In the lobby on the first floor of the base, the members of the organization had gathered and were sitting on the sofa, chatting.
"I heard that the One-Tail Jinchūriki has been captured?" Hidan sat on the sofa with his legs crossed, looking like a gangster. "The new guy Hitani is really fast. It's only been a few days?"
"The new guy is strong, but Gaara is too weak," Sasori of the Red Sand snorted. "It's a ridiculous decision for the Sand Village to let that brat be the Kazekage."
"Everyone is here, right?" Pain said. "Since everyone is here, let's prepare to seal the Jinchūriki. The sealing ceremony will last for three days. Although the process is a bit troublesome, it must be carried out. If you have things to deal with, go and do it in advance."
"Nothing special," Kisame looked around. "By the way, where is Hitani? I haven't seen him since I came back. Where did he go?"
"He captured a female ninja from Konoha, and she is in the room," Zetsu said.
Hidan immediately showed a meaningful smile. "Oh my, he captured a female ninja from Konoha. It seems that our new member has some strange hobbies."
"Who is the captured female ninja?" Itachi Uchiha, who had been silent all along, suddenly asked.
"It seems to be called Uzuki Yugao," Konan looked at him strangely and said. "Why is Itachi-san suddenly concerned about this? Is it because you were once from Konoha that you still have a little sympathy for people from your former village?"
"No." Itachi Uchiha immediately shook his head. "I'm just curious. Speaking of which, the ninja Uzuki Yugao was my former classmate, and I have a deep impression of her."
As soon as he finished speaking, Hitani brought Uzuki Yugao down from the second floor and came to the crowd.
At this time, Uzuki Yugao's eyes were dazed, and it seemed that she had just experienced something like a nightmare, and her mental state was quite bad.
"Ah, just when I mentioned you, you appeared." Hidan looked at Hitani with a very strange smile. "Newcomer, are you having fun?"
Hitani ignored him and pushed Uzuki Yugao in front of Konan. "Please take her to take a bath and then send her back to my room."
Konan looked at the dazed Uzuki Yugao and raised her eyebrows slightly. "What did you do to her? She looks like she has been greatly stimulated. Did you attack her with an illusion?"
Without waiting for Hitani to speak, Hidan immediately interrupted with a grin. "What else can we do? As a man, everyone should understand it. I think this is also the reason why Hitani captured this female ninja. But then again, this female ninja is really good-looking. Hitani has a good eye."
Uzuki Yugao suddenly recovered a little bit of spirit, looked at everyone present, and finally, her eyes fell on Uchiha Itachi, and she was stunned. "Uchiha… Itachi!"
Uchiha Itachi looked at her calmly, his eyes were calm, but there was a hint of worry in his eyes, which others could not see.
"You also… joined this evil organization…" Uzuki Yugao's face was pale and a little angry. "Traitor! A traitor who killed his own people! You and Hitani are both traitors! Lady Tsunade will definitely catch you!"
"Take her there." Hitani waved his hand impatiently.
"Okay." Konan nodded and dragged the weak Uzuki Yugao towards the bathroom.
"Don't waste time on unnecessary things," Pain glanced at everyone and said. "Prepare to seal the Jinchūriki. Except for Mr. Hitani, everyone else follows me."
"Hi, hi, hi." The members lazily followed Pain towards the base's basement.
...
One day later, in Konoha Village, in the Hokage's office.
Tsunade walked back and forth in the office with a worried look on her face, frowning. "Two days have passed, and I have completely lost contact with Hayate Gekkō and Uzuki Yugao. What happened over there? There is no news at all."
"Lady Tsunade, don't worry, I have sent people to Sunagakure to inquire about the situation, and there will be a reply soon," Shizune comforted. "And Hayate Gekkō and Uzuki Yugao are both experienced ninjas, it shouldn't be that simple. Maybe they have completed their mission and are on their way back."
"That would be good." Tsunade pinched her chin and said, "But I'm still worried. Shizune, bring me my dice."
"You still want to gamble at this time?!" Shizune's eyes widened.
Tsunade explained helplessly, "This is the method I use for divination. Stop talking nonsense and go quickly!"
Shizune hesitated for a while and had to take out three dice.
"I bet on small. If it's small, it means Hayate Gekkō and the others are fine. If it's big, it means they are in trouble." Tsunade exhaled and shook the three dice.
The dice rolled for a while and stopped. Three ones, three small!
"It's small!" Shizune breathed a sigh of relief. "It seems that Hayate Gekkō and the others are fine. I told you that you don't need to worry about them, Lady Tsunade."
Tsunade stared at the three dice with a cold face. "No, they are in trouble."
"Huh? Doesn't the fact that they are small prove that they are fine?" Shizune was stunned.
Tsunade looked at Shizune with a serious face. "I always lose when I gamble. I have never won, but this time I actually won. Doesn't that prove the problem?"
