Naruto: Naruto Hosted by the System

Jiraiya nodded: "That's right, Konan was my former apprentice, and her paper manipulation technique matches my impression of her."

Still clinging to a sliver of hope, Jiraiya asked Naruto, "Naruto, what's your source of information? Is it accurate?"

"The source is former members of the Akatsuki organization. Some of them defected to my side, and there's also Itachi Uchiha, who was an undercover agent."

"Huh? Itachi Uchiha is an undercover agent?" Kakashi was a little annoyed.

If he was an undercover agent, why were you so harsh last time? He was hospitalized for several days...

A strange light flashed in Sasuke's eyes, then he said coldly, "I don't care about the others, but I must deal with Uchiha Itachi myself."

"Don't worry, since he's an undercover agent, he might not even lift a finger when we attack Akatsuki in a few days." Naruto shrugged.

Sasuke snorted, which was taken as agreement with Naruto's statement.

Shikamaru, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly interrupted and asked, "Naruto, what are your plans for tactics? Are you going to declare war on the Land of Rain and send troops to attack them?"

Naruto shook his head: "No, I can manage on my own."

"That's too risky," Kakashi immediately tried to stop him.

Naruto remained silent, but instead conjured a Truth-Seeking Ball for everyone to see.

"what is this?"

Everyone looked at the small black ball with curiosity.

It looks so ordinary, but you can sense an extremely terrifying power within it.

Naruto said calmly, "Truth-Seeking Balls, Six Paths level power."

"The Six Paths?!"

Everyone stared at Naruto in disbelief.

"Naruto, the Six Paths you mentioned... is it the legendary Sage of Six Paths?"

Naruto nodded.

Jiraiya and Kakashi were both somewhat moved: the students they had once taught had grown to such an extent.

Sasuke pursed his lips, lost in thought.

"But the opponent also has the Sage's Eye, isn't this too risky?" Kakashi was still worried.

"Don't worry, I have the Flying Thunder God Technique. Even if I can't win, I can just teleport back," Naruto reassured him.

“At the very least, you should let us go with you,” Kakashi said seriously.

Naruto couldn't persuade them otherwise, so he had to agree.

Actually, he wasn't too worried. After all, since the Akatsuki was still collecting tailed beasts and wanted to revive the Ten-Tails as their ultimate weapon, it meant that Pain's strength hadn't yet reached the point where he could suppress the entire ninja world.

"Then it's decided. A few of us will set off for the Land of Rain."

Objective: Completely destroy the Akatsuki organization!

......

In the land of rain, inside an underground cave.

A girl with blue hair, dressed in a black robe with red clouds, slowly walked into the depths of the cave and said with a grim expression, "Nagato, the Akatsuki has lost two more members."

Opposite him, a gaunt, red-haired man sat in a specially made wheelchair with tubes inserted into his back.

"What immortal duo? In the end, they were still killed." His tone was full of disdain.

"Konan, who are the remaining members of the Akatsuki?"

The blue-haired girl named "Konan" hesitated for a moment before answering, "Besides the two of us, there's also Uchiha Madara, Zetsu, Kisame Hoshigaki, and Uchiha Itachi."

Are there only six people left?

"...That's right."

Nagato took a deep breath, his expression clearly unhappy.

"Where's Madara Uchiha? Isn't he known as the Asura of the Shinobi World? Then let him go and bring back the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki!"

"Regarding this... Some time ago, Madara Uchiha infiltrated Konoha alone, but failed to bring back the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki. Moreover, according to Zetsu, he was seriously injured and needs to recuperate."

Hearing this, Nagato became even angrier, her eyes seeming to spit fire.

"Who told him to act on his own! And he failed! What a useless piece of trash!"

He couldn't help but think back to the very beginning, when Sasori and Deidara betrayed the Akatsuki.

If I remember correctly, the two of them came into contact with the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, and as a result, they chose to betray the Akatsuki organization.

Unfortunately, the Akatsuki organization is currently unable to spare the manpower to deal with the traitor, just like Orochimaru was before.

Now, the Akatsuki organization has only six members left. Among them, Madara Uchiha and Zetsu clearly have other plans, while Itachi Uchiha and Kisame Hoshigaki had previously lost to the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki.

Is this Nine-Tails Jinchuriki really that powerful? Either we recruit members from the Akatsuki, or we eliminate them.

"That's enough." Nagato's voice was icy.

"I will personally go and capture the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki."

"Let the power of God become a dark cloud hanging over the heads of mankind!"

Chapter 111 Why did all the Akatsuki members go to Naruto's place?

The Land of Rain, as its name suggests, is perpetually shrouded in rain and shrouded in dark clouds, creating a somber atmosphere.

Naruto and his companions were all at least Kage-level shinobi, so they traveled at a fast pace and soon entered the urban area of ​​the Land of Rain.

"Stop." As soon as they entered, Naruto stopped the group from continuing forward.

"What's wrong, Naruto?" Jiraiya was a little anxious. He wanted to see the Akatsuki organization immediately to see how his three former students were doing and why they had become like this.

Naruto stretched out his hand, his brows slightly furrowed.

"There is chakra in this rain."

"You mean..."

"That's right, it's a sensory ninjutsu that allows enemies to sense whether there are any unfamiliar invaders in the Land of Rain."

"What! Does that mean we've already been discovered?"

Naruto nodded expressionlessly.

"Should we withdraw from the Land of Rain first and then make further plans?"

Naruto shook his head: "It's too late. Several Kage-level chakra beings are approaching."

"However, we should still retreat some of our troops first."

Following Naruto's instructions, the group arrived at a deserted, open area on the outskirts of the Land of Rain and waited.

"Naruto, what tactics should we use next?" Kakashi asked, glancing around warily, preparing for battle.

"Tactics... the tactics are that you don't have to do anything, just leave it to me." Naruto shrugged.

"How can that be? We can fight too, Naruto, you don't need to worry too much about our safety."

Naruto scratched his head, looking somewhat helpless.

To be honest, he simply wanted to use this opportunity to improve his compatibility with the tailed beast chakra, and advance the second part of the ritual.

"Don't worry, they're just some low-level Kage-level thugs," Naruto reassured him.

Kakashi remained silent: Are all Kage-level characters just small fry in your eyes?

The group didn't exchange any more words, as the enemy's figure had already come into view.

The one leading them was a woman with blue hair.

When Jiraiya saw it, his eyes widened in disbelief, and he took a deep breath.

"Xiao Nan...it really is you guys..."

The blue-haired woman paused for a moment, then said coldly, "It's been a long time, Jiraiya-sensei."

Jiraiya stepped forward and asked in a deep voice, "How are Nagato and Yahiko? And who exactly is Pain?"

“This is none of your business, Jiraiya-sensei.” Konan did not answer his question.

"My orders are to kill you invaders."

Behind her, two figures slowly emerged.

One person has shark-like features on their face, and the other has scarlet Mangekyou Sharingan eyes.

It was Kisame Hoshigaki and Itachi Uchiha.

"Leave Uchiha Sasuke to me; I'm going to take his eyes."

After saying this, Itachi Uchiha didn't wait for Konan's response. He made a provocative gesture towards Sasuke and then ran off in another direction.

Upon seeing this, Sasuke naturally showed a hateful expression and chased after him, which Kakashi couldn't stop even if he wanted to.

"Let him be," Naruto said expressionlessly.

Then there's Kisame Hoshigaki.

He stepped forward and stood between the two sides.

Kakashi and Jiraiya became alert upon seeing this.

However, Kisame Hoshigaki did not seem to intend to attack them. Instead, he turned around and assumed a fighting stance towards Konan.

"What do you mean by this?" Xiao Nan frowned slightly, realizing that the situation was becoming increasingly unfavorable.

Kisame Hoshigaki grinned: "I joined Akatsuki because I was tired of the endless betrayals and battles, and I wanted to pursue the new world that they talked about."

"But recently I've discovered that person's imagination is really lacking. It's supposed to be a world of illusions, but it doesn't feel as wonderful as Konoha in reality."

"Therefore, rather than the Akatsuki organization, I would rather serve Mr. Naruto and help him create the world he envisions."

Xiao Nan remained silent for a moment after hearing this, a look of confusion appearing in her eyes.

Why? Why did all the Akatsuki members go to Naruto's side? Does he really have that much personal charisma?

Kakashi and Jiraiya remained wary of Kisame Hoshigaki, preventing him from getting close. "What tricks are you trying to pull?"
