"From now on, you are the Hokuto of the Akatsuki organization." Tendo Pain handed the ring to Kakuzu.
"You are the Jade Girl of Akatsuki." Then Pain handed the ring to Scorpion.
"Are these the only people in the organization?" Kakuzu said after looking around.
There were only six people standing in this huge base, making it seem unusually empty.
No, there is one that is not even a human. Not only does he have a yin-yang face, but he is also covered by a plant that looks like a pitcher plant.
"Yes, all our official members are here, and there are only six of them at the moment." Payne replied calmly.
"Relying on six people to create a peaceful world? You are such a crazy guy." Kakuzu said in a deep voice.
Even though he was experienced, he had to admit that Payne was one of the craziest lunatics he had ever seen.
Even among the strength of many lunatics, Pain can be regarded as the number one. Except for the man known as the God of Ninja, Pain is the most powerful among all the people Kakuzu has met.
Pain looked at Kakuzu deeply. He was no longer the innocent boy he used to be.
He knew that the ninjas he recruited would not be loyal at all and were just a group of unruly people, so he didn't care. However, he was still an official member, so Pain explained.
“Although there are only six people at present, we will continue to recruit people until we have 10 people.
And these are only official members. We actually have other peripheral members, but they are not eligible to enter this base."
"So there are peripheral members in our organization?" Musashi scratched his head and said.
Actually, he was the first one among this group to join Akatsuki, but he didn't even know about it.
"Of course you don't know since you practice all day long."
Konan's cold voice reached Musashi's ears.
Musashi is a bit of a peculiar person. He was forced to join the organization, but he still practiced so hard every day. Those who know that they forced Musashi to join Akatsuki would think that they forced Musashi to join Akatsuki, while those who don't would think that Musashi took the initiative to join and practice.
Musashi pulled out a sword and wiped it carefully with a cloth. Weapon maintenance is a compulsory course for a swordsman.
Are you kidding? He came in just to find out information about the masked man, and then to build up his strength in preparation for revenge.
He is not here to be a diligent worker for the Akatsuki organization. That would mean he would slack off at work and practice every day.
"Kakuzu, I remember you said that you are only interested in money." Pain asked.
"Yes, I am indeed interested in money. What? Are you going to give me a large sum of money?" Kakuzu admitted directly.
"From now on you will be Akatsuki's chief financial officer." Pein said as he accepted his fate to Kakuzu.
Although I don't think those desperate criminals will be loyal to Akatsuki wholeheartedly, some necessary means must still be used.
In the early stage, he needed the fighting power of these people to help him collect the tailed beasts.
"Chief Financial Officer? That seems like an interesting position." Kakuzu became interested.
Since his defection, he has become a lone ranger.
It’s not because he can’t find companions, but because Kakuzu no longer believes in companions.
If the village he once trusted so much could betray him, what else could possibly not betray him
Therefore, Kakuzu's way of making money is usually by killing ninjas with black market bounties.
This was the first time he had held the position of chief financial officer.
"As for Scorpion, you really need the corpses of ninjas to make puppets. From now on, the corpses of ninjas killed by members of the Akatsuki organization during missions will be given to you." Pain said something that Scorpion could hardly refuse.
"Your organization is really well-informed. I have to admit that this is really good. I'm beginning to look forward to living here." Scorpion chuckled.
Unlike other puppeteers, Scorpion wants to make human puppets, which he must do using the corpses of ninjas.
And Akatsuki is an organization with many powerful people. I believe the level of battle will be very high in the future, and the strength of the enemy will also be very strong.
If he could make human puppets out of the corpses of those strong men, with the vast amount of experience he would gain, Scorpion believed that his skills would improve greatly, and he would be able to create better works of art.
"Hey, how come they all have benefits, but what about me?"
Musashi saw that Pain first arranged a position of chief financial officer for Kakuzu, and then promised benefits to Sasori, but after waiting for a long time he didn't hear anything from him, he couldn't help but ask.
"You have a chance to comprehend the power of God once a month. Aren't you satisfied?" Payne asked back.
Musashi:…
He didn't know what to say for a moment.
You could say this is a benefit, except that I get beaten by Payne once a month.
This is not a benefit, it seems rare that Pain is willing to fight him every month given his strength and status.
"Hehe, that's great, it benefits everyone." Jue started his asking-for-a-punch smile.
"Are you a human? Or a psychic beast or a product of some laboratory?" Scorpion asked Jue curiously.
He was quite curious about Jue. Although he had the normal facial features such as nose, ears, eyes, etc., his body was half black and half evenly divided.
"Your question is really rude. Of course I am a noble artificial human being." Jue said with some dissatisfaction.
"Artificial human? I really want to study you." Scorpion said honestly.
He has always believed that eternity is the true art, and he continues to explore along this path.
Although the idea of transforming oneself into a human puppet is very good, how to preserve one's consciousness during the transformation process is a difficult problem to solve.
If his consciousness disappears during the transformation process, then it is naturally not eternal, and it is not his art.
The artificial man Jue seems to be quite intelligent, so Scorpion wants to study him.
"That's enough. Zetsu is an important member of Akatsuki. His reconnaissance and intelligence gathering are very useful to the organization." Pain said.
If he didn't say anything, he was afraid that Scorpion would really rush forward and Kaka would dissect Jue.
Although Jue is on Uchiha Madara's side, he was sent by Uchiha Madara to monitor him.
However, the absolute ability to gather intelligence is indeed what Xiao particularly needs at this stage.
It wouldn't matter even if one of Musashi Kakuzu's men was missing, but nothing could happen now.
"Before all members of the organization are recruited, we will focus on recruiting companions. As for future matters, we will announce them after all members of the organization are gathered." Tendo Pain talked about the main operations of the Akatsuki organization at present.
"Since the official activities are not about to start, I'm going to go out and see if there are any ninjas with high bounties in the Rain Country."
There is no doubt that the person who said this could only be Kakuzu.
"Okay, the organization will contact us through the ring when action is needed." Payne nodded expressionlessly.
An organization that is powerful enough to disrupt the order of the ninja world is about to evolve into its complete form.
