Born in Sunagakure, dedicated to antagonizing Konoha for decades

Itachi Uchiha was the second person in his many years of professional life to truly consider him a comrade and someone he could entrust his future to with complete peace of mind, just like that girl from years ago who didn't discriminate against him because of his appearance. Sadly, beauty is fleeting, and such people are rare these days...

......

A dark underground city somewhere in the ninja world.

This is one of the properties that Madara left to Obito, and at this moment Obito is transplanting eyes into the second male lead.

Ever since the second male lead listened to Obito's persuasive words and rediscovered his direction in life, in order to obtain invincible power, he asked Obito to help him transplant Itachi Uchiha's Mangekyou Sharingan so that it could evolve into the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan.

Once you awaken the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan, you will be the king of the world, and destroying Konoha and killing Danzo will be a piece of cake.

"Your eyes have been transplanted and are currently only in the initial fusion stage. I think you should have already felt this powerful force. However, you will need to wait a few more days to become familiar with it. I also just received news that the five great ninja villages are preparing to depart for the Land of Iron for the Five Kage Summit. If you want to avenge the Uchiha clan and Itachi, this is a good opportunity."

After a series of complicated transplant procedures, the second male lead, whose eyes were still bandaged, said as he cleaned the bloodstains from his hands.

He received news that Nagato was about to take action against Konoha, which he agreed with. This was because the Hokage of Konoha was going to the Land of Iron to attend the Five Kage Summit. At that time, White Fang and Tsunade would probably accompany the Fifth Hokage to the Land of Iron. Konoha, which did not have any high-end combat power, would naturally not be able to withstand the impact of Nagato's Six Paths puppets. Even without the assistance of Tobi, who was transformed into Nagato, and his subordinate Kisame, there should be no problem.

But for some reason, Nagato insisted on making a move before the Fifth Hokage, Tsunade, and White Fang set off, wanting to confront Konoha head-on. And with that determined look on his face, neither Nagato nor Black Zetsu could dissuade him.

At this point, Obito and the old man of the Six Paths felt that they couldn't put all their hopes on this reckless Nagato. They couldn't put all their eggs in one basket; they had to prepare for both possibilities.

Born in Konoha, he participated in World War III and was acutely aware of Konoha's strength. It wasn't just about high-level combat; even without the Uchiha clan, Konoha's overall strength far surpassed other villages. Even now, with only White Fang and Tsunade remaining as high-level fighters, these two were not easy to deal with. While White Fang was nearing the end of his prime and not as strong as before, this only referred to the power of his Hatake swordsmanship. But White Fang didn't rely on Hatake swordsmanship for his livelihood; he was able to rival Shiki for so many years thanks to his godlike movement. Even with his space-time ninjutsu, he wasn't entirely confident he could face White Fang. Those who hadn't witnessed it firsthand could never imagine how graceful White Fang's movements were. He happened to be a witness, able to move effortlessly and without even touching Shiki's clothes amidst the wave-like sword energy. Frankly, without seeing it firsthand, he would have thought it was just boasting.

Add to that Tsunade, who can cause mountains to collapse and the earth to split at the drop of a hat, and a group of Konoha's elite ninjas. To be honest, it's much harder to solo Konoha than to solo Sunagakure. When it came to soloing Sunagakure, at least Itachi Uchiha was quite capable, and he was able to quickly take down the One-Tail and Seven-Tail while Pain was holding off Shiki.

But Konoha has the Nine-Tails! He released the Nine-Tails back then, and he knows exactly how ferocious it is. It won't be easy to deal with the Nine-Tails in a short time, especially since even the White Zetsu clones can't find its whereabouts yet.

Black Zetsu shared the same thoughts as Obito, and even had less hope for Nagato than Obito did.

Nagato previously raided Sunagakure, and now only Konoha is left with the Nine-Tails and Eight-Tails. Kumogakure is definitely on high alert, and the eyes of the entire ninja world are on Konoha and Kumogakure, just waiting for Nagato to lead his men in. In this situation, the best course of action is to temporarily avoid the limelight and proceed cautiously.

But now that Nagato is recklessly leading his team to raid Konoha, it's not impossible that they might run into Shiki again.

Everyone in the ninja world knows that Shiki is Tsunade's number one admirer. Now, they only have two targets. They're not considering Kumogakure, but given Shiki's relationship with Tsunade, it's not impossible that they'll come to join the defense.

Although Pain was able to restrain Shiki last time because the battle took place in Sunagakure, Black Zetsu, who had witnessed Shiki's one-on-one fight with Madara, knew very well how strong Shiki was. At that time, Shiki was somewhat restrained and did not go all out. However, if the battle were in Konoha, it would be different. When Shiki was unrestrained, Nagato would not be able to withstand a barrage of attacks from Shiki.

Golden Lion was the only person it couldn't understand after all these years of hiding, not even its strength. It was an ordinary old man who was usually crazy and unserious, and slovenly. Unlike Hashirama Senju and Madara, who were clearly extraordinary talents at first glance.

However, this ordinary old man was able to beat Madara to a pulp. Although Madara was barely alive, he was still several times more powerful than Sasuke Uchiha, who had now awakened the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan. If they had met Shiki on a different map, Black Zetsu thought Nagato would only have been killed.

Fortunately, Obito managed to persuade Sasuke Uchiha to come over, which is like buying insurance. If Nagato can't handle Konoha's Nine-Tails, then during the Five Kage Summit, when Konoha's top fighters are not around, Sasuke Uchiha can deal with Konoha and take care of the Nine-Tails. The current Nine-Tails is only half of the original one. If Sasuke Uchiha awakens the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan and still can't handle that half of the Nine-Tails...

Honestly, he suggested that Xiura should just create a new account; this one is basically useless...

Since successfully transplanting his powers and feeling the immense energy within his body, the second male lead has changed. He's become increasingly sassy, ​​with a poker face and an ever-growing aura of arrogance. He perfectly embodies the spirit of a vengeful figure. Furthermore, influenced by this powerful energy, his hatred for Konoha has intensified. His utterly hateful demeanor makes even the Six Paths' father, Black Zetsu, slap his thigh in exasperation.

These reincarnations of Asuras are all incredibly talented...

1134. Has verbal sparring actually become Konoha's weakness?

"I see...."

The second male lead, still wearing bandages around his eyes, sat up and stood up. He turned and walked outside. Feeling the explosive power emanating from him, he could no longer keep a low profile, nor did his strength allow him to.

This time, he's going to reclaim the glory that once belonged to the Uchiha clan.

wrong!

We must make the name Uchiha even more glorious than the era of Madara Uchiha!

He wanted the world to remember the name Uchiha Sasuke.

he!

Uchiha Sasuke is the darling of this era, the protagonist of the world!

he!

Uchiha Sasuke is the King of the World!

The atmosphere had built up to this point, and an overwhelming aura of dominance erupted from the second male lead in his pants, impossible to contain...

"He... like this, will there be any problems? (⊙_⊙)?"

Obito was completely bewildered, unable to understand why the kid had become like this just by changing his eyes. The intense chuunibyou aura emanating from him was truly astonishing.

He asked Black Zetsu uncertainly, "Could this be a side effect of the eye transplant?"

Luckily, I only have male buddies, not brothers...

"It should... be fine, right? Madara-sama was like that back then..."

Black Zetsu said uncertainly, unsure whether it was to boost Obito's confidence or for his own sake, while also forcibly dragging Madara into the mess...

Madara: You call me a chuunibyou?! (▼へ▼メ)

.......

At this time, Konoha was also grieving over Itachi Uchiha's death. Every household heard the cries of young women, and an atmosphere of sorrow permeated the village. Even the Fifth Hokage, Nawaki, who was beloved by everyone, couldn't console her. After all, her husband had died, so what could he do? Moreover, preparations for the Five Kage Summit had been made. News had been received that the Kazekage and Raikage had already departed for the Land of Iron. Konoha was not far from the Land of Iron, so there was still time to prepare.

Nawaki is becoming more and more like a leader. Anyone with a bit of political sense knows that this Five Kage Summit is not only about coming up with a plan to deal with the Akatsuki, but also about choosing a leader.

As the head of the largest village in the ninja world, Nawaki was naturally determined to become the leader. It wasn't for his own sake; he didn't care about himself. The main reason was that Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado, two old guys who were about to retire, kept nagging him. He was doing it for Konoha, for the Senju clan, and for his grandfather's reputation.

Konoha has experienced three world wars, and they were the ultimate winners all three times.

The Senju clan was once the most powerful clan in the ninja world, a force that completely dominated the Uchiha clan.

His grandfather, the First Hokage, dominated an entire era. Without Madara, who could rival him!

As the current leader of Konoha and the grandson of the "God of Shinobi," if he can't even be the leader of an alliance, wouldn't that be a disgrace to Konoha, the Senju clan, and even his own grandfather?

After a long, rambling monologue, even Rope Tree himself felt that if he weren't the ringleader, he'd have to swallow feces and commit suicide to apologize to his grandfather...

However, being the leader of this alliance is not an easy job.

He summoned Konoha's Grand Marshal, Nara, who had been reinstated, and the two of them secluded themselves in the Hokage Building for three days and three nights to study how to win the Five Kage Summit election.

However, as mentioned before, although Nara is smart, his physical abilities are simply not up to par. Among the people who went to the Land of Iron with Nawaki this time, only Sakumo and Tsunade are truly capable of speaking up. However, Sakumo never gets involved in these messy political struggles, and the Hatake clan's personality also determines that they are not good at verbal sparring.

Tsunade's fiery temper is fine for fighting, but she's not good at talking.

Nara Big Head's verbal skills are not bad, but unfortunately he has been idle for more than ten years and has no reputation in the ninja world. Even if he went there, he wouldn't have any say!

Then look at their opponents. Sunagakure alone has mobilized Ebizo, the Minister of Military Affairs, for decades. He may not have much of his fighting ability left, but his verbal skills are top-notch.

Despite his burly appearance, the Raikage of Kumogakure is a meticulous and tough man. Having been in charge for so many years, his verbal skills are naturally quite good, not to mention he has the help of the big-headed members of the Azabu clan.

Needless to say, Onoki from Iwagakure is a master strategist who can hold his own against the Third Hokage.

Kirigakure is relatively easy to deal with; given that Kirigakure has not yet recovered, the Mizukage is probably just there for show. The real contenders are the four great ninja villages.

Just thinking about it is incredibly tragic. Konoha has a long tradition of having the strongest verbal skills, but now, verbal prowess has become their weakness...

.....

However, at that moment, the air raid sirens of Konoha sounded, and the alarm bells blared.

Since the Sand Village was raided by the leader of the Akatsuki, Konoha and Kumogakure, now only having tailed beasts left, have laid down layers of defenses. In fact, after learning that the leader of the Akatsuki could fly, the air defense systems of the two villages have reached their limit.

When the suicidal Nagato and the wealthy Nan arrived with the Six Paths Puppet, the air raid sirens had already sounded before they even entered Konoha's airspace.

"All Jonin, assemble at the Hokage Building! The rest of you, evacuate the villagers! The Akatsuki are attacking!"

It's unclear how many times they've practiced this routine, but as soon as the alarm sounded, Nawaki and Nara immediately went to the high platform of the Hokage Building to notify the Anbu around them to call for reinforcements.

"Swish, swish, swish..."

Within three minutes, all Jonin and above in Konoha had gathered on the high platform of the Hokage Building, waiting for the leader to give the order.

"The Akatsuki Organization Has Arrived 1"

White Fang and Tsunade also approached Nawaki with solemn expressions, while simultaneously looking at the few small black dots that had appeared in the sky.

Although they had already obtained information about the leader of the Akatsuki organization and learned about the abilities of three or four of the puppets, they were still under immense pressure now that they had encountered them.

Especially White Fang, who is already at his peak, gets a headache whenever he sees a small black dot flying in the sky.

According to the plan, Tsunade was responsible for protecting Nawaki and clearing out the other puppets, while he was the main force to deal with the puppet leader who could control repulsive and gravitational forces.

In a land battle, he would naturally have no problem. With his positioning skills and his understanding of the core of these puppets' movements, dealing with them would be no challenge for him.

But damn it, the other side can fly twice!

He's been in the business for almost fifty years, and he's found that almost all his opponents can fly: Shiki, Onoki, the Third Kazekage, and now the leader of Akatsuki—they're all like they're cheating. Even though he's trained his explosive power and jumping ability, he can't jump that high...

1135. White Fang: These things are fucking cheating.

"The Akatsuki leader has launched an air raid on the village. All Jonin are dispatched to the village's outskirts to guard against other enemies. Here is information on the Six Paths Puppet; everyone, memorize it quickly."

"Golden Lion once suggested that we remove his Animal Path first, so that he could not use summoning jutsu. Although I don't know why, Lady Tsunade, I'll leave the Animal Path to you."

"The reason these puppets can fly is mainly because of the Heavenly Path Puppet that controls repulsion and gravity. Afterwards, the Heavenly Path Puppet will be handed over to Lord White Fang. Guy will take those skilled in taijutsu and swordsmanship to deal with the Preta Path. It can absorb ninjutsu and chakra, so ninjutsu is ineffective against it, but taijutsu and swordsmanship will work. Remember, their weakness is the black rods on their bodies. As long as the black rods are exposed, these puppets will be destroyed..."

Once all the Jonin had arrived, Nara Shikaku distributed the documents he was holding to them while speaking.

This information came from the Sand Village last time, and after much research by Nara Shikaku, a plan was developed to deal with these Six Paths puppets. Although it wasn't very detailed yet, since the so-called Animal Path was only known to use summoning techniques, it was unclear what it could summon. After all, the two Animal Paths were instantly killed at the start of the Sand Village operation, so he didn't have a detailed plan for dealing with the Animal Path. However, in the information sent by the Sand Village last time, Shiki specifically emphasized that it was best to kill the Animal Path at the start and not give it a chance to use summoning techniques. He guessed that Shiki suspected that the Animal Path's summoning techniques were quite troublesome, and with the attitude of "better safe than sorry," he suggested that Tsunade focus on keeping a close eye on the Animal Path at the start.

After all, preventing the opponent from using ninjutsu is very difficult. In the entire Konoha, only Lord White Fang and the former Fourth Hokage were confident in this. However, the Fourth Hokage is now dead, and Lord White Fang has to deal with the flying Deva Puppet. This task can only be entrusted to Tsunade, who has the highest combat power.

"Hmm? It seems Konoha has already obtained information about the Six Paths Puppet from Sunagakure, but even if they knew, it wouldn't make a difference..."

Nagato, who was hiding in the shadows with his buddies, frowned slightly at the scale of Konoha's defenses and their rapid reaction. His Six Paths puppets were still at least several kilometers away from Konoha, and the air raid sirens were already sounding—wasn't that a bit over the top?

Before setting off, he knew that Konoha and Kumogakure would definitely strengthen their defenses. After all, he had previously stormed Sunagakure and taken the One-Tailed and Seven-Tailed Beasts, leaving only Konoha's Nine-Tailed Beast and Kumogakure's Eight-Tailed Beast. It was impossible for the two villages not to strengthen their defenses. However, he did not expect Konoha to be so vigilant. Where had he gotten to? He had only just entered Konoha's airspace and was still several kilometers away from the center of Konoha. This was too much!

"Nagato, there's still no news from Kisame and Tobi. Could something have happened to them? Maybe we should reconsider."

"I'm so worried," said the rich guy Nan to his friend.

She has been trying to contact Kisame and Tobi since last night, but they are still not responding. She doesn't know if something happened to them. Without their help, it would be difficult to take the Nine-Tails back from Konoha, especially since her companions' vitality is getting weaker and weaker.

"...Ignore them. Konoha doesn't have Shiki, and Sakumo can't stop Pain. Besides, I'm here."

Since arriving in Konoha, Nagato had been restless. Perhaps it was because this was the headquarters of the Konoha ninja who had killed his parents. Every time he stepped into Konoha territory, the images of his parents kept flashing through his mind. He wanted nothing more than to rush in and raze the entire village to avenge them. He had no time to consider whether Kisame and Tobi would come or not. In his battle plan, Kisame and Tobi were both just supporting characters. Kisame was alright, as he was quite capable in combat. As for Tobi, besides being somewhat useful for gathering information, he was basically just a background character...

So now that the die is cast, whether Kisame and Tobi come or not doesn't affect him too much, since he'll be the main force no matter what.

......

"Shinra Tensei...!"

"Boom boom boom!"
