It turns out that after the Six Kage Summit, the Kage openly acknowledged the existence of the Hidden Village, but none of them wanted the Hidden Village to develop smoothly, so they secretly obstructed it.

Because the Six Kage had a verbal non-aggression pact... So, the Tsuchikage, Onoki, approached the Akatsuki organization, which was gaining fame in the ninja world, hoping to use Akatsuki to deal with Lin Yu.

"Hmph... Just like that old geezer from Libra," Lin Yu chuckled.

"Mr. Yu, what should Akatsuki do next? Should we go and deal with Iwagakure?" Pain asked for instructions.

Lin Yu tapped his fingers rhythmically on the table: "No, there's no need for that. Akatsuki is a mercenary organization. They do things for money, and the most important thing is their reputation. They absolutely cannot do anything to kick someone when they're down, otherwise they'll ruin their reputation and it will be a loss."

Lin Yu paused, his gaze turning deep: "Moreover, the fact that I, Uchiha Yu, once saved the Akatsuki leader from Hanzo of the Salamander is not a big secret in the ninja world... That Onoki of the Two Scales couldn't possibly not know that, yet he hired Akatsuki to kill me. There's probably a test in the way he did."

Pain suddenly realized, "He wants to use this to find out the true relationship between Mr. Yu and Akatsuki!?"

Lin Yu nodded: "Yes, just as I suspected, Hanzo of the Salamander, and even Danzo, are involved in this matter. They want to use this opportunity to find out all our secrets..."

Payne asked sternly, "Then, Mr. Yiyu, how should this matter be handled? Should I refuse this commission?"

Lin Yu laughed and said, "No need~ Since business has come to us, why not do it? Besides, this is a great opportunity to make Akatsuki famous. Nagato, come and fight me! Let's put on a show for the Five Great Nations!"

Payne was taken aback: "Acting? Sir, could it be... that you intend to deliberately lose to me!?"

Lin Yu shook his head and said in a deep voice, "No, the Uchiha bloodline does not allow me to hold back in battle! Nagato, it's time to show the ninja world your true power! Fight me, Uchiha Yu, and even defeat is an honor!"

After a long silence, Pain asked, "Then... where should the battlefield be located?"

Without even a second thought, one can imagine the devastation that would ensue if Lin Yu and Nagato were to engage in a full-blown battle...

Therefore, the choice of battlefield must be made carefully.

So, Lin Yu turned around, looked carefully at the map of the ninja world behind him, and finally made his decision.

"Two days from now, at the border of the four nations, in the Land of Grass... We'll choose that place for our battle! The five great ninja villages will surely be watching this battle closely. Nagato... I don't expect you to defeat me. All you have to do is fight with all your might and force out as much of my power as possible! Only in this way can the five great nations believe that there is no connection between me and Akatsuki!"

Only in this way... can I please the long-dormant fighting spirit of Uchiha Yu! Lin Yu thought to himself.

“Mr. Yu… I will treat this battle as a life-or-death struggle, and I will certainly not let you down!” Whoosh! Pain’s figure flickered.

"Remember to have Onoki pay the bill!" Lin Yu instructed.

Hehe, actually, Lin Yu's arrangement was partly for the five great nations to see, but he also had his own selfish reasons. After establishing Dark Hidden Village, during his leisure time, the battle blood in his body had been restless for a long time, and he had to quench it with a thorough and exhilarating battle!

Thinking about it carefully, the reason he partially sealed the Gedo Mazo within Nagato was probably so that Nagato could become his opponent...

Uchiha Yu, this battle maniac.

"From the Land of Darkness to Kusagakure, Kamui hasn't marked it yet. It'll take a day to travel there. Let's arrange things in the village..."

Lin Yu summoned Hozuki Mangetsu, the captain of the Dark Guard in Dark Village.

"What are the instructions?" Man Yue asked.

Lin Yu told Man Yue about his upcoming battle with Nagato.

"That Tsuchikage is really cunning! Although that Yagura kid is no pushover either!" Mangetsu said.

"It doesn't matter. There is never absolute peace in the ninja world. Everyone is secretly fighting each other. Onoki's methods, well... they're pretty standard." Lin Yu was very open about it.

But then his eyes narrowed slightly, and he changed the subject: "However... since they've already made a move, we can't just pretend we didn't see it. Iwagakure's renowned Explosion Squad possesses the incredibly powerful 'Explosion Release' ninjutsu. Mangetsu, I need you to capture an Explosion Release ninja and bring him back to the village..."

"Oh? You're interested in explosives?" Full Moon asked in surprise.

Lin Yu said, "Yes, Dark Hidden Village needs to collect as many bloodline limits as possible in this world to strengthen its combat power. Full Moon, this is the first secret mission you have received as the captain of the Dark Hidden Village's Dark Force. Don't let me down."

"Understood. If I fail to complete this, I'll offer my head in return!" Hozuki Mangetsu assured him.

At the ninja academy, in the training grounds, White Zetsu CC members are training with the children.

Ah Fei sat alone in an open space, drawing patterns of poop on the fresh, rain-soaked soil with a wooden stick...

"Afei, I need to leave the village for a while." Lin Yu came up behind him.

"Are we going to war?" Afei asked as he continued drawing the second piece.

"Yes, my hands are itching..." Lin Yu said seriously, "While I'm away, other villages will inevitably take advantage of the situation..."

"Is it okay to kill someone?" Afei paused in his actions.

"Anyone who dares to invade, leave no one alive, exterminate them all..." Lin Yu's gaze was icy.

"Well, throwing them into the latrine seems like a good option," Afei said, continuing to draw.

"Then I'll leave it to you." Lin Yu disappeared into the divine vortex.

In the Hidden Village Hospital, Uzuki Yuhi is using medical ninjutsu to focus on treating a sick elderly man...

Lin Yu didn't disturb her, but quietly put something down.

"Alright, old man." Uzuki Yuhi wiped his sweat, a smile as bright as an angel's on his face.

"Oh, thank you so much." The old man prepared to pay.

"In Dark Hidden Village, medical treatment is free," Sunset said with a smile.

"Lord Shadow is truly wise!" the old man exclaimed, and then left.

After washing his hands, Xiyang noticed a lunchbox that had been sitting on the table for some time, with a note underneath: "I'm going out of the village for a few days. Eat on time and don't overwork yourself..."

The setting sun blushed, her heart filled with sweetness, and she playfully scolded, "Really, I'm not a child anymore..."

On the top floor of Tianyu Pavilion, Lin Yu gazed at Xi Yan, who was still diligently practicing Chidori in front of the great waterfall. He then withdrew his gaze, closed the window, took out a suit of armor from the Warring States period from the wardrobe, put it on, changed into a... tough and durable mask, and carried the Uchiha fan on his back.

Beneath the mask lies a kaleidoscope of divine power... yearning for war!

"Nagato, let me see how advanced your Rinnegan is..."

Whoosh! Lin Yu, no, Uchiha Yu, vanished into the vortex of Kamui...

An earth-shattering battle is about to shock the world!

Chapter 69 Uchiha Yu vs. Pain!

Within the Land of Grass, on a wide, open plain surrounded by mountains, Lin Yu sat on a rock, having waited for a long time.

Whoosh! A figure landed, a man with long orange hair wearing a fiery cloud robe... After landing, he quickly formed hand seals.

Spiritual communication!

Thud! Thud! Thud! Thud! Thud!

The summoned beings were five men in fiery cloud robes—the Six Paths of Pain, they appeared!

Pain, the leader, stepped forward, his cold and authoritative voice ringing out: "Uchiha Yu, I am Pain, the leader of Akatsuki. I have been commissioned to take your life. Do you have any last words to say...?"

That's right, you have to be a little more involved when acting...

Lin Yu had already sensed the chakra of those onlookers.

Lin Yu said coldly, "Pain, it seems I was wrong to save your leader Nagato from Hanzo's clutches..."

“Nagato is dead. Standing here is Pain.” Pain flicked his sleeve, revealing a black rod in his hand.

Oh~ So the black rods of the Six Paths Technique can be generated freely now? After possessing the power of the Gedo Mazo, his growth in all aspects has accelerated. This battle should be something to look forward to, right?

Lin Yu stood up and said, "Who hired you to kill me? Tell me... and maybe I can leave you a whole corpse."

"Foolish question, accept the punishment from Kami (God)!"

Click! Click! Pain's Asura Path stretched out his arm, and the machine gun shells he summoned flew over, trailing fiery tails!

Boom boom boom boom!!

The flames from the explosion dissipated... but Lin Yu was nowhere to be seen.

Ka!

An arm reached out from the ground and grabbed Payne's ankle.

Earth Release: Heart-Slaying Decapitation Technique!

Snap! The hell realm was pulled into the ground, leaving only a head sticking out.

Lin Yu reached out with both hands from either side, grabbed Hell's neck, and snapped it with a 'neck break'! Hell's face was twisted back, a gruesome sight...

*Snap!* Lin Yu clasped his hands together, forming the '巳' seal!

Wood Release: Advent of the Tree World!

Boom! Boom!

On the open plain, the treetops erupted in rebellion.

"Disperse!!" With a command from the Heavenly Dao, the five paths dispersed.

The earth was quickly covered by forest, and tangled tree trunks and branches entangled and attacked Payne and his companions...

The human realm was entangled and torn to shreds!

Shinra Tensei!!

Heaven's intervention, a powerful repulsive force, temporarily slowed the forest's advance...

The Asura, possessing immense strength, picked up the Animal Realm and threw it into the sky.

The animal being swiftly formed hand seals... a summoning technique!

Boom! Boom! Boom! The Heavenly Path, the Asura Path, and the Hungry Ghost Path were summoned to the sky, along with... a gigantic monstrous bird!

Four figures stood on the back of the giant bird, gazing down at the dense forest below.

“The first to be eliminated in the Hell Path is not a coincidence. Mr. Yu really knew about the abilities of the Six Paths of Pain, and he didn’t intend to hold back…” Pain of the Deva Path said solemnly.

Lin Yu stood atop the tall tree, gazing at the strange bird in the sky. A smirk appeared on his lips beneath the mask, and the seal of 'Noon' was formed.

Fire Release: Great Fire Annihilation!

Bear!! A raging inferno swept across the sky...

"This is the first time I've ever seen such an exaggerated fire jutsu. Even in the sky, it couldn't escape, but..." Heavenly Dao sighed.

Then, the hungry ghosts appeared.

Hungry Ghost Path - Sealing Technique: Absorption Seal!

call out!

A semi-transparent protective shield appeared in front of the Hungry Ghost Realm's hands... The towering fire wave that had been extinguished by the Great Fire disappeared and dissipated as if it had fallen into a bottomless pit!
