âLetâs talk about Akatsuki now.â
As the matter of Akatsuki came up, Shinichiâs expression became serious, as he said, âI think you should have been able to guess the reason why I was unable to contact you the entire time⊠I was under the suspicion that they were using White Zetsu to keep a watch on me at all times.â
Kuroto nodded, âYes.â
The fact that Shinichi had always maintained a perfunctory attitude towards the organization obviously aroused othersâ suspicion, even if Juzo tried to cover up Shinichiâs act, it was noticed by others.
Additionally, during the Konoha Collapse Plan, Obito instructed Shinichi to destroy the Uchiha Clan, in Shisuiâs absence this shouldnât have been too difficult for Shinichi considering his Mangekyou Sharingan ability, however, Shinichi not only did not destroy the Uchiha Clan but led them outside Konoha such that they didnât suffer any damage when Tendo flattened the village with a massive Shinra Tensei.
Even before that war, Shinichi was under constant surveillance, however, after that, his movement was also restricted.
Because of these reasons, Shinichi chose to go after the puppet.
Because of being under constant surveillance, he couldnât pass any intelligence about Akatsuki to Kuroto, and he knew very well that it was only a matter of time before his identity as a spy will be exposed.
Rather than being caught passively, it was better to take the initiative and solve a hidden danger that may cause problems for Kuroto, and escape the clutches of Akatsuki.
And thatâs what he did.
Shinichi shrugged, âThatâs why⊠I donât know much about whatâs going on in the Akatsuki. Although I did hear that the organization is trying to recruit new members to regather the strength⊠they have lost with the defeat of Hiruko and Tobi.â
âNew members, to fill in for the two of them?â muttered Kuroto, and asked, âDo you know whom they are targeting?â
Shinichi shook his head, âNo, I have no idea.â Then said with a thoughtful expression, âBut⊠upon thinking⊠if they are trying to fill in for Hiruko and Tobi, the people they are looking for must be pretty strong⊠I donât know if such people even exist anymore.â
âHmm.â Nodded Kuroto, then asked, âIs there any other information?â
Shinichi thought about it for a while, and said, âIt seems that they are trying to gather intelligence on the remaining Jinchuriki. Prime targets are Yondaime Mizukage, Jinchuriki of Rokubi, Jinchuriki of Nanabi, and Jinchuriki of Hachibi.â
Kuroto nodded lightly, âI see.â
Among the nine-tailed beasts. Nibi, Yonbi, and have already fallen into the hands of Akatsuki. The ones remaining are Ichibi, Sanbi, Rokubi, Nanabi, Hachibi, and Kyubi. Of the remaining six, they are specifically targeting four at the moment.
This also means that the Akatsuki doesnât have any plans to target Ichibi and Kyubi right now.
Akatsuki doesnât need to collect intelligence on the Jinchuriki of Kyuubi. Itâs already pretty clear that the Jinchuriki of Kyuubi is Uzumaki Naruto.
As for the Jinchuriki of Ichibi. Well, the entire Shinobi World believes that the Jinchuriki of Ichibi was executed by Yondaime Kazekage, so Ichibi is supposed to be dead.
So, itâs natural that they canât go after Ichibi and the safety of Ichibi is guaranteed.
However, the safety of other Jinchuriki is difficult to guarantee.
Of the remaining Jinchuriki, the Jinchuriki of Sanbi and the Jinchuriki of Hachibi are currently in Konoha to attend the Five Kage Conference, however, this conference has also been going on for a very long time, and the Kages are supposed to return to their respective villages sooner or alter.
Once they return to their respective villages, no doubt, they will be targeted by the Akatsuki Organization. And if targeted by the Akatsuki, there is no way they can defend themselves, the difference in power is too much, so the chance of escape is very slim.
âIs there something that I can do?â thought Kuroto.
While Kuroto was thinking, Shinichi suddenly thought of something, and said, âBy the way, I noticed something⊠and I think it is pretty suspicious.â
âWhat?â asked Kuroto, putting his thoughts at the back of his mind.
Shinichi replied, âYou should know about Painâs Six Paths⊠Five of the Six Path were destroyed by Shimura Danzo when we were pursuing him. Normally, Nagato tries to find other bodies that he can use as Pain, but for some reason, this time, he didnât try to find a body, and only Tendo Pain has been active.â
âThis is indeed a bit strange.â Muttered Kuroto, as he tried to figure out Nagatoâs line of thought. đđżđČewđbđ§ođđđč.com
âI am done yet.â Said Shinichi and continued, âOriginally, keeping a watch over the Jinchuriki of Nibi was done me, however, not long ago, Sasori took away the Jinchuriki of Nibi, and I havenât seen her since then.â
Kuroto was surprised, âWhat do you think could be the reason?â
Shinichi explained, âI donât know⊠maybe they moved her to another base that I didnât know of⊠just to make sure that I donât do anything.
But I still find this strange. The Jinchuriki of Nibi is a perfect Jinchuriki so controlling her is not an easy task, and apart from me, only Nagato and the masked man have methods of controlling the Jinchuriki. But as far as I know, both of them have been active⊠and I donât think anyone is keeping watch over her⊠which has puzzled me.
And itâs not just the Jinchuriki of Nibi, there is also the Jinchuriki of Yonbi, and the Jinchuriki of Gobi that was captured recently.
Unless they have some new member in the organization that has been keeping a watch over the three of them, I donât know whatâs going on.â
âI see.â Muttered Kuroto with a thoughtful expression, and added, âIt seems that they havenât been idle this entire time.â
Kuroto didnât have an answer.
However, one thing is certain, during that time he has been busy dealing with Shimura Danzo, developing the Earth Chakra Nature Clone, training the Eight Inner Gates, improving the Yin-seal, creating a pair of Rinnegan, and working on the Project Godhood, Nagato and Obito are also doing their own things.
Under tremendous pressure from the leader of Amatsukami, they are doing everything they can to accumulate strength.
Nagato and Obito should be very clear that if they canât deal with Yama and the Amatsukami Organization being him, their plans will never be completed!
