Naruto: Long Live Hokage's

Chapter 168: Information About Akatsuki

Masahiko takes Nagato, and Jiraiya brings Minato, and the four of them say goodbye to Nanako and Kushina. In the end, Kushina and Minato had to part ways for a while. After all, this Kushina had parents and family in the Land of Whirlpools.

Minato had to follow Jiraiya and train harder, Kushina had dragged him backwards for a while now.

“Old Devil, what are you doing here? Are you still thinking of taking my disciple? ” Old Devil is still Jiraiya's nickname for Masahiko even after so many years.

Masahiko glanced at him, “Konan is still working on his medical Ninjutsu with Tsunade.”

In fact, Masahiko was more worried about Nawaki. Although he was not weak, his strength was on the same level as Asuma in the original. Which means every Path of the Pain can kill him.

Nawaki now fights Fugaku every three to five days. But the most important person, Uchiha Mikoto, never opposed her actions, which made both of them feel that the final winner would definitely “win the loot beauty treasure.”

However, this conflict had now become more like between two clans, not just two youths.

One of the two was the Senju heir, and the other was the nephew of Patriarch Uchiha, and their status was basically the same. The outcome of their battle had now become even more important to both families. In other words, for the clan, the one that Uchiha Mikoto was going to marry was no longer important.

“Yeah...” Masahiko sighed, ignored Jiraiya, then returned to the Senju Clan with Nagato.

“Wait..” On the way, Masahiko suddenly frowned, pulling Nagato while looking the other way.

There is something wrong with the person who just went through it.

“You must be Kakuzu, no one will cover his head on such a hot day.” Masahiko smiled.

The man stopped, then turned around, revealing his familiar face.

“Older Masahiko, long time no see, I do not expect you to be in Konoha.”

Masahiko smiled, then looked at Nagato, “You go back first. Sensei has just met an old friend, and this may take quite a while.”

After leaving, Kakuzo follows Masahiko to a teahouse in Konoha.

As the two sat down, Masahiko said with a smile, “I heard you have joined Akatsuki, how dare you appear in Konoha?”

“I've left it.”

Masahiko was surprised, “When did you go? Didn't leader Akatsuki try to stop you?”

Kakuzo did not answer but said.

“I came to Konoha to look for Hokage, but since you are here, there is no need anymore.”

Masahiko squinted, “So, you are trying to sell some information about Akatsuki?”

Masahiko is also interested to know more about Akatsuki. He actually brought Kakuzo here to ask him about it.

“One stop. Information about Akatsuki members is 10 million Ryo per person, 20 million for leaders, and 20 million for their purposes. So what do you need?” Kakuzo said slowly.

Masahiko smiled, Kakuzo is still the same greedy he knew before.

“Well, I'm not in a hurry, some I'd rather know why you left them. Didn't they give you enough money?”

Kakuzo paused for a moment, then shook his head, “After I joined Akatsuki, I earned more money than before, but this organization is a bit shady, none of its members seem normal, no one, and the purpose is unclear.

“Not one of its members looks normal?” Masahiko carefully observed Kakuzo in front of him, then shook his head with a sigh; he himself was no ordinary person either…

“Then start by telling me what you think is abnormal, rest assured, I will pay.”

Kakuzo hesitated, but he did not doubt Masahiko's morals.

“Each member of the organization communicates with a code name. I don't know their real names, nor have I ever seen them. My code name is Beidou.”

(T/N: Beidou is the god in charge of life.)

Masahiko was surprised, but he was not surprised, “What about the ring? Did you give back your property? ”

Masahiko doesn't know if he should cry or laugh, this version of Akatsuki is so fake, that they don't even make rings.

Without understanding the angle, Kakuzo continued.

“Men by code name Casual is a middle-aged man, crazy weird guy.”

“Sinterclass?” Masahiko frowned. Hidan was not necessarily born at this time; so, he had no idea who this madman was.

(Lax: Is a character in Taoism. This is the God responsible for wealth and power.)

“In addition, he never shut up about how he wants to kill all those who do not believe in his god Jashin.”

Masahiko recovered, “So this is Hidan? I've never heard of anyone else believing in Jashin..”.

“It looks like you are very satisfied with this information.” Seeing Masahiko's expression, Kakuzo extended his right hand.

“What do you want? Did you learn a special handshake in Akatsuki or something? ”

“This information has just been worth ten million.” Kakuzo doesn't like jokes when it comes to money.

Masahiko waved his hand, “You did not give me any useful information about this member, it is only worth one million.”

Kakuzo immediately got up, turned around, and left, but Masahiko quickly stopped him.

In fact, he could force her to speak, but after years since he tried to kill Hashirama, Kakuzo redeemed himself by helping Konoha on many occasions. Now he even gave Masahiko information about Akatsuki. Masahiko is not shy about doing it, but the time and location are not right.

“Give me one more, and I'll pay you.”

Kakuzo looked at Masahiko deeply, then sat back down.

“The code name is Zero ..”

“Wait..” Masahiko cut it.

“Talk to me about other members. Let the leader be the last. ”

Kakuzo replied, “Nol is not the leader. Even though I haven't seen him, I've heard his voice. It seemed like he was only a ten-year-old child following the leader. ”

“The leader code name is not Zero? A child who matches his age is Sasori, but I have never heard of him leaving Sunagakure. Is that Kisame? He looked old, but he shouldn't be ten years old now. ” After finding out that it was a child, Masahiko's first suspect was these two people.

Kakuzo reached out his right hand again, Masahiko stopped, then took out 20 million Ryo and handed it to him.

“Tell now about leader Akatsuki.”

As he took the money, Kakuzo started talking faster.

“The leader has no code name, he hid his figure when he appeared, and never told us about his real name. But he always issued strange and troublesome orders. In fact, that's why I quit the organization.

“The order is strange, does it have anything to do with fixing the plot?” think Masahiko.

“For example, earlier, the leader ordered me to instigate Kirigakure to attack Iwagakure and prevent Amegakure from attacking Kumogakure.” Kakuzo continued.

“So, this is why the two ended up attacking each other?” Masahiko suddenly realized what was happening.

“Other members were also given similar unfavorable tasks, although the leader funded us generously ..”

Masahiko nodded.

“It looks like it will be easier to deal with than I thought.” Masahiko pondered for a moment, then took out an additional amount of money.

“So, where is Akatsuki next?”
