Although Nagato really hates Danzo and wants to kill him, he doesn’t give as much importance to Danzo as he gives to Amatsukami. In his eyes, the likes of Danzo are only comparable to insects who can be crushed anyti he wants, but that’s not the case with Amatsukami as that organization is the greatest threat!
Therefore, as soon as Nagato heard White Zetsu say that they have located a mber of Amatsukami in Iwagakure, Nagato imdiately gave up on the idea of hunting down Danzo and chose to go after this new mber of Amatsukami.
As per Nagato’s orders, all the mbers of the Akatsuki Organization turned around and rushed toward the Land of Earth.
While on their way to the Land of Earth, White Zetsu briefly explained the capture of Tobi and also described their encounter and battle with Dojin of Amatsukami. Hearing the information given by the White Zetsu, Kakuzu also added from the side, “If the information you have given about Dojin is indeed correct, then there is indeed a possibility that Deidara of Iwagakure is Dojin of Amatsukami. Otherwise, it’s too much of a coincidence for both of them to have the sa Jutsus and the sa fighting style… especially the thod of using the Explosive Clay, other than Deidara, I have never heard of anyone using it in such a way.
After hearing Kakuzu’s explanation, Nagato nodded slightly.
Explosion Release isn’t that common for Kekkei Genkai in the Shinobi World, on top of that, the thod of using Explosion Release with the Explosion Clay is extrely rare and only Deidara is known to use such a combat style, therefore, even Nagato started to believe in the possibility that this Dojin person might really be Deidara.
At this ti, Konan who has been silent all this while, suddenly questioned, “But even if they share so many similarities, how can you be so sure that the two of them are the sa? Do you have any other evidence to prove it? You must know that mbers of Amatsukami have always been very careful with their identities, even if this Dojin is a new mber, he shouldn’t have revealed his identity, so how can you be completely certain? What if we are wrong this ti?”
Everyone looked at Zetsu, as they too had this doubt.
Considering how Amatsukami operates, it’s really surprising that the identity of their newest mber has been revealed so easily. For a mont, Konan even considered the possibility that this might be an obvious flaw left behind by Dojin to lead all of them into a trap.
However, Zetsu said in an extrely certain tone, “No, this ti we are extrely certain, it can’t be wrong!”
Nagato looked at White Zetsu with a surprised expression and questioned, “Why are you so sure?”
White Zetsu looked at Nagato, then said in a deep voice, “Because other than Explosion Release, Dojin is also capable of using Dust Release!”
As soon as these words were heard by the mbers of the Akatsuki Organization, each of their eyes widened in shock and all the doubts they had about White Zetsu’s information disappeared instantly.
In the past few decades, other than the Nidai Tsuchikage who died in the battle against Nidai Mizukage a few decades ago, and Sandai Tsuchikage Onoki, there has not been a third person who could have mastered the Kekkei Tota Dust Release. In such a situation, if anyone can suddenly appear in the Shinobi World who is known to have mastered the Dust Release, then that person is definitely related to the two of them! Other than Deidar who is Onoki’s genius disciple Deidara can there be a better candidate who might have mastered Dust Release?
All the clues are pointing toward Deidara, and hearing this information, even Konan’s suspicious disappeared as she said, “If that’s the case, then as long as we capture Deidara, we might be able to uncover the mystery of Amatsukami!”
Everyone nodded, even Uchiha Shinichi agreed, however, internally he couldn’t help but curse Kuroto, ‘What the hell is boss doing? How could he recruit Deidara of all people? That guy is through and through retarded ntally… he is going to bring trouble!’
Of course, that’s just his internal thought, he had no intention of voicing it out.
Anyway, after it was determined that Deidara is really Dojin, the entire Akatsuki Organization rushed toward the Land of Earth.
…
Three days later
Under the starry night, all the mbers of the Akatsuki Organization appeared on a cliff and looked at the village in the distance.
Looking at the brightly lit Iwagakure village, Kisa muttered, “Huh, who would have thought that even Iwagakure would be so prosperous, it seems that except Kirigakure, no other shinobi village has such a gloomy atmosphere.”
Hearing Kisa’s words, the other mbers who originally belonged to Kirigakure showed a variety of emotions.
While everyone was silent, White Zetsu appeared out of a tree on the side and said, “I have carried out a preliminary investigation, both Deidara and Sandai Tsuchikage Onoki are in one of the many training fields of the village, the problem is, I was unable to find their exact location.”
Nagato nodded, “No matter.” Then questioned, “And what about the Jinchuriki of Yonbi and Gobi?”
White Zetsu answered, “Based on what I was able to find, the Jinchuriki of Yonbi seems to be forbidden to step outside of the village so he should be in the village, as for the location of the Jinchuriki of Gobi, I am not sure, it seems Onoki has hidden him sowhere, and nobody except Onoki seems to know his location in Iwagakure.”
“I see.” Muttered Nagato, then said, “In that case, I suppose I must personally ask Onoki where the Jinchuriki of Gobi is.”
White Zetsu nodded, “That would be the best option.”
Shinichi said from the side, “It seems we have a lot of targets, I suggest that before initiating the attack on Iwagakure we first determine the exact location of all the targets because there is a very strong possibility that other mbers of Amatsukami are also hidden in Iwagakure.”
Konan added, “Moreover, the strength of Iwagakure is also not weak, and if other mbers of Amatsukami also appear our situation will beco the sa as the ti we attacked Konoha, so it would be best to be cautious.”
Nagato nodded, “It would be best to send a few people inside first to investigate the situation inside.”
Hearing Nagato’s words, Shinichi decided to volunteer, “Since intelligence gathering is our purpose, I don’t mind going. I have Mangekyou Sharingan, so it would be easy to investigate intelligence using Genjutsu.”
After pondering for a while, Nagato nodded, “Alright then, Uchiha Shinichi and Kahyo, the two of you are to investigate the exact location of both Deidara and Onoki, anwhile Konan, you find the exact location of the Jinchuriki of Yonbi, once both the locations are determined, we will move.”
Everyone nodded in unison, “Yes.”
Nagato turned his gaze to the brightly lit Iwagakure in the distance and instructed, “Aside from the possibility of Amatsukami mbers, there are two people capable of using Dust Release, so be careful.”
“Understood.” Everyone responded and disappeared from the cliff one after another.
