After Training Bankai for a Decade, I Was Scouted by the Akatsuki Chapter 66 67 In the Name of Amegakure, Military Deterrence

The next morning, dawn.

Everything was almost as usual.

The sudden intrusion incident last night brought no waves to this small Shinobi Village.

All the civilians and Shinobi seed already accustod to sudden battles erupting in the village.

Those twenty-one Sunagakure's Anbu, under Pain's orders, were eventually imprisoned in the dungeon by the Agakure's Shinobi.

Afterwards,

Just as Kyo had anticipated—

Shortly after dawn,

Pain imdiately used the ring to transmit a ssage to Kyo.

"There's a mission, Kyo."

"et at the base in three minutes, I'll explain in detail."

Kyo naturally expected this transmission and directly got up and headed towards the base.

...

Upon entering the base,

Kyo imdiately saw Pain and Konan waiting ahead.

Kyo, hands in his pockets, walked over casually and asked very informally:

"Looks like you got results from the interrogation last night?"

This leisurely attitude made it seem as if he were the leader of Akatsuki.

However, Pain just calmly ignored these trivial details.

He nodded flatly and spoke:

"Yes."

"That Suna's Shinobi confessed truthfully."

"Five days ago, the Fourth Kazekage suddenly received a mysterious piece of intelligence, stating that Hanzo of the Salamander was dead and that Konoha's Uchiha Clan had been annihilated."

"Thus, Rasa, eager to expand his territory, ordered them to infiltrate here and verify the intelligence."

"..."

Kyo's gaze shifted slightly after listening.

'Huh?'

'Intelligence suddenly received five days ago?'

'Tsk tsk,'

'The source of this intelligence is way too obvious...'

Kyo couldn't help but chuckle and shake his head.

Six nights ago,

Orochimaru attacked Itachi, failed, and then defected from Agakure.

And just one day after his defection, Sunagakure in the Land of Wind suddenly received these two pieces of intelligence about Agakure and the Uchiha.

The trickery here, as long as one isn't stupid, is easy to understand with a little thought.

It has to be said,

Orochimaru's move was really damaging...

To divert attention from Akatsuki's pursuit, he deliberately went out of his way to harm Rasa.

This behavior isn't just immoral, it's downright despicable.

…

Just as Kyo was pondering,

Pain suddenly spoke again, interrupting his thoughts.

His gaze was indifferent, his Rinnegan eyes fixed on Kyo as he spoke flatly:

"Kyo."

"You must have noticed too, right?"

"This intelligence leak this ti was most likely... the work of the traitor, Orochimaru."

"It seems what we feared most has ultimately happened."

"Since he can sell out Agakure's intelligence, the next step is very likely to directly sell out Akatsuki's intelligence."

"If that happens, our future actions in the Shinobi World will beco extrely difficult."

"This is absolutely unacceptable!"

As he spoke, Pain's gaze suddenly darkened, and he said decisively:

"We can no longer sit back and wait."

"We must act imdiately."

"So Kyo, your mission objective this ti... is to go to Sunagakure in the Land of Wind!"

"Based on last night's interrogation results,"

"Sunagakure's probing of Agakure won't stop at just once. Therefore, we must exert so military deterrence against them!"

"At the sa ti, you must also take the opportunity to find the whereabouts of that traitor Orochimaru, who provided the intelligence, within Suna, and... eliminate him!"

Pain unhurriedly finished explaining the entire mission, his expression still indifferent.

After hearing this series of words, Kyo slightly raised an eyebrow, then chuckled lightly, sincerely praising:

"Truly worthy of the leader."

"In such a short ti, you've already analyzed the situation this thoroughly?"

"..."

Pain didn't respond, but continued speaking flatly:

"Due to the special nature of this mission, involving direct confrontation with a Shinobi Village."

"Akatsuki cannot be directly exposed yet."

"Therefore, in this mission, you must temporarily disguise yourself as a Shinobi of Agakure."

"Deter Suna in the na of Agakure, not Akatsuki."

"Understand?"

"..."

Kyo's gaze was calm as he nodded.

He naturally knew that Akatsuki couldn't act too high-profile right now.

After all, on one hand, their strength wasn't fully ford yet,

On the other hand, the Tailed Beast Capture Plan hadn't officially begun, so attracting the attention of the Five Great Nations would ultimately be unwise.

Just then, Pain suddenly continued speaking flatly:

"To ensure the smooth completion of your mission."

"This ti, I will dispatch a team to assist you covertly."

"Co out—"

"Biwa Juzo, Uchiha Itachi."

"...Huh?"

Kyo was montarily stunned.
