"Sir, do I need to prepare anything?"
"No, this will be quick."
Lux could understand Fugaku's anxiety. After all, traveling through time and space sounded truly unbelievable.
But luckily, it was very quick.
World Teleportation was faster than the Flying Thunder God Technique, so Fugaku wouldn't feel uncomfortable.
"Father, where are you going?"
Itachi pulled on Fugaku's clothes, feeling quite worried.
"Don't worry. Father will just see who that Uchiha traitor is. I won't take any risks."
Fugaku knew very well that if the opponent could slaughter all the Uchiha Clan, he must be very strong! Maybe he also had the rare Mangekyo Sharingan, even stronger than himself!
He might not be able to defeat the other party. But if he couldn't defeat the traitor in the future, why would he be afraid of not being able to defeat the traitor in the present?
Just know the other party's identity. When he returns, he will be expelled from the clan first, and everything will be over if he can't kill him!
"Itachi, please protect your little brother and mother at home. Do you understand?"
"I will!"
Itachi nodded firmly in agreement.
"No need. Since you're worried, let's go and see together."
With a wave of his hand, Lux signaled Fugaku and Itachi not to worry. It just so happened that he could bring two more people with him.
After all, they were all father and son, so it wasn't a bad idea to look around together.
It would also be a good idea to give this young man a lesson so that he wouldn't become twisted later.
"Is this also okay? Itachi is still young, might it..."
Fugaku was still a little worried, worried that it would have too much impact on Itachi.
However, before the words were spoken, he felt his body glow, and the surroundings changed instantly, even faster than when Minato teleported with the Flying Thunder God.
It was clear that Lux had brought the father and son out of Parallel World 4 and teleported to Parallel World 3 in the timeline.
The three appeared in a hotel room.
Fugaku suppressed the shock in his heart and asked, touching his head to comfort the confused Itachi.
"Sir, where is this?"
"Twelve years later, Amegakure Village in the Rain Country. The small ninja village you just destroyed."
Lux opened the window, pointed to the bustling street outside, and answered casually.
Fugaku looked around and found that the architectural style of the street outside was very different from that in Konoha, there were thick and solid metal pipes everywhere, and there were also colorful neon lights.
Oppression and uncontrolled coexistence, mysterious and hidden, gave people a sense of inconsistent and harmonious beauty.
"Is this Amegakure Village twelve years later?"
"What has happened? How much has changed in just twelve years?"
Fugaku clicked his tongue in surprise, a little unimaginable. This was very different from the Amegakure Village he led his troops to conquer before. Although Lux didn't say anything, he couldn't connect this place with Amegakure Village.
Amegakure Village was located at the crossroads of three major countries. There were constant battles, and the society was in dire straits. It made sense that it wouldn't be possible to develop at all.
Now it looks like a peaceful scene, even a little more prosperous than Konoha.
Is this wrong?
"There are many reasons why Amegakure Village has developed so rapidly. The main reason is that this village has become a sovereign and independent country."
Amegakure Village was able to develop from the ruins of war-torn to equal or even surpass Konoha in just a dozen years.
A miracle in itself.
Of course, there were factors related to Nagato and Konan's abilities, but more importantly, it was because Amegakure Village's development was not limited by the country.
Because of the years of war in the Rain Country, its original kingdom and Daimyo had long disappeared.
Amegakure Village was the largest city and gathering place in the country, so Nagato naturally became the supreme leader of the Rain Country. The economy and income of the entire village and country could be used to develop the village fully.
From this aspect alone, this was much better compared to some large villages that heavily relied on financial aid from major countries.
Only in this way could they rise and become prosperous quickly.
"Sir realizes how great the impact of economic independence is on a village? But shouldn't Minato come and see this?"
Fugaku wasn't stupid, he immediately realized the importance of economic independence after seeing Amegakure Village.
He became more aware of the importance of the ongoing annexation plan of the Rain Country on his own side.
But shouldn't Minato come and see it?
What's the use of knowing so much?
As long as Minato ruled for one day, he would be the most loyal minister in Konoha. It's not good to know too much, is it?
"Don't worry, it's just a coincidence. The main reason I brought you here is because of that Uchiha traitor."
"Is that Uchiha traitor here? Did he defect to a small village like Amegakure Village?"
Fugaku's spirit was shaken, and he became excited just by saying this.
Behind him, Itachi kept looking around, also very curious about the traitor.
He couldn't imagine how such a bastard could come out of the Uchiha?
"He is indeed here. Don't worry, you'll meet him soon."
"Then can we go out and have a look around? I'm also very interested in Amegakure Village like this."
"Okay. Be careful not to get caught in the rain here. That way, the leader of Akatsuki will notice you two soon."
"This rain is also sensory ninjutsu? The range is so wide? Is that person called Nagato?"
Fugaku clicked his tongue, he had met Nagato.
Being able to defeat Konoha's Sannin alone was beyond imagination!
This must be taken seriously.

Meanwhile, on the other side.
A high-level plenary meeting was also being held at the secret headquarters of the Akatsuki organization in the hinterland of Amegakure Village.
Those present included Pain, Konan, Zetsu, Itachi, Kisame, and Tobi.
The other four, Sasori, Deidara, Kakuzu, and Hidan, were still participating as Phantoms.
However, almost the same as last time, all the core members of the Akatsuki organization were present.
"Meeting again? It's really annoying for you to hold meetings so often! I don't even have time to spread the great teachings of the Evil God Cult!"
Hidan was the first to complain with dissatisfaction. He didn't have any lofty ideals when he joined Akatsuki. He just wanted to use Akatsuki's power to spread his evil religion further.
"Hidan! Now is not the time to joke!"
Pain glared sharply at Hidan, his powerful aura forced Hidan to be more honest.
"The current situation is not good for us. Itachi, please tell me about the information you gathered during this infiltration operation."
Pain looked at Itachi and gestured for an introduction.
Itachi nodded in response and selectively reported his 'journey to hell' in Konoha Village.
"Major changes have indeed taken place in Konoha. Currently, Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen has abdicated, and Orochimaru has taken over as the Fifth Hokage!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked.
"What?!! Can that loser snake become Hokage? Why should it be like that?"
Deidara was the first to shout excitedly.
He left the Tsuchikage and ran out, following Akatsuki to become bigger and stronger.
As a result, the loser changed his mind and came back to inherit the position of Hokage. Then wouldn't he be like a clown?
Sasori said gloomily: "Hmph! Orochimaru is despicable, I've said that he can't be trusted."
Kakuzu frowned and said, "Is Orochimaru's high bounty still there?"
White Zetsu said: "He seems to have tricked us all!"
Pain raised his hand and stopped everyone's comments:
"It seems that Orochimaru is indeed a secret agent sent by Konoha to infiltrate Akatsuki. I'm afraid that most of Akatsuki's secrets have been revealed to Konoha by him."
"This time, it is estimated that it will be difficult for the organization to remain inactive. Itachi, continue your report."
Itachi and Kisame looked at each other and continued: After Kisame and I sneaked into Konoha, we tried to capture the Kyuubi, but unfortunately, Orochimaru knew about it."
"Konoha set up an ambush in advance, and Shimura Danzo personally led the siege and suppression team. Kisame and I desperately broke through, killed several Konoha ninjas, and killed Danzo himself. As a result, Kisame and I were both seriously injured."
Itachi touched his blind left eye to show the brutality of the fierce battle.
Although Danzo was killed by his ancestor Madara, it was very suitable for Itachi to use it as a sign of surrender and determination to Akatsuki at this time.
No matter how bad Danzo was, he was still a high-ranking core leader of Konoha and one of the representatives of Konoha.
The outside world did not know that Danzo had been ostracized and hated by Konoha.
There is no one stronger than a traitor ninja who kills Konoha's core leader.
Although Itachi's previous achievement of slaughtering the Uchiha Clan was already very weighty, in Obito's eyes, an insider, it was far less convincing than killing Danzo.
So, with this appearance, Itachi is truly loyal to Akatsuki!
