Chapter 206: Confused Payne

The sun rises and the moon sets, heralding the arrival of a new day.

Because it takes a lot of time to extract the chakra of the tailed beast and enter the outer path demon statue.

In order not to be disturbed, Black Zetsu must buy enough time for the Akatsuki organization.

Its method is actually very simple.

Just let White Zetsu use the disguise technique to pretend to be Gaara.

As long as they are not close to each other, others can't tell the difference between White Zetsu and the original body just by relying on chakra and appearance.

It just so happens that Gaara's personal people in the Sand Village have been sent out of the village to do tasks by people arranged by it, and they can't come back without two or three days.

During this period, White Zetsu, who pretends to be Gaara, only needs to be cautious in his words and deeds, and the probability of being seen through can be ignored.

"From today on, you are Gaara, do you understand?"

"Of course I understand, I'm not an idiot, do you need to say this?"

Listening to White Zetsu's words, Black Zetsu's eyes twitched.

As we all know, the personalities of species like White Zetsu are more or less problematic.

This is the most normal guy that Black Zetsu thinks so far.

Except for his slightly poisonous mouth, everything else is fine.

At least much better than that White Zetsu who always wants to know what it feels like to poop.

"This is related to our big business, so we must not be careless."

"It's your big business, not mine."

".Okay, be careful, I'm going back to the Hidden Rain Village."

"Kneel down!"

"."

The corners of Black Zetsu's mouth moved, but in the end he said nothing, and disappeared into the ground.

It took Minato Namikaze and his group a day to finally get here in the capital of the River Country.

It's no wonder that they are so fast, because Chiyo can't wait to know the information about her grandson Scorpion.

Originally, seeing Chiyo so anxious, Minato wanted to use Flying Thunder God to fly directly to the River Country.

Before going to the Sand Village, he had considered this situation and gave Jiraiya a Flying Thunder God Kunai.

But Chiyo still didn't trust Minato, the Konoha ninja.

He was afraid that Minato would send him to some strange place.

So, it was better to go to the River Country by rushing.

"Sit down, Elder Chiyo."

In an ordinary hotel, Jiraiya, who had been waiting for a long time, also politely poured a cup of tea for Chiyo.

After all, she was an elder older than him, so he had to be polite.

"Don't waste time, I didn't come here to drink tea with you."

Chiyo spoke frankly, and Jiraiya didn't mind.

Seeing Naruto yawn and a little tired on his face, he simply asked Minato to take Naruto to rest.

Anyway, Minato already knew what he would say to Chiyo, and it didn't matter whether Minato stayed here or not, so it was better to let them have a good rest.

"Elder Chiyo, have you heard of Akatsuki?"

Minato and Naruto went to rest, and Jiraiya went straight to the point and opened the topic of this negotiation.

"Akatsuki? I have heard of it. It seems to be a mercenary organization with rebel ninjas as the main members. What do you mean?"

Seeing Chiyo's reaction, Jiraiya nodded and replied: "Yes, Scorpion is in this organization."

After so many years, there is finally accurate news about Scorpion. Chiyo is very excited and almost shed tears.

After a while, Chiyo calmed down and asked: "Tell me, what are the requirements of Konoha."

As an old man in the ninja world, Chiyo knows that there is no such thing as a pie in the sky.

To let Jiraiya, the fifth generation Hokage, come to negotiate with him personally, on the one hand, he is valued, and on the other hand, he is probably aiming for something big.

"Elder Chiyo also knows the current situation in the ninja world. The small actions of Iwagakure and Kumogakure make us feel very annoyed."

"So, you want our Sand Village to help you deal with Iwagakure and Kumogakure? Excuse me, the current Sand Village may no longer be able to help Konoha fight against these two ninja villages."

Chiyo's words were very straightforward, clearly stating that the Sand Village would not help Konoha fight against Iwagakure and Kumogakure.

Not to mention that Scorpion's information was Chiyo's private matter, even if it was a serious official business, the Sand Village did not have the strength to help Konoha.

"Elder Chiyo misunderstood me."

Chiyo's straightforward refusal did not make Jiraiya angry. He just shook his head and continued, "We in Konoha will not force Sand Village to fight against Kumogakure and Iwagakure. We only need Sand Village's ore and other supplies."

"Is it that simple?"

"It's that simple!"

To be honest, if Sand Village was asked to take out daily necessities such as water, soy sauce, and salt, Chiyo might consider it.

After all, Sand Village itself lacks these things, so how could it give them to Konoha?

It's just that for things like ore, Sand Village doesn't have everything, but it can be said that it has a lot.

There is nothing lacking in the desert, except for ore.

Because sand itself is a kind of ore, there is technology in the Sand Village to further purify the minerals in the sand.

So in Chiyo's opinion, Jiraiya's request is too low.

Perhaps seeing Chiyo agree so readily, Jiraiya immediately said: "If possible, I want the purchase price of ore to be cheaper."

"No problem, Konoha only needs to pay us 90% of the market price."

"Haha, then thank you, Elder Chiyo."

Chiyo looked at Jiraiya deeply, and replied seriously: "Then you can tell me in detail about this Akatsuki organization now."

With rich life experience, Chiyo knew that there must be a pitfall in this Akatsuki organization.

This is why she agreed to Jiraiya's request so readily after knowing the whereabouts of Scorpion.

It is because she wants to know more about this Akatsuki organization.

She doesn't believe that the organization that her good grandson joined will be an ordinary rebellious ninja mercenary organization.

"Okay, I'll talk to Elder Chiyo about Akatsuki now."

Jiraiya didn't mention the contract.

With their respective identities in the village, verbal promises are equally effective.

Unless Chiyo wants to completely break off relations with Konoha.

Does Sand Village have the strength to break off relations with Konoha?

That's obviously not the case.

"Akatsuki is a very dangerous rebel ninja organization, and every official member is an S-level rebel ninja."

Here, Jiraiya is explaining Akatsuki to Chiyo.

On the other side, after a long journey, Kisame also returned to Kumogakure.

When Tendou Pain saw the One-tail Jinchuriki thrown to the ground by Kisame, he was completely dumbfounded.

After his brain went blank for a second, Tendo Pain stared at Kisame and said, "Kisame, I don't remember the organization assigning you the task of capturing the One-Tail Jinchuriki. You'd better explain to me, what's going on?"

"Eh~ Didn't Zetsu say that you want to start the plan in advance and let me capture the One-Tail Jinchuriki?"

Without hesitation, Kisame threw the blame to Black Zetsu.

He was just a part-time worker, and he couldn't bear the blame like this.

"."

Seeing that Pain didn't say anything, but just stared at him.

Kisame, who was a little scared by being looked at, pretended to be calm and said, "Or, should I send him back?"

". Forget it, you take a rest first, I'll notify the members of the organization and start extracting the chakra of the One-Tail."

After that, without waiting for Kisame to respond, Pain dragged Gaara back to the base.
