Ninja villages in various countries basically have a zero-tolerance attitude towards defecting ninjas.

In particular, this kind of S-class defecting ninja that threatens the security of the village and the country is a thorn in the side of the village and a thorn in the flesh.

But for Akatsuki, this is undoubtedly a good opportunity to win over Kisame Inakisaki.

Xiao currently has the correct manpower. Compared with the personnel of the peripheral organizations, the core members of the inner circle are the most difficult to recruit.

So far, Orochimaru and the others are still the main ones, working very hard for the organization.

If a powerful ninja can be roped in to join Akatsuki at this time, Akatsuki's plan can be put on the schedule as soon as possible.

Kisame Inigaki is one of the defected ninjas on the watch list this time.

"After defecting, will you work in the underground black market?"

Nagato thought for a moment.

To be honest, Kirigakure is the most difficult ninja village to collect information among the five major countries.

Before the First Ninja War in Kirigakure Village, its village leader, the second generation Mizukage Kiden Gengetsu, adopted various institutional policies that imitated Konoha, established ninja schools and ANBU institutions, and strengthened the military strength of Kirigakure Village.

.Not only that, the second generation Mizukage Kito Genzuki has always advocated a confidentiality policy.

The so-called confidentiality policy means absolute confidentiality regarding the life and ninjutsu abilities of ninjas.

This kind of secrecy is adopted not only for ninjas from other villages, but also for ninjas from one's own village.

Secrecy originated from the second generation Mizukage, Kiden Gengetsu, and was finally pushed to its peak by his disciple, the third generation Mizukage.

Although in recent years, this so-called secrecy has been somewhat abandoned after the Fourth Mizukage Gotachibana Yagura came to power, but considering the long-standing style of Kirigakure Village, it cannot be lifted in a short while.

This also made it more difficult for Akatsuki to obtain information about Kirigakure Village.

If you think about it carefully, since Kirigakure participated in the First Ninja War, it did not appear on the stage in the Second Ninja War and the Third Ninja War.

If the Fourth Mizukage hadn't launched a coup before taking office as Mizukage, all countries would still be in the dark about the dire situation inside Kirigakure Village.

During the Third Ninja War, ninja villages in various countries suffered heavy losses, and the same was true for Kirigakure Village.

The difference is that the ninja villages in other countries lost a large number of ninjas due to foreign wars, while the ninja casualties in Kirigakure Village were purely due to the outbreak of civil war.

This is also the reason why people in Kirigakure Village are secretly laughing at them now.

It's just a matter of ridicule, no one dares to look down on any great nation's ninja village.

Kirigakure Village has lived up to its high expectations in recent years, recovering and developing at an extremely fast rate, and the graduation rate of ninja school students is also increasing year by year.

In such a good situation, the Daimyo of the Water Kingdom died mysteriously, and Kisame Ingaki, one of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen, defected and became an S-class defector ninja, causing the Kirigakure Village and the Kingdom of Water to fall into the trap again.

into the eyes of the world.

Based on this situation, in order to recruit new people to the organization, Nagato had the intention of recruiting Iniki Kakisame.

For this reason, he asked Bai Zetsu to collect information about Inikisaki Kisame. Whether it was after the defection or before the defection, the information had high reference value.

Not long after he became a rebel, he quickly moved to work in the underground black market. This shows that his life is in embarrassment and he has lost his source of money to maintain his livelihood. The underground black market is the only place where he can support his family.

But there are still problems.

Nagato frowned and asked: "What is the reason for Kisame's defection? Have you figured it out?"

Yes, Kirigakure Village has never announced the specific reason why Inikigaki Kisame defected to the Ninja Village.

Because of the "unknown" criminal motive, the senior management of Kirigakure Village identified him as an S-class defector ninja.

To Nagato, this was a very unbelievable thing.

There must be other secrets hidden in Kisame Kisaki.

What is even more coincidental is that the mysterious death of the Daimyo of the Land of Water occurred together with the defection of Iniki Kaki and Kisame.

The two things are involved together, and it is not difficult to imagine that there is some inevitable causal connection.

At least, that's what Nagato thinks.

Bai Zetsu chuckled and said to Nagato: "According to the information I collected, Inogaki Kisame was when the fourth Mizukage Gotachibana Yagura went to the Daming Mansion to attend a meeting. While the fourth Mizukage was resting, Inogaki Kisame

Kisame suddenly attacked a large number of high-level officials of the Kingdom of Water, including the daimyo. Among them, the daimyo of the Kingdom of Water died on the spot, and several senior officials were also seriously injured. Fortunately, the Fourth Mizukage Yagura arrived in time.

Stopping it prevented it from causing a bigger tragedy."

"What's the reason for his attack on the Daimyo of Water Country?"

Nagato asked.

Regarding the causal relationship between these two things, anyone with a discerning eye can find some interesting things in them.

But compared to this, Nagato was more concerned about the reason why Kisame Kisame attacked the Daimyo of the Land of Water and killed him.

This is very important to Nagato.

Bai Jue thought for a moment and said, "Nagato-sama, you should have heard about the Blood Mist Sect."

The Blood Mist Sect was a factional organization that secretly controlled a large amount of real power in Kirigakure Village before the Fourth Mizukage Gotachibana Yagura came to power.

They adopted extremely extreme strategies to transform the ninjas in Kirigakure Village and eliminate dissidents, so that the sky above Kirigakure Village was filled with a bloody aura like blood mist all year round, calling for ominous omens.

However, this faction was annihilated by the new Mizukage Yagura after the fourth generation Mizukage Gotachibana Yagura successfully launched a coup. Currently, within Kirigakure Village, the Blood Mist Sect has disappeared and completely lost its traces.

"Kisaki Kisame is a ninja of the Blood Mist Sect?"

Nagato also heard about the Blood Mist Sect.

"Yes. He was originally one of the Seven Former Ninja Swordsmen and a subordinate of the Watermelon Mountain Blowfish Demon. After the death of the Watermelon Mountain Blowfish Demon, he was taken into custody by Yagura. Later, for some unknown reason, he was released by Yagura and became a

He is one of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of Kirigakure Village, and he masters the large sword Samehada. It is said that before he defected, he was one of Yagura's guard jounin, and he was highly trusted by Yagura."

Bai Jue told the information he had heard.

"The Blood Mist Sect, detained, released, became the Seven Ninja Swordsmen, the Mizukage's cronies... and finally defected... This is really an extremely complicated ninja resume."

Nagato frowned in thought.

"Not only that, but according to the information I have received, the Blood Mist Sect that developed within Kirigakure Village seems to be driven by a daimyo from the Land of Water, controlling the situation behind the scenes."

"In other words, is this defection an act of revenge by Kisame out of resentment towards the Daimyo of the Land of Water for ruthlessly abandoning the Blood Mist Sect?"

Nagato quickly figured out the key.

In fact, this is not difficult to imagine.

Things seem complicated, but in fact, once you know the causes and consequences, this matter is no longer a mess, but an incomparable logical relationship with traces to follow.

The Daimyo of the Land of Water was behind the scenes to support the growth of the Blood Mist Sect, thereby gaining access to the military power within Kirigakure Village.

However, the rise of the Blood Mist Sect, although it relied on bloody methods to suppress the voices of many opponents, also aroused the resistance of many Kirigakure ninjas.

Among them, the biggest opponent is Goju Yagura.

Therefore, Gotachibana Yagura launched a coup, expelling the ninjas of the Blood Mist Sect from within the Kirigakure Village, and thereby ascended to the throne of the Fourth Mizukage.

After that, the Daimyo of the Land of Water did not hesitate to abandon the remnants of the Blood Mist Sect, and instead supported Yagura as the victor. This act of adding insult to injury and only focusing on protecting himself undoubtedly angered the remnants of the Blood Mist Sect.

In Kirigakure Village, even though Yagura is a Mizukage, he has forgotten Kisame's past identity and even given him a heavy responsibility.

However, his identity as a ninja of the Blood Mist Sect still brought great inconvenience and trouble to Kisame in Kirigakure Village.

Even Yagura couldn't eliminate the villagers' rejection and resentment towards Kisame.

The villagers of Kirigakure Village would not trust a ninja who was once a member of the Blood Mist Sect.

Kisame, who had endured to the limit in the village, had no choice but to make the irrational choice of defecting.

Taking advantage of the great opportunity of Mizukage Mikura's meeting with the Daimyo of the Country of Water, he borrowed his identity as the Mizukage's guard to kill the Daimyo of the Country of Water. This was a way of saying "farewell" to Kirigakure Village, and it was also a way of adding insult to injury.

A kind of revenge for the Daimyo of the Land of Water.

Nagato knew exactly what happened after that.

Kisame, who became an S-class defected ninja, was homeless and could only rely on trading platforms such as the underground black market to earn living expenses to survive in the ninja world. It can be said that he lived a very embarrassing life as a ninja.

"It should be what you guessed, Nagato-sama. He is now being chased and assassinated by the Kirigakure village's pursuit troops from time to time. If we go over now to help him cover up his traces and escape from the Kirigakure pursuit troops, he will definitely shed tears of gratitude. Later.

Recruit him in one fell swoop and join the organization."

Bai Jue thinks that recruiting Kisame to join Akatsuki is just a piece of cake.

Because no matter how glorious your identity was in the past, once you become a rebel ninja, you have to start all over again.

Only with the help of Akatsuki's power can Kisame avoid the pursuing troops in Kirigakure Village.

Facing a complete state machine, even an S-class defecting ninja can only rely on strategy.

"After observing for a while, we can't make a hasty judgment like this. If there is really no problem with him, it won't be too late to recruit him. I'll leave this matter to you, Bai Jue."

The core members of Xiao are bound to be unable to pass through a simple review like the peripheral members.

Without personal recommendation from core members, if you want to become a core member of the organization, you need to undergo a strict review to determine whether you are suitable to be inducted into the organization and contribute to the organization.

"Yes, then I will go over and continue the investigation. Wait for my good news, Nagato-sama."

Bai Zetsu smiled and was about to sneak into the floor and leave when Nagato asked again:

"How is the arrangement in Konoha?"
