“Let’s give it a try first.” The Female Orochimaru said and carried Orochimaru into her laboratory.

Washi also had to take care of these things. As long as the courtyard was not blown up because Washi was not ready to care about Orochimaru’s research.

After the courtyard door was closed, Washi came to Kisame Hoshigaki’s side. He was in the same position as Tsunade before, squatting beside his head.

“You just said that Madara Uchiha was looking for you, right?” Washi looked at Kisame Hoshigaki and asked, “Did you see that guy’s clothes clearly? He was with Obito Uchiha.”

“Huh?” After hearing what Washi said, Kisame Hoshigaki remembered that the clothes of “Madara Uchiha” at that time were exactly the same as that of Orochimaru.

However, after Kisame Hoshigaki recalled a little, he pretended as if nothing had happened and continued, “So what?”

“Can’t you see that we are stronger than the Uchiha Madara you mentioned?” Speaking of this, Washi deliberately pointed to Hashirama and Minato behind him.

Kisame Hoshigaki rolled his eyes. Washi was right. From the looks of it, the strength of this side was indeed comparable to Akatsuki.

However, so what? What does the strength of both sides have to do with me, Kisame Hoshigaki?

Seeing that Kisame Hoshigaki did not reply, Washi continued, “Madara Uchiha recruited you. How about this, you can also consider this.”

“What?” Kisame Hoshigaki did not expect that these people who had beaten him up actually wanted to recruit him. If you wanted to recruit him, then why did you beat me up?

Other people, like Madara Uchiha, he used all good words, but you guys, when we meet, you throw Ninjutsu first.

“What? Not ready to agree?” Seeing that Kisame Hoshigaki still did not answer his question, Washi could only stand up, “Then let Orochimaru study you.”

“I… What if I agree?” Although Kisame Hoshigaki was a traitor of Kirigakure, he still knew Orochimaru’s name.

“If you agree, you can join Madara Uchiha’s group.” After Kisame Hoshigaki let go, Washi smiled at him.

Washi’s words suddenly made Kisame Hoshigaki somewhat confused. Are you recruiting yourself or helping your opponent recruit?

“Don’t you understand what I mean? You join us and then join Madara Uchiha. Do you understand now?”

Washi’s meaning was already very obvious. This time, recruiting Kisame Hoshigaki, there was no other meaning, just to let him enter Akatsuki, so as to know the various movements of the other side.

“You want me to be a spy?” Kisame Hoshigaki was not stupid, and he immediately guessed what Washi meant.

Washi nodded slightly and said, “Yes, if you agree, even if you are a member of our organization, you have to know that the Hashirama of Konoha, the 1st and 4th Hokage are all members of our organization.”

As Washi said this, he pointed to Minato and Hashirama behind him, “You have met the fourth generation Minato. This is the Hokage of Konoha, Hashirama.”

If Kisame Hoshigaki was just guessing, now Washi’s answer had helped him confirm it.

The few Hokage of Konoha are actually in the same organization. And most importantly, there’s actually Hashirama Senju and Tobirama Senju. This person’s strength is even stronger than Madara. In this case…

“I, think about it.” Although Washi had revealed his trump card, Kisame Hoshigaki still did not want to answer immediately.

Washi was quite satisfied with Kisame Hoshigaki’s answer. If this guy agreed, he would still have doubts. But now, Washi was relieved. “Well, I’ll give you one day. You can think about it.”

After Washi finished speaking, he directly said to Minato, “Minato, this guy will let go of the laboratory that Tobirama has yet to use.”

Since Kisame Hoshigaki wanted to think about it, then he would shut it up for two days.

And just as Washi was dealing with the captives,

On a tall building in Sujo City, Itachi, who was also wearing Akatsuki uniform, was looking at the direction of the courtyard where Washi was.

“Hashirama, 2nd Hokage, 4th Hokage and Orochimaru?”

Itachi was recalling the information he had observed through his Sharingan. The appearance of these four people also shocked him.

When Kisame Hoshigaki was dragged away, Itachi also ended the surveillance and began to rush to the mountain where Akatsuki was previously located.

Although he did not know that Konoha’s Hokage was still alive, he still had to do what he had to do.

Because he belongs to Konoha…

When he was about to arrive, Obito and Pain had already returned there before him.

“How is it? There seems to be a battle in the Sujo City?” Just as Itachi stopped, Pain asked him.

Itachi did not think much about it and said, “Orochimaru defected.”

“Orochimaru, defected?” Pain narrowed his eyes and said to Itachi word by word.

“Yes, he ran in the direction of Otogakure.” Itachi had already thought of how to answer, so he did not stop and directly answered.

“He ran away.”

Pain repeated Itachi’s words all the way, thinking about what was going on.

“Orochimaru, that’s normal.” The masked man laughed and said. He was already prepared for Orochimaru’s betrayal again.

This guy was not their comrade in the first place.

Pain was different from the masked man. After thinking for a short while, he snapped, “Get him back. He knows our plan. Moreover, I don’t want a traitor to the organization.”

“There’s no need for that for the time being.” “The mission is more important,” the masked man said.

When Pain heard this, he turned his head to look at the masked man. Then, he silently turned around and no longer looked at Itachi. This action could be considered to have tacitly approved of the masked man’s words.

After the three of them finished their conversation, Konan and Sasori returned to Pain’s side one after another.

“What? Orochimaru ran away?” Konan asked after Itachi introduced the situation again.

Although Konan and Orochimaru did not have much contact, in his opinion, this guy did not seem like he was going to betray them.

Compared to Konan’s confusion, Sasori’s mood was the exact opposite. Sasori, who had once been in the team with Orochimaru, had always disliked Orochimaru. It was good that this guy ran away. In this way, he would be able to see this guy a few more times.

After the ‘Orochimaru defected’ incident that Itachi had mentioned, Pain and the others no longer had the heart to continue searching the vicinity of Sujo City. The entire team began to return to the stronghold near Amagakure Capital.

When they left, Itachi did not have the slightest intention of paying attention to Sujo City. He followed Pain and Konan expressionlessly.

Behind him, Obito Uchiha kept staring at Itachi. After looking for a while, he turned back to look in the direction of Sujo City.
