I unleashed a Hundred Demons Parade in the Ninja World

Nagato responded calmly.

Even though the news of Uchiha Ara's deeds had a huge impact on him, it could not completely erase the obsession in his heart.

"So, what do I need to do next?"

Xiao Nan no longer had any doubts.

Because the other person is your only companion in this world, and the only person you can completely trust!

If you don't support the other party's actions, then who should you support?

Upon hearing this, Nagato did not answer directly. Instead, he used a special ninjutsu unique to the Rinnegan—the [Illusionary Body Technique]—by opening and closing his eyes.

As the 'wave of longing' spread, a tall, slender male phantom suddenly appeared in the empty cave.

Aside from his tall and slender physique, what is most striking are his scarlet eyes that still shine through the seven-colored ripples and the Konoha headband with a horizontal line drawn across it.

It was none other than Konoha's rogue ninja, Uchiha Itachi.

"leader."

The person who appeared didn't care about the empty surroundings, but simply and casually called out.

"Um,"

"This time, we will go to Takigakure to bring back Fu, the Seven-Tails Jinchuriki."

"I have already had someone send you a map of Takigakure Village, as well as a simplified internal map."

Nagato showed no dissatisfaction with the visitor's attitude and spoke calmly as well.

"Yes."

Uchiha Itachi did not refuse and accepted the order immediately.

"Well, back off."

The dialogue between the two was simple and direct.

However, just as the Konoha rogue ninja, presented in the image, was about to withdraw his chakra response, he seemed to remember something and calmly asked:

"Chief, do you no longer need me to continue searching for the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki within the Land of Fire?"

Such inquiries, though seemingly ordinary, inexplicably made the already spacious and quiet space feel oppressive.

"Just follow the leader's orders, why ask so many questions!"

Upon seeing this, Xiao Nan immediately rebuked him, her voice cold.

While there was no direct hostility, it was certainly not friendly either.

After all, her affection for Itachi Uchiha had diminished considerably, because someone had left a subtle but meaningful reminder when fulfilling their promise to provide the forbidden [Edo Tensei] technique:

Itachi Uchiha was merely a spy for Konoha, a double agent used to protect his younger brother, Sasuke Uchiha.

Furthermore, the other party was brought by that bastard who claimed to be Uchiha Madara, making it hard not to wonder if this guy is a triple agent!

"Konan, Itachi is our comrade."

"Next, Konan and I will go to Konoha to search for the Nine-Tails, so you can go to the Land of Waterfalls."

However, Nagato was not as extreme as the woman. Instead, after giving a mild reprimand and reiterating their status as companions, she revealed her pre-planned scheme.

Now that Konoha is severely weakened, it's the perfect time to invade and capture the Nine-Tails. Although there's no one else in the organization he can use, he still has the trump card of Six Paths Pain.

Most importantly, they still have a blood debt with Konoha that hasn't been settled, and this is the perfect opportunity to recoup that debt with interest.

It's a pity that the old fox Shimura Danzo has been missing for a long time, and it's difficult to find any trace of him in the entire ninja world.

"Yes."

Upon hearing the answer, Itachi Uchiha showed little reaction and disappeared into the cave after giving a brief response.

After the outsiders left, Xiao Nan finally couldn't suppress the questions in her heart:

"Although I know it's wrong to doubt my comrades, so far, the information that person has given us has been without any problems. If Uchiha Itachi really is a double agent, or even a triple agent, what should we do then?"

"Then, considering his merit in capturing the Two-Tails and the Four-Tails, let his soul return to his hometown."

"At this point, the organization no longer needs any outsiders."

Nagato responded indifferently.

Isn't this operation also a test for the last remaining person?

Whether Itachi Uchiha shares the same will as the Akatsuki, whether he truly wants to create a perfect world with them, or whether he is a spy from Konoha, will all be revealed in this operation.

.........

.........

at the same time,

A large, well-traveled escort convoy arrived at the border of the Land of Hot Springs under the moonlight.

In recent times, with the infamous reputation of the first Demon Shadow rising to a new level, it's quite audacious that someone still dares to come despite the fearsome name.

By the light of the sky and moon, one could vaguely make out that the markings on the carriage seemed to come from the distant land of demons.

Chapter 703 Death is Coming, Shion's Prophecy.

"You are the first Hokage of this village, Uchiha Ara?"

The girl looked at the young leader who was seated in the main seat of her field of vision and asked him without any politeness.

However, without waiting for a response, she continued speaking to herself:

"Hmm, just like the person in my dream, it must be you."

The visitor's impolite and self-serving remarks immediately aroused the dissatisfaction of the high-ranking members of the Demon Hidden Sect present.

"Little girl, use honorifics properly when you speak to my master."

"Neither priestesses nor princesses are of any use here!"

Chino scolded,

It should be noted that even she, when there are outsiders present, will add the suffix "adult" after "wilderness" and will never call him by his name directly!

Unexpectedly, this girl from a remote country immediately displayed an arrogant and overbearing attitude upon meeting us, completely disregarding our authority!

However, with its blood dragon eye not being visible, its relatively small size and clear voice seem to have no deterrent effect whatsoever.

"Lady Shion, this is the Land of Hot Springs."

At the same time, a guard dressed in samurai attire and wearing glasses hurriedly stepped forward, whispering to the girl while immediately apologizing to the high-ranking members of the Demon Hidden Sect present:

"I apologize for my rudeness, my lord. Lady Shion has lived in the Land of Demons since childhood, and this is her first time traveling to another country."

"I am Lady Shion's bodyguard, Ashiho."

"We have indeed come here today because we have something very important to discuss with Lord Yaoying."

"This concerns the future of Lord Demon Shadow and Demon Hidden Village."

After apologizing, the bespectacled man then calmly and respectfully added that, in the end, as the one speaking on behalf of the priestess, he was, on the surface, an equal to the high-ranking members of the demon monstrous society present.

And as he said, they traveled thousands of miles from the Land of Demons, not to pay homage to him because of his recent infamous reputation.

"Humph."

"Ashiho, why are you apologizing? I came here for their leader's sake!"

"Besides, I'm just a little girl, why should I be called a little girl?"

The girl, known as the shrine maiden, did not agree with the guard's excuse. Instead, she turned her face away with a haughty snort, leaving only her fair and delicate profile visible.

“Uchiha Ara, I’m not joking. I’ve already foreseen your fate.”

"If you really don't want to know, then I'll leave now."

"At that time, you'll have to bear the consequences yourself."

The girl turned her face away and continued speaking.

The word "fate" that slipped out carried a strange magic, directly catching Chino off guard and bringing her to the brink of exploding.

However, this also aroused the latter's murderous intent.

Do you really know the consequences of angering a ninja, you mere hothouse flower living in the royal court?

A touch of scarlet quietly bloomed at the corner of his eye.

Izumi also exhibited the same attitude.

Her body tensed slightly, her beautiful eyes lowered, and a certain idea had already taken root in her heart.

Ever since Ara returned from the Land of Lightning, he had noticed some changes in his beloved.

Not only did he increase the bounty on the two Uchiha traitors, but he also unusually set aside some time to spend with himself and his clansmen.

For them, such companionship is something to look forward to.

But she also knew Huang's nature well; he would absolutely not stop until all his enemies were completely wiped out.

Unless, during its campaign against Kumogakure, some unforeseen event occurred that prompted this subtle change.

When exactly, and under what circumstances, would Huang set aside his precious time before his obsession was fulfilled?

Izumi dared not think any further, and forcibly attributed the change in her beloved to the temporary relaxation after the threat from Kumogakure was resolved.

And this hope was finally shattered when the Miko of the Land of Demons arrived.

Long before the night of the massacre, she began to do a lot of reading, reading about Konoha, the five great ninja villages, and the forces of the entire ninja world, hoping to be of some use at some point.

Among them, the Land of Demons, which has a priestess, is naturally within its scope of knowledge.

Legend has it that the priestesses of the Land of Demons possess two special abilities:

Firstly, it is to seal away a demon, a terrifying demon that once nearly destroyed the entire ninja world.

Secondly, it has the ability to predict the future, but this predictive power is not complete, because it can only predict the death of others, nothing more!

Thinking of this, and recalling what the girl had mentioned, Izumi's slender fingers, resting on her lap, gradually curled up and then clenched into a fist.

I will absolutely not let that happen!!
