"Having one more person really makes a difference! Sealing the tailed beast is much faster!"
Hidan said.
He looked at Sasuke with an expression as if to say, "You're not bad, I appreciate you."
Sasuke chose to ignore him outright.
But Hidan didn't get angry; instead, he grinned.
Hidan had long grown tired of partnering with Kakuzu, but Sasuke Uchiha was different.
The Uchiha clan's bloodline limit was a power coveted throughout the ninja world, though Hidan himself didn't care much for bloodline limits.
However, if he could find an opportunity to kill Sasuke, that would definitely be great.
"Focus, you idiot. This is the ti to seal the tailed beast~. Don't get distracted!"
Seeing Hidan initiate a conversation with Sasuke, Kakuzu beca quite annoyed and imdiately scolded him.
Naturally, Hidan wouldn't let it slide after being scolded for no reason.
The two of them started bickering right then and there!
'No wonder the so-called Immortal Duo were the first to die. It'd be better if they just died right away.'
Deidara, listening to their quarrel, felt his ears were about to grow calluses.
"By the way, Leader, we've captured the One-Tail. The next should be the Two-Tails, right? How about letting us handle the task of capturing the Two-Tails?"
Saying this, he glanced at Sasori beside him. "Senior, what do you think?"
Sasori sneered dismissively. "Hmph! Troubleso!"
"Senior, this shouldn't be much for you, right? I'd really like to see your art in action again!"
Sasori seed pleased by Deidara's comnt and did not object.
And since he didn't object, it ant he agreed.
"Leader! What do you think? Rest assured, we'll definitely bring the Two-Tails back intact!"
Deidara looked at Pain with eager eyes. However, in response to Deidara's question, Pain remained silent for a long ti before slowly speaking.
"Let's seal the One-Tail first. This ti, the commotion has been significant. Even if we act, it'll have to wait for so ti."
Hearing this response, Deidara was a bit disappointed.
"Can't we just act now? We'll quietly capture the Two-Tails, without causing any commotion!"
Deidara seed unwilling to give up.
But Sasuke smiled.
Too much commotion?
This was Nagato's consideration. The guy likely wanted to observe the reactions of the various ninja villages. If it sparked a war, even better. Or perhaps he didn't want to provoke war among the villages at all.
Perhaps the guy was very conflicted internally right now!
But speaking of the Two-Tails, it was the Jinchuriki of the Hidden Cloud Village. If they targeted the Two-Tails, Sasuke could conveniently look for the Eight-Tails as well.
After all, it was a destined event; he should make ti to complete it!
"I'd like to participate in capturing the Two-Tails too!"
Sasuke suddenly spoke.
Hearing this, Pain turned his head and looked at Sasuke with so curiosity.
Why did this guy seem so interested in capturing tailed beasts? Did he really believe in Akatsuki's ideals?
Perhaps it was possible, but Nagato thought there must be another reason.
However!
If Sasuke wanted to participate in the Two-Tails' capture, then this matter would be different.
"In that case, you all may go! After sealing the One-Tail!"
Sasuke's words carried so much weight?
Others gave Sasuke a surprised look. Why did it suddenly seem like the Leader favored Sasuke?
Well, it made sense. Sasuke had single-handedly infiltrated the Hidden Sand Village and openly captured the One-Tail's Jinchuriki in front of so many Sand Ninjas.
Such combat power was extrely important for the entire Akatsuki organization.
So! It was natural for the Leader to treat Sasuke differently, wasn't it?
But now, even Hidan and Kakuzu couldn't sit still.
"Well, since the Two-Tails capture is starting, then we'll go after the Three-Tails!"
When Hidan said this, he deliberately gave Sasuke a provocative look.
It seed he wanted to compete with Sasuke to see who could capture a tailed beast first.
Sasuke was speechless.
Was Hidan an idiot? How boring could he be!
Who wanted to compete with him in such a pointless contest?
Was he crazy?
"Fine, but the whereabouts of the Three-Tails are still unclear. Find the Three-Tails first."
Speaking of which, Nagato was also curious. Zetsu had been tracking the Three-Tails, and although he hadn't been closely monitoring it, he had always been able to roughly locate it.
But now!
The Three-Tails seed to have suddenly vanished. Completing the plan required the Three-Tails as well.
So!
Sending Hidan and Kakuzu to investigate the Three-Tails' situation in advance was acceptable.
"So, Sasuke is going to act with us for the Two-Tails capture?"
Deidara looked at Sasuke with excitent.
Speaking of which, Sasuke's lightning techniques were also an art of perfection in Deidara's eyes.
Not just lightning techniques Sasuke was proficient in all five elental jutsu.
A genius from Konoha, Deidara also wanted to compare himself to Sasuke to see who was truly more of a genius.
"Three people? How troubleso!"
Sasori felt uncomfortable. Acting with just Deidara, a chatterbox, already annoyed him to no end.
Adding Sasuke Uchiha to the mix, he could only imagine how much worse it would get.
..... .....
However, Sasuke didn't seem to talk much, so maybe it would be quieter!
Pain: "Focus on sealing the tailed beast!"
...
The expedition squad departing from Konoha was led by Kakashi as captain, with Might Guy as vice-captain and the main combatant against Sasuke.
Supported by eleven Chunin!
dical ninjas Sakura and Hinata!
Intelligence gatherers Shikamaru and Sai!
Trackers Shino, Neji, and Kiba!
Combat support team: Choji, Ino, and Rock Lee!
The expedition squad lineup was quite extravagant.
Even the Sand Ninjas could only conclude that Konoha placed great importance on this mission.
Kakashi led everyone quickly toward the Hidden Sand Village, explaining the mission details along the way.
"Now we must rush to the Hidden Sand Village as quickly as possible to et up with the Sand Ninjas and search for Sasuke!"
"anwhile, the Sand Ninjas have already started searching for Sasuke's whereabouts."
"Although Sasuke's exact location isn't confird, the general area has been identified!"
"To prevent Sasuke from leaving the target area, we'll advance at full speed from now on!"
"We must reach the Hidden Sand Village as quickly as possible to conduct a more precise search and tracking!"
After speaking, Kakashi glanced back at these young ninjas.
"As his peers, you should be well aware of Sasuke's talent!"
"So this ti... Everyone, stay alert!"
