The Xiao Organization had a total of ten rings.
They were Zero, Green, White, Red, Black, Sky, South, North, Three, and Jade. They represented the ten official members of the organization. Unless there were casualties, there would not be any more members.
Among them, it represented the 'absolute' of Xuan.
As he was mainly responsible for intelligence gathering, he did not have a partner and had always been alone.
In other words.
In the case of a pair.
Mingna became the extra remainder
Just as the long gate was in a dilemma.
Orochimaru stepped forward and revealed his signature smirk."Zero, I want to be in the same group as Akino-kun. Scorpion shouldn't have any objections.”
Scorpion controlled the puppet and said in a low and hoarse voice,"As long as you don't put me in the same group as Orochimaru.”
"In that case, what do you think, Ming Na?”Tendo Payne turned to look at Ming Nai.
Regarding Orochimaru's thoughts.
The long gate knew very well.
All along, Nagato had not made a move as long as Orochimaru did not go overboard and his experimental data was indeed helpful to the development of the Akatsuki Organization.
It was not a bad idea to let Orochimaru restrain Akina Uchiha. After all, Orochimaru was one of the Three Ninjas of Koba, and his strength far exceeded that of a weakling like Pipa Juzo.
"I don't care."
Akira replied calmly, as if she had tacitly agreed to become Orochimaru's teammate.
Based on his understanding of anime plots.
Long before he joined the Xiao Organization.
Akina already had a complete plan.
After stepping into the cave.
The confrontation with Itachi was to make it impossible for everyone to guess whether the two were friends or foes. For safety reasons, Nagato and Daito would definitely not let the two of them be in a group.
After all, there were two pairs of kaleidoscope eyes.
If they were all spies in the Xiao Organization, the threat would be too great.
Then, he would expose the power of the kaleidoscope's Sharinyan to attract Orochimaru to propose to team up with him, so as to lower Nagato and Daito's suspicion.
"Akino-kun, welcome to the team.”
At this moment, Orochimaru was overjoyed. He did not realize that he was being used at all. He was only thinking about how to snatch Akira's Kaleidoscope Sherrin.
"Yes."
Maintaining Uchiha's cold demeanor, Akina responded with a fake smile.
On the other side, Nagato saw that Akina had nodded in agreement and did not say anything else. He turned around and walked towards the secret passage in the cave.
Faced with Akira's cold attitude, Orochimaru seemed to have turned into a bootlicker as he coveted the power of the Shura Eye. He said,"" Akino-kun, let's go too."
At this moment.
Scorpion slowly walked forward and glanced at Orochimaru before coldly saying,""Akina Uchiha, be careful of the person beside you. If necessary, I can join forces with you to kill him.”
Perhaps he felt that Orochimaru had tarnished the eternal art, or perhaps it was for other reasons.
When Orochimaru first joined Akatsuki.
Scorpion already had the intention to kill him, especially during his later days as a team. If it wasn't for Payne and Little South's refusal, Scorpion would have secretly killed Orochimaru long ago.
"Thanks for the reminder."
Upon hearing this, Akira revealed a kind smile and said to Scorpion in front of Orochimaru,""To be honest, I also want to kill this guy.”
As soon as he finished speaking.
Mingna left with Naruto, not caring about Orochimaru's malicious gaze behind her.
"Akina, a like-minded person."
Scorpion looked at the gradually disappearing figure and felt a sense of agreement in his heart. Then, he sneered at Orochimaru and said,"I advise you to put down your little thoughts. Otherwise, you will really die in the hands of this person in front of you.”
"Kill me?"
Orochimaru licked his lips, his eyes filled with excitement."What an interesting Uchiha kid. I want those eyes!”
.......
In the plan to steal Akatsuki's members.
The Red Sand Scorpion was one of the main targets.
The reason was simple.
Scorpion's personality was relatively simple.
He had spent his entire life pursuing the path of eternal beauty, and he did not hide his likes and dislikes for others.
For example, hunting down Orochimaru.
Until the last moment before Scorpion died, he wanted to trick Orochimaru and tell Sakura his location so that the Koba Ninja could get rid of Orochimaru for him.
Such a person.
As long as they became friends.
At the very least, as long as you don't do anything to hurt him, he will trust you unconditionally.
In addition, there was another important point.
Scorpion was not poisoned by the Eye of the Moon plan at all. At least according to the anime plot, the purpose of joining Xiao's organization was purely to study Xiao Nan's body.
Ahem, the kind of research that held eternal art.
With the memories of his previous life, Akina already had a general idea and direction on how to defeat Scorpion and drag him back from Akatsuki's team to his own team.
As for Orochimaru.
He was too sinister and ruthless.
Furthermore, there were all sorts of methods.
In order to achieve his goal, he would do anything. Anyone was a tool in his hands.
When dealing with this kind of person, you must not have the slightest trust in him. No matter what, you must be on guard against him. Otherwise, he might attack you at any time.
However, he had to admit it.
Orochimaru's IQ was indeed at the top of the ninja world. It was estimated that other than the founder of the forbidden art, it was difficult for anyone else to be on par with him in terms of science and ninja research.
That was exactly the case.
From the very beginning, Akira never had the intention of taking Orochimaru in as one of her own.
After all, a poisonous snake like him.
No one could guarantee that they would not bite back.
However, Orochimaru's weakness at this stage was also very obvious. He was obsessed with the power of the Blood Successor Limit, especially in the pursuit of the Shura Eye. He was crazy.
Therefore, Akina planned to use her absolute strength to crush him first, and then offer a condition that he couldn't refuse, such as the Kaleidoscope Sharunan of Itachi.
As for whether Orochimaru would betray them.
As a transmigrator, he had the system in his hands.
Akira was confident that he could suppress Orochimaru. In the face of absolute strength, his methods of living an ignoble existence could not pose any threat at all.
......
The next day.
Above the Country of Rain.
Dark clouds covered the sky.
The light rain fell.
In the rain, there were three figures walking on the road at an unhurried pace. They were dressed in red robes.
"Akina-kun."
Orochimaru looked at Naruto, raised his head, and said with a smile,""Our mission this time is to go to Hidden Rock Village and take care of the two Kiba spy ninjas.”
"Two Muye spy ninjas?"
Two figures appeared in Akina's mind.
In the anime plot that he was familiar with.
It was in line with the appearance of two spies in Hidden Rock Village and Orochimaru's participation in the plot. There was a high chance that these two people were Medicine Master Dou and Medicine Master Noyu.
However, due to the slight difference between the anime plot and the manga plot, and the fact that the two of them were only unimportant supporting characters, the time of the incident was not mentioned in detail.
However…
According to the information that Akina had, Dou had been placed beside Scorpion as a spy when he had just joined Orochimaru's army. This proved that he had met Orochimaru after he had met Scorpion.
In other words.
If it wasn't for Ming Na's interference.
Orochimaru and Scorpion should be working together on this mission. Orochimaru would use this opportunity to subdue Dou and arrange for him to be by Scorpion's side to gather information.
Thinking of this…
Akina couldn't help but feel delighted.
Dou and Noyo might only be at the level of ordinary Jounin in terms of combat, but they were exceptional talents in terms of internal management and loyalty.
