It can be said that from this moment on, Akatsuki began its expansion.

However, due to various reasons, the two leaders, Nagato and Obito, one visible and one hidden, also quietly started their fight.

This invisible confrontation also laid the groundwork for the Akatsuki organization to split into two teams in the future.

However, there are undercover agents from Cang Si in both groups.

Chapter 558: Orochimaru Enters Akatsuki

In the Land of Sound, Tendo Pain has destroyed several of Orochimaru's experimental bases.

"I think Orochimaru should have received the news and will come here on his own initiative." Nagato said to himself as he looked at another laboratory enveloped in flames and thick smoke.

Although Zetsu provided him with the approximate location of Orochimaru, the Land of Sound was still a country no matter how small it was, and Orochimaru was naturally cautious.

Therefore, Tendo Pain simply found a few of Orochimaru's bases and pushed forward.

The purpose is to lure Orochimaru out.

The Land of Sound is Orochimaru's base. If he doesn't want to abandon this place, he will come here anyway when so many experimental bases have been destroyed by outsiders.

After all, the battle has come to my hometown, where can I run to?

What's more, Orochimaru is still unclear about the strength of Tendo Pain. Considering the arrogance of one of the three legendary ninjas of Konoha, he would not be afraid to show up.

To be honest, Nagato would be disappointed if Orochimaru was so scared by him that he didn't dare to show up.

You know, the other party is one of the three legendary ninjas of Konoha!

On par with his teacher.

Even though he had given up the so-called master-disciple relationship between him and Jiraiya, in the deepest part of Nagato's heart, he still maintained a certain respect for Jiraiya.

Since Orochimaru is as famous as Jiraiya, I don't think he would be so cowardly.

Nagato couldn't help but recall the scene when he, Yahiko and Konan met Jiraiya, Orochimaru and Tsunade in the Land of Rain.

At that time, Yahiko was still alive, and the leader of the Rain Country, the demigod Hanzo, had just awarded the title of Konoha's Three Ninjas.

Orochimaru's first attitude towards the three of them was to want to kill them, saying that he wanted to relieve the suffering of the war orphans.

However, in the end, Orochimaru was stopped by Jiraiya before he could take any action.

If Jiraiya hadn't been there at that time, the three of them might have died.

Nagato now thinks that if the three of them had died together, it might have been a good thing.

That way, he and Xiaonan wouldn't have to feel the pain all the time.

Of course, such an unrealistic idea only flashed through Nagato's mind for a short while.

Immediately afterwards, Nagato controlled Tendo Pain again and walked towards Orochimaru's next research base.

On the other side, in Orochimaru's core research base, Orochimaru, who was still doing experiments, suddenly received news from his subordinates reporting.

This made Orochimaru, whose experiment was already at a critical moment, frown.

Before this, his subordinates had indeed come to report to him that the experimental base had been attacked.

However, he didn't take it too seriously and just asked some of his ninjas to handle it.

However, these continuous reports still made Orochimaru feel something was wrong.

There was no other way, Orochimaru had to put down the experimental project he was working on and take a look at what had happened that was so serious that none of his subordinates could handle it.

"What exactly happened? If you can't give me an explanation, there will be a place for you on the experimental bed today." Orochimaru said these terrifying words in the calmest tone.

In an instant, his men in front of him all knelt down, trembling.

Finally, the leading researcher said in a trembling voice: "Master Orochimaru, five of our experimental research bases have been destroyed by the enemy. Even the ninja you sent to deal with this matter has not sent back any news. Now, the enemy is heading towards the sixth experimental base."

After saying this, the researcher closed his eyes and lowered his head as if resigned to his fate.

From now on, his life or death will depend entirely on Orochimaru's mood.

After listening to the report from his subordinates, Orochimaru's vertical snake pupils shrank, and a terrifying cold aura directly attacked all the people present.

This made the already frightened subordinates tremble even more violently.

In fact, generally speaking, Orochimaru is easy to talk to when he is not angry.

However, once the snake

Maru's experiment was affected, causing him to go into a state of rage, and everyone could be put on the experimental bed.

It was obvious that Orochimaru, who was interrupted at a critical stage of his experiment, was on the verge of a rage.

In addition, when he heard that all the men he sent to deal with the matter were killed, even though Orochimaru didn't say anything now, he was definitely furious.

But what else can we do if our subordinates can’t handle it?

Therefore, he had no choice but to go there in person.

"It seems that some ordinary subordinates are no longer useful. I must train some helpers who can stand on their own and help me deal with important matters." Orochimaru couldn't help but think in his heart.

No matter how many ordinary subordinates there are, they are all rookies. Only the strong ones can stand up in this situation and get everything done when it is not convenient for them to show up.

After glancing at his subordinates who were kneeling on the ground and trembling uncontrollably, Orochimaru said nothing more and just walked through them.

After Orochimaru left, these people's tense nerves finally relaxed.

Then they all collapsed on the ground in a humiliating manner, covered in cold sweat, some even had their clothes soaked.

This is what it's like to escape death, right?

"Huh, I survived." I don't know who said this.

Then, everyone looked at each other and smiled bitterly.

Under Orochimaru, capable people can be reused, but useless people are only fit to be experimental materials!

Outside, just as Tendo Pain arrived in front of Orochimaru's sixth experimental base, Orochimaru appeared and blocked him.

"Orochimaru, you finally show up?" asked Tendo Pain expressionlessly.

"Hmm? Are you the one who has been destroying my experimental base?" Orochimaru stuck out his long tongue, licked his lips, and showed a cruel smile.

However, for some reason, Orochimaru suddenly felt that Tendo Pain's appearance was somewhat familiar, as if he had seen him before.

But, for a moment, Orochimaru couldn't remember. ..

After all, that memory was too old, and it was when Yahiko was a child, not to mention that Yahiko's personality was quite enthusiastic and cheerful at that time.

The current Tendo Pain, who was created by Nagato using Yahiko's corpse, has a completely paralyzed face.

If Orochimaru could remember it instantly, that would be weird!

However, Orochimaru then diverted his thoughts and no longer worried about whether he had ever seen Tendo Pain.

Because he discovered the unusual eyes of Tendo Pain!

Even if Orochimaru couldn't remember Yahiko's memory for the moment, he had seen those eyes more than once when he was looking for ancient books!

"Is that the Rinnegan? The legendary eyes of the Sage! Do such eyes really exist in the ninja world? It's incredible, so wonderful!" Orochimaru couldn't help but stare at Tendo Pain's eyes in a trance.

How could Orochimaru not be moved when these legendary eyes suddenly appeared in front of him?

If he had known that the owner of the Rinnegan was coming to him, he would have dropped the experiment he was conducting and ran over as soon as possible, instead of waiting until now.

The greed in Orochimaru's eyes and his coveting of his own Rinnegan also caught Nagato's attention.

Of course, this is actually a good thing for Nagato.

He was not afraid that Orochimaru had a desire for Akatsuki, but he was afraid that the other party had no desire, which would be a bit difficult to deal with.

Nagato had only two requirements for those who joined the Akatsuki organization: one was that they must not attack their companions, and the other was that they must obey the orders of the organization.

The rest is up to you to do whatever you want.

As for Orochimaru, it is obvious that he is a guy who will never be satisfied. Nagato had already judged this in his heart when he first saw the current Orochimaru.

"Orochimaru, you only have one choice now, surrender to me and join the Akatsuki organization!" said Tendo Pain coldly.

"Haha, interesting. I didn't expect that the legendary Samsara Eye actually existed and appeared in front of me. Then, I will accept it without hesitation!"

Orochimaru, who was filled with greed, ignored what Tendo Pain was saying and rushed towards him like a snake.

It was so fast that most people probably couldn't react in time.

However, Nagato, who possessed the Rinnegan, saw all of this clearly.

Orochimaru's speed is far inferior to that of Mizunoe Jin, this is Nagato's judgment.

"Hahaha, the Rinnegan is mine!" Orochimaru, who had already rushed to the front of Tendo Pain, shouted with crazy laughter.

His right hand had already stretched out, and at this moment, it was less than an inch away from Tendo Pain's eyes!

Seeing that he was about to succeed, Orochimaru's joy was almost beyond words.

This can be seen from the expression on his face.

However, Tendo Pain still did not move, but just uttered four words lightly.

"Shinra Tenzheng!"

In an instant, a terrifying repulsive force emanated from Tendo Pain's body and hit Orochimaru who was rushing towards him hard.

At this moment, Orochimaru felt as if he was knocked away by an eighteen-ton boulder.

Facing this repulsive force with my whole body, I couldn't resist it at all!

"Ugh!"

"Rumble"

As Orochimaru screamed, a large area of ​​earth and wood behind him was blown away.

Thick smoke rolled up, obscuring the view.

Gradually, after the smoke and dust cleared, Orochimaru was lying on his back among the pile of rocks and earth.

His body was covered with scratches and there was blood at the corners of his mouth. He looked really miserable.

With just one move, Tendo Pain injured Orochimaru.

Although he was not seriously injured, there are probably not many people in the entire ninja world who could beat Orochimaru into this state with one blow.

Of course, this is also because Orochimaru was too greedy and only thought about seizing Pain's Rinnegan, while neglecting his own defense.

If Orochimaru had been more cautious and not been blinded by his desires, he might not have ended up in such a mess.

Another thing is that he is not familiar with the abilities of the Rinnegan.

All these reasons combined have led Orochimaru to this point.

"tread"

The sound of footsteps reached Orochimaru's ears, and he struggled to get up from the ground.

"Hoohoo!"

Orochimaru was breathing heavily, and now he felt pain in all his bones.

"Orochimaru, it's time to make your choice, surrender, or..." Tendo Pain continued to ask coldly.

I believe that anyone with a discerning eye can understand the meaning of the second half of the sentence.

And with Orochimaru's cleverness, how could he not know?

It's just asking him whether he wants to die!

Orochimaru frowned for a moment, then quickly relaxed.

Although he was absolutely sure that he could escape from the mysterious strong man in front of him, the Kingdom of Sound was his home after all.

A monk can run away, but a temple cannot!

If he really ran away, the Kingdom of Sound that he had built with great difficulty would probably be destroyed.

For the time being, the Land of Sound is still useful to Orochimaru, and he does not want to give up this place.

The main reason is that he has established too many experimental bases here, and many things have not been transferred yet.

If all this were to be destroyed, it would be all the hard work!

In addition, to be honest, he still hasn't given up his covetousness for the Rinnegan.
