In fact, the task of attacking the Mizukage was the result of Obito's communication with Nagato.
Because not long ago, Terumi Mei, who led people to sneak into Kirigakure Village and wanted to concentrate all his strength to attack Yagura, accidentally discovered that Yagura was being manipulated.
So he asked Ao to take action, using his Byakugan to remove the genjutsu on the Fourth Mizukage's body, and freed Obito's control over Yagura.
Then the truth came to light, and the whole story was learned from Yagura, and Yagura also knew what he had done during the period of being controlled.
This made Yagura so painful that he even thought about committing suicide to apologize.
But they were all stopped by the Kirigakure Council of Elders.
Previously, it was because they had no choice that they took the risk and wanted Terumi Mei to replace Yagura.
But now that the reason is known, Terumi Mei is naturally no longer the first choice.
After all, before setting off the tyranny, Yagura's Mizukage did an excellent job and was extremely convincing.
In addition, Yagura is still the Jinchūriki of the Three-Tails, which is an indispensable force for the turbulent Kirigakure at this time.
So many people are willing to believe Yagura again.
Even if Yagura doesn't want to be the Mizukage anymore because of guilt, he should at least wait until Terumi Mei grows up to make up for all the mistakes he made, instead of leaving a mess to future generations.
Terumi Mei also knew that even if she was in power now, she would not be able to control the power, and it would be even harder to convince the public, so she agreed.
In the end, Yagura had no choice but to agree to this condition. He would first sort out the mess he left behind and pave the way for the next Mizukage to ascend to the throne. Then he would step down as Mizukage and continue to atone for his sins as a jinchuriki.
Obito, on the other hand, had sensed it after Yagura broke free from his control, and then went to investigate and learned everything.
Obviously, Yagura, who has learned a lot from his mistakes, will definitely not give him another chance.
Then the only option is to get rid of it!
Put Kirigakure into chaos as much as possible to avoid adding variables to his plan in the future.
Even in order to prevent other ninja villages from noticing that someone was secretly hunting tailed beasts and to buy more time for the development of the Akatsuki organization, Obito resisted the temptation to start the great plan in advance.
Only kill people, no tailed beasts!
Anyway, it doesn't matter if the Jinchuuriki dies. It won't be long before the tailed beast will automatically resurrect somewhere, and sooner or later it will be his.
So accumulating strength is the most important thing at this moment.
Obviously, Obito, who did not tell the truth, still convinced Nagato, and then this secret meeting took place.
Among the members of Akatsuki, there were still a few who remained calm.
For example, Aoba, who was not very interested in killing the Mizukage, and Kisame, who had just betrayed Kirigakure some time ago and was the most aware of Yagura's terrifying strength among the people present.
You must know that when he killed the Watermelon Mountain Puffer Demon, and then Mizukage Yagura appeared in front of him, Kisame didn't think he had any possibility of escape.
In the original work, Loquat Juzo is not Yagura's enemy at all, and even Itachi is in danger.
This shows how strong this fourth generation Mizukage is!
In addition, he did not know the strength of other people, so Kisame was not very optimistic about this action, but thinking about it, he would definitely not take the initiative to speak out.
After Hidan calmed down, Pain looked around at everyone, and then said solemnly: "This mission must be a one-hit kill, and there is no room for failure. Kakuzu, Hidan, Deidara, Kisame and Yasuo
, this mission will be left to you."
It would be very unsafe to send only a group of people, and Hidan, Deidara and Kisame were all newcomers, so we could use this mission to observe their strength.
Moreover, Kisame is most familiar with Kirigakure's environment. After completing the mission, Deidara can also lead people to evacuate from the air.
Hidan and Kakuzu are the main force. With Hidan's ability, there is almost no one he can't kill, as long as he is given a chance.
As for Yasuo Nagato, on the one hand, he wanted to see how many hidden abilities this guy had, and on the other hand, he wanted to add a layer of insurance to this mission.
Although Hidan and Deidara were talents he was very optimistic about, they were still young and impulsive, so it would be difficult for Kakuzu to suppress them alone.
At this point, Yasuo, who has put a lot of pressure on Hidan and Deidara, is undoubtedly the most suitable candidate. He can not only control the situation, but also turn the tide at critical moments to avoid vacancies in the manpower that was finally gathered together.
.
It can be seen from this that Nagato attaches great importance to this task, and the arrangements are very reasonable, taking into account each person's specific abilities and even the division of labor and positioning.
As for Madara's suggestion that it would be better not to let Yasuo and Kisame perform the mission together, he ignored it gracefully.
It's not like he didn't know that Yasuo was collecting Kirigakure's seven ninja swords, and that the sword Samehada in Kisame's hand was Yasuo's target.
But as long as it doesn't affect the mission, he doesn't bother to care about such things.
A person who can't even hold his own weapon is not the candidate that the Akatsuki organization wants.
And those losers whose strength is greatly reduced without the weapons at their disposal will sooner or later die in the mission, just like Loquat Juzo in the past.
The last reason is that both Yasuo and Kisame were recommended by Madara. As the leader of Akatsuki, Nagato naturally does not want these two people to get together. He would rather fight to the death between them than see this scene.
!
Everyone had no objections to Payne's arrangement, even Qingyu who didn't want to take this troubled waters.
At least now he doesn't want to break up with Nagato, so he just goes on a trip.
Anyway, he felt that Yagura was dead this time, as long as nothing unexpected happened.
In addition, what he covets is different from others. If people like Scorpion, Orochimaru, and Kakuzu all want Yagura's body, then what he wants is Yagura's soul.
Don't forget, his [Frozen Throne] is very rare for the souls of shadow-level powerhouses.
He didn't even have a few jounin souls on his hands. Now that he had the opportunity to collect the Mizukage's soul, he didn't have to take much risk or put in much effort. There was definitely no reason to refuse!
The premise that I was not very interested before was based on my unwillingness to work hard. Now that the staff has been settled, I naturally no longer have this concern.
Since no one raised any objections, Nagato was very satisfied. After confirming the specific time and meeting place, the secret meeting ended.
Then Qingyu, who had released his missing body, also canceled the skin of [Crimson Swordsman] and began to prepare for this battle.
He had killed many Jonin, but this was his first time facing a shadow-level warrior!
So in order not to overturn, he had to make some preparations.
Fortunately, he didn't need to fight hard this time, otherwise he would have to find an excuse to refuse no matter what.
