Chapter 70: Mission to Capture the Tailed Beast
Sound Village
Kai took Sasuke and Neji to a training ground and gave them a large number of Ninjutsu scrolls suitable for them.
"You can practice here. Neji, you can follow my original path of ninjutsu."
"Sasuke, learn swordsmanship, Lightning Style, Fire Style, etc. I have prepared them for you."
"You should practice sparring before the start of training every day to prove your progress."
"If you have any questions, go to Kabuto. He is your doctor and part-time teacher. It doesn't matter if your arm is broken, he can put it back for you."
"If you have a request, I can give you a steel arm, and the weak flesh and blood can be replenished mechanically. We have many experts in this field in Sound Village to ensure that the after-sales service is guaranteed."
The two of them shuddered when they thought about how their limbs will be mutilated due to training.
Kak patted the two of them on the shoulders: "You are all geniuses. Excessive control of you will restrict your talents. Such a barbaric environment is suitable for the growth of geniuses like you."
The two of them nodded in unison, looking as if they had been deceived.
"Okay, I just have free time today so I can be your referee and watch your first competition."
"Okay!" Neji's eyes lit up with fighting spirit. This was the first time he was going to take action in front of his brother, so he couldn't be at a disadvantage.
Sasuke clenched his fists in his eyes, 'I can't lose this time either!'
When the two of them faced each other, Sasuke said, "This is the second time we have competed, right? The last time was at the Ninja School, when you graduated early."
"Of course I remember, you lost miserably." Neji mocked without changing his expression, trying to disrupt Sasuke's thinking.
"Yes, but these days are different." Sasuke said calmly without being tricked.
Kai waved his hand and said, "The trash talk session is over, let's start the competition!"
The two instantly opened their Sharingan and Byakugan, and first tested the ninja tools.
Sasuke clearly has the upper hand when it comes to throwing ninja tools. Uchiha's throwing technique is clever and tricky, but it is impossible to hurt Neji who has no blind spots.
Next came another taijutsu battle. Sasuke's fists were ignited with flames, and water flowed out of Neji's palms. Water Gentle Fist versus Fire Fist.
'Tsk, tsk, tsk, it seems that Kakashi also taught my fire ninja taijutsu to Sasuke. Sasuke's talent is really good, he should be able to use it skillfully in a short time.'
'And Neji is not bad either. He actually developed the water ninja taijutsu following Hyuga's guidance, and the weird and unpredictable water flow can just be combined with Gentle Fist.'
Neji's Chakra attributes are water, earth and fire, and he does not have the thunder and wind that Kai is best at, but he also developed his own ninjutsu based on this idea.
But in the physical battle, Neji has always been at the advantage, and Sasuke can only barely defend.
Finally, it was time for the Ninjutsu duel. Chidori condensed in Sasuke's hand and rushed towards Neji.
Neji rotated his body at high speed and used Gentle Fist to effortlessly block the blow. Then he got close to Sasuke again and ended the battle with his own taijutsu.
The second fight between the two ended with Neji winning.
It seems to Kai that as long as Sasuke does not awaken the Mangekyō Sharingan, it will be difficult for Sasuke to defeat Neji.
Watching the two of them finish the competition and quickly enter the training state, competing with each other, Kai nodded secretly and couldn't help but uttered a classic Guy sentence: "This is youth."
At this moment, there was a change in the Akatsuki Organization ring on Kai's finger.
"Is this a mission?"
Kai thought about the significance of Nagato's sudden meeting: "No, it should be about Obito. Obito has left as the invisible leader of the organization, and it will cause a storm no matter what."
"You guys practice seriously, I have something to do." Kai told the two of them and left the training ground.
He came to the secret room alone, applied black nail polish, and activated the magic lantern body technique to appear on Gedo Statue's fingers.
Looking around, almost all members of the Akatsuki Organization are present, except for one Zetsu who has been kicked out of the Akatsuki Organization.
The atmosphere of this organizational meeting was very serious. There was actually no chatting session that every meeting has, and no one spoke.
The exposure of the masked man's identity this time is indeed a big blow to the Akatsuki Organization and affects people's hearts.
Seeing that everyone had arrived, Pain slowly said, "Everyone has arrived."
"You should have heard the rumors from the outside. The leader of the organization is Uchiha Obito. Now he and Zetsu have been expelled from the Akatsuki Organization by me."
"Some of you were recommended by Obito, but I believe you were deceived by his one-sided words."
"But if you want to leave, I will never stop you. I only ask you to keep the organization's secrets, otherwise the leakers will be eliminated from anywhere in the world."
Pain took the lead and wanted to scare everyone in the Akatsuki Organization. His plan has not yet begun. The Akatsuki Organization cannot be disbanded.
All of a sudden, all six people on the field looked at Kai, Itachi and Kisame.
Kai was the first to express his position: "I joined the organization just to experience the power of Ten Tails. Of course I will not leave until the plan is over."
Everyone immediately turned their attention away from Kai and looked at the other two people, waiting for them to express their stance.
Konan in the corner also breathed a sigh of relief. After getting along for a long time, she also regarded Kai as a friend and did not want to break her relationship with Kai.
Itachi and Kisame also expressed their positions one after another.
In Kai's view, this is a bit hypocritical. Itachi is purely a Konoha spy, and Kisame is a loyal follower of Obito's Eye of the Moon plan.
'But I am almost the same, just to plot against Ten Tails.'
Pain nodded with satisfaction: "Okay, since the plan to capture the tailed beast continues, now we continue to assign tasks."
The familiar task-taking process, but this time Kai failed to fish again.
Pain said, " Kai, according to reliable information, Four Tails Jinchūriki has defected from Iwagakure Village and is now practicing in a Volcano in the north of Earth Kingdom."
"This is a great opportunity. No one knows the news except us. This time it is up to you to capture the Four Tails and capture the Akatsuki Organization's first tailed beast."
'Wasn't Four Tails captured after Three Tails before in the original story? Why did it happen so much earlier this time? But it doesn't matter, Four Tails Jinchūriki is not an important person anyway.'
"I didn't..." Kai also wanted to excuse himself by saying he didn't have any teammates.
Pai seemed to have expected it: "This time Konan will be your temporary teammate."
"Okay, okay, it seems I can't escape." Kai had no choice but to agree.
"Hahaha, Kai, you actually go on missions sometimes." Deidara laughed loudly at Kai.
You must know that the number of missions Kai has done since joining the Akatsuki Organization does not exceed single digits.
Pain said, "This is the first tailed beast that is going to be captured by the organization. It should be done secretly so that the five major countries don't notice it."
"I understand." Kai said to Konan again, "I am not in the Kingdom of Rain now. I will probably be able to go to the Kingdom of Rain in the afternoon, and then we can go together."
Konan nodded coldly without changing her expression.
