"Uehara, what the hell is going on!"
Sasuke looked at everyone present and finally decided to focus on Uehara because he thought that Uehara should be the weakest of the three.
"Let me clarify it to you."
Uehara amicably extended his palm to Sasuke and cordially explained, "Uchiha Sasuke, on behalf of the Akatsuki Organization dedicated to maintaining peace in the Ninja world, I formally invite you to become one of us."
"You guys don't look like a good thing!"
Sasuke stared at Uehara with a sullen face and said, "I first thought that you were a good person... but now, you and Itachi are partners!"
"I have always been a good person."
The smile on Uehara's face was undiminished, "When you get along with me for a long time, you will know... Now tell me, are you willing to join? Although Akatsuki prohibits internal fighting, it doesn't prohibit brother's fight!"
"..."
Sasuke was silent for a while, then turned to look at Itachi, "What status is Itachi in your organization!"
"Itachi-san is Akatsuki's official member!"
Uehara chuckled and pointed at himself and then at Sasuke, "We are just interns in the organization. When we are strong enough, the leader will allow us to become official members."
This explanation was very easy to understand.
Sasuke instantly understood his status. But he couldn't help snorted at Uehara, "You were so arrogant during the Chunin Exam, and I thought you were a great guy, but I didn't expect you to be just an intern."
"..."
Uehara's smile on his face instantly froze.
Obviously, Sasuke's words hurt his sore spot.
Over the years, Uehara has applied to become an official member quite a few times, and every time he was rejected by Konan, he even asked Nagato for pity.
Whenever Uehara saw Akatsuki's uniform, he couldn't help but think of that rewarding side mission.
However, the side mission to become Akatsuki's official member was as difficult as the mission to win against Tsunade and let Naruto blacken, and it became Uehara's heartache.
Where was the problem!
Obviously, Uehara would practice almost every day and work very hard to make Konan see that his strength was getting stronger.
No matter what Konan asks him to do, he will do his best to accomplish it.
As a result, every time he mentioned becoming an official member to Konan, she would coax him to practice obediently in the village and learn to govern Amegakure with her.
It's just like coaxing a child.
The smile on Uehara's face reappeared. He turned his head to Itachi and asked softly, "Itachi-san, can I discipline your brother for you? So he won't offend another senpai in the organization."
"I don't care."
Itachi turned his head carelessly.
Crack!
There was a crisp sound of cracking bones!
Uehara violently twisted Sasuke's arm!
"Ahh~"
Sasuke couldn't help but cry miserably.
Sasuke's cry was so painful that Itachi turned around involuntarily and frowned as he looked at Sasuke's injury.
Uehara's palm was glowing in green, and while he was treating Sasuke's injury, he smiled and persuaded, "Although I am also an intern, you are an intern who joined after me. Remember to call me senior, understand?"
"..."
Sasuke just gritted his teeth and said nothing.
Just as Uehara wanted to continue beating him, a bandaged sword fell beside him, preventing his movement.
Kisame smiled softly and said, "We still have to give Itachi-san a bit of face. Although the two of them are enemies, they are still brothers..."
"..."
Itachi suddenly shows a hint of gratitude in his eyes while looking at Kisame.
Uehara looked at Kisame's eyes dangerously. What's the matter with this spy?
Sasuke didn't appreciate it at all and even said coldly, "Since he killed his parents and all of his clansmen, he stopped being my brother and became an enemy I wish to kill!"
"Itachi-san, look..."
Kisame suddenly showed a helpless look.
Itachi shook his head and said in a low voice, "Ignore him. Sasuke was vulnerable since he was a child and only used his mouth to be arrogant, as I said..."
Itachi's words suddenly stopped because he felt that if he said that Sasuke was not suitable to become Akatsuki's member, it was estimated that Kisame and Uehara would say something like, "Sasuke was not suitable? Then kill him."
This was really sad.
Itachi didn't know what to say.
Itachi straightened up his collar little by little and said softly, "Forget it, let's hurry up and return to the organization's base so as not to reencounter Konoha's pursuit!"
Itachi was quite happy.
After Sasuke joined the Akatsuki organization, he was able to see Sasuke often and personally protect Sasuke's safety. It didn't seem to be particularly bad.
The only problem was Sasuke's hateful gaze.
But it will not be that long. When Sasuke and Naruto fought just now, Sasuke Sharingan had evolved from two tomoe to three tomoe Sharingan.
Itachi began to calculate in his heart what opportunity he should pick for Sasuke to open Mangekyou Sharingan, then he could die peacefully.
Even Itachi didn't mind using his death to let Sasuke get rid of the knot.
It's just that before his death, Sasuke's life must be arranged. If Sasuke was still in the organization at that time, he would be bullied.
Unfortunately, this was only Itachi's wishful thinking.
When passing by a dessert shop, Kisame suggested having lunch in this shop. Sasuke immediately expressed dissatisfaction, "I hate sweets."
"But Itachi-san likes sweets very much."
Kisame's mouth smiled and looked at Sasuke. He seemed to be helping Itachi, so he especially liked to bully Sasuke.
Itachi looked helplessly beside him and could only turn his head to look at the other person, "What do you want for lunch, Uehara?"
Uehara casually glanced at Kisame, "My taste is a bit strange recently. I want to eat shark fin."
"..."
Hearing Uehara's words, the expression on Kisame's face suddenly became unsightly.
After this group of people ate and drank enough.
Sasuke saw an opportunity when Itachi drank water. Lightning flashed in his palm, and he rushed in Itachi's direction, "Chidori!"
Bang!
Itachi kicked Sasuke to the ground!
After Itachi stomped Sasuke's wrist tightly again, he slowly said, "Uehara, is it alright to injure him a little bit? I don't want to drain Sasuke's remaining utilization value and let him become complete trash."
"Rest assured."
Uehara chuckled and waved his hand to heal Sasuke's wound, "As long as you don't screw off Sasuke's head, I can heal him."
On their way back to the Country of Rain, before they even left the border of the Country of Fire, Sasuke sneaked and assassinated Itachi at a frequency of more than three times a day, each time he was easily defeated.
Along the way, Sasuke did not succeed even once in his assassination, only resulting in Kisame's alienation and Itachi's anxiety.
Itachi felt that Sasuke didn't know how to be a real ninja.
Kisame thinks that Sasuke was really an idiot.
When Kisame disliked Sasuke, another ninja in the ninja world who liked to adopt orphans was furious.
Otogakure.
Having sacrificed the four Otonin and not heard anything about Sasuke, Orochimaru's temper was a lot more irritable, "What is going on? My body is on the verge of its limit. Kidomaru and others have not yet brought Sasuke back!"
"Perhaps our plan has some deviations."
Kabuto pushed his glasses and reluctantly persuaded, "Orochimaru-sama, why not use Living Corpse Reincarnation first! And Uchiha Sasuke may not be the best choice for Orochimaru-sama..."
"But he is the most suitable right now!"
Orochimaru slammed his fist on the experiment table. Due to using excessive force, he could only tremble and lay down on the chair beside him, "Go and help me prepare for the reincarnation! A new body will still work, and it can last for three years. In these three years, I will successfully study White Zetsu body..."
After speaking, Orochimaru slowly turned his head, and a pair of snake pupils was mixed with a trace of gratitude, "Kabuto, thank you for bringing back White Zetsu's corpse and let me find a new kind of body."
When Kabuto turned around and was about to leave, he suddenly stopped, and his face looked more respectful, "No, I should be the one to thank Orochimaru-sama. Because of your presence, I saw the most suitable path for me."
"Ho ho ho..."
Orochimaru slowly smiled and said in a low voice, "Yes, I also have found a new path, as long as we can catch enough White Zetsu, Impure World Reincarnation and Living Corpse Reincarnation... Can be further improved!"
Orochimaru slowly turned his head and looked at a coffin with the "first" characters engraved beside him, and a trace of obsession flashed in his eyes, "As long as I can get a White Zetsu, I will soon have the power of the First Hokage!"
Since Orochimaru began to study White Zetsu's body, he quickly discovered the wonderful structure of this creature. This creature was not like a ninja, and their bodies seemed to be compatible with any Chakra.
This was very magical.
As long as it can be compatible with Chakra, it can accommodate any bloodline limit. For Orochimaru, the blood inheritance he hopes can be integrated into White Zetsu's body.
As long as he gets a living White Zetsu, and as long as that White Zetsu can hold Mokuton's bloodline limit. Orochimaru believes that he can rely on Mokuton's power to gain a foothold in the Ninja World!
Most importantly, White Zetsu's body structure was very unique.
Orochimaru discovered that White Zetsu might serve as a sacrificial vessel for the Impure World Reincarnation and perhaps enable the dead to exert a much more powerful force. The only problem was that the powerful Impure World Reincarnation was not easy to control.
And where should I look for White Zetsu?
Orochimaru tapped his finger lightly, his cold pupils tightened slightly, and he slowly muttered, "I remember that guy has always been Akatsuki's intelligence officer. These White Zetsu should be its clones, but Zetsu's whereabouts are always uncertain. It seems that I need to find a way to get his information from any Akatsuki member..."
