Chapter 212: The Madman Obito

Since the Three-Tails had no jinchūriki, sealing it into the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path did not require casting the Illusory Dragon Nine Seals.

After watching the enormous Demonic Statue of the Outer Path open yet another eye, Changmen spoke up: "Well done, Orochi, Scorpion."

This leader of the Akatsuki had not quite expected the plan to progress so smoothly, and so far none of the Five Great Nations had reacted.

No — it would be more accurate to say that the atmosphere among the Five Great Nations had grown increasingly tense.

Zetsu could absorb others' chakra to achieve a disguise effect; perhaps this technique was useless in direct combat, but for stoking the fire it was simply a divine skill.

As a result, in recent days the Five Great Shinobi Villages had experienced sporadic incidents of shinobi from other nations launching attacks.

At first, a few clever people grew suspicious and noticed something off about it.

But no matter where one looked, the mediocre and the dull-witted always made up the majority in the end.

Swept along by the tide, recent friction among the Five Great Nations had grown increasingly fierce, and there were even rumors that a Five Kage Summit would be convened once more.

At that moment, a cold voice came from inside Hiruko: "I was only responsible for dragging the Three-Tails back."

Hearing this, Changmen glanced at Li Ang beside him.

Regarding this newly joined member of the organization, he had repeatedly raised his estimate of the man, but now it seemed that still wasn't enough.

'Then what is your purpose?'

He didn't think Li Ang was an idealist like himself; in fact, within the Akatsuki there were basically only a few who shared his path.

At that moment, Li Ang suddenly spoke: "Leader, aren't you going to deal with the issue of Uchiha Itachi?"

Although there was no clear evidence proving Uchiha Itachi was a spy sent by Konoha, he was unquestionably the most unstable among all current members.

It was fine for now while the plan was still in its early stages, but if the Fourth Great Ninja War truly broke out later, who knew whether he might reveal all of Akatsuki's schemes to Konoha.

Changmen couldn't help but be stunned: "What problem?"

Li Ang looked at Changmen, who seemed to be completely in the dark, and for a moment was also somewhat dumbfounded.

Dude, you really don't know Uchiha Itachi has a problem?

He had always assumed Changmen knew Uchiha Itachi's identity was problematic; even if Itachi wasn't a Konoha spy, when Akatsuki threatened Konoha and Uchiha Sasuke, the man might still defect.
