Naruto: The Information Broker from the Uchiha Clan.

Chapter 236 Both are the same person (12)

Such a secret should perhaps have been buried deep underground, never to be known by anyone.

But the vortex void...

No! It should be Uchiha Yun who chose to tell them.

Two beings recognized as the strongest in the ninja world are now being told that they are the same person.

Ha ha……

If Onoki of Iwagakure were to learn of this information, according to Uzumaki Sora, that old man would probably surrender immediately.

What's the point of fighting?

The strongest Wood Release technique, combined with Uchiha Kumo's Armored Susanoo...

A casual strike could reach the level of a Tailed Beast Ball. Even the Five Great Shinobi Villages could only withstand a few attacks under such power.

Xiao Nan, standing to the side, looked at the two people in front of her with a serious expression.

Uzumaki Sora, Uchiha Kumo...

Having witnessed the battle at the Sea of ​​Endings, she was well aware of the terror of the two men's fight.

The Wooden Dummy Technique faced off against the Armored Susanoo, showing no mercy whatsoever; every strike seemed designed to kill its opponent...

Finally, Uchiha Kumo used the power of the Eight Gates' Death Gate to sink a corner of the continent with a single blow, and Uzumaki Sora was completely annihilated.

But now... these two people... are actually the same person!!

At this moment, Yun spoke up, "Why should I tell you? The answer is actually quite simple."

As Yun spoke, he looked at Nagato and said, "When my clone, Uzumaki Sora, first came to Amegakure, his purpose was to borrow something from you."

Seeing Nagato's gaze sharpen slightly, Yun smiled and nodded: "You guessed right. Back then, only the Rinnegan could pique my interest. So what I wanted was indeed the Rinnegan."

The scene remained silent for a long while.

"So...you don't need me anymore, right?"

Nagato stared directly at Yun: "That eye power you just witnessed is already on par with my own. As both are among the three great dojutsu, the Sharingan is more suitable for you?"

Yun shook her head slightly: "Although the Rinnegan and Sharingan are indeed two different eyes as they are now, in fact, these two bloodlines originated from one person..."

"By the way, it's not just the Rinnegan and Sharingan, but also the Byakugan, one of the three great dojutsu."

How is that possible?

The shock had barely risen in her heart when Nagato realized what had happened.

Kaguya Otsutsuki.

Only the mother of the Sage of Six Paths, the progenitor of all chakra in the entire ninja world, could possess such power...

Yun smiled and said, "Did you already guess? It really is her, the woman whom the ancients once called the Goddess of the Rabbit."

"Even I have always sought the power of the Otsutsuki clan. The Uchiha, Senju, Uzumaki, Hyuga... these bloodline clans located in Konoha, along with some others scattered throughout, all have the bloodline of this clan within them."

"And now, your eyes, which you obtained from Madara Uchiha's Rinnegan, are actually useless to me."

"Because my own Rinnegan... no, I should say, the power that surpasses the Rinnegan is also being nurtured."

For a moment, Nagato and Konan were stunned again.

The two of them then felt relieved.

If Madara Uchiha was able to awaken the Rinnegan in his old age, then given the intelligence capabilities of the person in front of him, he would naturally know how to awaken the Rinnegan as well.

In this way, the Rinnegan that one awakens is naturally more suitable than that of others.

Yun continued, "As the Akatsuki's long-standing public leader, and with the Rinnegan still residing in your body..."

"Most importantly, your will and my ultimate plan for true peace are essentially the same."

After a pause, Yun looked at the two of them and then said, "I know your past very well, and I also know the process of your transition from light to darkness. The previous Akatsuki's ideals, or rather Yahiko's ideals about peace, although naive, did have a respect for life."

"Unfortunately... in any world, it is laughable to expect peace to be achieved through negotiation based solely on goodwill from the bottom of one's heart."

"The struggle for resources is the beginning of all wars. The misuse of supernatural powers is the reason for the world's resource scarcity."

At this point, Yun paused, her smile fading before she asked seriously, "So now... Nagato, Konan, are your wills aligned with mine?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Nagato clenched his fists.

At this moment, he felt the strength in his legs.

Is healing one's old wounds first a way to show confidence and sincerity?

At this moment, Nagato felt the new power within his body. Because of the massive chakra brought by his bloodline, he felt that he could now flexibly use all the abilities of the Six Paths of Pain.

So...

Do you want to agree?

True peace...

Yahiko's will and dream.

The next second, Nagato met Konan's gaze.

If it weren't for Konan and Yahiko back then, I might have starved to death.

For true peace, for a world free from war...

"For peace!"

Nagato's voice rang out, and Konan immediately echoed, "For peace!"

Yun's gaze softened, and behind Nagato and Konan, the Flying Thunder God Technique flashed by.

Although there is a high probability that the two people in front of him will reach an agreement, if any unexpected events occur, then these two people will only be able to die.

They may be resurrected in the future, but now that they know their secret, the two must follow their own will.

The formation of both positive and negative aspects is what led to the five great ninja villages uniting all their forces to resist them.

From today onwards, Nagato at his peak will be his own strength.

……

The barrier that shielded perception was dispelled, and at that moment, both Yun and Nagato were stunned.

Under the Rain Tiger Freedom Technique, Nagato was already aware of the intruder's presence.

As for Yun, he sensed Jiraiya's chakra using his own perception and his superior geographical position.

"What's wrong?"

Nagato looked at Konan and replied, "As the rain fell, a very strong chakra entered the village."

Konan said in a deep voice, "If the Akatsuki organization still needs to lie low at this stage, then the secret of Amegakure cannot be discovered."

Nagato nodded slightly, then looked at Yun beside him.

Having learned the secret he had just been told, he knew exactly where he stood.

"Whoosh."

In an instant, Yun's figure disappeared into the tower.

Uzumaki Sora, who had been silent all along, spoke up: "It's Jiraiya. It seems he finally found this place."

Kong smiled and said, "As your teacher back then, given the bonds we forged during those two years of training, what will you do?"

How to do it?

Nagato slowly walked to the window, looking at the fine rain that kept falling outside.

At that time, Yahiko was still alive...

That was the best time...

"As one of the legendary Sannin of Konoha, his will will absolutely not be with us."

"Even if Konoha becomes the force that unifies the world after the plan is completed, I know my teacher's personality very well. He will not agree to start a great war."

Nagato's gaze turned slightly serious as he spoke: "Then... kill him!"

Xiao Nan frowned, but did not speak to stop her.

Her trip to Konoha before the Battle of the Sea of ​​Ends: At that time, Jiraiya was not in Konoha, so her identity had not yet been exposed.

"Let me find him first."

Nagato nodded, then formed a hand seal, and the rain stopped.

At that moment, Konan's entire body was covered in paper, which took shape as paper butterflies and fluttered and scattered around Amegakure.

As Sora watched all this unfold, he too was contemplating whether to leave Jiraiya here.

The village chief of Amegakure will not give up. This is partly Yahiko's will. Bringing peace to the Land of Rain is something he wanted to do and has already done.

In this way, Akatsuki's information about the Land of Rain cannot be exposed for the time being.

So...

"Use Pain Six Paths, remove the Akatsuki uniform, and drive him out."

Nagato paused for a moment, then asked in a deep voice, "Given your power, I think there's no need to lie low anymore. No one can withstand your power, especially not me now."

Kong shook his head slightly: "The power of the main body can only surpass mine, or be on par with mine. And if we implement the final plan now, unexpected factors will interfere..."

Unexpected factors... Black Zetsu?

Nagato frowned: "Even now, you can't kill it?"

Kong replied, "It's still a bit lacking in power. After all, it's an extremely special being. It's that woman's third son and the embodiment of her will. It won't be so easy to kill."

"However, it is precisely because of his existence that I am letting you and Xiao Nan know about my plan in order to avoid some unexpected situations."

These words startled Nagato.

Throughout the Akatsuki organization, Zetsu's role has primarily been intelligence gathering; his combat prowess has not been particularly outstanding.

But it seems that even Uzumaki Sora can't completely eliminate it.

"Understood."

Nagato nodded, and then Pain, the Deva Path, emerged from the tower.

The stone wall transformed into a portal the moment his hand touched it, and Pain walked in. In no time, all six Pains had changed their clothes.

At that moment, Konan spoke up, "Jiraiya-sensei's position has been confirmed. We can begin."

……

In the drizzle, Jiraiya, who had just infiltrated Amegakure, was spat out of the toad's mouth.

"It looks like everything's going smoothly..."

With a smug remark, Jiraiya then pulled up the hood of his raincoat and headed towards the street not far away.

According to intelligence gathered on the black market, Amegakure seems to have been embroiled in internal strife in recent years and has maintained a high degree of vigilance and isolation from outsiders.

Jiraiya, who had just bought some food, paused slightly in front of a store.

A headband... how could this be?

Several ninjas not far away all had a scratch on their headbands, the mark of rogue ninjas from Amegakure.

The ninjas in Amegakure are wearing headbands that belong to former Amegakure ninjas. Could it be that the internal strife was lost by Hanzo of the Salamander?

How could someone known as a demigod in the ninja world, so cautious and whose guards are said to be rotated every 24 hours, possibly be like this?

"Quack quack..."

The croaking of frogs came from his collar.

Jiraiya then turned and left the store with a serious expression.

Rain Village has a very well-developed drainage system, but there are still many stagnant pools of water everywhere.

At this moment, in Jiraiya's eyes from the shadows, one by one, ninjas wearing Amegakure headbands were emerging from the puddles.

He was equipped with diving gear and dressed exactly like Hanzo the Salamander's bodyguard.

The frogs that had just been left in the puddles had come in handy.

He is a ninja from Amegakure (Hidden Rain Village). He has no scratches and is not a rogue ninja.

Jiraiya pondered for a moment, then followed the group.

It seems that the internal strife in the Land of Rain has truly ended, and the one who will inevitably be defeated is Hanzo the Salamander.

So who will take over Amegakure in the Land of Rain?

At that moment, Sora's face flashed through Jiraiya's mind.

If it were that guy, even Hanzo the Salamander would probably only be killed, right?

We need intelligence.

As Hanzo's remaining subordinates, they must know exactly what happened in Amegakure.

Immediately, Jiraiya stopped hiding and walked openly behind the six Rain Ninja.

"Whoosh!"

A kunai was flung out in an instant, grazing past Jiraiya's neck.

"As Hanzo's bodyguard, those kunai you just used were poisoned, weren't they? You really... you almost got killed."

As he spoke, Jiraiya raised his hands: "I mean no harm. If any of you participated in the Second Shinobi World War, you should recognize me."

As soon as he finished speaking, the six leading ninjas of the Rain Village looked at Jiraiya.

"Jiraiya, once bestowed the title of one of the Legendary Sannin by Lord Hanzo. Why is a Konoha native here in Amegakure?"

Jiraiya nodded and smiled, "It's good that someone recognizes me. I came here to investigate a mysterious organization, though it's just a gamble. But it seems Amegakure is no longer under Hanzo's rule, right?"

"Damn it! We will definitely avenge Lord Hanzo!"

One of the Rain Ninja was enraged, but was immediately stopped by the leader.

He then said, "Amegakure... is indeed no longer under Lord Hanzo's rule, but the civil war in the Land of Rain does not require Konoha's involvement."

Jiraiya shook his head slightly: "If I'm lucky, the six of you probably can't change anything. Sharing information might help me."

These words made the leader of the Rain Ninja hesitate.

That so-called Pain was able to kill even Hanzo, so the success rate of assassination is extremely low.

But if they could get help from Jiraiya, one of the Legendary Sannin, perhaps...

"Don't fall for his tricks! In a long war like this, how could Konoha possibly help Amegakure? They'll only take the opportunity to annex the power and land of the Land of Rain; they're enemies too!"

His subordinate's words jolted him awake, and he immediately said to Jiraiya, "The Land of Rain's internal problems do not require Konoha's help. Please leave!"

Jiraiya frowned slightly. Should he make a move?

After hesitating for a moment, Jiraiya said in a deep voice, "Then, to show my sincerity, I have some information here that you might be interested in."

"Among the members of Akatsuki, there is one named..."

"Swish, swish, swish..."

Before he could finish speaking, five figures appeared around the Rain Ninja in an instant.

Spiritual communication!

Amidst the smoke, a massive, vicious dog bit the leader of the Rain Ninja to pieces.

With a swift swing of its claws, it severed the heads of the three men.

Blood splattered everywhere.

Two other people reacted quickly and immediately tried to dodge.

However, Shura Dao raised his hand, and a series of rockets blasted the two of them into ashes.

At that moment, Jiraiya was stunned.

Five pairs of Rinnegan? How is that possible!

How could so many of these legendary eyes suddenly appear?

"Jiraiya, one of the Legendary Sannin of Konoha, what is your purpose in infiltrating Amegakure?"

The Animal Path, standing at the forefront, spoke first, threateningly asking, "Without permission, a powerful ninja like you suddenly appears in Amegakure. What is Konoha's purpose?"

Jiraiya was momentarily at a loss, but the existence of the five pairs of Rinnegan still shocked him.

After a moment of silence, Jiraiya spoke, "It seems that Amegakure is no longer under the rule of Hanzo of the Salamander. And who are you people? Why do you possess the Rinnegan?"

The Animal Path, offering an irrelevant answer, remained expressionless, but its words carried a threat: "Amegakure's internal problems shouldn't warrant reporting to Konoha. Konoha ninja, leave this place, or Amegakure will take this as a provocation from Konoha!"

Jiraiya shook his head slightly: "No. As things stand, if the new leader of Amegakure is a sensible person, then he will know very well that Konoha is not afraid of anyone right now."

This answer caused Nagato, who was controlling Pain from behind, to frown slightly.

With combat power like Uchiha Kumo, Konoha is indeed not afraid of any threat now.

But now, Uchiha Kumo's clone is standing right beside him. The feeling is truly indescribable…

"He won't give up easily, and by creating the corpses of the Six Paths of Pain, he'll soon remember. They're all acquaintances; he'll continue to infiltrate."

Sora chuckled and said, "Let's do it. Payne's existence is enough to make him back down, and it can also delay all suspicions for a while."

Nagato felt somewhat embarrassed upon hearing this.

When Pain had long considered himself a god, the creation of the Six Paths of Pain specifically used Jiraiya's past.

Such a choice now seems somewhat immature.

It doesn't improve combat power; it merely highlights so-called destiny.

……

At this moment, the Animal Path stared at Jiraiya: "Then... we have no choice but to leave you here."

The moment the words left his mouth, the hellhound lunged at Jiraiya.

Jiraiya's gaze narrowed slightly, and then he pressed his hand to the ground: Summoning Jutsu!

"Bang!"

The enormous harpoon blocked the hellhound's gaping maw horizontally, and the smoke dissipated with a roar.

With a sudden burst of strength, Toad Jian flung the Hellhound away.

Jiraiya, standing atop them, spoke up: "You attacked me without hesitation, knowing the current strength of Konoha. What gave you such courage?"

"Just before this, I uttered the word 'Akatsuki,' and then you killed the Rain Ninja. I find something wrong with that situation no matter what!"
