In the dark cave, a huge statue of a demon roared to the sky.

From the fingertips of the open hands, blurry figures gradually condensed, but compared to the last time, there were two fewer figures this time.

One was Uchiha Itachi's partner Biwa Juzo.

The other was Kakuzu's partner, the big man that Scorpion had little contact with.

"Two people were missing. Uchiha Itachi's partner died because his plan failed and he was chased by the Fourth Mizukage. As for Kakuzu's partner,"

Pain Tiandao spoke in a low voice, but when he talked about Kakuzu, he didn't know how to continue, and his swirling eyes looked over.

"I had already warned him to dodge, but he was too slow and was affected by my move."

Kakuzu said calmly.

There was no regret in his tone, because he really warned him, but the guy was too slow to react.

"I think you've wanted to kill him for a long time."

Orochimaru said with a sinister smile, not seeming to mind making things worse.

"I want to kill you even more. The bounty on your head is in the top five on Konoha's bounty list.

Kakuzu looked over with a cold look and said calmly:

""Quiet!"

Pain Tiandao's voice suddenly sounded, interrupting the conversation between the two. He looked at the crowd with cold eyes and said slowly:"The plan to capture the tailed beast is temporarily suspended. The three-tailed beast is dead and will not be reborn within three to five years. We need to lie dormant for a while and wait for the resurrection of the three-tailed beast. All activities outside will return to their previous state, focusing on bounty missions!"

"In addition, two members are missing and they need to recruit again. Zetsu already has a target. One is a genius from the Hidden Rock Village who is good at using secret techniques and can make clay explode with great power. The other is a ninja from the Hidden Soup Village who believes in a cult and has very strange methods. He is suspected of having an immortal body!"

After saying that, he looked at everyone. It was obvious that he was not going to take action and let them recruit by themselves.

"

Leave the genius from the Hidden Rock Village to me. I am very interested in his secret technique.

"I'm interested in immortality."

"I'm interested, too."

Orochimaru and Kakuzu spoke at the same time, their eyes exchanged for a moment, mixed with a bit of unrestrained murderous intent.

"Then Scorpion will temporarily partner with Uchiha Itachi, and Orochimaru will partner with Kakuzu. You will be responsible for recruiting new members."

Pein said calmly.

Scorpion and Uchiha Itachi nodded in silence.

Orochimaru and Kakuzu exchanged a few words unpleasantly.

"I hope you can respond faster."

"You can try~"

"Quiet!"

Pain Tiandao was like a patient class teacher, calmly reminding the two to follow the rules. After the two shut up, he spoke again:"There was an accident with the Three-Tails this time. The puppeteer who attacked Konoha before appeared in the Hidden Mist Village and attacked the Three-Tails, cutting off one of its tails. His purpose is unknown.

Orochimaru, how much do you know about him?"

"We have worked together once, but that guy is very mysterious, and his specific identity and information are unknown, because he has always appeared as a puppet."

Orochimaru shook his head and said without thinking.

People like them who are smart will naturally not easily let others see what they are thinking.

"Scorpion, do you know? After all, you are all puppeteers."

Pain Tiandao looked at the silent Scorpion and asked calmly

"I don't know."

Fei Liu Hu replied indifferently.

Pain Tiandao didn't ask anything, nor did he continue to ask nonsense questions. He announced the end of the meeting and cut off the video.

Scorpion and Uchiha Itachi agreed on a time and place, and then went offline.

In the dark cave.

Nagato slowly opened his eyes, his eyes full of pressure were calm and indifferent, looking at Uchiha Obito who was waiting in front of him and said lightly:"Orochimaru and Scorpion said they don't know."

"Got it."

Uchiha Obito was silent for a while, nodded slightly, then looked at the skinny Nagato and asked,"Can your body still hold on? It will take several years for the Three-Tails to be resurrected."

"God will not die so easily."

Nagato said coldly.

Uchiha Obito looked at him, silent for a while, and said nothing more. A vortex appeared in his eyes, and the next moment, his figure turned into a dot and disappeared on the spot.

"He seems to be very concerned about the strange puppeteer."

Konan walked out of the darkness, looked at Nagato, frowned, and said slowly

""That strange puppeteer attacked the three-tailed beast. His purpose is unknown. We really need to pay attention to him."

Nagato said slowly. Konan nodded slightly and stopped talking. At least at this stage, the purpose of the strange puppeteer is still unclear. It is hard to say whether he is a friend or an enemy.

Compared with the other party, Konan is more concerned about whether Nagato's body can hold on.

However, Nagato did not notice Konan's concern.

For Nagato, the only motivation that supports him to persevere is Yahiko's will.

Land of Earth, Iwagakure Village.

In a shop on the edge of the village.

A middle-aged man with black hair, simple clothes and yellow skin is grinding some black powder with a focused look on his face.

From the things placed around the shop, it can be seen that this shop sells fireworks and other things. The specifications are not very large, only about a dozen square meters, which is barely enough to open a shop.

This middle-aged man is naturally one of the puppet clones who has come to Iwagakure Village for many years. In recent years, he has also gained some reputation in Iwagakure Village with his good fireworks making skills.

In the past, many people bought firecrackers and fireworks during the New Year.

"Deidara?"

The middle-aged man slowly stood up and looked outside the village. He muttered in his heart. Scorpion was no stranger to the little guy who played with explosions.

After all, in recent years, the other party relied on the fact that he was the apprentice of the third generation Tsuchikage Ohnoki to blow up the entire Iwagakure Village, and he also called it art.

"Art? It's time to teach him what art is."

Scorpion muttered in his heart, with some expectation and amusement for this future partner.
