Chapter 71 Main Mission 5: The Xiao Organization Appears
After completing the main mission this time, Zhenyan landed on the comics forum.
Previously, a comic reader said that the black shadow did a good deed and took Naruto to Orochimaru's base. Now his mission has been completed. Zhenyan speculated that according to the comic author's previous capture rules, he might have been drawn as the black shadow that lured the new Team 7 to the snake cave.
Zhenyan thought this was a good opportunity to whitewash himself, but when he read the latest comics, he found that the black shadow did not appear at all in the part about the new team 7 exploring the snake cave...
After the new Team 7 left the Snake Cave, the comic author gave a shot of Black Shadow, which was a picture of him, Orochimaru, and the Ten-Tails at the Gate of the Origin Space.
The tall Ten-Tails occupies the entire foreground, and in the side corner is Orochimaru who is collecting the Ten-Tails Organization, and a black shadow facing the camera.
This time the shadow was no longer completely black, and its two eyes were painted red.
[Ahhh, the shadow's eyes are actually red!]
[This black shadow can't be Uchiha]
[No way, no way, didn’t the Uchiha clan become extinct?]
[Blind guess: Uchiha Itachi]
[The hairstyle is different, and the shadow has appeared with Uchiha Itachi before, so the shadow is definitely not Uchiha Itachi]
[I don't think it's necessarily Uchiha]
[I also think that Uchiha seems to have more frizzy hair, while the black shadow has long straight black hair]
[I zoomed in to see it, I can’t be sure of anything else, I can only be sure that the shadow’s face shape is perfect]
[I have also judged her, she is definitely a beauty]
[I don’t care whether he is a villain or not, I just ask the comic author to give a high-definition close-up and not always draw him in the corner]
[Seeking high-definition close-up]
[So today's picture is Beauty and the Beast?]
So what is that beast?
[I think it has something to do with Black Shadow's conspiracy]
[Is Black Shadow's conspiracy finally going to be exposed?]
[Jirai didn’t say before that someone was targeting the Tailed Beast]
[I just counted, the monster in the picture has ten tails]
[Aren’t there nine Tailed Beasts in total?]
[New setting, I feel like the plot is going to have new developments]
[Why didn't the tourist show up today?]
[Maybe I can’t continue writing this story, after all, the black shadow is too black to be washed out]
If you say Black Shadow can’t be cleansed, Zhen Yan might be able to accept it. But if you say he can’t continue making up stories, Zhen Yan thinks it’s not okay, so he comes out again: [Black Shadow might be doing charity.]
[Every time the tourist brother appears, I really want to type ellipsis]
[…Ellipses first]
[How can we tell that the black shadow is doing charity?]
[Don’t you think the Ten-Tails in the picture is pitiful?] Shingon replied.
[Monsters are pitiful?]
[Can't you see, fellow tourist, that the monster is going crazy?]
Truth: [It may be going crazy because it is hungry.]
[Next, you are not going to say that Black Shadow is doing charity to find food for the Ten-Tails, right?]
[So the food is other tailed beasts]
Seeing more and more people guessing the truth, Zhenyan was very pleased. He gave a thumbs up to the two people above and replied: [Congratulations, you will answer the question! ]
[...]
[…………]
Zhenyan quit the forum because the previous main quest was completed and a new main quest began.
[Main Mission 5: Xiao Organization is dispatched.] When the spiritual system reported the new mission, the voice was a little excited, [Host, the deviation rate of this main mission is 3%.]
It has been a long time since the inspiration system has seen such low numbers.
[This is a good start.] Zhenyan also said.
[Host, we must hold on this time.] The spiritual system said.
【No problem.】 Zhenyan replied.
However, just as he finished speaking, he heard the system say: [This time the main mission is divided into stages.]
Mantra: [Phase?]
[Yes.] The spiritual system said, [At this stage, the Akatsuki organization will capture the first seven tailed beasts one by one.]
The first seven? Shinon quickly realized that the Nine-Tails must be special in the protagonist, and the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki's ability to completely transform into a tailed beast is also special, so the comic author left two as the finale.
However, Zhenyan still has a doubt.
[Are you sure you want to arrest him?] Zhenyan confirmed.
Hearing Zhenyan's question, the spiritual system subconsciously alerted: [Host, what are you going to do? ]
[Let’s just say that the tailed beasts are all chakra, is it possible that capturing chakra is the same?] Shingon said.
Inspiration system: […………]
[The mission requirement is to capture the Tailed Beast!] The spiritual system emphasized.
[But I think the mission can be flexible.] Zhenyan said, [Look at the previous missions, didn’t you pass them smoothly according to my method?]
The inspiration system looked back and found that the deviation rate of past missions was a series of 10%...
[No, we must not do anything rash this time!] The attitude of the spiritual system became even more resolute.
[But the Tailed Beast is so powerful, and it has the protection of the Ninja Village. The Akatsuki Organization may not be able to defeat it.] Shingon stated the facts with reason and evidence.
Inspiration system: […………]
[The host's mission is to ensure the smooth completion of the main storyline.] The confidence of the spiritual system suddenly weakened.
[Yeah.] Zhenyan agreed repeatedly, [I will ensure that this main mission is also completed smoothly.]
Somehow, hearing the truth's assurance, my spiritual system became even more uneasy...
But the truth seems to be fine...
[Don't do anything unnecessary.] The inspiration system could only emphasize this dryly.
Mantra: [Do not do anything more than what is necessary to complete the mission.]
After calming the system down, Zhenyan analyzed the main mission again.
Zhenyan was not surprised that the main mission this time was related to the Xiao organization.
Having lived in the ninja world for such a long time, even if Shingon is not a pure native, he can at least be considered half a native. He has almost figured out the major and minor forces in the ninja world.
There are many countries, big and small, in the ninja world, and the ninja village is a special existence. The ninja village is equivalent to the military strength of a country. A strong ninja village means a strong country.
Therefore, the five major countries with the five major ninja villages are the five largest forces in the ninja world.
The Xiao organization, or rather the Rain Country where the Xiao organization is located, is a small country surviving in the cracks.
Although they are trying to survive in the cracks, the scope of the Xiao organization is not limited to what is in front of them.
Under the guidance of Black Zetsu, the leadership of Obito, and the organization of Pain, the Akatsuki organization has the long-term goal of saving the chakra ancestor and creating peace for the ninja world.
Combined with what Hei Zetsu said before, that there would be an alien invasion, Zhenyan has already guessed what kind of work the comic author wants to create.
Shingon guesses that the complete main storyline of the manga should be: Naruto, the protagonist who is the Jinchuriki, discovers that a mysterious organization is targeting the Tailed Beast. In order to fight against this organization, Naruto and the Tailed Beast in his body, Kurama, become good friends.
As Naruto grows up, he has more and more partners around him, and more and more people support him. Finally, one day, the protagonist group confronts the Akatsuki organization, but they soon discover that the Akatsuki organization is not the enemy. It turns out that there is a greater crisis hidden in the ninja world - aliens.
Later, the forces led by the five major ninja villages formed an alliance with the Akatsuki organization, and the entire ninja world worked together to rescue the chakra ancestor. Together, they fought against the aliens and protected their homeland...
According to this main plot development, although the Akatsuki organization will take action against the tailed beast, it will definitely not completely break up the relationship with the five major ninja villages. After all, they will have to work together to rescue the grandmother and fight against the aliens...
The above is Shingon's speculation about the main plot, and his mission this time is to ensure that the Akatsuki organization leaves room for maneuver. It would be even better if they could establish diplomatic relations with the five major ninja villages while absorbing the chakra of the tailed beast...
After sorting out the main storyline, Shinon tracked the Flying Thunder God mark on Itachi and came to the Akatsuki organization.
After meeting Itachi, Shingon first talked about Sasuke's growth in the past two years.
"He's almost as tall as me."
"And the eyes, they should be upgraded soon."
"I accidentally destroyed one of Uncle Snakemaru's bases not long ago."
"As a master, Uncle Orochimaru didn't argue with Sasuke, but I still gave him some compensation."
"Itachi can use the transformation technique to go and have a look. After all, Uncle Orochimaru's base is not as heavily guarded as Konoha Village. You can just say hello and go there."
Itachi listened to the truth without saying anything, but the corners of his mouth curled up, which was rare.
Seeing Itachi's expression, Zhenyan couldn't help but ask: "Itachi, have you practiced well in the past two years?"
"Last time Sasuke asked me who was stronger between him and you, and I didn't know how to answer."
Itachi thought for a moment and said, "Before Sasuke's eyes were upgraded, I should have been stronger."
"What if we upgrade?" Zhenyan asked curiously.
This time Itachi hesitated: "It should be me."
"Sasuke has worked very hard in the past two years." Shingon said. He felt that winning or losing was uncertain.
Looking at the truth speaking for Sasuke, Itachi smiled again and explained: "Sasuke is too naive and too kind. When the strength is equal, winning or losing is sometimes determined by will."
Shingon was stunned for a moment, and he asked Itachi: "Is Itachi not kind?"
"If he fights against Sasuke, will Itachi be able to be ruthless enough to cut him down with his sword?"
Itachi: “…………”
If it was a life-and-death battle, Itachi really couldn't do it, and the ending he originally prepared for himself was to die under Sasuke's sword, but if it was just a sparring match, Itachi felt that as an older brother, he should still win.
"If Sasuke can defeat you, then tell Sasuke the truth." Shingon suddenly said.
Itachi was silent for a moment, then said, "Sasuke..."
"Sasuke has grown up." Shingon took over Itachi's words and said, "I believe that Sasuke, who can defeat Itachi, must also have the ability to distinguish right from wrong."
Itachi pursed his lips. He looked at the burning light in Shingon's eyes, and suddenly his mind flashed through the changes of the Akatsuki organization over the years. In fact, it was not just the Akatsuki organization. The first to change should be the Konoha Village, and later the Sound Village...
The truth is like a small flame. Wherever it jumps to, it ignites a flame.
The light of the flame may not be noticeable at first, but before you know it, the fire grows stronger and stronger, eventually illuminating the ninja world in front of you, which is still filled with smoke despite the ceasefire.
Itachi could not forget the scene of the Ninja World War he saw when he was a child. It was a world of only killing, death and biting cold, but now clusters of fire were burning and the cold was gradually dispelled.
Itachi believed in Managao, which was why he handed Sasuke over to Managao, because when he was with Managao, it was difficult for darkness to arise in his heart.
And now that Shingon says he believes in Sasuke, maybe he should step out of his brother's perspective and try to make Sasuke understand the real ninja world.
Itachi agreed to Shingon's proposal.
And because he temporarily forgot the existence of such a thing as mouth-to-mouth persuasion, Itachi was still looking forward to the future competition with Sasuke...
After talking to Itachi about Sasuke, Shingon learned about the situation of the Akatsuki organization.
The previous comic turned from the new Team 7 exploring the snake cave to the appearance of the Ten-Tails, so Shinon guessed that the comic author wanted to use the Ten-Tails to reveal the existence of the Akatsuki organization.
The development of the Xiao organization has been relatively stable in the past two years, but it has been under close scrutiny recently.
This time, the people who targeted the Akatsuki organization were Minato Namikaze and Jiraiya.
Just recently, Minato Namikaze, who had traveled the entire ninja world, finally confirmed that the mysterious organization named "Akatsuki" had its headquarters in the Hidden Rain Village in the Land of Rain.
At the beginning, Minato Namikaze thought that the Akatsuki organization had no fixed base. After all, the Akatsuki organization had successively controlled the Fourth Mizukage and the Fourth Kazekage, and it seemed like a force that was parasitic on the Great Ninja Village.
Therefore, Minato Namikaze once speculated that after the Fourth Kazekage and the Sand Village, the Akatsuki organization would most likely target other ninja villages. Considering the changes in the Chunin Exams, Minato Namikaze was very worried that the Akatsuki organization's next target would be Konoha Village.
Jiraiya also thought of this, which is why he stayed in the village for two years after traveling around the ninja world. In addition to being in charge of the ninja school and teaching Naruto, he was also worried that the Akatsuki organization would take action against Konoha and Tsuna.
But Konoha has been at peace in the past two years, and other ninja villages in the ninja world seem to no longer be controlled by the Akatsuki organization. Namikaze Minato turned his attention to the Hidden Rain Village in the Rain Country.
The reason why they went back to the Hidden Rain Village was because of the Puppet Car.
The puppet car is made by transforming a scorpion puppet. The process and parts involved are very complicated, making it difficult to achieve mass production.
So now that bicycles have become popular throughout the ninja world, there are still only two Hundred-Change Puppetry. One is Scorpion's, and the other is the puppet car that Shingon once drove in front of Minato Namikaze and Jiraiya.
It was after Namikaze Minato saw the puppet car driven by Scorpion in the Hidden Rain Village that he began to re-investigate the Hidden Rain Village.
Minato Namikaze once thought that the Hidden Rain Village might be just like the former Hidden Mist Village and the Hidden Sand Village, just a puppet controlled by the Akatsuki organization. However, after an in-depth investigation, he found that there was no news about Hanzo in the Hidden Rain Village.
Although Hanzo is not called Kage, he is the recognized leader of the Hidden Rain Village. In the first two Ninja World Wars, he was even awarded the title of Demigod.
In the past, the Akatsuki organization always controlled the ninja villages by controlling their leaders. Why did something unusual happen this time?
Where did Hanzo go? Is the Hidden Rain Village really just a puppet controlled by the Akatsuki Organization?
The answer to the question was determined when Minato Namikaze found out that Scorpion of the Red Sand was a member of the Akatsuki organization. It is easy to associate Scorpion of the Red Sand with Scorpion brand bicycles, and the bicycle factory is in the Hidden Rain Village.
Also, before, when they set their sights on the Hidden Rain Village, the Jinchūriki of the major ninja villages began to be attacked one after another, which can also be understood as the Akatsuki organization trying to divert their attention.
So, after integrating all the situations, Minato Namikaze finally concluded that the Hidden Rain Village was the headquarters of the Akatsuki organization.
After hearing the news, Jiraiya could no longer sit still, so he left Konoha again and came to the Hidden Rain Village.
Now, Jiraiya and Namikaze Minato have been keeping a close eye on the Hidden Rain Village. It is probably impossible to divert their attention by making some noise like last time.
In order to prevent the two from disrupting the order in the Hidden Rain Village and sabotaging the actions of the Akatsuki Organization, Payne, the security guard of the Akatsuki Organization Group, has already planned to take action.
Now that the truth has come, he feels that it is not yet time to take action.
"Itachi, I'm going to leave for a while." Zhenyan decided to mediate between the two parties.
"What are you going to do?" Itachi was very worried and stopped Shinyan to ask.
"Tell Uncle Minato and Uncle Kuraya that they can investigate, but don't forget to abide by the law." Shingon said.
Itachi: “…………”!
