Two days later, Orochimaru arrived at the junction of the three countries, and after waiting in a small forest for less than ten minutes, Deva Path dropped from the sky.
"You…"
Orochimaru looked at Deva Path's eyes, and his pupils shrank: 'Rinnegan?'
'It turned out to be Rinnegan, which is collectively known as one of the Three Great Dojutsu alongside Sharingan and Byakugan!'
Orochimaru's desire soared as he looked up and down at Deva Path, and then he asked in a hoarse voice: "Who are you?"
At this time, Orochimaru did not associate the Rinnegan with Nagato. As for the reason, of course it is because pf Danzo's intelligence concealment!
During the Third Shinobi World War, Orochimaru, under the instigation of Kanpū, sent Root's Shinobi to hunt down Nagato, who was suspected of being a member of the Uzumaki Clan. As a result, all the Root's Shinobi, who were dispatched, died!
After the Battle of Kikyo Pass, Orochimaru returned to Konoha and asked Danzo to track about Nagato's information.
Later, Danzo wreaked havoc in the Land of Rain, during which he discovered Nagato and saw the terrifying power of Nagato's Rinnegan!
In order to monopolize Rinnegan, Danzo resolutely left Orochimaru and turned around to cooperate with Hanzo to deal with the Akatsuki, but in the end, they failed.
And from beginning to end, Danzo did not tell Orochimaru any information about Rinnegan!
So, when Orochimaru saw Deva Path's face, only Rinnegan is in his mind!
But Nagato, who controls Deva Path, remembers everything clearly.
"Orochimaru…"
Many years ago, when Nagato, Yahiko, and Konan first met their teacher, Jiraiya, this man wanted to kill them!
Years later, during the Third Shinobi World War, he and Konan went to Konoha's main camp to appeal for peace through discussion. Not only did they not see the Konoha's Commander-in-Chief Orochimaru at the time, they were even hunted down by Konoha's Shinobi after leaving!
With all that, new hatred piled on the old hatred…
Deva Path looks at Orochimaru expressionless, the Chakra on his body was flowing rapidly, and Rinnegan's pupil power is gradually boiling!
Orochimaru sensed Deva Path's state, and without saying anything further, he takes the first shot: "Sen'ei Jashu!" (Hidden Shadow Snake Hands)
Deva Path lowered his eyes slightly, and stretched out his hand: "Shinra Tensei!"
Boom!!
The violent repulsive force turned into a non-cast air wall, pushing everything away, venomous snake, forest trees, weeds, gravel, sand, everything was pushed out by the repulsive force and turned into a turbid torrent that descended on Orochimaru in an instant, and blow him away in one strike!
"What kind of Ninjutsu is this?!"
Amidst the unbelievable exclamation, Orochimaru drifted with the waves in the repulsive force, feeling the pain of his body being torn by the repulsive force, and his thoughts revolved.
Orochimaru once dreamed of pushing Ninjutsu to the extreme. For this reason, he sneaked into Anbu's forbidden data room to learn Ninjutsu. He was a scholarly man, but even so, he had never seen such Ninjutsu, or even heard it!
'Is this Rinnegan's unique Dojutsu?'
The repulsive force slowly dissipates, and Orochimaru lay on the ground, no part of his skin was intact.
But he didn't panic. He opened his mouth, and a peeling skin directly sloughed off the damaged body like snakeskin, and a new wet and greasy body emerged from his 'old skin'. With a rapid cell activation. Orochimaru returned to in front of Deva Path in full vigor.
"As expected of the Konoha's legendary Sannin, Orochimaru, you are worthy of my personal invitation."
Nagato has already suppressed the killing-intent in his heart at this time, so Deva Path naturally became peaceful, even though it still looks expressionless.
Orochimaru grinned: "I want your eyes more than entering your organization!"
Hearing this, Deva Path said coldly: "Orochimaru, you are not my opponent."
While speaking, the other five Pain also fell from the sky, and the six pairs of Rinnegan stared at Orochimaru without emotion.
"Six pairs of Rinnegan?" Orochimaru frowned.
Although he is confident in his skin peeling and extreme cell activation, every time he uses extreme cell activation, his vitality will be consumed, and if he uses it too many times in a battle, his body will run out of vitality and die!
Orochimaru obviously wouldn't do this before completing his Living Corpse Reincarnation!
'Should I take the risk?'
Orochimaru stared at the Six Paths of Pain and slowly lowered his golden vertical pupils.
'Before thoroughly grasping all the information about the Rinnegan, it is too risky to fight in one-on-six battle!'
"Orochimaru, join Akatsuki!"
Seeing Orochimaru showed a look of hesitation, Deva Path immediately began to recruit, "There are a lot of research materials in the organization for you to experiment, and you can do all the forbidden experiments you want to do!"
Hearing this, Orochimaru grinned: "In that case, I agree!"
...
The next day.
The border between the Land of Wind and the Land of Rain.
Hyōketsu, who was wearing a White Zetsu's clone coat, successfully found Konan… and Sasori.
Yes, he came late. At this time, Sasori has been successfully recruited into Akatsuki by Konan!
"It looks like my trip was in vain."
After taking off the White Zetsu's clone, Hyōketsu's icy gaze passed through the ice crystal mask and landed on Sasori indifferently.
Of course, Hyōketsu knows the grudge between the main body and Sasori, but he has finally gotten into Akatsuki, so he won't attack him at this juncture.
"Who are you?" Sasori, who is hiding in Hiruko, said with a deep voice.
"He is Yuki Hyōketsu."
Konan introduced, "He is the member who entered the organization before you, his code name is South."
'Yuki Hyōketsu?'
Sasori laughed muffledly: "The Yuki Clan of Kirigakure, Ice Release Shinobi, Akatsuki are really full of talents."
"This puppet of yours is not bad either."
Hyōketsu kicked Hiruko on the waist, and said with a strange smile, "It looks like it was newly made."
Hiding inside Hiruko, Sasori's pupils shrank, and he instantly attacked Hyōketsu!
Whoosh!!
With the sound of piercing through the air, an afterimage shot out from under Hiruko's butt, and rushed straight to Hyōketsu's head.
At the beginning of the battle between Sasori and Tenkū, he clearly had the upper hand, but he was strangely 'dragged' by the latter to the point that his puppet Wild Fox and puppet Hiruko were destroyed, and he finally even had to give up the one hundred red-clothed puppets before he got away smoothly.
And now, he was 'taunted' by Hyōketsu as soon as they met. Isn't it exposing his scars?
"You're really rude."
Hyōketsu flickered behind Konan and took the opportunity to tattletale, "Sister Konan, this guy hit me!"
Konan remained expressionless, and stretched out her hand slightly to stop Sasori, who wanted to continue attacking: "Stop, Hyōketsu didn't mean to slander you, Sasori, don't be impulsive."
Sasori controlled Hiruko to slowly back away, and at the same time, he retracted the giant tail made of steel.
He realized that he was indeed too aggressive just now, and he thought that Hyōketsu had nothing to do with that Tenkū.
But…
"Apologize to my art." Sasori said solemnly, "You insulted my art with your feet!"
Konan turned her head and looked towards the person hiding behind her.
Hyōketsu rolled his eyes, and said coldly: "Sasori of the Red Sand, what did you use to make this Puppet, did you use your hands or your feet?"
Sasori faintly felt something is wrong, but still replied: "Of course it's my hands."
"Hands and feet are both human organs, collectively called limbs, regardless of high or low!"
Hyōketsu quietly changed the concept, "If using feet to touch a puppet is an insult to you, don't you always insult your own art when you make a puppet?"
Inside Hiruko, the red-haired Sasori has a tight frown on his forehead. He felt that what Hyōketsu said makes a lot of sense and he can't refute it, but for some reason, he hates this guy more and more!!
Konan also frowned. She found that neither Sasori or Hyōketsu are easy to be with.
Sasori's lone personality and calling his puppet art, Hyōketsu's venomous tongue and strange debate skills all make Konan feel a headache!
If possible, she doesn't want to deal with them, but Nagato couldn't show up, and the Deva Path he controlled had to maintain the 'God' attitude, so in the end, she still has to be the one to mediate the conflicts among the organization's members!
"Sasori, Hyōketsu, please stop speaking." Konan sighed helplessly, but her face still showed indifference.
"Yes, I'll hear what Sister Konan says." Hyōketsu gives Konan a lot of face, not because he likes Konan, but because the only person Nagato trusts in Akatsuki is Konan, so the benefits of having a good relationship with Konan are self-evident!
Sasori didn't know about it, so he turned around without saying a word, and set off to the Land of Rain.
"Let's go back."
Konan didn't care about Sasori's attitude, moved her long legs lightly, and rushed towards the Land of Rain.
"Sister Konan, what are we going to do next?" Hyōketsu moved closer to Konan, at a distance of about half a meter, which would neither arouse Konan's disgust nor make her feel alienated, just a comfortable distance.
Konan doesn't understand these kind of things, and replied with a cold face: "At this stage, our mission is to recruit more members. We need to collect information about all countries' Missing-nin. If there are suitable candidates, we will go and recruit them. "
Hyōketsu immediately took advantage of the topic and said: "Sister Konan, there is a risk in recruiting Missing-nin. And it is easy to be in danger if you are alone. Why don't we act together next time?"
Konan showed thoughtful look, and said: "What you said is reasonable. I will tell Pain your thoughts when I go back."
"Then, Sister Konan agrees to form a team with me?" Hyōketsu asked with a smile.
"No."
Konan looks steadily forward, "Even if the organization implements a two-person team in the future, I will only be in a team with Pain."
"Then, you're telling me I need to on the same team with this guy, who is walking so slowly on the ground?"
Hyōketsu didn't continue to entangle this matter so as not to arouse Konan's disgust, so he deliberately brought the topic to Sasori.
Sure enough!
After hearing Hyōketsu's words, Sasori was furious: "Bastard, even if you wanted to, I won't form a team with you!!"
Seeing this, Konan had another headache.
...
Three days later.
Hyōketsu, Konan and Sasori returned to Amegakure.
On the other side, Deva Path and Orochimaru, also returned to the village.
And Zetsu, who has been going out to inquire about information, has also returned.
On the fourth day, under the auspices of Deva Path, the first plenary meeting of Akatsuki was officially held!
Attending the meeting was Deva Path, code name Zero.
Konan, code name White.
Zetsu, code name Boar.
Hyōketsu, code name South.
Orochimaru, code name Void.
And Sasori, code name Jewel!
