Sasuke's consciousness began to blur from suffocation.
This was the first time in three years that he had been treated like this.
To be subdued in an instant...
Just before he fainted, Sasuke stared at Yuichi.
'There are... such ninja in this world!'
'I won't admit defeat, Akatsuki guy... I will definitely defeat you...'
Thud!
Sasuke fell to the ground.
Sasori recalled the Third Kazekage puppet and walked over to look at Yuichi.
"What's wrong?"
Yuichi stared at Sasuke on the ground.
"Nothing. It's just that his final gaze seemed unconvinced."
To be captured by a sneak attack and then faint. According to Sasuke's temper, it was impossible for him to be convinced.
But Sasori didn't care. "Heh! Who cares if the kid is convinced or not. Alright, my mission is complete. Let's go back!"
In terms of time, there were still two days left from the time Zero had given.
It was enough to rush back to the Akatsuki base.
Yuichi nodded.
'We'll meet again, right? Sasuke!'
'I hope you'll be stronger when we meet next time.'
The two of them walked out of the base.
After Yuichi and Sasori had dealt with the Orochimaru problem.
They immediately returned to Amegakure.
Orochimaru had been killed by Sasori in the base.
But was he?!
Although the Orochimaru here was dead, he was not completely dead.
Orochimaru was stored in the Cursed Seals on Sasuke's body.
The Cursed Seal.
When Sasuke was unconscious, Yuichi happened to see the Cursed Seal on his shoulder and neck.
Orochimaru's Cursed Seal seemed to have a similar function to the Otsutsuki clan's Kāma.
Both could take over the target's body through the seal and be resurrected!
But the effect of Orochimaru's Cursed Seal was far worse than the Kāma's.
So, when Yuichi looked at the Cursed Seal, he had a question.
Could it be that the true form of the Otsutsuki clan was a group of aliens who had mastered more advanced knowledge?!
Perhaps one day, if the shinobi world was allowed to continue developing ninjutsu.
Humans would also reach the level of the Otsutsuki clan.
But this was just a passing thought for Yuichi.
He did not continue to pay attention to it.
At this stage, increasing his strength was the most important thing.
The capture of the Two-Tails. He wondered what kind of reward it would give!
While Yuichi and Sasori were returning to Amegakure.
Yamato, along with Sakura and Sai, brought the unconscious Naruto back to Konoha.
At the same time.
Kabuto Yakushi, who was frozen on the bridge, was also taken away by Yamato.
Once brought back to Konoha, Kabuto Yakushi would definitely be severely tortured. At that time, who knows how many secrets in his mind would be exposed.
And what kind of impact it would have on the shinobi world.
On the other side, at sunset, Sasuke woke up.
He found the dead Orochimaru in the base.
Sasuke felt no sadness.
He only felt it was a pity. Orochimaru was originally an important tool for his revenge.
Now he was dead just like that.
Next, he could only rely on himself to find the Akatsuki and seek revenge on Uchiha Itachi...
The meeting between Sasuke and Naruto was also completely ruined by Yuichi's appearance.
This was probably the closest the two had been in three years.
But unfortunately, both of them were in a coma and had no chance to meet at all.
...
Two days later.
In the Akatsuki base in Amegakure.
Nagato controlled the Deva Path, codename Zero.
In a very spacious and large room.
He stood on a collapsed stone pillar.
There were puddles of water of various sizes on the ground around.
Pain raised his hands.
"We are the Akatsuki!"
"Today, all members have finally returned!"
There were ten members in the Akatsuki.
Leader Pain, codename Zero, Ring: Rei.
Akatsuki Members.
Deidara, codename Blue, Ring: Sei.
Konan, codename White, Ring: Byaku.
Uchiha Itachi, codename Vermilion, Ring: Shu.
Black and White Zetsu, codename Black, Ring: Gen.
Yuichi, codename Void, Ring: Kū.
Kisame Hoshigaki, codename South, Ring: Nan.
Kakuzu, codename North, Ring: Hoku.
Hidan, codename Three, Ring: San.
Sasori, codename Jewel, Ring: Gyoku.
Everyone wore the ring corresponding to their codename on their hands.
Kisame Hoshigaki looked at Yuichi. "You're quite capable! To actually defeat Orochimaru and take back the Kūchin ring from him."
Itachi also took a deep look at Yuichi. He also had some understanding of Orochimaru's strength.
One of the Sannin of Konoha, an absolute Kage-level ninja. Even if his hands couldn't perform ninjutsu.
Orochimaru's life-saving means were also quite formidable. Yet Yuichi and Sasori were able to kill him together.
This indeed made Itachi feel a little incredible.
Sasori's strength was not enough to kill Orochimaru. Similarly, for Orochimaru to kill Sasori, he would have to spend a lot of effort.
In fact, if he didn't prepare in advance, it would be basically impossible to kill Sasori.
But on the contrary, it was even more difficult for Sasori to kill Orochimaru.
So, in this battle, it was probably Yuichi's power that made Orochimaru powerless to resist, which was why he was killed by the two of them together!
Itachi thought.
Pain suddenly spoke at this time. "Yuichi, you are now the real Akatsuki's Kūchin. Do you want to join the mission to hunt the Two-Tails?!"
Yuichi nodded. "To be precise, I'm not joining."
Yuichi paused. "I prefer to hunt the Two-Tails alone."
As he spoke, the expression on Yuichi's face gradually became ferocious.
Pain didn't expect this expression.
A guy who was single-mindedly pursuing the thrill of battle was instead easier to control.
But on the other side, Hidan and Kakuzu, who were originally assigned to hunt the Two-Tails, didn't look so good.
Hidan had originally wanted to act with Yuichi to see if they were a good match.
But now Yuichi had directly kicked him aside.
What?
Was he looking down on him?!
"Hey! New guy, the mission to hunt the Two-Tails is my mission. If you want to join, that's fine. Why do you have to go alone!"
Hidan walked out, carrying his scythe. "Are you looking down on my strength?"
Kakuzu had always taken Sasori's warning to heart. After discovering that Yuichi was not to be trifled with, he had no intention of causing trouble with such a troublesome guy.
However, he was also a little unhappy now.
"Kid, don't think you're invincible just because you dealt with Orochimaru."
"I've seen countless powerful ninja, but in the end, they all died miserably!"
The Immortal Duo stood up at the same time to express their dissatisfaction.
In this situation, Pain did not speak to interrupt.
He silently watched the three of them.
This was the Akatsuki.
If there was a disagreement among the members, the final decision on whose opinion to adopt depended on whose fist was stronger!
Yuichi saw that Pain was silent and had no intention of speaking.
He somewhat understood.
To entrust the capture of a Tailed Beast to one person, Nagato had to see his strength.
It was just right that the Immortal Duo had stood up. It was just right to use them to test his strength, right?
Nagato should be thinking this.
Yuichi narrowed his eyes.
The corners of his mouth slowly turned up.
Seeing this expression on Yuichi, Sasori sighed. "You two idiots..."
With that, he turned and walked to a corner to sit down, preparing to watch a good show.
The others also tacitly retreated.
Leaving the three of them.
Seeing this, Hidan revealed a smile. "I've long wanted to fight you, guy. You've never taken me seriously."
"Today, I'll let you feel true pain."
"Only Lord Jashin can forgive your disrespect."
Kakuzu: "Hidan, don't make decisions on your own. I've long wanted to teach this kid a lesson too."
"Stop talking nonsense, Kakuzu. Let me go first! After I'm done with him, you can make your move!"
Yuichi narrowed his eyes and looked at the two of them.
"Why don't you come at me together? If you don't come at me together, I can't even get serious!"
