At the border of the country of fire, near a secret stronghold of the Akatsuki organization.
Su Xiao stood in front of a rock wall and printed the 'Air Ring' on his hand into the groove of the rock wall.
Rumble.
The rock wall rose, and a passage leading to the inside of the mountain appeared. Walking into the passage, the rock wall behind slowly fell, and the passage became dim.
There was a faint sound of conversation coming from the secret stronghold. Su Xiao walked to the source of the sound.
"Liar... It must be a lie. These are lies, skunk, to protect me? Nonsense, I was almost killed by him several times."
The roar of pillars came from the stronghold. It should be the truth of Itachi with Obito and Sasuke.
"If Itachi were serious, you would have died long ago."
Obito's voice was heard, and his tone was calm.
"Impossible. he didn't hesitate to use his Mangekyo Sharingan to kill me. His purpose is my eyes, not to protect me. I will kill you if you dare to talk nonsense like this again."
Uchiha Sasuke's voice was somewhat weak, his words did not believe that Itachi would protect him, but from the trembling tone, he was shaking.
"Itachi has already calculated everything that happened during the battle, wrapping your ability, your chakra. How will you deal with him when he attacks you? His goal is to force you into the Zetsu realm, and the purpose of this is... you have already guessed it."
Hearing Obito's words, Sasuke's mouth was slightly open, and he recalled the scene of Orochimaru being sealed in his mind. At that time, the sense of relaxation in his body could not be faked.
Obito continued to tell the truth to Sasuke, and Sasuke's voice became smaller and smaller.
Su Xiao pushed open the door and entered the room. Obito, wearing a mask, looked at Su Xiao with his head sideways while Sasuke lowered his head. His eyes were dull as if he doubted life.
"The smell of blood, there are enemies nearby?"
"No, I went to the vicinity of Konoha before."
Su Xiao did not continue. Obito nodded.
Sasuke looked up at Su Xiao, his dim pupils were full of confusion, and there was no longer the strong hatred he used to have.
"Byakuya, you came just in time, Sasuke. This partner captured tailed beasts together when he was alive."
Sasuke's pupils recovered some color.
"You..."
Sasuke's words reached his mouth, but he did not know what to say.
Su Xiao waved his hand: "I don't know much about Itachi."
He lit a cigarette, and the smell of the cigarette gradually filled the cave.
"Hey, I only have one question."
Sasuke clenched his fists.
"Itachi and I... Who is stronger?"
As soon as Sasuke asked this question, Su Xiao and Obito looked at each other and thought simultaneously, which was where this kid got his confidence.
"Forgive me for being blunt. This is the most stupid question I have heard recently."
Su Xiao spat out a mouthful of green smoke, and his momentum gradually changed. There seemed to be blood and qi pervading the dragon flash on his waist. This kind of aura that made living beings retreat made Sasuke nervous.
"Between you and Itachi, who is stronger? Do you have the confidence to kill me?"
Sasuke hesitated momentarily and remembered the first time he met Su Xiao. At that time, the sword's tip was against his throat and would take his life anytime.
"Maybe... not."
"Oh? In other words, you think I am stronger than Itachi?"
Sasuke nodded. After the previous battle, in his senses, Itachi was not too strong.
"With the level of your three Sharingan and lightning Ninjutsu, I can kill you in 20 minutes. As for Itachi... I don't want to fight with him. There is an 80 chance that I will die."
Sasuke shook his head, seemingly not believing it.
"Let's not talk about other things. Just the level of illusion, I have seen Itachi use illusion to control Jinchuriki. As for your level of illusion, hehe ---"
Considering that Sasuke was not clear about Jinchuriki's fighting style, Obito opened his mouth.
"Jinchuriki is immune to most illusions. You can imagine it like this. Jinchuriki has a Biju seal in his body, so two kinds of Chakra exist in the same body as the two consciousnesses. Biju can release Chakra to disturb Jinchuriki's Chakra structure, and the illusion can break by itself."
In this way, Sasuke understood the difficulty of using illusion to control Jinchuriki, which was almost impossible.
Itachi... can you use illusion to control that kind of guy? The two kinds of chakra interfere with each other,
How could an illusion be effective?
Under Obito 'dupe' 'Uchiha Sasuke was even more suspicious of life. Su Xiao and Bobowang sat on the side and watched Obito.
"You fought Orochimaru before. When Orochimaru faced Itachi, he was defeated in one move. After that, Orochimaru betrayed the Akatsuki organization and began to be obsessed with the power of Sharingan. This was all Itachi's plan, and let Orochimaru wholeheartedly train you."
Obito gave Uchiha Sasuke 'a deadly blow'.
Uchiha Sasuke no longer spoke, and a special Chakra gushed out from his brain.
"This is..."
Obito's Sharingan rotated and finally turned into a kaleidoscope form.
Sasuke suddenly raised his head, the pair of three Sharingan rotated, finally forming the shape of a six-pointed star and the Mangekyo Sharingan of Sasuke appeared.
"Open the kaleidoscope. Is it the first time to see it?"
Su Xiao looked at Sasuke, the second pillar had just opened the kaleidoscope, and his body went soft and fell. It should be because his mood fluctuated too much, and he fainted.
"This guy was unconscious for a few days. He fought with Itachi three days ago, right?"
"I have been in a coma."
Obito thought for a moment and looked at Su Xiao.
"Thank you for assisting me before, but I have never known your purpose."
"My purpose? Absorbing the Biju Chakra, this is the purpose of me joining Akatsuki."
Su Xiao was so straightforward. Obito was stunned.
"Did you notice the tailed beasts I caught before? They were all half-dead."
"Oh? Aren't you afraid that the leader will kill you?"
"Of course, I am afraid. The leader is too strong, and I am not his opponent. Greed will never retreat because of fear. Only with enough courage can you become stronger."
Su Xiao vaguely felt that Obito seemed to want to talk about something important.
"I transplanted the previous Sharingan."
Obito pointed to his Sharingan. This was his original eye, not a transplant.
"The ability is not bad, and this Sharingan is a space system."
"Very good. By the way, there is one more thing. The leader will not let you participate in the plan to capture the eight and nine tails. You should know the reason."
"I thought of it long ago."
The tailed beasts that Su Xiao captured were all half-dead. Nagato had a limit to his patience, which was two.
"What are you going to do after that? Leave Akatsuki? After all, your purpose has been completed."
"I haven't thought about it for the time being: the Mist Village, the Sand Village, the Rock Village, and Konoha. I have offended all four of them. Other than the Akatsuki organization, other forces won't take in a villain like me. I am just a killer who has no place to rest. Xiao can stay here. I will stay here."
After listening to Su Xiao's words, a smile appeared on the corner of the mouth under the mask.
If the former Su Xiao was not credible, then the current Su Xiao was very credible because he had offended too many forces. This was a desperate rebellious style, but Obito didn't know there was a place called the reincarnation paradise.
"Why don't you help me do something?"
Help you do things?
Su Xiao grinned.
"You are also a member of Akatsuki, the same level as me. Why should I help you do things?"
"Why? If I tell you, my name is Madara Uchiha, how about it?"
Su Xiao sneered in his heart, thinking that Obito was bragging.
"Uchiha... Madara."
Su Xiao stood up. He was considering whether to temporarily join Obito's strength, although the risk was not small.
If it were for before, he would return to Zetsu immediately, but now he had the power to protect himself, which was not impossible to consider.
Obito has been using Nagato to complete the Moon Eye plan, and Madara has been using Obito, while Black Zetsu has been using Madara. These people are using each other, and their relationship is complicated.
Now that things have come to this, Nagato could no longer let Su Xiao go after the Biju. Nagato's purpose was to use the power of the Biju to rule the world, thus stopping the war. Su Xiao had been absorbing the Chakra of the Biju, which made Nagato very dissatisfied.
Obito was different. His requirements were much more relaxed. It didn't matter how he absorbed it, as long as the Biju was still alive.
"If you are Uchiha Madara, I can understand it as... you are the real leader of Akatsuki?"
"No, the leader of Akatsuki is not Payne or me. He is a dead man named Yahiko. This is my agreement with Payne."
Su Xiao put out the cigarette between his fingers and looked at Obito: "Anyone can call themselves Madara Uchiha. I will think about it and give you an answer."
"Of course."
