Naruto: The Information Broker from the Uchiha Clan

And all this time, he's always taking Juzo or Sasori out for strolls, the Akatsuki organization has almost become a temporary residence, they come back to stay whenever they remember...

If Nagato could go back to that day a few years ago, he would definitely give me a good beating. Akatsuki absolutely cannot take in someone like that! No matter how strong he is!

"Uzumaki Sora... Do you know that the Land of Fire is a place that means exposure for us right now?"

He shrugged and said, "The leader possesses the eyes of the legendary Sage of Six Paths, a being akin to a god. Would he be afraid of Konoha?"

Upon hearing this, Payne was momentarily speechless.

On the left ring finger of the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path, Juzo Biwa secretly spat. Although it was outrageous, it was indeed well-executed.

At this moment, Kong Jiantiandao did not reply. He looked around and said, "Is it just us at this gathering? Are the other groups all dead?"

Nagato's eyes twitched slightly on the tower; he could roughly guess what "cool" meant.

The person on the right thumb replied, "Because no other group is running around like you; they are all still on missions."

Before Uzumaki Sora could say anything more, Pain immediately continued, "Six days ago, a piece of information from Konoha was circulating wildly on the black market: the Third Raikage of Kumogakure was resurrected, but was killed by Uchiha Kumo in Konoha!"

Kill?

This news is a bit outrageous.

The Heavenly Dao continued, "Although it is unknown whether the resurrected Third Raikage is at his peak strength, information from the black market indicates that he is at his peak."

"After killing the Fourth and Third Raikage in succession, Uchiha Yun's name now resounds throughout the entire ninja world. With such power, Akatsuki, which is not yet ready, cannot be exposed to Konoha's sight."

Uh!

The Third Raikage at his peak? He prepared the One-Hit Mangekyou technique, but he didn't use it.

However, this news couldn't be kept secret, since many people knew about the battle that took place at the gates of Konoha that night.

Spies are something that every village uses, such as Danzo of Konoha and Onoki of Iwagakure.

Ohnoki?

Could this old man be behind this? Is he trying to keep provoking Kumogakure and increase the other four great ninja villages' fear of Konoha?

Holy crap! It really does sound like something that old geezer would do.

"However, since you are now in the Land of Fire, there is a task here that we can handle."

After a moment's thought, Pain looked at Sora and Juzo Biwa: "For this mission, the marks on your bodies need to be removed. Wait... when Juzo Biwa returns, this mission will be carried out by Sora Uzumaki alone."

These words made Juzo frown and ask, "Why?"

Pain replied in a deep voice, "The mission was issued by Iwagakure. The target is Uchiha Kumo, to test the extent of his power. Do you want to go on this mission?"

Uchiha?

At that moment, the image of Sora's eyes flashed through Pipa Juzo's mind.

but……

Just as he was about to say something, Kong spoke up from the side: "Okay, but you had to call one of the two-person teams back for me, so you have to give me another one, right?"

Payne looked over instantly, his deep voice ringing out: "Who do you want?"

Kong smiled nonchalantly: "Everyone's gone to do missions, there's no one else here. How's Xiao Nan?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Pain remained expressionless, but through the powerful chakra erupting from his body, Sora could tell what kind of emotions Nagato was experiencing in the tower.

Uzumaki Sora's appearance is based on Yahiko, and apart from her red hair, there are only a few details that are different.

That's precisely why Nagato was so furious.

"agree."

???

Inside the tower, Nagato looked at Konan with a puzzled expression.

Konan calmly said, "I agree to his request. I can go to Konoha with his team."

Nagato asked in a deep voice, "There's no need for that..."

Xiao Nan shook her head slightly: "Although in our opinion, the information he revealed last time was not credible, but... I want to test him again."

After he finished speaking, the two fell silent for a moment.

After Yahiko's death, Nagato's will became Konan's will.

From their childhood days as wanderers, the will of the two friends has been Minami's will. This has never changed.

but……

Unlike Nagato, who always proclaims himself a god, the information that Uzumaki Sora revealed last time has been replaying in her mind for a long time.

Jiraiya's words about Paper Release, and his understanding of the information about each member when he first joined the organization.

These things... cannot be faked.

The information about the Rinnegan was even more unsettling for Konan.

The Eye of the Immortal, the Uzumaki Clan...

The revelation of this information has already begun to make Xiao Nan increasingly suspicious.

In fact, she never believed that the masked man was really Uchiha Madara.

According to historical records, among the two great heroes of the Warring States period, Madara Uchiha and Hashirama Senju had completely opposite personalities.

As for Tobi, who was already an intern at Akatsuki, his personality might be similar to Hashirama Senju, but he would definitely not be the Uchiha Madara described in the documents as being cold and powerful.

"He... is not Yahiko."

As soon as Nagato finished speaking, he regretted it.

Konan, standing to the side, smiled and replied, "He is Uzumaki Sora, never Yahiko. Neither in will nor in personality."

"To create a peaceful world, war will only disappear when everyone in the world feels pain and experiences that heart-wrenching pain."

"This is Nagato's will, and it is also my will. And information about Uzumaki Sora, as well as his own objectives, is very important to us!"

……

Chapter 168: Digging into the Corner of the Wall with Soil

The fact that Uzumaki Sora joined Akatsuki might make Nagato regret his decision each time, given his personality.

But when he thought of his combat prowess, and the name of Uchiha Kumo, which was gradually becoming known among ninjas in Konoha, he had no choice but to accept it reluctantly.

Nagato initially did not intend to accept the mission issued by Iwagakure.

Onoki was wary of Konoha's growing power, and Nagato was equally worried.

However, if it was Uzumaki Sora who carried out the mission, then that would be a different story.

Nagato wanted to know the extent of his power, which included Wood Release, his special Sharingan, and the Fourth Hokage's Flying Thunder God Technique.

Therefore, it was most appropriate to use Uzumaki Sora to test Uchiha Kumo.

But Nagato was clearly worried about letting Konan go with him.

Of the entire Akatsuki organization, perhaps only Konan was truly Nagato's ally.

"Don't fight with Uchiha Kumo during his probing. If Uzumaki Sora is defeated, don't worry about him. I'll have Tobi follow behind you."

"In case of danger, prioritize your own safety."

Konan was taken aback: "Tobi? That guy who calls himself Uchiha Madara... he's never been on the same page as us."

Nagato nodded: "Yes, but he's paying even more attention to Uzumaki Sora than you or I. This mission isn't just about testing Konoha's Uchiha Kumo, it's also about testing Uzumaki Sora's power..."

“Uchiha Madara… or Tobi… he wouldn’t refuse.”

"Moreover, with the power of his Mangekyou Sharingan, it would be easy for him to take you away if there were any dangers. He still needs us, and that alone will guarantee your safety."

After she finished speaking, Xiao Nan finally nodded.

So, is it still for your own safety?

It still feels the same as it did back then...

It is this feeling that makes Nagato's will become his own, right?

Regardless of right or wrong!

……

Pain, who had been silent for a while, finally spoke up, saying, "Konan can team up with you."

"But her strength is not enough to test Uchiha Kumo, and I believe you understand that."

These words made Uzumaki Sora smile indifferently: "No problem, I'll take care of the testing mission. After all, Juzo's power is just so-so."

Juzo, who was standing nearby, looked over with a resentful expression in his eyes.

After a pause, Payne asked, "Since the combat strength is not much different and neither is of much use, you can complete the mission by yourself, right?"

Uzumaki Sora smiled and shook his head: "It's not the same at all. Having a beautiful woman by your side is a completely different experience from having a bandaged man like Juzo, okay?"

Payne paused, then looked straight into the sky: "God's gaze is always on you. There are some things you should not touch."

"Wait at the border between the Land of Fire and the Land of Rain. Konan will go there to meet you."

As soon as he finished speaking, the illusionary body technique ended.

Meanwhile, Kong, who had just opened his eyes, stretched and loosened his muscles before thinking about Payne's last look.

Heh... It seems this guy misunderstood.

Nagato's only useful powers were the Rinnegan and the Uzumaki bloodline.

And now...

Once Ashura's chakra is obtained, the Rinnegan will naturally begin to develop. As for the Uzumaki bloodline, it was already obtained through a deal with Kushina.

For Nagato now, the benefits of trading are actually not that great anymore.

As for asking Xiao Nan to join the team, the main reason was to undermine her completely, while the secondary reason was a bit of a wicked joke about Xiao Nan.

After all, as Konan was known as the richest woman in Naruto in my memory, I still wanted to see if I could change her fate.

As Sora was pondering something, she suddenly felt a cold gaze coming from beside her.
