A Sense of Déjà Vu from the Mastermind Behind the Scenes
Land of Rain, in the office of a Pawnshop under Akatsuki's control.
"Ginji, boss, is it true that Kakuzu-sama is really..."
The young man leaned against the wall, lowering his voice as he asked.
"Kyoya, don't meddle in things you shouldn't," the man called Ginji said, with a cigarette in his mouth. "The manager sent by the organization will arrive tomorrow. I heard it's that 'Angel'. Kakuzu-sama..."
He paused for a moment, then said, "I don't know much either, you..."
"Bang!" The office door flew in with a loud crash. Kyoya decisively kicked the broken door panel back, but before he could react, a rough hand grabbed his neck.
"You're from Akatsuki, right?" A gloomy man wearing a Rain Hidden Village Forehead Protector on his clothes appeared in front of the desk at some point. His head almost touched the ceiling, and the clothes he wore looked more like tailored curtains than actual garments.
His skin was also dark brown, and he had strange protrusions on his forehead. Even though he was covered by 'clothes', he still looked very strange.
Hanzo's remnants
The identity of the other party flashed through Ginji's mind, but he was not sure. Are these three really human?
They are even more disgusting than the freaks who underwent human body modification in the Sound Ninja Village.
Well, about the same as Kakuzu-sama.
"Dong!" Kyoya tried to resist, but was instantly pressed back to the ground. The monster grabbing him grinned, revealing two rows of dense shark teeth, and said, "Chuan, can I eat him?"
The monster standing in the center glanced at his companion and said, "Control your desires. I don't want to have to kill you too."
Eat... eat him?!
Ginji was terrified, and his body trembled involuntarily. Despite his tough demeanor, he was actually quite timid.
Otherwise, after Kakuzu-sama died, he wouldn't have been found by Akatsuki and immediately knelt down to offer his loyalty.
"You seem very scared," the female monster hugging him from behind said in a gentle voice, her heavy breathing hitting his neck, causing goosebumps to rise all over his body.
"You look quite handsome, the type I like, but..."
"It's the type I like to eat."
"I... I'll talk," Ginji said, pissing his pants under Kyoya's incredulous gaze. With a crying voice, he told everything he knew.
Chuan glanced at Kyoya and said, "You can eat him."
"Crack~"
The next second, Kyoya's neck was broken. The monster tore off his cloak, revealing a muscular body, with only a loincloth covering his vital parts. It picked up Kyoya like embracing a lover, and the corpse began to twist, gradually merging into its skin. After about half a minute, only the clothes covered in undigested excrement remained.
"Ugh~" It made a low sound, and its body swelled up again.
Ginji's face was blank, covered in excrement, but his death did not come. Instead, the female monster behind him let go.
Chuan's voice sounded, "As long as you cooperate with us, you won't be killed. If you perform well in the future, we might consider bestowing such powerful strength upon you..."
Also become a monster? Some impolite thoughts floated in Ginji's head, but he was used to being duplicitous and didn't show anything strange. He was already kneeling on the ground, so he took the opportunity to salute and said, "Thank you very much, sir."
"You two, help him clean up here," Chuan commanded. "Control your desires, otherwise..."
Next, they would gather the others and wait for Akatsuki's 'Angel' to arrive tomorrow.
His gray eyes revealed a strong killing intent. After paying so much and gaining enough power, revenge should begin.
...
[Finally got it]
Lin Ke felt that he was absolutely unlucky. For three consecutive days, he drew dozens of times each day before finally getting Hermit Purple. It was really a bit painful.
He didn't know why, but the probability of Stand Emperor appearing was very high. This thing is really useless in high-end games.
Fortunately, he no longer needed to buy a camera. After using it for a long time, Transformation Jutsu could completely simulate it. With Clone Jutsu, it was easy to recover from a hand being smashed flat.
With Utakata as a power bank, the Stands he drew all had a duration of one hour, which was plenty of time to use.
If the Six Tails wasn't too weak and couldn't provide much Chakra, why would he only use it for an hour? He would directly start with twenty-four hours, it would be so awesome.
First, let's see where Black Zetsu is—
"Pa!"
The photo was spat out.
Good heavens, he's near the Base in the Land of Waves.
Lin Ke recognized at a glance that the aerial view in the photo was of the Redwood Forest next to him. Black Zetsu was indeed following him.
As expected, he had three Akatsuki rings on him. Akatsuki probably wanted to get rid of him.
Negotiations with Akatsuki should be put on the agenda. They couldn't just keep fighting, exposing information for nothing, and making him go to the front line to collect Tailed Beasts. It was exhausting. It would be better to talk.
Konan could be dealt with through Yahiko, and Pain was just as obsessed as Itachi. Just go along with his ideals and praise him.
Obito was even simpler. With Lin Ke's healing abilities, he could subtly hint at the other party's identity and offer to remove the handle on his heart in exchange for cooperation. That wouldn't be a problem.
Cooperation with Black Zetsu could be slowed down a bit. When he was stronger, he could throw out some lines like 'Ōtsutsuki traitors, please come this way, sir,' and stage a fake surrender on the spot, secretly engaging in sabotage, which he was good at.
He was very greedy for the Tailed Beasts. One Six Tails was not enough. It would take years to raise them after plundering, which was disgusting. It would be better to use Akatsuki's intelligence and strength to collectively harvest the Tailed Beasts. He could think about it a few years later.
Sustainable overfishing, that's the way to go.
Thinking about it now, the situation was excellent.
Lin Ke put away the photo and re-released the Clone Jutsu and Transformation Jutsu. The second one would check Uchiha Obito's location.
"Pa!"
The photo popped out, showing a back view on Hokage Rock.
Good fellow, he went to Konoha again? He really treated it like his own home.
But finding Uchiha Obito was meaningless. His Kamui was too useful. One second he was in Konoha, the next he was back in the Mountain Graveyard. Knowing his location was not very useful.
It was only because cameras were cheap now, otherwise Lin Ke wouldn't bother taking pictures of Obito.
The third one glanced at Nagato, a gaunt figure sitting alone in a high tower, gazing at the rain outside, looking quite melancholic.
The fourth one was Konan. This was a bit interesting. She was actually fighting someone, and she was in a bitter struggle. Seeing the two brown-skinned, tall figures below the photo, he knew they were Orochimaru's experiments.
Connecting this with the previous information about Rain Hidden Village ninjas stealing Orochimaru's data and Jugo's flesh...
Interesting.
Could he do something about this?
Lin Ke stroked the photo, a vague plan emerging in his mind.
