Behind the Scenes in Naruto World

Chapter 52: Is Itachi also a Spy Sent by Danzo

The instant he saw Pain, Orochimaru’s smile stiffened!

Obviously, he had just wanted to taunt Uehara. Why did he actually summon Pain?

What is going on here?

Orochimaru’s first thought was to question why Pain was summoned? Was it the Rinnegan’s ability, or was Pain no longer an actual human…

If the ninjas could summon each other, wouldn’t it have an incredible impact on the transmission of information and technology?

Orochimaru himself was really not sure that he would be able to defeat Deva Path of Pain, especially since he had just performed Living Corpse Reincarnation and abandoned his old body…

“Yahiko-sama.”

Uehara’s words interrupted Orochimaru’s imagination before it ran wild. The youngster pointed to Orochimaru and said to Pain, “We’ve run into the Akatsuki’s traitor.”

“Orochimaru?”

Pain raised his eyes and turned towards Orochimaru before stretching out his palm, “Then hurry up and deal with it. I don’t have much time left here… Bansho Tennin!”

A strange gravitational force pulled Orochimaru towards Pain’s position!

Orochimaru didn’t want to sit still, so he spat a long snake out from his mouth and spit out the Kusanagi hidden in his mouth, stabbing in Pain’s direction!

“Shinra Tensei!”

A repulsive force burst out, knocking Orochimaru away at an even faster speed!

The one-sided battle ended. Orochimaru did not have any strength to fight back, so he was beaten half to death by the Deva Path of Pain’s two techniques!

Mangetsu, Kisame, or Zabuza all looked at the Deva Path of Pain with horror on their faces.

Orochimaru, whom the three people couldn’t beat just now, was defeated by this man wearing a black robe with red clouds in a few seconds, and he didn’t even face any resistance!

“Alright.”

Deva Path Pain calmly retracted his palm, ignoring the tattered-looking Orochimaru in the distance, and turned his head to look at the surrounding Kisame and the other two. They bowed their heads, so he looked towards the youngster next to them, “Are they also enemies?”

“……”

Mangetsu and the others’ expressions suddenly became tense.

Uehara shook his head and explained softly, “They are Swordsmen of the Mist from Hidden Mist Village. They are the people I recruited from the Land of Water this time.”

“…”

It was Pain’s turn to be speechless.

The mission that was handed over to Uehara only required him to recruit Kisame. Why did he recruit other people? Were they reserve members in case Kisame died?

Konan’s disciple was unexpectedly capable!

Akatsuki had always lacked human resources, so Uehara recruiting so many alternate candidates saved them the trouble of finding new members…

“Besides them…”

Uehara carefully considered his next sentence before continuing softly, “Does Yahiko-sama know senior Tobi’s true identity?”

“Uehara, why are you asking about that?”

Pain’s expression had changed. At heart, he didn’t really want to reveal the fact that Tobi was Uchiha Madara since he had a lot of involvement in it.

But after thinking about it for a while, Pain pacified Uehara again, “Konan has returned to the base. Wait till you get back, and I’ll get your teacher to tell you!”

“Wait…”

That’s not how this is supposed to happen!

If he purely wanted to deal with Orochimaru, there was no need for him to summon the Deva Path of Pain. Uehara’s main purpose was to deter the secretly lurking Obito.

As long as Uehara informed Pain in advance that Obito wanted to assassinate their team, he would be safe from his attack.

Uehara hurriedly explained, “Yahiko-sama, I ran into Konoha’s Hatake Kakashi a few days ago. He came into contact with senior Tobi, but he called him Obito…”

After speaking, when Uehara noticed Pain still disapproving, he continued, adding, “Senior Tobi wanted to kill me after hearing this name. Fortunately, teacher Konan gave me 100 million Explosive Tags. It was only thanks to that that I managed to escape…”

“He was going to kill you?”

Pain’s brows couldn’t help but frown, “He wants to kill you just because his name was leaked out?”

The matter had become far more complicated.

The past scenes appeared in Pain’s mind. Back then, the mysterious masked man and Kazuzu had appeared in front of them. He called himself Ninja World’s Asura, Uchiha Madara, and claimed to be the one who guided those with the Rinnegan.

During that period, Danzo and Hanzo the Salamander conspired to encircle and destroy the growing Akatsuki, including their leader Yahiko, who died in battle. Only Nagato, Konan, and he survived.

If the mysterious masked man’s real name was Obito and a Konoha Ninja, there had to be a conspiracy behind it!

Konoha’s Danzo joined Hanzo to encircle them after all.

Another one of Konoha’s ninjas then showed up to guide Nagato. He wouldn’t believe it if they told him that they weren’t related.

Doubly so because, right before the appearance of the mysterious masked man and Zetsu, Yahiko had rejected their proposal. Immediately after that, Akatsuki was encircled by Danzo and the Amegakure’s ninjas!

Pain stood there, thinking for a while, his face suddenly turned gloomy, he suddenly opened his mouth, “That guy… could he be a spy sent by Danzo?”

“…”

Uehara didn’t quite understand Pain’s thought process. His face showed a bewildered look, “This is just information I got by chance…”

After speaking, Uehara looked at Orochimaru on the ground and suddenly added, “Wait, I just remembered… Orochimaru mentioned earlier that Obito was one of Konoha’s heroes who died in battle. Orochimaru must know some information about him!”

“Good job!”

Pain’s eyes lit up, and he praised him approvingly. Then he extended his hand and stroked Uehara’s hair and softly said, “Uehara, the Land of Water is too dangerous for you now, leave immediately!”

“Should I take Orochimaru back?”

Uehara nodded, then he looked towards Orochimaru’s direction. The originally tattered Orochimaru seemed to have recovered a lot…

Pain shook his head, and his cold voice stopped Uehara’s actions, “That guy has already run away!”

“I’ll chase him!”

Just as Uehara began to charge ahead, the Deva Path of Pain grabbed Uehara’s clothes. He said solemnly, “Don’t worry, there is another member of the Akatsuki who is also a Konoha Ninja. He and Konan have returned to the base, so we can check if he’s also Konoha’s spy…”

Pain could not use too much Chakra in the Land of Water.

Pain had nothing to fear if he was in Akatsuki’s base. But he only needed to control the other Missing-nin from Konoha and to obtain Obito’s information.

“Mr. Itachi?”

Uehara had a dazed expression on his face. That guy was actually Konoha’s spy!

If Itachi wanted to free himself from being suspected as a spy, wouldn’t he have to spit out information on Obito?

Once Itachi knew the mysterious masked man’s true identity as Obito, how would he treat the ninja who helped kill his fellow clan members?

Uehara really wanted to see the two oscar-winning actors turn against each other!

Uchiha Madara should also be terrifying…

As for Obito… If it weren’t for his death and becoming Konoha’s hero, he probably would have become a stain on the Uchiha clan’s name!
