Xili is a determined person, and once he decides something, he will never change it easily.
But he still decided to listen and see how Uchiha Itachi changed his mind.
"The Country of Wind is a desert and does not produce food. All kinds of materials need to be imported, but they are rich in things that the whole world needs."
Uchiha Itachi stated the facts in a calm tone.
There are no unnecessary seductive words, just this sentence is enough to attract people.
"ore?"
Xi Li's eyes lit up, he was worried about having no place to get weapons!
"Isn't your mace broken? There is an iron mine not far from the border of the Kingdom of Wind, and the Sand Ninja's camp is not far from the iron mine."
Itachi Uchiha noticed Xili's eyes, and a hint of helplessness flashed in his eyes.
A guy who can’t afford to be early without any benefit!
Seeli hesitated. On the one hand, he didn't want to go to the desert waves. On the other hand, he wanted to get the best iron ore to forge a heavier and stronger mace.
then
"Originally I refused, because you are so sincere."
"This is a mission, so I'll take care of you!"
…
A certain forest in the Kingdom of Sichuan is the assembly point for the Eagle Mission.
The Flying Eagle mission is a special mission assigned by Danzo to target the Sand Ninja troops on the border of the Land of Wind, focusing on reconnaissance and attacks.
Reconnaissance and raiding are two different tasks.
The reason why they are put together is because of the open proposition given by Danzo.
Investigate first and take action when the opportunity arises.
A subsequent squadron will be responsible for the response, and Danzo has also arranged for the remaining nearly one brigade to be ready to fight at any time.
Just pure reconnaissance, or looking for opportunities for sneak attacks.
Only God knows.
The original mission of Kakashi's team was to conduct reconnaissance, but now their mission is to go to the Suna ninja's mines to cause damage and attract Rasa's attention.
In the forest, everyone in Kakashi's team except Seeli has arrived.
"Itachi, you are not like this"
Are you making trouble??
Kakashi really wanted to complain, what on earth did you do? Why did you come back with a pig-headed face after being gone for just half a day?
But even through the mask, he could see Uchiha Itachi's cheeks that were still swollen.
The words that came to my lips were never spoken.
"Sorry, Captain Kakashi."
Even with his back to Kakashi, Uchiha Itachi could feel the burning gaze, and he could only say sorry for it.
Based on his understanding of Xili, the things decided by that guy are not easy to change.
Whether it is a reconnaissance mission or a sabotage mission, someone needs to perform it.
Anyway, I just changed the tasks.
"How are your injuries?"
Kakashi felt a headache when he thought of Seeli, and suddenly he realized that it might be better to throw Seeli into the mine to cause damage than to conduct investigation.
After all, that lunatic is too reckless to hold back ten cows.
Should we go to the Sand Ninja Day Camp or the Sand Ninja Mine?
Normal people’s brains know how to choose!
"It's okay. Tsunade-sama has already treated it, and the swelling will be completely subsided in about two days."
Uchiha Itachi shook his head and said it was okay, but his face was still a little sore.
That bastard was so harsh!
Kakashi nodded and stopped talking. There were still about three minutes left before the agreed time. Based on his understanding of Seeli, that boy would never be late.
But don't expect that guy to come early.
After another two minutes, a black shadow passed quickly in the direction of the stone valley, from far to near, and arrived at the agreed upon location in the blink of an eye.
The person who came was clearly Xili.
"Why are you looking at me? I'm not late, am I?"
"No, let's go!"
After Kakashi finished speaking, the four-person team was assembled and quickly dispatched.
The attack on the mine to attract Luo Sha's attention was carried out before the reconnaissance team, so they were one step ahead of all teams.
…
Going back in time a little, in the Land of Rain, a hazy curtain of rain enveloped the entire country.
Among the most mysterious towers.
Jue, who was half black and half white and wearing a pitcher plant, emerged from the ground strangely, and Bai Jue let out a weird laugh.
His eyes swept over everyone present, and he grinned.
"There is good news and bad news, which one do you want to hear first?"
"Don't wait around, I don't like waiting for people, and I hate people being nagging!"
In the dark shadows, a strange man with a huge body but a hunched back walked out. His hoarse and deep voice made people feel a bit harsh.
Red Sand Scorpion, a member of the Akatsuki organization, codenamed Jade.
Scorpio is a very careful person.
He hides himself in Fei Liuhu. He is very individualistic and impatient. He doesn't like to wait or make others wait.
He was studying puppets just now, and he was very unhappy when he was suddenly summoned!
Of course, this is not the real reason.
Instead, he had a strange feeling in his heart these past few days, an ominous premonition, and a sense of loneliness from the inside out, as if something important had gone missing.
"Let's talk about the bad news first!"
The person who spoke was Payne Tiandao, the leader of the Akatsuki organization, and the depressing atmosphere in the scene seemed even more depressing when he opened his mouth.
Bai Jue stopped pretending and said bluntly, "Chiyo, the consultant of Sunagakure Village, is dead."
How can it be considered bad news if the consultant of Sunagakure Village is dead?
Although everyone thought so, no one said it out loud.
Because Chiyo is not only the consultant of Sunagakure Village, she is also the grandmother of Red Sand Scorpion. Just because of the relationship with Scorpion, Chiyo's death can only be bad news for Akatsuki!
"Where's the good news?"
Payne didn't want to dwell on this issue, so he asked.
"There was a small-scale friction between Konoha and Suna Ninja at the border of the Land of Wind, and there is likely to be a bigger move later."
As a mercenary, Akatsuki, who mainly focused on raising funds in the early stage, naturally hopes that the major ninja villages will start a war!
And secretly, Black Zetsu hopes that the ninja world will consume each other, so that his plan will go more smoothly.
If the Suna Ninja goes to war with Konoha, it will definitely be good news.
"Should we send someone to contact the Suna Ninja?"
Xiao Nan asked aloud.
The reason why they chose the Suna Ninja instead of Konoha was because they believed that the Suna Ninja would definitely be defeated, and only defeated countries needed mercenaries.
Sunagakure Village and Konoha Village are both members of the Five Great Nations.
But there is no doubt about it.
Sunagakure Village is still far behind Konoha Village, especially after the Third Ninja War, the daimyo of the Land of Wind did not support Sunagakure Village and decided to reduce the number of ninjas and reduce military expenditures.
Sand Hidden Village is almost at the bottom of the five major countries.
“Another large amount of funds has been credited to the account, which is really exciting!”
Kakuzu said angrily, his tone still so cold and low.
But everyone present knew that he was very happy now. After all, the victory of a war through hired combatants was much faster than the small-time work of a bounty hunter.
Those who like money are naturally happy.
Payne thought for a moment and then decided on the combination he would send out.
Akatsuki is currently seriously short of personnel, so most of the teams that go out on missions are temporarily arranged.
Kakuzu and Orochimaru teamed up before, but now
"Kakuzu, Scorpion, you two go to the Kingdom of Wind. No matter whether the matter is successful or not, you must not expose the organization's information."
The money-loving Kakuzu are very keen on war employment.
And Scorpion is the person who knows Sand Hidden Village in the Country of Wind best.
There is no doubt about the strength of the two, and they can definitely determine the outcome of a war.
According to the information sent back by Bai Zetsu, Danzo is leading the team in Konoha this time, and the total combat strength is only one battalion, which is a thousand people.
Payne believes that Kakuzu and Scorpion can solve the problem perfectly.
Kakuzu and Scorpion are both strong men, and strong men are rebellious people.
"knew."
The two of them responded lightly, turned around and left the mysterious tower.
