In the end, Tsunade still did not send Xili to follow Terumi Mei and his party. The reason why she mentioned Xili's name was just to shock the Kirigakure Village.
It is impossible to send Xili out under the current circumstances.
If you don't send ninjas of the same level of combat power to follow, then there is no difference in sending jounin and chuunin to follow.
Tsunade randomly assigned two chuunin to follow and dismissed Terumi Mei and his party.
Konoha will enter the restoration and construction phase next, and she is still very busy.
Terumi Mei and others left, but everyone in Konoha in the conference room did not disperse.
"Shikaku, do you think the Mizukage is really just hunting down the traitorous ninjas in Kirigakure Village?" Tsunade asked Shikaku first.
In terms of brains, no one present is Shikaku's opponent.
"Chasing Kisame Kisaki is only one of the purposes. As for the other purposes of Mizukage, it is not clear yet."
"But it shouldn't be for Konoha."
Nara Shikaku pondered for a moment and replied.
"Oh? Why do you say that?"
Sandai asked.
"If we were targeting Konoha, it would be impossible for Kirigakure Village to have only eleven people." Nara Shikaku paused and continued to add.
"And according to the information sent back by the Anbu, Mizukage did have a battle with Uchiha Itachi."
"If it wasn't for Xili, they should have left."
"In that case, then leave them alone and focus on rebuilding the village for now." Tsunade made the final decision and ended the meeting.
…
In the groggy sewer, the air seemed to be soaked with water vapor, becoming sticky and wet.
Tap tap tap!!
Suddenly, a burst of rapid footsteps sounded.
A beautiful woman with rice-long hair that was braided to her waist and a proud, queen-like look rushed into the deepest pool of the drainage channel.
Then two men in red-colored black trench coats followed closely.
"Damn stinky rat, he really knows how to run away!"
"Running away is disrespectful to Lord Evil God, you know? Just sacrifice to Lord Evil God! Hahaha!!"
The man holding the bloody March Scythe and with his head raised suddenly jumped out of the darkness.
Immediately afterwards, a man wearing a black mask also appeared.
These two people are clearly the immortal duo of the Akatsuki organization, codenamed Three, North.
"Let's do it."
Kakuzu said expressionlessly that for him, killing was just a normal thing like eating and sleeping, and it would not cause the slightest emotional fluctuation.
Hidan was holding an evil cult necklace with an inverted triangle pattern in the center of the ring.
"Wait a moment, you must pray to God before using that move."
As he spoke, Hidan closed his eyes, placed the Evil God Sect necklace in front of his eyes, and began to pray quietly.
Kakuzu looked sideways at Hidan and said in a somewhat impatient tone, "You are always so troublesome. If you were teaming up with Scorpion, you would have been killed long ago."
"Huh? That poisonous scorpion who only plays with corpses?"
Hidan glared back at Kakuzu in displeasure, "You still don't know my strength, right? How could I lose to a guy like that?!"
Kakuzu looked away calmly, not bothering to argue with Hidan.
Apart from Zetsu, who is not a combat type, the weakest member of the Akatsuki organization is probably Hidan. If it weren't for Hidan's weird abilities, it would have been impossible for him to become an official member.
From Kakuzu's point of view, Hidan was just someone to be beaten by Scorpion.
Hidan was praying to himself, while Kakuzu stayed aside quietly. Although Hidan was troublesome, he was indeed a very useful 'teammate'.
"Huh, hehe."
In the empty and gloomy sewer, a sneer suddenly sounded.
Yumu Ren looked arrogant and sarcastic, "Do you think you have a chance to win? Do you think you have pushed me into a desperate situation?"
"That's not the case!"
"In fact, I was the one who brought you here!"
Snapped!
After the words fell, Yumuren clapped his hands together and activated the technique.
Sizzling...
The detonating symbols posted at the entrances and exits of several passages around the sewers immediately burned, and a pungent smell filled the air.
Next!
Rumble!!!
There was a violent explosion, all the passages were blown up, and three people were trapped and died deep in the sewer!
Yukito grinned with a sneer, she was very confident in her own power.
She is the Two-Tailed Jinchuuriki, and she represents the power of destruction!
"Since I know you are Akatsuki's people, I can't let you escape." Yuki narrowed his eyes dangerously and bowed slightly.
One moment it was a frightened little kitten that was running away like crazy, but now it was like a tiger coming out of its cage.
The aura from Yumu Ren exploded suddenly, and ordinary people would have been paralyzed by this terrifying aura.
However, this scene did not scare Kakuzu and Hidan.
Hidan even complained helplessly, "Ah, the way out is blocked, Kakuzu."
"That's good. This way the two-tailed Jinchuuriki won't be able to escape."
Kakuzu doesn't care at all that his way out is blocked. He has five hearts and is proficient in five chakra attributes, and Earth Release is just one of them.
It's too easy to get out with the power of earth escape.
Hidan scratched the back of his head, since he wouldn't be digging the soil later.
"It's such a boring mission. The main purpose of the Evil God Cult is killing. A mission like this that requires people to be captured alive doesn't arouse any motivation at all."
"How about we kill her?!"
Hidan licked his tongue and showed a bloodthirsty expression.
"Don't forget our mission, Hidan."
Kakuzu reminded.
"Isn't it? You are also unhappy, right? Kakuzu!" Hidan laughed evilly, "You are the most excited when killing people!"
Kakuzu looked at Hidan expressionlessly.
"Don't think of me as you."
"Should you consider joining the Evil God Cult again? The Evil God Cult needs murderers like you to spread their doctrine." Hidan continued to think casually.
"I'm so annoyed. Don't mention your evil cult all the time."
"Hurry up and get rid of her, I still want to earn the bounty!"
"Only money is the truth in this world!"
Kakuzu scolded coldly.
"Are we still going to fight? It's really annoying that we can't kill him!" Hidan raised the bloody March Scythe in his hand and pointed it at Yukito from a distance.
"Let's discuss something, woman!"
"Um?"
Yuki Ren secretly condensed chakra. She always felt that there was something wrong with these two guys' minds and they probably couldn't say anything good!
"Can you just take it easy?"
Hidan asked seriously.
Yukito's face suddenly darkened. She felt that if the other person was not an idiot, he was simply teasing her.
"Do not make jokes!"
Wow!
Yumu Ren, who was hunched over, slammed his hands on the water, and his tied hair was broken by a violent chakra.
Her long beige hair danced in the wind like a lion's mane.
