Time passed quickly, and since the Golden List was launched, it was already the tenth day.
For a few days, even with the threat of Senju Hashirama.
But the Kage-level ninja hidden in the ninja world finally couldn't bear the loneliness and boarded the challenge field of the golden list.
However, no one from the challenger was able to defeat the existing powerhouses on the Golden List and win their place.
Some people were seriously injured because of the challenge, and they hid quietly to recuperate their bodies.
Rain Shinobi Village, in a dark room inside.
After a few days of work, the originally silent room was already full of people.
Everyone was wearing red clouds and black cloaks, and obviously, they were all members of the Akatsuki organization.
"Hey, Hidan and Kakuzu, you two have finally arrived."
"In this way, everyone is here."
Orochimaru, who had appeared at Kirigakure, raised his head and glanced playfully at Hidan and Kakuzu who entered the room.
"Yo, isn't this Orochimaru, one of Konoha's Sannin? This time you came to the meeting honestly."
Hidan looked at Orochimaru with arrogance in his eyes.
"Your blood seems to be good. If I can sacrifice you to the evil god, he will be very happy."
"I'm also quite curious about your body, Hidan, why don't you let me study it well, maybe I can make you and your Evil God closer."
"Very good! In that case, let's go out and play now, Orochimaru!"
With that said, Hidan has drawn his weapon.
"Stop, Orochimaru, Hidan, do you want to fight in front of the leader?"
Akatsuki's second-in-command, Konan, opened her eyes and glanced coldly at the noisy Orochimaru and Hidan.
"Tsk."
Seeing Konan speak, Hidan put it away even though he was unhappy, found a seat for himself, and sat down.
Orochimaru also closed his mouth.
The two of them are not afraid of Konan, but of the man next to Konan.
They know that Payne, who has Rinnegan's ability, is not an existence that the two of them can defeat.
It's better to be quiet than to die.
"Since everyone is here, let's start." Payne opened his eyes and glanced at the members of the Akatsuki organization in the room.
"I won't say anything else; I just want to confirm: do you have any plans to challenge those on the golden list ranking?"
"Hey, you called us here just to ask if we have any idea challenging the Golden List ranking?"
Hidan frowned and looked at Payne.
"Of course not." Konan said, "Confirming whether you have planned to challenge the golden list ranker is only one of the reasons, and more importantly, it is to discuss how to deal with the situation after the Golden List appears.
"I believe you have also seen it. The Golden List has drawn many powerful ninjas."
"The most prominent is that man, Rifan."
Having said that, Konan raised her head and looked at the name of Rifan, who was ranked second in the [Kage Ranking].
After a slight pause for two seconds, she continued:
"I believe you also understand that although Rifan is only second, his strength is probably the most outstanding existence in this world."
"In addition, Rifan's disciples have two Kages from two villages, and his influence has already crossed the ninja world and has become the largest force."
"This time, the most important thing is to discuss the countermeasures to get along with the Rifan forces."
After Konan finished speaking, the S-class rebels at the scene fell silent.
There is no way. After seeing the power displayed by Rifan, even the arrogant Hidan understands that he will not be Rifan's opponent.
Fighting Rifan? There is no such thought of fighting Rifan.
It was already a blessing not to be targeted by Rifan.
"Speaking of Rifan, I saw him in Kirigakure."
Just then, Orochimaru's voice broke the silence of the scene.
"Huh? Orochimaru, have you met Rifan?
Payne frowned and looked over.
Not only Payne, but the rest of Akatsuki's organization also looked over curiously.
Hidan: "Have you seen Rifan, snake? If that's true, won't he kill you if he sees a disgusting person like you?"
Sasori: "Rifan? Orochimaru, what did he tell you?"
Kisame: "Rifan appeared in Kirigakure…is it because of Terumi Mei? Don't tell me it's also Rifan who made Terumi Mei's decision to recruit ninjas on the Golden List?"
"Tell me, Orochimaru," Payne said. "People like you shouldn't lie. What did you see in Kirigakure? What did Rifan do?"
