"Now that Konoha is fatigued, Hidden Cloud and Hidden Rock are secretly amassing power, Hidden Sand Village is licking its wounds, but the upcoming era will be relatively more peaceful, and the strength of the four Ninja Villages will gradually recover and develop. Akatsuki also took advantage of this gap to undergo a major transformation, even though they do not pose a major threat right now, they cannot be completely ignored."
Yagura said this.
"What do you plan to do?"
Hakushi asked.
Yagura took out a document he was carrying and handed it to Hakushi.
Hakushi picked up the document, opened it, and began to read it.
It recorded detailed information about several ninjas, all elite ninjas of Hidden Mist Village.
And all these elite Hidden Mist ninjas have one thing in common...they were formerly ninjas of the Hidden Mist Blood Mist Faction, later released and recruited by Yagura.
Their loyalty should not be an issue. Before presenting this document, Yagura had already conducted a thorough investigation and multiple reviews to confirm their loyalty to Hidden Mist Village.
"I see, you want to plant a mole within Akatsuki, don't you?"
After reading the document, Hakushi immediately understood Yagura's intention.
Yagura wouldn't take out such confidential information for him to read without a deeper intention.
With further cooperation, some spies between the Land of Demons and Hidden Mist Village have actually connected, in other words, shared information.
Of course, these connected spies are extremely reliable and few in number, but are responsible for the important work of information transfer.
If Yagura wasn't forced by the noble hierarchy of the Land of Water, he wouldn't have made this decision so quickly.
The painful lessons of the Blood Mist are vivid in his mind, making Yagura no longer place any trust in the noble hierarchy of the Land of Water.
Trust needs years and months to maintain, while losing trust often takes just a moment.
"You know more about Akatsuki than I do, who do you think is suitable to send in?"
Yagura did not deny Hakushi's viewpoint, he indeed wanted to plant his own mole inside Akatsuki.
He calmly took a sip of tea and asked for Hakushi's opinion.
Hakushi thought for a moment and then gave an answer.
He placed the document on the tea table in front of him, his finger pressing on the topmost sheet of paper, saying: "This person."
Hoshigaki Kisame.
This was who Hakushi thought would be the most effective mole.
A former Blood Mist Faction ninja, not well-liked in Hidden Mist Village, and had a bad habit of betraying former superiors, all his misdeeds indicate that he's an unruly, dangerous figure in Hidden Mist Village, with many suspecting his loyalty.
When the time comes and his wings are full, if he does something damaging to Hidden Mist Village's interests, betraying the village to become a renegade ninja will come naturally and won't arouse suspicion.
Most importantly, he is one of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen, and according to Yagura's evaluation in the document, his strength surpasses that of the previous Great Sword Shark Skin wielder, Suikazan Fuguki. His Chakra amount is among the top within the tens of thousands of Hidden Mist ninjas.
Once he becomes a renegade, his abilities are sufficient to be classified as an S-Class Renegade Ninja.
In line with Akatsuki's nature, they will recruit highly skilled ninjas as core members, and they will definitely target Kisame, an S-Class Renegade Ninja, recruiting him into Akatsuki to execute the Tailed Beast capture plan.
Kisame's cautious and calm personality is also highly suitable for this task.
"It's the same as I thought, I also personally lean towards having Kisame enter Akatsuki to prepare for future wars."
Since Akatsuki's power is unknown, it's better to explore their real strength sooner rather than later, to prevent being caught off guard when war suddenly breaks out.
"Then let's settle it this way."
Hakushi nodded.
The Land of Demons is unable to spare suitable personnel; many departments need management, and in the end, it's a shortage of manpower.
With the rise of various industries in the Land of Demons, the workforce required is gradually increasing, naturally making the current manpower tight.
"Yes, let's finalize it like this. You heard that, didn't you, Kisame?"
Yagura said this.
After he spoke, a puddle of water appeared on the ground behind Yagura, unnoticed until now, and the water began to form into the shape of a tall male figure.
With deep blue skin and a shark-like face, he carried a large sword wrapped in a white bandage on his back, he grinned with sharp teeth, lightly chuckling.
"I heard."
War once again, and something about being a spy in Akatsuki, to be honest, the content really piqued his interest.
A mysterious ally had always been at Yagura's side, a fact not secret among the higher-ups of Hidden Mist Village.
But since this ally is truly elusive and Yagura's confidentiality is very thorough, they have never really understood who Yagura's true ally was, who assisted Yagura during the coup.
Thus, Kisame felt quite surprised to follow Yagura and hide his traces to the Land of Demons this time, but soon he understood.
Yagura had engaged in deep cooperation with the Land of Demons long ago.
"Then, I entrust Kisame to you for the time being. How about six months?"
Yagura stood up from his seat.
"Six months is enough, training him isn't the issue, you need to plan a reasonable defection story for him, Akatsuki's intelligence and investigation member, White Zetsu, has sharp eyes and ears, the fewer people know, the better."
