Chapter 217: Uchiha Itachi, I

As time passed, many people noticed that the atmosphere between the Five Great Nations had become increasingly tense in recent days.

The young people were better off, feeling it wasn't a big deal, but some old people who had experienced the Great Ninja War recalled bad memories.

Fortunately, the Five Great Ninja Villages were not prepared to let the situation continue to be tense, so a piece of news soon spread throughout the ninja world.

That was that the Land of Iron was about to host a new Five Kage Summit.

The Akatsuki organization naturally also learned of this news, but they wouldn't let the ninja world situation, which had finally boiled over, calm down.

In the pitch-black space, nine figures whose faces couldn't be seen formed a circle.

This was the Akatsuki organization members using the Astral Projection Technique to conduct a remote meeting.

In the darkness, Nagato looked at the dazzling pupils of the organization members and couldn't help but say: "Dragon, can't your bloodline limit be turned off?"

"Sorry, my bloodline limit has had some problems recently."

Li Ang shrugged his shoulders.

To cover up the Byakugan, he had to keep the Golden Pupil ignited, but it was indeed a bit conspicuous in this environment.

"..." Nagato didn't dwell too much on this trivial matter, instead saying in a serious tone, "The Five Kage Summit is about to begin; it's just a good opportunity for us to capture the Tailed Beasts."

Although the ninja world situation was very tense right now, as long as the Five Great Ninja Villages met and compared notes, they would discover something wrong.

Perhaps they wouldn't suspect the Akatsuki organization, but they should be able to detect that there was a force in the ninja world secretly stirring up trouble.

By then, if the Akatsuki organization wanted to stir up trouble in secret again, it would clearly be extremely difficult.

There weren't many choices left for them now.

Either wipe out the Five Kage in one go, or take the opportunity to capture the remaining Tailed Beasts.

After all, during the Five Kage Summit, with the departure of the Kage, the defensive strength of the Five Great Ninja Villages would inevitably be much emptier.

And currently, the Akatsuki organization had already captured three Tailed Beasts: the Three-Tails, Four-Tails, and Six-Tails.

Among them, the Four-Tails was captured by Itachi and Kisame finding Roshi when Li Ang and Sasori went to capture the Three-Tails.

Therefore, the Tailed Beasts that didn't belong to any ninja village had all been captured by the Akatsuki organization, and the only ones left were the jinchuriki of the major ninja villages.

With such a great opportunity, Nagato naturally wouldn't miss it.

"Dragon, Sasori, the One-Tails is still left to you two."

As expected, the One-Tails was still left to Sasori, this missing-nin of the Hidden Sand, but this would require Li Ang and the other to intercept and kill Gaara, who was heading to the Land of Iron to attend the Five Kage Summit.

Hearing this, Li Ang nodded in agreement, while Sasori was silent, not knowing what he was thinking.

After arranging the tasks for Li Ang and the other, Nagato arranged the tasks for the others.
