Kong Ming saw the leader of the Akatsuki organization, Payne, in the cave at the border of the Kingdom of Sand, and the phantoms of several other Akatsuki organization members presented by the magic lantern body technique.

"Let me introduce, this is the new companion who has joined our Akatsuki organization, codename Kong Ming." Payne briefly introduced, this is a brief ceremony that every new member of the Akatsuki organization needs to undergo.

Under the scrutiny of several eyes, Kong Ming remained silent, just looking back at the past with his white eyes.

"Another boring idiot." The man wearing the forehead protector around his neck grunted, unabashedly expressing his first impression of this new companion.

"Before you call others idiots, you'd better take a look at yourself... If you move the thread around your neck again, it will break." A deep voice sounded next to the cynical man, and Ning Qi turned to look Go, that's a tall man wearing a mask, only showing his eyes.

The immortal duo.

Hidan and Kakuzu.

"Why do I think this guy looks familiar...Hey, have I seen you somewhere?" A young man leaned forward, as if he wanted to see more clearly.

"Look at the forehead protector on his head. He is a rebellious ninja of Konoha. Is it your turn to speak here?" A hoarse voice came from the mouth of the half-length dwarf next to the young man. Said sarcastically.

"Scorpion, you are such a long-winded guy!!" The young man clenched his fists angrily.

Artistic duo.

Deidara and Scorpion.

"Indeed, if you want to reminisce about the past, of course you need Mr. Itachi, who was once known as the two prides of Konoha with Mr. Kongming, to speak..." A man with shark eyes recognized the new member almost immediately. Face, he smiled and glanced at the Sharingan young man beside him and said.

"..."

The latter did not respond, but stared at Kong Ming closely. Kong Ming also tilted his head with feeling, and their eyes were burning in the air.

"Two prides of Konoha? It turns out it's you... who was offered a reward of 60 million taels. It's true that I joined the Akatsuki organization. It's beyond my expectation that the leader invited you here..." Kakuzu looked at Kong Ming, as if Looking at his favorite prey.

"Two prides of Konoha? What are those?" Hidan scratched his head and asked.

No one paid any attention to him.

"I'll just tell you where I've seen you! I've heard about you -" Deidara, who was extremely excited, paused, then spread his hands, his voice rising with great excitement, "You did a great job !”

"It's a masterpiece - blasting Konoha, even though you used ordinary means like detonating talismans... But no matter what, you are the real genius who can understand art!!!"

"It's a pity that I was not able to be there and witness the birth of this great art. Alas..."

"Scorpion, I don't want to team up with you anymore. I want to team up with Kong Ming who can understand the truth that 'art is explosion'!!"

"Kong Ming, come with me to blow up Yanyin Village!!!"

Xie snorted in a low voice and didn't pay attention to his companion's nonsense. He just stared at Kong Ming coldly.

It turns out to be this guy...

"The Akatsuki organization really has a big shot..."

"Hey, what are you talking about? Who is he?" Hidan shouted impatiently.

"It's okay, just sew your neck."

"How dare you underestimate me?!"

There was a lot of noise in the cave.

Payne seemed to feel something. He glanced at Kong Ming, who had been silent beside him, and then glanced at Uchiha Itachi, who was looking at Kong Ming, and frowned.

...Use the lantern body technique to perform Tsukuyomi?

The Tsukuyomi space welcomed a rare regular visitor.

In this illusion world of red light, countless Kongming were hung on countless crosses, and standing in front of him were countless Itachis.

Both parties are already familiar with communicating in this way.

Kong Ming, who has illusions and a substitute, doesn't care about it at all.

"Why would someone like you join the Akatsuki organization?" Itachi finally asked after looking at each other for a long time.

"How come someone like you didn't return to Konoha?" Kong Ming on the cross retorted lightly.

Today is no better than in previous years. In the current time and space, due to Ning Qi's intervention, Uchiha Itachi did not complete the historical events of the night of genocide. He was ordered to stop the Uchiha rebellion but failed. Instead, he disappeared directly in Konoha and Uchiha. In the sight of both sides.

The Uchiha clan believed that Itachi's disappearance was due to his weak temperament. When the choice came, he did not choose either side, but ultimately chose to escape.

The Konoha side was a little more tolerant. They did not regard Itachi as a defector. In this timeline, they did not even issue a reward for Itachi.

It seems that from Konoha's point of view, Itachi has done everything he can. Even the information about the Uchiha clan's rebellion was given to them by Itachi. The time is quite accurate, but Konoha itself is not ready for the battle. .

In this time and space, There is no sin in Itachi's hands, and he no longer needs to bear the responsibility of killing his own clan. Although the Uchiha clan in Konoha has reached the point where everyone shouts and beats rats crossing the street, for Itachi, Konoha has always left him with After obtaining his position, he was able to go back, but he did not choose to go back. Instead, he still followed the original plot and joined the Akatsuki organization, which was a bit unusual.

After all, the relationship between the Akatsuki Organization and Konoha is pretty good now. Itachi should not have the need to go undercover to monitor the movements of the Akatsuki Organization as in the original work. He should have other purposes.

"Is this the freedom you want?" Itachi asked calmly.

Although Itachi once almost died under Ning Qi's sword, in the final analysis, it was just that the two sides had different positions. The Uchiha clan's decision to rebel was something that no one could change. Itachi tried, but failed, and he did not hate Ning Qi for this. .

In other words, precisely because of Ning Qi's appearance, Itachi was able to avoid falling into the tragedy of killing his own people.

Itachi failed to bear this sin, so Konoha and even the entire world fell into the quagmire of the Fourth Ninja War.

In any case, the past is in the past, the war has broken out, everything in the past is over and can no longer be undone. The only thing that makes people feel at ease is that the crisis in Konoha has followed the return of those Konoha heroes. Most of it has been lifted, the darkness is about to pass, and dawn is just around the corner.

But even so, when he saw Ning Qi again, Itachi couldn't help but ask the question that had been hidden in his heart for a long time.

"Rebel Konoha and join the Akatsuki organization?"

"Fighting for an idea that you can't possibly be interested in?"

"From one cage to another?"

"Do you think it's cheap?" Kong Ming's mouth raised a slight arc, "You may not understand it, but yes, this is the freedom I want."

"You misunderstood. The freedom you got at the cost of the Fourth Ninja War and the countless lives you took away by causing chaos in Konoha, I don't think it is cheap. On the contrary, it is very thick and amazing. "Itachi said softly. He has matured a lot since the night before the rebellion. "I just don't understand why you came to this muddy water. You have other purposes for joining the Akatsuki organization, right?"

Kong Ming's eyes became a little more serious, but his expression was still playful, and he lightly mocked:

"You have always thought highly of yourself, Itachi. You think you know me very well, but if you really did, you wouldn't have lost to me in the first place."

"Stop it," Itachi shook his head and persuaded, not going along with him, "No matter what you want to do, the Akatsuki organization is very dangerous and there is something hidden behind it."

Kong Ming twitched his lips: "What about you? When Konoha is in crisis, why did you come to the Akatsuki organization?"

"Konoha does not lack me alone. What it lacks is a strong helping hand. This is the meaning of my appearance here." Itachi did not hide that he joined the Akatsuki organization just to connect them with Konoha.

Now it seems that the effect is good.

I see.

Kong Ming nodded slightly, which solved a question in his mind. The Akatsuki organization can come together with Konoha. Even though they have similar interests, they have never trusted each other. This matter must be connected by an intermediary.

Itachi seemed to have done a lot of work for the Akatsuki organization.

"Does Pain know about this?" Kong Ming asked.

"I know, but he doesn't care," Itachi paused and said in an inexplicable tone, "Just like he doesn't care about Konoha's feelings, but he still wants to win you into the Akatsuki organization."

There is a deep hatred between Ning Qi and Konoha. Ning Qi's joining the Akatsuki organization will inevitably lead to the complete breakdown of the already fragile relationship between Konoha and the Akatsuki organization. As the leader of the Akatsuki organization, Payne could not have foreseen this.

"The Eight-Tails has been obtained. It is only a matter of time before we take action against the Nine-Tails. It is understandable." Kong Ming nodded slightly.

In the real world, he had seen Kirabi, the Eight-Tailed Jinchūriki dragging in Pain's hand.

"Didn't you go to Pain's side this time because you wanted to take action against Konoha?" Itachi suddenly asked.

Kong Ming didn't care that this reminiscence between "old friends" suddenly turned into an exchange of information. He and Itachi had many similarities, and Itachi was one of the rare Uchiha clan members who would not be swayed by emotions.

In the eyes of people like them, results are more important than process, and interests are more important than right or wrong.

Kong Ming shook his head and denied: "No, the reincarnation of the dirt developed by Konoha was beyond everyone's expectations. They are now at their peak, and they are enemies of the four major ninja villages. The Akatsuki organization needs Konoha to stand in front and Don’t be in a hurry to break up with Konoha.”

Itachi's eyebrows slightly relaxed.

Kong Ming blinked and said with a smile: "Why, are you afraid that the Akatsuki organization will take action against Konoha?"

Itachi said nothing, just glanced at Kong Ming.

Kong Ming came to his senses and said "ha". It turned out that he was afraid that I would take action against Konoha.

"You think highly of me." Kong Ming reminded him. Even Pain is quite afraid of Konoha now. Those guys who crawled out of the coffin have already beaten Kumogakure's troops to pieces. , is about to be driven out of the Fire Country, and it is no longer something that a lone ranger like Kong Ming can easily control.

Itachi said "ha". The reason why things have developed to this point is because he didn't pay enough attention to Ning Qi at the beginning... The troubles this guy can cause far exceed his own strength and cannot be taken lightly.

"What happened when the Daimyo of the Kingdom of Wind was assassinated?" Itachi changed the subject.

"It was Hei Jue's hand... Why, didn't they notify you before they took action?" Kong Ming asked with a low smile.

"You think highly of me." Itachi replied in Kong Ming's words.

Members of the Akatsuki organization have no obligation to inform each other about their private actions unless they have certain interactions, especially things that may undermine the trust within the members.

After all, members of the Akatsuki organization assassinated the Daimyo of the Land of Wind, which would inevitably lead to Sunagakure Village going to war against Konoha while pursuing the Akatsuki organization. Interested parties like Itachi, who are Konoha spies, do not need to hear about this. Really, otherwise it would be too sentimental.

"The impact of this incident is very bad." Itachi said seriously.

"Is it worse than collecting tailed beasts?" Kong Ming sneered.

He felt that Itachi should have expected this after learning about the Akatsuki organization's plan.

Itachi ignored Kong Ming's taunting, but reminded: "Assassinating the daimyo will make Akatsuki a vigilant target for the daimyo of other countries, and it may become a real enemy of the world."

Kong Ming frowned and asked, "Do you care about this?"

"No, I just doubt Akatsuki's real purpose of paying such a price." Itachi said softly.

So that’s it. Kong Ming nodded and said casually:

"There is no doubt that someone behind the scenes is a little anxious and doesn't want to see the war stop."

Itachi frowned at the person Kong Ming mentioned, not quite sure who he was talking about.

Kong Ming noticed his expression and asked, "So, where are you from?"

"What about you? Where are you from?" Itachi asked.

"I represent myself," Kong Ming replied.

"Me too." Itachi nodded.

Kong Ming stared at him for a while, then suddenly thought of something and laughed out loud: "So that's it, you are on the side of Konoha and Uchiha at the same time!"

In the past, Itachi could only choose sides between Konoha and Uchiha. However, since Konoha and Uchiha parted ways due to disputes, this genius of the Uchiha clan can finally no longer have to face the conflict between the clan and the village. Suddenly, there was a sharp confrontation.

Because of this, he is still circulating between Konoha and Uchiha.

This time he is really sitting on the fence.

"Is it because Sasuke ran away with the Uchiha clan?" Kong Ming knew that Itachi was extremely disappointed with the Uchiha clan. Because of Ning Qi's appearance, this time and space was almost over without the tragedy of him killing his own clan with his own hands. It would be the best outcome for that clan not to have any contact with each other in this life, but Itachi still wants to get involved now, so the only reason can only be because of Sasuke.

Itachi's expression was a little ugly. He didn't know how Kong Ming found out. He consciously did it very secretly.

"Say hello to Setsuna-sama for me," Kongmei's laughter gradually stopped, and he asked lightly, "So... are the Uchiha clan okay now?"

"What do you want to do?" Itachi raised his head.

There was a residual smile on Kong Ming's face. His tone was gentle, but his words were like an evil ghost: "I have a method that can absorb the blood limit of the same race. Do you need it?"

Itachi's pupils suddenly dilated.

His voice trembled: "Is this the reason why the Hyuga clan was exterminated?"

Kong Ming shook his head:

"This may also be the reason why the Uchiha clan was exterminated."
