In the Otogakure, at Orochimaru's base, Orochimaru was looking at Naruto and Sasuke with a speechless expression.
"Are you really sure about this?"
Orochimaru still wanted to confirm with Naruto again. At first, after hearing Naruto's words, he thought Naruto was joking with him, but seeing Naruto's serious expression, Orochimaru realized that he really wasn't joking.
This kid really wants to go.
"Sigh, alright, since you've made your decision, remember, be careful. Those guys are a complete bunch of lunatics."
"Okay, I understand, Aunt Snake."
"They're gone."
Naruto and Sasuke left Orochimaru's place and set off for a place that rains all year round. That's right, it was Amegakure ). Naruto and Sasuke decided to go to Amegakure and join the Akatsuki.
Orochimaru couldn't understand why Naruto would join that dangerous place. After all, the Akatsuki was collecting Tailed Beast all over the Shinobi World. For Naruto, the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki go there was like a lamb entering a tiger's den, walking right into a trap.
Orochimaru respected Naruto, and although he was worried about Naruto's safety, he thought about Naruto's monstrous fighting power and decided that Naruto must have his reasons for doing so.
At this moment, Sasuke and Naruto were on their way to Amegakure.
" Naruto, are we really going to join that Akatsuki?"
Sasuke couldn't help but ask. It turned out that Naruto had lied to Sasuke earlier, saying he would take him to a fun place, but who would have thought it would be the Akatsuki's stronghold, Amegakure? And he had just heard Orochimaru say that the people in that organization were basically all lunatics.
Most importantly, that organization is collecting all the Tailed Beast. Is it really safe for Naruto, the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, to go there?
Sasuke was puzzled Sasuke, but Sasuke dared not refute it. Since Naruto had chosen to do this, there must be a reason for it.
Actually, Naruto chose to join the Akatsuki simply to annoy Obito Uchiha. Just kidding, since Obito came up with this Limited Eye of the Moon Plan to disgust him, he definitely had to teach him a lesson.
The two moved quickly and soon arrived near Amegakure. From a distance, they could see the unique features of Amegakure, which amazed Naruto.
"No wonder it's a place where it rains 136 and a half out of 136 days a year. Look at those thick clouds, it definitely rains frequently."
Sasuke looked in the direction Naruto pointed, and sure enough, just as Naruto had said, there were thick clouds. Just as Naruto was thinking about his next move, Sasuke's words almost made his mouth twitch.
"Then, Naruto, how do they dry their clothes?"
"Hmm~ I really don't know how to answer that question."
Naruto and Sasuke were slowly approaching Amegakure, right at the border. The rain was falling only inside; there wasn't a single drop of rain outside.
"Hiss, Naruto, the people of Amegakure are having a really tough time. Look, the weather outside the village is normal, but inside the village it rains all year round. Isn't this a classic case of localized rain?"
Naruto's lips twitched; he didn't want to Sasuke Sasuke's outrageous wild idea.
He stretched his hand forward, just touching the spot where the rain was falling, and could clearly feel the inquisitive Chakra within the raindrops.
"Is this the Rain Tiger at Will Technique?"
Naruto's words piqued Sasuke's curiosity, and he reached out to feel the peculiar nature of the rain.
Within Naruto's sight, Sasuke closed his eyes and sensed for a long time before slowly speaking:
"Hmm, it is a bit different. It feels cool to the touch. As expected of something unique to Amegakure, it's truly extraordinary."
Hearing Sasuke's nonsensical analysis, Naruto's lips twitched. "Isn't what you said the same as saying nothing at all?"
Meanwhile, in a dimly lit room in Amegakure, Pain, the Deva Path Pain, opened his eyes. His face was expressionless, and even his eyes were somewhat wooden, completely lacking the vitality of a living person, as calm as a stagnant Death Minato.
Then, a completely emotionless voice came from his mouth, as if he were casually recounting something insignificant.
"Two guests have arrived, Konan, go and greet them."
But shortly after Konan left, Nagato, who was hiding in the shadows, suddenly narrowed his eyes. What had he just sensed? That violent and evil aura, though it only lasted for a moment, he had clearly felt it.
That aura was definitely that of Tailed Beast. One of the two people who came here was Jinchūriki. Moreover, Nagato could sense that the Chakra within that person was enormous. If he wasn't mistaken, it was either the Eight-Tails or the Nine-Tails. In that case, sending Konan might be somewhat dangerous.
Thinking of this, Nagato manipulated the Six Paths of Pain, quickly heading towards the location Konan had just left.
He has already lost Yahiko as a friend; he can't lose Konan too.
On the other side, Naruto and Sasuke were waiting in place. Just now, Naruto had secretly released some of the Nine-Tails ' Chakra so that Nagato could sense it. The two didn't have to wait long before Naruto smiled.
Because in his perception, two groups of people were rapidly approaching their location. Naruto already had a guess as to who they were: it was probably Konan and Six Paths of Pain.
Naruto narrowed his eyes, surprised that he was facing the Six Paths of Pain. In the original story, it Jiraiya who faced the Six Paths of Pain, but he was caught off guard by the information gaps due to a lack of understanding of their abilities, and that's how Jiraiya was eliminated.
But now facing Six Paths of Pain the stat-obsessed Naruto, who knows the plot inside and out, and the mechanic-obsessed Sasuke. Together, they are invincible in the Shinobi World.
Before long, Konan and the Six Paths of Pain arrived before Naruto and Sasuke. Both sides were observing each other. Compared to Naruto's calmness, Sasuke seemed somewhat nervous because he could actually see the Rinnegan that Naruto had mentioned in the eyes of the six people opposite him. This caused a huge uproar in Sasuke's mind. What was going on? When did the Rinnegan become so common?
Sasuke was puzzled Sasuke confused, but he remained silent.
The tension between the two sides escalated until the orange-haired man at the head of the opposing side spoke first. His words were devoid of any warmth, like those of a cold corpse, sending chills down one's spine.
" Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, do you even know where you are? How dare you come here?"
Pain's Deva Path was staring at Naruto with a hostile expression. Although his expressionless face showed no emotion, Naruto smiled slightly in front of these people.
"Of course we know, and we're here to join your Akatsuki."
