I want to be the man behind the scenes (Being the man behind the scenes since Hokage)

"I'll go back to the base first."

After Payne and Naraku Uehara finished talking, he warned in a cold voice: "Uehara, you should also return to Akatsuki's base immediately. Don't let your teacher worry."

After saying that, Payne dispelled the channeling and dissipated into smoke.

Because Tendo Pain is too far away from Nagato, the chakra in Tendo Pain's body has been almost exhausted after releasing two pupil techniques.

If Nagato's chakra transmission cannot be obtained, Tendo Payne will not be of much use, and there is no point in staying here.

It's better to go back as soon as possible and get information from Uchiha Itachi.

Naraku Uehara didn't stop either. He channeled Payne, only to let Uchiha Obito, who was hiding in the secret and snooping, recognize the fact that his identity as an actor had been stripped away.

Uchiha Obito should have realized the truth now, right?

The only pity is that Orochimaru sneaked away.

Now that the matter is over, Naraku Uehara left the Kingdom of Water with Kisame Mikigaki, Mangetsu Kito and Haku and others and embarked on the road home.

After everyone leaves.

A shadowy place in the forest.

The figure of the mysterious masked man was revealed, and he muttered to himself melancholy: "It's a miscalculation. Can that kid actually channel Payne?"

My identity is about to be completely exposed

But the mysterious masked man had already prepared for the worst.

If Nagato wants to kick him away and start collecting tailed beasts on his own, it is simply impossible, because only Zetsu can collect information on tailed beasts.

This exposure of his identity only affects his status and image, and does not prevent him from continuing the Eye of the Moon project.

Not all is lost with the mysterious masked man.

He suspected that Orochimaru had noticed his identity and leaked it to Kakashi. Who made Orochimaru appear in the Kingdom of Water for no reason?

Due to emotions and reasons, Orochimaru is the most likely candidate.

"Forget it, I can only give up blocking messages."

The light in the mysterious masked man's eyes flashed away, and a time and space vortex appeared behind him, pulling him into the vortex.

Rain country.

Akatsuki's base.

Payne dispelled Uehara's psychic technique and just returned here when he saw Konan with a worried look.

After Konan, Kakuto, and Uchiha Itachi recruited Hidan, they returned to Akatsuki's base in the past two days.

"Nagato, is there something wrong with your body?"

"No, it's Uehara."

Payne shook his head and said with a gloomy expression: "Maybe we can find out the truth 12 years ago. Let's control Itachi Uchiha first. We must not let him escape."

"what happened"

"The man who calls himself Uchiha Madara is a ninja named Obito. He is most likely a Konoha spy who wants to take advantage of us."

Payne's face looked ugly, and he continued in a deep voice: "Uehara discovered his true identity and is being hunted by him."

"I'm going to save Uehara"

Xiaonan opened the paper wings behind her and was about to leave here.

Tendo Payne stopped her and explained in a low voice: "Don't worry, Uehara happened to meet Orochimaru over there, and I have already helped him solve it; he is protected by three Ninja Seven people, so there should be no problem."

"Then let's go see Uchiha Itachi first."

Pieces of origami were flying around Xiaonan's body, and her voice was cold as she said, "Get the information from him."

Since Uehara has not returned yet, Uchiha Itachi has no new teammates yet, so he cannot go out to perform missions. He just sits by the lake outside the base and thinks about life.

A group of paper butterflies suddenly landed in front of him, converging into a blue-haired woman standing on the lake, making ripples.

Xiaonan looked at him, frowned slightly and said: "Does the famous Weasel who destroyed the clan also have anything to worry about?"

"Senior Xiaonan, is something wrong?"

Uchiha Itachi was feeling a little depressed. He just wanted to sit quietly for a while and didn't really want to talk to the woman in front of him.

Konan didn't care about his mood, and just asked in a cold voice: "Itachi Uchiha, you are a rebel ninja of Konoha. Have you ever heard of the name Obito when you were in Konoha?"

"Soil"

Uchiha Itachi remembered a funeral he had attended a long time ago, raised his head in confusion, and added the complete name in Konan's mouth: "Uchiha Obito"

Konan frowned slightly, carefully observing Uchiha Itachi's expression, and was a little surprised when he saw that he didn't show any abnormality.

Uchiha Itachi doesn’t know the identity of the masked man either

Konan continued to ask in a deep voice: "You are all of the same race. You should know the person named Uchiha Obito, right?"

"Um"

Uchiha Itachi lowered his head and just looked at the lake and replied softly: "Uchiha Obito was killed in the Third Ninja War. Because his body could not be found, he was the only one who was not buried in the Konoha Memorial Monument. hero."

"Oh"

Xiaonan nodded with interest: "Keep talking."

Judging from Uchiha Itachi's words alone, the probability that the mysterious masked man is Uchiha Obito is at least [-] to [-]%.

However, judging from Uchiha Itachi's expression, it seems that he still doesn't know the true identity of the mysterious masked man.

If you think about it this way, Uchiha Itachi may not be a Konoha spy. After all, he killed the entire Uchiha clan.

""

Uchiha Itachi looked at Konan with some confusion. The Uchiha Obito was already dead, so he still asked him to continue talking.

What else is there to say?

Do you want to tell me about Obito’s life?

Why did a person who died long ago arouse Xiaonan's interest?

Uchiha Itachi carefully observed Konan's expression and continued softly: "It is said that Uchiha Obito's grades were not very good. Perhaps it was for this reason that when the Konoha ninjas were assigned to graduate, Obito was arranged to be with the best student at that time. The talented ninja Hatake Kakashi was divided into a team and became the disciple of the Fourth Hokage."

A story about the tail of a crane was narrated from the mouth of Itachi Uchiha.

The news Uchiha Itachi heard from other people in his family, coupled with his own understanding and polishing, created a positive growth story of a crane tail who eventually became a hero of Konoha.

Konan couldn't help but look sideways when she heard this. She didn't expect that Uchiha Itachi had a talent for telling stories.

The ninja stories told by Itachi Uchiha were much more beautiful than those told by Jiraiya.

The story of the Strong and Perseverant Ninja written by Jiraiya is nothing like that. It’s so obscure that it’s hard to read. It’s really not as good as Uchiha Itachi’s story.

"In the end, Uchiha Obito became the hero of Konoha and was buried in a foreign country. The talented ninja Hatake Kakashi, who carried the will of his comrades, also used the Sharingan given by his old friend to achieve the Sharingan Kakashi. honor."

This story is not a leak, much of it is already known, and is a story about spreading the Will of Fire.

After Uchiha Itachi told this story, he was even moved by Obito in the story. He slowly turned his head and looked at the well-rested female ninja, feeling a little puzzled in his heart.

Isn't his story nice?

Didn't the will of fire spread to Xiaonan's heart?

"It's over"

Konan's brows furrowed. If she hadn't known that the mysterious masked man was Uchiha Obito, she might actually have some admiration for him.

"Um"

Uchiha Itachi's expression was a bit unpleasant, and he felt that this woman was a little hopeless: "Senior Konan, why are you interested in Uchiha Obito's affairs?"

Xiaonan did not answer his words, but just opened the paper wings behind her and said coldly: "Come with me, Payne wants to see you."
