I just returned to Konoha and found that all my clan members were gone.

"Everyone stop it!"

Xiaonan is a little bit dumb but not stupid. He knows that his purpose of giving Ye Lan a warning cannot be achieved and he will not ask for trouble.

Seeing this, Scorpion and Samehada stopped. They were quite obedient to Konan's orders, otherwise she wouldn't have called them.

Sasuke looked back at Ye Lan, and Ye Lan nodded slightly. At the same time, Sasuke put away his ninja sword.

After taking a look at the still burning Amaterasu, Sasuke retracted all of his weapons. Samehada also got rid of the erosion of the black flames. There were some bumpy burn marks on the blade, and it would probably take a while to recover.

"Come with me to see Payne."

Xiaonan's last words turned into a piece of paper without waiting for Ye Lan to react. It seemed that she had remembered what happened just now.

Ye Lan didn't care and walked at a leisurely pace, he just asked Sasuke to catch up with him. He didn't intend to hide anything from Sasuke when meeting the leader of Akatsuki.

"Pen..."

Only then did Ye Lan know the name of the leader of the Akatsuki organization. Before this, he had always claimed to be a god, but he didn't know his name.

The pronunciation of "Payne" also means pain and punishment to some extent. It is very likely to be another fake name, but it doesn't matter. It's okay as long as you see it.

If Payne still has the same ideals as before, Ye Lan believes that he will be tempted by his proposal.

Looking at Ye Lan and Sasuke walking away, Kisame said after wrapping up Samehada.

"What are these two people looking for the leader for? Will they really become our teammates?"

"Ye Lan's strength is beyond many of us. Even Sasuke can be a full member. It depends on what the leader plans to do."

Scorpion turned and left. He was not interested in anything except puppets. His purpose of joining Akatsuki was to have an environment where he would not be disturbed.

"These are not our concerns. We just need to do our own thing."

Scorpion doesn't care whether Ye Lan will become his teammate. Apart from completing the mission, he doesn't care much about the purpose of the organization.

Kisame's expression was a little conflicted. What Scorpion said was indeed correct.

But Uchiha Itachi is his teammate, and the conflict between Ye Lan and Itachi is absolutely impossible to reconcile. If Ye Lan really joins Akatsuki, then there will be a battle between him and Itachi.

As a former ANBU member of the Hidden Mist Village, Kisame should not have such extra feelings. However, after spending a long time together and having his hands stained with the blood of people close to him, Kisame has an inexplicable sense of identification with Itachi.

He doesn't want to be an enemy of Itachi as long as it doesn't affect the organization.

"Kisame, there are some things I don't need to tell you. The angel has instructed that Itachi must not know about this."

Seeing Kisame preparing to leave, Scorpion whispered that he was reminding Kisame that he was the most reliable one in Akatsuki, and Scorpion said it with kindness.

"Mr. Scorpion, I am a ninja after all, and I know the duties of a ninja..."

Kisame walked into the rain, letting the rain hit his face. He had a bad feeling.

...

"Uchiha Yelan."

Nagato knew very well about Konan's every move, but he did not interfere out of trust in his friend. In the Hidden Rain Village, nothing could be hidden from his eyes.

Reincarnation eye

Even though I had met Ye Lan once before, I would still feel pressured when I saw him again. Now that my strength has improved, the pressure has not been reduced much.

Xiaonan glanced at Sasuke who was following Ye Lan, pursed her lips and said nothing more, and silently retreated to Tiandao's side.

"Penn?"

Ye Lan tried to use this address, and indeed a hint of dissatisfaction flashed in Tiandao's eyes, although it was quickly caught by Ye Lan.

"If you keep clinging to the title of God, your ideals will never come true."

Without waiting for Tiandao to speak, Ye Lan spoke directly.

Tiandao swallowed the words he wanted to say, and after a moment of silence, he spoke directly.

"Explain your reason for coming."

Seeing that Tiandao was no longer concerned about the issue of address, Ye Lan nodded.

"Uchiha Itachi is Konoha's spy. You already know this."

"If it's just empty information, then don't say anything more. Itachi has made great contributions to Akatsuki."

Tiandao looked calm. He would not directly persecute Itachi because of such a thing.

"Heh, Akatsuki, I didn't expect you to grow to this extent after being attacked by Danzo and Hanzo together. Hanzo is probably dead a long time ago, and the real controller of Yugakure now is you, Akatsuki."

Ye Lan seemed to be saying something insignificant, but it made Xiaonan beside him open his eyes wide. How could Uchiha Ye Lan know Akatsuki's predecessor? He shouldn't have been born at that time.

"It's just a coincidence. I just admire that organization more so I chose this name."

Tiandao said calmly, as if this matter had nothing to do with them.

"I found out about this from the records Danzo left behind. It also said that there was a red-haired boy in the Akatsuki organization at that time who possessed the Rinnegan."

Ye Lan pretended to be in deep thought and paused for a while before speaking.

"If I remember correctly, his name was Nagato, and he was with an orange-haired guy who is now dead, and a blue-haired guy, which must be you."

Ye Lan pointed directly at Konan. Through Danzo's information, he had already figured out Akatsuki's past and present lives.

The only thing that doesn't match is that the one with the Rinnegan is not the red-haired one, but looks somewhat similar to Nagato's dead companion.

Xiaonan looked a little panicked, and then her expression turned somewhat vicious. She absolutely could not let Ye Lan leave Yuyin alive.

"Interesting conjectures, but these are just your inferences, and no one will believe you."

Tiandao raised his hand to stop Xiaonan. No matter what, Tiandao did not show any expression. He did not care about the past.

"What about plus this?"

Ye Lan took out a record, which was the one he had seized from Danzo's house, and it had Danzo's autograph on it.

Tiandao took it. He didn’t know what kind of record it was. He just started to read it one by one.

"This record was written by old dog Danzo himself. Some things are a bit one-sided, but it is enough to prove the facts."

Most of the records at the beginning are about Konoha. If you turn over one or two pages, you can see Danzo's plan to join forces with Hanzo to deal with Akatsuki.

Moreover, the above events made his already bad impression on Konoha even more disgusted.

The Akatsuki organization itself is a shameful rebel ninja organization. I didn't expect that the high-ranking officials of Konoha, who are powerful in a big country, are just hypocritical and do such shameful things.

For the first time, there was an expression on Tiandao's face. In a small room in the distance, the originally weak Nagato sat up straight in an instant, his two dry hands tightly grasping the handles of the wheelchair.

For a moment, I actually felt a little grateful for Ye Lan's act of killing Danzo.

"Chief... something happened to Payne."

Konan almost let the cat out of the bag, but quickly changed her words. It had been a long time since she saw Nagato unable to control his emotions.

The last time Nagato had an emotional breakdown was probably when Yahiko died.

Although this time is not as serious as the last time, it rarely happens. You know, Nagato didn't care about Orochimaru's betrayal at that time.

Ye Lan, who was standing by, heard Xiao Nan's wrong way of calling him. He glanced at Tiandao imperceptibly and found that Tiandao didn't care. Ye Lan kept this in mind.

"I admit that Akatsuki had previous connections, and I also know everything about Itachi. So what do you mean?"

With Danzo's records, Tiandao has confirmed Itachi's identity as a spy. The other party even dug out Akatsuki's predecessor. This information can only be true.

Ye Lan saw that Tiandao already believed in him. This was a good start. The corners of his mouth curled up slightly, and his goal was achieved.

"Before I tell you what I want, I want to ask you a question. Does the thing that seals the nine tailed beasts really exist?"
