Naruto: I fought the five Kages hard, and then the system came

Chapter 62: Akatsuki's Actions
Whoosh!Whoosh!
The wind howled.

Sasuke quickly shuttled through the forest, letting the strong wind blow his black hair back. His sharp eyes did not dare to carelessly capture any movement around him.

Suddenly, he discovered something, stopped quickly, hid behind a big tree, and slightly poked his head out to look forward.

"One, two, three, four. It's a patrol team from Konoha."

Konoha's power is not entirely concentrated in the village.

Except for the border garrison troops.

Outside Konoha Village, there are patrol teams to serve as warnings to prevent the enemy from breaking into Konoha Village before they are informed.

During the Chunin Exam some time ago, because there were so many VIPs and tourists arriving, Konoha had to mobilize many teams outside to maintain law and order in the village, which made the surprise attack so easy to succeed.

After learning from the lesson, even if Konoha is now short of power, it will increase its patrols on the periphery to avoid being caught off guard again.

Patrol teams, plus the Konoha mission teams that come and go from time to time.

It wasn't so easy for Sasuke to escape since he didn't sleep all the way.

In order to avoid alerting the enemy, Sasuke waited quietly until the Konoha patrol team left from the front before he set off again.

The same treatment was given to the Four Sound Ninjas, except that they were even stronger, and even if they encountered someone from Konoha whom they could not avoid, they were able to force their way through.

Therefore, even though Sasuke had distanced himself, they were still able to hold on tightly.

Although Shikamaru's team set out last, they had the home advantage and could chase without worry all the way, constantly narrowing the gap.

If we look at the overall situation, the distance between Sasuke, the Sound Quartet, and Shikamaru's team is getting closer and closer as time goes by.

Of course, there are never just three parties involved in this game.

Although the incident of the only orphan of the Uchiha clan of Konoha betraying others happened not long ago, it has already reached the eyes of those who are interested.

Drop~drop~
In the dim underground base, Orochimaru, who was lying on the hospital bed with an IV drip, suddenly sat up and roared in agony.

"The newly prepared medicine didn't even last a day. Is it still not working?" The pharmacist Dou adjusted his glasses and sighed.

"Sasuke. Where is Sasuke?" Orochimaru, who was sweating from the pain, looked at his arms tightly wrapped in bandages and asked in an increasingly impatient tone.

"Something unexpected happened." Yakushi Kabuto answered, "According to the latest report from Tayuya and the others, although Sasuke left the village, he did not go with them."

"It seems that he has a new choice?"

"waste!"

Orochimaru cursed through gritted teeth as he was sweating coldly from the pain.

"Besides me, who else can give Sasuke the power to avenge his father? Tell the Four Sound Ninjas that if they can't bring Sasuke back, they can never come back!"

Pharmacist Dou nodded: "I will convey it. By the way, the child wants to do his best at the last moment. Do we need to agree to it?"

"Kimimaro let him go!"

At this moment, in order to achieve his goal, Orochimaru was willing to play all his cards.

After receiving the order, Kabuto Yakushi turned around and left. After closing the door, Orochimaru's screams of pain could be heard again and again.

"Ah! Damn old man. Who on earth is the one who ruined my plan? Ah!!"

"Ban! Ban! I heard a great piece of news!"

In the Land of Rain, Uchiha Obito, who was enjoying the rain again, heard the voice of White Zetsu behind him. His eyes moved and he asked:

"Is it about Yuyi Xuanyue?"

Like other ninja villages, Uchiha Obito was unable to find out the whereabouts of Hagoromo Gengetsu during this period. After all, although White Zetsu's intelligence gathering ability is powerful, it is not omnipotent.

However, several White Zetsu have mysteriously disappeared recently, which made him suspicious, but he found no clues after investigating.

"No." White Zetsu shook his head. Uchiha Obito lost interest when he heard this.

However, White Zetsu's mention of Uchiha Sasuke caught his attention.

"Uchiha Sasuke has defected!" Bai Zetsu said with a smile.

"Defection?"

Uchiha Obito's eyes narrowed inside the spiral mask.

As for Uchiha Sasuke, he had a plan a long time ago, which was to replace Uchiha Itachi and achieve the eternal Mangekyō Sharingan.

As for why Uchiha Itachi was not allowed to evolve into the Eternal Mangekyō.

Not only because he himself suffers from a serious terminal illness.

The bigger reason is that Uchiha Obito is very afraid of Uchiha Itachi.

In the entire Akatsuki organization, even Nagato, who possessed the Rinnegan, was just a useful chess piece in the chess game in his eyes.

But Uchiha Itachi, who also possesses the Mangekyō Sharingan and is a deep-minded person, is the only one that Obito cannot control.

It was for this reason that he deliberately sent Kisame, a true accomplice of his, to be Itachi's companion and be responsible for monitoring the other party.

Fortunately, Uchiha Itachi has been suffering from physical problems, so Uchiha Obito can feel much more at ease.

"Why did Uchiha Sasuke defect?" asked Uchiha Obito.

Bai Zetsu shook his head: "Not sure yet. But there is another piece of news, Orochimaru's people are chasing Uchiha Sasuke."

"Orochimaru"

Hearing the name, Uchiha Obito tapped his fingers on the iron railing.

As a traitor of Akatsuki, not only did Pain issue a kill order against him, he also wanted to kill this guy who knew a lot of information about Akatsuki.

However, this poisonous snake has always been very slippery. Although the Akatsuki organization destroyed several bases of Orochimaru, they did not find him himself.

"If I remember correctly, Itachi and Kisame are still in the Land of Fire, right?" asked Uchiha Obito.

"Yes. After failing to capture the Nine-Tails, they are still in the Fire Country. After all, the Fire Country is very big." White Zetsu replied with a smile.

"Tell Itachi this news. He will make his own choice. By the way, also notify Pain." Uchiha Obito ordered.

Uchiha Obito knew Itachi Uchiha's nature very well and knew exactly what the former would do.

It was a good opportunity to cut off Orochimaru's tentacles to prevent that stinky snake from doing anything to Sasuke, whom he had already planned to use, and thus ruin his Eternal Mangekyō plan.

In addition, it would be great if we could torture Orochimaru's subordinates to find out his location.

Many people in Akatsuki organization are concerned about him.

This plan killed two birds with one stone, and Uchiha Obito felt it was perfect.

Bai Zetsu obeyed and went to deliver the message.

Soon, there was a response from Payne.

He would not miss the opportunity to kill Orochimaru, the traitor of Akatsuki.

With the help of the long-distance communication of the Akatsuki ring, Pain contacted Itachi and Kisame who were thousands of miles away.

After receiving the order, Kisame's shark face smiled grimly, looked at Itachi and said, "Itachi, it looks like you will see your dear brother again."

Itachi calmly put on his hat, and said lightly amid the tinkling sound of wind chimes:
“He was never a target.”
