Naruto, this is called Kuuga, not White Zetsu

Jiraiya interrupted their conversation and rubbed his brows: "Chihiro, you too, although you are a little faster, but you are hurting your body, testing toxicity, etc., try not to use this method in the future. This is not in line with the style of Konoha ninjas. If Tsunade finds out, I will definitely be the one in trouble."

Seto Chihiro's mouth twitched, he remembered Tsunade's 'kind' expression after he told her about his encounter with Jiraiya, and then he heard from Naruto that Jiraiya seemed to have been lying in the room for many days.

If he remembered correctly, ever since that incident, Jiraiya hadn't been seen unless he took the initiative to look for him.

"Master Jiraiya, so what should we do now, or should we wait for the Rain Ninja to gather good news, and then we and Hanzo will take on Nagato together?"

Jiraiya nodded, then shook his head: "Hanzo will not join us to deal with the Akatsuki organization. Now that Hanzo's side has been dealt with, the only thing left is to convince Nagato to leave the Rain Village."

"Leaving the Rain Village?" Kakashi said, "Where else can we go after leaving the Rain Country? The Fire Country?"

Jiraiya put his hands behind his back, leaned slightly against the wall, and looked at the lights above his head with dim eyes: "I don't know how to get Nagato to leave the Rain Country and have peace talks with Hanzo."

"How about letting me fight Nagato?"

Seto Chihiro said: "I feel that the Eye of the Immortal is very challenging. As the saying goes, there is no acquaintance without fighting. I feel it is not bad to learn some ninjutsu."

Jiraiya's eyes widened, "That's absolutely not possible!"

"Why not? I defeated Hanzo!"

"Hanzo is old now, but Nagato is still in his youth. I will never agree to a fight between you and Nagato."

"This won't work, and that won't work either. So, Master Jiraiya, what do you think we should do?"

"Let me think about it..."

After Jiraiya finished speaking, he stood there and began to think about how to get Nagato to leave the Rain Country.

Nagato grew up in the Rain Country, but his teacher was a ninja from the Fire Country. The reason why Hanzo didn't want Nagato to stay in the Rain Country was that he was afraid that Nagato would become the leader of the Rain Country and the fruits of his life's hard work would become the wedding dress of other ninja villages.

When Nagato was young, he wanted to change the Rain Country just like Yahiko... But now Yahiko is dead, Nagato... Nagato...

Alas, even if Nagato doesn't want to leave the Rain Country, it seems that no one can force him to leave...

Seto Chihiro looked at Jiraiya's gloomy face and knew that the other party had not yet figured out how to deal with Nagato's problem. After all, she was not sure of winning against Nagato now.

But what he didn't expect was that before Jiraiya could figure out how to deal with Nagato, White Zetsu 9527's chakra appeared at his feet.

Seto Chihiro made up an excuse and found a place where no one was around. She slowly said, "Did you hear that? Jiraiya plans to bring Nagato to the Land of Fire."

"Jiraiya plans to take Nagato out of the Land of Fire?"

White Zetsu 9527 emerged from the ground, revealing only his upper body. After a pause, he continued, "What should I do? Lord Obito wants me to monitor your movements. Do you need me to go back and tell Obito now?"

"Wait a minute, Obito and Black Zetsu, do you have any plans for me to join the Akatsuki organization?"

"No, Lord Obito said that you are not desperate enough and planned to observe for a while. Lord Black Zetsu didn't say anything, but gave Nagato a piece of information about the alliance between Jiraiya and Hanzo, and at the same time gave Nagato the truth about Danzo's death and the Uchiha clan's genocide." White Zetsu 9527 said.

The truth about the Uchiha clan's extermination? Give it to Nagato?

Seto Chihiro reacted in her mind and knew what Black Zetsu was planning: "What's Nagato's reaction?"

"Nagato didn't react much, but Konan was a little unconvinced."

"That's it, then? Just go back and tell Black Zetsu about Jiraiya's plan."

"Is there nothing else?" Bai Jue 9527 was a little confused.

Seto Chihiro pointed at herself and asked, "What is my identity?"

White Zetsu 9527 thought for a while, then said carefully: "It was the Ultimate White Zetsu created by Mr. Ban. It exists to monitor whether Obito, Black Zetsu, and the Moon Eye Project are completed correctly."

Seto Chihiro nodded, "Madara-sama's final plan is for him to personally initiate the Moon Eye Project. I just have to make sure there are no problems with the results. That's my responsibility!"

White Zetsu 9527 always felt that this sentence was strange, but due to its inherent racial limitations, it was unable to think in a complete circle.

It instinctively felt that it was wrong, but after thinking about it carefully, it felt that it was right.

"Then I will leave, Master Xun."

"Go."

Seto Chihiro yawned and looked deeply at the place where 9527 disappeared.

It is now necessary to let Black Zetsu and Obito know that if he fails to successfully join Akatsuki, he will definitely become the most troublesome existence in this organization in the future.

"Chihiro, why are you here?"

"Oh, I just happened to be here. It's because I've never been to the Rain Country before."

Kakashi, who was standing on the top of the house, didn't think much about it. He looked around and found that he could overlook most of the Rain Country. "Let's go. There is new progress in the Rain Ninja. I heard that a ninja died."

Seto Chihiro frowned, jumped onto the roof in two steps, and followed Kakashi.

Really, he couldn't believe that the Rain Ninja could find the Akatsuki base so quickly. This efficiency was really too fast.

Ten seconds later, the two came to the podium where Hanzo had spoken before. Thunder could be heard faintly, and the sky darkened again.

Just as Seto Chihiro was about to charge into the crowd, she was stopped by Jiraiya, who let go of her arms only after the Rain Ninja had reassembled the body.

Although I didn't see the real appearance of the body, the sounds of people talking around me had already revealed the condition of the body.

"Didn't you find Ichiri's heart?"

"How strange! There are no wounds on Haihua's body. How did she die?"

"No trace of the murderer?"

Seto Chihiro's eyes couldn't help but freeze.

Kaika and Ichiri should be the names of the dead ninjas. The missing heart and the wounds on the corpses made two figures appear in his mind instantly.

"The three of them were responsible for checking the northeast direction. The one who survived intended to inform the other Rain Ninjas, but when he returned, he found that both of them were dead." Salamander Kamada explained the current situation to Jiraiya.

Seto Chihiro glanced around the crowd but did not see Hanzo.

"Thank you for your hard work. Please tell me where they died. We will handle this matter from now on."

After saying this, Jiraiya looked at Seto Chihiro and said, "Why don't you let Hydrangea stay here? It would be too dangerous to let her go with us."

Seto Chihiro looked at Hydrangea, who kept shaking her head and didn't seem to want to stay here.

but...

This was in line with what Seto Chihiro had in mind. It would be much safer for Hydrangea to follow him than to stay here. At least judging from the expressions of the surrounding Rain Ninjas, they looked down on Hydrangea.

But unfortunately, no one came forward to ask the reason.

"I respect Hydrangea's opinion, so let her come with us."

"Is that so?"

Jiraiya pondered for a moment, thinking of the various scrolls that Hydrangea was carrying, and nodded: "Let her stand at the outermost when the time comes, and we will set off!"

Just as they were about to leave, a Rain Ninja ran over from a long distance and leaned close to the ear of the Salamander Kamada. After being stunned for a few seconds, the man known as "Hanzo's Right Hand" immediately stopped Jiraiya and the others.

"What's wrong? Lord Shenda."

Jiraiya was confused, as he did not see the Rain Ninja.

"Master Jiraiya, Master Hanzo has something for me to tell you."

Kakashi stood aside, narrowing his eyes in dissatisfaction: "Even if there is something, at least let Hanzo-sama come and tell him in person, right?"

But Shenda seemed to have not heard anything and started reporting directly what Hanzo had told him to do.

"Sir Jiraiya, because Akatsuki is related to Konoha, I chose to let Konoha resolve this matter."

"Of course, in order to prevent Lord Jiraiya from being unable to eliminate the Akatsuki organization, Lord Hanzo will immediately reorganize the Rain Ninjas after Lord Jiraiya leaves, and launch an attack on the Akatsuki organization at any time. I hope Lord Jiraiya can eliminate the Akatsuki organization as soon as possible to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings."

"That is what Hanzo-sama instructed, Jiraiya-sama."

Chapter 18: First Battle with Akatsuki

"We're here, it should be here."

It started raining heavily again, and the four people including Seto Chihiro stood in the rain.

Seto Chihiro looked at the land in front of her. This was where the Rain Ninja died and it was also the place closest to the Akatsuki base.

There was no life on the muddy ground, the soil was washed away by the water, and it was raining everywhere except for the rain.

But the only difference is that the rain here seems to be endless. It is clearly a plain, but the raindrops are not only bigger than before, but also wrapped in a kind of chakra.

"What's wrong? Payne."

In the cave, Xiaonan suddenly saw Tiandao open his eyes and couldn't help asking.

"Sensei Jiraiya is here. I can sense their chakra with my Yuhu Jizai Jutsu."

A cold voice sounded from inside the cave, and the other five ninjas with the same hair color as Pain also opened their eyes. Six pairs of identical reincarnation eyes sparkled, which looked a little weird in the dim cave.

"The plan hasn't officially started yet. It's not appropriate for Payne to be exposed to other people. Let Yu Nu, Qing Long, Santai, Bei Dou, and Nan Dou delay it for a while."

Nagato Muran opened his eyes, revealing a pair of Rinnegan, a thin face, and a skinny body. His chest trembled as he spoke, and he looked very strained.

Konan hummed, took two steps, and suddenly turned back to look at Nagato: "But...if that guy called Seto Chihiro really defeated Hanzo of the Salamander, would Kakuzu and the others really be able to do it?"

"It doesn't matter. They are still valuable. I won't let them die. I will arrange for the Animal Realm to support them when the time comes."

Nagato looked at Konan's departing figure and naturally knew what Konan was worried about.

The strain that the Rinnegan put on the body was still too strong, and it took several years to recruit members for the Akatsuki organization.

Their value is not only to complete the mission and earn money for the Akatsuki organization, but also to help Pein, relieve Nagato's pressure on chakra, and complete the capture of the tailed beast...

"Really? At that time, it would have been better if I had turned that Rain Ninja into a sacrifice to the evil god as well, right?"

"Idiot, if you hadn't insisted on offering a sacrifice, how could you have let the other guy escape!"

On the other side, as Xiaonan walked out of the deepest part of the cave, he heard the sound of Santai and Beidou arguing.

The former is named Hidan, who believes in the god of death and can kill his opponents by obtaining their blood. The latter is named Kakuzu, a ninja who values ​​money more than his life and is said to have lived for more than 80 years.

"Baihu, I don't have the materials for my experiment. When will Jiraiya leave the Land of Rain?"

Xiaonan glanced at the two people sitting in the corner, one with red hair and the other with blond hair. The one who was speaking was the one with red hair, codenamed Jade Girl, whose name was Scorpion.

Compared with a few days ago, the other party's expression became a little stiffer and his tone was emotionless. It seemed that the other party's experiment had entered the final stage.

"No, Jiraiya will not leave. He has found this place now." Konan shook his head.

The listless yellow-haired boy standing next to Scorpion suddenly had a bright look in his eyes.

"Is there a mission? Do we need to kill Jiraiya?"

"Yes."

"Great! I must show off my latest work of art!"

After getting a positive answer, the yellow-haired boy suddenly became excited. His voice filled the entire cave. The Scorpion standing beside him frowned and turned his head away in dissatisfaction.

"You're disturbing me, Deidara."

"Senior, aren't you happy? I can show my art again!"

"Shut up, it's so noisy."

"Oh."

Seeing that Deidara stopped making noise, Konan looked at the remaining three people in the cave. Hidan and Kakuzu had already walked over, and Nanto - also known as Biwa Juzo, also picked up the beheading sword, and they all seemed to be attracted by Deidara's words.

Except for Itachi and Kisame who went to the Water Country to carry out the mission, the remaining five people are all the members recruited by the Akatsuki organization.

The original plan was to have Biwa Juzo and Itachi form a team, but according to Zetsu's suggestion, Kisame was obviously more cooperative with Itachi, so in the entire organization, only Biwa Juzo completed the task alone.

New members are being recruited.

"Jiraiya is here now, Jade Maiden, Azure Dragon, Santai, North Star, and South Star. The gods need to be transferred. You go up and hold him back first."

"Huh? You're a god, but you're afraid of Jiraiya."

"Shut up, Hidan."

Looking at Konan's cold eyes, Kakuzu still prefers this immortal teammate.

However, just when he was about to ask if there were any other targets, he turned around and threw three shurikens in the direction of the cave entrance. Along with the metal striking, the voice of a child talking was heard in the cave.

"Master Jiraiya, it looks like our luck is...very bad."

"Xiao...Xiaonan?!"

Jiraiya had mixed feelings and looked nervously at Konan who was slowly flying up.
