Naruto: If I ask you to kill Sasuke, you will become a succubus?

"Also, Sasuke is looking for Itachi now... He's probably also looking for clues about Akatsuki everywhere, so he might run into you. If you do, please bring Deidara and Sasuke with you."

"Where shall we meet?"

I silently stared at Obito's half-intact face. That should have been his best look.

He has regular facial features and a heroic appearance.

I took my hand back and stood up: "The Land of Waves."

……

It might take some time for Sasuke to find the Akatsuki members, but with Madara...

No, after taking off the mask, I can't call him Uchiha Madara anymore.

But Obito was here, and he had all the Akatsuki bases in his memory. Gaara wrote them down one by one and set off immediately.

I sent Obito and Neji into the Kamui space to facilitate the transfer, but Haku is still in the Sand Village.

I found Bai, and he immediately came up to me: "Are you back? Or did something happen?"

"How long have we been gone?"

Bai shook his head: "It wasn't long, it was almost like he just left and he's back again."

He was very observant and must have seen something from my expression. Seeing that I was alone, he immediately asked, "Where are Neji and Gaara?"

"Bai...you must leave the Sand Village now and go back to the Mist Village."

"What happened?"

I smiled at him, "It's okay."

Although Bai looks gentle and easy to talk to, he is actually very stubborn. He is gentle on the outside but strong on the inside, and never changes his mind easily: "Chaolu!"

I knew it wouldn't be easy to convince him, so I couldn't help but sigh: "We went to another world... a world whose timeline is after ours, which means... we went to the 'future' world."

Bai probably guessed that I might have obtained some information that he didn't know, so he slowed down his voice: "Did you see anything?"

"...Well, I saw a lot of things, but I can't explain them clearly right now. Bai, trust me and go back now."

"What about you?" Bai Qingliang's eyes stared at me: "Where are you going?"

"I'm going to Konoha."

"What are you going to Konoha for?"

"Go find allies. The more allies we have, the better."

Bai was probably still worried, but he trusted me, so his attitude softened: "...You have your own plans, right?"

"Ah."

"Don't be stubborn. If you need help, be sure to tell me. The strength of the Hidden Mist Village is your strength."

"……Um."

"Since you are sure of your plan... I will go to the Hidden Mist Village and wait for your news," Bai stared at my face, "... you must remember to come back."

"Don't worry about me so much," I said with a smile, "Although it seems to you that we have only been away for a while, we have gained very powerful new powers in that world!"

"Really? That's not necessarily a good thing," Bai frowned and warned me, "Suddenly gained power... can easily go to one's head. Zhaolu, use it with caution."

He was worried and held me, telling me for a long time before letting me go. I confirmed that he went to say goodbye to Temari before turning around and heading towards Konoha.

Susanoo was summoned and flew at full speed towards Konoha. The journey of several days was quickly compressed into just a few hours in the air.

However, because of the wide field of vision in the air, I could already see smoke rising in the distance before I even reached Konoha.

what happened?

I quickly recalled Naruto's memory - this period of time...

Yes, Akatsuki had already obtained the seven tailed beasts, and then used Sasuke to capture the Eight-Tails, and then Pain personally went to Konoha to capture the Nine-Tails, which led to Konoha being razed to the ground.

But...Sasuke should still be looking for Itachi's whereabouts now. Has Pain taken action in advance?

Naruto's memory seemed to mention that when Pain was preparing to go to Konoha, he met Jiraiya who was going to the Hidden Rain Village to collect intelligence. The two sides fought a fierce battle, which caused him to postpone his departure, but before that... I shared Pain's information with Shikamaru.

Didn't Jiraiya go to the Hidden Rain Village, causing Pain to attack Konoha in advance?

What about Naruto? Is Naruto in the village now, or has he gone to Myoboku Mountain to practice Sage Mode?

And Kakashi!

If the development of this world is really similar to the future I went to, then Kakashi would die here once, until Naruto defeated Pain and Pain used the Rinnegan to resurrect him.

We were already close to Konoha, and I released Neji from the Kamui space and let him stand with me between Susanoo's eyebrows.

"Ningji, please find Kakashi's location. Also, Pein must be near Konoha, please confirm it as well!"

"Pein...? Kakashi... I understand."

Neji might not know who Pein is or what he looks like, but all he needs to do is find any suspicious people hiding near Konoha.

It's great that the Byakugan didn't lose its original power after upgrading to the Samsara Eye. And judging by Neji's performance, the Byakugan's original insight seems to be even more powerful.

"We've found both targets. Which one should we go for first?"

Without thinking, I said, "Kakashi!"

He pointed me in the direction: "This way."

"Ningji..."

"Ok?"

I couldn't help but say, "It's great that you were willing to be my companion at that time."

He laughed. “I’m pretty useful, right?”

"Super awesome!"

"I said at that time that I would never hold you back."

Looking at his smiling face, I also started smiling.

When we flew over Konoha and arrived at the location where Neji confirmed Kakashi was, half of his body was buried in a pile of rubble, and a man in a black robe with red clouds stood coldly in front of him.

Susanoo fell suddenly, blocking Kakashi behind him.

I turned my head to look at Kakashi, he looked up and saw me, his eyes widened in surprise.

"Oh." I smiled at him: "It seems that I came at the right time."

Pein seemed to recognize me as well—we had met before when I wanted to save Gaara and pretended to be controlled by Itachi-sensei—he frowned slightly: "...You?"

I controlled Susanoo to dig up the rubble around Kakashi, placed him in my palm, and protected him.

"Paine, stop it, or you'll have to sacrifice your life to get them back later. Let's talk."

Payne said coldly: "Nonsense."

In his current state of mind, he probably never dreamed that he would change his mind in just a few hours and voluntarily sacrifice his life to make up for what he had done at that moment.

Neji's Byakugan was still scanning the scene. "There's a giant toad fighting in the southeast. It should be Jiraiya's summoning beast. He's probably fighting some other enemy."

"Other clones... Having more clones means you have an advantage... Is Naruto here?"

"I didn't see Naruto."

If Naruto was there, he would never have concealed his whereabouts, and Neji would have definitely seen him. Since he was not there, it seems that although Jiraiya did not die in the battle, he also realized that the situation was difficult and Naruto needed more training, so he sent him to learn Sage Mode.

I looked at Pein, "I have leaked your information to Konoha. The people of Konoha must know that they can defeat you by finding your true form... For Konoha with the Hyuga clan, this is just a matter of time. Stop before they catch you. Maybe there is still a possibility of negotiation."

He frowned: "How do you know my information? Itachi... Impossible, unless..."

Unless it's Uchiha Madara.

But Uchiha Madara had no reason to reveal his weakness.

Seeing Pein's puzzled look, I asked, "Do you want Yahiko to come back?"
