Getting Ayuri Ringo to join Akatsuki wasn't a sudden whim for Masahiko; he had long thought about planting a spy inside Akatsuki.
Over the years, Akatsuki had always been in the dark, while Masahiko was in the light. He had considered hiding in the dark himself, or even faking his death, but that always felt foolish. Faking his death to stay hidden, waiting for the enemy to appear before striking with the force of a thunderbolt—heaven knows how long he would have to wait.
By taking the initiative to attack, he wouldn't have this concern.
He had also hesitated for a long ti regarding the candidate for the spy. He had considered Obito, or even Konan, but ultimately couldn't make the resolve because being a spy was simply too dangerous a job.
As for disguising himself... he was very self-aware. If he could disguise himself successfully, it would be a miracle.
Catching Ayuri Ringo this ti, he originally hadn't thought in this direction, but after taking a strike from her just now, he suddenly discovered a certain "trait" of hers.
Her identity issue was even easier to explain. Masahiko's identity in the Hidden Mist Village was never exposed in the end, and Ao probably wouldn't reveal it either. Ayuri Ringo "disappeared" in the chaos. Even if people knew she was captured, the rumor would only be "so ninja who knows Space Ninjutsu abducted Ayuri Ringo." When she reappeared in the ninja world, she only needed to say she escaped.
"You an Akatsuki? That organization that controlled the Third old man?" Ayuri Ringo asked weakly.
She hadn't eaten or drank water for over three days.
Masahiko smiled and threw a sealing scroll from his coat to her, containing food and water. He didn't believe she could run away.
Watching her unseal the scroll and begin to wolf down the food without a word, Masahiko smiled and said, "That is right, it is that Akatsuki. I need you to join them and gather intelligence for , preferably finding their leader's hideout."
She didn't speak, just kept eating and drinking.
Masahiko wasn't in a hurry either, waiting for her to recover her physical strength.
His sealing scroll stored a month's worth of food, and she had eaten about a tenth of it. It seed she was truly starving.
Over ten minutes later, she finally raised her head, revealing a disdainful smile. "Are you not worried that I might truly join Akatsuki?"
Masahiko frowned. "Do not smile. If you do not show those jagged teeth, we can still have a proper conversation."
He suddenly had the urge to knock out all her teeth... they were too ugly.
Ayuri Ringo choked for a mont, unable to figure out Masahiko's angle.
Masahiko shook his head and let out a long sigh, looking upward. "Ayuri Ringo, I am afraid you yourself do not even know it yet, but you do not have long to live!"
She fell silent for a long mont, then the tomboy's exaggerated laughter rang out. "Hahahaha... I had long heard that although the Great Elder of the Uzumaki is strong, his personality is flawed. Seeing you today, it really is true!"
Masahiko kept a wooden face. "Who started that rumor? You, with your flawed looks, dare to mock ?"
It was no wonder Ayuri Ringo had this attitude. In this generation of the Seven Ninja Swordsn, she was the youngest, just over thirty, but her strength was among the top.
The Hidden Mist Village called her a genius ninja, believing she had the potential to beco one of the few ninjas at the absolute peak of the ninja world. In other words, they believed she could grow to the SS- level.
"Saying I do not have long to live, does that an you are going to kill ?"
Masahiko sighed. "Although I do not wish to beco a ninja who believes only in bloodlines, the facts prove that ordinary people do indeed have limits. You should have noticed this too, right?"
Ayuri Ringo paused, then sneered. "The older people get, the more cowardly they beco. Are limits not ant to be broken?"
"It is naturally fine if you train on your own; there will always be geniuses with perseverance. But using external forces to break them will ultimately cause damage."
Seeing her frozen in place, Masahiko sighed inwardly.
Ayuri Ringo was indeed a rare genius. At just over thirty, she had trained her Lightning attribute to a rare height. asured by Masahiko's system levels, it was close to level eight.
But after Masahiko sensed her closely, he found that her actual limit should be level seven. Her subsequent progress must have been forcibly stimulated by the Lightning Blades in her hands. As she was now, she would live to forty at most. If she continued training like this, the day her Lightning attribute reached level eight would be the day she died.
Ayuri Ringo was still able to think rationally. After a long while, she spoke with a ferocious smile, "So what? Are you telling to stop training?"
Masahiko smiled. "Stop training temporarily. If you can join Akatsuki, I will give you dicine to repair the damage you have suffered over these years."
Masahiko didn't have a way to break physical limits, but since she could break them through the Lightning Blades, Masahiko could use dicine to repair the damage to her body.
Seeing her deep in thought, Masahiko didn't rush her. This kind of thing couldn't be decided in a mont.
Masahiko took the opportunity to thoroughly tease the Fat Cat, helping it dispel its fear and unfamiliarity from the past two days.
After half an hour, Ayuri Ringo finally spoke: "How can I trust you?"
Masahiko paused; this line was inexplicably awkward.
She also realized it. "I will trust you this once for now."
Masahiko: Even more awkward.
"If you want to be a spy, you have to at least let know so intelligence about Akatsuki, right?"
Masahiko smiled. "Knowing their intelligence will actually make you easier to expose. You only need to know that their intelligence network is very strong, and their leader's strength is also very great. If you are exposed, you will likely die."
"I have no way to send you directly into the Akatsuki organization. You can only disguise yourself as having escaped and choosing to beco a rogue ninja... Hmm, a bounty hunter ninja would be best. With your strength, Akatsuki should take the initiative to invite you... probably." At this point, Masahiko was also a bit unsure.
But thinking about Juzo Biwa from before, Ayuri Ringo was stronger; there was no reason she wouldn't be invited.
"Heh, what a difficult mission." Ayuri Ringo started laughing again.
Masahiko frowned, waved his hand, and the two appeared in the outside world.
"This is a barren mountain southwest of Konoha Village. You will handle the rest on your own. Just contact when you join the Akatsuki organization. If you cannot join, do not co looking for . As long as you do not oppose Konoha and the Land of Whirlpools, consider yourself free. You will not live past forty anyway."
"Forty?" Ayuri Ringo lowered her head slightly. "Heh, then I truly thank you for sparing my life."
"Hmm?" She looked up, only to find that Masahiko had already disappeared from in front of her.
Two kiloters away, Masahiko breathed a sigh of relief. "I almost couldn't stop myself from knocking out all her teeth... I hope this idle chess piece can give a pleasant surprise."
Suddenly, characters flashed before his eyes: "Mostly witnessed and completely changed the Naruto World side story: Fourth Mizukage. Obtained 10(/2)(x10) Witness Points."
Masahiko looked slightly pleased. "It is finally here. Did Mangetsu Hozuki take office? 1210 Witness Points, I am not far off now. And for the Third War, that Optimus Pri, I should also be considered to have participated in changing it, right? The Witness Points will not be little. If only I had not taken the bla for it..."
Masahiko shook his head, feeling slightly invigorated. "Then back to Konoha, let's continue! To cure infertility, you should call... wait, what was it again? The local plumber?"
"Looking for is the right choice!"
