Danzo had no doubts. He frowned and thought for a long time before nodding and saying, "Since it is a problem related to Konoha, I will naturally go and solve it. If it is inconvenient for you, I can do it for you. However, I hope that nothing will happen in the village while I am away."
"Don't worry about that. Jiraiya and I will take good care of the village." Tsunade nodded and said no more. After a few symbolic instructions, the two left the Root base.
…
After leaving the Root underground base, Tsunade, who had been holding back, burst out laughing and said happily, "I didn't expect this old guy to agree to us so easily. This time we finally got to use him once. This feels really good, don't you think, Jiraiya?"
"That's right." Jiraiya also smiled and nodded, "I just don't know if Danzo can complete the task. I guess there is a high possibility that he will be killed by Hitani. What do you think?"
"I think so, but it's also a good thing." Tsunade smiled and said, "It's better to let him die and never come back."
Compared with the threat of Akatsuki, Tsunade is more concerned about the threat lurking in the village, Danzo. No matter how strong Akatsuki is, it is an organization outside the village, and Danzo controls most of the power in the village and has absolute say. The threat level is much higher than Akatsuki.
"Then let's wait for good news." Jiraiya waved his hand and walked towards the tavern in the village, saying lazily: "I finally returned to Konoha. I'm going to have a drink in the tavern and catch up with Naruto. Before I find you, don't take the initiative to find me."
…
…
In a flash, another half month passed.
In the Hidden Rain Village, on the open-air balcony of the Akatsuki organization's base, Hitani was sitting on the balcony, enjoying the rare sunny day in the Hidden Rain Village.
When he was enjoying the sun, Yugao Uzuki came over with some food. She gently placed the food next to Hitani, then sat down next to Hitani and said lightly, "It's time to eat!"
"It's you." Hitani looked at her and then closed his eyes to rest.
In the past half month, Yugao Uzuki's personality has changed a lot. Even if she regained her freedom, she never left the base far away. She gradually became virtuous and often cooked and washed clothes for Hitani.
Sometimes, Hitani had the illusion that he and Yugao Uzuki were already married.
-The novel was taken from the (rolyz) website. Close where you're reading it and support us on our website for more free novels- "Have you gained weight recently?" Hitani glanced at Yugao Uzuki's belly.
Yugao Uzuki's belly used to be very flat, but in the past half month, her belly has bulged a little, but other parts of her body have not gained weight, which looks a little bit out of proportion.
"But… maybe." Yugao Uzuki turned away guiltily.
When Hitani was about to say something else, Pain and Kakuzu also went up to the roof and walked in front of Hitani.
"Sorry to bother you." Pain said politely, "It's been half a month since I captured the three-tailed beast, so I decided to start the task of capturing the four-tailed beast. Are you free? If you don't have time, I'll arrange for someone else to do it."
"You don't have to hand it over to anyone else, just let me do it." Hitani said calmly.
"That's good." Pain nodded, pointed at Kakuzu beside him, and said, "Then you and Kakuzu will go together on this mission."
"Whatever you want." Hitani shook his head indifferently.
Working in pairs is a common style of the Akatsuki organization, but this is not because of lack of strength, but to facilitate mutual surveillance in pairs to avoid leaking the organization's intelligence. Except for Konan, Pain does not trust any member of the organization.
"The Four-tailed Jinchuriki is named Roshi, a bard. He was originally a ninja from the Hidden Rock Village. Because of his stubborn personality, he left the village after falling out with the Tsuchikage and wandered alone, learning to master the power of the tailed beasts. It is very likely that he is a Jinchuriki who can use the power of the tailed beasts like the Eight-tailed Jinchuriki." Pain introduced.
After a pause, Pain continued: "The specific location of the Four-tailed Jinchuriki, Zetsu's clone will tell you on the way. If there is no problem, you can set off as soon as possible. By the way, this time the destination is in the territory of the Land of Earth. It is very likely that you will encounter Iwagakure ninjas. If it is not necessary, do not conflict with them."
The Tsuchikage Ohnoki is an old man in his nineties, but although he is very old, he is very strong. His fighting methods include bloodline elimination and dust escape, and he is also rich in combat experience. He is a living fossil of the same era as Senju Hashirama, so Pain does not want to provoke Ohnoki in advance.
"Stop talking nonsense, Kakuzu, let's go." Hitani waved his hand nonchalantly, and walked downstairs with Kakuzu, ready to go on the mission.
Kakuzu didn't care about Hitani's condescending attitude, and hurriedly followed behind Hitani and walked out together.
After they left, Pain looked at Yugao Uzuki who was sitting there, and asked rarely: "Your belly… seems to be bigger than before."
Yugao Uzuki glanced at him, turned and left without saying a word.
