One after another the phantom images appeared on the gedo statue.
Pain, Konan, Zetsu, Chiba, Kakuzu, Itachi, Deidara, Sasori.
Chiba habitually glanced around, and then asked in surprise:
"Where's Orochimaru?"
Pain said in a deep voice.
"Orochimaru betrayed the organization and escaped after his failed attack on Itachi!"
Chiba raised an eyebrow and looked at the silent Itachi, but he was not surprised.
Sasori burst into a cold laugh, "I knew that bastard couldn't be trusted!"
"He always put his personal affairs before the organization."
Deidara, who had just joined the organization, exclaimed exaggeratedly:
"Hey hey, that Orochimaru wouldn't be the guy I just met, would it?"
"I just joined the organization when someone defected. Are you guys reliable?"
Chiba and others were suddenly full of black lines.
Pain, in particular, felt humiliated and said in a deep voice.
"Orochimaru's defection is naturally not going to end like this."
"And although Orochimaru has defected, we have welcomed a new member."
"This is Deidara, you will form a team with Sasori from now on."
"Yo, hello everyone."
The arrival of Deidara finally added some vitality to the gloomy Akatsuki organization.
He stared at each member once, and then stared at Chiba with some surprise.
"Strange, there is even a pair of sharingan."
"I want to challenge you!"
Deidara blurted out, staring at Chiba with a gleaming gaze.
As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at him.
"Stop, he's stronger than me, you're no match for him!"
Itachi spoke up somewhat breathlessly to stop him, making Deidara look puzzled.
Afterward, the other members also spoke in a gloomy manner.
"Kid, don't rush to the top even if you want to die."
"This is the man who just defeated Lord Mizukage, can you challenge him?"
"Kid, you're not even close."
The members of the Akatsuki organization think highly of me.
Although he knew that Chiba had defeated Yagura, he did not know the exact process.
So he's a little upset about the fame Chiba got.
Deidara was a little confused.
Am I poking a hornet's nest?
He glared at Chiba with a bit irritated gaze.
Chiba looked at them with a smirk and sneered.
"If anyone is unhappy, they can try it, just don't regret it when they die!"
Although there are many murmurs, still no one dares to refute.
Pain has been watching all this with a cold eye, but when he sees this scene, he pays attention to it.
"Chiba's prestige in the organization is a little too much."
With a flash of thought, Pain said in a deep voice.
"Well, to continue with what we just said, in addition to Deidara, we have a new member joining our organization, only it will take a little time for him to arrive."
"Itachi, he will be your partner."
"Orochimaru is the first member of the Akatsuki organization to defect, he absolutely cannot be allowed to just leave!"
Sasori took the lead and said grimly.
"Leave it to me!"
"His clones under him are just about as good as my puppets, and I'll soon be able to find where he's hiding."
Chiba didn't speak, and he was not in a hurry about Orochimaru.
The current Orochimaru is not yet at its peak, the Impure World Reincarnation has not yet been perfected.
There will be plenty of opportunities later.
Pain nodded.
"Orochimaru is in your hands, next let Zetsu talk about the recent information."
"The situation in the shinobi world has not been stable lately."
"First of all, there is information from Konoha, after the Uchiha massacre incident, there was another Danzo incident in Konoha."
"Although the specific information is not very clear, it seems to have involved a number of clans in Konoha, causing no less turmoil than the Uchiha extermination incident."
"Now Danzo has been deprived of all rights, monitored by Anbu, and the root organization has been disbanded."
"Konoha today is in the most chaotic and weakest period in its history."
"Perhaps sensing an opportunity, Kumogakure has increased its troops at the border, and recently has been clashing more and more with Konoha."
"The Iwagakure and the Sunagakure followed suit, each increasing their forces at the border to confront each other."
Chiba was a little stunned to hear that.
He didn't expect that just exposing the secrets of Danzo, would cause the entire shinobi world to be turbulent.
"In that case, the purpose of Itachi extermination his clan can basically be said to be completely unfulfilled at all."
After all, Itachi exterminating his clan in addition to protect Sasuke, is to protect Konoha from war.
But he seems to have done nothing.
Chiba turned to Itachi and saw that his illusory expression was a little gloomy.
"Father, mother, and my clan!"
Itachi stood there numbly, his eyes dull.
For a moment, he wondered what the hell was the point of what he was doing.
These few guys who were afraid that the world would not be chaotic suddenly became excited.
"Is this the Fourth Shinobi World War about to break out?"
"Haha, in this way, our organization will have more and more tasks."
"This is the ultimate stage for my art!"
Pain said in a deep voice: "Next, our akatsuki organization will also enter the second stage ..."
Then he stated the next phase of the Akatsuki organization's goal, to collect the Tailed Beasts!
However, because the information has not yet been collected completely, so it needs to wait a little longer.
"Everyone stand by until the mission to collect the tailed beasts begins, the Shinobi world is in turmoil any time a mission may come up, and then it will be our chance to show the force of the Akatsuki organization."
Pain said in a deep voice, a bit of anticipation in his voice.
