For Konoha, it is not a good thing to have such a terrorist organization lurking in the dark.

Especially the agreement between him and Madara, he doesn't know to what extent it can be maintained. At the moment, he can only take it one step at a time.

He has no ability to limit Akatsuki.

If anyone takes it out, it will be worth his headache.

Not to mention, Nagato, the leader who can subdue all dangerous and rebellious people and secure a high position.

"Since you appear here, it means that you have been abandoned by Danzo. Sure enough, my past guess was correct."

Orochimaru laughed meaningfully.

He had long been aware of Danzo's surveillance of Itachi.

It can be seen that Danzo is definitely planning something on Itachi.

Now that the Uchiha clan has been exterminated and Itachi has defected to the village, what role did Konoha's top brass play in this operation? Orochimaru's smile becomes even more intriguing.

What a pathetic puppet. Orochimaru looked at Itachi's slightly childish face and thought to himself.

Let such a child shoulder the mission of exterminating the entire clan and shirk all the crimes... Orochimaru sighed softly.

Konoha is indeed no longer the Konoha it used to be.

Naruto is no longer the Hokage he used to be.

Only things change and people change.

Itachi's experience made him more determined that his choice to leave Konoha was the right one.

"Senior Orochimaru, don't get the priorities wrong. In any case, I abandoned Danzo in order to gain stronger power. This is the inevitable result. Konoha and the clan cannot be a place to measure my measure.

, nothing more.”

Itachi responded calmly and said matter-of-factly.

Orochimaru smiled and said nothing.

What a brat full of lies and falsehoods.

To a certain extent, it is really naive.

Because of this, Danzo may regard it as a 'sharp blade' to destroy Uchiha.

A clan with a glorious history has come to an end in Konoha.

Scorpion, who was in the same group as Orochimaru, only glanced at Itachi lightly, and then looked away.

I don't have time to argue with a brat.

Moreover, he had serious doubts that the other party could destroy the Uchiha clan alone.

As a famous Uchiha clan, there are definitely many jounin. Even if it is a sneak attack, it is undoubtedly a fantasy to want to wipe out the clan with the power of one person.

Combined with Orochimaru's tone just now, it seems that it involves some political disputes within Konoha, which makes Scorpion even more boring.

"Okay, now that everyone has arrived, let's officially start the meeting."

Finally, Nagato spoke, ending everyone's chat and letting them return to the topic of the meeting.

Make new friends and have plenty of time.

After hearing Nagato's words, everyone except Scorpion sat down around the rectangular conference table. Nagato was naturally the one in the main seat.

The samsara eye that has lost its emotions is like a projection from the sight of a god, putting great pressure on people.

Itachi hesitated and asked: "I just heard from Kisame that something big happened outside. Is it because of this so-called big thing that the meeting was held?"

After Itachi finished speaking, Orochimaru laughed and replied: "It seems that you don't know anything at the base, Itachi-kun. There is already a turmoil outside, and the impact of this matter is even more shocking than that of Itachi-kun, your genocide and defection."

Where are other people's eyeballs? I didn't expect that the Demon Country, which has been entering a period of rapid development since the Third Ninja War, would be taking the lead behind the scenes."

"them?"

Itachi keenly grasped the key words.

"The Kingdom of Ghosts has officially declared war on the Kingdom of Wind. Not only that, on the declaration of war made public by the Kingdom of Ghosts against the Kingdom of Wind, the signature is Chiba Shiraishi. Itachi-kun, you know what this means.

"

"!?"

Chiba Shiraishi?

Hearing this name, Itachi's expression was startled.

Nagato glanced at Itachi and said on behalf of Orochimaru: "As Orochimaru said, behind the scenes of the Kingdom of Demons, Chiba Shiraishi, Uchiha Ruri, and Hinata Ayane are in control. Not long ago, the four

The reinforcements led by Dai Kazekage suffered heavy losses under the attack of Uchiha Ruri. Now Sunagakure is planning to mobilize more troops to fight against the Kingdom of Demons."

Another familiar name.

And he is also a member of the Uchiha clan.

Although when the other party left Konoha, he had been completely eliminated by the Uchiha of Konoha.

Itachi felt incredible, but his face still showed an indifferent look, making it impossible for anyone to see the flaw.

I just feel that a group of renegade ninjas are manipulating small countries behind the scenes and declaring war on big countries. Regardless of the outcome, the end of the war... will only bring countless pain to mankind.

Itachi felt repelled from the bottom of his heart by the word war.

"I don't know how long this war will last. If not, the war will spread to other countries, triggering the Fourth Ninja War."

Orochimaru speculated so.

"Maybe it will bring war to the Kingdom of Rain... Chief, do we need to prepare anything next?"

Beiliu asked out loud.

A war has broken out between the Kingdom of Ghosts and the Kingdom of Wind, and there is a high probability that the Kingdom of Rain will be involved.

Akatsuki's headquarters is in the Kingdom of Rain. If the Kingdom of Rain is forced to get involved in such a battlefield, Akatsuki's actions will inevitably be hindered.

"No, since Qianye Baishi plans to take action, then he must have been fully prepared and will firmly control the battlefield situation in his own hands. Only when Shiquan is sure, Qianye Baishi will take action, he

That’s the kind of man he is.”

Nagato thought for a moment and shook his head, looking like he understood Shiraishi thoroughly.

"Then the next arrangement is..."

Orochimaru looked at Nagato.

"Well, what should I say? I need your help with something next."

Nagato looked solemn.

"What's up?"

Scorpion asked very interestedly.

Nagato's strength has always been a mystery among the Akatsuki. Everyone only knows that he is very strong, and may even be stronger than all Akatsuki members combined.

It must not be a simple thing that allows him to ask for help.

"Come with me."

Nagato glanced at everyone and walked out of the conference room first.

"It's really mysterious."

Beiliu whispered.

"It's probably that thing."

Orochimaru smiled as if he had some understanding.

"That thing... Orochimaru, do you know anything?"

Beiliuhu was a little surprised.

Itachi and Kisame also looked at Orochimaru, very interested in the 'thing' Orochimaru said.

Xie opened his mouth and said: "This rotten snake has studied the curse seal technique very deeply. It happens that the leader is also very interested in his curse seal technique and wants to create a ninja army that is completely curse seal. Although he is a little reluctant,

This rotten snake is the guy closest to the leader besides Xiao Nan. It’s reasonable to know some things we don’t know in advance.”

"Can I call this jealousy, Scorpion?"

Orochimaru smiled teasingly.

"Shut up, or I'll kill you!"

Scorpio's eyes are cold and his voice is hoarse and impatient.

…

At the bottom of the tower is a huge space that is completely vacuum.

It’s hard to imagine that there is such a magnificent ‘secret room’ hidden under the tower.

Candles are burning on the surrounding walls for lighting.
