Chapter 86 Witness?
"Then what do you need me to do?" Tos asked. Everything has a reason, but he didn't think he had anything that this person would want from him.
After hearing this, Bone Lord thought for a moment and said, "Actually, I don't need you to do anything for me. But if I had to say, I would say I want you to live and witness something, although I don't know what I need you to witness right now."
"Witness something?" Toshen murmured in confusion, not understanding what it meant. After all, he was weak and not a big shot. What could he possibly have to witness? Even if he escaped this time, he might be killed by someone else someday.
Thinking of this, Tos couldn't help but smile bitterly. In a sense, living was truly a task for him.
On that day, after being separated from Yoshiya, Tosukina originally wanted to try to escape Orochimaru in the chaos, but because he had inexplicably escaped before, he was ambushed by someone who was suspicious of this.
Fortunately, at the time, Tosukina was fighting a Konoha ninja, and Kabuto couldn't find anything wrong with him on the surface. However, after that incident, he never sent Tosukina on any other missions.
Orochimaru doesn't keep idle people around here, so he keeps Tosu Kinu in the base to serve as sparring partners for children who have made some "minor mistakes" but have certain talents. If it can be called sparring, those children will aim to kill Tosu Kinu, and if they can't kill him, they will die. It's a very cruel problem.
However, these children are generally between 9 and 12 years old. Tosukin's weakness is highlighted by those genius monsters. At the very least, he is the leader of the three-person team going to participate in the Chunin Exams. He has an almost crushing advantage against those younger children. This is good, and he doesn't have to go out and face those dangers.
However, after a while, he would be tricked by those people with crazed expressions and eyes full of a desperate desire to survive, even though their experience and age gave them an advantage and those attacks were not fatal to him.
But as time went on, Tos Anvil seemed to be ostracized by the entire base. Almost everyone was discussing how to kill him. Staying there, he felt like everyone was chanting, "Die quickly! Die quickly!"
It was his belief in living that had sustained him until now. But just now, when Kabuto said he was going to pick someone to take away, Tosukino inexplicably walked out. Although he regretted it as soon as he walked out, he felt inexplicably relieved.
He wanted to live, but...
Bones stared blankly at Toshinari, seemingly frozen in place. "What are you thinking about?"
"!" Upon hearing this, Tosukina immediately came to his senses and hurriedly said respectfully, "It's just some 'minor matters' of my own, not worth your concern, sir." Although he didn't know what the purpose of the person in front of him was, anyone who could earn Orochimaru's respect must be quite powerful, and the worst-case scenario was that he would just throw away the life he had just retrieved and then throw it away again.
Upon hearing this, Bone-kun didn't delve into the details, mainly because there was no need. "Go explain the situation and have Kabuto bring someone else. If he 'brings the wrong person' again, have him come over on his own."
"yes!"
After Toshin left, Bone-kun looked at the spell inscription on the ground and pondered. The living, the dead, sacrifices—it wasn't much different from what he knew before, but it all revolved around life force...
……
On his own side, after receiving the mission, Uchiha Gen looked at the strange mask with a black sun pattern in his hand and fell into deep thought. Did the Akatsuki still require masks as part of their uniform? "Um, I don't think it's really necessary for me to wear this given the unique nature of my ninjutsu..."
However, Pain ignored his words and directly commanded, "Put it on!"
Upon hearing this, Uchiha Gen suddenly frowned slightly as if he were thinking about something. "Am I ugly?"
Nagato "..."
It was just a mask, but with Uchiha Gen's sophistry and bickering, somehow it always ended up being interpreted as him wearing a mask being an insult to Nagato's appearance, which left Nagato feeling quite frustrated.
In the end, Pain stopped forcing him to wear a mask, but simply reminded him to be mindful of his image as a member of Akatsuki.
However, at this point, Uchiha Gen looked at Pain as if he had suddenly remembered something, "By the way, boss, what's that stick on your face? You don't look too well..."
Before he could finish speaking, Uchiha Gen was sent flying by Pain's Shinra Tensei. "When did I give you permission to be so insolent?"
"Cough, cough..." A few pebbles and sand fell on Uchiha Gen's head. He shook his head, but after this, Uchiha Gen seemed to understand something. His eyes lit up, he smiled at Pain, and didn't say anything more. But his eyes were exactly the same as the eyes that Hyuga Hiashi looked at Hyuga Kito.
"..." When Nagato saw that look, he felt a vein throbbing on his forehead, but then he suddenly remembered what he had seen in Reikawa's "memories" before. Could it be that he had discovered his identity?
Thinking of this, Nagato frowned slightly. "Never mind, I'll wait and see. I'll wait until the results of the comparison of the hair that the Human Path took from his head come out before we talk about what to do next."
After letting Gen Uchiha leave, Nagato considered what kind of teammate he should assign to Reikawa Uzumaki for this mission.
After all, the organization now has a full pair of people, and their temperaments have almost meshed. If they were to be switched again, it would probably cause some trouble.
Akatsuki's location is now essentially exposed to Konoha, but Nagato isn't panicking; the base isn't immovable. If Konoha tries to notify the other ninja villages, there will likely be a lot of wrangling, since their tailed beasts haven't been captured yet. How can these "big" ninja villages feel pain if they haven't been directly attacked?
However, as they collect the tailed beasts, their vigilance will increase. The collection of the remaining tailed beasts must be done as quickly as possible. Even if they want to form an alliance to wipe out Akatsuki, as long as they take action against multiple tailed beasts at the same time before that, they will prioritize protecting their own Jinchūriki. In that case, the so-called alliance will fall apart.
By the time they finally realized their mistake and felt ashamed of their actions, all the tailed beasts had been collected, and they would become the "gods" of this world, bringing peace to it with their absolute power!
After being kicked out, Gen Uchiha recalled the moment Pain paused when he made that expression. Anyone who didn't know better would have thought he was radiating coldness. Gen Uchiha, who knew the situation, guessed at Nagato's conflicted expression and couldn't help but feel a bit of a wicked sense of amusement.
After a while, Uchiha Gen suddenly saw Itachi walking towards him.
"I'll be your teammate on this mission."
"..." What a coincidence, we meet again.
