I'm Uzumaki Naruto, I don't need approval

Chapter 136 136. Dried persimmon Kisame

"Hiruzen, the leader of Uzushio Village should be the Nine-Tailed Jinchuuriki."

Seeing the Third Hokage's hesitant expression, Danzo already had the answer in his heart.

After knowing that Danzo could not be concealed, the Third Hokage had no choice but to admit:

"Yes, the leader of Uzushio Village is Naruto. After leaving the village, he led Shisui's gang of Uchiha to rebuild the country of Uzumaki and established Uzushio Village."

"Run away? I'm afraid it's a defection. You are still defending that traitorous ninja. He has already established his own business and even had the idea of ​​joining the Kingdom of Waves. If the Kingdom of Whirlpool is really annexed, you can pass the Chuunin Exam to win over the surrounding small countries. I’m afraid my plan will be ruined.”

Danzo's words were sharp and he didn't give the Third Hokage any face.

After all, whether it was injuring a guard and defecting to Konoha, or leading the remnants of the Uchiha to establish a country overseas, the Nine-Tails Jinchuuriki's behavior was no different from that of Orochimaru, and it would not be too much to give an S-class traitor a wanted notice.

"This is just a stopgap measure."

The Third Hokage also lost his temper and said tit for tat: "Do you want Naruto to become a wanted rebel ninja? This will have no other benefits except making other ninja villages laugh. And if you don't break your skin, Naruto will still return. It is possible that the Kingdom of Whirlpool still belongs to the power of Konoha."

Danzo snorted, but there was no good solution.

Long before the Nine-Tailed Jinchuuriki defected, he had tried to stop the Nine-Tailed Jinchuuriki. At that time, he could not do anything to Naruto and could only let Naruto walk away.

But that didn't stop him from embarrassing the Third Hokage, because it was the Third Hokage's fault.

After pondering for a while, Danzo slowly asked: "In that case, who are you going to send to complete this commission? Why not just annex the country of Waves? Cardo's property is not clean anyway."

The Third Hokage did not refute Danzo, but fell into deep thought, thinking about the feasibility of this matter.

…

The country of rain.

Nagato, who is sitting in a wheelchair, is maintaining the Six Paths of Pain. Although the Six Paths of Pain are puppets, they are essentially corpses that inherit the power of the Samsara Eye and need to be frozen to avoid decay.

With many years of experience, Nagato has already become extremely skilled in maintaining Pain's Six Paths.

After applying another layer of preservative, Nagato carefully put Tiandao into the special glass jar, looking at Tiandao's face and falling into memories.

Of all the Pains, Tiandao is undoubtedly the most special.

Made from Yahiko's corpse, it inherits Yahiko's body and ideals, and is the incarnation of his ideal god.

It can be said that with the existence of this heaven, he is the god who is high and looks down on all living beings, not the weak Nagato who can be bullied and cannot be protected by anyone.

But at this moment, after taking off the mask of Payne, he turned into the sentimental Nagato again.

Sitting in a wheelchair listening to the sound of rain outside, while dreaming about the beautiful world in the future, I was also worried about the plans of the Akatsuki organization.

In the three-step plan of the Akatsuki organization, whether it is to monopolize small-scale wars, use the suspicion of the five major countries to collect tailed beasts, or the plan to finally resurrect the Ten-Tails, every step has a very high probability of failure.

Payne's enemies are not only the five major powers, but also the mysterious Uchiha Madara within the organization.

The other party was the first ninja to join Akatsuki after the original Akatsuki organization was completely destroyed, and he was also one of the suspects who led to the destruction of the first Akatsuki organization.

Otherwise, with Hanzo's strength, at least a few of them could survive, and he and Konan would not be the only ones left.

At this time, Xiaonan came to the former through the paper escape technique.

After noticing the familiar footsteps, Nagato instantly switched to Payne's character and said in a low voice: "Konan, is something wrong with the village, or is something wrong with Akatsuki?"

Konan glanced at the skinny Nagato, then at the frozen Tiandao, and sighed softly in his heart.

"It's an organizational matter. Someone in the black market gave Akatsuki a commission, saying that the country of Waves was attacked by the ninjas of Uzushio Village and needs Akatsuki's help to repel the invaders?"

"Uzushio Village invades the Country of Waves?"

Nagato frowned: "I remember that the country of Waves is an island country, and the living standard there is lower than that of Amegakure Village. Why did Uzushio Village attack there when nothing happened? To fish in the sea?"

"The person who issued the commission was the wealthy Kaduo. He may have been targeted because of his wealth."

"No wonder I was targeted by Uzumaki Village. It turned out to be that black-hearted businessman from Cardo..."

Nagato had some knowledge of Cardo's shipping company. It was a company that started out as a smuggler and illegal drug company. It occasionally also worked part-time as a human trafficker and a pirate. Otherwise, it would not be possible to become one of the world's leading tycoons.

Hearing Nagato's disdainful tone, Konan also frowned and said, "How about we give up this commission? Cardo is not a good person. There is no need for us to provoke Uzumaki Village. After all, it is your tribe's village."

Nagato shook his head and said to Konan:

"No, I don't plan to give up this commission. The village needs this money, and the organization must also find out the reality of Uzushio Village."

"Don't forget that our original intention of establishing the Akatsuki organization was to use the Ten-Tails as a deterrent to prevent further wars between ninja villages. Pain's vision is not so narrow, and there are no so-called clansmen."

"However, there are indeed a lot of doubts in this. Why Cardo was able to escape the attack of Uzushio Village, and why he came to our Akatsuki organization. These must be investigated clearly."

…

Not long after, Uchiha Itachi and Inigaki Kisame, who were active in the Land of Fire, received the mission from their subordinates.

After learning the specific content of the mission, Kisame didn't have many ideas. On the other hand, Uchiha Itachi frowned and fell into deep thought.

The client is the rich man Cardo, and the purpose is to repel the ninjas attacking the Land of Waves. There is no problem with this.

But it is very intriguing to point out that he is a ninja from Uzushio Village. Cardo is not a ninja. How did he know that the attacker came from Uzushio Village, and why did he escape the attack from Uzushio Village?

Moreover, most of the ninjas in Uzushio Village are Uchiha, the group of tribesmen who parted ways with him.

How to meet these tribesmen who survived the slaughter was the biggest problem he faced.

But a mission is a mission, and he cannot refuse it. If he is expelled from the Akatsuki organization because of this, all his efforts will be in vain.

Kisame, who was carrying the Samehada sword, was waiting impatiently: "Hey, how long do you want? I can't wait to get to the Land of Waves and fight with those Uzushio Village ninjas."

Uchiha Itachi glanced at Kisame and led the way without saying a word.

When they first met, a fight broke out between the two, but the outcome was inconclusive.

At that time, he believed that Kisame was an impulsive militant.

But after getting along with him on several missions, he also had a certain understanding of Kisame. If Juuzou is a good person, Kisame should be a pure ninja.

Kisame, on his mission, has no unnecessary nonsense or any empathy.

He will not hesitate to kill anyone who affects the mission, including ordinary people, but if it does not affect the mission, he will never kill indiscriminately. He is an almost perfect ninja.

From a strength perspective, Kisame can't fault him at all. He is a powerful Jonin who is proficient in water escape and taijutsu, and he is not weak in the talented Akatsuki organization.

It is naturally a good thing to team up with such a person, but the premise is that you will always be loyal to the same organization, and he is just a spy lurking in the Akatsuki organization, and sooner or later he will turn against the Akatsuki organization.

Distracted thoughts disappeared with the wind, Uchiha Itachi quickened his pace and galloped through the woods at high speed.

The two were extremely fast, and it took them less than half a day to reach the coast of the Country of Fire. Opposite them was the Country of Waves, a barren and desolate island across the sea.

It was still night at this time, and there were no fishing boats on the sea, but the sea water was obviously not an obstacle to the Jonin.

But after sensing the chakra fluctuations in front of them, the two stopped and looked at the vortex that suddenly appeared in front of them and the masked man Obito who walked out of it.

After looking at Itachi and Kisame for a few times, Obito came up and said, "Oh my, I didn't expect to meet two seniors here. Did the seniors receive any mission? Can I participate?"
