At the border of the Kingdom of River, in a rapid river.
A piece of green emerged from the river. A half-meter-sized frog poked its head out of the river. Its eyes suddenly looked around, and there was a light of wisdom in its eyes.
After confirming that there was no danger in the surroundings, the frog opened its mouth and stretched out a hand from the frog's mouth.
Jiraya also came out of the frog's mouth and stood on the water's surface. Blood seeped out of the clothes on his chest. The previous high-intensity battle had caused the wound on his chest to crack.
"Is this a member of the Akatsuki organization? Don't underestimate them."
Jiraya also investigated the Akatsuki in the world. Today, when he fought with the members of the Akatsuki organization, the result was not optimistic. The lack of intelligence made him at a disadvantage when he first fought.
"It's a pity that we didn't catch the captive, but this information must be sent back to Konoha as soon as possible after getting the precious information."
His hands formed a seal, white smoke rose, and Jiraya summoned a toad.
This toad had a strange appearance. Its body was long and thin, and its head was dark yellow. Other than its upper body, its lower body was a scroll more than one meter long.
"Jiraya."
Gerotora hugged his shoulders. The scroll on his body recorded important information, and there was a key to unlocking the Nine-tailed Seal.
Gerotora was clear that if there were nothing important, Jiraya would not summon it.
"Gerotora, help me convey a message to Tsunade."
Jiraya summarized the information of Su Xiao and the other two and came up with a strategy to deal with the three.
After a long time, Gerotora nodded.
"It's clear. Are you injured so badly because of the three people?"
"Yes, if I'm not wrong, these three are only members of the Akatsuki, not leaders. All members have this kind of strength, and the leader will only be more difficult to deal with.
I already have some information, and the Akatsuki often appear near the Rain Village. I will recuperate first and then return to Konoha to see the leader and directly go to the Rain Village."
Jiraya also had the idea of sneaking into the Rain Village, but he always had a bad feeling in his heart.
"You want to sneak into the Rain Village alone? That place is isolated from the outside world, only knowing that it is raining and internal strife all year round, and there is very little other information."
"Well, I will go later. A Ninja Village is closed to this degree, which is very abnormal. I suspect that that is the headquarters of the Akatsuki organization. This is just a suspicion, and the specific situation needs to be investigated before it can be confirmed."
"Alright, then I'll leave first. I'll help you convey the information."
"Thank you."
Bang, white smoke rose, and Gerotora disappeared.
Jiraya also walked to the river. According to his memory, a village nearby was suitable for him to heal.
...
In the Rain Country, there was an oil lamp in the cave in a sealed cave, and several shadows were standing around the oil lamp.
"This is what happened. The famous assassination of the River Country was successful, and Jiraya was beaten back by us, so it was nothing."
Deidara's shadow yawned. It was midnight, and he was still sleeping before Payne contacted him.
"Jiraya."
Heavenly Path murmured, and his mood did not fluctuate too much.
"Is your position exposed?"
Xiao Nan's shadow looked at Su Xiao. This matter made Su Xiao a little suspicious. He had just joined the combination of Scorpion and Deidara, and he had appeared since.
"Well, it was exposed, and Jiraya probably just happened to pass by. When we killed the target, he didn't attack, and then he appeared in the way of a sneak attack. The position of the sneak attack was in a hurry, and he was not familiar with the information of us."
Scorpion saw the meaning of Xiao Nan and helped Su Xiao to speak a few words of justice. Su Xiao's performance was obvious in the previous battle, and the spy did not do this.
"Jiraya is also investigating us." Su Xiao suddenly spoke.
"Huh?"
Both Heavenly Path and Xiao Nan looked at Su Xiao.
"How did you know?"
"He recognized what we were wearing."
Su Xiao remembered what Jiraya had said before.
What evidence is there?
"..."
Of course, the Heavenly Path would not believe Su Xiao's wrong words.
"Jiraya also whispered something to us when we first met. 'Red clouds and black trench coat. It can't be wrong. This is a member of the Akatsuki organization. Although his voice was very low, I was very close to him at that time, and I could vaguely hear it."
Su Xiao was not making up nonsense, and he indeed murmured this before the war began.
Heavenly Path looked at Scorpion and Deidara, who both shook their heads. Scorpion thought and said, "We are also very far away from Jiraya. Only Byakuya and Jiraya are close to him and hurt him."
Su Xiao had just joined the Akatsuki not long ago, so it was normal for him to be suspected.
"There may be enemy spies among us, but this possibility is not strong."
Su Xiao's words made Xiao Nan slightly surprised. She had a moment of doubt that Su Xiao was a spy of Jiraya, and then this idea was dispelled in her mind.
"What do you mean?"
Heavenly Path looked at Su Xiao and motioned for Su Xiao to continue.
Firstly, Scorpion and Deidara have been waiting there for two days. If Jiraya had already known this information in advance, he would never have chosen the location to ambush me in a hurry after I arrived.
Of course, I may also be a spy of Jiraya. This suspicion can not be ruled out. You can investigate or suspect. After all, I have only joined the Akatsuki for a few days.
Su Xiao no longer spoke. Heavenly Path looked at Xiao Nan. If the members of the Akatsuki revealed this matter, the two people already had a candidate to suspect.
Itachi, that's right, it was Uchiha Itachi. On the first day he joined the organization, Nagato guessed that Itachi might be a spy from Konoha, but Itachi was useful, and both sides had an agreement that Itachi would never dare to cross the line.
From Itachi's death, Nagato went to fight Konoha alone, and it could be seen that Itachidragged Nagato indirectly to protect Konoha.
Payne thought for a moment, feeling that this matter did not seem to be information revealed by Itachi.
In that case, the three of them met Jiraya on the way to the mission. As for Su Xiao, Nagato had never suspected him from the beginning, and even if he were a simple-minded spy, he would not do such a thing right after joining the Akatsuki organization.
Was it really because of bad luck? Perhaps, after all, there was a chief in the three-person team, and both Scorpion and Deidara would lie down at all times.
"This matter will end here. I will deal with the follow-up. You have other tasks, Xiao Nan."
Su Xiao and the other two looked at Xiao Nan.
"Recently, I received a more dangerous commission. The civil war in the Water Country has subsided. Some people don't want the Water Country to stop the civil war so early, so..."
After listening to the task described by Xiao Nan, a smile appeared on Su Xiao's face.
"This task is good. Can you kill Mizukage?"
Su Xiao did not expect that he would return to the Water Country so soon, and he was responsible for stirring up the civil war in the Water Country.
"If you can kill it, it doesn't matter, you can't delay the task, so it is like this."
The shadow of the divine law disappeared, and Xiao Nan also disappeared.
"It's really busy. Go back to sleep."
Deidara also disappeared, and Su Xiao and Scorpion also disappeared.
In the territory of the Kingdom of River, there was a shelter formed by giant rocks, two people were resting on the rocks, and there was a figure watching the night not far away.
The one keeping watch was Scorpion, but he suggested that Scorpion could no longer be considered a human, and he did not need to sleep or eat.
"When are we leaving?"
Deidara yawned and threw a few firewoods into the fire. The Kingdom of River was very cold at night.
"Tomorrow morning, I lost too much blood."
Su Xiao lazily leaned on a boulder. It seemed that laziness cancer was acting up.
"Sure."
Scorpion's voice came from not far away. Because of the broken Crimson Stream, Scorpion showed his true form to a handsome red-haired teenager.
Su Xiao looked at Deidara and then looked at Scorpion. The appearance of these two people was completely an idol combination.
