As soon as Payne finished speaking, another person's illusion emerged in the cave.

No matter how you put it, the actions of the Akatsuki organization have always been conducted in teams of two.

On the one hand, it can avoid arbitrary career changes.

Because each member of the Akatsuki organization is very powerful, it is inevitable to be conceited.

But in Payne's view, this kind of arrogance is often a ninja's biggest weakness.

When two people act together, the advice of teammates can effectively overcome this weakness.

On the other hand, two people assisting each other can not only increase the success rate of the task.

They can also supervise each other to prevent anyone from leaking the secrets of the Akatsuki organization.

Especially Weasel.

Although he was a member personally recruited by "Uchiha Madara", Payne never fully trusted this rebellious ninja from Konoha.

And the illusion that he used to use the magic lantern body to manifest here was none other than someone else.

He is also the man recommended by "Uchiha Madara".

Dried persimmon and ghost intercourse.

As he appeared, Itachi, Deidara, and the Red Sand Scorpion focused their attention on him.

"Are there any new members joining?" The Red Sand Scorpion half-squinted his eyes.

Although the magic lantern body technique manifests only an illusion and the face of the visitor cannot be seen clearly, the Crimson Sand Scorpion can sense a unique aura just from the ghost's eyes.

"This new member's name is Mikigakaki Kiyo, and he is an S-class defector ninja from Kirigakure Village."

"He is a ninja who is good at using water escape ninjutsu."

While introducing the newly added Gansaki Oniyo, Pain looked at Itachi.

After all, Itachi is the only one with no companions to act with.

And considering the whereabouts of Sanwei.

Pain also felt that Gui Jiao was a very suitable candidate for capturing the three-tailed beast.

"Itachi, let's team up with Oniko and go capture the Three-Tails together."

"Yeah." Itachi nodded, indicating that he knew.

And Ganshi Guijiao didn't say any unnecessary words.

As for saying hello and so on, it would be too late to wait until he and Itachi officially meet.

After completing the new tasks.

Payne brought up the war again.

Today, the Akatsuki organization has not launched a terrorist attack on the five major ninja villages in order to capture the tailed beasts.

The outside world's impression of them is still that of a special organization specialized in taking on war missions.

In addition, the country's national power is weak.

The daimyo and the elders of Yunyin Village were unwilling to surrender directly.

After much thought, they got in touch with the Akatsuki organization.

It is hoped that the Akatsuki organization can provide them with war protection.

Although Pain doesn't want to participate in the war between Konoha and Kumogakure.

But after much thought, he finally told the matter.

I'd like to hear everyone's suggestions.

Should they send ninjas to assist the Kingdom of Thunder in fighting?

It has to be said that as soon as Payne said this news, Uchiha Itachi and others were all trembling.

Especially Weasel.

While he was still in the village, he realized that Hefeng was a very ambitious person.

Even in order to gain power, he did not hesitate to use the magic of Sharingan to control the daimyo of the Land of Fire.

But even so, he still didn't expect that Zephyr would take the initiative to declare war on the Kingdom of Thunder.

"Konoha declared war on the Land of Thunder?"

Deidara blinked hard, wondering if he was hallucinating something.

However, as one of the five major ninja countries in the ninja world, the Kingdom of Thunder has a martial custom among its people.

The comprehensive national strength is one of the five major countries, but it does not mean that it is ranked fifth.

Even if Konoha declares war on them, they should still be able to stop Konoha's ambitions.

However, they now want to hire the Akatsuki organization.

This really surprised Deidara.

"It's not just that." Payne shook his head, "According to the information I have, the Country of Thunder also wants Kusakure Village, Takigakure Village, Iwagakure Village, Kirigakure Village..."

"Almost wherever there are ninjas, the Daimyos of the Land of Thunder have issued commissions."

At this moment, Hei Jue, who had remained silent, couldn't help but speak.

I further explained the situation to everyone.

"Before Konoha officially declared war on the Kingdom of Thunder, a fight broke out between Naruto and Kazuki and Kirabi Raikage."

"As a result, the Raikage died suddenly, and the Jonin troops in Kumogakure Village also suffered heavy losses."

"With the current combat power of Kumogakure, once there is a formal confrontation with Konoha, I am afraid that the country will fall."

"It is precisely because of this that the Daimyo of the Kingdom of Thunder issued a commission to all ninja villages."

Hei Jue paused and continued.

"Since the advent of the ninja era, the five major ninja villages have stood in opposition to each other, and the situation of checks and balances has never been broken."

"But now, the Kingdom of Thunder might be the first big country to be destroyed."

"You should know what this means."

"It doesn't just mean that Hokage and Kaze have terrible ambitions."

"It also means that once he captures the Kingdom of Thunder, he will further strengthen Konoha."

"And then cannibalize the entire ninja world."

In fact, the information on this aspect was collected by Black Zetsu relying on White Zetsu's huge intelligence network.

Although he and Pain are both members of the Akatsuki organization, their ultimate goals are very different.

And the growing power of Ze Feng caused a strong uneasiness in Hei Jue's heart.

He hoped that the Akatsuki organization could accept the employment of the Daimyo of the Kingdom of Thunder.

Work together with the ninjas from other ninja villages to repel Konoha.

If it can severely damage Konoha's ninja troops, that would be the best thing.

But Payne knew it very well.

This time is different from the previous war missions.

In the past war missions, he only needed to send two people and they could be completed brilliantly.

Especially the Red Sand Scorpion, who once wiped out a country by himself.

But this time it's different.

This time the opponent is Konoha led by Zephyr.

If you really accept the offer.

Just sending two people is not enough.

So Payne wants to hear everyone's opinions.

"Let's wait until we catch the tail before we discuss this matter."

The Crimson Sand Scorpion thought for a moment and decided to finish the first one first.

After all, it took him seven or eight days just to get to Sand Hidden Village.

Now because of Payne's words, all his previous efforts have to be undone.

Just let the duck fly away when it reaches your mouth?

The Red Sand Scorpion naturally disagreed.

but……

The exchange between Payne and Hei Jue also caused waves in his heart.
