Naruto: I, Naruto, started with the Rinnegan

They quickly found themselves at a disadvantage.

Even with their desperate attempts to escape, they were ultimately surrounded by Yagura and his men.

The final result was... Juzo Biwa used his Executioner's Blade to catch the Tailed Beast Ball and save Itachi... but he himself was stabbed in the chest and abdomen by the broken Executioner's Blade and died on the spot.

These are minor matters. To Xiao, dying in battle because one is not strong enough is simply deserved.

Pain looked at Kakuzu and asked, "Where's Orochimaru? Why haven't I seen him? Did he die in battle too?"

Before Kakuzu could answer, Itachi calmly said, "I encountered Orochimaru on the road. He attacked me, but I defeated him with genjutsu."

The Akatsuki members couldn't help but glance at him sideways. It was a bit outrageous that one of the legendary Sannin had been defeated by you using genjutsu.

"So... Orochimaru has defected again?"

Pain's purple Rinnegan flashed with an eerie light.

On the surface, Akatsuki members are not allowed to attack each other, but Orochimaru attacked Itachi and has not shown up yet. What else could that be but a defection from Akatsuki?

Kakuzu's eyes lit up, and he volunteered, "Boss, are we going to hunt down Orochimaru? Let me go."

In the black market, Orochimaru's bounty is over 100 million.

Scorpion said, "Then add me to the list."

Pain did not refuse, and the team tasked with hunting down Orochimaru was thus decided.

"Zetsu, do you have any information about the golden Rinnegan?"

Payne glanced at the man with the two-toned face.

Zetsu shook his head and said, "No, I suspect that Orochimaru may have released false information."

This is a lie.

Ever since learning that a second pair of Rinnegan might exist in the ninja world, Zetsu has gone mad, using all his spies throughout the ninja world to gather all sorts of information.

It was finally confirmed that a pair of Rinnegan were indeed hidden in the ninja world.

It's unclear who has it exactly, but the woman Orochimaru mentioned has been found.

Currently wandering around the Land of Rice Fields, he is being monitored by White Zetsu.

Pain was silent for a moment, then said in a deep voice, "Whether it's true or not, you must search diligently until you capture Orochimaru to confirm."

"Yes."

Xiao Nan said, "There are many miscellaneous tasks these days, and the organization is short-handed; we need to recruit more people."

After saying that, Xiao Nan handed out a wanted poster to everyone to see.

"Obito Uchiha, an S-rank rogue ninja, orchestrated the Nine-Tails attack and caused the death of the Fourth Hokage, leading to the Uchiha clan's annihilation..."

The more they looked, the more shocked they became. This guy... he's really fierce.

Even though everyone here has an impressive track record, they still pale in comparison to Obito.

Kakuzu asked, "Leader, are you trying to recruit Obito Uchiha into the organization?"

Scorpion said, "I acknowledge that he is qualified to join the organization."

Payne said, "No need, he's always been with our organization...you agree, right, Fei?"

hooligan?

What does this have to do with Afei?

Kakuzu and Sasori were taken aback and turned to look.

Itachi stared intently at Tobi with his crimson kaleidoscope eyes, radiating murderous intent.

"What... is going on with you guys?"

.........

Outside the Xiaoji base, a light drizzle was falling.

After the meeting, Itachi waited for Obito to arrive.

"Itachi, are you blaming me for deceiving you?"

call out!

In response to Obito, Itachi unleashed a shuriken and attacked him, his hands flashing as he spat out a ball of flame.

"The name Madara is just to make things easier for me. I am not Madara, but that doesn't mean I am weak."

Obito walked out of the flames unharmed, without even a wrinkle on his clothes.

"My strength remains unchanged. Does it matter whether I'm Madara or not?"

Looking at the Hollowfied Obito, Itachi sighed inwardly, "What a nuisance..."

"What you said makes sense."

Itachi stopped his attack and said calmly, "But... Obito-senpai promised me he would no longer attack Konoha, and now you have broken that promise..."

Obito immediately said, "Forgive me, Itachi, this is the last time."

That's exactly what Itachi said when dealing with his younger brother.

Itachi suppressed the subtle emotions in his heart, turned and left, leaving behind the words, "You'd better do so."

——Konoha——

After spending two days in the hospital undergoing physical examinations and checking the seals to ensure everything was in order, Naruto was finally allowed to be discharged.

When I got home, the house had been repaired and there was no trace of the battle.

The wood carvings displayed in the shop window are all there too.

Looking at the various anime characters in different poses, Naruto rested his chin on the back of his hand, pondered for a long time, and then took out a Fu Hua from among them.

"It's time to find some time to make a second one..."

bang bang bang...

A knock came at the door. Naruto put the wooden carving back in the display case, drew the curtains to cover it, and then turned to open the door.

The visitor was the Third Hokage. He entered the house, exchanged a few words of concern and greetings, and then handed over a wad of cash on the table, along with a scroll.

The money was for living expenses; two thousand taels, four times the original amount.

However, Naruto already had plenty of money.

The scroll is a ninjutsu, specifically the Shadow Clone Technique, and it was said to be a gift for his discharge from the hospital.

However, Naruto had already mastered this ninjutsu.

"Thank you, grandpa."

Naruto, completely unmoved, offered his sincere gratitude.

The Third Hokage smiled, took a deep drag of his cigarette, and two puffs of white smoke came out of his nostrils. He thought to himself that Minato was too concerned and confused. How could he be heartbroken over such a good kid?

"Naruto, do you know about your past...?"

Should I know?

Naruto thought quickly and nodded, "I know."

Logically speaking, it would be strange if he didn't know.

.........

"You old codger, all you're saying is that you don't want to reveal Naruto's identity. What kind of excuse is that, saying you have your reasons? Bah..."

Inside the sealed space, Kushina angrily berated the Third Hokage.

"Mom, there's no need to be angry. The third generation is right. It's really inappropriate to reveal our true parentage now, as it would damage Dad's reputation."

After dealing with the Third Hokage, Naruto's spirit entered the sealed space to comfort Kushina and tell her not to be angry.

"Bullshit! How does it damage your reputation? If revealing your background will damage your reputation, then you don't need the reputation at all."

Kushina habitually grabbed her son's ear, warning him not to have such abnormal thoughts.

Naruto nodded repeatedly, "You're right, you're right, so can I let go now?"

Kushina released her grip, continuing her furious tirade against the Third Hokage from afar, before turning to Naruto and saying, "The fault lies entirely with the Third Hokage, Naruto. Don't blame the entire Hidden Leaf Village, understand?"

Naruto's lips twitched: "Mom, what are you worried about? I'm not that fragile, I won't suddenly decide to take revenge on society..."

"That's good, but if you really want to, then take revenge on those who are in the wrong."

Kushina looked like she breathed a sigh of relief.

Naruto couldn't help but roll his eyes. You're really worried I'll become Obito...?

.........

In the Land of Fields, Orochimaru emerged from the forest and stood before the Kage.

"Have you stayed in the Land of Fields all these days just to find me?"

Is it really necessary for you to be so persistent? We have no grudge against each other. Just because I glanced at you a couple of times, is it really necessary for you to be so relentless?
