Konoha: I, Uzumaki Sukuna, become stronger when I turn evil!

Upon hearing this, Payne turned around slowly with an expressionless face.

Two figures came forward, one on the left and one on the right, following Konan.

The man on the left had blue hair that stood up like a hedgehog.

His skin color was strange and not human, showing a light blue color.

He carried a huge sword wrapped tightly in white bandages on his back.

On his forehead was a ninja forehead protector from the Hidden Mist Village.

However, there was a scratch in the middle of the ninja forehead protector, as if indicating his identity as a "traitorous ninja".

His small eyes with golden pupils were like "dead fish eyes".

His whole face was like a shark.

On both sides of his cheeks under his eyes were unique shark gills.

Even the teeth that were accidentally exposed were extremely sharp.

He was one of the seven ninja swordsmen from the Hidden Mist Village, and now a member of the Akatsuki organization, codenamed "Nan"!

Look at the man on the right, his steps are light and his face is stern.

He has jet black hair and handsome features.

His eyes are dark and mysterious, and his sharp eyes seem to be able to see through everything.

His eyelashes are long, and there are two obvious tear grooves under his eyes.

The ninja forehead protector on his forehead is also pierced by a scratch.

That is the ninja forehead protector of the Konoha Ninja Village.

He is Uchiha Itachi, who personally destroyed the Uchiha clan, defected from Konoha and joined the Akatsuki organization, codenamed "Zhu"!

Uchiha is one against seven!

Payne looked at Itachi and Kisame who came, and said without any fluctuation in his tone:

"According to the intelligence, Konoha Village has been attacked by a mysterious strong man recently."

"That mysterious strong man not only killed many Konoha ninjas, but also has very special abilities."

After Payne finished speaking, he nodded to Konan beside him.

Konan immediately understood, took out an intelligence document from her bosom and handed it to Itachi.

She went on to explain:

"I got this information from an Anbu who was chasing the mysterious strong man in Konoha."

"It records some of the abilities of the mysterious strong man."

After learning that Konoha was attacked, Pein sent Konan to Konoha to collect intelligence in advance.

Just in the vicinity of Konoha, she met the Anbu who were chasing Uzumaki Sukuna.

After a struggle, she dealt with those Anbu, and then got the information about Uzumaki Sukuna's ability shared by Kakashi.

Hearing this, Itachi carefully checked the information above.

But the more he looked down, the more his brows frowned.

"There is no sign of chakra flow, and the ability to slash without the need for hand seals?"

"Is it a blood limit? Or some secret technique?"

Itachi asked Konan.

Konan shook his head and said:

"So far, there is no more information about the other party."

"Many people in Konoha's Anbu and Root organizations were killed by him because of lack of information."

Hearing this, Kisame took the information from Itachi and checked it out.

After he finished reading it, he grinned, showing his two rows of sharp teeth and said:

"Interesting!"

"Such a cruel way of killing, this guy is also a lunatic."

"So, Pein, you asked me and Mr. Itachi to come here to deal with this guy?"

Pein shook his head, his tone still cold:

"According to the information I got, this mysterious strong man seems to be very interested in the Nine-tailed Jinchuriki."

"Several times of killing, the Nine-tailed Jinchuriki was nearby, but he was not attacked."

"The Nine-tailed Jinchuriki is This is an indispensable step in our plan, and there must be no mistakes. "

At this point, Pein looked at Itachi and then ordered:

"Itachi, you are more familiar with Konoha."

"This time, you and Kisame will team up to investigate the other party's origins."

"If possible, try to recruit him to join the Akatsuki organization."

"Also, if the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki has a chance to take action, you can also bring him back directly."

Such a powerful existence, and it is in a hostile relationship with Konoha, killing people in Konoha unscrupulously.

If possible, Pein also hopes to recruit the other party to join the Akatsuki organization.

After all, the Akatsuki organization just experienced the defection of Orochimaru not long ago, and it is just in need of people.

With such a strong person joining, it will undoubtedly make the Akatsuki organization's subsequent tailed beast capture plan smoother.

As for whether the other party will pose a threat to the Akatsuki organization?

He is very confident in his own strength and is not worried that the other party will have ulterior motives after joining.

Moreover, if Itachi and Kisame go to Konoha this time, there might be a chance to capture the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki.

"I understand."

"I'll leave now."

Itachi agreed, and without saying anything more, he turned around and left.

Seeing this, Kisame followed Itachi silently.

The two quicklyleft the Akatsuki base.

On the way out of the Hidden Rain Village, Kisame couldn't help but ask Itachi curiously:

"Mr. Itachi, I remember you seem to have a younger brother, who stayed in Konoha?"

"Mr. Itachi wiped out the entire Uchiha clan, leaving only your younger brother."

"Presumably... he is also very important to Mr. Itachi?"

"Beep!!"

As soon as Kisame finished his tentative words, Itachi turned his head and his Sharingan opened instantly!

The blood-red eyes and the rotating magatama made Itachi exude a powerful aura.

It seemed that if Kisame dared to ask again, Itachi would do it here without hesitation!

Kisame was stunned for a moment, and closed his mouth very tactfully.

On the other hand, after Itachi withdrew his gaze, his originally calm expression rarely showed some changes.

He secretly said to himself:

"Sasuke..."

"I won't let anyone threaten your safety!"

A hint of murderous intent flashed in his eyes.

He managed to get Sasuke to stay in Konoha and grow up, and he was willing to bear the infamy of being a traitor and destroy the Uchiha clan.

He would never allow anyone to destroy his "hard work".

If that mysterious strong man would threaten Sasuke, he would not mind killing him!

...

Look back to Naruto.

"Knock knock knock!"

"Naruto, it's me!"

Naruto had just returned home and fainted when there was a rapid knock on the door.

It was the Third Hokage!

"Are you sure Naruto is really home?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen saw that there was no response after knocking on the door for so long, so he turned around and asked the Anbu subordinate beside him.

He rushed here because he received a notice from his subordinates.

He was also very curious, how did Naruto, who was supposed to be "missing" again, go home?

"Hokage, the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki is definitely at home!"

"The Anbu people have just confirmed it."

"But he is sleeping on the floor for some reason."

"We dare not act on our own and report to you immediately."

Sarutobi Hiruzen frowned upon hearing this.

Sleeping on the floor?

Is Naruto injured?

"Bang!!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen did not hesitate and kicked the door open violently.

He asked the other Anbu men to stay outside and walked in quickly.

As soon as he walked in, he saw Naruto sleeping on the floor.

The huge sound of kicking the door also woke Naruto up slowly from his coma.

Naruto looked up at Sarutobi Hiruzen, but he was no longer excited about Sarutobi Hiruzen's arrival.

He sat silently by the bed, his eyes seemed to have lost color, and he said nothing.

The whole room was suddenly shrouded in an awkward atmosphere.

The two were silent for a long time, and finally it was Sarutobi Hiruzen who broke the silence first:

"Naruto, you are really in trouble this time!"

"How could you steal the Book of Seals!"

"Where is the Book of Seals?"

When Naruto heard Sarutobi Hiruzen asking about the whereabouts of the Book of Seals, he seemed to have a little more disgust towards the Hokage grandfather whom he trusted the most in the past.

The Book of Seals had long been hidden by Ryomen Sukuna, and he didn't know where it was.

He looked up at Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes and answered with a somewhat cold tone:

"I don't know."

"Mr. Mizuki told me that as long as I can get the Book of Seals, he will let me graduate from the Ninja School."

"After I gave him the Book of Seals, he knocked me out."

Lin Kong in the spiritual world was stunned when he heard Naruto's answer.

But soon, the corners of his mouth also rose slightly, revealing a touch of "satisfied" arc.

He was just preparing to teach Naruto how to deal with Sarutobi Hiruzen!

Unexpectedly, before he could even open his mouth, Naruto took the initiative to lie to Sarutobi Hiruzen for the first time.

"It seems that after this experience, Naruto, who knew the truth, really changed as I thought!"

"Sandaime, Sandaime! You are really a good helper!"

Lin Kong said in his heart, and his smile became even wider.
