Before leaving, Lin Yu asked Orochimaru again, "Where do you plan to go after leaving Konoha?"
Orochimaru said sinisterly, "I originally planned to go to the Land of Rice Fields, but now, it depends on how Lord Lin Yu arranges for me."
Lin Yu thought for a moment and said, "We'll meet in the Land of Waterfalls. I'll introduce you to a few people then!"
Orochimaru narrowed his eyes and said, "Oh? Are they members of our organization?"
"You are not yet a member of our organization. Watch your words, or I won't be able to save you!"
Lin Yu left Orochimaru's house without looking back. He still had preparations to make.
Orochimaru watched Lin Yu's retreating figure until he disappeared, and sighed, "Has the kid from back then grown up too quickly!"
But... I, Orochimaru, am not like that fool Jiraiya. I will definitely possess power comparable to that of 'gods' in the future!
...
In the distant Land of Rain, Nagato, standing atop a tall tower, sneezed for no reason. This made him very embarrassed. Fortunately, everyone around him was his own people, and no new members had joined yet. Otherwise, wouldn't the 'god' lose face!
Which bastard is thinking of me? If I find out, I'll beat him to death!
Nagato said coldly, "After two years of rest and recuperation, the Land of Rain is firmly under our control. It's time to recruit new members!"
"Do you have any good candidates?" asked Tobi, wearing a spiral mask.
"Kakuzu of Takigakure. I heard he once assassinated the First Hokage. He's very powerful!"
"Oh? An old monster who survived the Warring States period?"
Black Zetsu slowly emerged from underground and said with a sinister smile, "Sasori of Sunagakure is also a good candidate!"
"That's right! This is a target that Tobi and I discovered together. A young, tender, and fresh meat! I wonder what his feces are like!"
Wherever Black Zetsu went, Tobi was sure to follow.
Nagato had no objections to Black Zetsu joining the organization, as he was considered a subordinate of Senior Lin Yu, and his excellent intelligence-gathering abilities were also indispensable to their Akatsuki organization.
As for this Tobi... it's not worth mentioning!
Nagato pondered for a moment and said, "I'll go to Takigakure for Kakuzu myself. As for Sunagakure..."
"I'll go!"
Konan's beautiful face appeared on the tall tower, her voice clear and pleasant.
"No! Konan, you stay here to guard the base," Nagato immediately rejected Konan's suggestion.
Konan said coldly, "The entire Land of Rain is under our control, and the base will not be in danger."
"I disagree!"
"Let Konan go!"
Lin Yu's figure suddenly appeared beside Konan, taking the paper umbrella from her hand and saying softly.
"Senior Lin Yu!"
The people present were already accustomed to Lin Yu's sudden appearance. They all knew that Lin Yu possessed some kind of space ninjutsu, allowing him to appear instantly beside someone.
This also gave them a sense of security. If a crisis occurred, Senior Lin Yu could quickly come to the rescue.
Nagato pretended to ponder for a moment and said, "In that case, Tobi and I will be responsible for Kakuzu, and Konan and Tobi will be responsible for Sasori."
Why pretend to ponder? Because Nagato's chuunibyou acted up. A 'god' cannot obey anyone!
Lin Yu smiled and said, "I'll go to Takigakure then. I need you to help me deter someone."
Upon hearing that Lin Yu was going to Takigakure, Konan became somewhat unhappy, but her fair and delicate pretty face still maintained a cool demeanor.
"Alright, I won't disturb your organization's gathering."
Lin Yu gently hugged Konan and whispered in her ear, "There's still one year left!"
*Swish!*
Lin Yu's figure disappeared. However, everyone present, except Konan, was confused. What did "one year left" mean?
Are the Otsutsuki coming? So soon? Nagato and Tobi were eager to try. Their current strength was completely different from two years ago!
As for Black Zetsu and Tobi, these two non-human beings knew nothing.
As for Hoshigaki Kisame, this fool who had been successfully brainwashed by Tobi was still earning bounties outside. He was truly supporting the entire organization by himself, but soon someone would replace him!
Only Konan, who knew the inside story, quickly spread her wings and flew into the sky without looking back. A hint of shyness appeared on her cool, pretty face. Lin Yu was too much!
...
In Kushina's drowsy gaze, Lin Yu rushed out the door without stopping. This made Kushina, who was taking a nap, heave a sigh of relief. She thought Lin Yu wanted that during the day!
How shameful!
Lin Yu's actions were not solely for recruiting Orochimaru. His Eternal Life Organization was ready to make its formal debut in the ninja world!
If Orochimaru couldn't invent a communication tool similar to a mobile phone for him this time, he would definitely make Nagato and Tobi teach Orochimaru a harsh lesson!
He, Lin Yu, didn't want to be so busy anymore! He was practically a human pager! The Mangekyo Sharingan wasn't meant to be squandered like this!
Training Ground 417 of Konoha. Lin Yu found Shisui, who was diligently training, and landed beside him, panting. His waist hurt!
Of course, this was just a subconscious feeling. In reality, with Lin Yu's Sage Body, waist pain didn't exist! But can you imagine how terrifying the combat power of Kushina, who had the excellent physique of the Uzumaki clan, was?
Ordinary people couldn't withstand it at all!
"Teacher Lin Yu, why are you here? Did something happen to the clan or Konoha?!" Shisui asked worriedly.
"Not really, but in a few days, Shisui, you might have to take action!"
The first half was fine, but the latter half made Shisui's heart tense up. He anxiously asked, "Are we going to act against our clansmen so soon? Teacher Lin Yu, isn't this a bit too hasty?"
Lin Yu pointed to Shisui's ninja pouch and said, "It's not acting against your Uchiha clan, it's acting against the entire Konoha! The Eternal Life Organization should reveal itself!"
"What!"
Shisui was even more shocked! Was Teacher Lin Yu joking? He used to think about eliminating the radical Uchiha faction, but now it had escalated to eliminating Konoha! Should I use my Kotoamatsukami on Teacher Lin Yu?
Lin Yu knew Shisui had misunderstood and quickly explained, "It's just a deterrence mission. It's to make Konoha and the Uchiha clan pay enough attention to our Eternal Life Organization. This way, you'll have enough confidence to stop the Uchiha rebellion under the title 'Phantom God' in the future!"
Shisui nodded. Although the name Eternal Life Organization was already well-known, it had been more than ten years. How much deterrence was left? Many people even speculated that the person in black robes back then had already died of old age, as they hadn't appeared for so many years!
"I understand. What should I do?"
Lin Yu smiled and said, "Just show your full strength. It's okay to kill some Konoha ninjas. There are so many rotten elements in the village, Shisui, you understand, right?"
Shisui would not hesitate to deal with people who were harmful to the village. He asked, "Teacher Lin Yu, do you have their information?"
Lin Yu looked in the direction of the Hokage Building and said, "That depends on how much courage our other organization member has!"
