Behind the Scenes from Naruto

Revenge requires careful planning.

Konan knows that Hanzo is a scheming and vicious person. It\'s very likely that he will set traps in other ninja outposts.

Although traps are nothing for Konan, their purpose is to make Hanzo gather all his cronies in Amegakure in order to protect his safety. They must not let him be afraid of his enemy\'s strength and secretly run away.

Konan decided to return to Akatsuki\'s base to take care of some problems and then continue to selectively attack the Ame ninja outpost.

They can always take care of Amegakure if they really want to.

The Akatsuki organization is a different matter, it\'s held their future and dreams.

There are often messy problems within the organization. The problems they faced this time were particularly troublesome. During this period when Konan left the base, they lost three members.

First of all, someone\'s partner died in the battle.

During the execution of the mission, the poor teammate and enemy were killed by Kakuzu fire attack. His body was taken to bounty station and replaced with a stack of money.

This incident is not very surprising. Akatsuki\'s members have become accustomed to how Kakuzu operates and no one in the organization will say no in face of money.

On the side of Uchiha Itachi, a newcomer in the organization. His partner Biwa Juzo died in battle, he died in his hometown Kirigakure!

According to Uchiha Itachi\'s report, when their team was on a mission in Kirigakure, they encountered the fourth Mizukage Yagura and his followers.

As one of the seven ninja swordsmen who defected from Amegakure, Biwa Juzo knew what would happen if he fell in the hands of Hunter-nin. Even they desperately escaped, they were still surrounded by Yagura.

Yagura is not only the fourth Mizukage but also the three-tailed Jinchuriki.

During the battle, Yagura entered the half-tailed animalized state. Juzo used the Kubikiribōchō to deflect the Bijudama to saved Uchiha Itachi but failed, living him mortally wounded. The Kubikiribōchō pierced his chest and abdomen.

These are just trivial things. For Pain, the death of a member in a mission can only show that they were not strong enough.

The last problem was really unbearable.

Orochimaru attacked the returning Uchiha Itachi and defeated were by Uchiha Itachi\'s illusion. Perhaps the snake defected directly in fear of being punished.

When Konan brought Uehara Naraku back to the base, the remaining members of Akatsuki\'s organization were discussing how to capture Orochimaru and the recruitment of new members.

"Konan, you are back."

Pain glanced at Konan and the teenager next to her and said softly: "We are discussing the issue of replenishing manpower, and we found two suitable partners for Kakuzu and Uchiha Itachi. You go assist them in recruitment."

"Understand."

Konan frowned and nodded.

"The first one was a Cult follower from Yugakure, his name is Hidan. They said that he possesses an immortal body and with this allows him and Kakuzu to act together."

After Pain finished talking about the information of the first person, he turned to look at Konan: "Konan, you take Uchiha Itachi and Kakuzu to recruit him..."

"Okay."

"Tell me about the next person\'s information!"

"The second person, his name is Hoshigaki Kisame."

After mentioning the information of the second person, he turned his head to look at the mysterious masked man and continued with a hoarse voice: "He is a member of the Hoshigaki Clan in the Country of Water. He is known as the Monster of the hidden mist and also the same as Biwa Juzu, one of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the mist"

"Wait Wait, I found Kisame!"

The mysterious mask man suddenly interrupted, raising his hands and volunteer: "Just let me recruit him in joining the organization, so he can be a partner for Itachi!"

"..."

Pain pondered for a while, then raised his head and looked at the masked man questioningly: "I don\'t remember hearing him being a traitor. Is Hoshigaki Kisame now a traitor?"

"I can lure him to defect at any time!"

The mysterious masked man waved his hands happily: "The mission of the Hoshigaki Kisame in Kirigakure always been to slaughter his companions. He must have wanted to defect long ago!"

Pain nodded, he did not doubt his answer and assigned tasks to him according to his request: "Then you go recruit Hoshigaki Kisame!"

"Hee hee... good!"

The mysterious masked man laughed and agreed, twirling his fingers a little embarrassed: "Well, there may be some trouble with this mission. Can another intern of the organization come with me?"

"..."

Having trouble is a fart!

Isn\'t Hoshigaki Kisame yours?

Another intern from the Akatsuki organization? Uehara Naraku becomes alert this time. Why does this sinister and despicable guy want him to go together?

Before Uehara Naraku could respond, Konan first refused him: "No."

"Huh?"

The masked man waved his hands repeatedly and said, "But if I go perform the task, the manpower is a little short! The Kirigakure is a very dangerous place..."

"He is my disciple."

Konan frowned and looked at the masked man who was coveting her disciple. His eyes were a bit cold: "I don\'t think he needs to perform this task with you... If you think Kirigakure is dangerous, I can replace you to recruit over Hoshigaki Kisame!"

The masked man hesitated and said: "Konan-senpai, he is also a member of the organization, and we are all interns...Why can\'t he go on the task with me?"

"..."

Konan\'s face suddenly became impatient.

Because she knows that the mysterious masked man is the extremely evil Uchiha Madara, she doesn\'t want her disciple to have any interaction with the masked man.

It\'s not just the mysterious masked man, except for her and Pain. Konan doesn\'t want anyone from Akatsuki to have any interaction with Naraku.

It\'s just at this moment, everyone gazes looking at Konan with surprise and strange expression.

Although a group of S-rank rebels is not afraid of danger, Konan is so eccentric and does not let her own disciples do it because it\'s dangerous, so let them do it?

It makes people feel unfair.

Pain glanced at everyone present and made the final decision: "Konan!….. you, Kakuzu, and Uchiha Itachi are going to recruit the Hidan... As for Uehara, let him and Tobi go get in touch with Kisame!"

Konan looked at Pain unwillingly. She saw him shook his head slightly, bowed her head, and agreed: "...Okay."

"Actually, it shouldn\'t be that troublesome."

Uehara Naraku raised his eyes to look at everyone present and whispered: "Since senior is worried about the danger. Why not I\'ll go to Kirigakure by myself! It\'s just to draw someone into the organization, not a particularly dangerous task."

"Oh? Okay!"

The mysterious masked man suddenly clapped and said loudly: "In that case, I can make time to help Sasori-senpai find a partner..."

"Okay."

Pain agreed.

Sasori had different opinions. A hoarse voice came from the puppet: "Go, I don\'t like to find people aimlessly..."

After he finished speaking, Sasori turned his head and looked at Pain: "Now that Orochimaru has defected, can I kill him now?"

When Orochimaru was still in the Akatsuki organization, the two of them always quarreled because of ideological issues and financial issues. Now that Orochimaru has defected, Sasori naturally wanted to take revenge and kill him!

"Of course, you can."

Pain asked softly: "Do you have any clues?"

Sasori nodded, and said in a gloomy voice: "I put a spy next to him and he will be able to find news soon."

"Then I will the task with Orochimaru to you."
