Naruto: I Sell Jars in Konoha Village.

Chapter 217 Pain: From today onwards, I will hunt down Obito Uchiha with all my might! Itachi Uchiha

"I feel like the atmosphere in the village has been strange ever since I came back this time."

After leaving the Akatsuki base, Kisame Hoshigaki looked at Itachi Uchiha beside him and said with a hearty laugh, "Mr. Itachi, how about we go get some dumplings?"

"No, you go ahead."

Upon hearing Kisame Hoshigaki's words, Itachi Uchiha gently shook his head.

I also need to investigate the situation in the village myself.

"it is good."

Kisame Hoshigaki nodded upon hearing Itachi's words.

He then left.

Meanwhile, the Uchiha clan launched an investigation directly within Amegakure.

Before long, Itachi Uchiha learned the general situation.

"Appeared today?"

"That's strange. A giant crystal-like serpent—why haven't I seen this kind of summoned beast before?"

Itachi Uchiha frowned, finding the information he had obtained strange no matter how he looked at it.

"Never mind, I'll send a message back in another month."

"The Chunin Exams are coming up, it's a pity I won't be able to watch them."

Uchiha Itachi stood on a high point in Amegakure, gazing up at the distant sky, but his heart remained restless.

Sasuke's image would occasionally appear in his mind.

That younger brother is now working hard on his path to growth in Konoha Village.

However, he could only watch from afar and could not offer any direct help.

Uchiha Itachi gazed intently in the direction of Konoha, his mind filled with countless thoughts.

He understood that Sasuke's path to growth was destined to be fraught with difficulties.

But he believes that his younger brother will eventually find his own path.

My job is to send the intelligence from here back.

We should also gather information about what happened in Amegakure today and send it back.

With that in mind, Itachi Uchiha went back to his residence first.

He wrote down the missions he had carried out during this period, as well as the intelligence he had gathered from other countries, in preparation for sending a message back to Konoha.

Time slips away quietly like this.

Four days passed in the blink of an eye, and members of the organization returned one after another, having thoroughly sorted out all the intelligence.

"Boom!"

Just as Itachi was about to leave Amegakure, a deafening roar instantly tore apart the sky above Amegakure.

The enormous sound seemed to come from the sky, shaking the entire Rain Village.

The sound startled many ninjas and residents of Rain Village, who looked up and around in surprise, trying to find the source of the sound.

"What happened?"

"It's coming from the tower."

"What happened?"

For a moment, whispers of surprise and uncertainty filled the street.

The people of Rain Village looked at each other, their expressions filled with fear and unease.

The once orderly Rain Village was thrown into turmoil in an instant.

One by one, the Rain Village ninjas quickly gathered towards the tower.

"It's from the base."

Itachi Uchiha stood by the window, his brows furrowed.

He could clearly feel the powerful chakra fluctuations, and without the slightest hesitation, Uchiha Itachi immediately set off.

When the Uchiha arrived at the top of the tower, they were met with a tense situation.

On top of the tower, many members of the Akatsuki organization had gathered together, each with an expression of bewilderment and shock.

In the middle, Payne and Konan are facing the masked man, "Afei".

The atmosphere between them was tense, as if a fight could break out at any moment.

Seeing this, Itachi Uchiha narrowed his eyes, his Sharingan quickly capturing every subtle change in the scene, but he couldn't immediately understand the reason for the conflict.

"What exactly happened?"

It looks like it was Konan and Pain who attacked Tobi?

Meanwhile, Deidara stood not far away, looking bewildered, his eyes filled with confusion and incomprehension.

He and Scorpion had just returned to base after completing their mission.

Before he could even process his thoughts, he was met with an attack from the leader, Payne, upon returning here.

And the target of the attack wasn't him, it was another guy, Afei!

This guy is already considered a prospective member of Akatsuki, but he doesn't have a ring yet and is currently under observation by Akatsuki.

Sometimes Scorpion doesn't have time to go on missions with me, and this guy will help me out.

It's called "assistance," but in reality, it means doing nothing and just following along.

This sudden turn of events left him somewhat bewildered.

Although he and Ah Fei weren't particularly close, he never expected things to turn out this way.

At this moment, Pain's expression was icy, his Rinnegan eyes flashing with overwhelming majesty, and his hand was ready to strike at any moment.

Konan stood beside Pain, her expression equally solemn, her gaze fixed on Tobi.

"Hey, hey, hey, why did you suddenly attack me, Chief? Isn't that going too far?"

Despite being watched by Konan and Payne, Afei showed no fear whatsoever, instead letting out strange cries.

"Payne, what's going on?"

At this moment, Deidara couldn't help but ask loudly.

However, no response was received.

Pain and Konan's gazes remained fixed on Obito Uchiha, as if waiting for some opportunity. Other Akatsuki members also gathered around, each with a complex expression, completely unaware of the cause of this confrontation.

It would be too strange for a leader to suddenly take action against this guy, Afei.

Kisame Hoshigaki and Itachi Uchiha, in particular, couldn't help but squint their eyes.

Isn't this guy Uchiha Madara?

Kisame Hoshigaki, in particular, looked at Obito Uchiha with a suspicious expression.

He was invited by this person, who even used his Sharingan to confirm Kisame's identity.

Kisame agreed with his "Eye of the Moon" plan and joined Akatsuki without hesitation, becoming Samehada's new master.

Unexpectedly, this guy has now been attacked by Konan and Pain from the Akatsuki.

Kisame Hoshigaki was dumbfounded.

As for the one who was even more confused, itachi Uchiha was the one who was most bewildered.

As far as he knew, this organization was established because of Uchiha Madara.

Why would Pain and Konan attack this person first?

While Kisame Hoshigaki and Itachi Uchiha were deep in thought, Pain looked at Obito Uchiha and said coldly, "Uchiha brat, you've been hiding among us long enough."

Upon hearing this, Obito Uchiha's mask tilted slightly, his voice low and surprised: "Huh? Uchiha brat? You mean me?"

He truly hadn't expected Payne to say something like that.

Did they find out his identity?

That's impossible.

The moment Obito Uchiha finished speaking, Pain gave him no further chances, unleashing a powerful burst of chakra and launching the terrifying Shinra Tensei in an instant.

"boom!"

As Payne waved his hands, the surrounding air suddenly tightened, as if the entire space was distorted in an instant, bursting out with an invisible and enormous repulsive force!

All nearby objects were thrown away, the ground shook, and the walls cracked.

"Shinra Tensei!"

Payne uttered those four words coldly, his voice piercing everyone's ears like ice.

The air in front of Obito Uchiha suddenly exploded, his body was violently blasted back by the power of Shinra Tensei, the ground beneath his feet cracked instantly, and he was blasted several meters away, crashing heavily into the wall of the tower.

Despite this, Obito maintained a calm expression.

Although his mask covered his face, his still-steady posture suggested that the attack had not been fatal.

"Obito Uchiha, your identity has been exposed."

Payne's voice was cold and firm, and the Rinnegan in his eyes shone brightly, as if he could see through everything.

These words echoed throughout the tower like a thunderclap, and the Akatsuki members widened their eyes instantly, their expressions shifting from shock to disbelief.

Obito Uchiha was also stunned for a moment, a look of surprise flashing in his eyes, his heart pounding wildly.

How is that possible!

How did Payne know his true identity?

Various thoughts flashed through Obito Uchiha's mind as he tried to figure out who had leaked all of this.

Meanwhile, Uchiha Itachi and Hoshigaki Kisame, who were far away, heard the name "Uchiha Obito" the moment...

His expression changed drastically in an instant.

Itachi Uchiha frowned, his eyes revealing a deep disbelief.

He originally thought Tobi was Madara Uchiha, but it turns out he was Obito.

He wasn't unaware of the name.

Kisame Hoshigaki also showed a shocked expression.

Even the usually composed man could not hide his astonishment at this moment.

He never imagined that this carefree and irresponsible Tobi would actually be Uchiha Obito!

"boom!"

However, before they could react, Payne and Konan had already launched their attack.

Konan's paper transformed into countless sharp blades, sweeping towards Uchiha Obito like a storm.

Pain's eyes flashed with the light of the Rinnegan, and powerful chakra surged, unleashing an incredibly terrifying sense of oppression, even the air seemed to distort under his power.

"You brat from the Uchiha clan, you deserve to die!"

Payne's voice was as cold as a knife, filled with endless killing intent.

However, the next second, Obito's figure swayed slightly, and his entire body suddenly became intangible.

His body seemed to vanish into nothingness, allowing Payne and Konan's attacks to penetrate him without leaving a single scratch.

"really."

Payne remained unfazed by what he saw.

He already knew about this guy's abilities.

The reason we fought with Xiao Nan this time was to test how long this guy could maintain this state.

Obito Uchiha, now intangible, stood rooted to the spot, letting the attacks pass through his body, and thought with a headache, "No wonder they attacked me."

"Although I don't know how you know my identity, can you really kill me? This is troublesome."

Obito Uchiha truly didn't expect that Pain would actually call out his name.

And it's his real identity.

Pain's expression remained cold in response to Obito Uchiha's words. He raised his hands again, and terrifying gravitational and repulsive forces surged between his palms.

Konan didn't give up either. She spread her wings, and the paper scraps behind her surged towards Obito like a wave. But no matter how she attacked, Obito remained unharmed.

Terrifying explosions rang out one after another from the tower.

"Boom!"

The sounds of battle atop the tower roared like thunder, echoing throughout the entire Rain Village.

The terrifying power fluctuations, accompanied by the sound of explosions, shook the surrounding buildings, as if even the earth was trembling. The people on the streets of Amegakure were filled with fear, none of them daring to approach, and could only look at the tower from afar.

An astonishing battle was erupting over there; they couldn't imagine what kind of powerful ninja could create such a commotion.

"What exactly happened?"

"A villager asked in a low voice, his eyes filled with fear."

"That is where God resides."

Someone whispered, their hands trembling slightly, "How could there be such a huge commotion? Surely the god won't be in trouble?"

The raindrops pattered on the ground, making a rapid "drip-drip" sound, and the whole village seemed to be enveloped in some unknown sense of oppression.

No one dared to approach the tower; everyone could only watch from afar.

Some people even began to rush away from the area, fearing they would be caught up in this invisible disaster.

at the same time.

Lin Mo and Tian Tian, ​​who were walking on the street, were also drawn to this scene.

The two walked out of the jar shop and strolled around the food and beverage shops in Rain Village. When they saw this commotion, they stopped and looked up in the direction of the tower.

Tian Tian frowned, her face full of surprise: "What happened? How could there be such a commotion?"

It looks like... there are powerful ninjas fighting?

Lin Mo rubbed his chin, his expression strange, and he had a vague guess in his mind.

Such a fierce battle clearly indicates that Payne was involved.

His earlier wish has actually come true.

Konan and Nagato attacked Obito without holding back.

However, as far as he knew, Obito Uchiha at this time did not seem to have joined the Akatsuki organization as the masked man, nor did he appear in the Akatsuki organization.

What information is incorrect?

Obito Uchiha officially appeared in the Akatsuki organization as Tobi, even though he joined as a newcomer after Sasori's death.

But Nagato had previously asked him about Obito Uchiha.

This proves that Obito Uchiha, wearing a mask, has already appeared in the Akatsuki organization.

Somewhat strange.

Although he had long anticipated that Nagato would make a move against Obito Uchiha, he did not expect the battle to take place so openly on the tower of Amegakure.

With Nagato and Konan's current strength, they are no match for Obito Uchiha.

The blurring effect alone is a real headache.

As Lin Mo was thinking this.

The massive explosion and chakra fluctuations from the tower continued for quite some time without ending.

The surrounding villagers became even more panicked, and some began rushing home, fearing that the battle would affect them.

Seeing this, Lin Mo gently shook his head: "Let's go back first."

Regardless, it has nothing to do with him.

"hold head high."

Upon hearing Lin Mo's words, Tian Tian immediately followed suit.

time flies.

Not long after that.

The battle on the tower gradually subsided, and the deafening explosions finally stopped.

The once noisy sky gradually returned to tranquility.

The rain continued to fall silently, as if concealing all the chaos and turmoil within a curtain of rain.

At the top of the tower, Payne stood there with an icy expression, his Rinnegan eyes radiating a chilling aura.

Xiao Nan remained in a fighting stance, her wings fluttering slightly in the rain, with scraps of paper scattered around her.

Not far away, Obito Uchiha's ethereal figure slowly appeared.

He remained standing unharmed, still wearing the spiral mask on his face.

Despite the fierce attacks from Payne and Konan, he remained calm and composed, showing no sign of panic.

"You guys really have no patience."

Obito Uchiha's voice rang out coldly, a hint of sarcasm coming through his mask: "However, even if you know my identity, it won't change anything. I will come back."

As soon as he finished speaking, Obito Uchiha's figure blurred again.

With a ripple, Obito Uchiha quickly disappeared from the tower, vanishing completely from the sight of Amegakure.

Payne stood there, a complex emotion flashing in his eyes.

Even when Xiao Nan and I fought, we couldn't actually do any damage to this guy.

This ability is simply outrageous.

I just don't know if the shop owner knows about this guy's abilities.

I think so.

After all, they even knew information about Obito Uchiha.

I need to ask Lin Mo next time I open the jar.

Thinking of this, Pain coldly looked at the Akatsuki members behind him and said in a deep voice, "From today onwards, Obito Uchiha's true identity has been exposed. He is a ninja from Konoha Village and a former member of the Uchiha clan."

"This news must spread throughout the Five Great Nations as soon as possible. All Akatsuki members must begin a full-scale manhunt for Uchiha Obito from this moment on!"

"All subsequent plans are cancelled and are currently suspended."

Upon hearing Pain's words, the Akatsuki members present exchanged glances.

"By the way, who is Obito Uchiha?"

Deidara scratched his head in frustration: "I've never heard of this name before."

Does the Uchiha clan have such a guy?

"Information about Obito will be sent to you later; you can look into it yourselves."

Upon hearing Deidara's words, Konan said in a deep voice, "Now, this guy is a traitor to Akatsuki. That's all, meeting adjourned."

After saying that, Konan and Payne turned and left.

"That's incredible news!"

Kisame Hoshigaki scratched his head with a sigh: "I thought this guy was Madara Uchiha, but I never expected him to be just a brat from the Uchiha clan. Even the leader said so, does that mean this guy isn't even older than me?"

"That's strange. Even if it was Obito Uchiha, the Akatsuki would have been able to tolerate him, right?"

Deidara was utterly bewildered: "Why did the leader and Konan attack this guy? What heinous crime did he commit? It's not like our organization doesn't have members of the Uchiha clan."

As he spoke, Deidara glanced suspiciously at Itachi Uchiha.

This guy is also from the Uchiha clan.

In Deidara's opinion, Obito Uchiha was just impersonating someone else, and there was no need for the leader and Konan to be so angry.

Isn't Akatsuki an inclusive organization?

"Clearly, something happened that we don't know about."

Kakuzu said, "Regardless, let's get this message out first, although I don't think it'll be of much use, since I've never even heard of this guy."

What he didn't understand was why Konan and Pain wanted to spread Obito Uchiha's information to the Five Great Nations.

What incredible thing did this guy do?

While everyone was talking, Itachi Uchiha suddenly turned around, a cold light appearing in his eyes.

Everything that happened today was completely unexpected for him.

If he remembered correctly, Obito Uchiha was Minato Namikaze's student.
