It seemed the immortal duo had already teamed up. Currently, Akatsuki members rarely acted together, so only Kakuzu and Hidan were out in the field.

"Well then, let me send back your intel first. That way we won't be at such a disadvantage when we have to fight you later."

Natsuki thought to himself as he used Suikyou no Jutsu (Water Mirror Technique) to capture their images, then took out pen and paper to draw them.

To avoid alerting them, he couldn't even use a camera. With Kakuzu's sensitivity, he would sense it immediately.

Sure enough, just as Natsuki began drawing, Kakuzu suddenly turned his head sharply in his direction. Instantly, Natsuki used Hiraishin no Jutsu (Flying Thunder God Technique) to flash away.

"Kakuzu, what's wrong? Why are you jumping around like that?" Hidan asked casually.

"It's nothing."

"Hah? You getting jumpy over some bug?"

"I just wanted to check if there were any bounties around."

"Bounties, bounties… it's always about bounties with you. Don't you ever get tired of it?"

"I only believe in money. Besides, I earn this bounty money to fund the organization. Don't make it sound meaningless."

"Yeah yeah, whatever."

The two continued talking as they entered the bounty station.

Far away in a hidden position, Natsuki quietly put away his scroll. He had already drawn them clearly. He knew Tsunade would take this intel seriously.

Then he used Hiraishin no Jutsu to instantly send the scroll back to Konoha.

Now, there was nothing left to do but wait for Tsunade's response. If she wanted to take action against Kakuzu and Hidan, that would be best.

After all, Akatsuki's activities weren't intense yet, and the safety of the Jinchuuriki wasn't under threat. They could focus their forces on eliminating these two dangerous enemies early. If any Konoha ninja encountered them alone in the future, it could end in disaster.

Meanwhile, back in the Hokage's office in Konoha.

Tsunade was busy yelling at Naruto again. He kept messing up missions, making her blood pressure skyrocket.

At that moment, a scroll suddenly appeared out of thin air and dropped onto her desk. Tsunade paused, immediately realizing it was from Natsuki.

Before leaving, he had left markers to send messages back.

Tsunade picked up the scroll and opened it. Her eyes widened, and she stood up abruptly.

"Tsunade-sama? Granny?" Shizune and Naruto both looked at her curiously.

"Naruto! Go get Tenten for me!"

"Granny Tsunade? Did Natsuki send a message?"

"Go quickly!"

Tsunade was so serious that Naruto didn't dare question further and rushed off to find Tenten.

Tsunade then turned to Shizune.

"Call the two advisors here. Also, get Kakashi. Even though—"

"Understood!"

Shizune could tell something was wrong and left immediately.

Tsunade looked down at the scroll again, rubbing her temples. She hadn't expected Akatsuki to have such terrifying members.

Before long, Homura, Koharu, Kakashi, and Tenten arrived.

Tsunade first turned to Tenten.

"Tenten, prepare."

Without delay, Tenten locked onto the marker on Natsuki's body and activated Hiraishin no Jutsu to send a message.

The two advisors were confused.

"Tsunade, why did you call us here in such a rush?"

"Wait a moment. You'll see."

Tsunade wasn't in the mood to explain. She waited calmly.

Fortunately, it didn't take long before another note returned.

Tenten asked anxiously.

"Tsunade-sama, did something happen to Natsuki?"

Tsunade smiled warmly.

"Don't worry. Natsuki's fine. The enemies are strong, so I sent instructions telling him to be careful. He's strong – he'll be alright. Go home and rest."

Tenten nodded, reassured by Tsunade's confidence, and left the office.

"Now can you tell us what's going on? We don't have time for you to dote on little girls!" The two old advisors were visibly annoyed.

"Just look at this. Once you see it, you'll stop complaining."

Tsunade tossed the scroll to them.

Homura and Koharu exchanged looks and opened it. Their expressions froze in shock.

The scroll was then handed to Kakashi. His eyes widened as he read.

"Kakuzu, a rogue ninja from Takigakure. He once attempted to assassinate the Shodai Hokage, but failed. He stole the village's forbidden jutsu, allowing him to have five hearts. All five hearts must be destroyed to kill him. His Earth Grudge Fear technique allows him to freely detach and reattach his body parts, making him nearly immortal.

"Hidan, an experimental subject of the Jashin cult from Yugakure in the Land of Rivers. A devout follower of Jashin, possessing immortality. Even destroying his heart will not kill him. His ritual technique involves drawing a special symbol on the ground, standing within it, and using an enemy's blood to form a link. Any damage he inflicts on himself is then transferred to the victim. Do not let him draw his ritual circle. Do not let him stand inside it. If affected, stop him immediately. He wields a triple-bladed scythe with expertise."

Additionally, there were sketches of both men.

The information was so unbelievable that everyone fell silent.

But they all knew Natsuki was trustworthy. Even though they didn't know how he obtained this intel, no one doubted it.

"Tsunade-sama, is Natsuki okay?" Kakashi asked quietly.

"He's fine. He's staying hidden, and they didn't notice him. I sent Tenten to deliver a message instructing him to prioritize caution."

Kakashi exhaled in relief.

He believed in Natsuki. With his caution and abilities, he wouldn't slip up.

Still… where did Akatsuki find these kinds of monsters?
