Naruto: The Information Broker from the Uchiha Clan.

Chapter 489 Walking into a Trap

With the spatial passage open, Urashiki can go directly to Konoha.

But clearly, he was afraid that the moment he peeked out, that terrifying guy would smash him to pieces with a single slap.

Given that he was capable of being an opponent of a god, Urashiki had no doubt that Urashiki could detect him within the Leaf Village, and even within the Land of Fire.

But no matter how you look at it, the condition of my body seems to be the result of the actions of those figures on the chessboard.

Since God is nowhere to be found, the only one who knows for sure is Uchiha Kumo.

And then there's Momoshiki. In the battle in the other dimension, before he died, Momoshiki bestowed the Karma upon a little devil.

At that time, those people thought that he had held Uchiha Kumo back, but only he knew that he had held back a piece of shit!

Facing Uchiha Yun, he was completely overwhelmed in every way. If it weren't for the fact that he had to make a deal with him in the past, he probably wouldn't have been able to escape.

So, was Momoshiki's wedge also within his expectations?

As this thought arose, Urashiki felt a chill run down his spine.

If that's the case, then the stubborn consciousness of this bastard inside me is probably also the work of some other bastard.

But is it okay if I don't go?

The consciousness that had somehow drawn him there, and Uchiha Yun who clearly knew and awakened him.

Under the control of these bastards, I only have a superficial understanding of everything. How can I get rid of them?

Or... you could go to Amegakure.

Thinking of this, Urashiki looked at Black Zetsu: "I need to go to Konoha in a normal way. Before that, I have some things to do. Arrange your identity and wait for me to come back."

Black Zetsu lowered his head slightly: "Understood."

……

The Land of Rain, the Hidden Village of Rain.

Compared to the various small countries in the ninja world, the Land of Rain is undoubtedly special.

The existence of the Akatsuki organization and Uzumaki Sora makes this village the only exception to the war between small countries. Even the five great nations have to abide by the special policies set by the Land of Rain when passing through here in recent years.

In addition, it was the first small country to have tram tracks opened, the first small country to connect to base station signal towers, and the first small country authorized to learn and reproduce agricultural and electrical technologies.

Everyone knows its special nature, and Konoha also allows it to be so. Under these circumstances, the geographical location of the Land of Rain, which used to always cause wars, has now made it prosperous.

With its land bordering three major powers—earth, wind, and fire—and trams traversing these three countries, this location became the choice for countless caravan groups.

Because of the existence of the Akatsuki organization, Yahiko, who was resurrected, has not stayed in Amegakure properly for the past ten years or so. He has been patrolling around with the Six Paths of Pain every day.

The Land of Rain also implemented the policy suggested by Konoha, establishing security forces in various villages and towns throughout the Land of Rain, using Amegakure as the base for its ninjas.

The management of the security forces was naturally handled by Yahiko, who harbored his own dreams.

The small size of the land became an advantage for the Land of Rain. Konan's origami and Nagato's occasional Rain Tiger Free Technique, along with the wireless communication technology formed by the base station signal towers, ensured that no one in the Land of Rain dared to break the rules.

Over the course of more than a decade, Yahiko discovered that the Land of Rain today was the Land of Rain he had dreamed of back then.

Therefore, compared to Sora and Nagato, who rarely leave Amegakure, it is actually him who is in charge.

……

"boom!!"

The loud noise did not alarm the people below the Land of Rain, because yesterday's news from the Land of Rain had already stated that today would be a sunny day.

The dark clouds, formed due to the geographical location, dispersed after the roar, and the usual sunlight fell, even though it wasn't yet afternoon.

The amount of rainfall from this dark cloud was discussed before yesterday, and since an oasis in the Land of Wind needed it, it was transferred there.

"It's been over a decade, and you still can't get enough of looking at me."

Yahiko, who had just returned from outside, looked at the sunlight outside the balcony with a satisfied and content expression: "Back then, I fantasized that the Land of Rain could have such a day. No, the Land of Rain I fantasized about had not yet reached the point where it could control the weather."

"I just imagined the day when peace would come, the drizzle in the Land of Rain would stop, the sun would shine down, and everyone's face would be filled with a happy smile."

Nagato, who was behind him, walked to Yahiko's side and said, "The peace that person promised proves that my choice back then was not wrong."

Yahiko shook his head slightly: "Sora said that true peace still needs time to transition. The peace between the five great powers has also kept the conflicts between smaller countries going. This is just a process, and the world I dream of has not yet been achieved."

As he spoke, Yahiko looked at the sunlight outside again and murmured, "But this... is already very good."

After a moment, Yahiko turned around and asked, "What about those guys? Are they still under control?"

Nagato replied, "Hidan? Or Deidara? Ever since Hidan had his head chopped off by Ku and then had Kakuzu sew it back onto a dog, that guy is genuinely scared now."

"Make an example of him, and Deidara has become much more obedient. His flying ability is quite good; you should assign him to the emergency transport department, this job is very suitable for him."

Yahiko nodded: "Making the best use of resources, the development of technology combined with the power of ninjas, is what allows the Land of Rain to develop faster and faster."

"By the way, how long will it take us to get to Konoha's highest decision-making political center?"

Nagato: "Ku said that the Land of Rain needs to wait. We are different from other large and small countries. The Daimyo's Mansion was destroyed only a little over a decade ago, and the historical hatred left by Obito Uchiha is still accumulating on us."

The Akatsuki organization of the Land of Rain was tasked with drawing upon the hatred of the various daimyo's families, including the deaths of Onoki of Iwagakure, the Genshi of Kirigakure, and the Fifth Raikage of Kumogakure.

Even now, the Land of Rain remains assertive on certain issues, which serves as a warning from Akatsuki and Uzumaki Sora to everyone.

The establishment of the Supreme Decision-Making Council represents many things, the most important of which is that the time is gradually ripe for unifying the ninja world and the plan for the next ten years can be launched.

Konoha, as the positive force, has achieved its current status of being able to command widespread support through subtle influence over the past decade or so.

In this initial stage, the Land of Rain, which serves as a deterrent against such forces, is not suitable to be among the first to join.

Yahiko pondered for a moment.

"In the future, the Land of Rain will disappear, right?"

Nagato shook her head slightly: "I don't know either, but I think this result isn't bad, is it? The Land of Rain is just a name. If being called the Town of Drizzle makes everyone's life better, then there's nothing unacceptable about it."

Yahiko let out a breath: "You're right. Everything is acceptable in the face of peace."

"Buzz..."

At that moment, a voice appeared in Nagato's mind.

"Go to this location and bring this person over."

After the sound faded, a coordinate and a person's face appeared in Nagato's mind.

"What's wrong?"

"I was sent to pick up someone. He looked quite young, but he wasn't wearing a headband. I've already sent Tiandao over."

……

Inside Rain Hidden Village.

Pu Shi bypassed the doorway check by using a spatial passage; how could he possibly have an ID card?!

Furthermore, Black Zetsu didn't prepare anything for himself that was so crucial!

asshole!

He cursed inwardly and looked around.

Although there are fewer high-rise buildings compared to Konoha, there seem to be more trucks coming and going, as well as shops.

coming.

Urashiki turned around to look behind him: "By imbuing the puppet with the basic abilities of the Rinnegan, this method can indeed be used for multiple tasks at close range. But it's somewhat redundant when facing an enemy."

The current Heavenly Path is no longer Yahiko's appearance, after all, the original has been resurrected, but the several black rods that conduct chakra on the puppet's body cannot escape Urashiki's eyes.

The expressionless Tendou ignored Urashiki's comments and said directly, "Lord Sora asked me to take you there."

Pu Shi's gaze sharpened slightly, then he looked up at the distant tower.

Even though it was just a spatial passage that would have taken him there, he still chose to follow Pain to the tower.

……

Within the tower, the tallest building in the expanded Amegakure remains this tower.

Meanwhile, Sora Uzumaki was standing on the balcony, waiting for Urashiki Otsutsuki to arrive.

Looking down at Urashiki, who was obediently entering the tower, Sora looked at his familiar body. More than ten years had passed, yet he still looked like a child.

"Knock knock knock".

"Come in."

Pain opened the door, and after Urashiki walked in, he left, closing the door behind him.

Urashiki didn't angrily question him. Compared to his arrogance when he first arrived on this planet, he now knew that the waters of this world were... far too deep.

At this moment, Urashiki looked at the whirlpool, his thoughts racing, yet he hesitated to speak.

He had thought a lot before coming here, but now he didn't know how to start the conversation.

Uzumaki Sora looked at him and smiled, "You've recovered quite well. The information recorded in the Karma has been perfectly inherited by this body. After sleeping for more than ten years, you've become much more obedient."

Urashiki picked up the thread: "With the power to glimpse the future, it's impossible for you not to notice something's wrong with this body. The original consciousness still exists, although it doesn't have a significant impact, and I'm still in control for now, but this shouldn't be the case."

"Why shouldn't it be?"

Uzumaki Sora: "Because you are an Otsutsuki, a so-called superior race, while he is merely an existence whose bloodline has been infinitely diluted over thousands of years, so you think he should be completely devoured by you, right?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Urashiki stared at Sora: "So you really do know something, so it was you who did it? Or was it Uchiha Kumo?"

Whirlpool shrugged: "Is there a difference?"

Yes, is there a difference?

Just like when he, Momoshiki, and their servant Kinshiki came to this world, they thought: to destroy and absorb everything in this world. What meaning is there in the thoughts of an inferior race?

Moreover... the world's格局 (structure/pattern) is being unified, and according to the information obtained from Black Zetsu, there really is no difference.

"My power..."

Urashiki was interrupted by Uzumaki Sora before he could finish speaking.

"Now it seems that it may no longer be your strength."

Uzumaki Sora turned around: "Do you think I'll be able to see Black Zetsu nurture this body? Or do you think that the reason this body is able to bear the power of the Otsutsuki is due to the intervention of my other powers?"

"Or... why do you think Black Zetsu has survived until now? Is it really impossible for me to find him? No, it was already exposed when it tried to use the power of the Rinnegan through the letter."

His nonchalant voice held a superior air, much like the one when the Otsutsuki descended upon this world.

To despise, or even to ignore.

Although this attitude was expected, it still infuriated Urashiki.

"So...you've got me cornered, haven't you?"

"eat?"

Uzumaki Sora nodded slightly: "That adjective is a little inappropriate, but your power, which is controlled by this body in the form of a wedge, can be described as such."

"asshole!!"

In an instant, the black mark on Pu Shi's palm spread, and his entire body underwent a fundamental change.

The next moment, the space seemed to freeze, and even the wind in the air stopped.

However, none of this mattered to his true target, Vortex Sora.

"Actually, you're quite right, because that being might not be benevolent towards you either. The fact that you and Momoshiki were able to discover this place was part of His plan."

"But also... you are not human. Kaguya gained humanity under His influence. You may have fear and timidity, but you absolutely do not have humanity."

"Those who are not of our kind will surely have different hearts. From the moment you found Black Zetsu more than ten years ago, the ending was already predetermined. Whether you come to me or go to Konoha to find Uchiha Kumo, the result will be the same."

"Besides, I still owe this kid a ninjutsu. Back then, he was like a little shadow, so annoying, but he was human, and he was an Uchiha."

As soon as he finished speaking, an empty hand was placed on Urashiki's head.

It was just an ordinary outstretched hand, but from Urashiki's perspective, having experienced this scene more than ten times, he could not avoid this simple outstretched hand no matter which direction he dodged from.

Speed, and an immense, terrifying pressure of chakra.

At this moment, Urashiki thought that if there really were gods, they probably wouldn't be anything special.

"Buzz..."

A wave-like force spread between the two, and Urashiki, who was being held down, felt his consciousness slipping away.

That was the power of the wedge, and also the power of his consciousness.

"ah!!!"

A scream rang out, and Urashiki felt a response from another consciousness within him.

When Uzumaki Sora said that he owed him a ninjutsu, this power surged wildly from the depths of his mind like a desperate tidal wave.

Karma is the complete collection of information about the Otsutsuki clan. Naturally, it contains some of the Otsutsuki clan's main consciousness after its resurrection, but at this moment, this consciousness is being eroded, turned into nutrients, and devoured by that weakened consciousness.

In a daze, Pu Shi regretted it.

He regretted ever thinking of getting involved in this struggle. In fact, unlike Momoshiki, he shouldn't have even known about this world in the first place!
