Naruto: This Uchiha is too innocent.

After Aburame Ryoma left...

Hanzo's subordinate approached and asked in a low voice, "Lord Hanzo, are we really going to accept this commission?"

A few years ago, Amegakure did use assassinations to make money for the village's development. However, after Hanzo made a name for himself in the Second Shinobi World War, Amegakure became much more peaceful, and gradually, this assassination business was put on hold.

Now, after many years, he has picked up the assassination business again, and the assassination targets are people from the Land of Fire. His subordinates are worried that this hard-won peace will be broken.

Hanzo stared at the bank card on the table containing a full twenty million taels of silver, lost in thought.

This is 20 million, but it's also a hot potato.

but……

He drew back the curtains and stood in front of the French windows. From this position, he could almost look down on the entire Amegakure village. He could see the pedestrians coming and going on the main street and feel their weariness.

"Currently... Amegakure's development has hit a bottleneck, and we need these 30 million."

"But……"

"No buts," Hanzo said calmly.

They fell silent.

The raindrops pattered against the French windows outside, as if they would shatter the glass at any moment.

The rain... was getting heavier and heavier.

After a long silence, Hanzo spoke slowly: "The Akatsuki organization just reached a reconciliation with us some time ago, and they should be short of money right now. Go and inform them that half of the reward will be given to them."

The subordinate's eyes lit up. He knew that Akatsuki was the only organization in Amegakure that could rival Lord Hanzo, and its strength was unfathomable.

Hanzo's intermediary methods are truly ingenious these days; he doesn't have to risk his life to get paid.

"yes!"

……

Shortly after

On the other side of Amegakure,

A ninja dressed in black robes hurried past his peers, who were also dressed in black robes, in Amegakure and entered a tall tower.

dong dong dong-

"Come in." A young man's voice came from inside the office.

The ninja pushed open the door and immediately saw the three people inside.

The leader had striking spiky orange hair and a resolute gaze.

The two people beside them were a young man with long red hair and a woman with long blue-purple hair.

All three are dressed in black robes; they are Yahiko, Nagato, and Konan, and are all in their youth.

"Chief Yahiko, Hanzo wants to give us a mission with a reward of 15 million."

This office is the headquarters of Akatsuki, another organization in Amegakure. The current organization's robes are plain-colored on the back, without the future red burning cloud emblem.

"Oh? A mission with a reward of fifteen million? Even though we just reached a reconciliation with Hanzo, would he really be that kind?" Yahiko muttered, resting his thumb on his chin, then seemed to realize that this action was a bit unbecoming of his boss.

He immediately straightened up, looked at his subordinate in front of him, and said calmly:

"What is the mission?"

"Assassinate Uchiha Sora in Konoha Village."

Upon hearing this, the subordinates immediately realized the change in atmosphere. If the atmosphere had been lighthearted just now, it was now unusually serious.

for a long time,

"Okay, I understand," Yahiko said with a stern face.

The subordinate understood that this was no longer his business, so he nodded, put down the file containing information about Uchiha Sora, and left.

After there are no outsiders,

The Akatsuki leader immediately lost his composure, glancing at the documents left on the table, scratching his head, and looking at the two people beside him.

"Konoha... that should be Jiraiya-sensei's village, right?" Yaya scratched his head, his words a question but a statement.

Konan stepped forward, picked up the information about Uchiha Sora, and began to read it.

Nagato remained silent, lost in thought.

"Hey, should we take this mission or not?" Yahiko asked.

Normally, the three of them would follow his lead, but when it came to matters concerning their private affairs, he would ask the other two for their opinions.

After reading the documents in her hand, Konan turned to look at Yahiko.

"Yahiko, what is our purpose in establishing the Akatsuki organization?"

"Of course, it's for the peace of the ninja world," Yahiko blurted out.

"That's right, peace in the ninja world." Konan nodded, her bluish-purple hair pulled back, revealing her smooth forehead and bright, snow-white eyes.

"I understand," Yahiko clapped his hands. "Konan means we shouldn't accept the offer, so that the war in the Land of Fire won't affect our Amegakure."

"No." Konan shook her head, a gesture that caused a few strands of her hair to turn into white paper scraps and fall to the ground. "Do you know the Uchiha clan?"

"Um, I know a little bit about it. I've heard that their bloodline limit is the Sharingan, a bloodline limit born for battle."

"Yes, according to the information in the document, the Uchiha clan's philosophy is to stop war with war. They have huge ambitions and want to control the world through force."

This existence... conflicts with our beliefs.

"So we're going to kill him?" Nagato suddenly asked.

"It depends on the situation. We are all survivors of war, and we all understand what war means. Jiraiya-sensei saved us. If we kill innocent people indiscriminately, wouldn't we be indebted to him?"

"you mean……"

"Let's go to Konoha and observe Uchiha Sora. If he agrees with the war, then we can't let him live. If he opposes the war, we won't take this mission, but we can try to win him over."

Yahiko and Nagato exchanged a glance and nodded.

"That makes sense. So who should we go? Konoha's security force is no joke," Yahiko asked.

"Of course I'll go; my abilities are suited for this mission," Xiao Nan said.

"Yahiko, as the leader of the organization, you should naturally guard the village. Nagato, your strength can deter others. I'm the best choice for this mission."

Yahiko thought about it and agreed. He nodded. "Okay, then be careful. Oh, by the way, if you run into Jiraiya-sensei, please give him my regards and Nagato's greetings."

Xiao Nan nodded, then pushed open the window. The next moment, she turned into countless white paper scraps and disappeared from the spot...

Yahiko smacked his lips, then straddled the table with one leg high, picking up the information about Uchiha Sora on the table.

"Let me take a look."

The information about Uchiha Sora in the document was incredibly detailed, including his age, hobbies, and so on. It was estimated that even he himself didn't know that much about him.

"Tsk tsk, still a genius." He glanced at Nagato. "Hehe, but even a genius can't compare to our Nagato. After all... you possess the power to rule the ninja world."

"It's not as exaggerated as Yahiko said," Nagato retorted softly, subconsciously reaching out to cover his eyes, which were like a turbine.

"Tsk, Nagato, you need to be more confident." Yahiko shook his head with a smile, then continued reading.

Besides information about Uchiha Sora, there is also some information about the Uchiha clan, a large portion of which is defamatory.

They say things like the Uchiha clan is inherently evil, cold-blooded, and a terrorist.

"By the way, is the person who wrote this message an enemy of the Uchiha clan? Are they really that evil?"
