In the deep bamboo forest, it was so silent that you could hardly feel the breath of wild animals.

The surrounding area suffered extremely heavy damage, with hundreds of meters of land being rolled up, and countless bamboos falling down, mixed with reddish-brown soil.

There are tragic traces of destruction everywhere, as well as the moist smell washed away by floods.

"call……"

He took a long breath out of his mouth, and his face looked very tired.

On the ground, lay a seriously injured ninja. He was wearing a bright red armor that was different from other ninjas, with half of his face covered.

He was completely unconscious at this moment, and most of the bright red armor on his body was damaged. The chakra in his body had bottomed out, and he completely lost his ability to resist.

Kisame continued to gasp, picked up the large sword Samehada with a tired look on his face, and placed Samehada behind his back.

Squatting on the ground, he grabbed the bright red armored ninja's back collar with his palms and dragged the ninja's body in the lightest way possible.

Arriving outside the bamboo forest, dozens of Iwagakure ninjas fell to the ground, and none of them survived.

A young man wearing a black red cloud coat stood in the center of the corpse, his eyes flashing with scarlet light, and the three magatama sharingan shined extremely conspicuously in the dim environment.

He looked at the Iwa Ninja corpse on the ground with an expressionless face. Hearing the footsteps behind him, he turned around and saw Kisame dragging a ninja over.

Iwagakure Jonin Han is also the current Five-Tails Jinchuuriki of Iwagakure Village.

In the ninja world, he is known as the "Steam Ninja" and is good at using boiling and fire escape.

Most of Kisame's black-and-red cloud coat was torn, revealing the underwear underneath, which had severe burn marks.

"It looks like it's been resolved."

Itachi said calmly.

"Don't say it so lightly. This guy is not an easy opponent to deal with. Fortunately, we got rid of him before he transformed into a tailed beast. Otherwise, you would have needed to come over and help."

Kisame grinned with his fangs grinning.

Judging from his tone, it seemed that the victory was not very easy.

"In the organization, there is no one more suitable to deal with the Jinchuriki than you. It is very easy for you to resolve the battle before the Jinchuriki transforms into a tailed beast."

Itachi looked at the sword Samehada behind Kisame. This was a very terrifying weapon.

That sword can swallow up all the tailed beast chakra embodied by the Jinchuuriki in an instant, leaving the Jinchuuriki in a weak state.

As long as the Jinchuuriki is not in perfect form, his combat effectiveness will be greatly weakened in front of Kisame.

This is probably why Akatsuki wanted to recruit him.

Kisame's various abilities are very restrained by Jinchuuriki.

Sure enough, everyone here is not a simple ninja. Itachi thought to himself.

"Maybe."

Kisame walked to the side and sat down on a rock, casually throwing the Iwa Ninja's body to the side and resting on his own.

It's not a matter of insufficient chakra. Among Akatsuki, his chakra amount is one of the best, comparable to the tailed beasts.

It's just that after a big battle, he now feels seriously mentally and physically exhausted and needs to recover.

At this moment, the soil shook slightly, and black and white mixed Jue emerged from the soil.

"Thank you for your hard work, you two. The capture of Wuwei went more smoothly than expected."

Bai Jue chuckled.

Kisame snorted lightly and answered unsatisfactorily: "Don't make it so easy, it's not you who will deal with the Jinchuriki. In this way, my target has been completed. I don't need to capture the next Jinchuriki."

Already."

Kisame looked towards Itachi intentionally or unintentionally.

According to regulations, everyone in the organization needs to capture a tailed beast.

His task target has been completed, and he can relax for a long time. He only needs to pick up the remaining tasks occasionally.

The task of capturing a jinchuriki is really tiring, and the battle is also very dangerous. If he is not careful, he will die here.

"Of course. The successful capture of the five tails this time can be said to be a good start for the organization. This is something to be happy about."

Hei Jue's deep voice sounded, but he couldn't hide a hint of excitement.

"It was indeed a wise move to recruit you in the first place. It would be great if there were more talents like you."

Bai Jue smiled greedily.

And it was many White Zetsu who discovered Kisame's talent.

Bai Jue felt even more proud, as he was indeed Akatsuki's number one hero.

If there were more spies like me, the Akatsuki organization would no longer need to be established... Kisame was slightly speechless.

However, it is good news that his abilities are relied upon by the organization.

He also kept his mission in mind. In the past few years, as long as Akatsuki was not launching an operation against Kirigakure, there was no need to pass on information to the village and he could just be a rebel nin.

Because this is an extremely important period to gain trust, you must serve the organization faithfully and faithfully, so that you can be trusted by the leader of Akatsuki.

Thinking of the leader, Kisame's eyes flashed with solemnity.

When he joined Akatsuki, he had fought with the leader on the grounds of competition.

However, that time... I didn't learn anything useful at all. Even if I knew that the opponent would use gravity to bounce or pull the enemy away from him, the force was too fierce.

So much so that he had to fight with all his strength to face the force of gravity's bounce and pulling.

"Next, we have to prepare for sealing the five tails. There is a secret base provided by Beilihu nearby. The sealing ceremony will be held there. Come with us."

Black Jue said.

"Can't you just let me rest a little longer? That's enough."

Kisame complained, but still stood up from the rock, dragged the Iwa Ninja's body, and followed with Itachi to the hidden base in the nearby area.

"correct."

Hei Ze suddenly spoke again at this time, turning his head and looking at Itachi.

"What's wrong?"

Itachi asked expressionlessly.

Black Jue paused and said: "The war in the Kingdom of Wind is over."

After hearing this, Itachi's face remained calm, but his heart tightened.

According to the investigation of Bai Zetsu in Akatsuki, the Sunagakure troops in the Kingdom of Wind also hide a Konoha troops, led by Jiraiya, one of the three ninjas.

Staring at Hei Jue's face, nothing could be seen from his dark face.

"Sunagakure was defeated, Kazekage Rasa was left with a psychological shadow, and most of Konoha's elite team that supported Sunagakure were wiped out, including the eldest son and eldest daughter-in-law of the Third Hokage, and Jiraiya, one of the three ninjas

Captured. Moreover, it is said that the number of casualties among the ninjas of the Demon Country was less than 200, but Sunagakure lost 3,700 ninjas. It was an extremely tragic end."

Hei Jue said this.

"This is really an unexpected surprise. I didn't expect this result, right, Itachi?"

Kisame had a surprised look on his face, tilted his head and smiled at Itachi.

"boring."

Itachi closed his eyes and said in a cold tone.

The ANBU minister and deputy minister were killed, and one of the three ninjas was captured. Itachi could not imagine how weak Konoha would be internally at this moment.

This is really bad news.

Bai Jueduo started laughing: "Xiao Hei and I went to the scene to observe. Chiba Shiraishi and Uchiha Ruri are really monsters. More than three thousand sand ninjas, more than half of them died at the hands of these two

Go. If a Eight Gate Armor Ninja hadn't appeared in the middle, Chiba Shiraishi probably wouldn't have needed to take action. Uchiha Ruri's Susanoo alone could have suppressed three thousand Sand Ninja, including the Kazekage."

Black Zetsu answered again: "Almost. However, Chiba Shiraishi has the ability to replenish chakra. He did not use it this time. Even if he annihilated more than 3,000 sand ninjas, it is not the upper limit of their strength. If you encounter them in the future, try to be more careful.

, although it’s useless to be careful.”

Hei never thought that these team members would be able to deal with such a monster after getting the information.

Some ninjas, even if they know their weaknesses, still can't beat them.

Just to increase the chances of these people escaping.

After all, it is quite difficult to find so many capable ninjas, and it will delay the progress of sealing the tailed beasts.

In the office.

"Five Kage Conference... It seems that Sunagakure wants to use the influence of the five major countries to put pressure on us diplomatically."

The convening of the Five Shadows Conference is already under preparation, and the location of the conference is the neutral country of Iron Country.

It is a country located at the northern end of the Ninja World Road. Different from the witch culture of the Demon Country, it is a country that advocates samurai and has a harsh climate. Like the Snow Country, it is a cold country that is buried in winter snow all year round.
