Naruto Paradise

"As expected of Itachi-san, you even realized that I was sent by him to monitor you."

Seeing that Uchiha Itachi's face was torn apart, Kisame could no longer pretend.

But, it's a bit of a pity.

In this case, I won't be able to go on missions with Itachi-san anymore, right?

Thinking of this, even a man as iron-blooded as Kisame couldn't help but feel a little sad.

"A Fei should be in..."

"What do you want from me?"

Before Kisame could finish his words, a vortex of spatial fluctuations appeared in the woods behind Uchiha Itachi and Kisame.

Wow.

From the whirlpool, a mysterious man wearing a mask and revealing only one Sharingan appeared in front of the two.

"Itachi, your Mangekyō Sharingan can't even deal with a young boy who doesn't even have a Sharingan. It's really disappointing."

The masked man's voice was unusually low, as if it really was the old Uchiha Madara.

At the same time, the only three-magatama Sharingan exposed on his face also quietly changed its pattern and became the Mangekyō Sharingan.

These days, you can’t even call yourself an Uchiha if you don’t have the Mangekyō Sharingan.

"Uchiha Kage... that boy really has nothing to do with you?"

Ignoring 'Afei's' ridicule, Uchiha Itachi just wanted to know who the Uchiha Kage was.

"Unfortunately, I don't know much about him. He's probably just a kid with extraordinary talent."

Uchiha Obito, who is now in front of Uchiha Itachi and Hoshigaki Kisame, is the mysterious masked man who calls himself Uchiha Madara.

He had received information from Jue not long ago and already knew that Uchiha Itachi and Hoshigaki Kisame had been defeated by a young man.

Being immune to Itachi's eye technique was difficult even for him, not to mention that the opponent was just a kid who didn't even have a Sharingan...

In fact, both Obito and Kisame suspected that it was Uchiha Itachi who directed and acted it out himself.

"If that's the case, then this Uchiha Kage will definitely become a major threat to our organization in the future."

'A Fei' doesn't seem to be lying, which means that the Uchiha Kage was really just a simple accident?

Uchiha Itachi's expression suddenly became much more serious.

"You have a point."

Obito said this, but he was still a little skeptical and disapproving in his heart.

Even if it wasn't directed and acted by Uchiha Itachi himself, that Uchiha Kage didn't show any special performance except that he was immune to Itachi's Mangekyō Dojutsu.

In terms of real strength, it is probably between Chunin and Jonin.

Not enough for him to care at the moment.

"So, I plan to apply to the organization to go undercover in Konoha to investigate the Uchiha Kage."

Uchiha Itachi said something in a light tone that surprised everyone present.

"What… ahem, Itachi, do you know what you're saying?"

Because he was so surprised, Obito almost revealed his true voice.

"You are a traitor to Konoha. How could Konoha allow you to go back?"

He killed his own clan and planned to go back undercover. What on earth was Uchiha Itachi thinking?

Is he planning to betray the organization?

Obito is almost at a loss as to what to do with Itachi.

"What happened back then was originally a political struggle among the Konoha upper echelons. I only left Konoha out of helplessness. You and I both know this very well."

Compared to the goals of Akatsuki, Uchiha Itachi cares more about the safety of his brother and Konoha.

Coupled with the letter from the Third Hokage not long ago, he now has the idea of returning to the village.

"But you massacred the Uchiha clan after all..."

"I will hide my identity, change my appearance, and return to Konoha as an ordinary ANBU member."

"It seems that there is still a connection between Konoha and you."

Uchiha Obito's voice suddenly became cold.

He knew that Uchiha Itachi would not act without a purpose, and thought that he must have already discussed this with a high-ranking Konoha official.

"Do you think I'll let you go back to Konoha so easily?"

Click.

As soon as Obito finished speaking, dozens of White Zetsu emerged from the surrounding grass.

Kisame, who had been waiting for Obito's order, also silently made hand seals.

Not to mention, the one who came out from behind a certain tree——

The figure of someone with a pair of Rinnegan.

"Is even the leader here?"

Uchiha Itachi looked at Tendo Pain who appeared in front of him, and the calm expression on his face finally changed.

"Because 'A Fei' said you might betray the organization."

Tendo Pain walked out from behind the tree and nodded to Obito first, then walked in front of everyone.

"I was only going undercover in Konoha, I had no intention of betraying him."

"You were born in Konoha, and now you've returned as a Konoha ninja. How can we trust your loyalty?"

No matter who it is, if they betray Akatsuki, Pain says he will never show mercy.

"I have a way to prove myself."

Uchiha Itachi knew that if he didn't do something now, there would be no peace later.

He was confident that he could escape unscathed from dealing with 'Afei' and Kisame, but facing Pain who possessed the Rinnegan, he felt that even if he activated the complete form of Susanoo... he might not be able to win.

For him, who was already sick and even on the verge of death, if he really used the Mangekyō Sharingan with all his strength without leaving any room for error, it would be just another form of suicide.

"How do you prove it?"

Obito couldn't think of any way that Uchiha Itachi could convince himself not to doubt him.

This guy has been dishonest since he joined Akatsuki. Now that he has returned to Konoha, it is even more impossible for him to be loyal.

"To show my loyalty to the organization, I intend to give this Sharingan to the leader for safekeeping."

Uchiha Itachi took out a crow with the Mangekyō Sharingan from his sleeve.

"This eye!? Could it be..."

Obito recognized the pattern of the Mangekyō Sharingan at a glance.

"Yes, this is Uchiha Shisui's Mangekyō Sharingan, which contains his most powerful technique, Kotoamatsukami."

Uchiha Itachi said in the calmest tone something that made everyone present gasp in amazement.

"Oh? Kotoamatsukami? Is that the legendary strongest illusion?"

Even Pain was shocked by Uchiha Itachi's handwriting.

An illusion that can modify a person's will is extremely precious.

"That's right. If I'm caught off guard by this technique, even I would be caught unawares."

Uchiha Itachi ordered the crow carrying Shisui's Mangekyō Sharingan to fly to Pain.

"Well, your 'loyalty' is indeed enough."

Payne let the crow fly onto his shoulder without a care in the world.

This body of his was just a puppet, and he was not afraid at all that Uchiha Itachi would suddenly use Kotoamatsukami's technique to control him.

His indifference made Uchiha Itachi even more wary of this leader who possessed the Rinnegan.

Of course, the person he feared the most was 'A Fei' who was standing aside and had been staring at the Mangekyō Sharingan with an inexplicable look since just now.

"Well, since you've already produced something like this, let's just trust your loyalty for now."

Although Obito's tone of voice was not very good, he waved his hand to disperse the White Zetsu he had summoned earlier.

This Uchiha Itachi deliberately took out Shisui's Mangekyō and presented it to Pain... Didn't he know that he and Pain, the apparent leader of the Akatsuki organization, were not of the same mind?

So he was planning to use this to contain him? Or was he trying to get Payne to fight him?

Obito was wildly guessing Uchiha Itachi's intentions in his heart.

However, he even took out Shisui's Mangekyō. It seems that Uchiha Itachi really intends to go to Konoha to investigate the young man?

"Then I'll go get ready."

Although the Mangekyō Sharingan given to Pain was real, Uchiha Itachi did not say that there would be no backup plan for him.

He would never use the eyes entrusted to him by his good friend Shisui to protect places outside the village.

"I will also find a way to help Kisame get his Samehada back."

Although he planned to return to Konoha, Uchiha Itachi was unwilling to cut off contact with the Akatsuki organization.

"Then please."

Obito looked at Uchiha Itachi with a dark look.

"Let Kisame be in charge of contacting you from now on."

"it is good."

Uchiha Itachi did not refuse. He had already started thinking about how to meet his younger brother Sasuke again in Konoha in the future.

"Did you give him the ointment?"

"Ah."

Hinata lowered her head shyly and touched her index finger with hers.

It seemed that she was very happy that she had just caught up with Uchiha Kage and given him medicine.

"Did you tell him what you were told to tell him?"

"I said it."

Even if Teacher Yuhi Kurenai didn't say it, she would tell Uchiha Kage to be careful and not to be careless.

"I don't know what mission this guy took in the Anbu, hum..."

Kurenai Yuhi is still angry about the Uchiha Kage hiding the truth from her.

However, at the moment, she found that she was still most worried about the other person's safety.

The Anbu isn't a good place to stay...

"Teacher, it seems that these three ninjas from the Hidden Cloud Village are still alive. Do you want to bring them back to Konoha?"

Aburame Shino accidentally discovered the ninjas from the Hidden Cloud Village who had been caught in a trap set by them in the ruins. Although the three guys' faces were burned black by Uchiha Itachi's fire escape, they were unexpectedly tenacious and still had breath.

"They're still alive? Then let's take them back together. They can be considered one of our contributions."

With the Samehada sword and these three ninja captives from the Hidden Cloud Village, Team 8 can't say that their mission has failed.

"It's great to get my girlfriend's care and love before I start my mission."

Moonlight Gale looked at the Uchiha Kage who was still staring at the bow-tied bandage on his hand in a daze, and couldn't help but complain.
