Rinnegan? Military Police Force, Get Out Here and Help!
[Shisui Uchiha: "Itachi, I entrusted the Uchiha's future to you. How well have you protected it?"]
[Uchiha Itachi: "..."]
[Mirai Sarutobi: "Uh, so is this footage from the past?"]
[Boruto Uzumaki (young adult): "Is this a story from that time...?"]
[Naruto Uzumaki: "Hey, the person above me, are you my dad?"]
[Boruto Uzumaki (young adult): "?"]
[Hiruzen Sarutobi: "Ahem..."]
At the venue,
little Naruto saw Boruto's profile picture
and noticed that they looked remarkably alike.
Boruto was also a member of the Uzumaki Clan.
As a result,
he actually mistook Boruto for his biological father...
[Naruto Uzumaki: "Waaah, Boruto, you're my long-lost father, right? I finally found you!"]
[Minato Namikaze: "This..."]
Inside the Shinigami's stomach,
Minato watched the chat group screen
and, suppressing his impulse, sent Hiruzen a private message:
[Minato Namikaze: "Third Hokage, what's going on?"]
[Hiruzen Sarutobi: "Minato, Naruto is the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki. I was afraid telling him would have a bad effect..."]
[Minato Namikaze: "I understand. Thank you for taking care of Naruto, Grandpa Third!"]
In the chat group,
[Sakura Haruno: "I never expected Naruto to find his real father..."]
[Naruto Uzumaki: "Yeah, my dad is so handsome..."]
[Boruto Uzumaki (young adult): "Actually..."]
During the reversal period,
Boruto, who had just dealt with the God Tree humans,
watched the chat group screen in silence.
He wanted very much to say that he was actually Naruto's son,
but after thinking it over, he decided against it.
After all, revealing things about the future ahead of time
might have a bad effect...
[Madara Uchiha: "Hmm, this Sasuke looks just like Izuna..."]
[Uchiha Izuna: "Does he look that much like me, big brother?"]
[Uchiha Tajima: "He really does look quite a bit like you..."]
[Uchiha Fugaku: "Lord Madara, this is my youngest son, Sasuke. He's twelve this year. Sasuke..."]
Fugaku sent his son a private message,
telling him not to reveal anything about the Uchiha Clan Massacre.
Although Sasuke was confused, he still did as his father said.
[Sasuke Uchiha: "Hello, Lord Madara, Lord Izuna..."]
[Uchiha Izuna: "Mm, good, good. You're twelve, so you should have awakened the Mitsudomoe by now, right?"]
[Sasuke Uchiha: "I still only have two Tomoe..."]
[Indra: "Two Tomoe isn't bad either."]
The footage on the screen continued playing, but everyone's minds were elsewhere.
After all, when they could chat with their deceased family members,
who would still want to watch a video?
It wasn't as if
Konoha would disappear the very next second, right?
Impossible...
How could a village that big just vanish like that?!
"Another lovely day today..."
A Konoha ninja chuckled softly.
The scene changed.
A flute played intermittently, and the whole scene was filled with warmth.
Hashirama's ideal had been realized, and children no longer had to go to the battlefield.
However, the scene suddenly changed...
Pain appeared on screen
and killed several patrolling ninja without a word!
"Hold them off! I'll go contact Lord Hokage right away!" a Konoha Jonin said anxiously.
Soon,
the two people who had just been holding Pain back were blasted away by an invisible force.
Then,
the Konoha ninja inexplicably found himself flying high in the air
and was killed outright by Pain...
When the video reached this point, everyone was stunned.
[Ōnoki: "What's going on...?"]
[Mizukage Mei Terumi: "His eyes, are those Sharingan?"]
[Otsutsuki Toneri: "No, they're Rinnegan. What powerful ocular power..."]
[Fourth Raikage A: "Rinnegan? Don't those only exist in fairy tales?"]
[Fourth Kazekage Rasa: "This is absurd. What kind of ability is that? Those Konoha ninja just disappeared like that?"]
[Jiraiya: "Yahiko, why do you have Nagato's eyes?"]
[Nagato Uzumaki: "Master Jiraiya, I'll achieve peace in my own way..."]
[Deidara: "Wait, isn't that our boss?"]
[Hidan: "I didn't expect it to be the boss. From the look of things, is he invading Konoha to capture the Nine-Tails?"]
The footage continued.
"It's finally about to begin..."
Pain's gaze was especially cold.
At that moment,
five figures leaped down from high above.
Every one of them had Rinnegan!
"We'll split into two groups, one to launch a diversionary attack and the other to search. The Asura Path, Animal Path, and Demon Path will handle the diversion."
"The Deva Path, Human Path, and Naraka Path will handle the search. Konan, you'll search too."
"Understood."
After giving his orders,
Pain activated the Rinnegan's sensory ability
and quickly detected Konoha's barrier.
He planned to throw the Animal Path into Konoha from above,
then use the Animal Path to perform the Summoning Technique.
Without further ado, he said coldly:
"From this moment on, let the world feel pain!"
The Animal Path flew high into the air and swiftly broke through the barrier.
Konoha's sensory team spotted this, their faces anxious.
Only one intruder?
The Animal Path plummeted from high above,
rapidly formed Hand Seals, and slapped both hands against the ground.
With a bang, a great cloud of smoke rose.
"Scatter!" the Deva Path ordered.
Everyone quickly scattered in all directions.
The Asura Path pried open his arm and promptly fired a barrage of missiles.
The missiles struck the surrounding buildings.
Boom, boom, boom!!
Violent explosions rang out one after another, accompanied by showers of sparks.
The Animal Path formed Hand Seals.
Three enormous centipedes emerged from the smoke,
rampaging through the surrounding terrain.
The Demon Path casually absorbed a ninja's Fire Release Ninjutsu,
his gaze icy,
and knocked the Konoha ninja to the ground in an instant!
[Hashirama Senju: "Wait, what's going on?"]
[Ōnoki: "...Konoha's being invaded. I don't know why, but I love watching this!!"]
[Mizukage Mei Terumi: "Seeing Konoha under attack feels great to me too!!"]
[Fourth Kazekage Rasa: "I think it feels great too..."]
[Hiruzen Sarutobi: "Lord Kazekage?"]
["Fourth Kazekage Rasa retracted a message."]
[Orochimaru: "Ahem..."]
In the Hokage's office,
Hiruzen looked at the messages in the chat group,
his eyes narrowing slightly.
He sensed something was amiss, but didn't think too deeply about it...
It couldn't be...
Could this Kazekage be his student Orochimaru?
Surely he was overthinking it...
[Tobirama Senju: "So this is what the Rinnegan can do? It can absorb Ninjutsu, but..."]
[Second Mizukage Gengetsu Hozuki: "The Rinnegan seems a little less impressive now. How can there be as many as six of them?"]
[Uchiha Tekka: "Damn it, if our Uchiha Clan were still in Konoha..."]
[Shisui Uchiha: "What exactly happened, Itachi? How is the Uchiha Clan doing in Konoha? Are they still getting along?"]
[Uchiha Itachi: "Shisui, the situation is rather complicated..."]
[Uchiha Izuna: "What happened to the Uchiha, anyway?"]
[Uchiha Fugaku: "..."]
[Tobirama Senju: "Why hasn't the Military Police Force shown up in the video yet? They're far too slow at their job!!!"]
[Shimura Danzō: "..."]
