Chapter 396: The terrifying Akatsuki organization?

“Be careful, there are Ninja fighting ahead.”

Kakashi, who was walking in front, noticed the sounds of a fight in the Village ahead.

Obito immediately ran to Kakashi’s side to check the situation together, while Rin Nohara and Shisui vigilantly looked around, guarding the middle-aged client.

To see more clearly, Obito directly activated his Sharingan to enhance his perception.

“One, two, three… five, there are five Ninja, but their strength is all very ordinary, and none of them are wearing headbands. I don’t know what Ninja Village they are from,” Obito stated his observation.

“They should be Ninja from a certain Ninja Organization or Rogue Ninja,” Kakashi replied.

The Ninja World is not only comprised of Ninja Villages, but the Ninja from Ninja Villages are the strongest.

“Muzuki-sensei, should we take a detour?” Kakashi turned back and asked Muzuki.

Kakashi was inclined to take a detour. Although those Ninja seemed to be of ordinary strength, the most important thing in an escort mission was to safely deliver the client home. The fewer incidents, the better.

“There’s no need for that, is there? Ninja of this level, I can defeat all of them by myself,” Obito felt it wasn’t necessary to be so troublesome.

From Obito’s perspective, the Ninja currently fighting were only strong enough to be eliminated in the first round of the Chunin Exams’ third stage. Taking a detour for them felt a bit unwilling.

“No need to detour, there are only these five Ninja nearby,” Muzuki thought for a moment and replied.

Seeing that Muzuki approved of his suggestion, Obito couldn’t help but show a triumphant expression.

“Muzuki-sensei can do that because he has Perception Ninjutsu, but that’s not the same as your recklessness,” Kakashi said mockingly.

“You can talk tough, but even if you find another reason, I’m still right,” Obito retorted.

Although they were arguing, neither of them was idle. They continued to observe their surroundings while bickering and walking.

After entering the Village, Kakashi noticed that many villagers were watching the Ninja’s battle with nervous expressions, which made Kakashi feel a bit strange. Logically, the villagers should have closed their doors and windows to avoid being affected.

Ninja battles were not something to watch for entertainment; a single Kunai could easily end the life of an ordinary person.

However, if it was just for entertainment, Kakashi didn’t think so. It couldn’t be that they were so engrossed that they became nervous, could it?

At this moment, the villagers noticed Muzuki and the others entering the Village. After seeing the Konoha headbands and vests on Muzuki and the others, they instinctively stepped back.

“It’s Rogue Ninja again, preparing to loot the Village. What a terrible environment,” the middle-aged client sighed upon seeing this.

Although he didn’t know exactly who the two Ninja being ganged up on were, through their uniforms, the middle-aged client could confirm that they were Akatsuki Organization Ninja.

Although the Akatsuki Organization was not the strongest Ninja Organization in the Land of Rain, its unique organizational principles gave them a considerable reputation in the Land of Rain.

As a Ninja Organization, the Akatsuki Organization was truly a clear stream among Ninja Organizations. Not only were their hiring prices reasonable, but their members would also occasionally do good deeds outside.

Although he had a good impression of the Akatsuki Organization Ninja, the middle-aged client had no intention of asking Muzuki and his team to help the Akatsuki Organization Ninja.

This was trouble outside of the mission. Muzuki’s team was responsible for dealing with the Ninja who attacked him, but they didn’t need to obey his orders to deal with other Ninja.

“You deal with the two Ninja in cloaks, and I’ll deal with the remaining three,” Kakashi said to Obito after a moment of thought.

Within such a short time, Kakashi found it difficult to analyze everything, so he chose to defeat all five Ninja, which would solve the problem.

Kakashi spoke while observing Muzuki’s expression. Seeing that Muzuki had no objection, he immediately concentrated his Breathing Technique.

“You just wanted to take a detour, and now you want to actively attack. Kakashi, your mouth is really tougher than a Kunai,” Obito couldn’t help but complain.

Despite his complaints, Obito still acted as Kakashi instructed.

“Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!”

Obito gathered a large amount of Chakra in his throat, then exhaled all the Chakra, transforming it into Fire Release and spewing out a large amount of flames.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

The raging flames gathered together, quickly forming a huge fireball that smashed towards the five Ninja who were fighting.

The five Ninja immediately stopped fighting and retreated. They couldn’t possibly withstand such a terrifying fireball.

“Let’s retreat. Our luck is too bad today. These Konoha Ninja seem difficult to deal with,” a tall Rogue Ninja, seeing Obito’s impressive strength, immediately thought of retreating.

They just wanted to loot the Village and take some things; it wasn’t worth fighting Konoha Ninja.

The tall Rogue Ninja finished speaking only to realize that his two companions had already run away without looking back.

“Land of Rain expletive!” The Rogue Ninja cursed loudly and also turned to run.

“Flash!”

All the Chakra concentrated in Kakashi’s legs erupted. The amplification of the Breathing Technique, coupled with the revitalization of his body by Lightning Release Chakra, made Kakashi incredibly fast, appearing like a bolt of lightning on the ground to the villagers.

Swish!

As Kakashi ran, he suddenly swung his White Fang Short Blade. The legs of the two Rogue Ninja running at the front instantly burst into blood, and they fell to the ground.

The slightly lagging Rogue Ninja, seeing Kakashi’s exaggerated strength, immediately braked and dared not continue running.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

Kakashi didn’t stop. He turned and threw a Shuriken at the uninjured Rogue Ninja.

Kakashi’s Ninjutsu throwing technique was excellent. The Rogue Ninja dodged awkwardly, receiving several scratches on his body.

Before he could figure out how to escape, a Kunai carrying lightning pierced his knee.

The previous Shuriken was just a feint; the Kunai, infused with Lightning Release Chakra Nature Transformation, was Kakashi’s true attack.

“We are Ninja protecting the Village, not Rogue Ninja who are plundering,” the Akatsuki Organization Ninja, who had dodged the Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique, quickly said.

Obito didn’t stop his attack because of the Akatsuki Organization Ninja’s words. Who knew if what he said was true?

First, incapacitate them, then ask the villagers, and the truth would naturally be revealed.

However, the Akatsuki Organization Ninja’s words were not entirely useless. Obito, worried about killing someone, didn’t use Fire Release and only attacked with Taijutsu.

However, even using only Taijutsu, Obito was not weak now. The already injured Akatsuki Organization Ninja were quickly defeated by Obito and knocked to the ground.

“Konoha Ninja-sama, thank you, but please don’t hurt them. They are Ninja who came to protect our Village.”

The Village chief, seeing Kakashi deal with the Rogue Ninja, felt that Kakashi and his team shouldn’t be bad people, so he stepped forward and spoke.

“Huh? They really are.” Obito scratched his head a little awkwardly.

“I’m sorry, I thought you were also bandits or something,” Obito, who had attacked the wrong people, immediately apologized and pulled up the defeated Akatsuki Organization Ninja.

“It’s nothing, you saved us too,” a tall, thin Akatsuki Organization Ninja shook his head and said.

If Kakashi and Obito hadn’t intervened just now, they would have quickly died under the siege of those three Rogue Ninja.

The other Akatsuki Organization Ninja also spoke up to express his gratitude.

Once it was clear that the three attackers were Rogue Ninja who were robbing, Kakashi immediately solved them all with a swift blade.

If he didn’t kill them, they might come back to retaliate against the villagers once they recovered from their injuries.

Seeing the Akatsuki Organization Ninja injured, Rin Nohara stepped forward and used Mystical Palm Technique to heal them.

A green light full of life enveloped the Akatsuki Organization Ninja’s wounds, which then rapidly healed, leaving no scars.

“Amazing, thank you so much,” the tall, thin Ninja said with a surprised expression.

There were no Ninja within the Akatsuki Organization who mastered Medical Ninjutsu. Without Rin Nohara’s treatment, they would have needed a lot of time to recover back home.

Obito’s gaze unconsciously drifted upwards; some of those injuries were inflicted by him.

“We are truly grateful for your help. We are Ninja of the Akatsuki Organization. If you encounter any trouble in the Land of Rain, you can seek help from our organization,” the tall, thin Ninja apologized again.

But what the tall, thin Ninja didn’t expect was that this apology, which he considered ordinary, made Rin Nohara show a shocked expression and made Kakashi’s eyes sharpen.

Obito didn’t react at first, but once he came to his senses, his expression also became startled. So he hadn’t attacked the wrong people after all.

“You are Ninja of the Akatsuki Organization?” Kakashi silently gathered Chakra and asked, cautiously glancing around.

He trusted Muzuki’s perception, but the Akatsuki Organization was a terrifying Ninja Organization that could contend with the Five Great Ninja Villages in later generations; he couldn’t be careless.

“That’s right, have you also heard of our organization’s name?” the tall, thin Ninja asked somewhat excitedly.

There aren’t many Ninja Organizations whose names are specifically remembered by Ninja of the Five Great Ninja Villages.

“Indeed, we have heard of it,” Obito was ready to enter Flame Breathing Chakra Mode and unleash Fire Style: Orochi Nagi at any moment.

Rin Nohara once again gathered Chakra in her palm, but this time it wasn’t for Mystical Palm Technique, but for Chakra Scalpel.

Due to the information brought by Naruto and Yamato, the Akatsuki Organization was the most terrifying Ninja Organization in their minds.

Shisui noticed Kakashi and the others’ actions and felt a bit confused. He didn’t understand what significant information was in the Akatsuki Organization Ninja’s words just now.

Although Asuma and Jiraiya would die at the hands of Akatsuki Organization Ninja, due to the timing being too far in the future, Obito’s summarized version of the Journey to the Land of Rōran didn’t mention the Akatsuki Organization.

Shisui’s impression of the Akatsuki Organization remained from the last mission to subjugate bandits in the Land of Rivers. Although they almost fought, Shisui’s impression of the Akatsuki Organization wasn’t bad.

“If there were more responsible Ninja Organizations like yours in the Land of Rain, perhaps the environment would be better,” the middle-aged client praised.

Listening to the client’s words, Kakashi, Obito, and Rin Nohara exchanged glances. The situation seemed to be different from what they had imagined.

“We will work hard! It is precisely to change the Land of Rain that we have gathered together!” the tall, thin Ninja said, clenching his fist.

Obito scratched his head in confusion, “What about the terrifying Ninja Organization? Why does it sound so positive? Could it be a namesake?”

Kakashi and Rin Nohara dispersed the Chakra they had gathered. They could tell that this wasn’t an act.

Finally, Kakashi and the other two watched the Akatsuki Organization Ninja leave, and after a brief rest, they continued to escort the client to their destination.

Along the way, Shisui voiced his confusion.

Kakashi didn’t answer Shisui’s question immediately, but instead subtly glanced at Muzuki out of the corner of his eye. Finally, he stood at the forefront with Shisui to scout before answering Shisui’s question.

“Obito probably didn’t tell you about the Akatsuki Organization, did he? According to the information obtained from the Land of Rōran, in the peaceful era of later generations, the Akatsuki Organization is the most powerful Ninja Organization in the world. Its members are all S-rank Rogue Ninja from various Ninja Villages, and they are engaged in activities of stealing Tailed Beasts.”

Kakashi spoke in a volume that only Shisui, who was beside him, could hear.

Shisui now understood why Kakashi and the others were so cautious. Such a crazy Ninja Organization indeed warranted caution.

Shisui could only use the word “crazy” to describe the Akatsuki Organization. Tailed Beasts were the ultimate weapons of the Five Great Ninja Villages; stealing Tailed Beasts meant making enemies of the Five Great Ninja Villages.

“If it’s them, perhaps in the future, they really will have that kind of power,” Shisui thought of Muzuki’s evaluation of those Akatsuki Organization Ninja.

Although they didn’t look very old, Muzuki said that there were two of them he couldn’t defeat, and one person could instantly kill him.

If such geniuses grew up and gathered a group of powerful Ninja, they could indeed achieve the actions Kakashi spoke of.

“I once encountered a few Akatsuki Organization Ninja during a mission in the Land of Rivers…” Shisui thought for a moment and recounted his experience from that mission.

Kakashi’s expression became serious. He knew Shisui’s strength very well; it was truly difficult to instantly kill Shisui.

Because Shisui not only possessed the Sharingan, which could enhance his perception, but he was also exceptionally skilled in Body Flicker Technique. Even the elite among Jonin couldn’t instantly kill Shisui.

Of course, the elite among Jonin did not refer to Jiraiya or Orochimaru. The Sannin were renowned powerhouses in the Ninja World; Ninja ranks could not measure their strength.

“Then there should be no mistake. This Akatsuki Organization is the same Akatsuki Organization that will steal Tailed Beasts in the future. They might be accumulating power now,” Kakashi speculated.

With Shisui’s account, Kakashi became increasingly suspicious that Minato Namikaze’s death was related to the Akatsuki Organization.

It was precisely a Tailed Beast rampage, and the Akatsuki Organization’s goal just happened to be Tailed Beasts.

Kakashi felt that perhaps the Akatsuki Organization had intended to act that time, but realizing the Five Great Ninja Villages were too strong, they retreated to accumulate power.

…………

“I didn’t expect even Konoha Ninja to know about our organization. If this continues, perhaps we will soon be able to change the entire Land of Rain,” the tall, thin Akatsuki Organization Ninja said joyfully on the way back.

The other Akatsuki Organization Ninja also had a smile on his face.

And so, they chatted and laughed, returning to the Village where the Akatsuki Organization was stationed.

However, what they didn’t realize was that a brown-haired Ninja was following behind them.
