Naruto, your uncle is going to be Hokage!

"Then you plan to..."

Confusion appeared in Xiao Nan's eyes.

"Experimental field!"

Pain looked down upon the kingdom shrouded in rain.

"Konoha has developed ten experimental fields for growing a new type of rice within the Land of Fire. That's my target."

Experimental field?

Xiao Nan pondered.

Having apparently heard about this, the experimental fields in Konoha are nearing harvest time.

Countless grain merchants in the ninja world are paying close attention to that place.

"Destroying the experimental fields and transporting the rice back to the Land of Rain will prove the power of the gods to the ninja world and will also be a judgment on Konoha."

Pain's purple eyes, like ripples, seemed to look down on everything.

It seems we've already seen it.

The arrival of Judgment Day.

……

Northern Fire Country.

No. 3 hybrid rice experimental field.

A grand ribbon-cutting ceremony is underway.

Reporters from major television stations, carrying cameras, looked excited as they aimed at the golden, heavy waves of rice.

"Viewers in front of your televisions, citizens of the Land of Fire, did you see that? This is a scene that will be recorded in history!"

"Look! How heavy are these ears of rice! I swear! I've never seen such full ears of rice in my entire life!"

"Hybrid rice! This is the hybrid rice developed in Konoha!"

The reporter's coverage was broadcast live to televisions in millions of households.

The child sat down next to his parents on a stool, excitedly watching the television screen.

The elderly man, in his eighties, gazed at the wheat fields he had never seen before and exclaimed in amazement.

Uchiha clan.

Sasuke sat on Itachi's lap, excitedly pointing at the familiar figure on the TV.

"Nii-san, look! It's Yamato-nii-san!"

On television, Yamato stands on a platform erected in front of Experimental Field No. 3, explaining the advantages of hybrid rice in his capacity as the Minister of Agriculture of Konoha and the father of hybrid rice.

He spoke with confidence, and his eyes seemed to gleam.

Itachi watched this scene with a complicated expression.

"What's wrong, Nii-san? Aren't you happy?"

Sasuke, sitting on Itachi's lap, was somewhat surprised.

The older brother didn't seem very happy.

"No, of course I'm happy."

Itachi smiled and ruffled Sasuke's hair.

He was certainly pleased with Yamato's achievements.

What a magnificent innovation this is!

Yamato, who is about the same age as him, has already achieved what countless people cannot achieve in a lifetime.

Despite his joy, Itachi couldn't help but feel complicated emotions.

As a fellow disciple of Namikaze Mirai, even he pales in comparison to the current Yamato.

Itachi's heart was filled with resentment.

His pride wouldn't allow him to be defeated by Yamato so easily.

How can I explain this to Sasuke?

Just as Itachi remained silent, Sasuke, who was on Itachi's lap, suddenly cried out in surprise.

"Nii-san! Look! A strange person is flying down from the sky!"

wack?

The weasel raised its head.

Above the golden wheat fields of Experimental Field No. 3, several figures dressed in black robes with red cloud patterns were slowly descending.

"This is?!"

Itachi's pupils dilated in shock!

……

at the same time.

Experimental Field No. 3

The reporter who was broadcasting live was stunned by what he saw.

The cameras carried on their shoulders were all aimed at the six figures that descended from the sky.

Yamato, who was giving a passionate speech, had to stop and looked at them with astonishment.

Payne!

The six Pain figures fell neatly from the sky, landing in front of the wheat fields of Experiment Field No. 3.

Her ripple-like purple eyes swept across the tense crowd around her without any emotion.

"Damn it! Who are you people?"

The ninja in charge of maintaining order stepped forward and questioned them.

"Do you know that this is being broadcast live nationwide right now...?"

Before he could finish speaking, his eyes were filled with terror, his body floated uncontrollably, and his throat felt like it was being squeezed tightly, making it impossible for him to utter a sound.

Pain didn't even make a move, and the ninja was thrown dozens of meters away in terror, crashing down heavily and becoming a bloody mess.

"Ahhh! Run away!"

"Killed!"

A moment!

Panic, terror, and chaos erupted from the surrounding crowd, who scattered and fled in all directions. In the panic, a stampede even occurred.

Several reporters carrying cameras trembled with fear, the surrounding air seemed to freeze, leaving them rooted to the spot.

Pain slowly approached.

The upper body appears in the camera's view.

His next words were transmitted to every household via live television broadcast.

"We are... Payne!"

"How many flights of stairs do you have to carry a bag of rice up?"

Chapter 109 Mirai Namikaze VS Pain Tendo!

"Pain?!"

"what is that?"

Viewers watching on television felt a chill run down their spines and a sense of unease as Pain suddenly appeared.

Especially those rippling, pale purple eyes; even through the television screen, they felt an oppressive pressure that made it hard for them to breathe.

It's as if we're being watched by something extremely terrifying!

"Nii-san! What is Payne?"

At the Uchiha clan head's residence, Sasuke turned his head and looked at Itachi in surprise.

Itachi did not directly answer Sasuke's question.

His pupils trembled slightly.

Cold sweat was already seeping out from my back.

Hokage Room.

The door was pushed open violently.

"Future-kun! Did you see the live stream?"

Orochimaru's pale gold vertical pupils still held a trace of shock.
