Chapter 526: The Ring
But although the difficulty of the world was greatly increased, such an increase was not without some advantages.
[Notification: Hunter joined Akatsukiya, the faction shop was opened.]
Current number of contribution points: 0.]
[The hunter can open a faction shop and buy the offered items for contribution points.]
[Since the Akatsuki faction is a neutral-chaotic faction, the level of relations was fixed at a friendly-neutral level with no possibility of further improvement.]
[The hunter will need to be careful. Any suspicious action will cause Akatsuki members to attack you.]
As one of the strongest factions in the Naruto world, Akatsuki of course had a faction shop, something like the shop that the Ghoul Control Office had in the Tokyo Ghoul world.
The faction shop was located in Hidden Rain Village and Su Xiao immediately found out about its specific location. As for getting contribution Points, you obviously had to complete Akatsuki's tasks to get them.
After Su Xiao joined Akatsuki, Konan left the room and returned after a while, holding a cloak with the famous red clouds and a ring.
— We don't have many rules. Everyone must wear these cloaks when completing tasks, and this ring must not be removed under any circumstances.
Su Xiao took the cloak and put it on himself, then picked up the ring and placed it on his palm.
There was nothing special about this ring, except for its blue color and the inscription in the form of " Void».
In the past, it was owned by Orochimaru, but recently it became free.

Akatsuki members were scattered all over the world and generally didn't stay in Hidden Rain Village. Nagato used these rings to collect Akatsuki members.
And not only for the sake of important meetings, but also for the sake of issuing certain missions.
In addition, with the help of this ring, it was possible to determine the position of another owner of the ring..
This ring was equivalent to a phone with GPS. Without them, the Akatsuki members wouldn't be able to keep in touch.
— I see, " Su Xiao replied and put the ring on his right finger. His left hand was wrapped in an armband, making it impossible to put the ring on his left hand. - so... What's next?
He just joined Akatsuki, and they would definitely ask him to pass the " exam».
— Go find your partners.
— Partners? Su Xiao was a little confused. Right now, there were three groups in Akatsuki, and all of these three groups consisted of two people.
The first group was Itachi and Kisame's group, the second was Sasori and Deidara's group, and the third was Kakuzu and Hidan's group.
— Yes, they are in the Land of Rivers.
The Land of Rivers was located between the Land of Fire and the Land of Wind. It was a medium-sized country that didn't compete with the rest of the world. Since she was located at the border of the Fire Country, she decided to restrain the Wind Country and prevent her from entering the Fire Country's territory right away.
The Fire Country naturally wouldn't allow other countries to attack the River Country for such help.
Su Xiao didn't ask much. If there were Akatsuki members in the River Country, he would be able to sense them with this ring, but he was curious to know who his new partners were.
That was the end of the negotiations. Su Xiao seemed to have become an official member of Akatsuki, but that wasn't quite the case. Conan added him to the two-man group.
The meaning of her action was obvious — she decided to arrange for Su Xiao to be followed with the help of two other shinobi.
Although Su Xiao had joined them, they needed to at least observe him for a little while.
Conan got up and left the room, and as she reached the door, a sudden thought occurred to her. "By the way, you can't let the information leak. Also, be careful with your two partners, don't let them kill you, " Conan said, then sighed and left the room.
Akatsuki originally had many "outside" members, but after the main line-up was formed, many of the outside members were killed, and Kakuzu and Sasori made the biggest contribution to this.
Kakuzu tried especially hard. Many of the people in his group died at his hands, until he eventually encountered the strange Hidan. After all his many attempts, Hidan was still alive and still kicking.
After Konan left, Kisame also left after her, leaving only Su Xiao and Bubtni in the room.
Bubtney was lying on the floor with a calm expression on his face, but in his mind, he had already given everyone nicknames. Kisame was a big shark to him, and Konan was a long-legged girl.
Su Xiao lit a cigarette, and his eyes narrowed slightly as he thought about something.
The first and main mission was completed. As for destroying Konoha, Su Xiao wasn't even going to push anyone to do it.
Sooner or later Nagato will go to Konoha, but as long as "this" person was alive, Nagato won't destroy Konoha, and "this" person is Itachi.
Itachi made an agreement with Nagato. When he joined Akatsuki, he promised to help Akatsuki in exchange for Nagato not attacking Konoha and capturing Kurama, better known as " The Nine-Tails».
Given Itachi's condition, it wouldn't be a problem for him to hold out for a few more years, but he would decide to die for his little brother long before his eyes were completely blinded.
Although Itachi was weakened now, his eyes were still extremely powerful, but each use would destroy both them and Itachi's body.
Right now, Itachi could see what was about ten meters away from him, but everything outside of those ten meters was too blurry and indistinct.
Between his family and the village, Itachi chose the village, but between his younger brother and the village, Itachi chose his younger brother.
Even before Itachi's imminent demise, Nagato would not attack Konoha, for even Nagato was afraid of an enraged Itachi.
Su Xiao didn't need to think about all these things. Nagato will definitely attack Konoha within two months, otherwise this mission would sound very different.
And before this attack, Su Xiao will have to kill the intruders and catch jinchuuriki.
The first step, of course, was to capture jinchuuriki, as absorbing his chakra would make him much stronger, which would allow him to kill other contractors.
But to do that, Su Xiao had to gain Akatsuki's trust.
He quickly imagined the plan in his mind. First gaining trust, then hunting the tailed one, then killing the intruders, and only then will he think about helping in the attack on Konoha.
But there was one other thing besides all that — the demon hunter kit.
After weighing the pros and cons, Su Xiao decided not to take the initiative in this matter. If he accidentally meets the owner of this kit, he will try to pick it up, but on the condition that the conditions are quite favorable for himself.
If it wasn't for the chaos that was currently prevailing in all the major contractor factions, he would never have thought of participating in this matter.

Sivensi1: The text of chapters 526 to 531 will appear in the morning of 8.05. UPD. Only 528 chapters, very difficult to translate chapters turned out :(
Closer to the 17th, I will announce a sale (-50% of the price of season tickets and chapters). Why is it closer to the 17th number? May seventeenth is my jam day :)
As for the release of new chapters: Starting with this volume, the complexity of translation has increased by an order of magnitude. First, the names. I don't say anything about the fact that I only watched Naruto as such when I was a child and I'm practically not familiar with this Universe. The biggest problem is names and things related to them. I'll give you a simple example:
通过苏晓对爆破的了解，小南看出苏晓之前不是在说大话。
“待遇方面我不会狮子大开口，我现在被雾忍村暗部追杀，虽然他们不能把我怎么样，却让我烦不胜烦，至于其他好处，之后再说，毕竟我现在没做出任何贡献。”
苏晓不会狮子大开口，他主线任务剩余的时间不多，要尽快找一个势力加入。
— I won't ask for much. I'm currently being hunted by an anbu from Hidden Mist Village. Even though they can't do anything to me, they annoy me. As for the other conditions, I'll talk about them later. After all, I haven't done anything yet, " Su Xiao wasn't going to talk about all this right now. He didn't have much time left to complete the first mission, so he needed to join Akatsuki as soon as possible.
“这样吗，雾忍的追杀我们帮你解决，如果你想的话，今后可以去报复，不过要以你私人的名义。”
— We'll help you with the anbu. If you want to, you can take revenge on them in the future, but on your own behalf.
“可以。”
苏晓回答的很干脆，门外的天道走开。
— Su Xiao quickly replied, and after that reply, Yahiko, who had been standing outside the door until now, finally left.
“欢迎你加入晓，你不会为今天的选择后悔。”
小南伸出手，苏晓也伸出手。
— Welcome to Akatsuki, you won't regret your choice, " Konan said and held out her hand, and Su Xiao shook it.
“但愿。
— I hope so.
This is from Chapter 525. I, of course, have already figured out most of the names, but with each new character entered, I have to suffer a lot (and yes, it takes no more than 2-3 minutes).).
Second, techniques. In Chinese, they are not called at all as they sound in our country. Of course, I could push the issue of localization of these very techniques to the editor, but this, as for me, is my part of the work, while it is necessary to fix ochepyatki, insert pictures, etc..
Third, the size of chapters. Earlier, when I first started translating, chapters were on average 5-6k characters in size. Now they reach an average of 7-8. 5 k and sometimes exceed 10k sim cards..
If the trend to increase the size of chapters does not continue to decline, I will be forced to increase the price of subscriptions. So far, I only raise the price for individual chapters — when buying season tickets, you can still buy any chapter for 4.6 rubles (if you take the largest subscription).).
As for the release rate of new chapters: there may be some chaos for a couple more days and the lack of a stable 5 chapters / day, but after the 12th, the IRL will stop killing me and I will be able to focus exclusively on translations.
The marathon that I announced earlier failed due to many reasons. I won't promise a new marathon right now — everything will become clear closer to the 17th, and most likely, I will just start posting large bundles of chapters without announcing this very marathon, so that later I don't blush because of the various problems that attack me in reality.
Thank you all for your support. I will slowly restore the pace of the release of chapters and close the hole.
Currently, you need to release: 83 chapters (just to cover the hole due to my inactivity).
