I Want to Complete Our Revenge in Yahiko's Name...

Konoha Ninja Academy.

This year's graduates have all been assigned to different classes.

Twelve-year-old Naruto Uzumaki was somewhat happy about being assigned to Team 7.

Because one of his teammates is his good friend Sasuke Uchiha, and the other teammate is the pink-haired girl Sakura Haruno whom he likes.

Sasuke Uchiha didn't seem to care much about his teammates, and he was in a good mood when he saw Naruto Uzumaki.

After all, he had been training with Naruto Uzumaki all along.

As for Sakura Haruno Sakura Haruno, she would sometimes look at Sasuke Uchiha with a hint of happiness, and other times look at Naruto Uzumaki with a touch of envy, because she also knew about Naruto Uzumaki's background.

This guy is really lucky. He was originally hated by everyone in the village, but it was revealed that his deceased parents were heroes in the village, which made many people change their opinion of Naruto Uzumaki.

Many ninjas even felt more sorry for Naruto Uzumaki out of guilt.

Some people did question the village's higher-ups' concealment of Naruto Uzumaki's background, but the Konoha High Command didn't respond much to this, because their understanding was quite simplistic.

The son of the Hokage, the son of a hero.

These halos mean nothing to Naruto Uzumaki.

The village's higher-ups always subconsciously ignore Naruto Uzumaki's age, judging a twelve-year-old child's experiences by the standards of their own decades of life.

These ninjas, who had experienced many painful pasts, did not believe that it was rare for a child to have such a hard life in the Shinobi World.

Every Jinchuriki is like this.

Even the orphans in every village are like this.

Ninjas always have to go through a lot of pain, stumbling and getting battered and bruised as they overcome all difficulties, eventually breaking through all the obstacles to become an excellent ninja.

At least that's what Jiraiya thought.

As an orphan who lost his parents in the war at a young age, Jiraiya's upbringing was also quite harsh, because Konoha's various measures at that time were not perfect.

Now that Jiraiya fifty years old, he has at least achieved a certain level of success as one of the Konoha's Sannin of Konoha. Looking back on his childhood, it is just a bit of a relief. In fact, the hardships he experienced in his childhood are nothing compared to the other human tragedies he has witnessed in the Shinobi World.

In Jiraiya's Jiraiya, Naruto Uzumaki's life was nothing more than a drop in the ocean.

In some ways, the suffering Naruto Uzumaki endured was less than that of Kakashi Hatake, the Naruto Uzumaki led Jonin's team.

Kakashi Hatake's life was truly full of thorns. He constantly gained important things and then lost them, as if fate had destined him to be all alone in his life.

When Shirou Emiya heard Jiraiya's theory, he disagreed with Jiraiya's views. "You all seem to think that suffering is not a bad thing."

"Is there anything wrong with this?"

Jiraiya somewhat confused by Shirou Emiya's idea, and couldn't help but scratch his head: "But that's just how life is—"

"But Shirou Emiya looked at the medical ninja way he had left to this world engraved in the Konoha Hospital and said softly, "The meaning of Chakra's existence should be to make people no longer suffer."

"I see."

Jiraiya immediately understood Shirou Emiya's meaning, but recalling the story of the Child of Prophecy, he sighed softly, "But Naruto isn't one of those ordinary people who don't have to suffer. Naruto is the one who can change the world and free people from suffering."

Just like the Jonin and Genin of Konoha Village.

The tasks and difficulties that Jonin and Genin need to undertake are always different, and even the mortality rate fluctuates greatly at different times.

There will always be different people doing different things in this world.

As one of the Jiraiya Konoha's Sannin, Jiraiya also had his own mission: to guide Naruto Uzumaki to become someone who would no longer cause suffering to the world.

"Tsunade."

"I want to leave Konoha."

Jiraiya glanced at Tsunade, who was reclining on a chair at Konoha Hospital writing on a scroll, and said in a deep voice, "I want to investigate Orochimaru's matter—"

Just.

This period is a lull.

Since Naruto Uzumaki had just become a ninja, he needed some time to learn some basic knowledge about the daily life of a ninja from his Jonin leader Kakashi Hatake. This also gave Kakashi a break to secretly investigate Orochimaru.

In fact.

This is not a request for opinions.

It was Jiraiya informing Tsunade, his companion.

Before Jiraiya told Tsunade, he had already discussed this issue privately with the Third Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi. Sarutobi Hiruzen did not reject Jiraiya's actions, but only asked him to return before the Chunin Exams in the second half of the year.

After all·

The Chunin Exams the second half of the year are a big event.

That Chunin Exams will be an exam in which allies of Konoha participate.

Sarutobi Hiruzen desperately wanted both of his disciples present, so that at least three Kage-level powerhouses could keep all his treacherous allies in check.

But.

This Chunin Exams is destined to be anything but peaceful.

Because many people have their eyes on this exam, and some have even been secretly trying to stir things up and create a major incident during the exam.

Rice Country.

Inside Orochimaru's base.

After Yakushi Kabuto brought back the Uzumaki Clan's mask, Orochimaru sacrificed the life of one of his subordinates, using the mask to communicate with the Death Reaper of the Underworld and release the souls of the Second Hokage Tobirama Senju, and the Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze.

"Almost."

"It's time to take action."

Orochimaru had three different ingredients on his table.

These materials are the cells of the First Hokage, Hashirama Senju, the remains of the Second Hokage Tobirama Senju, and the Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze.

Now.-·

Their souls are all in the Underworld.

Now·

Their physical remains are all here.

Even·-

The offerings for their resurrection have been prepared.

"The First Hokage, the Second Hokage, and the Fourth Hokage— "

Orochimaru licked his lips with satisfaction, narrowing his eyes as he looked at Obito Uchiha beside him. "Now that everything is ready, all we need to do is find the most opportune moment to reveal Shirou Emiya's true colors to Konoha and force the three Hokage to join forces to eliminate the threat Shirou Emiya to the Shinobi World—."

Exactly.

The joint Chunin Exams Konoha were an opportunity.

This was an opportunity for them to secretly infiltrate Konoha and make their plans at their leisure, as long as Emiya Tsuchihara was present.

They can cause a huge mess!

Furthermore, Obito Uchiha also brought some news!

Due to the large scale of this Chunin Exams, Konoha's ally Hidden Sand Village, as well as some smaller villages such as Waterfall Village and Hidden Rain Village, will participate in this Chunin Exams.

"A piece of news that could be good or bad."

A cold smile appeared on Obito Uchiha's lips, "The previous leader of Hidden Rain Village, Salamander Hanzo, was killed, and Hidden Rain Village is now under the control of Nagato and the others—"

"Although I don't know what Nagato is thinking, according to the intelligence I received from the Akatsuki, Nagato plans to take advantage of the Chunin Exams to infiltrate Konoha disguised as a participant and assassinate Salamander Hanzo, who once joined forces with Hanzo of the Shimura Danzo them."

"!!!"

Orochimaru's gaze suddenly froze.

This news

They really don't know what's good or bad!

If that's the case, they could even force Shirou Emiya to take action by targeting Nagato, thus completely exposing his true colors.

At that time...

Shirou Emiya is definitely the public enemy of the Shinobi World!

Certainly.

This also carries certain risks.

Because Shirou Emiya's strength is already strong enough!

Now that Nagato, this battle needs to be carefully planned.

After all, facing Shirou Emiya and Nagato, both users of the Rinnegan, Orochimaru had to consider the risk of things going wrong if they escalated the situation too much. However, Obito Uchiha certainly didn't care about the risks.

This guy has always been a madman. He believes he has endured long enough, and he also possesses the invincible power of the Kamui Mangekyo Sharingan.

"Our chances are slim."

Obito Uchiha had no choice but to remind Orochimaru again, hoping that Orochimaru would understand the predicament they faced. "It could even be said that the opportunity is fleeting—"

Don't forget.

"To deal with Shirou Emiya— "

"The three Hokage you Impure World Reincarnation are so powerful that they will inevitably spiral out of control—"

"If we don't start a war against Shirou Emiya in Konoha, the three out-of-control Hokage might not be willing to lend a hand—."

"Rest assured."

Orochimaru chuckled and nodded, then a cold glint gradually appeared in his snake-like eyes. "I need to make some careful plans."

"Must."

"Absolutely foolproof."

"After all, if we choose to openly betray that important figure but are unable to deal with him, we will face his wrath in the future."

Hidden Rain Village.

This is a village built of reinforced concrete.

At the highest point of this village, Pain, Nagato, and Konan lived, and they discussed the joint Chunin Exams Konoha.

Besides.·

The mission to Shimura Danzo in Konoha.

"Nagato".

Konan took a deep breath, disapproving of their rashly taking risks at this time. "Isn't it a bit too dangerous for us to do this now?"

Konan frowned and softly reminded him, "What we need to do now is wait for time. After the Three-Tails is resurrected, we can follow Lord Shirou to carry out the plan to collect the Tailed Beast, and then we will no longer have to worry about the peace of the Shinobi World."

"Konan".

Pain's gaze swept across the village in the rainy night, and he said coldly, "Haven't you realized a problem yet?"

"Peace in the Shinobi World—."

Nagato stood beside Pain and said gently, "Lord Shirou has already shouldered this heavy destiny; there's really no need for us to do anything more—"

Now·-·

With Shirou Emiya and Nagato already in the picture, there's no longer a need for Pain to become a god.

Now·

Nagato was just an ordinary ninja.

He even believed that Pain was just like Yahiko when he was alive; they, along with Konan, were ordinary ninjas.

They are still the same three-person team they used to be.

In the life plan of an ordinary ninja, there must be revenge for the past.

"This is a task I volunteered to take on."

Pain replied coldly, "According to the information Black Zetsu sent a few days ago, Lord Shirou has been looking for an opportunity in Konoha to eliminate Shimura Danzo, who knows the secrets of Akatsuki."

"But-""

"I'd rather kill him with my own hands."

"This time, we will not carry out our revenge as Pain, but as Yahiko."

Not in the name of God.

It was in the name of his former close friend, Yahiko.
