"I refuse."
"Are you kidding me? Leader, you're not asking us to save people, you're asking us to die!"
"Leader, I'm sorry, but if that's the case, there's no way …"
After Pain disclosed the details of the information, the members of the Akatsuki shook their heads.
Although Payne had already expected everyone's reaction, when he saw how determined they were, his face became quite ugly.
"…" Itachi looked at the simple topographic map that Pain drew on the stone wall, frowned, and immediately said to Pain, "The surrounding terrain, and the fact that the Rock Ninjas are coming out in full force, it can be regarded as a military operation, and the overwhelming number of ninjas … If this is the case, the rescue operation is impossible."
Itachi's real identity as a spy ninja placed by Konoha in the Akatsuki, in the Akatsuki, he generally acts in a low-key way, and he doesn't express his opinions at all.
However, it's very rare for Itachi to say something like this.
Because unlike other people, the Akatsuki is composed of S-class ninjas from all over the world. They joined with various purposes, and it can be said that they are a group of people with ulterior motives.
Uchiha Itachi saw it clearly, but as they worked together over the years, Itachi also knew that in the Akatsuki, Pain and Konan were different. Although their positions were different, he knew that both of them were kind-hearted and had lofty ideals of changing the world and eliminating war.
Maybe Itachi didn't agree with their approach, but in any case, they had the same ideals, and they had a strong resonance.
Therefore, Itachi didn't want any accidents to happen to Pain and Konan.
"This is the Lost Hill in the east of the Land of Earth, also known as the Forbidden Land of Hell.
There are many caves, and the terrain is complex. For outsiders, it's simply a dangerous place that can't be entered. However, for the Rock Ninjas who are proficient in Earth Release, they have an absolute advantage.
Moreover, the Rock Ninja army is politically stable, and they can mobilize at any time.
Sasori calmly analyzed, "In this case, if we want to rescue our companions, then our existence will be known by the entire Shinobi World the next day, and all the intelligence work we have done over the years will go down the drain." Sasori calmly analyzed, "In this case, if we want to rescue our companions, then our existence will be known by the Shinobi World the next day, and all the intelligence work we have done over the years will go down the drain.
At the same time, if we were to fight with the Rock Army, which has an overwhelming advantage in numbers, we would have to bear the risk of heavy losses.
If things go wrong, some of you might even lose your lives. "
"It's not a possibility, it's a certainty!"
Deidara frowned, "The Tsuchikage of the Rock has a powerful Bloodstain Elimination ability. If we fight him, we won't be able to retreat, and there are tens of thousands of Rock Ninjas …"
"…" Deidara shook his head, and then he looked embarrassed, "I'm sorry, Sasori san and I are now in the Land of Hot Water, I'm afraid we can't help …"
"On our side, we killed two of their Jonins and used Transformation Jutsu to sneak in. If we retreat immediately, I'm afraid we will be exposed.
The task of collecting information about the Jinchuriki will also fail, and the Waterfall Ninjas will be more vigilant after that.
What to do, Leader, you decide for yourself. "
Even if there was no task, and Pain asked him to go to the Lost Hill to save people, he wouldn't go. What a joke, as a messenger of the Evil God, he only knows how to kill, how can he save people?
Also, he wasn't stupid, with only a few people, he would fight against tens of thousands of Rock Ninjas, and in that kind of geographical disadvantage.
Even if Hidan wasn't afraid of death, but if he was chopped into pieces, even if he didn't die, he wouldn't be able to live.
This time, Kakuzu didn't reprimand Hidan for speaking rudely, he just remained silent. Money was always above all else, so he didn't have any loyalty to Akatsuki. Only because he was in charge of Akatsuki's financial affairs, he could fish out a lot of profits, so he became a member of Akatsuki.
Asking him to do such a risky task, but the benefits are not proportional, he won't listen to Pain.
"Is that so?"
Payne wasn't too surprised by these people's refusal. Although he was angry, he also understood that this wasn't the time for internal strife. In fact, the other people saw that Payne couldn't use force against them at this time, so they dared to openly defy Payne's order.
Pain immediately turned his gaze to Uchiha Itachi and Kisame Kisame on the side, and muttered, "So what about you?"
"Hey ~" Kisame sneered and was about to refuse, but at this time, Itachi stood up and said softly, "Leader, I am willing to participate in this rescue operation."
"Itachi …" Kisame was surprised by the former's move, but it seemed that he also had an idea, his eyes flashed, and he said with a gloomy smile, "Ah, since Itachi said to participate, then as a companion, I also count in."
"Very good."
Pain looked at Uchiha Itachi with a deep gaze. He could feel the latter's goodwill, but he still couldn't guess Itachi's thoughts at this time. But no matter what, if Itachi is willing to help, that would be great.
As for Kisame Kisame, Pain looked at the latter coldly. He knew that Kisame Kisame was a confidant of "Uchiha Madara", and was arranged in Akatsuki, probably to monitor him, but Pain didn't have time to care about this at this time.
Finally …
Pain's eyes fell on Kirito, and he asked with a hopeful tone, "Kirito, so what do you mean?"
