Chapter 128 Interlude
Chapter 128 Interlude
Enraged, Kakuzu quietly made his decision.
It is foreseeable that in the near future, Kakuzu will be uttering some very vulgar words.
However, Obito didn't care about these things.
After all, the mastermind is like this, while the laborers below just need to work themselves to the bone to make money, but he has a lot more to consider.
“Sure!” Obito replied, “I’ll transfer your money to you tonight.”
"Let me make this clear from the start: if you join Akatsuki, you have to work for Akatsuki! You wouldn't want to know what happens to a traitor!"
Obito spoke with a heavy sense of threat.
"Yes, yes! I understand!" Qianyu nodded seriously on the surface.
But in her heart, she curled her lip in disdain. Obito's words made it sound like everyone knew that Orochimaru had been living a carefree life for so many years after leaving Akatsuki.
Of course, despite her disdain, Qianyu patted her recently grown-up chest, assuring her for the sake of money, "Don't worry, you get what you pay for. Even if you don't trust me as a person, you have to trust your money! I'm a trustworthy person!"
"That's good!" Obito was very satisfied with Chiba's statement.
Some things are very expensive, but being expensive isn't a flaw; it's a flaw in you.
Being able to recruit Chiyu into Akatsuki with money was truly the most cost-effective deal Obito had ever made since his debut.
"That's settled then!" Obito looked into the distance. Although he had secretly interfered, during the time they had been talking, Yagura's ANBU had already reached a dangerous position.
"I'm leaving. Your Akatsuki robe and ring will be delivered to you by White Zetsu. By the way, officially, you'll have to go through an assessment to join Akatsuki. That shouldn't be a problem, right?"
"No!" Qianyu shook her head.
"Very good!" Obito nodded slightly, his body slowly merging into the ground as he departed with satisfaction.
At this moment, the Mist Ninja army, which had been traveling for countless chapters, finally arrived.
Yagura, dressed in the attire of a water shadow, and his direct subordinates instantly surrounded Chiba.
Looking at the ruins where only Chiyu remained, Tengu, an Anbu member of the Mist Ninja whom he had met once before, shouted to the surrounding Anbu members, "Everything is just as the Mizukage predicted. The enemy noticed our arrival and ran away."
"However, we deliberately arrived late in order to set up a trap around the area."
"On my orders, teams one, two, and three, spread out and search! Don't let a single fly escape!"
"Yes!" Upon hearing Tengu's command, the numerous Mist Ninja Anbu who had just appeared vanished in an instant, and the noisy scene returned to silence.
Clearly, the so-called "net of heaven and earth" was a tactic Obito used to delay the arrival of the people from the Mist Ninja.
Seeing his subordinate leave, the faint red light in Yagura's eyes dissipated, and he slowly approached Chiyu, asking, "Shiro, what happened here..."
“That’s how it is…” Chiyu replied in a formulaic manner.
Between the questions and answers, the deep darkness slowly ended, and the sun, piercing through the mist, rose from the sky.
Whether it was due to the great battle last night or just the right weather, Kirigakure was blessed with a rare sunny day.
The warm morning sun shone down, bringing a rare warmth to those immersed in the blood mist.
Unfortunately, at this moment, despite being bathed in warm sunlight, Mei Terumi could only feel waves of coldness and dizziness throughout her body, and her once firm and unyielding figure began to stagger.
"Miss Mei!" Looking at Mei Terumi like this, Chojuro uttered a muffled voice of concern, and even tried to reach out to help her up.
Fortunately, before Chojuro could embrace her, Mei Terumi managed to straighten up and brush away his hand, saying, "I'm fine! I just... can't accept it!"
Looking at Ao beside her, Mei Terumi bit her lower lip hard and clenched her fists as she asked, "Ao, say that again?"
Qing sighed helplessly: "Miss Ming, it's the same no matter how many times you say it!"
"Although the road to the scene was blocked by the Mizukage's ANBU, my eyes still managed to spot the person fighting 'Haku'!"
"And the color of that person's chakra is exactly the same as the one that resides in the Mizukage's brain!"
"Therefore, I can confirm that the chakra in the Mizukage's brain is not the alien chakra we previously speculated about, but rather a genjutsu!"
"In other words, our Fourth Hokage of Kirigakure has indeed been living within a genjutsu from the past to the present!"
Ao laughed bitterly and sarcastically: "Hahaha, I really never expected that the Mizukage, the strongest person in Kirigakure, one of the five great ninja villages, would be controlled by genjutsu until now!"
"This is really..."
"shame!"
Mei Terumi's heavy punch to a nearby tree interrupted Ao's reflections.
At this moment, the usually mature and alluring beauty resembled an angry tigress, her long, flowing waves moving without any wind!
She glared fiercely at Chojuro and Ao beside her, emphasizing, "This is a disgrace, a shameful disgrace that our Hidden Mist Village must wash away!"
Mei Terumi gritted her teeth: "No matter who that person is, no matter how powerful they are, I will definitely melt their bones in the acid mist!"
As she spoke, a murderous aura, even denser than the perpetual fog of Kirigakure, emanated from Mei Terumi's body, which was clad only in a thin nightgown, her exquisite features barely visible.
Such murderous intent is enough to calm down anyone who is captivated by Mei Terumi's beautiful body.
"!" Upon seeing Terumi Mei like this, Chojuro and Ao fell silent, not daring to speak.
Although Mei Terumi is usually easy to talk to, it is honest people who are most terrifying when they get angry. Although Mei Terumi is not like that, the principle is similar.
Fortunately, after being angry for quite some time, Mei Terumi, although her chest was still heaving violently, had calmed down compared to before.
"Let's go!" Mei Terumi strode forward.
Chojuro hurriedly followed and asked, "Miss Mei, where are we going?"
At the same time, Qing, who thought Terumi Mei was about to act impulsively, spoke up to persuade her: "Calm down, Mei, we can't act rashly now!"
"I know!" Mei Terumi's pretty face was as cold as ice. "Let's go back and rest for a while. I will think carefully about our next move!"
"That's good!" Mei Terumi's two generals breathed a sigh of relief.
The group returned to their base to rest before the big battle.
Meanwhile, Chiba was also sleeping like a baby in the brand-new mansion that Yagura had assigned her.
However, on the eve of this storm, Kirigakure, which had just been hit by a wave of attacks, was not peaceful.
As everyone knows, when the eldest and second eldest brothers fight, it's usually the third eldest brother who dies.
Coincidentally, during the battle between Chiba and Obito, there was an unlucky guy hiding nearby.
And coincidentally, in order to give Obito time to leave, Yagura chose to have the Anbu seal off the area first, and then clear it out!
So, as the unlucky guy, Zabuza was successfully surrounded by the Kirigakure Anbu.
