Chapter 1037

When this worker girl first met Kisame, the impression she gave Kisame was that her combat strength was not strong.

If she is a worker and has unlocked personal favorability with Kisame, then her reason for joining the Akatsuki organization is very simple: she came to cling to a powerful figure, using her auxiliary abilities to obtain Kisame's protection.

This kind of thing is very common. Compared to contractors, powerful plot characters are the most preferred choice for workers. First, they can understand the personality, good and evil, and extremely detailed personal data of plot characters through the original work. Seeking protection from contractors is different; that has a gambling nature.

"Let's not discuss these things for now; that side might not be able to hold on at any moment."

Su Xiao spoke suddenly. The 'that side' he referred to was Deidara. As for why he said it this way, it was because the worker girl was present.

Obito immediately understood Su Xiao's meaning.

"Hmm, let's deal with that matter first."

"You guys are..."

Kisame did not yet know the news that Deidara had been captured, but he understood Su Xiao's meaning within a few seconds. Whether the person he brought was trustworthy, only he himself knew; Su Xiao, Obito, and the others did not know.

"I chased this 'octopus' across the Land of Iron and need to rest. As for her joining, we'll talk about it later."

Kisame did not ask what Su Xiao and the others were going to do, because he knew that now was not the time to ask.

Su Xiao and the others walked out of the base. The worker girl looked at Su Xiao with some disbelief. She did not expect Su Xiao's status in the Akatsuki organization to be so high; this could be seen from the reactions of Obito and Kisame.

"Seniors, I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Rose."

Rose smiled very brightly and even waved at Su Xiao and the others.

Rose was exactly that woman who hunted down contractors in the Land of Iron, with eyes like black gemstones, wearing backless leather clothing, and a spider lily tattooed on her back. At that time, Rose's temperament was completely different from now. If Rose at that time was like a killing angel cleansing heretics, now she was like a pure white rose.

Rose's strongest ability was not her combat strength, but her skill in changing her own temperament. Even though her hands were stained with blood, when she smiled, those black gemstone-like eyes were always so clear.

Su Xiao's footsteps paused, and he tilted his head to look at Rose. For some reason, he felt this woman was not quite right.

"Worker... joining the Akatsuki organization."

Su Xiao muttered. He did not yet know how high the personal favorability between this woman and Kisame was, but what could be certain was that it should not be low, otherwise Kisame would not have introduced her.

"What's wrong?"

Obito noticed Su Xiao's footsteps had stopped and looked puzzled.

"Nothing."

Su Xiao stepped forward and walked out of the base. He was not prepared to pay attention to this woman named Rose for the time being. Regardless of what purpose the other party had, if she really harbored malice, as long as she was within the Akatsuki organization, Su Xiao had many ways to deal with her, no matter how high her personal favorability with Kisame was.

Su Xiao belongs to the veteran-level members within the Akatsuki organization. If he and Kisame had a disagreement, Obito would most likely mediate in the middle, remaining neutral. The person who would truly support Su Xiao is currently being held in the Land of Earth.

As long as Deidara is rescued, then this girl named Rose wanting to join Akatsuki is purely wishful thinking, regardless of what her purpose is.

Although she was not too suspicious, Su Xiao had many enemies, and this was his habitual vigilance. Who knew, this time he might have actually guessed correctly by accident.

After Su Xiao and the others left the base, Kisame and Rose entered the base. The tired Kisame went to the depths of the base to rest, while Rose sat at a stone table, resting her chin in her hands.

"I always feel something is wrong. Why do I have a feeling of actively delivering myself to the door?"

Rose's bright black eyes narrowed. She had originally thought Su Xiao was just an ordinary member of the Akatsuki organization; now it seemed that was not the case.

"Observe for a period of time first and find a suitable opportunity. Sure enough, just like Xiao Hei said, I am completely at an elementary school level in terms of planning. I always feel that the more I do, the stupider I become. No, it's stupid to the point of being an eyesore, just like I ate brain-damaged pills."

Rose discarded all the 'grand' plans in her mind. She prepared to be simpler and more brutal; this was her style of doing things, and this was also her strength: being able to discover in time whether her actions were correct, and she would find a way to correct them as soon as possible.

"Before the Naruto World ends, it's either you die or I die. Hmm, this is the wisest choice. Going around in circles might just lead to my own death."

Rose murmured, feeling much more relieved in her heart. At this moment, she suddenly admired a certain former teammate; the other party was simply incredibly smooth when it came to conspiracies and schemes. As for her, from beginning to end, the only thing she was good at was hacking people.

"Sure enough, sacrificing one's looks or something is simply stupid to the extreme. What on earth was I thinking at that time? Fortunately, no one heard it; it's too embarrassing."

Rose chuckled. The base was dead silent, with only occasional screams coming from it; it was Sasuke, who had just finished surgery.

Two days later, within the Land of Rain.

Dark clouds covered the sun, the sky was pitch black, and muffled thunder sounded from time to time.

Muddy water splashed as a group of people sped past. It rains 70% of the time in the Land of Rain, which leads to the ground being muddy and unbearable.

Su Xiao and the others crossed the Land of Fire and arrived within the Land of Rain, which borders the Land of Fire. The east side of the Land of Rain is the Land of Fire, and the west side borders the Land of Earth. The purpose of Su Xiao and the others' trip was a village within the Land of Earth, and the path was almost a straight line.

At this time, the Land of Rain was garrisoned by a large number of Hidden Leaf ninja, but this had nothing to do with Su Xiao and the others. As long as they did not approach the Hidden Rain Village, the possibility of encountering Hidden Leaf ninja was not high.

The process of traveling was inevitably somewhat boring. Along the way, White Zetsu would occasionally appear to report the situation of Deidara or the current status of the Five Great Ninja Villages to Obito. Among them, three things were relatively important.

1. The Hidden Cloud Village has already selected a new Raikage, who is said to be very young.

2. The civil war in the Hidden Mist Village has broken out again, but under the mediation of the Hidden Sand Village and the Hidden Leaf, the civil war has stopped, and a new acting Mizukage has been selected. It is an elder of the Hidden Mist Village, an old schemer whose political intelligence is no lower than Danzo's.

3. The Fifth Hokage of the Hidden Leaf, Tsunade, has recovered from her injuries and resumed the position of Hokage. Tsunade possesses the Sage Body and can recover very normally. In fact, she had recovered long ago, but she had her power seized by Danzo during her convalescence. Once Danzo died, she resumed the position of Hokage in a justified manner.

It must be said that the Five Great Ninja Villages have a deep foundation. Just after three Kage were killed, in just a few days, they stabilized their footing. This is also the situation Su Xiao hoped to see. Without a Kage in a ninja village, they cannot conduct external wars at all; at most, it is internal strife.

The new Raikage of the Hidden Cloud Village is not worth worrying about; that is a Kage pushed into the position by the situation. The Hidden Mist Village side should not be underestimated; after all, the Hidden Mist Village has been in civil war for many years, and the name 'Bloody Mist' is not called that for nothing. If a war really breaks out, they will be very active.

As for the Hidden Leaf, there is no need to pay attention to it for the time being. The internal restoration of the village has not been completed, not to mention the hidden dangers left by Danzo, which are enough to give Tsunade a headache.

Judging from the current situation, the Ninja World War might not be far off.

This is good news for Su Xiao, but bad news for Obito. The power he has accumulated so far is not enough to wage war against the Five Great Ninja Villages.

After three days of traveling, the group arrived within the Land of Earth.
