dusk.
In a cave far away from Iwagakure Village, long slanting shadows kept swaying in the candlelight.
The Akatsuki members who had been separated a few days ago were now reunited, looking at Tiandao Pain deep in the cave.
After waiting patiently for everyone to gather, Tiandao turned his attention to Orochimaru and Shen Nong and said calmly:
"Orochimaru, Shen Nong, why didn't the Jinchūriki be captured? I need to explain."
Orochimaru had a faint smile on his face and explained: "We have forced the five-tailed jinchuriki to transform into a tailed beast, but we encountered a large-scale force from Iwagakure and chose to retreat."
Shennong also added: "Although we failed to capture the Five-Tailed Jinchuuriki, the Five-Tailed Jinchuuriki also lost its combat effectiveness in a short period of time."
After his eyes stayed on the two of them for a long time, Tiandao nodded and did not pursue further.
Due to the accidents he encountered when capturing tailed beasts in the past few times, he was already used to accidents happening, but he was a little unaccustomed to them without other factors interfering with them.
After getting rid of the weird thoughts in his mind, Tiandao encouraged Hinata Zou and Hiruhu who captured the four-tailed Jinchuuriki Lao Murasaki.
Then, in order to avoid accidents, Tiandao immediately summoned the outside demons to extract the tailed beasts from the four-tailed jinchūriki.
The members of the Akatsuki organization were not surprised by the act of extracting the tailed beast. They jumped on the fingers of the heretic golem and began to assist the Heavenly Dao in sealing it into the body of the heretic golem.
A few hours later, seeing the lifeless Jinchuriki Murasaki, Nagato, who was behind everything, breathed a sigh of relief. Finally, nothing unexpected happened.
At this time, Xiaonan came over with Beiliuhu.
After seeing Tiandao, Beilihu explained his purpose of coming. He wanted to borrow the jinchuriki's body to carry out the next transformation.
Tiandao looked at Bei Liuhu for a long time and did not refuse.
The jinchuriki without the tailed beast is worthless, and Beiruhu is the hero of capturing the jinchuriki, and the experimental subjects studied also have a huge effect on the organization.
In Nagato's heart, he has long been promoted to the position of confidant and direct descendant, and he is a ninja who can be reluctantly trusted.
After pondering for a while, Nagato asked: "Bilihu, has anyone in the organization shown signs of betrayal recently?"
Bei Liuhu looked startled, and immediately revealed his suspicion.
Once he heard that Hiruhu had included almost everyone except himself on the list of possible betrayers, Nagato had no intention of asking too much.
Although his thoughts were similar to Bei Liuhu's, Bei Liuhu was particularly suspicious of members of the organization who were usually not in harmony with each other. This was not suspicion but exclusion of dissidents.
On the plateau outside the cave.
Hinagazou casually picked up a few dry branches and threw them into the fire. After watching the fire become more and more prosperous, he took out several lunch boxes he had prepared in advance.
As the bento heats up, the rice releases an attractive aroma.
At this time, a burst of footsteps came from behind.
Turning around to look at Orochimaru and Shennong walking over, Hyugazo handed over the lunch box.
"No, do you need a steaming lunch?"
"I do not need."
As if aware of the meaning of the bento, Orochimaru narrowed his eyes slightly and shook his head.
Shennong took the lunch box and said thank you softly.
On a plateau without shelter, any gust of wind may take away all the body temperature.
After finishing the lunch in a few mouthfuls, Hyugazo threw a few more branches into the fire and looked up at the sky.
Looking along Hinata Zou's line of sight, Orochimaru saw many stars. The only regret was that there was no trace of the moon.
"Is the president looking for the moon?" Orochimaru said in a faint tone.
Hinata nodded and said: "I think there may be humans living on the moon, and there may even be ninja villages."
Shen Nong smiled, looked at Hinata Zang and said: "The moon is so bare, how can there be ninjas?"
As the leader of the Sky Ninjas, Shennong is the ninja closest to the moon. Over the years, he has also used telescopes to observe the moon, but he has never found any trace of humans.
Orochimaru said thoughtfully: "If there are really ninjas on the moon, I really want to study them..."
"There will be a day when I..." Before he finished speaking, Shen Nong realized his gaffe and changed the topic: "Wait until we master the ninjutsu of flying."
Hinagazou looked at Nong deeply, and then said slowly: "Orochimaru, Beiruhu, why are you looking for me?"
Just as Shen Nong was about to say something, Orochimaru stopped him. He put one hand on his waist and said, "Nothing else. I just came here to see him for the sake of friendship with colleagues."
"The friendship of colleagues..." Hyugazo sneered: "Is there any friendship within the organization?"
"At least we have it between us."
Orochimaru glanced at Hinata Zang meaningfully, and immediately left the place with Shen Nong.
Looking at the backs of the two people, Hinata Zang was a little confused and didn't know what riddle the two were playing.
Not long after, Hinata saw a dead little snake in the fire, holding a note with only ashes in its mouth.
The moment he saw the note, Hinata couldn't help but sigh secretly.
As expected of Orochimaru, he actually noticed the existence of White Zetsu and used this method to convey the news.
If he chooses to inform Nagato, not only will there be no evidence, but it will arouse Nagato's suspicion, and the gain outweighs the loss.
The information recorded on the note was very simple. Orochimaru and Shen Nong were going to leave the team and go it alone.
Hinata Zang also guessed the reason.
As time goes by, the differences in interests between them and the Akatsuki organization become greater and greater.
Shen Nong wanted to use the Seven-Tailed Jinchuuriki as the source of power for the Sky Battleship, which conflicted with the collection of tailed beasts.
Orochimaru may have been eyeing Nagato's body and Rinnegan, but he was a little unclear as to what ability Orochimaru had against Nagato's Pain Six Paths.
The dirty earth body of the first generation and the second generation is certainly very strong, but Nagato is from the Uzumaki clan and has mastered extremely powerful sealing techniques. Sealing the dirty earth body can be said to be easy.
And Orochimaru's combat power is also at a disadvantage in other aspects, and there is no possibility of victory.
Around twelve o'clock in the middle of the night.
After the dark clouds covered the stars, the members of the Akatsuki organization walked out of the cave and boarded the back of the flying psychic beast controlled by Beilihu.
After flying into the sky, Hinata looked around and saw Orochimaru and Shennong communicating with other Akatsuki members.
As if noticing his look, Shennong turned his head and grinned.
Hinata Zang did not respond, looking down at the dark ground beneath his feet, he could vaguely see the mountains where Iwagakure Village was located.
The Ninja Village on the plateau mountains, if nothing unexpected happens, will suffer a disaster tonight.
Maybe Obito at this time has already lurked deep in Iwagakure, searching for the whereabouts of the Five-Tailed Jinchūriki.
