Target - Mizukage's Soul

In fact, the mission to kill Mizukage was the result of Obito's communication with Nagato.

Because not long ago, Terumi Mei, who had sneaked into Kirigakure and wanted to gather all his strength to kill Yagura, unexpectedly found that Yagura had traces of being controlled.

Therefore, she let Ao make a move, and with the help of Byakugan to remove the Genjutsu on Mizukage's body, Obito's control over Yagura was removed.

Then the truth was revealed, and he learned the whole story from Yagura, and Yagura also knew what he had done during the period of time when Akatsuki was under control.

This caused Yagura, who had woken up, to be in great pain. He even thought of committing suicide to atone for his sins.

However, they were all stopped by Kirigakure's Council of Elders.

Previously, they had no choice but to take the risk and want Terumi Mei to replace Yagura.

But now that they knew the reason behind Akatsuki's actions, Terumi Mei was naturally no longer the first choice.

After all, before setting off the riot, Yagura's Mizukage had done very well, making people extremely convinced.

In addition, Yagura was still three-tailed Jinchuriki. For Kirigakure who was in turmoil at this time, it was an indispensable force.

Therefore, many people were willing to believe in Yagura again.

Even if Yagura was unwilling to be Mizukage because of guilt, at least when Terumi Mei grew up, he would make up for all the mistakes he made, instead of leaving behind a mess.

Terumi Mei also knew that even if she was promoted now, she would not be able to control the power, and it would be even more difficult to convince the public, so she agreed.

In the end, Yagura had to agree to this condition. First, he had to clean up the mess he left behind and pave the way for the next Mizukage. Then, he would remove Mizukage's position and continue to atone for his sins with Jinchuriki's identity.

And Obito had already sensed it after Yagura broke free from his control. Then, he went to investigate and found out everything about Akatsuki.

Obviously, Yagura, who had learned a lot from the fall, would definitely not give him another chance.

Then he could only get rid of it!

To the greatest extent, he would cause Kirigakure to fall into chaos in order to avoid adding more variables to his plans in the future.

Even to the extent that in order to prevent the other villages from noticing that there were people secretly searching for Bijuu and buying more time for Akatsuki's development, Obito even resisted the temptation to activate the great plan ahead of time.

Only kill Jinchuriki, not Bijuu!

In any case, it didn't matter if Jinchuriki died. It wouldn't be long before Bijuu would automatically revive somewhere, and sooner or later, he would be in his possession.

Therefore, accumulating strength at this moment was the most important thing.

Obviously, Obito, who didn't tell the truth, still convinced Nagato, and then there was this secret meeting.

Among Akatsuki's members, there were still a few who remained calm.

For example, Aoba, who was not very interested in killing Mizukage, and Kisame, who had just betrayed Kirigakure a while ago, was also the one who knew the most about Akatsuki and Yagura's terrifying strength.

It must be known that when he killed Suikazan Fuguki, and after Mizukage Yagura appeared in front of him, Kisame did not feel that there was any possibility of him escaping.

In the original work, Biwa Juzou was not a match for Yagura at all, and even Itachi was in danger.

It could be seen how strong this Fourth Mizukage was!

In addition, he did not understand the strength of the others, so Kisame was not very optimistic about this operation, but after thinking about it, he would definitely not take the initiative to speak out.

After the flight section quieted down, Pain looked around everyone, and then said in a low voice, This mission must be done in one hit, and there must be no loss. Kakuzu, Hidan, Deidara, Kisame, and Yasuo, this mission will be handed over to the few of you.

It was very unsafe to only send a group of people. Moreover, Hidan, Deidara, and Kisame were newcomers, so they could use this mission to observe their strength.

Moreover, Kisame was the most familiar with Kirigakure's environment. After completing the mission, Deidara could also bring people to evacuate from the sky.

Hidan and Kakuzu were the main forces. With the ability of Hidan, there were almost no people he could kill. As long as he was given a chance.

As for Yasuo, Nagato wanted to see how many hidden abilities this guy had, and on the other hand, he wanted to add a layer of insurance to this mission.

Although Hidan and Deidara were talents that he thought highly of, they were still young and impulsive. Only Kakuzu alone would be difficult to suppress.

On this point, Yasuo, who had put a lot of pressure on Hidan and Deidara, was undoubtedly the most suitable candidate. He could suppress the situation, and he could also turn the tide at the critical moment, so as to avoid the shortage of manpower that had been painstakingly gathered.

From this, it could be seen that Nagato attached great importance to this mission, and the arrangement was very reasonable. He considered the specific ability of each person, even the division of labor and positioning.

As for 'Madara', he had hinted that it was best not to let Yasuo and Kisame carry out the mission together, but he had magnificently ignored him.

It was not that he did not know that Yasuo was collecting Kirigakure's seven ninja swords, and Samehada in Kisame's hand was Yasuo's goal.

However, if it did not affect the mission, he would be too lazy to care about this kind of thing.

He could not even defend his own weapon. This kind of person was not the person that Akatsuki wanted.

And those trash who lost their weapons and lost their strength would die in the mission sooner or later, just like the previous Biwa Juzou.

The last reason was that Yasuo and Kisame were recommended by 'Madara'. As the leader of Akatsuki, Nagato naturally did not want these two to be together. He would rather fight to the death than see this scene!

Everyone had no objections to Pain's arrangements, and even Aoba, who did not want to get involved in this mess, was the same.

At least for now, he did not want to shed all pretense of cordiality with Nagato, so he treated it as a vacation.

In any case, he felt that Yagura was dead for sure this time.

In addition, the things he coveted were different from others. If Sasori, Orochimaru, and Kakuzu wanted Yagura's body, then what he wanted was Yagura's soul.

Don't forget, his [Frozen Throne] was very scarce in this Mizukage's soul.

He didn't even have a few souls in his hands. Now that he had the chance to collect Mizukage's soul, he didn't have to take too many risks and put in a lot of effort. There was definitely no reason to refuse!

The premise that he was not very interested in before was based on the fact that he was not willing to fight to the death. Now that the personnel had been determined, there was naturally no such concern.

Because no one raised any objections, Nagato was very satisfied. After confirming the specific time and place of meeting, this secret meeting ended.

After removing his thought form, Aoba also removed [Crimson Swordsman]'s skin and began to prepare for this great battle.

He had killed a lot of Jonin, but this was the first time he faced Kage Level's battle!

He thought that he would have to make more preparations even if he didn't flip the cart.

Fortunately, he didn't need to risk his life this time, otherwise he would have to find an excuse to refuse no matter what.
