Chapter 163: The mortal realm can no longer satisfy Xiayan! (Please subscribe!) "Rinnegan?! How do you have the Rinnegan?!" Uchiha Itachi's expression instantly changed. Having only a shallow understanding of the Rinnegan and knowing that it is extremely rare, Uchiha Itachi's first reaction was-- "Xiayan! So you're the leader of the Akatsuki?!" Uchiha Itachi's expression drastically changed, and he almost hesitated to activate Susanoo to fight against Yuan Yan with his life! No wonder many people feel that Uchiha Xiayan is not as extreme as other Uchiha who have activated the Mangekyo Sharingan. They even suspected that he placed his extremism on "reviving the Uchiha." It turns out that it was all an illusion! His true identity is actually the leader of the Akatsuki! He is Uchiha Madara's collaborator!
Xiayan was taken aback and instinctively wanted to laugh. But upon careful consideration, Uchiha Itachi's reaction seemed normal as well. The Rinnegan is extremely rare. Although there have always been legends of the Rinnegan in the ninja world, almost everyone believed it to be a false rumor! Even when Uchiha Itachi saw Nagato's Rinnegan with his own eyes, he thought the same! To see such a rare Rinnegan on Xiayan... This guy must be connected to Nagato! Uchiha Itachi was about to unleash his chakra without hesitation. Although he didn't believe he was a match for the renowned Xiayan, even if he died, he would make a scene in front of countless Konoha shinobi! "Absolutely cannot let Xia Yan's conspiracy succeed!" Uchiha Itachi roared in his heart, and the framework of Chakra quickly appeared on his body. However, before Susanoo could take shape. Xia Yan instantly appeared beside Uchiha Itachi and patted his shoulder. "Don't worry, I have nothing to do with Akatsuki anymore... We used to have a business relationship, but now we don't even have that." Xia Yan grabbed Itachi's shoulder and smiled. Itachi's body stiffened. As a formidable Kage-level expert, he was unexpectedly easily infiltrated from the side. Itachi's eyes fell on the ground, where there was a strange and unique mark. "Flying Thunder God... I was careless." Itachi's voice sounded bitter. "So Xia Yan, what conspiracy do you have?" "Conspiracy? I just said I have nothing to do with Akatsuki." Xia Yan shook his head. Itachi looked incredulous and had an unpleasant expression. "You are clearly a member of the Uchiha clan, how could you have the Rinnegan? Xia Yan, are you still trying to deceive me?" His expression was ugly, feeling like he had just been played like a clown, baring his heart and soul. However, Xia Yan laughed and released Itachi's shoulder. "It's precisely because I am a member of the Uchiha clan that I have the Rinnegan... Do you remember the stone tablet in the underground shrine of the clan?" Xia Yan's mouth curled up. "After activating the Mangekyo, you will see the method to activate the Eternal Mangekyo."
"And after activating the Eternal Mangekyo, you will see a line written on it." "The power of the universe is born from the combination of Senju and Uchiha." "What it means by the so-called 'power of the universe' is the Rinnegan!" Itachi's expression changed drastically upon hearing this. He suddenly thought of a question. "Wait! Xia Yan, are you saying that the Rinnegan is an upgrade from the Mangekyō?" "That's right." "Then why does the leader of Akatsuki have the Rinnegan?" Uchiha Itachi's expression changed drastically. "Uchiha Madara, why would he cooperate with him?" Although he had never seen the true face of Nagato and didn't know his identity as an Uzumaki. But how could 'Uchiha Madara' mix with someone who has an upgraded Mangekyō? As everyone knows, there can't be two tigers on one mountain, and an organization cannot have two leaders. Originally, Uchiha Itachi thought that 'Uchiha Madara' was completely confident in suppressing Nagato, so he joined Akatsuki. But if the Rinnegan is an upgrade from the Mangekyō, then how can Uchiha Madara be confident in suppressing Nagato? Even though Rinnegan may not be as simple as Mangekyō suppressing a regular Sharingan, it would still be greatly suppressed. Even if Uchiha Madara is arrogant, he shouldn't have joined Akatsuki like this! TB... Where did Nagato get the Rinnegan from? Upon hearing this, Xia Yan looked meaningfully at Uchiha Itachi: "Itachi, you don't think that the Rinnegan is easy to awaken, do you...?" "Although I haven't seen the Uchiha Madara you mentioned, the Rinnegan requires the top-level visual power of the Mangekyō, combined with the power of a body comparable to the First Hokage Senju Hashirama's level of a sage. It is born from this combination. "Forgive me for being blunt, but if you really saw the Rinnegan, then the only person in the past hundred years who would qualify to possess the Rinnegan is Uchiha Madara himself." "The Rinnegan should belong to Uchiha Madara's eyes." Uchiha Madara's eyes? Uchiha Itachi's expression changed slightly. So, the leader of Akatsuki is Uchiha Madara? No! The eyes of "Uchiha Madara" that I saw back then were clearly Mangekyō... Yes, not even Eternal Mangekyō! The reason I believed that "Uchiha Madara" was the real "Uchiha Madara" was because he could freely use the power of Mangekyō without worrying about the depletion of his eye power. This is clearly the behavior of Eternal Mangekyō! Since I have never seen Eternal Mangekyō with my own eyes, naturally I mistook it for Eternal Mangekyō! Although there was some doubt in my heart, feeling that some aspects didn't match up, it was because of this that I leaned more towards believing in Uchiha Madara's identity.
But now, I have personally experienced the eye power of Shaiyan's Eternal Mangekyō, which is even stronger than that of "Uchiha Madara"! And Shaiyan also mentioned before that the Senju clan's Sage Body can restore the eye power of Mangekyō... "So the person I collaborated with back then was not Uchiha Madara at all, but someone who awakened Mangekyō and obtained the power of the Senju clan!" Uchiha Itachi thought of this possibility. But soon, he fell into even greater confusion. "But why would that 'Uchiha Madara' claim to be 'Uchiha Madara'? Isn't he afraid of being exposed by the real Uchiha Madara?" "And why does the leader of Akatsuki hide his identity as Uchiha Madara and insist on hiding himself behind puppets, presiding over the Akatsuki organization with the appearance of a puppet? This doesn't match Uchiha Madara's character!" "And it seems that 'Uchiha Madara' and the leader of Akatsuki have some kind of hidden connection, but they are wary of each other, even more so than us renegade shinobi. There is no trust between them at all." For a moment, Uchiha Itachi's mind was filled with countless thoughts. But his intelligent brain and his spy skills, which constantly paid attention to the members of Akatsuki, allowed Uchiha Itachi to finally come to a conclusion. "Uchiha Madara" is not Uchiha Madara, but it should be related to the real Uchiha Madara, so there's no need to worry about exposing oneself! The leader of Akatsuki is also not Uchiha Madara. It's highly likely that his eyes were transplanted, so the burden is heavy, just like Kakashi's Sharingan transplantation. There may be some aftereffects, which is why he constantly hides himself under the guise of a puppet. And the mastermind behind the two of them... ...is the real Uchiha Madara! Uchiha Itachi is truly impressive! Despite having very few clues, most of it was based on speculation, but he still came close to the truth! However, Uchiha Itachi still doesn't fully understand the abilities of the Rinnegan. He's still a step or two away from seeing everything clearly. Shiya Yan didn't expect Itachi to guess so much in an instant, even though he revealed a lot of information himself. Uchiha Itachi bit his lip slightly. He had spent five years undercover in the Akatsuki organization, but he was almost completely ignorant of the mastermind behind it... If it weren't for Shin Yan, he probably wouldn't have even realized that "Uchiha Madara" was an impostor! And the real mastermind, Uchiha Madara, made him feel alert and horrified. The fact that the leader of Akatsuki and the fake Uchiha Madara, two top-level experts, were still dealing with the Tailed Beasts... What is this guy trying to do? Uchiha Itachi's heart sank, and he finally said, "I will investigate thoroughly... But Shin Yan, since you have awakened the Rinnegan, you should know how difficult it is to deal with it." "Be careful, the ninja world is treacherous!" He couldn't help but feel a deep sense of emotion. Of course, the main goal hasn't changed - to prevent Shin Yan from becoming too arrogant and turning into a traditional, domineering Uchiha that would harm the village. "I understand," Shin Yan said nonchalantly, "But since you're here, would you be willing to help me with a favor?" "What do you need help with?" Uchiha Itachi asked. "There is a hidden force in the ninja world called 'Shell' organization. It is divided into an outer circle and an inner circle. I hope you can help me gather information about them," Shigehiko spoke up. Tsunade's investigation must not stop, and we must utilize Akatsuki's channels as well!
Compared to Nagato, the Ōtsutsuki clan is the existence that Shigehiko should pay attention to now! "The outer circle? Are you referring to Hoshigaki Kisame?" Uchiha Itachi frowned. "I understand. I will complete this mission entirely." "Be careful, that Shell organization is not simple," Shigehiko cautioned. "The waters inside are deep, not much different from your Akatsuki organization." Are there any other hidden organizations similar to Akatsuki? Uchiha Itachi's mouth twitched, feeling a similar sentiment to Obito a few days ago - the ninja world's waters are so deep! However, he still nodded, his eyes slightly narrowed. Since the Shell organization is strong, should we guide them to confront the Akatsuki organization? After all, they are enemies of Konoha, it's perfect to let them fight each other! Of course, this is a matter for later. Itachi quietly left, just as he had come quietly. Shigehiko did not mention any task rewards, and Itachi did not ask for any - for someone like Itachi, money is not worth mentioning, only peace is worth any price! However, judging from his appearance, it seems that he still intends to die by Sasuke's hand, to achieve the title of Sasuke's hero. He is only holding the mentality of doing more for Konoha and the Uchiha before he dies, and working hard as a spy to gather information. "But what will you all be like in the end... hehe," Shigehiko chuckled. Although he agreed to let Sasuke handle it, no matter what method he used, he didn't care. But that was only when there were no interests involved. What if there were changes... About half a month later. Yakushi Kabuto finally returned from Orochimaru. "Lord Natsuhiko, Orochimaru has taught me the Impure World Reincarnation technique. Not only that, he also said he would help you research female ninja enhancement technology." Yakushi Kabuto looked helpless. "I've never seen Orochimaru divert his attention to something like this before..." Female ninja enhancement technology... This has nothing to do with Orochimaru's dream at all. Orochimaru actually wasted his energy on this? It completely subverted Yakushi Kabuto's understanding of Orochimaru. "It seems like he's really short on money." Yakushi Kabuto sighed lightly. Orochimaru has always been a principled person, but now that he's desperately short on money, his principle is to not have any issues with money. "Then let's begin." Natsuhiko smiled.
"Yes, Lord Natsuhiko..." Yakushi Kabuto looked helpless. "You've really done your best for the revival of the Uchiha clan." "Even to the extent of teaching me Orochimaru's Forbidden Technique..." He sighed lightly, but immediately formed hand seals. Reanimation Jutsu! The next second! The impure soil surged up. Three beautiful figures appeared in front of the two. The first person had long deep blue hair that reached their waist, a gentle face, and fair skin - Uchiha Mikoto! The second person had orange hair tied up neatly, with the remaining strands of hair tied up as well, giving off a refined and exquisite aura - Yekura! The third person had fiery red hair, with a hairpin on the left side of their bun, and a wristband on their left wrist, full of fighting spirit - Uzumaki Kushina! In the next second after the three were revived! Mikoto opened her eyes, revealing the Mangekyō pattern in her eyes. Yekura opened his eyes, and a fireball of Scorch Style appeared beside him. Kushina opened her eyes, and a surging chakra burst out from her body. The three of them emitted a powerful aura! Yes. Natsuhiko specifically sought out Orochimaru to summon these three top female ninjas in the ninja world. The female ninjas in the mortal world no longer satisfied Natsuhiko. He couldn't help but reach out to the underworld!
