Chapter 322: Tobi
A man's fingers were seen tapping on a folded newspaper. It was Kaito's. Next to him was Sasori, and the two were inside an open bar.
"Would you look at that," Sasori rumbled.
On a grainy photograph of Kaito was a bold headline that read, "Unbelievable Return? Shinobi Kaito Spotted After A Brief Silence."
The article went on to detail how he was reported by Margaret Senju and that he's now notoriously part of the Akatsuki organization. And while there was no apparent proof, readers believed it.
"There goes your hope of remaining incognito," Sasori added.
Kaito merely took a sip of his drink in response as the background noise continued behind them.
He could honestly care less about his identity being known. Because if Arthur hadn't already done something about it, then it was safe to assume that Kaito could continue on as a member of the Akatsuki openly.
As they stepped out, he felt eyes on him. Most ignored Sasori but couldn't ignore his unusual figure.
When Sasori paused to eye the onlookers, one of their faces paled. The murmurs stopped, they looked down, and their bravados were erased.
Who were they to try and stop members of the Akatsuki?
The two, therefore, continued on the open trail. Suddenly, they both received a mental message. Pain's voice said, "Head to the Grass Village and meet with one of our spies there."
