When I reappeared in Yuyin Village, to be honest, I was shocked.

I was on top of the tower and saw the bodies of Nagato and Konan.

And Nagato's reincarnation eye has been gouged out.

It was completely beyond my expectations, and I was stunned for a moment before I gasped and realized that something had changed dramatically that I didn't know existed.

I looked at the other Payne Six, all of them lying quietly on their "beds", with no signs of being used or awakened, like a group of ordinary corpses, never to open their eyes again.

I searched around the scene, but I couldn't find any clues, so I had to put the bodies of Nagato and Konan into the game space first, and returned to Konoha.

When I switched to [Shadow Uchiha Itachi] and appeared in the Hokage's office, I wasn't used to the Hokage being replaced by Jiraiya, and Jiraiya was obviously not used to my sudden appearance, and his subconscious vigilant reaction made me subconsciously reveal the consciousness of attack.

Then the two of us saw each other clearly, and relaxed at the same time.

"Itachi, you...... It's a little too elusive. Jiraiya, who was wearing a Hokage robe, looked a little strange, and his Hokage hat was placed on the desk next to him, sitting behind the desk, looking at the papers at hand, and sighing. What do you think? If it's you, there's no problem, right? ”

"......," I was silent for a moment, "the mission failed." ”

“！” Jiraiya's eyes widened slightly, frowned, and showed a serious expression, "What's the matter?" ”

Payne...... No, Nagato, and Konan, were all killed. ”

I released their bodies from the play space.

Looking at the two disciples, Zilai also slowly stood up, as if stunned for a moment, before hesitating and walked over.

Nagato's red hair was messily spread on the ground, and his face was already very pale, but now it was even more ominous blue.

His closed pupils were sunken, uncomfortably reminiscent of his missing eyeballs.

A large hole was made in the chest, and it was evident that someone had unsuspectingly pierced the chest from an extremely close distance, mercilessly.

Xiao Nan's blue hair was scattered, and the white paper flowers on his head were gone. And her right hand was stained with a large amount of blood that did not belong to her.

The cause of her death was a cut throat.

“…… When I arrived, I was met by Jue. He has gained the power that belongs to Otsuki, and is a turtle that can travel through time and space. I was swept into another world with him. I was in another world, teaming up with Nagato, Konan, in that world, and killed him together. But when I returned to this world and reappeared in Yuyin Village, I only saw the bodies of the two of them. ”

I don't like this feeling very much—it's easy to be suspected that I killed the two of them and snatched the eye of reincarnation.

I took the plow out of the play space, and I was not sure if the play space could store living creatures, so I tried it with the plow and found that as soon as he entered the play space, it would go into a mandatory hibernation state.

"The Legend of the Fairy Tree"

For a turtle that has been on Earth for thousands of years and has only recently been awakened, this dormancy has no effect on it, but I don't know if this is a traditional art that belongs to turtles alone, so I still don't dare to let live creatures into it.

I said, "This is the time-space treasure of the big barrel wood family, the plow." It seems to have been fished up from the bottom of the sea. ”

After hearing this, Jiraiya finished examining the two corpses and stood up without saying a word.

He said in a deep voice, "Judging by Nagato's injuries...... Most likely, he was killed by Xiao Nan......"

“……”

The first time I saw them, I thought of this possibility. After all, the big hole in Nagato's chest and the blood on Xiao Nan's right hand really fit too well.

But if that's the truth, it's too cruel......

"What do you think, Itachi?"

“…… I think Xiao Nan may have been manipulated. ”

Jiraiya continued to ask, "Who could it be?" ”

"Absolutely." I sighed, "Another world's absolute." ”

Jiraiya looked at me," he continued. ”

"Maybe it's the Jue of another world, who found the 'plow' of that world and escaped to our world."

"He may have taken advantage of Nagato and Xiao Nan's unpreparedness, attached himself to Xiao Nan, manipulated her to kill Nagato, and then manipulated her to kill herself...... Snatched the eye of reincarnation. ”

"So, where do you think he will go with these reincarnation eyes? Go back to his original world? ”

"But in another world, another Jiraiya-sama, Nagato, and Xiao Nan have all been dragged into the moon by me to read, Nagato's reincarnation eye has not been lost, if the three of them join forces, even if Hei Jue gets the reincarnation eye from our world, he won't be able to make any waves when he goes back."

"So...... He stayed? Or did he flee to another world? ”

I looked at the plow in my hand and asked, "Do you have any way to confirm this?" Plough? ”

"Hmm. I could feel the trajectory of my alternate self jumping through time and space. The Black Jedi-sama must have given the order to 'go to the nearest point in time' and came to our world. However, I didn't feel the trajectory of his departure. There are no traces of new work in the nearest space-time channel. ”

"That is," Jiraiya and I looked at each other, "and he stayed in our world. ”

Not only did he gain the eye of reincarnation, but he also hid deeper than ever before.

……

“…… You're so sorry you did, absolutely. ”

Somewhere underground, a snake-like woman changed her body and licked her lips as she looked at the strange creature called "Jue" that slowly emerged from the darkness.

"I really didn't expect that the leader of Xiao would be one of the three little ghosts back then."

"I've already killed the leader of Xiao for you, what's the matter, is the sincerity of such cooperation enough?"

"Even though you say that, I still can't understand your motives for betraying Akatsuki. Suddenly they found me and said they were going to run to me......"

"Didn't I say it, because you have someone from the Hyuga family here. The ninjas of the Hyuga family haven't left Konoha and the Hyuga clan for a long time, what a rare existence! ”

"That's it?"

"My mother also has a pair of white eyes." "So I'm going to stay with her, and I'll do whatever it takes." ”

"Your mother is actually from the Hyuga clan?" Orochimaru looked at his dark appearance and raised his eyebrows.

"I didn't inherit my mother's Hitomi technique. The whites of her eyes were passed on to my second brother. ”

"So, you still have two older brothers?"

"Ah, yes." Kuro smiled a somewhat eeriely, "However, they both betrayed my mother and me. That's why I'm very attached to the Hyuga family...... I will take good care of her, just like I do for my mother. ”

"Huh." Orochimaru sneered noncommittally, and looked at the white-eyed girl who was sitting on the side, indifferently watching his subordinates draw blood for themselves, "Did you hear that?" Ningning? He is here for you. ”
