Konan was dazed, watching Kakuzu pick up a white silk handkerchief, pinch her fingers again and again, and even wiped the fingernails on her hand, which were painted with orange nail polish, making them shine brightly.
She had never thought that someone like Lord Kakuzu would have such a delicate side.
After the polishing, she felt a bit thirsty and couldn't help but want to get a glass of water to drink.
As a result, Kakuzu saw through her intention and forcibly pressed her to sit down.
"Angel-sama, if you want to drink water, just say so. I'll pour it for you," After speaking, Kakuzu eagerly went to pour the water.
At this moment, he was extremely excited in his heart.
Obito had told him that joining the Akatsuki Organization was a chance to make a fortune. Back then, he hadn't believed a single word.
It was just that he was forced by threats of violence and had no choice but to agree.
But now, he could simply see a broad and bright road.
'Konan, no, Angel-sama's technique of paper manipulation isn't some divine ninjutsu, it is basically a money-printing technique.'
'Even robbery isn't this fast.'
Just like that, Kakuzu attentively brought over a cup of hot water, even blew on it for Konan to make sure the temperature was right before handing it to her.
"Angel-sama, please drink."
Konan was a little scared and didn't dare to take it, 'Lord Kakuzu is suddenly acting so unusually, who knows what nerve has gone wrong?'
At this moment, Obito brought along Sara, Sasori of the Red Sand, and Uchiha Madara, and the three of them teleported over.
Sasori stood there stunned. Just now, he had been transported by Obito into a mysterious black-and-white space, but not long after, he had been thrown out again.
The surrounding environment had completely changed. Not the desert anymore, but a somewhat simple-looking office.
"This is… where?", Sasori couldn't help but ask.
Madara said lightly, "Amegakure, Akatsuki base."
"What!", Sasori widened his eyes.
In an instant, he had gone from the Land of Wind to the Land of Rain.
'Madara has no reason to lie to me, so is it this kid playing tricks?'
None of the three Uchiha were simple characters.
In an instant, his estimation of Akatsuki's power level went up another notch.
'Who knew when such a powerful organization emerged in the ninja world?'
At this moment, Konan and Kakuzu also came back to their senses. Because Obito had used this ability a few times already to fetch supplies for Akatsuki, Konan wasn't too surprised.
She just looked at the people beside Obito, aside from Madara, and asked, "Obito-kun, are there new members joining?"
Obito nodded, "Konan-neesan, please gather everyone in the hall. There's a big matter to discuss."
Konan nodded and immediately went to notify Yahiko and Nagato.
Kakuzu squinted his eyes and looked at the unfamiliar faces who had arrived.
Each of them exuded an aura that said they weren't to be messed with.
Soon, on Konan's side, all Akatsuki members who were staying at the base were gathered.
Everyone came together in the hall, Yahiko and Nagato curiously looking at the two new members.
Obito pointed at the two and introduced them one by one, "This is Sasori of the Red Sand, and this is Sara."
Yahiko smiled and took the initiative to reach out his hand, "Welcome to the team. I'm Yahiko, the leader of Akatsuki. From now on, we're family."
Sasori and Sara were both stunned and instinctively looked toward Madara.
'Isn't Madara the real leader? How come there is another one?'
Sasori saw that Madara didn't say anything, so he muddle-headedly shook hands with Yahiko.
To be honest, he had thought that in such a powerful organization as Akatsuki, the members would all be difficult to get along with. He didn't expect them to be so warm.
For a moment, a warm current even flowed through his heart.
What Madara said was right. After leaving Sunagakure, he no longer had a home.
Actually, he still longed for a place with the warmth of a home.
'So… can this be the place?'
Sara, on the other hand, didn't immediately shake hands but said frankly, "I agreed to come with Obito to take a look, but I didn't say I would definitely join."
Yahiko was a little surprised and looked at the red cloud black robe on Sara's body, even the uniform was on.
Sara glanced down at her own outfit, a little embarrassed, "I thought it looked nice, so I wore it."
Then, she looked at Madara, "It was Madara-sama who said, 'If you want to wear it, wear it. If you want to take it off, take it off.'"
Yahiko laughed, "So that's how it is. Since even Madara-sama said so, then we'll go by what he says."
Konan, on the other hand, was very excited and stepped forward, holding Sara's hand, "Big sister, isn't this outfit I designed pretty? Join us, okay? We even have all kinds of nail polish combinations too."
Sara felt the innocence in Konan's heart, and her heart immediately relaxed.
After meeting the Akatsuki members just now, she was already certain. This was indeed a gentle organization that pursued peace.
So, she cheerfully nodded, "Okay, I'll join."
Then she started chirping with Konan, discussing which type of nail polish would match best.
On the other side, after both had joined, Obito continued to introduce the specific situations of Sara and Sasori.
"Yahiko, you probably aren't unfamiliar with Sara. After all, the war between Kumo and Suna affected the Land of Rain quite a bit. She has another title, Purple-robed Dragon King."
Yahiko could hardly believe his ears, 'The one who drove off the Kumogakure shinobi, the famed Purple-robed Dragon King known alongside the Fourth Kazekage Rasa, has actually been recruited by Obito?'
Thinking of this, he looked toward Sasori, 'What kind of powerhouse is this Sasori?'
Obito said flatly, "As for Sasori, I originally planned to recruit him after the Third Shinobi World War. But now, it doesn't matter. The Third Kazekage was killed by him."
"""What!"""
All the Akatsuki members gasped. Although the Land of Rain was isolated from information, everyone knew that the spark of the Third Great War was the disappearance of the Third Kazekage. To think he was actually killed.
Sasori looked at the Akatsuki members who were making a big fuss and felt a strong sense of disconnection.
He thought, 'Your boss is Uchiha Madara, and you're still surprised by this kind of thing?'
He said blandly, "Don't worry, I can hide inside the puppet I made. I won't cause trouble for anyone."
Yahiko breathed a sigh of relief. Looking at how many powerful individuals had joined Akatsuki in just less than a day, he felt his dream was one step closer.
At this moment, Madara crossed his arms, "Are you done speaking?"
Obito said, "Done."
Madara stepped out and looked at Yahiko and the others in Akatsuki, "I also have something to say."
Yahiko smiled. "Madara-sama, please speak."
Madara said, "I've thought about it. I can join Akatsuki, but I have only one request: During the rest of my lifetime, I will be the leader of Akatsuki."
Yahiko, Nagato, and the others were stunned. If anyone else said this, people would probably be angry. But who was Uchiha Madara? One of the founders of Konoha. Honestly, being Akatsuki's leader was beneath his abilities.
Yahiko pondered and, after a while, asked, "Madara-sama, if you become the leader of Akatsuki, what do you plan to do?"
Madara looked at Obito, "Not long ago, this kid told me a very grand plan. Obito, tell them."
Obito nodded and stepped forward, giving a general outline of the plan, leaving everyone dumbfounded.
Yahiko couldn't help but yearn for it. Making every land in the shinobi world prosperous? As prosperous as Konoha?
If the Land of Rain were that rich, many wars wouldn't even be able to start.
However, even Yahiko, who feared nothing, felt a little unconfident now, "Can Akatsuki really realize such a grand plan?"
Madara snorted, "That's why I said the leader of Akatsuki should be me."
"No matter what happens, I alone am enough."
Everyone felt an overwhelming momentum in Madara's words, and a hard-to-describe sense of security suddenly surged.
Especially Sasori, who was wildly ranting in his heart, 'No kidding, you summoned such a huge giant, just standing there is enough to make everyone obey you!'
Yahiko showed a relieved expression and once again extended his hand to Madara, "Madara-sama, from now on, you are the leader of Akatsuki."
Madara said calmly, "Since Akatsuki's headquarters is in the Land of Rain, then the change will begin from the Land of Rain."
"From now on, Akatsuki doesn't need to hide in the shadows. Whatever the great nations dare to manage, we also dare to manage. What they don't dare to touch, we still dare to manage."
"The dawn of the people will eventually become the midday sun, illuminating the entire land."
