While Kuroto is busy dealing with the Byakugan sales issue and paying off the debt of Senju Tsunade, two newly formed Akatsuki teams, consisting of Kaguya Takashi, pay off the Senju debt, with Chinoike Mageta and Hoshigaki Kisame with Yuki Kahyo also moving in the newly reformed country.
The mission of these two teams is to eliminate Orochimaru, and according to the intelligence provided to all four by Senior Tobi, their target, Orochimaru was seen in the country several times.
After arriving at the border of the Land of Sound, and the Land of Fire, the four of them did not rush into the Land of Sound, but rather hid in the forest around the border waiting for the arrival of the team leader.
As per the instructions given to them by the so-called Zetsu, the official members of the organization will meet with them in this small forest, the, and then the five of them will venture deeper into the Land of Sound to eliminate Orochimaru.
But they had waited for quite a while now, yet there had been no signs of this so-called leader, which made Takashi a little impatient, “Is anyone coming, or are we left alone as it was yesterday? a time? If this continues to happen, then it will be very disturbing.”
Kisame said with a grin, “Maybe our captain has to face some problems and cannot come at the right time, like last time.”
Kahyo fell silent and watched the three talk while sitting on a stone bulge.
At this moment, Mageta said, "Everyone remains alert, someone is approaching."
Whooshing sound…
Not long after Mageta's words, a figure appeared in front of them.
Similar to the other four, he also wore Akatsuki's turtleneck robe and had a large sword strapped to his back, this was none other than Biwa Juzo, one of Kirigakure's seven swordsmen.
The four of them were shocked when they saw the person who appeared in front of them.
Kisame said, “Ah. Does Akatsuki want us nuke-nin Left to stick together or something?”
Juzo sighed, “Don't ask me.. I don't actually want to do this, but the leader commands.so anyway, the five of us will search this country to find traces of the traitor Orochimaru, and kill him.” And announce the mission.
The four nodded, they were well aware of this.
Juzo looked at them with a helpless expression, he was indeed eager to deal with the other Kirigakure shinobi, but what was permissible, orders were orders, and he had to follow them.
In fact, other than Obito's intention to reunite the former Kiri shinobi, one of the main reasons why Akatsuki sent him was a different story altogether.
It was Obito's supposed death. It was he who held Ni'i Yugito, Jinchuriki Nibi in Genjutsu, but because Obito 'died' in Homusubi's hands, then Genjutsu in Yugito was released, thus, he regained consciousness, and so on, and obviously he tried to escape. .
Nagato and Konan were not present at the base, as Nagato had to familiarize himself with his new powers, so Sasori had to make and repair all his puppets, and familiarize himself with the new form of puppetry. The same thing happened to almost all of the other Akatsuki members, so the only people watching Ni'i Yugito around were the Zetsu and Kakuzu Clones.
Ni'i Yugito tries to sneak out but can't because of the Zetsu Clone, angry and embarrassed for being a puppet, Yugito fully frees Nibi in an attempt to forcibly exit the base, Nibi fully cooperates with him so that Yugito's displayed power is the perfect Jinchuriki, which is far more than what Kakazu himself can handle, and then we all know how it goes, he said, Kakuzu is brutally beaten, even if he is strong and has five lives, that doesn't change.
Four of the five hearts that Kakuzu recently stole to replenish his heart after the Peak War were destroyed by Yugito, in fact, were, the latter's heart would also be destroyed if not for the fact that it managed to sneak into the earth in time.and Uchiha Shinichi and Hiruko who were summoned by the Zetsu Clone came out and pressed the cat in time.
Although Yugito is controlled, however, the damage done to poor Kakazu cannot be undone, just a few days ago he replenished his five hearts and planned to do some reward missions to earn a portion of his dearest fortune. , but the warm heart he worked so hard to get was gone again.
Afterwards, Akatsuki learns the reason why Yugito managed to escape from Genjutsu.
However, this incident also made them understand that Genjutsu alone was not enough to control Jinchuriki because once the casters were in serious trouble, control over Jinchuriki would weaken. And that's where Nagato comes in, with his Black Chakra receiver, Nagato will be able to take control of Jinchuriki, but it will take time for Nagato to finish his training session and come back, so until then neither Shinichi nor Obito/Tobi Junior should have been keeping an eye on Yugito.
And since Shinichi had to keep Yugito, therefore Juzo was free for now, therefore, he was sent by Akatsuki to the Land of Voices as the leader of the four new members, so he was sent by Akatsuki to the Land of Voices, the goal is to assess the abilities of the new members and also assist them in eliminating Orochimaru, if possible.
Akatsuki was not so adamant about eliminating Orochimaru, first because they also understood that Killing Orochimaru was not easy, even if Orochimaru could be defeated, but killing him was another matter altogether. And the second reason was because Black Zetsu was secretly interested in one of the Kinjutsu that Orochimaru was researching.
So, sending these five members after Orochimaru also aims to test the newly created Kinjutsu.
These five people have not realized it yet, but Otogakure is actually not a real shinobi village, but rather a network of laboratories consisting of various hiding places and bases scattered throughout the Land of Sound and various other countries including the Land of Wind, Land of Grass, Land of Waves, Land of Rivers, Land of Seas, as well as the Demon Land along with several other countries.
After a day of searching based on the intelligence provided to them by Senior Tobi, the five of them finally arrived at a Village, a village, which they think is somehow connected to a mysterious Shinobi Village called Otogakure which is further connected to Orochimaru in some way.
This was a dilapidated little village, most of the houses here seemed to have caught fire, and others had collapsed. From the first glance, it looked as if the village had been abandoned for many years.
After looking around, Kisame asked puzzledly, "What would Orochimaru do in a place like this?"
Kahyo said in an indifferent tone, "Maybe looking for something?"
Juzo thought of Kahyo's words, and it seemed plausible with Orochimaru's character, so he instructed, “See around more carefully, it's possible that we found some clues that will lead us to Orochimaru.”
But different from the other four, Mageta frowned when she saw the village, then said, "What we see is not real, it's Genjutsu!"
"Genejutsu?" Everyone exclaimed and instantly messed up their Chakras.
After the chakra disturbance, the scene in front of them changed completely, they were not in the village but were in the forest, and were surrounded by many shinobi.
Each of them wore unusual clothes that did not belong to the known shinobi village. Their uniform consists of a bright lavender color, and a common part of their clothing is a strap-like belt tied with an inverted bow around their waist. In addition, they also wear a forehead protector with a musical note symbol.
Kahyo asked puzzledly, "What are the children doing here?"
What makes them even more frown is the fact that these shinobi are small children between the ages of 7 and 13, even the oldest among them seems to be only about 16 years old.
The oldest of the children, who had short brunettes asked, “Who are you and what are you doing here?”
Mageta asks, "Are you the shinobi children of the newly established Otogakure?"
The eldest of them nodded, and asked, "Yes, and what do you guys want from us?"
Takashi asks Juzo, "What to do with these kids?"
Juzo put his hand on the hilt of Ikiribocho, and said, “They are only children, what to think? Just eliminate them! ”
But Kahyo interrupted Juzo immediately, “No! They are only children, our target is Orochimaru, nothing says about killing a small child!”
Juzo said, “I don't care if they're children or not, we need information about Orochimaru's whereabouts, and they most likely have it. So there's no reason to let them escape.”.
In their eyes, children or not, no problem, the important thing is to complete the mission.
But Kahyo still shook her head, and said in a cold tone that clearly stated that she would not accept otherwise, “Even if it was true, they should not be killed, either, paralyze or make them faint, but no one will kill them. !”
Sensing the drop in temperature around them, the other four looked at each other helplessly, Juzo said with******* helpless, "Do as he says, don't kill them, don't kill them, knock them unconscious and tie them up."
The other three nodded, then began to move with the aim of bringing down the children quickly.it was just that no one here really understood that these children were not that simple, either, and even a momentary doubt towards these children would result in death.
After all, these children had been personally trained by Orochimaru.
