Naruto Orochimaru: I must win this time

Chapter 259: The Old, Weak, Sick and Disabled Gathered

Gentle Township, Hero Tomb.

Unlike Orochimaru's comfortable days, the days of the Akatsuki organization, a top ninja group in the Rain Country, were not so easy.

"This is the new member, Shennong, he will replace Orochimaru!"

After hearing Payne's introduction, the people standing on the fingers of the Outer Golem turned their eyes to the old man.

These looks were filled with suspicion, disdain, indifference, and mostly weirdness; not a single one was well-intentioned.

Shennong ignored the reactions of the people present. His face still had a faint smile, and his eyes were kind as if he was looking at a younger generation.

He was originally the leader of the Sky Ninja Village, and owned the Sky Fortress known as the Zero Tail. He also had a group of henchmen under him, and he was ambitious and delusional about unifying the ninja world.

He usually walks around the ninja world as a doctor, and this is just his cover identity.

If the elusive Black Zetsu hadn't discovered him, he would have continued to lurk.

In the end, it was Payne who personally brought him back, and no one knew what happened in the meantime.

"We are in groups of two here, so from now on you will team up with the Buddha!"

As he said this, Payne threw a ring to him and introduced his partner, Buddha.

There are now ten members in the Akatsuki organization. Apart from Kakuzu, Kisame, Hidan, and Deidara who were poached by Orochimaru, many people have joined later.

I don’t know if it was because Orochimaru flapped his butterfly wings a little too hard, but Weituo Tianjiusuke and Daibutsu, who should have died long ago, are still alive.

These two are veterans of Akatsuki and joined the organization when it was first founded.

Later, due to Obito's strong intervention, the two died at his hands.

Although these two people did not have many roles in the original work, they were still quite powerful, and even Obito of that period had to retreat in a life-threatening situation.

The two of them filled the positions of Kisame and Kakuzu, and Hiruko, who joined later, filled the position of Hidan. With the addition of Shennong now, the position vacated by Deidara is also filled.

As for Obito, who had been pretending to be crazy and stupid in the original work, he had to stand to the front of the stage. The ring in his hand was code-named Kong, which was left by Orochimaru.

The ring in Shennong's hand is a green ring, which represents the most energetic person.

It's funny to me that an old man is wearing this ring, which is why everyone looks at him strangely.

How could they know that this old man's muscles were stronger than anyone else present when he fought, and he even mastered palm techniques and the Eight Gates Ninjutsu.

His regeneration skills can even restore the body to youth, so it is not wrong to say that he is full of energy.

"You are all ambitious and purposeful people, but now that you are here, you should be mentally prepared to serve the organization!"

Pain glanced at everyone present. Anyone who looked at him felt an inexplicable sense of oppression. Even Obito had to stand still.

In the ninja world, when it comes to the sense of oppression, no one can compare to Tendo Pain, not even Uchiha Madara.

Although the quality of the members was not as high as in the original work, and even the old, the weak and the disabled were gathered together, the proud Pain did not care much about these. In his opinion, he alone was comparable to everyone present!

"You guys should prepare well first, there will be a big move soon!"

After saying that, Pain was the first to leave, followed closely by Konan.

The current Akatsuki organization has no shortage of missions, and has been tasked with missions almost continuously since its establishment.

After all, an organization needs to operate, and funds are definitely needed. Although there is no money-making expert like Kakuzu, the development of Akatsuki is still orderly.

Perhaps Xiaonan's 600 billion detonating tags will be slightly reduced, but it will not affect her final outcome.

"Are all other countries' missions going to stop?"

Xiaonan, who was walking behind Payne, spoke at the right time. These topics about organizational development were only discussed when she and Payne were alone.

The decisions of these two people are the basis for determining the direction of the organization, and Obito can only offer suggestions in this regard.

"Continue to complete the tasks currently being carried out. You can handle the rest as you wish. Anyway, these officers need to be on standby at all times!"

Pein said in a deep voice, even when he was talking to Konan, his tone remained unchanged.

The Akatsuki organization has gotten on the right track. Previously, in order to develop its power and establish an intelligence organization, it required a lot of money, but now the situation is different.

Some time ago, they received a mission to destroy the material transportation route of the Kingdom of Gold, but they refused it because the price was too low.

Up to now, Akatsuki has completed its initial accumulation, has gathered all its personnel, and it is time to plan for the next stage!

"Are you ready to carry out that plan?"

Konan's voice sounded again. This time, the two of them had arrived at a high-rise building in the Hidden Rain Village. This was also where they usually discussed things.

"No rush, let's see the situation first!"

Pain did not specify what situation he was looking at, whether it was the situation of several cadres within the organization or the situation in the ninja world.

As soon as the words fell, the space in the room began to distort. It seemed that the two had become accustomed to this situation.

Almost at the same time, a pitcher plant emerged from the floor, with a half-black and half-white head mixed in the pitcher plant.

"The personnel have been gathered. When do you plan to start?"

As soon as the masked man arrived, he sat down on the sofa with his legs spread wide, staring quietly at Payne in front of the window.

"Don't you already know that?"

Payne continued to look at the night view outside the window and spoke without turning his head, his tone expressing neither sadness nor joy.

Hearing the other party say this, the masked man did not get angry, nor did he feel embarrassed for asking a question that he already knew the answer for and being exposed.

"I'm just reminding you!"

"Humph! I know what to do, no need for you to ask any more questions!"

The two of them didn't seem to get along well, and the conversation died down in a few words. Pain, who claimed to be a god, would not allow anyone to tell him what to do, let alone bully him.

The last person who was so rude and shameless to him, the grass on his grave is now more than three meters high.

The masked man didn't say anything else, and he didn't dare to push Pein too hard.

"Oh my! We are discussing business, so feel free to speak your mind!"

Zetsu, who noticed that the atmosphere was not right, quickly interrupted and said that on the surface he was more inclined towards the masked man, but he had to listen to the leader Pain.

It can be said that he is sandwiched in the middle and serves as a buffer between the two.

"The Hidden Village in the North has been very active recently, and business exchanges with various countries are very frequent!"

Jue brought up this topic, and his words successfully attracted the attention of several people.

"If it's just business dealings, it's not a big deal, but I heard that they're planning to jointly hold the Chunin Exam with Konoha..."

Xiaonan was the first to speak up, and at the same time raised a question.

The information in the Akatsuki organization comes from Zetsu on the one hand and Konan on the other. Nagato would not trust Zetsu alone to entrust the important source of information.

"It's not just the North. Apart from the Hidden Mist Village, the other three hidden villages are also involved. Should we do something?"

This time it was the masked man who spoke. Naturally, he was speaking to Payne and also intended to hear the other party's thoughts.

"There's no need to take a small Chunin Exam seriously!"

After a pause, Payne continued:

"It's this hidden village in the north..."

"The Seven-Tails Jinchuriki is also on their side!"

Seeing that Payne had not responded yet, Jue couldn't help but mention it again. He hoped that Payne could pay a little more attention to this force.

The other party was able to build up a strong force in a short period of time and unify the surrounding ninja villages and small countries. Judging from his experience, it must be no simple task!

"Jue! Ah Fei! You two go and check out the other party's strengths and weaknesses!"

Seeing that several people were so concerned about this matter, Payne simply asked the two of them to go and check out the situation. With their speed, nothing would be delayed!
