sasuke embarked on a journey to search for the Akatsuki organization in order to obtain information about Itachi Uchiha.

"It's finally finished. These days have been tough. Even with Yekura's help, the Nine Seals of the Illusionary Dragon still took quite a while."

Inside the dark, sealed cave, Qianye stretched as soon as he finished sealing the tailed beast.

"What are you, a shadow clone, complaining about how hard it is?" Konan glanced at Chiya with disdain.

Just five days ago, upon hearing that another seal was about to be placed, this guy, relying on his abundant chakra, used the "Reverse Summoning Technique" to go home and spend time with his wife and children.

"Heh, you've been found out?" The shadow clone chuckled awkwardly, asking with some surprise, "How did you know?"

"I'm a sensory ninja. Although you've set up a barrier around your place, there isn't one outside. I haven't sensed any of your family's chakra these past few days. They only stay indoors when you're around." Konan rolled her eyes. As expected, this old pervert was up to his old tricks again.

Qianye smiled faintly, not denying it, and turned his gaze to Yecang, asking, "Yecang, how does it feel to join the seal for the first time?"

"Being unable to move or eat or drink for five days is indeed something no ordinary person can endure. I can only rely on chakra to keep going." Yekura sighed softly. Fortunately, she had Senzu Beans, otherwise she would probably have gone crazy.

"Of course, it's incredibly tough, um." Upon hearing this, Deidara seemed to have found a kindred spirit and began to complain bitterly.
