Obito was not a fool.
With such a significant gap in information, he certainly wouldn't continue to take action against Kuzo. After all, from the surface, Kuzo could almost be regarded as an indispensable and powerful fighting force within the Akatsuki organization. He might still play a crucial role in the upcoming tailed beast capture plans.
So, after listening to Konan's report, Obito decided to set aside his doubts and prejudices for the time being. He would focus on his larger plans instead.
After some discussion between Payne and Konan, they agreed to follow Obito's orders and continue with their previous recruitment plan, expanding the Akatsuki organization in preparation for the official launch of the Tailed Beast Project.

Time passed quickly. Months slipped by unnoticed.
In that time, two new members were added to Akatsuki.
The first, named Fujii, was from a small country. Although he was tall and imposing, his face bore the features of a middle-aged man. The second addition was Juzo, a defector from the Hidden Mist Village, Kirigakure. He was one of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen who had left the village due to dissatisfaction with its tyranny and joined Akatsuki.
Objectively speaking, neither of these new recruits had the strength of a Kage-level ninja. They joined Akatsuki mainly because of the organization's need for manpower. After all, relying solely on Kakuzu to fund the organization wouldn't be sustainable.
Both were brought in to handle various mercenary or war missions and earn money for Akatsuki.
However, Kuzo, who knew the direction of the plot, understood that these two would not last long before they met their end, to be replaced by others. So, he didn't make an effort to get involved with them.
"Anyway," Kuzo mused, "now that Juzo has joined, Uchiha Itachi should be coming soon too..."
He recalled the original story, where Itachi's first partner in Akatsuki was the man with the decapitator sword. Since Juzo had already joined a month ago, it wouldn't be long before Itachi made his entrance.
Kuzo thought about this while walking down the streets of Rain Shinobi Village.
The reason he thought about it wasn't simply because he wanted to meet Uchiha Itachi—after all, he wasn't particularly interested in swordsmanship—but because just the night before, a brand new main mission had appeared in the system:
**Uchiha: Night of Genocide!**
That's right, it wasn't just a "branch line" task related to daily life. It was a **mainline** mission, the same as the one he had received when he joined any organization. Mainline tasks appointed by the system were much more significant than branch tasks, and completing them would reward him handsomely.
Kuzo remembered how he had received the "Shinigami's Hollow Power" when he joined Akatsuki. Such rewards were always substantial. Naturally, he wouldn't miss out on this mission.
He found himself eagerly awaiting the system's notifications every day.
"System, open the panel."
"Ding."
A crisp sound signaled the interface of the system appearing before his eyes.

Kuzo looked over the system interface, a large list of tasks laid out before him. His face brightened with a smile of anticipation.
The night of genocide was near, and with it, the beginning of trouble.
