Chapter 30 Kurotsuchi: I Want to Join the Akatsuki
Onoki knew Deidara's personality well, and knew that Deidara was basically not cunning outside of battle, so it was almost impossible for him to think of deceiving him at a time like this, and yet he spoke so naturally.
and so……
The other person really does have his blood!
As for how he obtained it?
Onoki shifted his gaze to the direction where Bai Mo had just been speaking.
The other side has a skilled infiltration partner.
Before today, before people knew about the Blood Possession Technique, who would care whether this blood would be collected by others?
"What exactly do you want...?"
"Wait, wait!"
Just as Onoki was about to ask Bai Mo about his purpose, Kurotsuchi hurriedly stepped between the two, her eyes fixed on Bai Mo: "Um, am I also among the targets of this intimidation?"
"certainly."
Bai Mo smiled.
"I've suffered quite a few injuries over the years. Tell me, you collected my blood while I was injured, right?"
Hei Tu's expression was somewhat grief-stricken and indignant.
She already guessed what it was.
"Here, male ninjas aren't necessarily intimidated, but female ninjas, except for someone like Granny Chiyo, can't escape it, so... what do you say?"
"I'm talking to you my foot!"
Kurotsuchi clenched his fist. "Tell me, which guy in your organization came up with this twisted idea!"
"Heitu, don't be impulsive!"
Onoki pulled Kurotsuchi back.
Just now, Bai Mo killed Shi Chun without the slightest hesitation. Onoki dared not gamble on whether Bai Mo would continue if Kurotsuchi attacked him.
"What exactly do you want to do? Deterrence... are you trying to rule the world?"
Onoki stared at Bai Mo, wondering if he was an ambitious man like Uchiha Madara.
"Didn't I just say that we are a peace-loving organization? Our deterrence is only for the purpose of having an equal dialogue with the five great ninja villages?"
We are just a small, insignificant force. If you don't listen when we stand up, and you still don't listen when we kneel down, then we have no choice but to make you kneel down.
Actually, the fact that our organization's leader realized this principle is indirectly related to your Iwagakure village.
Bai Mo maintained his smile.
"What does this have to do with us?"
Onoki searched his mind quickly, trying to find the relevant information, but ultimately failed.
Onoki looked at Kurotsuchi beside him, seemingly wanting to ask if Kurotsuchi remembered him.
"I don't remember either. Don't worry, old man, you don't have dementia yet."
After the time that had passed, Heitu calmed down a bit.
Since it has already happened, there's nothing we can do about it.
Let's try to extract as much information as possible from them.
Only with intelligence can we devise ways to respond and countermeasure.
"It's normal that you don't remember. I've already said that it's just a 'slight connection'."
I can tell you the specifics of what happened.
Danzo of Konoha once sent his men to impersonate your Iwa ninja to kill civilians, and then framed us, playing a double game that resulted in the deaths of our then-leader and some of our earliest members.
Bai Mo easily recounted the tragic plot and massacre that had occurred in Amegakure.
Whether the people of Iwagakure will realize that Akatsuki's headquarters are in Amegakure is irrelevant.
Since Bai Mo became the strategist of the Akatsuki organization, Akatsuki no longer needs to hide in the shadows.
"Konoha?"
Onoki and Kurotsuchi exchanged a glance, looking completely bewildered.
So that's what the "relationship" is like?
"That old bastard Danzo is a real scoundrel... Since it was Konoha's doing, why are you targeting our Iwagakure? You should be going to Konoha!"
After Ōnoki cursed Danzo to express his stance, he asked in confusion.
"Save Deidara!"
"what?"
Is this all?
Onoki and Kurotsuchi were both completely bewildered.
"Yes, as for Konoha, we have naturally collected blood from there as well, but as I said before, we are a peace-loving organization. Unless our plans target Konoha, we will not go there to do anything."
"..."
Onoki's lips twitched.
What kind of person would constantly talk about loving peace?
"I can let you go, but I hope that ordinary ninjas don't find out about your 'deterrence,' as it could easily cause panic."
After pondering for a moment, Ohnoki spoke.
Even if he could instantly kill the opponent with a Dust Release technique, it wouldn't solve the problem, so he would have to compromise for now.
"no problem."
"As for Deidara, you don't need to worry. I know you treat him like a grandson or an older brother, but we also treat him as a comrade."
I can tell you that our organization's ultimate goal is to fight against an existence that threatens the entire ninja world.
We need to gather everyone's strength as much as possible, which will inevitably require cooperation with your Iwagakure village, so we will still be comrades-in-arms...
Bai Mo was just making empty promises to the two of them.
This pancake really touched their hearts.
The perspective of "Naruto" has always been centered on Naruto Uzumaki.
Step outside your comfort zone and you'll discover a different world.
Deidara's relationship with Onoki is like Naruto's relationship with Hiruzen Sarutobi, or perhaps even closer.
When Naruto in Shippuden heard Sasuke cheering after killing Orochimaru, he never imagined that Orochimaru was actually "Sasuke" from his master Jiraiya.
People's joys and sorrows are not shared, and it is common for people in the ninja world to not understand each other. Even close friends may not be able to understand each other, and everyone is used to it.
And now, their feelings have been voiced by someone they just met today, someone who is even considered an enemy.
This feeling is really strange.
"In that case, may I join your organization?"
"Kuroto, what are you saying?"
Kurotsuchi suddenly spoke, startling Onoki.
Damn it, Deidara, whom I raised like a grandson and groomed as my successor, ran away, and now my granddaughter is going to run away too?
Kurotsuchi ignored Onoki, her dark eyes fixed on Bai Mo, waiting for his answer.
"sure."
Bai Mo was slightly taken aback before giving his answer.
"Are you afraid I'll... what?! Is that okay? You agree?"
When Heitu heard Bai Mo speak, he subconsciously thought he had been rejected and was about to start a debate when he suddenly realized that the other party had actually agreed.
"Aren't you afraid I might be trying to gather intelligence on you, or find a way to destroy the blood you've collected?"
Hei Tu was very puzzled.
Ōnoki, listening from the side, twitched at the corner of his mouth again.
—This granddaughter, how come you open up so easily every time someone tries to trick you?
"What are you afraid of? If you want to gather intelligence, you need to understand us."
If you understand us, you will understand our intentions.
You don't think I was just kidding when I said 'the goal is for the safety of the entire ninja world,' do you?"
Bai Mo shrugged.
Bai Mo can openly and honestly invite such rational and calm people to be like-minded.
In Bai Mo's plan, the five great ninja villages were forces that could be won over.
The difficulty lies in the fact that the people of the five great ninja villages will not easily believe what he and the Akatsuki said.
They won't easily believe, rather than never believing at all.
These are all things that can be persuaded through words and actions.
The only type of person who, no matter what you say or how reasonable it is, will rush at you shouting about "friendship," "bonds," or "It hurts, it hurts so much," or "This world has ruthlessly abandoned you, and now I will repay it with pain," no matter what you say, cannot be persuaded by common sense.
"No! No way! Strategist, don't agree to her!"
Kurotsuchi is so boring, and he's not very strong either!
Her joining the organization will only lower its prestige! Yeah!
Deidara's voice suddenly came from the cave again.
