In fact, every official member of the "Akatsuki" organization knows that the ring given by the leader to represent one's identity is a very useful ninja tool.

The secret techniques that can only be used by the owner of the Samsara Eye, the Magic Lantern Body Technique and the Elephant Turn Technique, all require the symbolic ring of a formal member to provide positioning.

How could Nagato, who did not leave his home, summon his subordinates who were scattered throughout the ninja world and convey orders?

There are no mobile phones in the ninja world, let alone the Internet. It is extremely troublesome to send messages over long distances.

Those S-level rebellious ninjas are not good men and women. If Nagato lets go, it will be really difficult to take it back.

However, is it possible to reversely track members of the "Akatsuki" organization by cracking the identity ring?

It's possible in theory, but extremely difficult to do in practice.

Even though Onoki had mastered the power of a blood successor, it was impossible for him to master such a level of power.

Of course, if there is Gu Shan Bu Shui standing in the way, everything is possible.

In order to let Uchiha Itachi and Fangtu experience several more high-intensity battles, strengthen the degree of thawing of the "wedge" in their bodies, go faster and more steadily on the road to becoming stronger, and eliminate some unnecessary hidden dangers, Gu

Master Shan had also put in a lot of effort.

After trying hard to dispel Uchiha Itachi and Fengtu's wariness, A Fei continued to explain:

"The leader is also very confused about what happened not long ago. It is not completely impossible to decipher the spell hidden in the ring, but using it in reverse is problematic no matter how you think about it. That's why I asked you to come over and tell you, so as not to

Causing unnecessary misunderstandings."

This is just like the powerful Hatake Kakashi, who can easily dodge the kunai shot by genin Uchiha Sasuke, but has difficulty catching it with his bare hands and then bounce it back the same way.

It is easy to defend and destroy, but it is not a matter of skill to retaliate in the same way.

Being able to do this, it can be confirmed that the mastermind behind the scenes has reached an extremely advanced level in understanding the Samsara Eye and Yin-Yang Escape. Even if he is not as good as the leader Nagato, he can still put many magical applications into practice.

In this regard, Nagato and Konan's first suspect was the mysterious man who called himself Uchiha Madara, but there was no evidence and could not be confirmed.

It makes people feel worried when they think that there are malicious prying eyes behind the low-key "Akatsuki" organization.

"Can you tell me your experiences along the way in detail so that I can explain it to the leader?"

A Fei said very frankly,

"After all, you don't want to let go of the mysterious enemy who tricked you, right?"

Jiangtu responded impatiently:

"That's the next step. I just want to know, has the problem been solved now? Don't let the enemy come to your door again..."

"Don't worry, the leader has found the loophole in the technique, and there won't be another time. In fact, the opponent can only confirm the vague action route based on the vague positioning, and the Iwa Ninja pursuers and Onoki arrived late.

, that’s why.”

"What about the mission of searching for Deidara and waiting for an opportunity to rescue him? Now it's obvious that he has been alerted and can't proceed."

Not to mention sneaking into Iwagakure Village, it is even difficult to get close.

Regardless of whether you use illusions, transformations or simple disguises, the basis for penetration is that the enemy's defense is not tight enough.

Now, there are very vigilant rock ninjas patrolling everywhere in the sky and on the ground. Anyone suspicious will be subject to extremely strict interrogation. There is little hope of successfully sneaking in, finding Deidara, or even rescuing him.

"Actually, it's not just you who have encountered problems. Even the rescue of the Crimson Sand Scorpion in Hidden Sand Village didn't go very smoothly."

Whether it was Nagato or Konan, they both felt like they were being led by someone's nose. Every time they tried, they would bump into the iron plate unconsciously.

If it hadn't been for Fangtu and Uchiha Itachi who had been away on official business, traveling around and not exposed to the real secrets, Nagato and Konan would have regarded them as traitors and punished them.

"Is it possible that Deidara and the Red Sand Scorpion have betrayed the organization and proactively provided them with our intelligence, so they encountered targeted countermeasures?"

After hearing this, A Fei replied:

"It's possible, but it's unlikely. With their nature, it's impossible for them to care about old friendships and betray the organization's secrets."

"But we can't completely rule out the possibility, right?"

Jiang Tu asked, and A Fei had to spread his hands to express his agreement.

"No one can deny that, so we have to rescue them as soon as possible. Of course, it is definitely not possible now. The leader's intention is that you retreat to the Country of Grass and the Country of Taki for a while, and then come back to gather information after the storm has passed.

.”

Not only Iwagakure Village, but also Sand Hidden Village is in a similar situation.

It was impossible for Nagato to fight two great ninja villages just to rescue two subordinates who had no idea how loyal they were.

The Samsara Eye and the Heretic Golem were almost draining Nagato's body, especially as Pain's Six Paths were gradually put into use, Nagato became more and more cautious about the use of power.

Every opportunity to attack with all your strength must be used at a critical moment. At least one tailed beast must be sealed to make up for the shortfall in the body.

"The country of grass, the country of Taki?"

Jiangtu couldn't help but sneer,

"Why don't we go to Kawa no Kuni, and Takato and Hidan go to Taki no Kuni?"

"This is what the leader wants. I'm just a messenger. It's up to you whether you listen or not."

A Fei shrugged nonchalantly.

The northern buffer zone concentrates most of the energy of the Kumo ninja, Iwa ninja and Konoha ninja. The forces are complex and the local forces are not weak. The Grass Ninja Village is like a wall of grass. If you are ruthless, you can pull out dozens of bluffing people.

Here comes the jounin; Taki ninja has a profound background, even tailed beasts; next door is the sound ninja village where Orochimaru is entrenched.

Every time I take it out, it is not a fuel-efficient lamp.

The south side is much simpler. It is a tradition for Konoha ninjas to value the north over the south. Sand ninjas cannot go to the sea, and fog ninjas cannot go ashore. When the Rain Country is a friendly force, it is obviously much easier to stay in the Kawa Country, which is much easier than in the north.

Comfortable.

After scanning the faces of the two people opposite him, A Fei sneered:

"Now, does Jiang Tu have the final say in your team? It seems that they are too harmonious. When more members join, do you want to re-form?"

Uchiha Itachi, who had been silent all this time, frowned and asked dissatisfiedly:

"Is this something that you, a quasi-official member, can interrupt?"

"Of course... no, I just feel weird, don't worry about it. Then, let's stop here. I hope you can take care of yourself and don't betray the trust that the leader has placed in you."

As he spoke, Ah Fei slowly backed away and disappeared into the shadows.

After the strange chakra completely disappeared, Fengtu lowered his guard, shrugged, and said to Uchiha Itachi:

"It seems that the failure of Deidara and the Red Sand Scorpion has broken the balance in the organization, and people are scattered. I don't know if the leader can improve the situation."

"Um!"

"Let's rest for a while and recover our strength and chakra. Let's go to the Country of Grass to settle down?"

Agreeing to the suggestion of surrender, Uchiha Itachi sat on the stone bench and closed his eyes to fall asleep.

The dark underground cave became quiet again.

…

In Konoha Village, late autumn has passed for a long time, but the first snow of the year has not yet arrived.

The weather this year is indeed a bit abnormal. The summer is not too hot, the winter is not too cold, and the rainy season lasts a bit short. However, there are many cloudy days, a slightly arid climate, and not enough sunlight. This year, the food of the Fire Nation is a bit poor.

Production has been reduced, and cash crops such as sugar cane, sugar beet, palm oil and other bulk consumer goods have increased to varying degrees.

An uneventful year has passed, and the Konoha ninjas who have worked hard to make money have also reaped a pretty good year.

The workload is large, the remuneration is generous, and the big sponsor is someone like the Furusugi family who is not short of money. They never default on the final payment, making everyone in Konoha Village very satisfied with this collaborator.

Even though the annual accounts were closed, no savings were left behind. Most of them were swallowed up by the rising expenses such as food, clothing, housing and transportation. Some residential buildings with high construction quality were also left behind. In addition to the hot sales and high-quality "one-family buildings" that were sold out as soon as they opened, a large number of

Street shops are either rented or sold, and they have made a great contribution to the prosperity of Konoha Village.

Being able to make money has also made all parties feel that they have not suffered a loss. In addition to the economic development, investment assistance, infrastructure development and other models designed by Gushan Bushui, he also has excellent execution, outstanding ability and long-sleeved skills.

for the sake of.

It was another slightly cool morning. Accompanied by a fishing fire, Xiang Rin, who was on vacation, and Katsura Haruki stood at the top of a high-rise hotel on the main road opposite the gate of Konoha Village, observing what was going on outside.

For this man who was over forty, still handsome, and more and more energetic recently, Xianglin knew that he was a relative of her family. However, her mother did not explain the specific relationship between the two parties in detail, and it was not easy for Xianglin to ask more questions.

"Just ask me to take care of you. It's not a good time to get married when you're away from home."

"Okay, Gui Guanling."

Xianglin is not entangled either. Looking back over the past year, she is eleven years old in the middle of the year. After experiencing so much, she also knows a little about the principles of getting along with acquaintances in the family who have secrets.

"Father, I rarely come to Konoha Village during this season. After all, the winter on Yuqi Island is more comfortable."

"Yeah! In fact, many Inaba people don't really like the cold and humid air in Konoha Village, and I'm no exception. I'm used to living on the southeastern coast, so it's normal to not like the inland climate where the body temperature is extremely low..."

If you are a ninja, you don't care about this change in climate. The situation is different for most mortals who do not have extraordinary power to protect their bodies.

"My father once said that children are not suitable for traveling around frequently. They are weak and sickly and can easily get sick due to acclimatization."

"Ha ha……"

Gui Zhiji couldn't help laughing and said,

"This is a worry that only people who have reached a certain level have. In today's ninja world, most civilians are tied to the land, and it is impossible to travel far away frequently. If there are no accidents, they will live in the countryside for the rest of their lives.
