Chapter 1054: Voting

A day later, in the Land of Fire, Akatsuki Base.

Lights flickered in the room.

The underground base was in semi darkness.

Su Xiao, Obito, and Deidara were sitting around a stone table.

— The rescue plan worked well, but there's something I'm interested in-Obito was wearing black gloves, and his fingers were tapping rhythmically on the stone table. — Byakuya, the third Tsuchikage was in an underground prison. How did you save Deidara?

Deidara was a little surprised when he heard Obito's words. — You fought an old man?

— I almost died from his dust technique. As for how I saved Deidara, the third Tsuchikage slipped, and while he was getting up, I saved Deidara.

Of course, Su Xiao wouldn't say that Deidaru was saved by Bubtni. Right now, he and Obito were partners, but sooner or later their paths would diverge.

— Oonoki... Obito's expression didn't look very pretty under the mask.

He certainly didn't believe Su Xiao's nonsense.

As the three of them chatted, a mummy slowly approached them.

— Who is it? New member? Deidara asked doubtfully.

He thought that this mummy was a new member.

— Ahem, it's Sasuke, " Obito replied, still looking at Su Xiao intently.

— You seem to be getting better already, " Su Xiao said after looking at Sasuke.

He pulled out faster than he expected.

— … — Sasuke said nothing. He didn't want to see Su Xiao again, not now or in the near future. One dreadful memory was now permanently etched in his mind, but he was very brave, for he never swore during the operation, even though he shouted incessantly for several days afterwards.

— Waiting? Kisame asked and walked over to the table.

The girl was right behind him.

Apart from Zetsu, who was currently gathering information, all the Akatsuki members were gathered around the table.

They wanted to decide if they should have accepted Rose into the Akatsuki ranks.

If Nagato was still alive, new members wishing to join Akatsuki would only need to get his consent, but now that Obito had become the leader of Akatsuki, he would not be able to repeat Nagato's success, as he did not have enough authority, and his Madara identity was in question, as he always wore a black hat. the mask.

Only Nagato and Kisame saw his appearance, but not Su Xiao.

He knew about his real identity from the original work.

— The facts proved that a headstrong leader like Nagato couldn't bring us to a victorious end, so I decided to implement a voting system. To make and approve a decision, you need to get more than half of the votes, this time we will discuss the accession of a new member.

Obito's choice was very tricky. He could see that Su Xiao was somewhat disgusted with this girl named Rose, but Obito didn't want to offend Kisame, so he decided to arrange a vote.

If more than half of the " Yes "votes are gathered, they will accept it.

— Senior Byakuya seems to be very unfriendly to me, " Rose, who was sitting next to Kisame, suddenly said as her eyes that were like black gems blinked.

Su Xiao understood what she meant by this gesture.

She asked him not to interfere and let her join the Akatsuki.

In fact, Su Xiao had no intention of interfering with her. He didn't feel anything special about her, but the strange feeling couldn't leave him when he saw her.

Looking at her, he felt as if he was looking at himself in the past. She had a hatred in her heart that she had carefully hidden, a hatred that could only be born out of a desire for revenge.

In the past, Su Xiao became a murderer because of his desire for revenge, but because his path to revenge was very complicated, after learning the whole truth, he doubted his life.

The skills that had been honed for the sake of carrying out revenge all this time couldn't be used for their intended purpose, but they provided Su Xiao with a great advantage in the Reincarnation Paradise.

And now, seeing the Rose, Su Xiao felt as if he was seeing himself going to carry out his revenge.

She didn't give off the slightest murderous intent. She only wanted to tear her target to pieces.

Su Xiao didn't know who exactly Rose's target was, but he wouldn't let such a time bomb go unnoticed.

All this was told to him by his intuition, but Rose was too good at pretending, and she and Kisame had a good relationship, which caused some problems.

— So, let's start voting, " Obito said and looked around at everyone present.

Kisame was the first to say, " I'm in favor of joining.".

— Support. Obito was obviously willing to accept anyone who came to them and asked to be a part of Akatsuki, and he was in dire need of any power right now.

— I object, " Su Xiao said. He certainly didn't want such a strange girl to become a part of Akatsuki. Right now Akatsuki was a stable organization and its goals were almost achieved.

— Deidara, of course, supported Su Xiao. They had been friends for a long time and their relationship was on a level above that of Obito and Kisame.

Two people were in favor, two people were against.

Sasuke's choice will be crucial.

— I'm against.

To everyone's surprise, Sasuke turned her down.

— Your goal puzzles me, but my voice doesn't matter anyway.

Hearing these words, Su Xiao looked at Sasuke in surprise.

This guy seemed to have gotten a lot smarter in the last couple of days.

Sasuke was right. Even if Rose won the majority of votes, she wouldn't be able to join Akatsuki.

As for why Sasuke voted against it, he simply didn't want to be splattered with blood.

Although Sasuke was young and sometimes reckless, he wasn't all that stupid.

— Unfortunately, we won't get a new member, " Obito said, and Su Xiao and Deidara looked at Rose, while Kisame didn't say anything.

— I'm sorry, " Kisame said for some reason.

In fact, it was very simple. Since Rose had entered the Akatsuki base, she could either join Akatsuki or die in it.

— Seniors, I've come all this way to join you, but you want to kill me? Of course, I can't stop you, but if the other rebels find out about this, what will they think?

Rose clearly wasn't going to sit back and wait for death.

If she were to fight someone from Akatsuki one - on-one, then she felt that she could win, but if Su Xiao and Deidara joined forces, then there was definitely nothing she could do.

Besides, Obito's attitude was still unclear. Kisame probably wouldn't help her. As for Sasuke Uchiha, he could be ignored altogether, as he was currently a mummy. If he dared join in the fun, she would show him why the Roses were so red.

The atmosphere in the room became tense, but what Rose said made sense.

If Akatsuki kills her for no reason, and if it becomes known, it will become very difficult for Akatsuki to recruit and recruit Shinobi.

Su Xiao didn't care, but Obito did.

He wanted to use the full power of Akatsuki to achieve his goal.

— Byakuya, I've sensed from the very beginning that you're somewhat hostile towards Rose. State the reason.

— I agree, if I die like this, it would be too unfair.

Rose seemed to be fighting for her life, but in reality, she was having fun.
