Konoha Invasion Plan

"What did Pain call us here for?"

"This is the first time everyone's shown up!"

"No idea, but I hate waiting around. Hope he gets here soon!"

"What do you think, Shisui?"

Shisui Uchiha said nothing.

Pain appeared atop one of the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path's fingers.

"Pain, what happened to your eye?"

Everyone was shocked to see that one of Pain's Rinnegan was missing.

"According to Zetsu's intelligence, both the Six-Tails and Nine-Tails are in Konoha. Our next step is to destroy Konoha and capture them!"

"There ought to be plenty of money in Konoha!"

Once Pain had settled the timing and other details, he sent the Akatsuki members off to prepare.

"Shisui, what's wrong? You don't look too happy!"

Kisame Hoshigaki studied Shisui's face and asked in surprise.

"It's nothing, really!"

After parting from Kisame Hoshigaki, Shisui Uchiha returned to his house in Amegakure. He created a Shadow Clone to pose as him, then prepared to slip away and warn Konoha.

Sending a message through his summoned crow would only work if Uchiha Itachi summoned that same bird too. Otherwise,
