This guy's real goal is to collect kills, right?
However, he was also pondering Hidan's suggestion.
After pondering for a while, Pain shook his head and said, "Naruto is very strong. My intuition tells me that even if the entire Akatsuki were to act, they probably wouldn't be able to subdue Naruto!"
These words caused a tense moment in everyone present.
They never expected the leader to give such a response.
At this moment, Deidara scratched his head and asked, "Boss, what should we do?"
Faced with his question, Pain fell silent.
Currently...
He really couldn't do anything about the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki!
After a ten-minute silence, Pain looked at the crowd before him and spoke:
"Recently, in order to deal with the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, we have been frequently exposed in the ninja world."
"Now, the leaders of all the major villages in the ninja world are paying attention to our Akatsuki organization."
"In order to avoid exposing the organization's base as much as possible, the capture of the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki..."
Let's wait a bit.
"We'll start our activities again when the higher-ups of the major villages in the ninja world have forgotten about our organization."
"Meeting dismissed."
After finishing speaking, Pain stood up and left the meeting room.
Other members of the Akatsuki organization.
They watched their leader's retreating figure, their eyes flickering slightly.
Soon after, everyone left the meeting room.
...scholar.
Chapter 140 Konan and Jiraiya, Master and Disciple Reunite! Jiraiya: Master? What's going on?
Fire Nation.
Konoha Village.
Nanhe River.
river bank.
A blond boy sat in a chair, holding a red fishing rod in his right hand and taking out a comic book from his pocket with his left hand to study it.
A smile would occasionally appear on the boy's face.
"Good grief, they're already doing a wall slam right off the bat?"
Naruto clicked his tongue as he looked at the contents of the comic book.
He then turned to the next page and continued reading the comic book.
On the country lanes of Namga River.
A middle-aged man with long white hair was looking around at the nearby riverbank.
The next moment, the white-haired middle-aged man saw Naruto on the riverbank not far away.
"As expected, I knew you were here."
The middle-aged man muttered something to himself, a slight smile appearing on his face.
Immediately, he walked directly towards Naruto's direction.
As he walked, he shouted "060" repeatedly.
"Naruto! Naruto!"
On the riverbank, Naruto, who was fishing, heard someone calling his name and a smile appeared on his lips.
He knew who it was from that familiar voice.
You old pervert, here we come!
Turning to look at Jiraiya approaching, Naruto smiled and said, "Weren't you supposed to be traveling around the village? Why are you back so soon?"
Soon, Jiraiya arrived in front of Naruto, shrugged, and replied, "Well, I heard about the attack on Konoha by the Akatsuki organization while I was traveling outside the village, and you were their target, so I rushed back."
"I see." Naruto nodded upon hearing this.
At this moment, Jiraiya looked Naruto up and down and couldn't help but sigh, "As expected of the Child of Destiny that the Toad Sage spoke of, his strength is indeed very strong!"
"No, they're stronger than I expected!"
When Naruto's strength was mentioned, a look of shock inadvertently appeared in his eyes.
Jiraiya arrived in Konoha Village this morning.
Without any hesitation, he immediately went to find Tsunade to find out what was going on.
When Jiraiya learned that Naruto had easily defeated the Akatsuki intruders, he was completely dumbfounded.
In his mind, the Akatsuki organization was quite mysterious and also an extremely powerful organization.
But to his surprise, Naruto was able to easily crush the members of this organization.
This is enough to show—
Just how terrifying is his strength?!
Now that Jiraiya has seen Naruto sitting peacefully on the riverbank fishing, his worries have finally been put to rest.
at this time.
A crisp voice sounded.
"Master, lunch is ready, you can eat now."
Naruto and Jiraiya looked over upon hearing the sound.
A woman dressed in a white silk maid outfit jogged over from a short distance away.
When Naruto saw the person who had arrived, a smile appeared on his handsome face, and he answered.
"Oh, I see."
However, no sooner had he finished speaking than Jiraiya suddenly exclaimed, "Konan!!!"
He had previously gone to Tsunade to inquire about the Akatsuki's attack on Konoha, and thus learned a great deal of information.
This includes Xiao Nan's matter.
In particular, Jiraiya was stunned when he learned that Konan was actually a member of the Akatsuki organization.
He found it utterly unbelievable.
The Akatsuki is an organization composed of all the major rogue ninjas in the entire ninja world. How could Konan be with those people?
Upon learning the news, Jiraiya immediately went to visit Naruto and then went to Konan to find out the details.
Xiao Nan has arrived just in time.
Jiraiya saved himself the trouble of going to find her.
at the same time.
When Xiao Nan, who had run over, heard the voice she hadn't heard in many years, she froze on the spot.
The image of a white-haired man instantly flashed into her mind.
"Jiraiya-sensei!!!"
She stared blankly at Jiraiya with her big, bright eyes.
Jiraiya, seeing his apprentice's stunned expression, took a deep breath and asked, "Konan, I'd like to know how you joined Akatsuki?"
These words instantly snapped Xiao Nan out of her daze.
When she heard the words "Akatsuki," her expression froze, and she fell silent.
She knew perfectly well that it was normal for Jiraiya not to know that she was a member of Akatsuki.
after all--
When the Akatsuki organization was founded, Jiraiya had already left Amegakure.
Jiraiya was unaware of everything that happened in Amegakure.
include...
Yahiko's death! ! !
"Konan, is something wrong?" Jiraiya's heart skipped a beat when he saw his apprentice's somber expression. He quickly asked, "By the way, since you've joined Akatsuki, are Nagato and Yahiko also in Akatsuki?"
Xiao Nan remained silent in the face of these words.
She didn't know how to answer Jiraiya's question.
Or...
She never imagined she would run into her former teacher, Jiraiya.
At this moment, Jiraiya saw Konan remaining silent, and his expression grew increasingly serious.
The more silent the other person remained, the more he felt that something was seriously wrong.
I'm afraid everything is even worse than I imagined or saw!
In an instant, the atmosphere in the entire arena froze, as if the space had been filled with glue, leaving no air whatsoever and creating a suffocating feeling!
This extremely tense atmosphere didn't last long. Konan, who hadn't spoken until now, suddenly said, "Jiraiya-sensei, I hope you won't ask me any more questions about my joining Akatsuki. I won't answer them."
Upon hearing this, Jiraiya gave Konan a deep look.
He understood this perfectly, and knew his students very well.
Since Xiao Nan said she wouldn't reveal anything, there was no point in pressing her for details; she wouldn't get any useful information out of her.
So!!
