In Konoha, you call this a ninja tool?

"Ahem, please excuse my poor performance. I never expected Konoha to betray us."

"I'm not joining you unconditionally; I will tell you information about Konoha Village!"

The daimyo was clearly prepared; he had his subordinates organize all the documents of Konoha Village and hide them before coming.

"Oh? It seems you're quite well-prepared!"

"But you Twelve Ninjas are also amazing, you actually risked your lives for him."

Konan, standing to the side, also felt quite emotional. After all, the Land of Fire had already been destroyed, and the Twelve Guardian Ninja should have disbanded long ago.

Who knew they would travel thousands of miles to find them behind their former master's back?

“We swear to serve the daimyo to the death. Besides, given our current status, no one would accept us.”

Di Lu's face was expressionless, but his tone clearly conveyed a sense of desolation.

After all, he was the abbot of a temple in the Land of Fire. No one could accept such a drop in status if he were kicked out like this.

Not only Jiraiya, but everyone else lowered their heads, having long lost the prestige they once held as the Twelve Guardian Ninja of Konoha.

“Very good. Actually, we are currently short-staffed and naturally need you.”

"But as you know, all we need is for you to have one master. Your sworn loyalty is a real problem for us!"

As Xiao Nan spoke, she looked at the disabled name written on Asuma's back!

Sure enough, after Konan said those words, all the Twelve Guardian Ninja turned their gazes toward the Daimyo.

They came behind the daimyo's back because the daimyo had information about Konoha.

After they accept the title, they can enter smoothly.

When they heard this, they understood perfectly: all they needed was a master!

"Wait a minute, I'm not going to be your master. I just want to retire here in Xiao. I won't interfere in anything you do!"

No matter what she was called by her real name, Xiao Nan always wore a terrifying smile.

Moreover, no one around them spoke.

The sight of Hidan's head on the door terrified the Daimyo even more, causing him to fall off Asuma's back.

"Don't come any closer. I'm telling you, only I know where the information is."

"If you kill me today, you'll get nothing!"

When Daimyo said those words, Konan's expression clearly turned sour.

Indeed, although they don't need a useless person, the intelligence in the hands of the daimyo is priceless.

Perhaps there is something useful in this intelligence that they can use.

Just as Konan was about to organize the Twelve Guardian Ninjas, Asuma pulled out a map.

"Do you really think that a cripple like you can easily traverse the forest?"

As he spoke, Asuma placed the map in front of Konan.

"The Twelve Guardian Shinobi have come to join the Akatsuki organization today, bringing with them information about Konoha Village and the head of a former Daimyo of the Land of Fire!"

"You, you traitors!"

Daimyo never imagined that his most loyal confidant would betray him.

He was in such a hurry that he didn't think things through.

While they were sleeping, they climbed all the way to the place where the documents were hidden.

He had been wondering why something seemed to be missing along the way, but now he finally understood.

What was missing was danger; the surrounding area was frighteningly safe at the time, making it hard to believe that this was truly the wilderness.

Now that Asuma had said this, the Daimyo lost all his power, collapsed to the ground, and cried in despair.

Why? Why did he ruin himself because of a woman?

Now, Daiming is filled with deep regret.

If I hadn't been so greedy for beauty, I wouldn't have ended up like this, betrayed by a villain!

Meanwhile, Konan had already taken the map and then placed it in Pain's hands.

"I don't need to tell you what to do next, do I?"

Xiao Nan said with a chuckle, not treating the fat man like a human being at all!

"Of course we understand. Miss Xiao Nan, please rest. We will handle things efficiently!"

Bei immediately started flattering him, and then rushed up to mention his name.

"You fat bastard, I've had my eye on you for ages, today I'll send you to hell!"

Then, amidst the daimyo's pleas for mercy and screams, Kita ended the daimyo's sinful life.

This might be the most perfect thing Bei has ever done in his life, right?

After everything was done, Bei came running in excitedly and knelt on the ground.

"Boss, everything is done. What are your next orders?"

Bei Gen can be said to have taken the art of being a person to its extreme.

No one dislikes flattery, not even Xiao Nan.

Bei's words just now made Xiao Nan feel much happier, and she turned her head to look at Payne.

"You're all done here. Your rest room is right next door. Go and rest first. I'll give you the next instructions."

After Payne finished speaking, everyone obediently nodded, bowed to Payne, and left headquarters.

Meanwhile, Kabuto and Obito, who had been hiding elsewhere, also came out.

"It seems we've truly been given wings this time!"

Dou couldn't help but marvel at how incredibly lucky they were.

After all, their chances of success were only 50% after Tianyu left.

However, when you're sleepy, someone brings you a pillow. The arrival of the Twelve Guardian Ninjas provided them with cannon fodder, and even a plan!

The day Tenyu leaves will be the day they collect all the tailed beasts!

Just as the Akatsuki organization gained a powerful main force, Tianyu had already arrived near the Loulan ruins.

"Interesting. Loulan has such a strong aura, could it really be that the dragon vein has awakened?"

Tianyu racked his brains for a moment in his memories, and it seemed that the only thing related to Loulan, apart from the dragon vein, was nothing else.

"I'd better not go in now, let's wait for someone to come."

Tianyu had originally planned to go in and take a look himself, but suddenly he sensed three auras in the distance.

It seems someone opened the door for him for free.

Then Tianyu disappeared from the spot and hid in the darkness.

Not far from Loulan, a ninja was being chased by two people.

These two are actually wearing clothes from Konoha Village.

These two are Zhihui and Dingzuo, who were just dispatched today to investigate what happened in Loulan.

Suddenly, they spotted the wanted criminal, the centipede, and began a chase, never expecting to end up here.

"Centipede, no matter how you run, it's all in vain. Lay down your weapons and surrender now, and we in Konoha will take you as our prisoners!"

Ding's physical strength was clearly starting to decline, but the centipede's condition was even more serious.

The fact that I can run at this speed now is entirely due to willpower.

If it weren't for the fact that Konoha's mission execution is very humane, Shiki could have used insects to kill the centipede right now.

"Haha, your Konoha is indeed very well treated, but I'm going to release the ancient ruins hidden in Loulan!"

"The whole world is mine now, haha!"

The centipede laughed wildly as it looked at the Loulan ruins ahead and ran forward madly.

Wherever he went, those two Konoha Jonin couldn't do anything to him!

Meanwhile, Tianyu watched everything unfold from the shadows, following behind the three with a smile.

Currently, only centipedes have the means to break the seal. If you try to do it yourself, you'll end up breaking it with brute force.

The centipede also saw the entrance to Loulan and excitedly rushed in, while Ding and the other man stopped at the door.

Their mission was to investigate the situation in Loulan, and they now have a basic understanding of it.

Should they continue the pursuit, or go back and report?

"Now that the centipede has gone inside, we're in a difficult situation. Let's go back and ask for backup. We'll leave one of us to guard it!"

As Zhihui spoke, his body began to release the insects, since staying behind to guard the area was the clearest choice.

Ding Zuo is only facing a one-on-one duel, so he should hurry back and report the situation.

"Yes, that makes sense. I'll come back as quickly as possible. You must wait for me!"

Ding gave the order, then turned to leave.

But then, I saw a familiar smiling face.

Upon seeing the newcomer, both Akimichi Choza and Aburame Shiki immediately showed expressions of great surprise and delight.

They quickly lowered their heads and bowed to him respectfully, saying, "Greetings, Elder Tianyu."

Then both of them lowered their heads and made way for Tianyu.

They both knew that although the boy in front of them was very young,

However, his strength far surpasses theirs. After all, how could someone who can become an elder of Konoha be a simple person?

"Oh? You must be Choji and Shino's fathers. It's been a long time. I'm going into Loulan now. You two can go back together."
