Chapter 1045: Fortunately, no one heard this
When Su Xiao first saw this employee, the first thing he thought about was that she wasn't very strong.
Given her affinity with Kisame, the reason why she joined Akatsuki was simple — she just wanted to gain a bit of advantage through her auxiliary abilities.
This kind of cooperation was quite common. Strong characters were an obvious choice for solo employees, and given that contractors and employees knew many of the characters from the derived worlds very well, you could immediately choose a "good" or "evil" character.
— Let's not discuss this. We need to hurry, it might explode at any time, " Su Xiao suddenly said, clearly referring to Deidara, and he said it right now because of this new girl.
Obito immediately understood what Su Xiao meant.
— I agree, we need to deal with this case first.
— Kisame said, and then fell silent. He didn't know yet that Deidara was taken alive, but he quickly understood what Su Xiao meant. — I've been chasing this octopus for too long and now I want to rest. As for joining it, we'll talk about it later.
Kisame didn't ask Su Xiao and the others if his guesses were correct, because he knew that now wasn't the right time to do so.
Su Xiao and the others went to the exit.
The girl looked at Su Xiao in disbelief. She didn't expect Su Xiao's status in Akatsuki to be so high. His status was evident from Obito and Kisame's reactions.
— Seniors, please allow me to introduce myself. My name is Rose, " Rose said as she beamed and waved at Su Xiao and the others.
In the past, she was a rather aggressively dressed woman, but now she looked very young and her clothes and temperament were completely different.
If she had looked like a killer before, now she looked like an innocent flower.
Rose's greatest strength wasn't her strength, but her ability to change her own temperament. Even if her hands were stained with blood, her smile and eyes would still be bright and beautiful.
Su Xiao stopped and squinted at Rose.
He felt that there was something wrong with her.
— Employee… Joined the Akatsuki, " Su Xiao muttered. He didn't know yet how close this girl was to Kisame, but there was no doubt about it, otherwise Kisame wouldn't have recommended her.
— What happened? Obito asked, noticing that Su Xiao had stopped walking.
— Nothing, " Su Xiao replied and left the base.
Right now, he wasn't ready to pay attention to this girl. No matter what her goal was, if she was really up to something bad, as long as she was in Akatsuki, Su Xiao had plenty of ways to deal with her, and her closeness to Kisame wouldn't help her at all.
Su Xiao was now considered an Akatsuki veteran. If he and Kisame have a disagreement, Obito will likely remain neutral.
If Deidara was saved, Rose wouldn't be able to join Akatsuki no matter what her goal was.
Although she wasn't too suspicious, Su Xiao had many enemies, which was why he always kept his eyes open.
After Su Xiao and the others left, Kisame and Rose advanced deeper into the base. Kisame went to rest, tired, and Rose sat down at the stone table and rested her chin on her hands.
— I feel like something went wrong. Why do I feel like I'm going to be kicked out the door? Rose's bright black eyes narrowed. At first, she thought that Su Xiao was just an ordinary Akatsuki member, but now it turned out that wasn't the case.
— I'll watch for a while and find a suitable opportunity. Of course, as the little girl said, I'm really at the level of an elementary school student in the field of creating plans. I feel more and more that the more I think, the more stupid I get.
Rose eventually decided to abandon all her grandiose plans and decided to be simple and blunt. That was her style, and that was her advantage.
She could understand in time whether her actions were correct, and because of this, she could adjust to the situation in time.
— Before we leave this world, either you or I will die. Well, that's the wisest choice. If I walk around in circles, I'll die, " Rose muttered, her heart feeling much lighter.
Right now, she was admiring one of her friends. She was so good at making plans… As for her, the only thing she was good at was killing people.
— Of course, sacrificing one's age was very stupid. What the hell was I thinking at that moment? Fortunately, no one heard it. That would be so embarrassing, " Rose said and chuckled, and the base fell dead silent.
Only occasionally did Sasuke Uchiha's howl from the operating room roll through the base.
----
Two days later, in the Rain Country.
Dark clouds obscured the sun, the sky was plunged into darkness, and muffled rumbles of thunder could be heard from time to time.
Mud and water kept flying up due to the group's movement.
In Rain Country, it rained 70% of the time, causing water and slush everywhere.
Su Xiao and the group passed through the Land of Fire and arrived at the Rain Country, which bordered the Land of Fire. On the east of the Rain Country was the border with the Fire Country, and on the west was the border with the Earth Country.
Su Xiao and the group's destination was in the territory of the Earth Country, and now their path was practically straight.
Even though a large number of Konoha Shinobi were currently in the Rain Country, it didn't bother Su Xiao and his group in any way. As long as they didn't get close to Hidden Rain Village, the probability of meeting Konoha's shinobi was practically zero.
Progress towards the goal was a bit boring. During the journey, Zetsu would occasionally appear and report to Obito about the situation with Deidara or the current situation of the five great Shinobi villages.
In total, he conveyed three important news at this moment.
1. Hidden Cloud Village chose a new Raikage that was said to be very young.
2. The civil war in Hidden Mist Village broke out again, but with the mediation of Hidden Sand Village and Konoha, it quickly subsided, after which a new Mizukage was elected. He is the elder of Hidden Mist Village and an old fox who was no worse than Danzo.
3. Tsunade, the fifth Hokage of Konoha, recovered from her injuries and resumed her position as Hokage. Considering that she was a descendant of the Senju clan, this was not surprising. In fact, she recovered a long time ago, but due to Danzo taking her place, she decided to retire for a while, but now that Danzo is dead, she has become Hokage again.
It should be noted that the five main shinobi villages reacted very quickly. Three Kage were killed in one day, but in just two days, they stabilized the situation. This was exactly what Su Xiao had hoped to see. If they hadn't chosen a new Kage, they would have ended up getting bogged down in internal squabbles and he might have forgotten about completing the mission..
However, the strange thing was that there was no evidence of the existence of a new Raikage. After all, once a new Kage appeared, everyone knew about him in a few hours, but this time, even after two days, all that was known about him was that he was very young, but he was still not to be underestimated.
After all, Hidden Mist Village also had another name — " Blood Mist Village».
If a civil war had broken out in it, absolutely everyone would have heard about it long ago.
Konoha hasn't moved much yet. The village hadn't been rebuilt yet, not to mention the hidden dangers left behind by Danzo, which were enough to give Tsunade a bad headache.
But judging from the current situation, the war was just around the corner.
This was good news for Su Xiao, but bad news for Obito. The strength he had accumulated at this point wasn't enough to fight a war with the five main shinobi villages.
After three days of traveling, the group arrived in the Land of Earth.
