Konohagakure.
When Nagato and Konan rushed to Konoha with Six Paths of Pain, the village had been on guard for a long time. The inside and outside of the village were full of tension.
There was only one place that was still quiet.
The memorial monument in the back mountain.
Impure World Reincarnation's Obito sat in front of Rin's tombstone, carefully wiping the dust on the tombstone and putting a bunch of flowers on it.
"Oh, so you still remember that she likes Bellflowers the most?"
Kakashi's voice came from the distance. He slowly walked in from the outside and stopped in front of Rin's tombstone.
Kakashi walked very evenly with each step.
Just like how he had walked through this area countless times.
"I will never forget everything that Rin likes."
Obito slowly stroked his mask and lowered his head, "Kakashi, why are you here? Shouldn't you all be waiting for Akatsuki to invade at this time?"
"It doesn't matter. I will leave soon."
Kakashi slowly squatted down and sat in front of Rin's tombstone. He looked at Obito and said, "I just happened to come here and take another look at Rin. If I don't do it, I might not have a chance after this war is over."
Kakashi looked up at the sky and whispered, "If I die, I can see Rin often in the Pure Land in the future..."
"Don't even think about it."
Obito immediately interrupted Kakashi and said coldly, "If you die in the war with Pain, I will give your body to Kabuto or Orochimaru and let them bring you out."
"Alright, let's not talk about that anymore."
Kakashi stood up again. After bowing to Rin's tombstone, he turned around and left, walking to another grave.
After a while, Kakashi seemed to think of something. He suddenly turned his head and asked, "Obito, I'm going to see Minato-sensei and my father. Are you going to continue staying here?"
"..."
Obito was silent for a while, then slowly turned to look at Kakashi, "I thought that when you saw me here, you would ask me about Pain or Nagato, or ask me if I were willing to help you resist the invasion..."
"Then will you help us?"
Kakashi immediately asked.
Obito stood up and left Rin's tombstone. He shook his head and said, "No, I have already saved Jiraiya for you. This is enough."
Kakashi tilted his head and continued to ask, "Then, will you tell us about Pain or Nagato?"
"Hmph, your still the same! Kakashi!"
Obito snorted, and the Sharingan under the mask stared at Kakashi. He said coldly, "Sure enough; you are the most qualified ninja of the Minato Team. You are always so unscrupulous."
After saying that, Obito spread out his palm and chuckled, "For the sake of you helping me deal with the traitor, I will tell you a secret!"
Obito's scarlet red eyes revealed a strange red light. His laughter was a bit more sinister, "The only people who came to invade Konoha this time are Nagato, Konan, and Six Paths of Pain. I believe that you can seize this opportunity."
"What?"
Kakashi frowned and whispered, "Then did the other members of Akatsuki attack Kumogakure to capture Hachibi Jinchuriki?"
"That's right."
Obito slowly lowered his arm and continued, "Because the power of the Rinnegan is strong enough, Nagato has absolute confidence in dealing with Konoha. This information will be of great help to you, right?"
"..."
Kakashi silently nodded.
Since this information came from Obito's mouth, it was very credible. And Indeed, it was very helpful for them to resist the invasion.
In this way, Konoha would be able to deal with it appropriately.
Just as Kakashi no longer wanted to pay respects to Minato and Sakumo's tombstone, he planned to leave to report this unknown information immediately.
Obito called out to him again, "Kakashi, you really want to get information from me by any means!"
Obito sneered, then looked at Kakashi and continued, "By the way, if you are willing to help me put a bunch of flowers on the tombstone in front of Minato-sensei, then I can give you another piece of information."
"... Okay."
Kakashi slowly pulls his mask.
After a while, Kakashi placed two sunflowers in front of Minato's grave and said softly, "Can you speak now?"
"Of course."
Obito turned his back to Kakashi and coldly said, "If you win this battle, then prepare to receive Uehara's revenge!
That little brat is not like us; he is a guy who will do anything to avenge his own Sensei.
Moreover, that little brat is a very diligent genius ninja, and he also has Ninjutsu talent that is not inferior to Nagato.
If I am not wrong, perhaps he already has a Bloodline Limit through the nature chakra change, but it is not the only secret.
In fact, there was more than one type of Bloodline Limit in his body."
"Wait..."
There was a hint of surprise in Kakashi's eyes as he asked, "You mean to say that Uehara is actually an enemy that is more difficult to deal with than Nagato?"
"That's right."
Obito shook his head coldly and continued in a deep voice, "At the age of twelve, Uehara began to follow Nagato and Konan. They also regarded Uehara as the successor of Amegakure and Akatsuki. Their relationship was very deep."
After saying this, Obito slowly clenched his fists, "Uehara always takes Konan's words for granted, so when you defeat Nagato and Konan, you better not be careless and prepare in advance to deal with Uehara's attack on Konoha."
"Is that so?"
Kakashi pulled his mask and whispered, "I know, but you just want to use us to kill Uehara, right?"
"Yes, I want to kill him too."
Obito nodded and slowly released his hand. His voice sounded a little illusory as he said, "Even in my dreams."
This sentence was true.
Unfortunately, Kakashi did not understand it. He just waved his hand and turned to leave to report the information he got from Obito.
However, after taking a few steps, Kakashi suddenly turned to look at Obito, "Hey, Obito, are you really not going to come back?"
"..."
Obito's figure turned into a space-time vortex and disappeared.
Kakashi glanced at the empty space in frustration and turned to leave the area. It was unknown how much he remembered.
On the other side.
The clay dragon was still flying unsteadily.
Deidara was still carefully repairing his art.
To be honest, if not for the fact that they were afraid that Deidara would directly detonate the clay dragon, Sasori and Sasuke would have already scolded him.
But the situation often changed.
Sasuke finally couldn't stand it anymore. After mocking Deidara a few times, Deidara threatened to detonate the clay dragon to let Sasuke have a taste of his art.
How the f*ck was he going to taste this?
Wasn't this just asking for death?
Wasn't this asking everyone to die together?
Of course, Sasuke definitely wouldn't admit defeat because he felt that he was just good at lightning Ninjutsu, which just happened to restrain Deidara's clay bomb.
The problem was, could he make it in time?
Once this huge clay dragon exploded, even Susanoo would probably not be able to withstand its power, and Sasori's puppet core would definitely be destroyed.
Damn, why was this business trip so exciting!
Sasori finally relied on his dignity as Senpai to make the two of them quiet down and finally shut up.
Only Uehara sat quietly on his back.
Uehara ended his control over Obito and quietly let go of his fingers. He sighed softly, "It's really shameful to praise your strength..."
Yes.
When Sasuke and Deidara were arguing, Uehara was controlling Obito to leak secrets to Kakashi from a distance.
Uehara had Obito appear on the memorial monument because he happened to observe Kakashi's tracks.
All of this was Uehara's plan.
Logically and emotionally, this encounter between Obito and Kakashi was a meeting of old friends with no flaws.
Everything Uehara did was just to let Kakashi know one thing: his relationship with Nagato and Konan was very deep.
Uehara listened to everything Konan and Nagato said.
As long as Konan and Nagato chose to forgive Konoha in the war, Uehara could easily forgive Konoha and even help deal with Obito and Madara.
After a night.
Deidara's voice woke everyone up, "Hahaha... We are almost at the Country of Lightning!"
"..."
Uehara couldn't help but open his eyes and glance at Deidara.
Deidara's face was full of exhaustion. It was clear that in order to ensure that his clay dragon continued to fly, he had worked so hard to make up for it.
It seemed that Deidara really liked his art.
Although Deidara was a silly idiot who loved art, the Clay Dragon he created was not slow either. It was slightly slower than the Ancient Dragon, not too slow compared to the other Summoned Beast.
However, there was a problem with its safety.
Fixing while flying was really a little scary...
According to the information Uehara received, Nagato and Konan set out a little later than them. However, with the distance between Amegakure and Konohagakure, if they rode on his Summoned Beast, they should have already arrived near Konoha, right?
Uehara's estimate was not wrong.
Just as Kakashi rushed to Hokage's office to report that he had met Obito and got the information from him, Nagato and Konan had already sneaked into the outer defense area outside Konoha.
"Shikigami no Mai (Dance of the Shikigami)!"
Konan slowly spread out her palm, controlling the white paper to form a thick tree hidden in the forest. No matter who looked at it, they could not find a flaw in this tree.
This would be the place where Nagato would hide.
Because this time, when they invaded Konoha to capture Kyuubi, they would face many enemies. Six Paths of Pain was the real main force, and they were more suitable to appear on the battlefield than Nagato.
Nagato slowly walked inside and asked softly, "Konan, are you also going to participate in the attack on Konoha? If you are going to participate, use a paper clone to move with Six Paths of Pain!"
"Okay."
Konan nodded.
Coincidentally, she also wanted to see a few people in Konoha.
The next moment, countless pieces of white paper split out of Konan's body, forming a paper clone that made it difficult to distinguish between real and fake, walking into the ranks of Six Paths of Pain.
Nagato slowly sat cross-legged in the tree hole, slowly raising his fingers and his Rinnegan flashed with light.
"Then let's begin!"
