Hearing this, Scorpion responded expressionlessly: "Your understanding and taste of art are quite excellent, but I will not betray the organization."

Fang Yan raised his eyebrows: "My understanding of Akatsuki is deeper than you think!"

"The Akatsuki, which originated from Amegakure, means the morning light that illuminates the dark world. Your true purpose is to change the world of ninjas and establish a peaceful environment without war."

“To achieve this, we must destroy the existing one country, one village system and undermine the old structure.”

“This goal does not conflict with my will.”

"One day, I will make the entire Akatsuki organization submit to me! And you are just joining in advance."

Scorpion of the Red Sand, who had already highly recognized Fang Yan's artistic qualities, had actually already been shaken.

Hearing this, Scorpion groaned for a long time, his eyes finally became firm, and he responded seriously: "The music you created with illusions proves your status as a top artist - I can hear the loneliness deep in your heart."

"Fang Yan, I am convinced that I was defeated by someone like you!"

"If there's anything you need from me, just ask. I won't refuse."

Mission is valuable, loyalty is more valuable, but for the sake of art, both can be abandoned!

Fang Yan smiled brightly: "Very good! I will immediately arrange for my subordinates to provide you with the materials for making the puppet."

"Your appearance and features are somewhat similar to those of my student Gaara. Since you are both from Sunagakure, you may have the same ancestor."

"Gaara is a good painter. If you have time, spend more time with him~"

The Red Sand Scorpion wanted to nod, but found that he only had a head left, so he agreed: "Okay."

A painter taught by such an outstanding musician as Fang Yan should have some common topics with himself.

I just wonder if this little Jinchūriki who is obsessed with painting next to him can appreciate the charm of [Immortal Art]?

When Scorpion was a child, his parents were killed by the enemy. Having been in an insecure environment for a long time, he came up with the radical idea of ​​making people into puppets.

——This idea did not come from cruelty or cold-bloodedness, but because he did not want to see life passing away again.

Scorpio is not a person who has abandoned humanity and kindness, but an artist with extremely high value and creativity.

"Orochimaru is not talking nonsense. Zero really possesses the Rinnegan! Besides..."

Seeing Fang Yan turning away, Scorpion of the Red Sand reminded, "Akatsuki will send experts here in the near future to try to capture the One-Tail and Nine-Tail Jinchūriki. At the same time, you will be regarded as a secondary target of the hunt."

"Be careful!"

What Fang Yan said just now was right - Payne's goal is to breed peace that everyone cherishes in the cycle of pain! Hearing this, Fang Yan was slightly surprised, blinked, and exclaimed: "This is quite valuable information~"

He knew more information about Nagato and Six Paths of Pain than the official members of Akatsuki.

However, the fact that "Akatsuki will send experts to the Wind Country in the near future" is important information that Fang Yan's intelligence network has not obtained.

It seems that their [Tailed Beast Capture Plan] was stimulated by the Fourth Ninja World War and was launched ahead of schedule.

"Every day that you don't dance is a day that you waste your life."

At this point, Fang Yan grinned, "Rather, I'm looking forward to their arrival - hahahaha! Dancing with truly strong people will surely make me happy and enjoyable!"

Afterwards, he threw the task of capturing Rasa to Gaara.

And that’s not all…

——That’s right! In addition to being a member of the Akatsuki organization, Scorpion is also Chiyo’s [long-lost grandson]! This blood relationship and family affection can be fully utilized.

As long as he could improve the living conditions of the residents of the Land of Wind after ruling the Sand Village, and with Scorpion's help, it would only be a matter of time before Chiyo would agree to use the forbidden resurrection technique of [Kisei Reincarnation].

The dark history of Scorpion of the Red Sand assassinating the Third Kazekage?

Pfft~ Why bring up such an old story! -- As long as Chiyo believes that Scorpion's interests will be tied to Sunagakure and that the Wind Country will become better and better, any sin can be forgiven!

After issuing all the tasks related to the prisoners, Fang Yan walked out of the prison tent, returned to the camp, and met the exhausted female ninja.

"Konoha Jonin Yuhi Kurenai, I pay my respects!"

The heroic female jonin, with her jet-black hair draped over her shoulders and slightly curled ends, and her crimson eyes, gave her a unique charm. "For the next period of time, I will serve under the command of the commander-in-chief!"

Fang Yan said with a smile: "Time flies so fast..."

"That cute little girl has grown into a beautiful and powerful heroine in just a blink of an eye!"

The Yuhi family survives by practicing illusion. Apart from the bloodline family, it is the family that preserves the most complete and sound theory and practice of illusion. It is much more powerful than the declining Kurama family.

Magic·Tree Binding Kill, Illusion·Three Absolute Cherry Blossoms, Illusion·Absolute Lotus Flower...

Illusion: Naraku Clone, Falling Sakura Nami Technique...

Before Fang Yan became Shimura Danzo's apprentice, it was the young Yuhi Kurenai who provided him with these illusion materials free of charge, which maintained his efficient growth.

The two of them were childhood sweethearts, and their relationship was extraordinary! Therefore, when she worked under Fang Yan, she would naturally receive special treatment.

Yuhi Kurenai was thin-skinned, and after being praised, she was a little shy, her cheeks flushed: "As a female ninja, compared to Lady Tsunade, I am still far behind!"

Fang Yan smiled gently, his expression calm: "Thinking alone will lead to stagnation and inability to make progress; acting alone will lead to difficulties and inability to achieve success - if you have any questions about illusions, you can come to Satomi Yau Villa to find me at any time."

"You should know that I won't keep secrets from you."

Yuhi Kurenai's ears were burning, and her eyes were drawn: "Okay! After this Ninja World War is over, I will live in Satomi Hill Villa!"

"I take what you said seriously, don't regret it!"

That night.

Fang Yan formed forty-five hand seals and activated the [Complex Secret Technique for Strategic Reconnaissance: Ultimate Ultraman's Eye]! Swish! A huge amount of chakra merged into the night wind, gradually blending at an altitude of ten thousand meters, and gradually condensed into a huge eyeball.

Three days later, in the middle of the night, it helped Fang Yan see...

Seventy kilometers away, above the silent desert hills, the bright full moon emitted a cold and evil light.

The moonlight is not bright, but rather seems a bit cruel.

The purple-haired young woman in a black robe with red clouds and a paper flower on her head said, "A Fei, go and catch Fang Yan!"

Others might think that Afei is just a funny candidate member of Akatsuki, but Konan knows that this guy secretly influences many of Nagato's decisions.

Hearing this, Uchiha Obito, who was taking over the identity of "Afei", was stunned.

"Ah?" Obito scratched his head, pointed at his swirling mask, and said in surprise: "I beat Fang Yan? Is this true?!"
