Chapter 774: Untrusted Zetsu

Chapter 774: Untrusted Zetsu

After Pain declared that wherever he was, that place would be the headquarters of Akatsuki, the vast underground space fell into silence again. Everyone was silently calculating their own thoughts until Orochimaru's mental projection appeared.

“Oh, as expected of Orochimaru, you take care of Jiraiya so quickly?” Taki said with a smile, breaking the silence.

Orochimaru squinted at Taki coldly, and did not bother to explain that Jiraiya was just a shadow clone. Instead, he directly confronted Deva Path Pain: “Pain, I need an explanation.”

He believes that Taki has told Deva Path Pain about their encounter with Jiraiya at the headquarters.

“I won’t say the same explanation for the second time.” Deva Path Pain responded emotionlessly.

Orochimaru frowned, turned his head and looked towards Taki next to him.

Taki shrugged at this: ‘If you don’t care about me, why should I explain to you?’

Fortunately, Konan stepped in and roughly recounted their previous conversation.

‘Just because his clone was killed, Zetsu gets me to go back to Amegakure to take a risk?’

Orochimaru looked at Zetsu coldly, then looked towards Pain, and said: “By abandoning Amegakure, are we becoming a rootless tree?”

As a member of Akatsuki with his own motives, Orochimaru had benefited greatly from Akatsuki having a fixed headquarters!

“Don’t worry, everyone, my clones will forever be a bond connecting everyone.” White Zetsu suddenly said with a laugh.

‘If you don’t tell me, I would have forgotten...’ Deva Path Pain glanced at Zetsu, and said coldly: “Zetsu, take back all your clones.”

“Huh?” White Zetsu was surprised and a bit flustered.

Black Zetsu furrowed his brows, and asked: “What's the meaning of this, Pain?”

“In the future, I will personally convey missions to each group through the rings. We don't need your clones anymore.” Deva Path Pain explained emotionlessly.

Konan seemed to be worried that Zetsu would flip the table, so after Deva Path Pain explained, she said, “Zetsu, Shisui of the Body Flicker took away your clone during his betrayal and leaked a lot of our information. Pain did this to avoid this from happening again.”

‘Do you think I’m a fool?’

Black Zetsu was furious, knowing that it is just an excuse!

“So that’s how it is, I understand.” White Zetsu next to him suddenly realized, as if he understood what the world is.

“...” Black Zetsu’s heart is tired when he heard this.Yôur favorite stories at novelhall.com

Black Zetsu tried to isolate his mind from White Zetsu, and then stared at Pain and Konan, ‘These two guys first avoided the White Zetsu’s clone and went to the Land of Fire to act alone, and now, he’s asking me to take back all the clones...’

‘They are obviously no longer trusting me!’

Black Zetsu instantly felt a wave of malice approaching.

‘Why?’

‘What happened?’

Konan then said: “Pain, when the information on the Sanbi, Yonbi and Rokubi are collected...”

“We'll be ready to hunt down Uchiha Obito!” Pain added coldly.

“But our plan has yet to be perfected.” Konan frowned slightly.

“Haven't you noticed?”

Deva Path Pain said, “Yuki Hyoketsū and Hyuga Taki, those two people have been vaguely targeting Zetsu ever since they first joined Akatsuki.”

“You want to use them?” Konan’s eyes lit up.

“It’s not them, it’s the Abyss behind them!”

Deva Path Pain said with slightly clenched teeth, “That Gekko Kanpū is also the person of Abyss!”

‘Although 100 billion Explosive Tags was extorted by Gekko Kanpū, if we can work with him...’ Konan’s mouth shows a curve, and she said with a smile: “I will contact him when the time comes.”

Deva Path Pain snorted and said: “Remember to bring plenty of Explosive Tags.”

“Understood.” Konan nodded.

......

Amegakure.

As soon as Taki exited the mental projection state, he immediately found Orochimaru. After a brief discussion, the two set off for Konoha, preparing to continue waiting for opportunity to hunt down Mei.

As for White Zetsu’s clone, under Taki’s Byakugan vision, it is confirmed that he has really left.

......

Land of Hot Water.

Hyōketsu and Hidan exited the mental projection state and saw Deidara squatting on the ground, staring at them with bright eyes: “Hey, what were you two doing just now, hmm.”

“We were having a meeting, you little brat. Stop being so nosy!” Hidan picked up his bloody March sickle lying on the ground, stood up, and stretched lazily.

“Deidara, I've reported your situation to the leader, Pain, but he suspects that you are an undercover agent, a double agent, or a spy, so he needs to observe you for a while before officially allowing you to join Akatsuki.”

“How troublesome.”

Deidara complained, “Is there any organization that you can join without investigating, hmm?”

‘Yes, the Abyss...’ Hyōketsu’s eyes flashed with playful light: “No.”

‘Hehe.’

Deidara turned his head, somehow, he felt that his ‘undercover mission’ seemed to have been discovered.

‘This kind of feeling is really annoying, hmm!’
