Chapter 78 Main Mission 5: Temporary Workers and Leaders

The Akatsuki organization has entered phase three of its deployment, and it's time to attack the Three-Tails, whose Jinchūriki is the Fourth Mizukage.

Obito once controlled the Fourth Mizukage, and this time Shingon originally wanted to invite Obito to act together. However, perhaps because of what he read in the newspaper last time, Obito has been a little withdrawn recently, and has been locking himself in the room and not seeing anyone.

Shingon had no choice but to find a teammate to travel with and invited Kisame.

Kisame is a traitor ninja from the Hidden Mist Village, and is very suitable for this operation.

Shingon had a good idea. As a traitor ninja of the Hidden Mist Village, Kisame was hunted down by the Hidden Mist Ninjas as soon as he appeared. In the end, the real boss, the Fourth Hokage, took action himself. This fight was the most real one.

After all, the Fourth Mizukage was once controlled by the Akatsuki organization. Now members of the Akatsuki organization have reappeared, and they are ninjas who defected from the village. As the kage of a village, he must get back at all costs.

However, Kisame's title is the Tailed Beast without a Tail, and his strength is not weak. In addition, he also has the big sword Samehada that can absorb chakra, so he is not at all inferior to the Fourth Mizukage.

Shingon had to take action in the end because Samehada was too good at absorbing chakra. If he had waited any longer, the chakra of the three-tailed Isofakid would have been almost completely absorbed by Samehada.

Shingon absorbed Isobue's chakra and left a Flying Thunder God mark on Isobue's tail.

Seeing the two were about to leave, the Fourth Mizukage couldn't help but ask: "What is your purpose?"

Shingon stopped and thought that since they came to the Hidden Mist Village, they should give an explanation to the Mizukage.

"It's because Brother Kisame missed home that we came to visit the Hidden Mist Village." Shingon's tone was very sincere. "Thank you for the warm hospitality of Mizukage-sama. It relieved Brother Kisame's homesickness."

The Fourth Mizukage: “…………”

After the Mist Village are the Four-Tails and the Five-Tails. The two tailed beasts are in the Iwagakure Village. Shingon decided to act together. The Iwagakure Village is Deidara's hometown, so Deidara participated in this action. In addition to Deidara, Shingon also invited Scorpion who had time.

The three of them arrived at the Iwagakure Village and received the same "welcome from the side roads" treatment as they did at the Kumogakure Village.

The host was very hospitable and the guest should not be too rude, so Zhenyan once again used the strategy of "reasoning first and then using force".

Shingon used the strategy of "reasoning first and then using force" to neutralize the enemy's weapons, but on his side, Deidara and Scorpion almost came to blows. The reason for this was because of their different artistic concepts.

Scorpio believes that art is eternal, while Deidara believes that art is a momentary explosion.

"I think art is speaking." As soon as Zhenyan opened his mouth, he attracted the fire of both people.

"If you don't agree, then have a debate with me." Zhenyan, who firmly believed in the power of language, challenged the two at the same time, "If I win, then it proves that I am right. If you lose, then you have to admit that 'speaking' is the most powerful art."

Scorpion: “…………”

Deidara: “…………”

Deidara and Scorpion stopped arguing and both of them got down to work, one in charge of the Four-Tails and the other in charge of the Five-Tails.

Shingon is responsible for chatting with the Tsuchikage, mainly practicing the art of speaking.

"Why are there two tailed beasts in your village?" Zhenyan asked curiously.

The Tsuchikage blew his beard and glared, wishing he could just disappear into the dust and let the truth turn to ashes, but he was infected by the art of speaking and could do nothing but glare...

There was no answer. Shingon looked at the Tsuchikage's white beard and started chatting again: "Grandpa, how old are you this year?"

"You are so old and you don't retire. Aren't the younger generation at home worried about your health?"

The corners of the Tsuchikage's mouth trembled as if he had a cramp, and he couldn't utter a word for a long time.

"Grandpa, please don't be anxious. If you have anything to say, please take your time." Zhenyan said to comfort him, "When you get older, you are most afraid of getting anxious. Once you get anxious, your body will easily get sick."

Tsuchikage: “…………”

The Tsuchikage's face flushed red, and he didn't know whether it was because he was holding it in or because he was angry. He took a deep breath, and after catching his breath, he finally spoke out: "Who the hell are you? How dare you openly become enemies with the five major ninja villages!"

"For the enemy?" Zhenyan shook his head quickly, "You misunderstood, we never had this idea, we know that the organization loves peace the most."

The Tsuchikage's eyes swept over Scorpion and Deidara who were fighting the Jinchūriki, and the meaning he wanted to express was very clear.

Shingon also looked over and explained, "You should know that tailed beasts are most likely to lose control and run wild, and you have two of them imprisoned here at the same time, so the risk is doubled."

"We'll come over and help you consume the chakra of the tailed beasts, so that they won't have the energy to run away."

Tsuchikage: “…………”

"You don't need to say thank you." Shingon said humbly, "After all, Deidara was once a member of the Hidden Rock Village. Now that he has made a name for himself outside, it is only natural for him to come back and help his hometown solve some problems."

Tsuchikage: “…………”

The Tsuchikage had never seen such a shameless person before. His blood pressure instantly rose as he became furious.

"Grandpa, you don't look very well. If you feel uncomfortable, go back and rest." Zhenyan said every word with sincerity, "I'll just watch over here."

"Don't worry, I'm here and I won't let them harm the villagers of your village."

The Tsuchikage pointed at Zhenyan with trembling fingers: "You...you..."

Shingo thought that the Tsuchikage was worried, so he patted his chest and assured him again: "Leave it to me, we are the messengers of love and justice!"

The Tsuchikage's eyes suddenly went dark, and he staggered twice, becoming unsteady on his feet. Seeing this, Shingon immediately supported him.

The Iwagakure ninjas who were watching were restrained by Shingen's persuasion and could not take action, but when they saw that their own Tsuchikage was ill, they could not help but step forward.

"What are you going to do to Lord Tsuchikage?" a Iwagakure ninja asked.

"Don't worry about me now!" Shingon said, "Hurry up and help your Tsuchikage-sama to rest!"

Iwagakure ninjas: “…………”

Although they were still very suspicious, the Tsuchikage was the most important. Two ninjas stepped forward and took the Tsuchikage from Shingon. After finding that Shingon did not attack them, they immediately helped the Tsuchikage away...

And Zhenyan thought that the old man was not feeling well and must need rest, so he absorbed the chakras of the Four-Tailed Sun and the Five-Tailed Muwang.

Before leaving, Shingon also left the Flying Thunder God Mark on the two tailed beasts so that they could come directly next time.

After completing the missions of the Four-Tail and the Five-Tail, the next stop is the Six-Tail.

The Six-Tails Jinchuriki Yugao is a traitor ninja from the Hidden Mist Village. He has been wandering around, but Black Zetsu has always had White Zetsu track him secretly.

Hearing that Zhenyan was going to take action, Bai Jue sent intelligence that Yu Gao was near the Tsuchigumo clan.

After getting the intelligence, Zhenyan invited Xiaonan to go with him this time.

As Mangon is the most special existence in the Akatsuki organization, Konan really wants to know what ability Mangon uses to control the Ten-Tails, so Konan did not refuse Mangon's invitation.

With Bai Jue delivering intelligence at any time, the two quickly found Yu Gao after arriving near the Tsuchigumo clan.

Yu Gao was stunned for a moment when he saw Zhenyan, but finally recognized the person through the familiar vortex mask: "It's you."

"Brother Bubble." Zhenyan also greeted him.

Yugao is different from other Chuuriki, he is a wandering rebel ninja. When he first met Shingon who was asking for chakra, Yugao thought that Shingon was a ninja sent by the Hidden Mist Village to hunt him down, but Shingon appeared several times and never hurt anyone except taking away chakra. Moreover, every time he saw him, Shingon would greet him very cordially.

After several contacts, although Yugao still didn't know what Manga's purpose was, he no longer regarded Manga as an enemy in his subconscious mind. But this time, he couldn't let Manga take away his chakra.

Yugao knew that Manga's strength was unfathomable, and he didn't want to fight with Manga, so he tried to communicate with Manga: "Sorry, I can't give you chakra this time."

"Ah?" Zhenyan was a little confused. Before, Bai Jue only provided Yu Gao's location information and did not explain that Yu Gao had encountered some troubles recently.

During his wandering, Yu Gao met a young apprentice named Ying. At the beginning, Yu Gao did not acknowledge this master-apprentice relationship because he became a traitor because he accidentally killed his master.

Yu Gao, who does not believe in the bond between master and apprentice, has been denying his master-apprentice relationship with Ying. However, Ying was recently captured by the Tsuchigumo clan, who wanted to experiment with forbidden techniques on Ying, and Yu Gao wanted to save her.

Knowing that Yugao wanted to save his chakra to save people, Shinyan thought for a moment and said, "I'll help you save the people. In exchange, how about you and my friend have a sparring match?"

Yugao: “???”

"That's settled then." Zhenyan didn't give Yugao a chance to refuse and turned around and went to the nearby Tsuchigumo clan.

During this trip, Zhenyan quickly brought Ying back intact, except for some time spent "reasoning" with the Tsuchigumo tribe.

Yugao: “…………”

Yu Gao's mood was indescribably complicated. He looked at Zhenyan and said only three words after a long while: "Thank you..."

As a condition of exchange, Yugao finally had a sparring match with Konan.

Yu Gao's best attack method is bubbles. Countless bubbles are blown out from the bamboo tube in his mouth, scattered around, and will explode as long as they are touched.

Konan has a superb paper-controlling skill. Not only can she turn herself into a paper man to be immune to enemy attacks, she can also turn paper into weapons such as shurikens to attack the enemy.

As the two fought, bubbles and pieces of paper flew everywhere, and the sounds of explosions and flipping papers echoed in unison, the scene was dazzling and lively as if it were Chinese New Year.

Zhenyan was watching the fight from the side. Ying looked at Zhenyan and asked curiously, "Are you friends of Master?"

Zhenyan thought about it for a moment, nodded and said, "I think so."

"Then how did you get to know the master?" Ying asked again.

"Xiao Liu in your master's body owed us something, so we came to collect the debt. After a while, we got to know each other." Zhenyan explained.

"So that's how it is..." Ying nodded, not quite understanding.

On the other side, Yugao and Konan were evenly matched, and it was difficult to tell who would win. Shingon felt that the gorgeous fight between the two was enough to provide a lot of material for a comic, so when the two were in a stalemate, he stepped forward to stop the fight.

Just like the previous times, Shingon took away the chakra of the Vulpix. The only difference was that this time Shingon did not leave the Flying Thunder God Seal to the Tailed Beast, but to Yugao.

The reason why the truth was left on the tailed beast in the previous times was because he was afraid that the Jinchuriki would discover the Flying Thunder God Mark and erase it, making it difficult for him to track him next time. But it is different with Yugao. As he said before, he and Yugao can be regarded as friends who get to know each other only after fighting.

"Brother Bubble, do you want to join the Xiao organization?" Zhenyan invited before leaving. The Xiao organization specializes in recruiting rebellious ninjas, and he thinks Yugao is quite suitable.

Yu Gao was stunned for a moment, but finally refused because he was used to freedom and didn't want to be bound by anything anymore.

Zhenyan did not force it, and finally waved goodbye to Master Yugao and his apprentice.

On the way back, Xiaonan looked at Zhenyan, hesitating for a long time, and finally couldn't help asking: "Why do you help them?"

Konan felt that Mangon's behavior was very contradictory. The target of the Akatsuki organization was the Tailed Beast, and they only needed to attack the Tailed Beast. However, Mangon first helped the Jinchuriki solve the problem, and then made her have a meaningless competition with the Jinchuriki.

She couldn't understand some of the true words' behavior.

"Hmm?" Shingon was thinking about who Nanabi should work with next. When he heard what Konan said, he was stunned for a moment before he reacted.

"Sister Xiaonan, there is no conflict between collecting debts and being a hero." Zhenyan said.

Looking at the silent Xiaonan, he smiled, and when he spoke again, his tone was somewhat nostalgic: "When I was a child, I dreamed of becoming a hero, the kind who traveled the world with a sword. However, I am different from other heroes. I think that when I do good deeds, I should leave my name behind, so that I can make friends."

Xiaonan didn't respond, but Zhenyan couldn't help but ask curiously, "What is Sister Xiaonan's dream?"

Dream?

Shingon's words reminded Konan of her childhood, when the Land of Rain was a battlefield of a big country, and she was just one of the countless displaced children in the war. At that time, she, Yahiko, and Nagato could only barely survive by relying on stolen food.

They were just relying on instinct to survive, and dreams were not as important to them as a piece of bread. But then Jiraiya appeared and taught them ninjutsu and how to survive in troubled times.

For Konan, the most precious thing Jiraiya brought them was not the skills to survive, but dreams. Yahiko and Nagato had dreams, and they hoped to change the current situation of the Rain Country through their own efforts.

She also has a dream. Her dream is to have a home. Jiraiya, Yahiko and Nagato are her family. Wherever there is family, there is home.

Xiaonan once thought that her dream had come true, but later, Jiraiya left and Yahiko died.

Only Nagato was left by her side, and Nagato continued Yahiko's dream. However, in order to achieve absolute peace, the Akatsuki organization, which was originally established by Yahiko and represented hope, eventually became a tool to achieve his goal...

There was no answer, and Zhenyan did not continue to ask. He began to think about who else in the Akatsuki organization did not participate in the Tailed Beast's debt collection plan.

After thinking for a while, Zhenyan asked, "Sister Xiaonan, does Brother Payne have time recently?"

After saying that, Shingon recalled the last time he met Nagato, and he shook his head again and said, "Forget it, let Nagato have more rest. I'll go ask Itachi."

Xiaonan stared at Zhenyan in a trance. Her sight seemed to penetrate the mask and saw Zhenyan's face with a pure smile.

The Akatsuki organization now accepts all the rebel ninjas, but in Shingen's eyes, they seem to have gotten rid of the complicated identities of rebel ninjas and become just simple brothers and sisters that he cares about.

When Xiaonan realized this, she suddenly found that the Akatsuki organization seemed to have changed from a tool for achieving peace to the Akatsuki organization that was full of hope and could bring people a sense of belonging...

"My dream was to have a home." Xiaonan suddenly said.

Zhenyan was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Then Sister Xiaonan's dream must have come true."

Yes, Xiaonan thought, if it is the current Akatsuki organization.

After returning to the Akatsuki organization, Shingon teamed up with Itachi to go find Nanabi to collect the debt.

However, Itachi did not act immediately. He looked at Shingon with a little confusion.

"What's wrong?" Noticing the abnormality of Itachi, Zhenyan asked.

Itachi was a little confused about Mangon's behavior. If Mangon absorbed the chakra of the tailed beast at the beginning, it was because the Ten-Tails would go crazy, but now Mangon has no shortage of chakra, but he is still collecting debts everywhere.

Itachi wanted to ask the reason, but when he recalled the time when Shingon and Konan came back and they were talking and laughing, he felt it was unnecessary because the answer was already obvious: Shingon was organizing the action for Akatsuki.

Itachi could not judge what the current Akatsuki organization was like, and he could not define whether Mangon was right or wrong, because Mangon could always make the impossible possible, making people want to support all his actions unconditionally.

"Nothing." Itachi followed the footsteps of Shinko, and he said, "Let's go, Shin...temporary worker..."

The Seven-Tails is in Takigakure Village, and the Seven-Tails Jinchuriki's name is Fu. Fu is an optimistic and cheerful girl who likes to make friends. She was asked to pay back debts by Mangon a few times before. After discovering that Mangon had no intention of hurting anyone, Fu had communicated with Mangon.

This time, when Shingon and Itachi came, Fu stopped them outside the village. The reason why Fu was the only one there was because Shingon's previous debt collection was bigger than ever before, and all kinds of true and false rumors appeared in the ninja world, such as:

#The members of the Akatsuki organization who missed home returned to the village and knocked out Mizukage#

#The Akatsuki organization came to attack, and the Raikage smashed down all the trees on the mountain in anger#

#The traitor apprentice took the Akatsuki organization home, and the Tsuchikage fainted on the spot#

In addition, there is also the rumor that Sand Village dispelled before:

#Fengying said that he was not attacked by the Xiao organization, and the two sides were just sparring in a friendly manner#

Putting these three points together, it seems like the Sand Village is under threat...

The Takigakure Village is just a small ninja village. Even the big ninja villages cannot defend against the Akatsuki organization, let alone the small ninja villages. After hearing the rumors outside, Fu took the initiative to go outside the village to fight the enemy in order not to affect her own village.

"Are you here for Nanao as well this time?" Fu asked.

"Yes." Zhenyan said without hiding his intention, "If possible, I hope you can learn from my friend."

Fu glanced at Itachi, then asked Shingon, "Will you attack the village?"

"When did we attack the village?" Zhenyan asked subconsciously.

Fu: “…………”

"But the word outside is that you threatened the Kaze Kage, knocked out the Mizukage, angered the Raikage, and made the Tsuchikage faint..." Fu, who spoke her mind, couldn't help but speak.

"Rumors! They are all rumors!" Zhenyan has been working hard to maintain the image of the Xiao organization. He did not expect that there would be so many rumors outside.

"We were just sparring with the Kazekage in a friendly way, there was no threat at all. As for the Raikage, he did criticize us for not going through the main gate, but we have admitted our mistake and said we will correct it. We will definitely go through the main gate next time. As for the Tsuchikage, the Tsuchikage was dizzy because of his age, it has nothing to do with us. We went there purely to help."

Shingon refuted the rumors one by one. When he talked about the Mizukage, he felt a little guilty because Kisame's Samehada absorbed a lot of chakra. He was afraid that the Mizukage was drained of chakra and fainted. However, Kisame finally returned to the village once, so it should be excusable...

Fu: “…………”

Fu thought that the content of Shingon's rebuttal was even more unbelievable than the rumor itself, but after she and Itachi finished their duel and Shingon took away the Seven-Tails' chakra, the two really did not attack her ninja village, and Shingon even asked her to say hello to the Kage in the village...

Fu looked at the Flying Thunder God mark left by Zhen Yan on her hand, and then looked at the backs of the two people leaving. She was a little shaken. Could it be that those rumors were really false?

Actions always speak louder than words.

Zhenyan changed Fu's opinion through his actions, and he also changed the opinions of comic readers through his actions.

Previously, comic readers imagined him as the leader of the Xiao organization. In order to change the comic readers' views, Zhenyan asked all members of the Xiao organization to call him "temporary worker". This time, the debt collection of the seven tailed beasts was completed, and Zhenyan logged into the comic forum to check the feedback.

Zhenyan only glanced through the comics and confirmed where he appeared. After knowing that the organization members all called him a "temporary worker", he clicked into the comment section with confidence.

[Chief Xiao is really polite]

[A temporary worker who is impolite is not a good leader]

[By being polite, do you mean: threatening the Kazekage, knocking out the Mizukage, angering the Raikage, and stunning the Tsuchikage?]

[Don't talk nonsense, those are just rumors]

[Raikage: How dare you break into our village! Leader: Sorry, sorry, I will definitely give you a heads up next time, but you must remember to open the door for us]

[Hahahahaha, today’s leader’s quote: Rumors are just rumors! We are the messengers of love and justice!]

[He really moved me to tears... The leader is so polite, the Xiao organization must be a peace-loving organization]

[Me too, it’s been a long time since I’ve seen such a just and mission-driven organization]

[Today is also a day to shed tears for the leader and the Akatsuki organization]

[Upstairs, if I hadn’t read the comics, I would have almost believed you!]

[I just finished reading the comics, and I think what the above said is true. The Xiao organization is a harmonious big family]

[I agree. Everyone harmoniously calls the leader a temporary worker!]

[Itachi is still a real temporary worker]

[The leader is a favorite of the group. In order to protect the leader’s identity, everyone calls him a temporary worker.]

[Itachi: This is a real temporary worker, not our leader]

[HAHAHAHAHA]
