Kirigakure Assassination Mission!

"I have an important task for you. Go to Kirigakure to assassinate one of the new Seven Ninja Swordsmen of The Mist, Hozuki Mangetsu, and then point the murderer to Kumogakure."

When Pain spoke, all the members were quite surprised.

Killing Hozuki Mangetsu was not difficult for them, but the difficult thing was to kill in Kirigakure and then frame Kumogakure.

The matter of Obito using Sharingan to control Mizukage Yagura, no one knew yet, and even Pain was not clear.

Therefore, this meant that once they were exposed, they would be hunted down by Mizukage.

This mission was not easy to accomplish.

However, Aoba suddenly became interested. This was because his mission of 'Seven Ninja Swordsmen of The Mist' had not progressed for a long time. If he went to kill Hozuki Mangetsu this time, he could at least get Hiramekakei.

Moreover, there would be other members of Akatsuki who could help him share a large amount of firepower.

He was afraid that he would run into Mizukage Yagura.

It was almost impossible for Obito to control Yagura to show mercy.

Because he suddenly remembered that in the original work, Biwa Juzou seemed to have been killed by the crazy Yagura when he went to Kirigakure for a mission.

Thinking of this, he suddenly asked, "I want to know why you want to frame Kumogakure after killing him?"

Pain glanced at him and did not hide anything. "This is the mission that Land of Earth issued to our Akatsuki through the underground trade center."

Aoba immediately understood!

Land of Earth, Iwagakure, and the big-nosed Onoki!

The hatred between Iwagakure and Kumogakure was more than that of the common enemy, Konoha. If there was a chance to make things difficult for Iwagakure, then Tsuchikage would definitely be willing.

Now that Iwagakure and Konoha had signed a peace agreement, the war was completely over.

With the little old man's two-faced nature, he was unwilling to see Kumogakure recuperate smoothly.

However, it was inconvenient for Iwagakure to act on his own, so it was only natural for him to adopt this kind of 'hire' method.

It seemed that in the original work, Onoki had done this many times and cooperated with Akatsuki.

Looking at it, everything made sense.

He wanted to use Akatsuki to provoke the conflict between Kirigakure and Kumogakure again!

As for the effect, of course, he would do it first. Anyway, it was just a matter of spending a billion yuan.

And the reason why Nagato accepted this mission was probably because setting up a war was more in line with their 'philosophy', and they could continue to fish in troubled waters.

Therefore, Aoba, who had made up his mind, decided to take part in this matter. After all, how could he not take a look at the matter of finding trouble for an 'old friend' like Kumogakure? If others did not do well, he could also remedy it.

In terms of framing Kumogakure, he was a professional!

There should be no one here who understood Kumogakure's style better than him.

Therefore, he pretended to ponder for a moment and said, "I was in seclusion some time ago, and I happened to catch up this time. Then, count me in for this mission."

Pain glanced at him again. It was likely that Nagato, who was far away in Amegakure, was also very surprised.

However, it was a good thing that some members were willing to take the initiative to make a move, and even the words that filled his stomach vanished.

After all, Akatsuki had yet to gather all his men. Some time ago, in order to kill Danzo, he had even lost a member.

As a result, the two rings, 'Green' and 'Purple', still had no owner.

Even if he was unhappy that this guy disappeared for several months, there was nothing he could do. It was better to have something than nothing. Moreover, according to Konan, who had completed the mission last time, this guy was indeed very strong. In fact, he was much more reliable than Biwa Juzou.

Thinking of this, Nagato felt much better.

Moreover, with Aoba taking the initiative, Biwa Juzou, who had been staring at him, immediately signed up.

"I also want to participate in this mission! I am familiar with Kirigakure. With me, the 'spy', leading the way, we can successfully complete the mission!"

Biwa Juzou seemed to know that without Kubikiribocho, his strength had dropped sharply, but he also had the advantage that belonged to him.

As one of the original Seven Ninja Swordsmen of The Mist, he was definitely not more familiar with the environment than Kirigakure.

In order to take back Kubikiribocho from Aoba, he also gave it his all. He didn't even care about his face and directly laughed at himself as a 'spy'.

Pain didn't have any objections to this, because he had originally planned to let Biwa Juzou join in, but now Biwa Juzou's combat strength was indeed very worrying.

Should he let Yasuo hand over Kubikiribocho, or send someone to carry out this mission together?

Nagato thought for a moment, and finally controlled Pain to turn around and say, "Kakuzu, you go too. After you complete the task, I will send you a position. When the time comes, you will go to inspect the newcomers together. If you pass, let the other party be your new partner. If you can't, wait for me to find a new candidate."

The task to deal with Danzo last time was almost messed up by him, so this time Kakuzu did not have any objections, so he nodded and agreed.

As for the new partner, he was still very disdainful. He felt that those who were qualified to be his partner had to be ready to be killed by him at any time!

Otherwise, they were all trash!

Seeing that Hiruko had been created, Sasori, who had hidden himself, and Orochimaru, who looked at Pain from time to time with a greedy look, did not say anything.

Their combination now was not just a problem of not being able to get together. Recently, Sasori had been studying how to make 'work' every puppet, and Orochimaru was also doing human research in his secret base, and also had the idea of building a Ninja Village.

Therefore, unless Pain forcibly assigned the task to them, neither of them would take the initiative to ask to do the task.

Because of this, Pain was already very dissatisfied in his heart.

Sasori did not have much of a problem, because he was strengthening his own strength. Every new puppet meant an increase in his combat strength, which was understandable.

However, Orochimaru really did not integrate himself into the organization, especially when he saw the look in this guy's eyes.

This was a poisonous snake that could bite back at its master at any time!

The reason why he was hiding now was probably because he did not have the confidence to show his fangs.

Nagato already knew this, but he still dared to use Orochimaru to do things for him, because in the end, strength was the confidence of a ninja!

Nagato was confident enough to easily break Orochimaru's fangs!

However, this guy was indeed a restless factor. He had to be wary of this guy betraying the organization early on.

After explaining the specific details of the mission, Nagato directly ended the secret meeting.

Whether it was the previous 'Akatsuki' or the 'Akatsuki' who was now on the other path of thorns, it was very difficult to develop.

But Nagato was confident that if he and Konan were given a few more years, Akatsuki would definitely rise to the top of Ninja World and become an existence that everyone would be terrified of!
