Konoha: I, Uchiha, am brimming with positive energy

"Lord Jiraiya, where is the enemy?"

"They escaped! Quickly treat the wounded!"

Jiraiya quickly gave the order, and then the two toads on his shoulders jumped off.

After they left, the toad-like features on Jiraiya's body slowly faded away. Just now, Jiraiya's facial features and limbs had almost assimilated into a toad.

"Little Jiraiya, this fusion lasted a bit too long. If the opponent hadn't been about to retreat, you would have turned into a toad statue if the fight had continued."

The hermit Fukasaku warned that although they could help Jiraiya absorb and balance natural energy, the longer it went on, the more obvious the toad-like features on Jiraiya's body would become.

Master Shima asked, "Jiraiya, why were you fighting that Rinnegan kid? Isn't he your disciple?"

Jiraiya had previously gone to Mount Myōboku to show off his disciple and even wrote a book specifically for Nagato. Although the protagonist's name in the book was Naruto, the characters were based on Nagato, and the book was even published.

"This matter is complicated, but that disciple is now likely an enemy of Konoha; a Konoha ninja killed his friend, who was another of my disciples, because of a misunderstanding."

Jiraiya thought to himself, seething with anger. He really wanted to kill Danzo right now, because it was all because of Danzo and Hanzo getting involved.

"I see. It seems he's not the chosen one the master was talking about. It seems you still need to work harder, Jiraiya."

"We've been fighting for so long, we're exhausted. We haven't cooked dinner yet, so we're heading home now, Jiraiya."

Fukasaku and Shima said one after the other that since there was no more fighting, they were preparing to return.

"Thank you for your help today, boss and big sister."

Jiraiya waved goodbye, and then the two toad sages dispelled the summoning jutsu and returned to Mount Myōboku.

Jiraiya then went to help. Their casualties this time were quite significant. After giving the seriously injured a quick first aid, they had to leave the area immediately.

This is the Land of Rain. Such a fierce battle must have been discovered by the Rain Ninja. Hanzo might have already arrived with his men.

Thirty-two people died, thirteen were seriously injured, but they can be fully recovered with proper treatment after returning home. The remaining twenty all had minor injuries and their chakra was almost depleted.

The only thing they found was Yahiko's body, which had already been placed in a sealed storage scroll and put on Jiraiya's body. They would have the intelligence and medical teams analyze it when they got back.

Jiraiya still felt it was a bit of a pity; if it weren't for that masked man who appeared at the end, he could have definitely captured Nagato with serious injuries.

"Nagato, now you've truly become Konoha's enemy."

Jiraiya sighed inwardly. If Nagato were captured, he would do everything in his power to protect him once he returned to Konoha, even if it meant kowtowing to Orochimaru and going to find Tsunade.

However, Nagato killed so many Konoha ninjas and still managed to escape. He will definitely be designated as a top-tier S-rank dangerous mission by Konoha, and they will do everything in their power to hunt him down.

With such obvious hostility and the Rinnegan, an eye with immense potential, Konoha isn't stupid enough to let such an enemy roam the ninja world unchecked.

Not long after Jiraiya and the others left, Hanzo arrived at the battle site with some Rain Ninja.

The fierce battle devastated an area spanning several kilometers, eventually even affecting the adjacent forest.

When Hanzo saw this, his expression turned rather grim. No wonder Konoha had suddenly sent an envoy; they were planning to stall him.

"Is it all for that brat with the Rinnegan?"

Hanzo suddenly thought of this possibility, and the more he thought about it, the more likely it seemed; he had been tempted at the time, after all, it was the eyes of the Sage of Six Paths.

However, the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path was quite intimidating. Dozens of elite Rain Ninja, along with Danzo's elite ninjas, were slaughtered by the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path in just a short time, and no amount of means could be used to deal with it.

"The Konoha ninjas are really bold."

Hanzo pondered to himself, "This is Amegakure's territory. If Konoha takes the Rinnegan, wouldn't I suffer a huge loss?"

Once we get back, we must capture all the members of the Akatsuki!

Subsequently, Hanzo, having obtained no useful clues from the place, led his men back; however, upon returning, he did not immediately send the Konoha ninja away, but instead conveyed a request for a deep alliance to jointly capture the Akatsuki leader.

After all, the Akatsuki ninjas were all from Amegakure, and theoretically they were all rogue ninjas from Amegakure.

------------

After Jiraiya returned to Konoha, he ordered the wounded to be sent to Konoha Hospital, and then went to the Hokage Building to report the situation.

Hiruzen Sarutobi also learned of Jiraiya's return, given that there were more than twenty wounded soldiers and that he also had his own ANBU under his command.

Before Hatake Sakumo could even give a heads-up, Sarutobi Hiruzen arrived, and he also notified Namikaze Minato, who was resting at home after completing a mission.

"The fourth generation"

Minato Namikaze scratched his head somewhat embarrassedly after entering. He currently held no official position and had not been notified to come, but the Third Hokage had summoned him, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and come along.

"Since you're here, listen to everything, Minato. You'll definitely be involved in this mission someday."

Sakumo Hatake told Minato Namikaze that he was always very lenient with the village's ninjas, except for matters of principle.

"I'm sorry, Fourth Hokage, with Yoichi's assistance, this mission has been a failure."

Jiraiya's expression was somewhat unpleasant as he slowly recounted his experience during the mission.

They didn't make any mistakes throughout the entire process, except for a miscalculation in intelligence; they didn't expect Nagato to have an accomplice who knew space-time ninjutsu.

"So many casualties"

Upon hearing this, Hatake Sakumo's expression darkened. He had sent out so many ninjas out of a sense of security, but he hadn't expected to underestimate the power of the Rinnegan.

And I never expected that Nagato would have an accomplice.

"Jiraiya, hand over the bodies you brought back to the intelligence unit and the autopsy department first. I don't really believe that two pairs of Rinnegan will appear all at once, and this guy named Yahiko should already be dead."

After finishing his sentence, Hatake Sakumo turned to Uchiha Yoichi and asked, "Yoichi-kun, what are your plans?"

Uchiha Yoichi thought for a moment and said, "Let's continue searching for their whereabouts. We've gained a lot of information about the Rinnegan from this encounter. Next time, we can send out an elite task force to capture them. If all else fails, I'll go myself."

Upon hearing this, the room fell silent, and almost everyone turned their gaze toward Uchiha Yoichi.

When they heard that Uchiha Yoichi was going to personally take action, no one thought he would fail; everyone just thought that Nagato, who had the Rinnegan, was doomed.

Over the years, from when Uchiha Yoichi was weak to now, he has never lost a mission. Even when Konoha was in decline on the battlefield, it was Uchiha Yoichi who held on.

Any mission he's in is guaranteed to fail.

"Fourth Hokage, with Yoichi as your advisor, let me handle this task. I promise I'll bring Nagato back next time."

After taking a deep breath, Jiraiya said, "If Uchiha Yoichi makes a move, Nagato is definitely doomed."

"Jiraiya, you were just injured."

"I'm fine with it. Leave this to Minato and me. The two of us will definitely take down Nagato!"

After Jiraiya finished speaking, he cast a pleading look at Minato.

Upon seeing this, Minato Namikaze stepped forward and said, "Fourth Hokage, with Yoichi as your assistant, please give Jiraiya-sensei and me one last chance. We promise to bring Nagato back."

Sakumo Hatake pondered for a moment, then looked at Yoichi Uchiha and asked, "Yoichi-kun?"

Uchiha Yang said, "Then let them handle it. If Minato and Jiraiya can't capture that Rinnegan, then I'll go."

"In that case, I'll leave this task to you, Jiraiya and Minato."

Sakumo Hatake said, "Continue to intensify the tracking of Nagato and Konan, while also gathering intelligence on other Akatsuki members. If necessary, I will contact Hanzo, and I will inform you once I have any information."

"Jiraiya, let's put your previous mission on hold for now."

Jiraiya, somewhat embarrassed, replied, "I understand." He had only asked for the mission because he wanted to investigate the clues in Ryuchi Cave, but there had been no progress for several months.

Now that I've said that, Jiraiya does feel a little ashamed.

"Yoichi-kun, I wonder if we could sell those highly defensive ninja outfits from the Uchiha clan to the village?"

Hatake Sakumo suddenly spoke up. He had noticed it when Kakashi put on that ninja outfit. Today, the Anbu ninjas suffered heavy casualties, but the Uchiha clan ninjas only suffered minor injuries. So he wanted to ask Yoichi-kun's opinion.

"These ninja outfits are very difficult to manufacture, and even our own clan has very few of them. But since the Fourth Hokage said so, let's supply ten each month and sell them to the village at 'cost price'."

After pretending to think for a moment, Uchiha Yoichi said, "Let the Fourth Hokage distribute them then."

"Thank you, Yang Yi-kun."

Sakumo Hatake smiled gratefully, then looked around at everyone.

"That's all for today. I'll let you all know once the intelligence team has analyzed the information. If there's nothing else, go back and rest."

After Sakumo Hatake finished speaking, the people in the Hokage's office nodded and left.

After leaving behind a wooden clone, Uchiha Yoichi went back to do other things.

Now he and Sakumo Hatake have a clear division of labor: he is responsible for village renovations, contacting the presidents of major chambers of commerce in the Land of Fire, and discussing matters related to the prosperity of Konoha Village.

After the Ninja Paradise was completed, Konoha Village still has several projects, such as the railway trade route, the move-in of new residential areas, and even some nobles and business owners who want to move into Konoha Village. They hope to allocate a piece of land to build their "noble district".

However, Uchiha Yoichi has not yet agreed to this matter.

Abundant resources create a siphon effect, and ordinary Konoha villagers are most sensitive to this change. People have already come to their door wanting to buy their houses, and they've offered a high price.

However, not many people sell their houses, since they would have to move away from Konoha if they sold them. Moreover, the villagers living in Konoha all want their children to enter the Ninja Academy and become ninjas.

The village of Konoha is becoming more prosperous every day. Although many people praise Sakumo Hatake as the great Hokage who supported Konoha after the war, Sakumo Hatake and the Konoha leadership know that the village's gradual prosperity is largely thanks to Yoichi Uchiha.

Upon returning home, Uchiha Yoichi had just entered the house when Mina came up to him, carrying Karin, and said, "Yoichi-sama, look at Karin, she's so cute~!"

"Indeed, she's worthy of being my daughter!"

Uchiha Yoichi used his Sharingan and sensory ninjutsu to examine Karin, and found that her life force was extremely strong; he estimated that she would be able to awaken the three-tomoe Sharingan by the age of ten.

Yugito, who was standing to the side, rolled her eyes when she heard Uchiha Yoichi's self-praise; however, the well-behaved Karin was indeed very cute, and she would often hug her.

Sitting on the sofa, Mikoto no longer envied Mina. She gently stroked her belly; Sasuke would be born in a few months.

Mikoto had already told Itachi that he would soon have a younger brother. After hearing this, Itachi didn't think about anything else, but he was just looking forward to the birth of his brother.

After all, Itachi Uchiha is still a child, and no one in the clan mentions Fugaku Uchiha anymore.

----------

"You were too impulsive today, Nagato."

After bringing Nagato back, Obito said to him, "After we left, dozens more Konoha ninjas came, and Tobi is almost at his limit. In that case, you'll be the one with limited mobility dealing with so many enemies."

"Yes, yes, I'm almost at my limit."

After saying that, Afei scratched his empty head. Was he about to die? But if Obito said so, then so be it. Now he and White Zetsu both listened to Obito.

"Sorry, Minami, I've lost Yahiko's body!"

Nagato ignored Obito and spoke to Konan instead.

When Konan heard that Yahiko's body had been lost, she was saddened, but she still comforted him, saying, "It's good that you're back safe and sound, Nagato. Don't be impulsive again."

"You can't stay here any longer, Nagato. You saw the intensity of Konoha's pursuit of you today—hundreds of ninja, and there will definitely be more later. So, leave this place."

Obito didn't care whether Nagato paid attention to him or not, as long as Nagato listened to him.

Nagato and Konan were silent for a moment, then Nagato asked, "Where are you going?"

"If you continue in the Land of Rain, even Hanzo might come to capture you; Konoha covets your Rinnegan, do you think Hanzo doesn't covet it too?"

Obito stood up and, as he walked outside, continued, "I've finished speaking. The decision is yours. But how many times can you withstand Konoha's attack today? If you want to leave, go find White Zetsu."

Before he could finish speaking, Obito Uchiha left; he suddenly realized today that Konoha's strength was far too great and he needed to find an opportunity to weaken it.

However, now that the village has a powerful figure like Konoha Raiga, although his Kamui is difficult to break, what if Konoha Raiga seizes an opportunity?

We need to get White Zetsu to gather more information about Konoha!

After Obito Uchiha left, Nagato and Konan discussed the matter and ultimately decided to temporarily leave the Land of Rain.

However, this is the place Yahiko dreamed of, and Nagato secretly vowed that he would definitely return once he mastered the power of the Rinnegan.

To avenge Yahiko, retrieve Yahiko's body, and fulfill Yahiko's wish!
