As soon as Danzo Shimura died, the Konoha high-ups did not conduct a detailed confirmation, verification, and investigation, and Uchiha Itachi was labeled an S-class traitor the next day!
Everything happened so naturally, as if someone had witnessed it firsthand, which is why the development of events seemed so smooth.
This happened to be the most coincidental point in Nagato's eyes.
"Obviously... the battle took place in the northern part of the Land of Fire, near the Konoha camp that was fighting the Yu Ninja Summoning Beast Corps. It was late at night, and there would be no spectators near the battlefield..."
These were the information sent back by White Zetsu. After Nagato combined the information from all sides, he smelled something wrong.
Even if two of the top ninjas in the village, who were high-ranking officials of Konoha, were killed and the other missing.
Nagato will definitely investigate this matter thoroughly before releasing the true information to the public.
But Konoha's reaction was too fast, so fast that Nagato felt it was abnormal!
In addition, based on his understanding of Shimura Danzo, the death of such a dark-minded and ruthless ninja was somewhat strange.
Or rather, it was a little too easy.
"Perhaps, this was a trick by Minato Namikaze to eliminate dissidents and set a trap to get rid of this ambitious man who wanted to seize the position of the Fifth Hokage?!"
Combining the information sent back by the White Zetsu lurking in various parts of the Ninja World that Shimura Danzo has been very active recently, Nagato slowly narrowed his eyes.
These two things connected together made him wonder whether there was some inevitable connection between them.
At least, after Yahiko's death, Nagato did not hesitate to anticipate everything that would happen with the worst and darkest mentality of human nature!
......
In response to Nagato's confusion, White Zetsu suddenly smiled.
"Based on the intelligence I painstakingly gathered, although it's a bit shocking, it's very likely to be true!
According to the investigation of the brothers lurking in Konoha, Uchiha Itachi was preparing to go to the northern front of the Land of Fire to participate in an emergency mission under the order of the Fourth Hokage Minato Namikaze.
Judging from the traces left at the scene, someone had been hiding for a long time, and when Uchiha Itachi arrived, he launched an attack!
Now it seems that those ambushing forces must be Root Ninjas, but unfortunately, they seem to have failed..."
"So, why did Danzo attack Uchiha Itachi, and why did Uchiha Itachi want to kill him? You have to know that he was a high-ranking advisor to his own village! One of the most powerful ninja! Almost on par with the Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze!"
Nagato asked suspiciously.
What he was more concerned about was the real motive of both sides in wanting to kill each other.
This is the most crucial issue for Nagato.
This concerns what actions he will take next against the traitor Uchiha Itachi.
Should we send someone to test him, or recruit him directly?
Bai Zetsu thought for a moment and then answered confidently, "Sir Nagato, this story begins a long time ago. You may have heard rumors about the Second Hokage, Senju Tobirama."
Hearing White Zetsu's words, Nagato quickly realized what was happening, his pupils shrinking. "You're saying...it's related to that policy that was set against the Uchiha?"
"Yeah!" Bai Zetsu nodded affirmatively.
After their founder, Uchiha Madara, left the village, the Senju clan adopted more extreme measures against the remaining Uchiha clans, restricting and suppressing them.
They even imprisoned the Uchiha ninjas in the name of the Police Department and tied them up in Konoha Village!
"Shimura Danzo is the most determined successor to Senju Tobirama. What you want to say is that there is a feud between the Uchiha and Shimura Danzo?"
Nagato had also heard about the hatred between the two sides.
"That's right!" Special White Zetsu nodded slightly.
"The continued suppression of the Uchiha by the Konoha high command had already caused deep resentment among them! Uchiha Itachi grew up in such an environment and became a close confidant of the Hokage, Namikaze Minato...
But he was eventually ambushed by the Root, and with all his old and new grudges coming together, he chose to kill his high-ranking advisor, Shimura Danzo, in a rage. Finally, knowing that he would not have a good ending, Uchiha Itachi had no choice but to become a defecting ninja!
Hearing this, Nagato was silent for a moment, then shook his head slightly and spoke lightly.
"Let's observe for a while longer. Although I believe in White Zetsu's intelligence capabilities, we can't make hasty judgments just yet. If this is definitely not a conspiracy of Konoha, it won't be too late to recruit Uchiha Itachi."
Perhaps other ninja villages are unaware of the existence of Akatsuki, and even less aware that the Hidden Rain Village has secretly changed its regime.
But Nagato knew that Konoha must know about the existence of him and the Rinnegan!
Recalling the time when Danzo Shimura and Hanzo Salamander showed their ugly faces through their Rinnegan in the rainy Land, Nagato's eyes were filled with anger.
But he quickly controlled himself and kept the hatred in his heart instead of expressing it superficially.
Bai Zetsu nodded to show that he understood, then merged into the ground and disappeared.
Nagato walked to the rain platform, silently looking down at the hazy village soaked in rain, muttering to himself.
"Uchiha Itachi, I hope you won't let me down..."
.......
Chapter 629 Wandering Ninja - Uchiha Itachi
Nowadays, Uchiha Itachi always likes to hide himself in the shadows.
When a person walks in the ninja world, he must always be alert and never take it lightly.
The country of Sichuan.
It was just at night when it was hazy.
Uchiha Itachi walked slowly in the wilderness, surrounded by withered yellow weeds, and then there was only the pitch-black night.
His handsome face was furrowed with brows, as if he was worried about something.
In his hand was a bloody head.
On the face stained with blood, the hideous expression at the moment of death can be vaguely seen.
With such a scary head with eyes open and as scary as an evil ghost, Itachi, who was only fifteen years old, showed a mentality that was difficult for ordinary people to match.
He grabbed her hair without changing his expression and walked towards an underground black market in River Country.
The target of this bounty mission is a wandering ninja from the Land of Grass.
This person stole precious medicinal herbs from Kusagakure Village, which led to Kusagakure Village issuing a bounty on the black market, and this senior ninja also appeared on the bounty list.
The reward level is B, and the reward amount is five million taels.
Itachi Uchiha spent three days collecting intelligence, but the battle took only a blink of an eye, and he beheaded the senior ninja with one sword!
For ninjas who do not understand Uchiha Itachi's abilities, except for ninjas at the level of the Five Kage, the outcome of a fight between him and other ninjas will often be decided in one encounter.
After all, even the Golden Monkey King almost died from Itachi's Sharingan illusion!
In order to capture these defected ninjas who were wandering around, not only was the intelligence work a bit troublesome, but after all, without his teammates in the Anbu to provide him with intelligence, he had to collect and track them all by himself.
But when it comes to the speed of action, Itachi is extremely rough and simple.
Speaking of which, Itachi is not short of money.
On the night of his defection, Shisui felt sorry for him being alone outside and secretly gave him one million taels.
His status as an S-class ninja after his defection brought him great fame.
But in order to meet Minato Namikaze's requirements, he also needs to "appropriately" expose his whereabouts in the ninja world.
The underground black market is undoubtedly a good platform.
Not only can it provide him with certain intelligence information, but it can also spread his whereabouts.
As time went by, Uchiha Itachi had actually gradually adapted to the life of a bounty hunter.
But he was unable to complete Minato Namikaze's instructions, which finally made him feel a little anxious.
"So many days have passed. My reputation in the underground black market should have spread to the Rain Country..."
Thinking of this, Uchiha Itachi was stunned.
Looking up at the waning moon in the sky, a hint of bitterness appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"Sure enough, I'm still a little impatient..."
He took a deep breath and drove away the irritation in his heart.
But just then!
The world in front of Itachi suddenly became pitch black!
It is complete darkness, without a single ray of light!
In Itachi's eyes.
The originally bright moonlight suddenly disappeared, and the dark clouds floating in the sky were obscured by something unknown, even the surrounding flowers, trees, and even the darkness were swallowed up!
Waves of murderous intent were transmitted through the air, coupled with the pitch-black darkness, which made Itachi feel creepy.
His handsome face changed slightly, as if he had guessed something.
"This form of jutsu seems to be a ninjutsu that the second generation in the village once used. It is a ninjutsu that can completely put a person in darkness and obscure their vision - the Darkness Walking Jutsu!"
As far as he knew, this was an A-grade illusion developed by the Second Hokage, Senju Tobirama, and recorded in the Book of Seals.
Even the Sharingan illusion of his Uchiha clan, in a sense, could not compare to the power of this technique.
If this technique was performed by a ninja of the same level, it would be impossible to dispel the darkness and restore the light in a short period of time.
Fighting a mysterious enemy in complete darkness is undoubtedly an extremely unwise choice.
Itachi didn't know which direction the enemy would attack from, so he didn't try to flee. Instead, he stood still. He dropped the head on the ground, tucked his hands into his sleeves, and secretly prepared to form a seal.
next moment.
There was a sharp sound of breaking wind in his ears.
A large number of kunai were shot from all directions in the outside world, all aimed at Itachi's vital parts to attack, and the huge offensive also covered the space within several meters around him.
Without hesitation, Kisame took out the ninja sword from his back and swung it violently, creating a silver moon curtain that deflected all the incoming kunai.
As a defected ninja, it is understandable that he was targeted by ninjas.
Although he was not clear about the identity and specific strength of the visitor.
But with the help of the previous illusion that was suspected to be the Dark Walking Technique, Itachi had already vaguely guessed the identity of the person who came.
After all, even in Konoha Village, not everyone is qualified to learn this A-level illusion.
