Konoha: This Uchiha is not right

Thinking silently in his heart, Uchiha Zong quickly took out a pen and a new scroll, wrote something on it, and asked the lizard to send the scroll back.

"But Nagato actually came here, and their target is Scorpion. It seems that things will become interesting this time."

Uchiha Munetoshi muttered to himself, then he looked at Shisui and Kohinata Mukai.

"Things may be a little complicated this time. We need to be careful. According to reliable intelligence, our enemy may not be simple this time."

"Yes, senpai (sir)!" Shisui and Kohinata Mukai responded immediately.

Neither of them asked what happened. After all, it didn't make sense to them. They just knew they had to be serious enough.

Since even their minister said so, this matter is destined to be difficult.

"Well, there's no need to worry too much. Let's deal with what we need to deal with first."

Uchiha Zong waved his hand, and then he was the first to enter Loulan City.

Loulan was still similar to when he came here more than a year ago, except that it seemed a lot more desolate than a year ago.

The people living here seem to be in an even worse situation. It is obvious that the Sand Village's actions are indirectly forcing these people to death.

Sarah sat alone in her room, her face looking a little pale.

Over the past year or so, she has thought a lot, realized a lot, and really seen a lot of things.

Especially what the Sand Village did in the past year, even though they did not actually send out ninjas to occupy Loulan.

However, they used ninjas disguised as robbers and forced Loulan into such a predicament, which could be seen as an attempt to completely kill Loulan.

And during this year, a question often echoed in Sarah's mind: did she want the dragon vein chakra or the people of Loulan?

Although she had already given an answer to this question a year ago, the answer now became clearer and more definite.

She is the queen of Loulan. Although she has the responsibility to guard the dragon vein chakra, she also has a more important responsibility, which is to protect the residents of Loulan!

"Why hasn't he come yet? It's been so long. Could it be... cough cough cough..."

Sarah muttered to herself, but the next moment she started coughing continuously and she immediately covered her mouth with her hands.

However, when she took her hand away, she suddenly saw a hint of bright red on her hand, which made her face even paler.

"It seems that you are not feeling well. If we had come later, it would have been really too late."

However, at this moment, a voice suddenly appeared behind her. Hearing this voice, Sarah's eyes widened involuntarily.

She immediately tried to stand up regardless of her body, but a hand was already on her shoulder.

“Okay, don’t get excited, take a good rest, and we’ll take you away from here after we take away the dragon vein.

Don't worry, I remember all the promises I made."

……

In an oasis in the Kingdom of Wind, Pain and Kakuzu sat by a campfire.

They have also successfully entered the Country of Wind, and compared to the cautiousness of the Uchiha clan, they have really made it all the way.

Pain seemed to be deliberately showing off his strength. No matter whether he encountered the Anbu of the Hidden Mist or the ninjas of the Hidden Sand Village, no one could escape their sight alive.

However, Kakuzu seemed particularly calm because he had received the message from Uchiha Zong while Pain was fighting.

The message was very simple - agree to it, do the mission and gather intelligence.

This little bit of content contains a lot of information. Kakuzu knows that this means as long as he joins Akatsuki, Konoha will continue to send the intelligence within Akatsuki to Uchiha Sect.

Then Konoha will start giving itself more money according to the proportion of the task!

Along the way, Kakuzu asked about the internal situation of Akatsuki. He also knew that Akatsuki was an organization with loose management. They could do whatever they wanted at ordinary times and only needed to gather when on a mission.

This relaxed management model was no different from what he had under the Uchiha Clan, which made him even happier.

There was just one thing that made him extremely dissatisfied, and at the same time, he decided to stand on the side of the Uchiha clan, because the Akatsuki organization was actually going to withhold the money he earned from hunting bounty ninjas.

The reason is also legitimate, that is, the goal of Akatsuki is to achieve peace, and to achieve peace requires money, so the money earned must be distributed with Akatsuki in proportion.

This condition was extremely harsh for Kakuzu, who valued money more than anything else. In the original work, he agreed to it because he could not defeat Pain, and he also planned to use the Akatsuki organization to find more bounty targets.

But now, with the support of super "zaibatsu" such as Uchiha and Konoha, not only did they not deduct his bounty but also gave him money every month.

At the same time, Konoha has a huge intelligence network, and its boss Uchiha Mune is also the head of the Anbu. It is hard to say whether Konoha has any information he really wants to collect.

If that's the case, they're all working to earn money, so why should he stand on the side of Akatsuki?

"Humph, joining you is just a task from the boss. But before joining you, at least I took the bounty first. Anything is better than nothing."

Kakuzu thought to himself without making any expression that Nagato's real body was in another oasis away from this oasis.

Because he needed to control Pain, his main body couldn't be too far away, so he had no choice but to follow.

But this time, the person beside him was not Konan, but a Pain clone and a White Zetsu.

White Zetsu was left to him by the guy who called himself Uchiha Madara. Although this guy was really stupid, it was enough for Nagato.

Especially since this guy has a very strong perception, which is what Nagato needs most.

"Have you found any trace of Scorpion?" Nagato asked hoarsely. Having lived in the Rain Country for many years, he was quite disgusted with the environment of the Wind Country.

"I've got some clues. I seem to have found traces of that guy in the south of Wind Country."

Bai Zetsu spread his hands and said in his unique strange voice.

"But there are quite a few people in Sunagakure over there, and they seem to be besieging some country...

Oh, it’s called Loulan. I don’t know why there is another country inside the Kingdom of Wind, but that’s probably the situation.”

"Humph, these big countries can only bully small countries, because small countries are completely unable to resist what these big countries do."

Nagato also knew very little about Loulan, but he didn't care about it. He only remembered how much damage Konoha's invasion of the Rain Country had caused to the civilians.

Although he felt unprecedented warmth because of Jiraiya, the same people from Konoha made him lose such warmth.

In his opinion, what the Sand Village is doing to the so-called Loulan now is no different from what Konoha did to the Rain Country back then.

What's more, he got the news he wanted, so after some thought he controlled Payne and spoke.

"Kakuzu, I'm afraid we need to change direction and deal with another matter first."

"Oh? What's the matter?" Kakuzu asked with some confusion, but he was somewhat unhappy inside.

They ran to the Land of Wind to eat sand with the purpose of getting Ebizo's head. Now the temporary change of target really made him unhappy.

But he didn't get angry. After all, he was going to join the Akatsuki organization, so he had to endure it.

"We came to the Kingdom of Wind for two reasons. One is Ebizo, and the other is our future teammate, that guy is called Scorpion."

Payne's voice was extremely flat, and no emotion could be heard in his tone.

"What a zombie." Kakuzu muttered to himself, and then he spoke: "So, you got the information about Scorpion?"

"Yes, I got some interesting information." Payne nodded: "He is over there, and there are a large number of Sand Village troops over there, so I have a plan."

"Oh?" Kakuzu raised his eyebrows: "What are you planning?"

"You want to see my strength, don't you? And the guy I want to conquer will probably have to go through this test too, so..."

Payne raised his head slightly, his eyes looking into the distance.

"I'll show you all at once. By the way, if our incident becomes serious enough, then as the head of the Anbu, I'm afraid Ebizo will come here in person to gather intelligence.

Even if he doesn't come, if it's the Kazekage who comes, or that Chiyo who comes, do you think the benefits will be less?"

Pain's words instantly made Kakuzu fall into deep thought involuntarily, as if there was nothing wrong with doing this?

But after thinking about it carefully, he felt that there were some problems: "Didn't you say that it was not appropriate for Akatsuki to be exposed now? Why did you suddenly make such a decision?"

"It is indeed not suitable for exposure, that's because we have bigger ideas." Payne nodded: "But it is still necessary to show strength moderately, after all..."

"We can't make much money from hunting bounty ninjas, only war commissions can bring us more!

Besides, as long as everyone who has seen us in action is dead, then we won't be exposed too much, right?"

……

The afterglow of the early morning sun fell on the earth, and the sandstorms in the Kingdom of Wind seemed to have subsided on this day, but the scorching sun was still shining on everything in the Kingdom of Wind.

Under the scorching sun, a team of more than a hundred people was silently moving forward in the desert.

"This damn place is not a place for human beings to stay!"

Uchiha Zong was wearing a conical hat. He looked up at the sun in the sky and couldn't help cursing. This was not the first time he had done this, but he couldn't help it every time.

He felt that the most amazing thing about the Wind Country was not that they were still listed as one of the five major ninja villages, nor was it any other aspect, but that their sun protection technology was really strong!

In such a horrible environment, they actually look quite fair and tender. If they could transform such technology into commodities and sell them to the Land of Thunder, they might have made a fortune long ago.

Of course, we also have to consider the racial issues of those people in the Hidden Cloud Village in the Land of Lightning. If those people in the Hidden Cloud Village are all real gangsters, then there will be no use using these.

He sighed helplessly in his heart, turned his head and looked at Sarah, whose face was still pale, and he couldn't help but pursed his lips.

Sara's situation was very bad. Perhaps it was because the Sand Village started a retaliatory siege in the year he left, which made the situation in Loulan even worse.

As the queen, she had to think about the future of Loulan. As a result, she fell ill due to internal and external difficulties and exhaustion.

In fact, it can be seen from here that Sarah is a very responsible queen, but the existence of Loulan destined her to be unlucky.

"But where is her daughter in the original novel? Why is she gone?"

Uchiha Zong felt a little strange. He seemed to remember that Sarah's daughter was similar to Naruto, so she should have come out in the past two years.

But now there seems to be no movement, and I haven't heard that the queen got married or anything. Could it be that my appearance changed everything?

"Forget it, I won't think about it anymore. It's just a pity that I can't use her daughter to make a fuss."

When the Uchiha clan forced Sarah, they could only use the people of Loulan to threaten him.

If she had a daughter, she would just say, "Madam, you don't want your daughter to live in misery in the future, right?" I'm afraid Sarah would give in.

"But now, the goal has been achieved."

Uchiha Zong touched the ninja tool bag on his waist. Inside a sealed scroll in the bag was a special earthenware jar made by Orochimaru.

And this earthen jar contains all the dragon vein chakra that he took away this time!

Although his forceful taking of the items might have been noticed by Minato Namikaze, the fact that he hadn't reacted yet could only mean one thing.

He went to find Orochimaru, but Orochimaru stopped him directly.

After all, Orochimaru still has a 10% share of these dragon vein chakras. How could he possibly give up something he has obtained?

This time the sealing was much easier than he had imagined. With Sarah's help in calming the rioting dragon vein chakra, he successfully stored them all in the sealing jar.

However, this seemed to put some pressure on Sarah's body, which made him a little worried.

"Can you still hold on?" Uchiha Zong thought for a moment, then asked, "If you can't, find a place to rest."

"I'm fine. Didn't you say you would find a medical ninja for me?"

Sara shook her head and smiled.

“I’ve waited over a year for this day and I can’t wait to get out of here.

But I am curious, where is our destination, are you really a ninja from Kirigakure?"

At first, Uchiha Zong used the identity of Kirigakure to confuse Sarah, but unfortunately she was not stupid, so she never believed it.

Now that Uchiha Zong was so committed to his promise, she couldn't help but feel curious and wanted to know who the person in front of her was.

"You will know who I am later. After all, if nothing unexpected happens, you will live with us."

Uchiha Zong shook his head. Sarah still needed to be alive to appease the dragon veins. If she died, who would help him absorb these dragon veins?

"As for where we are going, the answer is actually very simple. It is the Fire Nation."

"So, you are a Konoha ninja."

Sarah's smile grew even wider.

“It was you Konoha ninjas who sealed the dragon vein in the beginning, but I didn’t expect that it was you Konoha ninjas who took away the dragon vein now.

But it’s okay, at least everyone will have a good living environment in the future.”

Uchiha Zong smiled and said nothing. Perhaps there was some sarcasm in Sarah's words, but compared to his gains, was it important?

What's more, the people who sealed the dragon vein were his subordinates, so Minato-kun must take the blame for the embezzlement.

"My lord, there are some situations."

Just then, little Hinata Mukai suddenly ran over.
