Naruto: I'm in Konoha, my name is Uzumaki Menma

Chapter 24 The Mysterious Ninja Who Became Famous Throughout the World

The country of rain, the village hidden in the rain.

The rain poured down, and countless towering spires stood out against the rain curtain, shrouding the entire village in a gloomy and damp atmosphere.

For the ninjas of Amegakure, from the moment they were born, it rained heavily in Amegakure and even throughout the Land of Rain, with hardly a few sunny days throughout the year.

Beneath this ceaseless curtain of rain lies poverty, murder, and crime...

At the top of a tall tower, Obito Uchiha, dressed in the Akatsuki's red cloud black robe and known as 'Uchiha Madara,' sat on the edge of the platform, looking down at the rain-soaked city.

In the room behind him, 'Six Paths of Pain' stood silently in the shadows, while Konan focused on organizing some of the intelligence she had gathered.

Now, only Nagato and Konan remain in the Akatsuki organization, along with Obito and Zetsu, who joined as 'Uchiha Madara'.

The core members of the Akatsuki who died were turned into the 'Six Paths of Pain' by Nagato.

Because his legs were severely injured in Hanzo's explosive tag trap and he had to supply chakra to the Gedo Mazo, his body was kept in a special device for a long time and could not move freely.

Therefore, Nagato used 'Pain of the Deva Path', created from Yahiko's corpse, to operate outside.

"Oh dear." As the flippant voice rang out, a pitcher plant rose from the ground, its two distinct black and white halves standing out prominently.

"Guess what interesting information I gathered at the gold exchange," the white-clad figure said in a teasing tone.

"Just give me the information." Obito tilted his head slightly and said coldly, a glint of cold light flashing in his Sharingan beneath his mask.

"You're really boring~" White Zetsu continued to chatter on.

At the same time, he took out a brand new reward notice and placed it on the table.

"This is a new bounty of 70 million from the exchange, targeting someone who calls himself 'Danzo' and codenames 'Shura'. The attack on Kumogakure seems to be his doing."

Xiao Nan picked up the reward list on the table and examined it carefully.

“Danzo…” Upon seeing this name, Konan’s painful memories flooded back.

However, unlike the Danzo Shimura in my memory who was bound with bandages, the 'Danzo' in the portrait is a sunny and cheerful boy.

For some reason, Konan was reminded of the time when Yahiko was still alive.

"What are the losses from the attack on Kumogakure?" Obito also came over. He was more concerned about whether this mysterious ninja was the same mysterious ninja who attacked Konoha a few days ago.

"The White Zetsu I sent out reported back that quite a few people died, and the Raikage Building was completely destroyed!" White Zetsu waved his arms and said excitedly, "To be able to escape unscathed from such a large-scale explosion while being pursued by the Raikage and Jinchuriki is no less than the damage you caused when you attacked Konoha three years ago."

The number of activated White Zetsu is also limited, and Black Zetsu cannot possibly be assigned to monitor every village, as that would pose a great risk of exposure.

Therefore, the battles that took place in Hidden Cloud Village and Thunder Gorge are difficult for outsiders to know about.

The severely injured Killer Bee was also placed under tight protection.

Furthermore, Killer Bee had been forbidden from leaving the village for many years, and White Zetsu had not been able to gather any information about him.

"Hmph!" Obito snorted coldly when he heard White Zetsu mention the Nine-Tails' rampage he had caused three years ago.

He was seriously injured by Minato's Flying Thunder God Technique and Rasengan back then, and half of his fused White Zetsu body was melted away.

"Do you know this Asura?" Pain's voice came from the shadows.

Although they accepted the mysterious masked man who called himself 'Uchiha Madara' into the Akatsuki organization, Nagato and Konan were very wary of him.

Now that such a powerful ninja has appeared, Madara Uchiha, who has lived for nearly a hundred years, should know something about him. Moreover, this mysterious ninja's codename is "Shura," and Madara Uchiha was also known as the "Shura of the Ninja World" when he was alive.

“An ability I’ve never heard of.” Obito stared at the sketch on the bounty list. It was a picture of a sunny and cheerful boy, but it was marked next to him as possibly a disguise using transformation techniques.

Next to the sketch portrait is another portrait wearing a three-eyed fox mask.

Ability never heard of before, a powerful ninja never heard of before...

Will this bring about changes to his revenge plan?

Obito looked up at Zetsu and said, "Tell me as soon as the martial law in Konoha is lifted."

Because of the recent incident where a special envoy from Kumogakure was murdered by a mysterious ninja who then attempted to frame the Hyuga clan by disposing of his body, Konoha has strengthened its monitoring of the village's protective barrier.

After sending back some information, the White Zetsu, who was lurking in Konoha, did not dare to make any rash moves, for fear of being discovered by the Byakugan or other sensory ninjas.

------

At the same time, in Konoha Village.

A high-level meeting was also being held at the Hokage Building.

"I'll say it one last time! This has absolutely nothing to do with me!" Shimura Danzo slammed his fist on the table, arguing with Sarutobi Hiruzen with a livid face.

On their table was a newly updated reward list from the gold exchange, with a portrait of the mysterious man and the name 'Danzo' clearly visible.

Koharu, turning to the other side, said gently, "Perhaps it's just that we have the same name."

"It's also possible they're trying to frame us." Mitokado Homura then looked at Hyuga Hiashi opposite him and said, "Are you sure it's this person?"

Hiashi Hyuga looked at the bounty on the table, and at the familiar three-eyed fox mask, and nodded firmly: "Absolutely right, it's this mask."

But then Hiashi frowned and asked, "He stirred up trouble in Konoha and created chaos in Kumogakure. What exactly is he trying to do?"

The high-ranking officials present also fell into deep thought.

Previously, it was believed that this mysterious ninja had a grudge against Konoha and therefore wanted to frame Konoha to escalate the war between Konoha and Kumogakure.

But now this mysterious person has attacked Kumogakure again!
According to intelligence from Konoha spies infiltrating Kumogakure, the Raikage Building was destroyed, resulting in hundreds of deaths and injuries, including many elite Jonin.

The intelligence even sent back by the spies mentioned that the attackers were not one person, but one woman and two men, three masked people!
Since most of Konoha's spies in Kumogakure are genin (low-ranking ninja), it is difficult for them to obtain core secrets, and more detailed information cannot be confirmed at the moment.

“If the other party has a deep-seated hatred for Kumogakure, then it makes sense,” Nara Shikaku, with two scars on his face, analyzed.

As the leader of the Jonin team and the chief strategist for the Third and Fourth Hokage, his analysis was highly valued.

Hiruzen Sarutobi picked up his pipe and took a puff, his old face beneath the Hokage hat looking solemn.

Nara Shikaku continued his deduction: "If the assassination of the Kumogakure envoy and framing of the Hyuga clan succeeds, the war will likely continue, and Kumogakure's fighting strength will be greatly depleted. At that time, this mysterious person, or rather their organization, will seize the opportunity to launch an attack on Kumogakure..."

Nara Shikaku's speculation is reasonable and is currently the only explanation they can make.

At the end of the meeting, after making some arrangements, Hiruzen Sarutobi asked Hiashi with concern, "How is Hizashi doing?"

“He… is very good!” Hiashi Hyuga replied hesitantly.
