Regardless of whether Payne intentionally concealed Obito's identity before, in this battle, Obito did appear as "Uchiha Madara".
After comprehensive consideration, Yusuke believed that Obito would come to the forefront.
But things went counterproductive.
After Payne greeted the others, he also sat down.
Xiaonan took the lead in conveying what had just been discussed to Payne.
Yusuke held his cheek and stared at Payne.
In fact, since Obito took control of the Mizukage, Kirigakure and Amegakure have the possibility of becoming "partners".
Although the strength of Kirigakure Village has been greatly reduced due to the influence of the "Hometown of Blood Mist", it is still one of the five major ninja villages. It is backed by the Kingdom of Water, and its overall strength is still stronger than Ume Hidden Village.
If Obito and Akatsuki had plans in this regard and formed a "cooperative" relationship with each other, allowing Kirigakure Village to invest part of its resources in Amegakure Village, "Akatsuki" would not make money by performing bounty missions or monopolizing wars among small countries.
.
What's more, as the cooperation between the two ninja villages deepens, perhaps the two ninja villages will be very close in the future.
But this didn't happen.
This means that either no one thought of this, or someone is standing in the way.
Since Nohara Rin's death was caused by Kirigakure Village, Obito wished that Kirigakure Village was completely destroyed.
If "Akatsuki" and Yuyin Village really create some "sparks" and form a real cooperation, wouldn't Obito just "steal the chicken but lose the rice"?
Or, Obito's real purpose is to "collect tailed beasts" and use the tailed beasts to use "Infinite Tsukuyomi". But if Akatsuki really starts "cooperating" with Kirigakure Village, then what will happen to Pain and Aegakure Village?
The problems faced will change, and even "peace" in a certain sense will be achieved - after the water shadow is controlled, this kind of "cooperation" between the two parties will completely reduce the possibility of war.
The reason why this possibility did not happen is that the person who controls the Mizukage is not Nagato, but Obito.
He used Nagato and "Akatsuki" to collect "tailed beasts", not for Nagato's dream.
Of course, Takeshi Igawa, as the "actual controller" of Kirigakure Village, may not be willing to give money to Amegakure Village.
Everyone is greedy.
He risked his life and cooperated with "Xiao", wasn't it just for "money" and "power"?
Sure enough, Payne also felt hesitant after hearing what Xiaonan said.
"Does it have to be so much money?" Payne asked.
Kakuzu looks at Konan first.
The gap of 400 million taels was given to him by Xiaonan.
"Yes." Xiaonan said seriously.
"I understand. I remember that the bounties for other people in Kirigakure Village are not low, right? Target the others first, and we will discuss the matter of Kirigakure Village later." Payne said to Xiaonan.
Xiaonan nodded.
Pain needs to ask Obito for his opinion. After all, the person who really controls the Mizukage is Obito, not them.
"Is the next thing determined?" Xiaonan asked.
Payne nodded and then stood up: "Since the beginning of Xiao's establishment, I have been working hard towards my dream, and I have witnessed with my own eyes how Xiao has grown from a small organization to the scale it is today - although
There are not many people, but we already have a good reputation in a small country. However, this is not our ultimate goal. What follows is very confidential. If you feel you don’t want to stay here anymore, you can withdraw. I won’t say a word more.
talk."
Yusuke whistled and looked at the expressions of the others.
Maybe Payne won't say a word, but it's hard to say whether those who quit will be able to walk out of here alive.
Sure enough, no one expressed their opinion.
"If no one quits, then there will be no chance to quit in the future. Once someone betrays me, I will hunt him to the ends of the earth." Payne said.
"What is it that makes you so cautious?" Itachi asked puzzled.
Payne glanced at Weasel.
The personalities of each member of "Akatsuki" are unpredictable, but if there is anyone who worries Pain the most, it is Itachi.
The reason is that Itachi's identity is relatively sensitive - the ninja of Konoha Village.
And Nagato has no good impression of Konoha at all.
The murderers who killed his parents were Konoha ninjas, and the battle that killed Yahiko also had Konoha figures.
Yesterday, among the invaders of Amegakure Village, three of them were ninjas born in Konoha.
Under the influence of many factors, it was difficult for Payne to completely trust Itachi.
But Obito believed that Itachi was indispensable and his loyalty was absolutely no problem.
"'Akatsuki' wants to change the structure of the entire ninja world." Pain said.
"What do you mean?" Itachi was confused.
"The five major ninja villages have 'ruled' the entire ninja world for decades, and during these decades, wars have continued. The small ninja villages have no power to refuse the war and can only be passively involved. Even the big ninjas
The village was also scarred in the battle with other ninja villages. You have all participated in such large-scale battles, so you should understand what I want to express."
"So?" Hidan raised his hands, "What can we do?"
"Become stronger! We can compete with the five major ninja villages." Payne said.
"However, the strength of the five major ninja villages cannot be shaken. Even the current Kirigakure Village is stronger than Akatsuki and Kumogakure Village. What's more, the five major ninja villages still have tailed beasts." Kisame said.
"I know. Of course we can't do it alone, but we can rely on the power of the tailed beasts," Pain said.
"But there are only nine tailed beasts...is there a tenth tailed beast?" Kisame asked in surprise.
"There is indeed a tenth tailed beast." Pain nodded.
After he said "Ten-Tails", the people present had different expressions. Yusuke took this time to carefully observe the expressions of these people.
Kakuzu and Scorpion were among those who joined Akatsuki relatively early and knew the purpose of Akatsuki, but Hidan and Itachi were new members and probably didn't know about the Ten-Tails yet.
As for Kisame, I guess he knows something about it, but it’s hard to say how much he knows specifically.
"Where is the Ten-Tails?" Hidan was very interested.
"Actually, I don't want to put the 'Ten Tails' directly on the table for consideration, because this is our third phase of the plan. At this stage, our strength is not yet able to support this plan and cannot compete with the Great Ninja Village. However,
Jiraiya's escape has changed a lot. It is very likely that the eyes of the Great Ninja Village will be directed towards us. Therefore, I decided to advance the third phase of the plan.
"Their target may be Akatsuki or Yuyin Village. But without conclusive evidence, they cannot attack Yuyin Village rashly. Therefore, we still have some time. During this period, we can still proceed
The second phase of the mission is to monopolize the small country's war market. The ninjas of Yuyin Village have already gone out to find missions, so please be patient."
"Tsk, tell me, if Konoha Village tells other ninja villages about Akatsuki, is it equivalent to promoting Akatsuki? The 'ninja organization' that can be targeted by Konoha Village should be very powerful, right?
