Naruto: The Information Broker from the Uchiha Clan

"So... after I left, you went through a lot of things, right? And they were related to Yahiko's death?"

Pain shook his head slightly and stepped forward from the Asura Path and Preta Path in front of him.

"Hand over the jinchūriki of the Eight-Tails and the Nine-Tails, or you will continue to face the wrath of the gods!"

Jiraiya frowned deeply: "The teacher naturally bears responsibility for the disciple's mistakes. Nagato, you are wrong!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the surviving ninjas surrounded him again.

……

at the same time.

Behind Shikaku, Jiraiya, who had two toads perched on his shoulders, let go of his hands.

"finished."

As soon as he finished speaking, his mask changed into a toad shape, but a special power was contained within his body.

Sage Mode!

"Ok?"

Jiraiya turned to look into the distance, his brows furrowing even more deeply.

"I've found his true form. But... Orochimaru has arrived too."

These words stunned Shikaku.

Orochimaru?

The Konoha rogue ninja who caused the death of the Third Hokage has returned to Konoha at this critical moment.

In this situation, even a fool could figure out what the other party's intentions were.

That guy who wants to destroy Konoha is definitely not here to help!

"call……"

After exhaling, Jiraiya looked at Shikaku: "I will deal with Nagato's main body. My shadow clones will hold off those six puppets for a while, but after that, it's up to you."

Lu Jiu nodded, his inner pressure increasing dramatically. He couldn't think of any other bargaining chips to further strengthen his fighting power.

In fact, being able to hold off these six puppets was already his greatest effort.

……

The outer edge of the leaves, in a shady spot.

"Hiss..."

Orochimaru looked at the masked Obito: "So, what you want me to see is the complete destruction of all the buildings in Konoha?"

Obito shook his head slightly: "I'm just interested in techniques that can revive the dead. Besides, isn't destroying Konoha also your goal?"

Orochimaru looked at Konoha, which had become a crater in the distance, and those distant memories flashed through his mind.

"The old man is dead, and destroying Konoha like this is no longer of my interest."

After saying that, Orochimaru turned around and prepared to leave.

However, Obito with the mask spoke up: "After witnessing Itachi's power, you should have tried to get your hands on Sasuke, right? He also has the Mangekyou Sharingan, and he's Itachi's younger brother, so you made a move against him..."

Orochimaru turned around: "What do you want to say?!"

Obito shrugged: "You didn't succeed because of that person's existence; you couldn't get Sasuke Uchiha. So... you were almost killed too, right?"

……

Chapter 417: Sage Mode

Killed...

The power the opponent displayed at that time...

Orochimaru stuck out his tongue and licked his lips.

Both men's bones extend from their bodies, but the other man's methods made him feel the danger of annihilation.

That extended portion of matter contained power surpassing bloodline elimination, ignoring all defenses, and annihilating anything it touched.

Facing such an enemy, being killed is only to be expected...

Since he wasn't pierced, Orochimaru himself wasn't sure whether the cursed seal he placed on Anko's neck could revive him.

But what good would it do to be resurrected?

In a sense, he had already achieved immortality. But with that person's power, even if he had a backup plan to resurrect, he would only be killed again.

"Shh!"

The green chakra scalpel sliced ​​through, but instead pierced directly through Obito's body.

Obito looked at Kabuto, who had stood up and adjusted his glasses: "If there's a next time, you'll die."

His words were utterly calm, yet they already conveyed a clear intent to kill.

Kabuto, however, paid no attention, dispelled his chakra scalpel, and stood respectfully behind Orochimaru.

From a very long time ago, the meaning of his life has only been Orochimaru, so no one can say such a thing without feeling guilty.

"pocket……"

"Lord Orochimaru."

"Did you bring all the materials?"

Three.

Orochimaru nodded, then looked at Obito: "That was indeed the first time I wasn't confident I could avoid death. He was very powerful, and he must have had some connection with the Uchiha clan."

At this point, Orochimaru looked into the distance, towards the direction where Sasuke's Susanoo had just appeared.

"The Sharingan... As members of the Uchiha clan, the power derived from their bloodline allows them to be called geniuses. This kind of body is what I yearn for."

Orochimaru turned his neck ninety degrees to look at Obito: "But you should know very well... if you attack Uchiha Sasuke, there is a very high chance that person will appear."

"If that person were to appear here, then whether it's you, the leader of Akatsuki, or the entire Akatsuki organization, in the end, you would all be easily wiped out by that person."

After he finished speaking, Obito remained silent for a while.

Orochimaru was right. If that person appears, then all our efforts will be in vain.

Before the night of the massacre, I thought the strongest person in this world was probably no more than Madara Uchiha.

But the appearance of that guy gave his understanding of strength a new level, which should be said to have surpassed the upper limit of a ninja.

Perhaps only by allowing the Ten-Tails to absorb the nine tailed beasts and become its jinchūriki, thus obtaining the power of the Ascension Sage recorded on the stone tablet, can it be able to fight against it.

Orochimaru was also wary of that person...

During the Chunin Exams, he said he would come to find me but nothing came of it. Perhaps only after obtaining Sasuke's body and using the Edo Tensei technique could I have the qualifications to fight him.

"He won't show up..."

Obito's voice rang out: "Or rather, he probably won't appear anytime soon."

The conversation between that person and Black Zetsu contained many unclear details.

Besides the fact that the Infinite Tsukuyomi is a conspiracy, Black Zetsu is not the manifestation of Madara Uchiha's will; that guy was just a pawn.

Furthermore... it can be discerned that the target has always been Black Zetsu, and Black Zetsu, as if knowing that person was looking for it, has been hiding itself all along.

At that time, it must have been because he was being watched that Black Zetsu was discovered.

If the other side was willing to wait so long to capture Black Zetsu, then Black Zetsu must be very important to them.

Therefore, it's highly likely that person won't show up.

Having received a reply, Orochimaru licked his lips.

He didn't ask about the details, because if that person showed up, the other party's goal would inevitably fail.

There's no need to talk nonsense...

"Is that so? Then... I agree."

……

The center of the battlefield.

The Six Paths of Pain, having regrouped, coldly observed the Konoha ninjas surrounding them.

Slugs fell one by one, clearly indicating that the previous Super Shinra Tensei had done its best to protect these people.

Rockets shot out in all directions, and a fire-style ninjutsu erupted. The Preta Path had just reached out its hand when it was kicked away by the oncoming Might Guy.

Just as the animal was about to communicate with the spirit, a shadow darted out and connected with it, rendering its hand seals immobile.

Nara Shikaku's voice appeared in his mind: "Everyone, make your move. The force of that burst just now gave the opponent more time to recover."

No sooner had he finished speaking than Kakashi, wielding the Lightning Blade, charged straight at Pain.

The path of the human realm and the path of hell blocked their way, but they were stopped by two members of the secret service the next moment.

"Do you... want to offend God?"

Pain remained expressionless, unleashing a repulsive force at the last moment.

"boom!!!"

Kakashi was thrown back, leaving a hook mark on the ground before finally coming to a stop.

Four seconds, three seconds...

The Fourth Raikage followed closely behind, his hand blade striking out like lightning.

Two seconds...

"boom!"

Two arms held up the Fourth Raikage, but the mechanical arm was still severed.

"Om..."

The top of Asura's head cracked open, and blue lasers began to converge.
