"Itachi's younger brother, Sasuke Uchiha, is currently in Kusagakure."
Obito flatly rejected Pain's guess.
"And that young Uchiha girl with him..."
Obito paused, seemingly gathering his words.
"I tapped into quite a few intelligence networks and even went back through some potentially relevant records, but I found no trace of her past.
It's as though she... appeared out of thin air."
"All we know so far is that one of her eyes' dōjutsu is Amaterasu."
"While we can't be completely certain about the other, judging by its performance in battle and chakra signature... it appears to be Kagutsuchi, which can control flames."
When Obito mentioned the combination of Amaterasu and the suspected Kagutsuchi, barely a ripple stirred in Deva Path Pain's cold Rinnegan. Instead, an almost imperceptible trace of disdain flashed through them.

Pain reached his conclusion swiftly and decisively.
His real attention rested more on the other target Obito had described.
Only that Nine-Tails Jinchuriki needs some attention.
