Forced to sell misery

-

As soon as he walked out of the building, his face was covered with whistling sand. Jing Ye put on his hat numbly and looked at Kimimaro who had been standing in the wind and sand waiting for him until now, with mixed feelings.

With his half-baked medical ninjutsu, he could only temporarily delay Kimimaro's condition but not cure it.

If his speculation was correct, Kimimaro's blood disease was caused by the fact that the power of the Corpse Bone Vein was developed to the extreme, triggering the Corpse Bone Vein's characteristic similar to the "Mutual Killing Gray Bones" that could kill anyone who touched them, causing the body to be unable to withstand the overly powerful force and collapse.

So in the short term he could only find ways to continuously stimulate the activity of Kimimaro's body cells in order to slow down the speed of Kimimaro's physical collapse.

But this is not a long-term solution after all... No matter how special he is, Kimimaro still belongs to the category of human beings, and human cells will eventually stop dividing and regenerating and lose their activity.

Actually, Kimimaro's blood disease is easy to treat, but it is also difficult to treat...

There is only this one member of the Hyuga clan left now. If other surviving members of the Hyuga clan provide samples for him to study, perhaps he can find a breakthrough.

Pity……

No, he suddenly felt that his thoughts were a little dangerous and were approaching the direction of Orochimaru. Jing Ye was in a state of panic.

Really, he even wanted to get some of the First Hokage's Wood Release Cells to study.

Wood Release Cells is really a bug.

Orochimaru must have it, but he feels that he shouldn't be able to figure out something that Orochimaru hasn't been able to figure out after all these years.

Obito also has it. Half of this guy's body is made of Wood Release Cells... After thinking about it, I'd better forget it. This guy will definitely over-think things if I know he wants Wood Release Cells.

How about catching a White Zetsu and studying it?

Although White Zetsu is strictly speaking a creation of the Outer Path Demon Statue, it can also provide Wood Release Cells.

The reason he gave to Obito was very simple, he just felt annoyed with that guy so he caught him and killed him... or something like that.

Although it may arouse suspicion, Obito won't attack him just because he captured a White Zetsu, right?

Hmm...it's worth considering.

Just as Jing Ye's thoughts were wandering, he heard a shout from behind him.

"Lord Jingye!"

A familiar-looking Sunagakure ANBU caught up with them, "Please... please wait a moment."

"What's the matter?" Jing Ye stopped.

"you……"

Looking at Jing Ye hesitantly, the Sand Village Anbu swallowed hard and said nervously, "Aren't you going to meet Lord Gaara?"

It can be seen that this Sand Village Anbu was one of the ones who had "looked after" his and Gaara's lives in the past.

At that time, these people were still very caring towards him.

What's more, he just followed Obito away... Even though he said goodbye to Gaara, he was the one who hurt the child in the end.

"No,"

The scene of Luo Sha's death seemed to appear before his eyes again. Jing Ye closed his eyes and really didn't know how to face Gaara.

"Let's go, Kimimaro."

-

"You did a great job on that matter in Wave Country."

"..."What's wrong with this tone of coaxing a child?

"Chief, where is our Lady Jade, Scorpion?" Rubbing the ring on his hand, Jing Ye suppressed his urge to complain and asked directly and crisply.

"What's wrong?" The voice on the other end paused.

"If you don't tell me the reason, I won't tell you Scorpion's whereabouts."

Jing Ye rolled his eyes silently.

Yes, our little friend Jing Ye had no sense of shame for betraying his teammates, and was even shameless enough to ask Pain directly about Scorpion's news.

"Then I'll go find Juewen Ah Fei!"

There was a sudden and strange silence over there.

Jing Ye sighed tiredly. If he had known earlier, he would not have let Obito transfer Zetsu away...

Although that guy is indeed annoying, it couldn't be more convenient to get information from him.

Oh yes, he had previously thought about catching a White Zetsu to study.

"The Kingdom of Water."

In the end, Payne hurriedly said this and unilaterally cut off contact.

It’s the Land of Water again... I always feel that Kirigakure is unilateral and doesn’t like him very much.

Jing Ye's face was filled with black lines. Can you dare to expand the range a little more? !

Without giving him a chance to ask in detail, Payne simply and unilaterally cut off contact. Really...

Jing Ye rolled his eyes speechlessly and said angrily, "Kimimaro, let's go to the Land of Water!"

-

Rain Country

Central tower.

"Nagato, you know, Uchiha Kagamiya is Madara..." Konan looked at Pain, wanting to say something but stopping herself.

"Barata indulges Uchiha Kagamiya."

Letting the raindrops fall on his body, Payne raised his head and looked at the rainy sky, his indifferent eyes devoid of any extra emotions.

"As for Scorpion..." Payne also had a headache. Moreover, he also got some other news. "Let's contact him."

After connecting with Scorpion and Deidara, Pein said expressionlessly,

"Recently, a ninja village called Otogakure was born. Orochimaru is likely related to the establishment of this village. You go and investigate secretly."

"Heh, that guy is really good at doing things behind the scenes." Having been partners for a while, Scorpion obviously knows Orochimaru very well, which is one of the reasons why he hates that guy. Of course, the main reason is that he doesn't like him.

"I'll go get him!" The enthusiastic kid Deidara said excitedly, "Use explosion!"

He was getting bored to death from following Scorpion on bounty missions all the time.

Originally, these were the tasks of the Immortal Duo, but Uchiha Kagamiya occupied the stronghold of the wealthy businessman Cardo in the Land of Waves and incorporated his assets into the name of Akatsuki.

Uchiha Kagamiya claimed that he had no interest in Cardo's industry, and his partner Kisame didn't know much about it, so he only took over temporarily.

Akatsuki's financial director Kakuzu naturally took over the matters over there and took Hidan to Wave Country, and the bounty mission in their hands naturally fell to the artistic duo.

Scorpion didn't care, but Deidara had absolutely no feelings about killing people, and instead wanted to show off his art all the time.

It's boring anyway, so I might as well go after Orochimaru. At least that man is quite interesting and can easily provoke Scorpion.

"I told you it's a secret investigation," Scorpion said that taking care of children is really tiring, as he was very dissatisfied with Deidara always talking about art.

"..."

Payne didn't really want to hear these two people bickering, and said with a headache,

"Uchiha Jingye may also interfere with this mission."

"That guy?" Scorpion narrowed his eyes, "It just so happens that I have something to do with him..."

One of Sunagakure's hidden subordinates died, and it seems that this guy has something to do with it.

After making sure that the mission could be carried out smoothly, Payne disconnected.

Compared to the Immortal Duo led by Kakuzu who are always thinking about making money, and the overly casual Zhunan combination, the Art Duo is relatively obedient to organizational discipline and is less of a worry.

Just then, a furry red head popped out from the corner and whispered,

"Sister Xiaonan?"

"come in."

Turning around, Konan saw Karin peeking in and waved to her.

"Sister Xiaonan!"

She ran over and hugged Xiaonan, carefully raised her head and looked at Pein. Karin quickly lowered her head and buried it in Xiaonan's arms, and said in a muffled voice,

"I have learned all the ninjutsu that Sister Konan taught me."

"Um,"

Putting his hands on the top of Karin's hair and rubbing it, Konan couldn't help but soften his brows and asked with a smile,

"Pein isn't very fierce, why is Karin so scared of him?"

"No, no!"

Denying awkwardly, Karin raised her head and looked at Konan with her sparkling, expectant eyes.

"Any news about Brother Jingye? When will he come back?"

"It still needs a little time."

Konan spoke gently, stroking Karin's hair and pausing for a moment.

"What? I clearly said I'd be back soon!" Karin grumbled in dissatisfaction, and quickly regained her bright and beautiful look, "Hey, Sister Konan, teach me some more ninjutsu."

"Don't be too hasty in learning ninjutsu. Karin, you've worked very hard."

"But that's not enough. I must become very strong, so that I can be with Brother Jingye, Sister Xiaonan and..." Glancing at Pein quietly, Karin lowered her voice.

"And a powerful ninja who is on par with Master Pain, becoming a full member of Akatsuki!"

"Ah."

Xiaonan fiddled with the origami in her hand, and soon, a beautiful rose appeared in her hand.

Gently pinning the paper flower next to Karin's red hair, Konan smiled slightly and said, "Go ahead."

Karin left happily with the white paper rose.

"Karin was also sent by Madara. You are not on guard against her."

Payne smiled and glanced at Konan.

Xiaonan was stunned for a moment.

She looked at Pein, or rather Yahiko's face, and saw him smiling again, slightly dazed.

But that smiling young man will never come back, and Nagato... has too much to bear.

She had never seen Nagato smile since Yahiko left.

Perhaps they are all used to facing everything with a cold, hard and powerful image, being the gods revered by everyone in the Rain Kingdom and the stern angels.

"There is a mysterious client."

The ground rippled like water, and a pitcher plant-like thing popped up. Looking at the silent Payne and Konan, it did not feel embarrassed at all for disturbing others, and added slowly in its usual tone,

"He's a guest from Sunagakure."

Sunagakure?

What do the people from Sunagakure want to do with Akatsuki?

After exchanging a glance with Pein, Xiaonan nodded, "I'll go and try it out."
