Six Paths of Pain!

The snow on the branches trembled slightly as it fell, and two dark figures appeared on a pipe.

"Teacher Yoru, a battle took place here, but all traces of the battle have been destroyed. We can only see traces of a large Summoning Beast and the explosive marks from the detonation of Explosive Tag."

Faced with the battle traces that had long since been buried and destroyed, the meticulous Uchiha Itachi calmly began to analyze the situation, while Uchiha Yoru looked up and calmly gazed at the treetops opposite him.

Only then did Uchiha Itachi notice his teacher's movement when he looked up. He immediately followed the gaze and his eyes narrowed.

Surprisingly! He couldn't sense the slightest presence. Instead, he saw a figure from the Konoha Anbu crouching on a treetop, their cold eyes fixed on them.

"The Fire Temple Elder was ambushed on his way to the Daimyo's Mansion's residence. The attackers were very cautious and left no clues."

The Anbu on the treetop calmly reported their intelligence, while Uchiha Yoru cautiously surveyed his surroundings. In his eyes, he noticed three other Anbu members examining the details, as if trying to uncover some information.

"The elders of the Fire Temple are quite powerful, and given that they were on their way to pay homage to the Daimyo's Mansion, their entourage should have been elite. But judging from the situation, it seems there were no survivors, and moreover!"

At this point, Uchiha Yoru's Divine Pursuer turned serious. "There are several routes from the Fire Temple to the Daimyo's Mansion, including both water and land routes. The Fire Temple chooses a different route each time, and no one knows the details."

"The only place where they meet is Tanzaku City, but the ninja monks of the Fire Temple were ambushed before they even reached Tanzaku City, so it's highly likely that their intelligence was leaked from within."

Uchiha Yoru's calm analysis earned the silent approval of the Anbu members, who, given the lack of intelligence, were certain that such analysis and judgment were correct.

After all, no one could have imagined the terror of the Six Paths of Pain, and more importantly, there was the lack of intelligence.

After all, once the enemy is discovered, a meticulous plan needs to be devised, and there simply isn't enough time in that regard, since the enemy can't just sweep through unnoticed.

Find the target, then sweep through? Faced with this idea, everyone could only scoff. Yet, what everyone considered illogical was precisely the reality.

Information gap!

Just then, a signal hawk sounded. When the Anbu received the message, although they were wearing masks, their eyes revealed shock.

"Something has happened at the Fire Temple. The Hokage-sama has ordered all nearby Konoha Ninja to rush to the Fire Temple's aid and investigate all traces."

Upon seeing the information, the Anbu Captain immediately and solemnly ordered his men, who were still searching for clues in the surrounding area, to rush to the rescue.

This scene startled Uchiha Yoru, who was secretly alarmed. As expected of Six Paths of Pain, or rather, Nagato, whose fighting spirit had been ignited, was indeed a man destined for great things.

Not only was his reaction quick, but his methods were also ruthless. It seems the Fire Temple is pretty much finished. After all, even the Five Great Ninja Villages would tremble at the mere sight of him.

"Itachi, return to Tanzaku City."

Seeing the Anbu leave hastily with grave expressions, without even bothering to investigate the smallest clues at the scene, everyone knew they had encountered a problem.

"Yes, Teacher Yoru."

Although Uchiha Itachi is a genius, we cannot yet fully grasp his strength.

Seeing Itachi's solemn expression, Uchiha Yoru seemed to understand what the other was thinking. After making sure no one was around, he quietly shook his head at Itachi.

"Itachi, my plan is to hire Rogue Ninja rogue ninja through a bounty to ambush them."

In short, I didn't do it, I don't know anything about it, and it has nothing to do with me.

Uchiha Itachi nodded slightly upon hearing this. Although he now had a fervent admiration for his teacher, it had not reached the point of blind faith.

Perhaps ambushing the elder monks of the Fire Temple was possible, but the Fire Temple? Uchiha Itachi knew that it was an armed force, whose overall strength was definitely no less than Anbu of the village's ANBU. It was an armed force comparable to the Uchiha Clan, and it was not something that could be shaken by one person alone.

It's obvious that this was a premeditated event, and their mission just happened to be carried out by someone else.

Seeing Uchiha Itachi thought to himself with a heavy heart, "The Fourth Shinobi War Uchiha Yoru War is still a long way off. The Shinobi World's understanding of strong ninjas is still at a basic level, so it's unclear whether some powerful ninjas are truly capable of shaking a large country or village."

But there's no need for him to explain. Even if he did, would anyone believe him? On the contrary, he would be suspected.

Two figures, one large and one small, moved swiftly through the forest. A piece of white paper slowly appeared in the cold wind, and Uchiha Yoru, who was moving rapidly, seemed to sense something.

After secretly Hand Seals, Uchiha Yoru, who was on his way, lowered his voice and said to Itachi behind him, "Hurry up and get back to Tanzaku City."

"Yes, teacher." Although Uchiha Itachi was somewhat suspicious, his meticulous and mature nature prevented him from asking any questions. Instead, he calmly quickened his pace and hurried on his way.

Inside the woods, Six Paths dressed in black robes with Hongyun slowly appeared. Just then, a figure slowly emerged as pieces of white paper flashed by.

However, the moment Konan appeared, just as she was about to say something, the six people, including Konan, suddenly froze, and a black shadow descended.

When they saw who it was, a look of shock appeared in their cold eyes.

A dark shadow flashed by, and Konan's hand, which had been trying to resist, slowly loosened. The shadow swept past him and disappeared in a flash, leaving a trail on the ground.

"Miss Konan, it seems you were quite careless."

When the shadowy figure revealed its true form, it was Uchiha Yoru with a smile. He looked at Konan and said with a laugh, "Looks like you've been targeted. But this time I'll give you a discount."

This sentence caused the atmosphere to freeze. Six Paths of Pain's expressionless eyes revealed a hint of tension, and Nagato, hiding in the tree hole in the distance, was completely dumbfounded.

It seems I misunderstood!

The current situation seems like a misunderstanding, but it also makes sense. After all, six mysterious people dressed in strange clothes abducting a woman is nothing new in the Shinobi World, as abducting women with Chakra- based constitutions is not uncommon.

"Mr. Ye."

Konan wasn't wearing the Akatsuki Organization, and seeing the current situation, her Kakuzu twitched involuntarily. This misunderstanding had caused quite a stir. Even so, in the cold Shinobi World, this gesture was a rare moment of warmth that warmed her icy heart.

There aren't many good people left.

With a pair of calm black eyes staring at the Six Paths of Pain opposite him, Uchiha Yoru wore a confident smile. He secretly calculated that he hadn't messed up. After all, it was his fault for not wearing the uniform; he could use this opportunity to gain some goodwill.

"Your Forehead Protector!" When he clearly saw the six figures of Six Paths of Pain, Uchiha Yoru's face turned serious. He calmly said to Konan behind him, "They are Rogue Ninja from Amegakure."

"I'll cover you. You're going to escape back to Tanzaku City first. And is Nagato alright?"

Under the concerned inquiry, Konan, who was being protected behind him, was unusually amused and exasperated, but her usual aloofness prevented her from showing any change in expression; she simply nodded stiffly.

"Nagato is still inside the hotel. I went out to buy supplies and they spotted me."

It's obvious that Konan and Nagato have been moved by this Mr. Yoru, and given this chance encounter, she has no choice but to continue playing the role.

Konan was stunned. She felt a warmth in her cold palm. She saw that the other person had silently placed a stack of Explosive Tag in her palm, and she also felt a touch on her buttocks.

She instinctively wanted to get angry, but when she felt a thick stack of Explosive Tag suddenly appear in her Tool Pouch, she froze.

Uchiha Yoruro serious and stared at the six figures, saying in a deep voice, "Rogue Ninja from Amegakure, what are you trying to do by infiltrating the Land of Fire?"

Faced with the questioning, Six Paths of Pain remained silent. Nagato, hiding in the Nagato, was also somewhat bewildered. Fortunately, these were six puppets he was controlling; otherwise, he would have been truly embarrassed.

Fire Style: Phoenix Flower Jutsu

Suddenly, Uchiha Yoru launched an attack, spewing out balls of flame from his mouth and blocking all of the opponent's escape routes.

"Run!"

Konan wasn't a pedantic person, and besides, she knew that in such an awkward situation, she should quickly get out of the way.

Without hesitation, Konan turned and left, quickly disappearing into the forest, leaving only her back view.

"How is that possible!"

The burly man, Hungry Preta Path, stood directly in front of the other five, his outstretched hands instantly absorbing the violent Fire Release Ninjutsu. This scene shocked Uchiha Yoru.

"Who are you!" Deva Path Pain stepped forward, acting as the leader of the six, and coldly questioned the other party.

At this moment, Uchiha Yoru sized up the six people in front of him, his expression gradually becoming serious, and he said in a deep voice, "It seems I've been underestimated."

At this moment, Uchiha Yoru's disguise was flawless, as if he were encountering such a strange Ninjutsu technique for the first time.

Fire Style: Great Dragon Fire Technique

The speed at which Hand Seals his Ninjutsu surprised even the Six Paths of Pain; however, the Six Paths' raging fire dragons had already roared in.

The Preta Path rushed forward again, stretching out its hands to absorb the incoming Ninjutsu, but then a cold light flashed.

Uchiha Yoru had already arrived in front of him. Because of his disguise, he did not use his ninja sword, but instead launched a sneak attack with his fist at one of them. However, the other person grabbed his wrist.

"Not good!"

The moment he was subdued, as if he had been careless, Uchiha Yoru's expression changed. In an instant, he delivered a side kick, sending the attacker flying. His swift Taijutsu had already flashed through the Six Paths of Pain.

Bang bang~

In a fleeting instant, amidst the flashing afterimages, Uchiha Yoru -and-forth exchanges with Six Paths of Pain resulted in him gaining no advantage whatsoever.

"How is that possible!"

Every attack from a blind spot was easily dodged by the opponent. Uchiha Yoruro shocked and quickly jumped out of the battle, standing on a treetop with an increasingly solemn expression.

Similarly, the Six Paths of Pain below also coldly watched their opponent, but Nagato, hidden in the shadows, frowned slightly. How could he end this farce? He didn't want to hurt this man.

At this moment, even through Six Paths of Pain Nagato, Nagato saw the solemn expression on Mr. Night's face. But the next moment, he was stunned, for under such circumstances, a crimson light slowly appeared in the other man's eyes.

With the Three Tomoe spinning, the Sharingan!

They're from Konoha!

"It seems you are no ordinary people."

At this moment, Uchiha Yoru, who was standing on the treetop, pretended to be forced to reveal his identity. As he opened his Three Tomoe Sharingan, he also revealed a cold smile.

The seal on his wrist instantly broke, Kusanagi Sword was directly in his hand. At this moment Uchiha Yoru, with a solemn expression, looked directly at the two and said in a deep voice, "Konoha Ninja Uchiha Yoru."

However, Six Paths of Pain only gave a cold look and did not reply at all.

In the eerie atmosphere, Uchiha Yoru feigned a serious expression, but inwardly he thought to himself that this was a golden opportunity.

This encounter in Tanzaku City was originally a chance meeting, and the relationship that had been painstakingly established was actually a cover for both of them. Now that he had caught the other's attention, the Akatsuki Organization's intelligence capabilities would probably be able to uncover his identity and background in no time.

Since it's bound to be exposed sooner or later, what could be more damaging than the exposure we're facing now?

The rare quality of using it to cover the retreat of teammates, but it turns out you're all on the same side, tsk tsk, you openly exposed your identities and won't be suspected, perfect.

"It seems you're not planning to talk about it. But the methods you used just now... your abilities seem quite strange. Is it Kekkei Genkai? Something like Meiton!"

As Uchiha Yoru muttered to himself, he used the cover to launch two Kunai with lightning speed.

However, Smoke Bomb was attached to the back of the Kunai. It exploded instantly, filling the surroundings with thick smoke. At that moment, Uchiha Yoru's figure rushed in.

Bang bang~

Amidst the thick smoke, a violent collision sounded, followed by the cracking of a large tree.

Amidst the thick smoke, Pain's cold voice rang out, "Looks like a very difficult opponent."

As the smoke gradually dissipated, Uchiha Yoru stared coldly at the person before him, cold sweat trickling down his forehead, as if he were shocked by the other's power.

This scene naturally did not escape the Six Paths of Pain Nagato, hidden in the shadows, couldn't help but smirk. "Mr. Yoru, it's not that your Taijutsu are lacking, but rather the difference in intelligence."

With six people and six pairs of eyes sharing the same vision, Six Paths of Pain clearly.

Uchiha Yoru's expression was solemn, but the shock in his eyes was three parts feigned and seven parts genuine. The strength of the Six Paths of Pain was indeed terrifying. Although he had known this for a long time, he really couldn't imagine it.

Without activating the Mangekyo, relying solely on the Three Tomoe and the Ninjutsu he currently possesses is indeed difficult.

Is this what they call super- Kage Level strength?!

Six Paths of Pain did not unleash all his abilities, a sight that made Uchiha Yoru ponder deeply. Perhaps this was an opportunity, a chance to test the legendary Kage Level strength, but it was only a test.

After all, for a woman he'd only met a few times, even though she was his employer, a powerful ninja might lend a hand, but he wouldn't risk his full strength.

He cannot leave any flaws that would arouse suspicion.

Thinking of this, Uchiha Yoru smiled. "Six rogue Rogue Ninja from Amegakure, wearing the same uniforms. It seems you came to the Land of Fire with some purpose. Considering your strength, and the fact that you even targeted women..."

"It seems you are bounty hunters, a mercenary ninja organization that specializes in capturing Chakra women and children for other countries."

Seemingly guessing the other party's purpose, Uchiha Yoru, with a smile on his face, began to activate the Cursed Seal on his neck. In an instant, his entire body was covered with black patterns, and at the same time, violent Lightning Release Chakra began to appear outside his body.
