Konoha's efficiency was quite high. In just about a month, Uchiha Obito's wanted posters had already spread throughout the surrounding countries.
Although they didn't explicitly state his 'great achievements', Konoha couldn't afford to lose face.
Similarly, his specific abilities weren't clearly stated, but the note said, 'extremely dangerous', and Konoha had even offered an extremely generous bounty for him.
Driven by such a generous bounty, countless bounty ninjas were attracted.
Even though Konoha had explicitly stated that this guy was 'extremely dangerous', for bounty hunters who only cared about money, that was nothing.
To them, any enemy they faced was extremely dangerous.
One more wouldn't make a difference.
And the large ninja villages also seemed quite interested in this Uchiha, who was wanted by Konoha. Even if they didn't know exactly what he had done, his surname alone was enough to attract attention.
Uchiha, that meant Sharingan. And being labelled 'extremely dangerous' indicated that this guy's Sharingan's level was definitely not low.
Under the temptation of one of the most famous kekkei genkai, the entire ninja world at this moment seemed to be stirring around this 'Obito'.
"Bastard!"
But Obito at the time was not happy at all. He couldn't understand why Konoha had gone crazy.
Based on just a few words from that Hidezawa, they had completely confirmed his identity?
"Or did I expose some flaw somewhere?"
Obito was at a loss, and now he didn't have time to think so much, because the Akatsuki Organization was holding a meeting.
He was indeed the person hidden behind the scenes, but he would appear when necessary.
Moreover, Nagato had called this meeting in the most important format, so his presence was very necessary.
"I can only let White Zetsu investigate."
Thinking this, Obito took Black Zetsu with him and set off to attend the meeting, but Black Zetsu was somewhat puzzled.
"Nagato is in such a hurry. Is there something really important this time?"
"I don't know. Who knows what that idiot is thinking."
Obito shook his head. How could he know what Nagato was thinking? Besides, he didn't care what Nagato was thinking.
He was just a tool, so he didn't care what Nagato thought; all he had to do was control this tool.
His body transformed into a swirl, and in a short while, he appeared with Black Zetsu inside the Akatsuki Organization's base.
At this moment, inside the Akatsuki Organization's base, Sasori, Kakuzu, as well as Nagato's Pain clone and Konan, were already present.
"Since you're here, let the meeting begin."
Nagato saw the two appear and spoke indifferently, without any wasted words.
"This meeting is very important. Perhaps we can welcome a new teammate."
'A new teammate?'
Obito, who had just arrived, raised his eyebrows. This matter was aroused his interest.
The Akatsuki Organization now had too few members, especially the core members, who were pitifully few.
Perhaps having experienced the failure of the past Akatsuki, Nagato was now completely adopting an elite approach to the Akatsuki Organization's personnel selection.
Only powerful ninjas, especially rogue ninjas, would be his focus for selection, and such strict selection led to them currently only having Sasori and Kakuzu as enforcers.
"Wait, a new teammate, it couldn't be…"
But Black Zetsu, who was off to the side, suddenly froze. He seemed to realize something, while Kakuzu sneered.
"Of course, it could also be our bounty. After all, we don't know what Uchiha Obito is thinking, and Konoha has offered an irresistible chip!"
"..."
Obito heard that familiar name, and his whole body suddenly stiffened. At this moment, he understood. 'So, they were targeting me?'
And Black Zetsu, off to the side, immediately sighed. Sure enough, it was just as he had thought.
'Uchiha Obito', a rogue ninja wandering outside, defined as 'extremely dangerous' by Konoha, wasn't this exactly in the Akatsuki Organization's target range?
"Uchiha Obito?"
Obito spoke in a low voice, his face dark. His tone was full of disbelief, and at the same time, subtly tinged with a hint of anger.
He had never expected such a side effect after being wanted.
He truly wished he could go to Konoha and strangle that damned Hidezawa to death, and he also had to include Shimura Danzo.
It was that old lunatic who cultivated this young lunatic, and as a result, he was put in such a miserable position.
"That's right, Uchiha Obito."
Nagato nodded, confirming Obito's thought.
"This guy meets our requirements very well, and being so heavily wanted by Konoha suggests he is not weak in strength. Moreover, facing the joint pursuit and suppression of the Great Nations, he also needs protection."
"I believe the Akatsuki Organization will be his best choice. I called you here because I think you should be able to understand him, won't you?"
Nagato's meaning was for Uchiha Madara to understand Obito, who was also an Uchiha and recruit him.
But Obito truly wanted to curse at this moment. Even if he wasn't Uchiha Madara, he understood Obito very well, because he was Obito!
'Recruit? What the hell is there to recruit? I'm already in the Akatsuki Organization!'
Turning his head again to look at Black Zetsu beside him, Obito found Black Zetsu was lowering his head and saying nothing. He immediately knew that this guy was unreliable.
After all, no one had ever encountered such an absurd situation.
"Perhaps."
Obito replied vaguely. After pondering for a moment, he hesitated before speaking.
"Do you really want to recruit that guy? Uchiha people are arrogant by nature; they are not that easy to recruit."
"That's exactly why we want to understand him through you."
Nagato spoke indifferently. He didn't trust this guy who claimed to be Uchiha Madara, but he couldn't deny that this guy was very useful.
"In any case, you are the most convenient person, and you and he might also have a certain resonance."
'Resonance?'
'How could there not be resonance?!'
Obito's fists were already clenched, but he had nothing to retort with. After a long while, he spoke in a low voice.
"I can't guarantee I can convince him, and I also need time to get to know him well."
"No problem, you handle it as you see fit."
Nagato nodded, but he added a sentence.
"If you fail, if you can kill him, kill him. If not, send the intel back, because he is very valuable in another way."
"I'd rather you send the intel back. We are really short on money right now."
Kakuzu also nodded from the side, agreeing wholeheartedly.
For him, a large sum of money was more desirable than an unknown teammate whose background was completely unclear.
Kakuzu was now also in charge of the Akatsuki Organization's financial issues, and he was more obsessed with money than anyone else.
"I understand…"
Obito constantly tried to control his emotions to calm himself down.
But unfortunately, he failed. The feeling of being so utterly frustrated made the anger in his heart grow even stronger.
Who would have thought that he just went to Konoha, and then the whole 'I investigate myself' and 'I kill myself' thing actually happened?
And it just happened to him?
At this moment, he had only one thought in his mind.
'You, all of you, deserve to die!'
