The Invisible Assassin of Konoha

Chapter 279 Rikimaru and Scorpion
"To shut up!"

Seeing the confrontation between Riki and Xie, Payne yelled angrily: "Do you two think I don't exist? Don't forget where this place is. If you do it again, don't blame me for being rude to you."

Suppressing the killing intent in his heart, Riki didn't make any more moves. After all, he was in Payne's territory, so he still had to give him some face.

The handsome Xie smiled slightly, and looked at Payne with apprehension on his face. He didn't know Payne's strength, but he knew how strong Xiao Nan was on the other side. Since Xiao Nan was led by Payne, he must have The strength of bit cannot be underestimated.

Pride is pride, but Scorpio understands the principle of judging the situation.

"What's the matter with the two of you?"

After Rikimaru and Scorpion stopped, Payne asked dissatisfiedly.

Neither Riki nor Scorpion said anything, it was a matter between the two of them, they were both proud people, Riki didn't want to tell the story of the past, and Scorpion, who was the victor at the beginning, didn't show his complacency either.

Seeing that the two of them were silent, Payne was even more troubled. The two members they finally found were deadly rivals.

"I don't care about any grievances between the two of you. Since you have joined Akatsuki, the previous grievances will be temporarily put aside. If you really can't do it, you can fight if you want, but I don't want any of you to be killed, otherwise don't Blame me for being ruthless."

He didn't want to lose these two great powers, so he could only forcefully suppress them, but he didn't know that his statement was not taken seriously by these two people at all.

"I have no opinion, I just don't know what his opinion is?" Xie said slowly.

Rikimaru said lightly: "Since Payne said so, I will spare his life, but if he does something that dissatisfies me, I cannot guarantee whether he will survive."

"It's as if you could kill me at any time, and I don't know who escaped so fast back then." Scorpion mocked.

Riki also sneered: "If it wasn't for me, you thought you could hurt me?"

Although he did suffer a big loss back then, most of them were thanks to the third generation of Kazekage. If it was just the red sand scorpion, he wouldn't be in such a mess.

"Really? What makes me curious is, how did you detoxify me in the first place?"

Xie was really curious. Li Wan had poisonous gas into his body that day, so he couldn't last long, but why Li Wan survived without any sequelae, this puzzle has been lingering in his mind for a long time.

"If you have a chance, you can try again."

"It makes sense. It seems that I really need to make a good plan."

Seeing these two young boys confronting each other here, Payne and Xiao Nan were quite helpless. This meeting was totally different from what they had imagined.

"Okay, calling you over today is not just for you to get to know each other, but also for another thing."

Payne interrupted the confrontation between Rikimaru and Scorpion, and said: "We have received information that Orochimaru, one of the three ninjas in Konoha Village, defected not long ago, and is now an S-rank rebellious ninja."

"Oshemaru defected?"

Rikimaru was startled, he had been staying in the Land of Rain some time ago and didn't know what happened outside, Orochimaru had defected?

Payne nodded and said: "Yes, Orochimaru has defected for a few days. Rikimaru, you are also from Muye Village, and you must be familiar with Orochimaru. We hope you will come forward to recruit Orochimaru into the organization."

"Familiarity is out of the question."

He has met Orochimaru many times, but they are not very familiar with each other, and even he was indirectly raped by Orochimaru once.

"Oshemaru is a scheming man. Since he dared to defect, he must have made a plan for the next step. If he wants to bring him in, if he doesn't pay a certain price, he can only use his strength to suppress him and force him to join."

Orochimaru was able to live in the plot for so long, not only because he had a lot of cards, but also because he knew how to endure.

Payne said: "So I'm going to let Xie go with you. If Orochimaru agrees, it's fine. If he doesn't agree, with the strength of the two of you, you can completely suppress him."

"Let me join forces with him?"

Both Riki and Scorpion frowned. They both wanted to kill each other, but Payne still asked them to cooperate. Isn't it afraid that they will fight each other halfway?

Payne said in a deep voice: "I know you have conflicts, but now is an extraordinary moment, and the strength of the organization needs to be developed."

"Xie, if you agree, I can agree to the conditions you mentioned earlier."

"Rikimaru, I can also satisfy your request on certain things."

Payne's promise made Scorpion's eyes light up. He urgently needs a perfect laboratory for human experiments. Xiao Nan promised him to help him build a laboratory before, but he did not agree to his needs for human experiments.

Now that Payne agreed, his heart was ready to move, but he knew that his attitude was not the most important, the most important thing was Riki's attitude.

Riki pondered for a moment, he really wanted to kill Xie, but it was more just to avenge his nearly being killed in the past, now that Xie joined Akatsuki, if he killed Xie regardless, Akatsuki probably wouldn't be able to stay any longer.

If it is possible to use this, it may not be an option to get what you want from Payne.

"Our grievances can be resolved temporarily, but, Xie, if I need your help in the future, you must help me unconditionally."

The benefits that Payne promised were not enough. Rikimaru made a request to Scorpion. Scorpion is a genius scientist second only to Orochimaru. Maybe he will be useful in the future.

Xie sneered and said, "Why should I promise you?"

"That's enough, Xie. I promise him on your behalf. As for your loss, I will bear it in the future."

Payne didn't give them a chance to quarrel, and he spoke forcefully. No matter how upset Xie was, he could only agree to it as he was dependent on others.

"In any case, you have to bring back Orochimaru to me. If you can't bring back the live ones, you must also bring back the dead bodies."

"It's not too late, you start now, otherwise, after a long time, Orochimaru hides, and it will be difficult to find him again. As for the information, I will never contact you."

"Who is Jue?" Scorpion asked.

Payne: "Riki knows, he will find you."

Riki and Scorpion left at the same time, and Scorpion stared at Riki coldly: "I didn't expect that we could still become companions. It's really unpredictable. How did you feel when you were poisoned by me?"

Not to be outdone, Rikimaru said, "The puppet just now was too weak, is the third Kazekage's puppet ready?"

Scorpion's pupils constricted and his complexion changed drastically, "How do you know?"

"Guess." Rikimaru glanced at him contemptuously.
