WOOOOO...!
The wind was beginning to pick up...
In one of the northern most locations on the continent, sat a mountainous region devoid of any human presence, completed obscure and isolated from the modern world. The area was riddled with abnormally large skeletal structures belonging to unknown, and long deceased animals
One of these batch of bones stood in front an entrance to a mysterious mine, situated at the most northern point of land. The mines themselves, full of ruins with unique symbols and literature unrecognizable to all not privy to their secrets
In the center, a gigantic stone slab, clearly designed to support sothing of massive shape and size. With an isolated pool of water situated below, with a set of stairs nearby...seemingly leading to another chamber
And to the right...
"Hmmm...this pair is bad, I can't use them"
A laboratory currently being utilized by a masked individual to dissect a corpse laid out on an operating table in front of him. Along with instrunts for surgical use, the walls inside were decorated with Konohagakure's1Hidden Leaf Village Uchiha clan's symbol on top
One unique wall was composed of individually suspended, built-in labelled glass containers filled with strange-colored fluids, all storing various anatomy and organs acquired through unethical ans...
"Sigh! Such a waste of good eyes, it's not easy these days to get a hold of the Uchiha's prowess...hm?"
ZUZUZU!
Before he could wallow in disappointnt at this recent failed organ extraction, an inhuman creature with a Venus flytrap-like appearance rose from the ground...
"Struck out did ya? Too bad, so sad"
"Knock it off. Say...what we ca here...to say..."
"Yeah, yeah"
It was none other than the, rged, bipolar-like, artificial lifeform duo known as "Zetsu". It's combined black and white halves had arrived to greet their master, and shadow leader of Akatsuki, currently under the alias of "Tobi"
"It's alright, I just happened to encounter this Uchiha by chance, he was acting as a spy in Kirigakure2Hidden Mist Village, but was killed by the village's Hunter-nin before I get answers" (Tobi)
"As expected...of the Undertaker Squad...they leave...no trace" (BZ)
"You'd think they'd be more careful with a foreigner's body, especially an Uchiha's" (WZ)
"He put a good fight, so they really had no choice. If I had gotten there sooner, I might've been able to do sothing. Oh well..." (Tobi)
KLINK! TUG!
Tobi put down his tools and removed the operating gloves from his hands, knowing there was no point in trying any further. Attempting to take this deceased Uchiha's Sharingan3Copy Wheel Eye had beco a fruitless endeavor
"So? Why are you here? I thought you were watching our latest recruit?" (Tobi)
"Sasori is watching Orochimaru enough for all of us, considering his dislike and distrust for that snakey guy runs deeper than anyone else" (WZ)
"That why...Tobi paired them...together" (BZ)
"Right. Kakuzu has begun amassing more funds for the organization, while Pain and Konan have pretty much tightened their grip on all of Agakure4Hidden Rain Village, the last remnants of Hanzō loyalists have been wiped out. That makes two countries in your hands now" (WZ)
"I wouldn't be so sure about that..." (Tobi)
"?!" (BZ & WZ)
Sighing at Zetsu's remark, Tobi casually waltzed out of the laboratory, and into the main hall. Staring at the enormous stone slab with empty contents
"Truth be told, managing Kirigakure from the shadows has beco more of a burden than an asset lately. Controlling the 4th Mizukage5Water Shadow, a Jinchūriki that's mastered his Tailed Beast isn't easy either. And now that Akatsuki is finally starting to grow..." (Tobi)
"..." (BZ)
White Zetsu glanced in the sa direction as Tobi, eyeing the empty stone slab...
"Too much on your plate now? Makes sense. Truth be told, I never liked the idea of the putting our greatest asset, the Gedō Mazō6Demonic Statue of the Outer Path in the hands of a pawn. With the statue now gone from here, a place I'm used to seeing it for decades, gives
an uncomfortable feeling" (WZ)
"He was...handpicked...by Madara..." (BZ)
"I know, but co on? Our whole plan hinges on that vessel for the Tailed Beasts...if sothing were to happen to it..." (WZ)
"Pain will not fail us...but I do understand these unneeded responsibilities of mine certainly aren't helpful anymore. The main purpose of taking over Kiri was access to their resources and information, along with potential mbers for our organization" (Tobi)
"Kisa is still on standby, ready to be used whenever. But you're still not letting him officially join Akatsuki yet?" (WZ)
"Akatsuki is going...public soon. Not good for him...in public. He's from...Kiri...after all" (BZ)
"Right, I almost forgot" (WZ)
Out of Five Great Shinobi Nations, Kirigakure was tenacious when it ca to hunting down rogue ninja
So nations, like Konohagakure for example, didn't even posses assassination squads strictly trained to completely erase the person they're searching for, leaving no trace of their existence...
With Akatsuki's newest mber hailing from said nation, it wasn't ti for a forr mber of the "Kiri no Shinobigatana Shichinin Shū7Seven Ninja Swordsn of the Mist
