Naruto: The Information Broker from the Uchiha Clan

Lu Jiu, who was standing to the side, also began to tell Yun about the discussion the three of them had just had.

As soon as Yun opened the scroll and took a look, he knew what was going on.

Sometimes, no matter how well you plan, you can't escape the changes of fate.

His very existence changed the fate of Konoha from the very beginning. The fact that Minato did not die on the day Naruto was born has already created a chain reaction that is impacting the entire world.

The intelligence advantage still exists, but it's no longer possible to have everything under control.

Amegakure will inevitably be exposed, but it's still a bit too early for now.

Hagoromo, who had been spying all along; Kaguya, who was sealed away; his own Rinnegan and Tenseigan, which were still developing; the chakra of the nine tailed beasts...

None of this was prepared for, but an accident has already occurred.

After frowning, Yun placed the scroll in her hand on the table.

He then looked at the three of them and asked, "A remnant of the previous Akatsuki. I remember in the information Jiraiya went to investigate last time, this Nagato was his disciple."

"So... whether the current Akatsuki was truly founded by him, we can't be sure based solely on this mission report."

Minato replied, "But the odds are already very high. Such a coincidence is definitely not a coincidence. Furthermore, the destruction of the Root by Uzumaki Sora may also have been intended to destroy this mission report."

Shikaku nodded in agreement: "And we need to prepare for the worst from the start. If the power of the Rinnegan surpasses that of Uzumaki Sora, then we will have to compensate for our lack of top-tier combat power with human lives."

Yun thought for a moment and replied, "The buffer time for recovering one's own state is indeed one day. In addition, after the Death Gate opens, there might still be some time to kill Vortex Kuuga, the time spent in the Death Gate state. This point is perhaps worth considering."

Lu Jiu shook his head slightly: "During the battle at the Sea of ​​Ending, you did retain some of the Death Gate state. But we can't afford to gamble on that."

Then Shikaku looked at everyone and explained, "If we want to make use of the time left over from the Death Gate state, then Nagato needs to be confined to the vicinity of the battlefield between the Cloud and the Vortex at the very beginning of the battle..."

"So if the cloud in the dead state can't take down two in a row, then stalling for time will become pointless."

At this point, Shikaku looked at Minato: "Of course. Whether to gamble or not is up to the Hokage to decide."

As soon as he finished speaking, Minato hesitated for a moment as well.

To gamble or not to gamble?

Jade against jade, general against general.

In this situation, the decisive battle might begin right from the start.

"call……"

After exhaling, Minato looked at the others and said, "We didn't expect that the power of the Rinnegan would belong to the leader of Akatsuki. This information came at the right time, but it was also very sudden."

"The Five Kage Summit is about to begin. Perhaps we also need time to reconsider what we need to do to win this war."

Jiraiya, who was opposite him, stepped forward and said in a low voice, "Perhaps I can go there to obtain information about the Rinnegan's abilities."

Before he could finish speaking, Minato immediately objected, "Master can't go. It's pointless now. If the power of the Rinnegan is greater than that of Uzumaki Sora, there's no point in Master going."

Shikaku agreed: "Although it's highly likely that's the case, even if it's just a test, Yun Qu, who has the Flying Thunder God Technique and great power, would be more suitable than you."

"Another point we must consider is that Uzumaki Sora of the Akatsuki is the enemy we know the most about. His intelligence capabilities are almost like predicting the future."

"The fact that Amegakure is Akatsuki's headquarters is something they probably already know. In that case, testing them would just be suicide."

As Lu Jiu's voice faded, the conference hall fell silent once again.

Their fear of the Rinnegan stemmed from their understanding of Uzumaki Sora.

An organization composed of a large number of S-rank rogue ninjas, and with powerful figures like Uzumaki Sora, must have a leader who is certainly not weak.

……

After a long silence, Minato said in a deep voice, "There's no need to probe further in order to prevent Uzumaki Sora from gaining intelligence."

"Regardless of whether Nagato rebuilt Akatsuki after that incident, we still need information and power regarding the Rinnegan."

"I will explain this matter at the subsequent Five Kage Summit, using the combined forces of the five great ninja villages to coerce Amegakure!"

"If Nagato is not the leader of Akatsuki, then Amegakure also needs to join this alliance. If he is, then launch a surprise attack!"

……

Meanwhile, in Amegakure Village.

"puff."

The fishing hook was cast into the water, and Pipa Juzo scratched his head impatiently: "We've been lying low for so long, why haven't we started making a move yet?"

Uzumaki Sora, who was standing next to him, paused for a moment, then stood up and waved his hand: "Let's go, we have something to do."

???

Juzo Biwa was stunned for a moment, then threw his fishing rod into the pond. After chasing after him, he hurriedly asked, "What happened? Pain hasn't informed us yet!"

Whirlpool stopped in its tracks.

Turning to Juzo Biwa, he smiled and said, "Your connection with Kirigakure is severed from this moment on. If it resumes, before the intelligence is sent out... you will die!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Uzumaki Sora headed back towards the tower in Amegakure.

Behind him, Pipa Juzo was already covered in sweat.

He could just feel... feel the killing intent that would kill him in the next second.

"Goo!"

After swallowing hard, Pipa Juzo followed.

As expected, nothing could fool this man; even though they were very careful, it was all in vain.

Upon entering the tower, Uzumaki Sora handed the loquat Juzo to Konan to take away, and then entered the room where Nagato was.

On the balcony, on the protruding tip of the tongue, Nagato sat.

Sensing the vortex entering, Nagato said, "In the past, I would always sit here using the perception of the Heavenly Dao, looking down from above, which gave me some bad feelings."

"Now that I've recovered, the illusion that I was in control of everything has also disappeared."

Nagato turned and walked over, saying, "Even if you hadn't come, I would have sent Konan to find you. Obito, Zetsu, and Orochimaru have disappeared."

Nagato's words startled Uzumaki Kuroko, but she showed no outward reaction.

He immediately followed up with, "Orochimaru is someone who is born to never submit; even Akatsuki is just a platform for him."

"As for Zetsu and Obito, once they realize that the Akatsuki can no longer be used as tools, they will inevitably go into hiding."

Nagato asked, "According to you... Obito and Orochimaru weren't together?"

Sora shook his head: "No. They have reached a preliminary cooperation agreement, but they will not have the same goal. I took you to the Land of Iron before, and the Impure World Reincarnation technique was Orochimaru's improved masterpiece."

Sora then looked at Nagato and said, "We can put their matter aside for now. After all, with White Zetsu around, finding them will be quite difficult."

"And the reason I've come here is to tell you: Konoha has already discovered your presence."

Nagato was stunned.

Did you discover your own existence?

"Is it because of Pain?"

Sora shook his head slightly: "No, those five bodies only met Jiraiya once, so it's not easy to remember them under these circumstances. And even if they did remember, they would only have suspicions and wouldn't think of the Akatsuki organization."

"It's a mission report from Root. Danzo, in conjunction with Hanzo of the Salamander, destroyed the previous Akatsuki. Root has a record of this. This report has now been deciphered by the higher-ups in Konoha."

"The appearance of the word 'Xiao' has stirred their nerves. They're even preparing to take action."

Nagato's hands clenched into fists.

After a long pause, he said in a deep voice, "So what about us? What's your decision?"

Yun shook her head slightly and looked out the window: "The previous generation of Akatsuki, under Yahiko's leadership, dedicated themselves to bringing peace to the Land of Rain. Perhaps this is also your thought now."

I'll give you two choices.

"First: Abandon Amegakure, and let the Akatsuki, like Obito and his group, remain hidden in the shadows, continuing to lie low and wait for an opportunity."

"If we do that, the ordinary ninjas of Amegakure will inevitably have to give up. But the ordinary people, in a peaceful environment, along with my main body, will not face any major problems."

"Second: The final plan will begin. From today onward, you, me, and the entire Akatsuki will become the dark side of the entire ninja world."

After speaking, Nagato fell into deep thought.

Meanwhile, Kong, standing to the side, was also contemplating the situation ahead.

Although the plan was already decided when Biwa Juzo was brought here, Nagato's probing was still necessary.

Whether Nagato, who constantly proclaims himself a god, still has light within him remains to be seen.

They become the shadow of the entire ninja world to promote peace, but they also need a glimmer of light in their hearts!

……

Chapter 269: Xiao Nan's Tears

The light from Uzumaki Sora is the real body, but what will the light from Nagato be?

Perhaps... it's the will left behind by Yahiko?

Since their last conversation, Sora had already guessed that Nagato was thinking about dying in the end.

He was too tired...

Since Yahiko's death, the will to peace has been the sole meaning of his life.

When you shatter your original will, when your self-proclaimed godhood and adolescent delusions are shattered, when you feel the hatred of being manipulated like a clown...

Just like in the original story, after entrusting the will of peace to Naruto, he resolutely used the Rinne Rebirth Technique...

As for why Yahiko wasn't resurrected, Sora didn't know either.

……

After a long silence, Nagato raised his head slightly: "Let's begin. Since Amegakure will eventually be destroyed, let's disband all the ninja and use this action to attract the attention of the five great ninja villages."

"Final peace is coming, and they should not die in these final moments."

As soon as he finished speaking, Kong smiled and nodded.

"Then... let's start the meeting."
