"This is the Hidden Rain Village?" Danzo looked around and murmured.
"What's wrong? Are you unfamiliar with it?" Orochimaru asked.
"Uh... not familiar." Danzo paused, then shook his head.
He had cooperated with Sansho Hanzo when Konoha eliminated the ANBU and prepared to clear out the rebels in the Hidden Rain Village. Of course, the final outcome was not very good.
Although Hanzo killed the rebellious ninja named Yahiko, he did not gain the upper hand and was eventually killed.
Strictly speaking, Yuyin Village is not a completely strange place, it's just that no one knows about it.
"I'm not very familiar with it, but the leader of Akatsuki has collected a lot of good things." Orochimaru said with a smile, "I quite like it here."
Danzo's mouth moved.
Could he not know Orochimaru's thoughts?
From the moment you enter the city gate, you have to go through tedious inspections, and the city wall is like a copper wall and an iron wall.
If you hide here, even if your opponent is the Leaf Village, it will be difficult to hurt him at all.
"Is it possible..." Danzo raised the corner of his mouth and glanced at Orochimaru.
"Don't think nonsense. I'm afraid you don't know the loyalty of the ninjas in Kirigakure Village to Akatsuki. If you dare to touch this village, they will chase you until you die." Orochimaru glanced at Danzo and thought
This old man is "unbearably vulgar".
He is different. In order to pursue endless knowledge, all he needs is "eternal life".
"I'm not that naive?" Danzo quickly denied Orochimaru's statement.
If he said that he had no thoughts just now, it would be absolutely false.
After being kicked out of Konoha, Danzo has been thinking of ways to return to Konoha - even if he can't go back, he must have power and status no less than that of Hokage.
Although hope is slim, people must always have dreams.
Obtaining the "white eye" is only the first step to achieve his goal.
"Where is the leader of Akatsuki?"
"Almost." Orochimaru smiled.
After entering the Hidden Rain Village, there were ninjas who originally led them, but Orochimaru rejected the proposal of those ninjas on the grounds that he "wanted to wander around".
On the road, there are always some words that are not suitable for others to hear.
At the end of the avenue is a three-story building made of steel, with a row of ninjas standing outside.
"The meeting point is just ahead. Be careful and don't reveal your secret." Orochimaru said in a low voice.
"Don't worry, I'm not a child either." Danzo quickly showed a cold smile.
"No, what I mean is, don't expose your ambition too obviously."
"..."
Danzo put away his stiff smile.
"Are these two adults 'Akatsuki'?" A ninja came over immediately after seeing the two of them.
"That's right." Orochimaru nodded.
"Please go to the second floor. Lord Payne will be there soon."
"Are we the first ones to arrive?" Danzo asked.
"No, someone has already arrived early." The ninja replied.
"who is it?"
"Kissame-sama and Itachi-sama, do you know each other?"
Orochimaru narrowed his eyes and licked his lower lip with his long tongue, but did not answer.
Before Sasuke grew up, Itachi was always his "best solution".
Danzo's face was not so pretty, especially when he thought about the conflict with the Uchiha clan, the anger in his heart became even stronger.
The leading ninja quickly glanced at the expressions of the two men and chose to shut up.
"Akatsuki" is an elite ninja carefully selected by Payne. Even if they have conflicts with each other, they are not something he can control.
Should I leave it to the people above?
After leading Orochimaru and Danzo to the second floor, he very "sensiblely" chose to leave.
Orochimaru opened the door, and sure enough, there were only two people in the conference room. One was Kisame standing by the window, and the other was Itachi who was already sitting at the conference table.
After the door of the conference room was pushed open, Itachi and Kisame turned their heads in unison.
"Are you... Orochimaru?" Kisame stared at Orochimaru.
He has never seen Orochimaru, but he has seen Orochimaru's bounty list, and there is a portrait on it that doesn't look like that.
"yes."
"So, you are..." Kisame stared at Danzo's eyes that were extremely eager to be recognized, and suddenly stopped. After about three or four seconds, he put his arm around Itachi's shoulders, turned around and muttered a few words in a low voice,
Then he smiled again, "You are Danzo, right?"
"..."
The smile on Danzo's face is as hard as stone. Is he so unknown?
"Danzo-sama, what a coincidence. I didn't expect to see you in a place like this." Itachi stared at Danzo coldly, "Are we colleagues?"
Before coming here, he had imagined what it would be like to meet Danzo.
Excited? Happy? Angry? Angry?
Various emotions were constantly emerging in his mind, but when Danzo appeared, the emotions imagined in his mind were not as good as Itachi's inner feelings at this moment.
Danzo's eyelids twitched.
Although Itachi had already left Konoha when his accident happened, "controlling the Hokage and snatching the Sharingan" was not a trivial matter. Itachi had countless opportunities to know about it in the past year.
"Can you say that for the time being?" Danzo said bravely.
Itachi's eyes moved on Danzo's right arm and right eye for a few seconds, and he nodded slightly: "I hope there will be opportunities to cooperate in the future. Lord Danzo, Orochimaru, what a coincidence, you are here too."
Danzo's matter can wait. After all, the Sharingan has been removed. Even if Danzo is killed, the dead cannot be resurrected.
Orochimaru is different.
Itachi joined "Akatsuki" just to find him.
After seeing Orochimaru, Itachi had to suppress his anger and stay calm all the time, which was too difficult.
No one can confirm that it was Orochimaru who took Sasuke away.
Although after analyzing all the clues, the most likely person is Orochimaru, speculation is just speculation, and Orochimaru can completely deny it.
Without evidence, it is estimated that "Akatsuki" would not allow him to take revenge on Orochimaru here.
Various scenarios flashed through Itachi's mind, and in the end he decided not to break up for the time being.
He needed a chance to be alone with Orochimaru, but not now.
"Yes, it seems that you are also a person with pursuits." Orochimaru said with a smile.
"Um?"
"Don't you know the goal of Akatsuki? To create a world without war. If you join, don't you agree with this goal?"
"This goal is really 'great'," Itachi didn't care about it at all, "but before that, I have other things to do."
"Tell me and listen?"
"Sasuke is missing. I want to find him first."
"Then... I wish all your wishes come true." Orochimaru narrowed his eyes, "When you find it, don't forget to tell me, and I will kill the person who kidnapped Sasuke with you."
Itachi clenched his fists, furious, trying to control his emotions.
He wanted to kill Orochimaru, but not here.
At this moment, the door was pushed open again, and everyone looked at the door in unison. Fei Liuhu entered the room first, followed closely behind him by a man wearing a black mask.
"Are there so many people here already? Hello everyone, my name is Yoshida Xin, and I am a newcomer. Are you seniors? Or are you newcomers like me?" Kuromian greeted the four people inside, but he was laughing in his heart.
He and Kisame are from Kirigakure Village, and Itachi, Danzo and Orochimaru are wary of each other. There are really too many elements in this gathering.
