Deidara rode his huge clay bird, galloping in the strong wind. Behind him, the unconscious little girl Kaede was lying quietly. She was the Seven-Tails Jinchūriki.
Not long after, Deidara arrived at a quiet grove. He moved lightly, jumped off the bird, and threw Kaede heavily to the ground without mercy. Already waiting were Hidan, Kakuzu, Kisame, and Sasori, who all looked at him.
"Hmph, Deidara, can't you be gentler to this little girl?" Kisame grinned and said.
Deidara shrugged his shoulders and said, "For the person who is about to become our trophy, there's no need to be so polite."
Kakuzu crossed his arms and said coldly, "Stop talking nonsense and think quickly about how to deal with it."
Sasori was silent for a moment, then said, "Let's wait for Pain and the others to decide."
After a few minutes of talking, they decided to find a quiet place to conduct the sealing ritual. In the depths of the grove, they sat together and formed seals with their hands. A ray of light flashed, and the shadows of several people appeared on the fingers of the giant heretic statue. At the same time, the shadows of Pain, Konan, and Tobi also slowly emerged.
Pain's cold voice sounded: "Start the meeting."
Everyone fell silent and focused on Pain.
"Deidara successfully captured the Seven-Tails Jinchūriki this time. It was an important step in our plan. But the next tailed beast hunts will be even more difficult," Pain said, his eyes sweeping across everyone. "From now on, we must take a group approach."
Hidan snorted disdainfully: "I can handle those guys by myself."
Kakuzu glared at him: "Don't be so self-righteous; the power of the tailed beasts cannot be underestimated."
Pain continued: "According to our information, the Nine-Tails Jinchūriki is the most powerful, and we need to make a detailed plan."
Konan nodded slightly: "And the other ninja villages will also strengthen their defenses. We cannot take this lightly."
Tobi said with a smile: "Oh, it sounds very interesting."
Deidara said impatiently: "Stop nagging and tell us what to do quickly."
Pain thought for a moment and said, "We will divide into several groups, each responsible for different areas. Kisame and Tobi will gather information; Hidan and Kakuzu will attack the target; Sasori and Deidara will be on standby to provide support. Konan and I will oversee the overall situation."
Everyone silently noted their tasks.
"During the operation, be sure to keep in touch. Once a tailed beast is discovered, gather immediately," Pain emphasized.
The meeting lasted for a long time, and everyone repeatedly discussed and confirmed the details. Finally, Pain said, "Okay, prepare to start the actual battle. Use the seal to extract the Seven-Tails from the girl's body."
Everyone began to form seals, and powerful chakra fluctuations surged around the heretic statue. Kaede, still in a coma, seemed to feel the danger and frowned, but she was unable to wake up.
As the sealing technique was performed, rays of light poured out from Kaede's body, gradually gathering into the mouth of the heretic statue. Kaede's body began to tremble, and a painful expression appeared on her face.
Sasori looked at this scene without the slightest pity in his eyes: "This is the necessary sacrifice to achieve peace."
Deidara watched the flow of light excitedly: "Haha, another tailed beast is about to become our power."
Kisame watched silently from the side, not knowing what he was thinking.
Finally, the light disappeared, and the Seven-Tails' chakra was completely sealed. Kaede's body fell limply to the ground as if she had lost her soul.
Pain said: "The Seven-Tails has been sealed. We will act according to the plan."
The shadows of everyone gradually disappeared, and the grove returned to calm. Deidara and the others left with the unconscious Kaede, embarking on a more dangerous tailed beast hunting trip.
Kisame and Tobi shuttled through dark corners, collecting all kinds of information. Tobi was still cynical, while Kisame remained ever vigilant.
"Tobi, stop fooling around and be serious," Kisame shouted in a low voice.
Tobi smiled and said, "I know, I know, it's really boring."
On the other side, Hidan and Kakuzu had already begun their attack. Hidan brandished his bloody scythe and attacked the enemy crazily: "Haha, let me send you to hell!"
Kakuzu calmly used various ninjutsu to coordinate with Hidan's attacks.
Sasori and Deidara were also on standby, ready to support other teams.
One day, Sasori coldly said to Deidara: "Deidara, come here. The leader has initiated a group chat meeting, come in quickly!"
"I'm so annoyed. What's the mission again?"
In a dark and mysterious place, members of the Akatsuki organization prepared to launch an important meeting. Pain's deep and majestic voice sounded in the empty space: "All members, prepare to use the magic lantern body technique."
The members responded one after another and quickly formed seals with their hands. For a moment, chakra fluctuations spread. A strange light flashed, and everyone's shadows appeared on the fingers of the huge heretic statue. The ferocious and huge body of the heretic statue exuded a commanding presence, speaking of endless darkness and power.
The phantom of Pain was at the forefront, his Rinnegan eyes staring coldly at everyone. "Everyone, we are gathering to ensure our plan advances smoothly."
Konan's white figure stood next to Pain, her expression calm and firm.
Deidara shouted excitedly: "Haha, big things are about to start again!"
Sasori gave him a cold look and said nothing.
Kakuzu snorted: "Don't just shout, listen to what the leader has to say first."
Pain continued: "At present, we have achieved certain results by capturing the tailed beasts, but it is far from enough. The next actions must be more cautious and efficient."
Hidan waved the bloody scythe in his hand and grinned, "Whatever, kill every one you see!"
Kisame frowned and said, "Don't be impulsive. We need planned moves."
Tobi interjected with a smile: "Don't be so serious, everyone."
Pain glared at Tobi, who immediately stopped smiling.
"We must pay close attention to the trends of the major ninja villages, and we must not let them hinder our plans," Pain's voice was full of majesty.
"Moreover, for those powerful Jinchūriki, detailed strategies must be formulated," Konan added.
Everyone nodded in agreement.
At this time, Zetsu, who had been silent, suddenly said: "I have collected some useful information."
Pain looked at Zetsu and said, "Speak."
Zetsu slowly said: "As far as I know, a certain ninja village seems to be strengthening its protective measures over their Jinchūriki and are studying ways to fight us."
Pain pondered for a moment: "This is expected. We must move quickly."
The meeting lasted for a while, and everyone discussed the next action plan in-depth. Finally, Pain said: "Everyone, in order to achieve our goals, we must unite as one and go all out."
