Chapter 144 144. New Recruitment Candidates

"For this operation"

"Itachi and Kisame, although it is their first time to team up to carry out a mission, they have a considerable degree of tacit understanding."

"Then let's not slack off from now on."

"Keep recruiting for the organization."

"The remaining people also need their own partners, so that future missions can ensure maximum success."

"..."

The masked man finished speaking.

Xiao Nan slightly raised his eyes and looked over, and said calmly:

"Madara, the person we want to recruit next is..."

"A guy from Iwagakure."

The masked man replied calmly:

"His name is Deidara."

"He is a talented young ninja from Iwagakure. He masters a powerful blood succession limit called 'Explosion Release'."

"Recruit him as Chen Xiaoxi's partner."

"……Um?"

As soon as this is said,

Pain and Xiaonan couldn't help being stunned at the same time.

"what?"

“The person he wants to partner with is not Kakuzu?

But...Chen Xiaoxi? "

The two of them naturally became confused.

after all.

From the current situation,

Kakuzu's strength is obviously several levels behind Chen Xiaoxi's.

Therefore,

When they heard about the recruitment of a new partner, they subconsciously thought it would be for Kakuzu.

After all, currently, they are the only two without a partner.

But they didn't expect,

The masked man actually planned to let him partner with Chen Xiaoxi...

"……Um."

After hearing the two people's doubts, the masked man just nodded slowly, and then explained in a low and calm voice:

"Deidara and Kakuzu don't get along well."

"With his fiery temper, if he partners with that guy Kakuzu in the future, the two of them will probably clash frequently."

"It's not conducive to the execution of the mission."

"but,"

"Chen Xiaoxi's calm personality can exactly complement him."

"so,"

"Putting them in pairs will maximize efficiency."

The masked man said calmly.

After hearing this,

Xiaonan and Payne nodded slowly.

"understood."

"So... when will we start taking action?"

"Action..."

The masked man repeated slowly, his eyes flashing slightly.

Then, he suddenly raised a hand and gently rubbed his thumb and index finger, as if he was thinking about something.

After a while,

Then he raised his head and looked over again and asked:

"Now in the organization,"

"Except for the two of you, who are there who don't have a mission for the time being?"

words fell,

Xiaonan answered directly without thinking:

"Currently...there is only Jue."

"Chen Xiaoxi should still be in Konoha, the Country of Fire, responsible for the task of investigating Jinchuuriki intelligence in the name of the Joint Chunin Examination."

"As for Uchiha Itachi and Kisame, although their mission has been successful, they are still far away in the Kingdom of the Sea."

"As for Kakuzu, he is currently responsible for a mercenary mission in the Land of Thunder. It should not be completed in the short term."

"..."

After the words fell, the masked man immediately lowered his eyes and said with some surprise:

"Um……"

"It seems that there are currently no suitable manpower available."

The voice fell,

Payne on the side looked up and said softly:

"Why not, this time, Xiaonan and I will personally go to the Kingdom of Earth to invite them."

"..."

After the words fell, the masked man shook his head slowly and said:

"Do not,"

"You two, you have other tasks to do later."

"There is no need to go to Earth Country in person."

Speaking of which,

The masked man seemed to have thought of something, looked up again, and said softly:

"It's better to contact Chen Xiaoxi."

"The task of investigating the Jinchuuriki's intelligence shouldn't take that long. Let's see how the situation is on his side25."

"If he's done, then,"

"Just let Ze start and pick him up, and then the two of them will go to Iwagakure together."

"..."

After the words fell, Payne's eyes moved slightly, and then he nodded lightly.

.

As always.

He raised his right hand, put his thumb, ring finger and little finger together, forming a "we" seal on one hand.

The technique begins to activate.

After a while,

The connection with the ring worn by Chen Xiaoxi was successful.

Payne's eyes raised slightly, and then he concentrated on the ring message:

"Chen Xiaoxi, how is the mission going?"

he asked straight to the point.

And a moment later,

Chen Xiaoxi's usual leisurely voice sounded in his mind, but at this moment, he was also a little confused.

"Eh?

Payne? "

"Why are you calling me so suddenly? Is there something wrong?"

"I have just left Konoha. The mission has been completed and I am preparing to return to the Rain Hidden Village."

Chen Xiaoxi spoke calmly.

The voice fell,

Payne's heart suddenly moved slightly.

Ok?

That’s it…

He raised his eyes, glanced at the masked man and Xiaonan next to him, and said calmly:

"as always,"

"Chen Xiaoxi has completed his mission and is on his way back to Yuyin.

,"

"..."

After the words fell, the eyes of Xiaonan and the masked man moved slightly.

But they didn't show too much surprise.

after all,

In the past few years, Chen Xiaoxi has completed every mission surprisingly quickly.

Whether it is annihilating Akatsuki's enemies or supporting other members, his speed of action is the record holder in the entire organization.

Except that the mission to hunt down the traitor Orochimaru was interrupted by the appearance of the fox ghost.

He almost never fails.

Therefore,

Over the past few years, Payne and Xiaonan will gradually trust him.

And the masked man,

Although there are still suspicions in my heart, I don't want to be targeted and monitored everywhere like before.

And at this moment,

After hearing Payne's words, the masked man nodded and said calmly:

"In that case,"

"Just let him find a suitable position and wait. I will let Jue set off to meet him and bring him the intelligence information.

,"

"Let him not go back to Yugakure and just change to Iwagakure."

"……Understood."

Payne nodded, and then concentrated on the ring message again.

"..."

After a while,

Only then did Payne remove the seal from his hand, looked over calmly, and said:

"The notification has been completed."

“He said he would wait in a city called Ashina Castle in the Land of Fire. "

"Just let Jue go directly to the highest mountain there and wait for him."

"..."

The voice fell,

Xiao Nan on the side suddenly couldn't help but look slightly moved.

Ashina?

Why did she seem to have heard this name from Chen Xiaoxi before...

However, is it some kind of game?

did not expect,

Is there really a city with this name in the Land of Fire...

While she was thinking,

The masked man on the side nodded,

Then, he took out a brown secret scroll from behind him and threw it over.

"Here is Deidara's information, please bring it to him."

"it is good."

Payne took the secret scroll,
