Naruto: I Sell Jars in Konoha Village.

Chapter 218 Onoki: Konoha's Hidden Depths? Tsunade's Anxiety, Danzo's Anger, Naruto

"Whoosh."

Just then, a paper crane flew from afar and landed on Itachi Uchiha's shoulder.

"Looking for me?"

Upon seeing the message on the paper crane, Itachi Uchiha frowned slightly.

Why can't we just say it outright, instead of having to discuss it privately in person?

Despite his confusion, Itachi Uchiha left first, heading in the direction Konan and Pain had gone.

"Regardless, let's clean up the scene first."

Watching Itachi Uchiha leave, Sasori of the Red Sand remained calm: "The base is destroyed, and we can't expect the leader to do the rebuilding."

"throat."

Upon hearing this, Deidara sighed.

Honestly, I have to start rebuilding this broken place myself.

After all, Payne and Konan would give orders if they didn't rebuild this place.

Fortunately, he was also skilled in earth-遁 (earth-遁 is a type of escape technique).

While Deidara and the others used Earth Release ninjutsu to repair the place.

the other side.

Uchiha Itachi, who had already left, followed Konan and Pain to an open space.

"This guy is from your Uchiha clan, so I'm assigning the task of hunting him down to you."

Seeing Itachi Uchiha arrive, Pain calmly looked at him and said, "All your missions are canceled. All you have to do is hunt down and investigate this guy. Is that alright?"

"no."

Upon hearing Pain's words, Itachi Uchiha's eyes flickered slightly, and he nodded gently.

Obito Uchiha is not so easy to hunt down.

That elusive ability is so strange that even if he wanted to fight that guy now, he wouldn't be confident in his ability to make his body ethereal.

However, if he were to leave Amegakure and hunt down Obito Uchiha, he would have a great deal of room to maneuver.

For example, one could stay outside to gather intelligence, transmit information, or even return to Konoha Village.

Thinking about this, Itachi Uchiha felt that this was an opportunity.

"That's settled then. When you leave the village, also spread this guy's information."

Pain said slowly, "As a member of the Uchiha clan, you should know him better than we do. The Akatsuki has some information on him, but not much. However, I believe you can handle gathering this information; after all, he was once a ninja of Konoha."

"I see."

Upon hearing Pain's words, Itachi Uchiha nodded slightly.

He then bid farewell to Payne and Konan and left decisively and quickly.

"Now that we've completely sent this guy out on the sidelines, do you think they can still cooperate?"

Watching Itachi Uchiha leave, Konan turned to look at Pain and pondered, "He couldn't have solved the destruction of the Uchiha clan in Konoha by himself. He and Obito Uchiha were cooperating."

"It doesn't matter."

Pain said calmly, "That Uchiha brat had a plan, but the plan was implemented by the organization."

All he did was work for you and me.

"The ninja world no longer has the opportunity for him to start another Akatsuki organization."

"As long as the rogue ninjas in the organization are still around, it's impossible for that guy's plan to succeed."

"My true form hasn't been exposed yet. As long as we have time to open the can, we'll have a chance to completely eliminate that guy."

It should be noted that his original body has been restored.

Although the lost life force has not been replenished, everything else has been restored to its peak.

This is our trump card.

"Um."

Hearing Payne's words, Konan nodded slightly.

Konan then began to take charge of the situation in Amegakure.

Everything that happened in Amegakure today spread like wildfire in all directions, allowing all the major ninja villages to learn about the situation in Amegakure in less than half a day.

The Land of Earth.

Hidden Rock Village.

Iwagakure's office.

Onoki squinted as he looked at the latest intelligence: "Akatsuki's Uchiha clan? They're hunting down Obito Uchiha with all their might? There are still Uchiha clan members who escaped? That name...it sounds so familiar."

This name feels familiar.

"grandfather."

Upon hearing Onoki's words, Kurotsuchi, a man with short black hair, black eyes, delicate features, and long, fair legs, whispered, "During the Third Shinobi World War, the Jonin Higashi successfully cornered the Konoha defense force led by Mimura Yozaki, leaving them with only four men, who were then dealt with by Minato Namikaze, who arrived at the battlefield in time."

"At the time, Jonin Oishi used the ninjutsu 'Camouflage' to make his body transparent, thus successfully abducting Nohara Rin from Konoha Village and injuring Kakashi's left eye. He was later killed by Obito, who had activated his Double Hook Sharingan, wielding a kunai."

"That Uchiha Obito was killed because the Jonin Hikari used Earth Release: Rock Collapse to cause the rocks in the cave to collapse instantly."

"In hindsight, that guy didn't die back then; he just went into hiding."

"I see!"

Upon hearing Kurotsuchi's words, Onoki narrowed his eyes: "I remember now, the battle at Kannabi Bridge."

"Interesting. Who saved that kid back then?"

"Or perhaps, it's been hidden away by Konoha all along?"

"Konoha, you've been hiding it well."

"Still talking?"

For a moment, Onoki fell into deep thought.

"This guy is in the same organization as Deidara."

Kurotsuchi whispered, "Should our Iwagakure village also take action? After all, by hunting down this guy, we should be able to get information about Deidara from the Akatsuki."

"Don't mention that bastard!"

Upon hearing Kurotsuchi's words, Onoki's face darkened.

Upon seeing this, Heitu immediately lowered his head and stopped speaking.

The Land of Fire.

Konoha Village.

In the root base.

The lights were dim, and a tense atmosphere filled the air.

Danzo sat in that chair as always, his face shrouded in a gloomy expression.

The Root subordinates in front of him were reporting the latest intelligence.

Today's intelligence, however, particularly caught his attention.

"Lord Danzo, we have just received news that the Akatsuki has issued a warrant for the arrest of a ninja who is impersonating Madara Uchiha—Obito Uchiha."

"Obito Uchiha?"

Upon hearing this name, Danzo frowned sharply, his cold gaze revealing a hint of doubt and confusion.

Gripping his cane tightly with both hands, he leaned forward slightly and asked in a cold, hard tone, "Are you sure it's Uchiha Obito?"

"That brat from Konoha Village?"

He recognized the name!

"Yes, Lord Danzo."

"According to intelligence, the Akatsuki organization has confirmed that this person is not Madara Uchiha, but Obito Uchiha, a former Konoha ninja, who is demanding an explanation from Konoha..."

At this point, the Root ninja's expression turned strange: "They say my Konoha Village is hiding something very well."

The moment Danzo heard these words, he froze, as if struck by lightning.

"What?!"

Danzo suddenly stood up from his seat, a look of shock and anger flashing in his eyes.

This feeling of disbelief left him speechless for a moment.

Scenes of working with that masked man in the past flashed through my mind.

But now, they're telling him that guy is actually Uchiha Obito?

That brat I used to completely disregard!

"Are you kidding me!"

Danzo slammed his fist on the table, his roar echoing throughout the entire Root base.

The papers and intelligence documents on the table trembled and scattered on the floor.

The commander was so angry he was practically gritting his teeth, every muscle on his face contorted with rage.

He, Shimura Danzo, was actually manipulated by a mere brat from the Uchiha clan?

That bastard deceived him from the very beginning!

He, an advisor to the prestigious Hidden Leaf Village, had been used by Obito Uchiha for so long!

"You beast! Obito Uchiha..."

"You brat, how dare you fool me like this!"

Danzo's eyes were filled with anger and murderous intent.

He gripped the cane tightly, the veins on the back of his hand bulging.

Danzo's anger almost made him lose his composure; he wanted nothing more than to take action immediately and hunt down Obito Uchiha!

All of this is because of that damned Uchiha clan!

"Obito Uchiha... how dare you treat me like this!"

Thinking back to his dealings with that guy, Danzo's clenched teeth sounded like an uncontrollable roar.

The leader felt his anger burning continuously, and a strong desire for revenge rose in his heart. In that instant, Danzo even impulsively wanted to immediately gather the power of Root to hunt down that bastard Obito Uchiha and completely wipe the remnants of this clan from the ninja world.

"We can't let the Uchiha clan continue to wreak havoc on the ninja world!"

Danzo was filled with a mixture of coldness and anger, as if his only goal at this moment was to completely eliminate everyone connected to the Uchiha clan.

However, he knew he couldn't act rashly right now.

Obito Uchiha's identity has been exposed, which will inevitably attract the attention of various countries.

The current situation in Konoha Village, including myself, requires careful consideration.

"Just bear with it a little longer... everything is still under control."

"The one with a headache right now is Hiruzen, not me."

Suppressing his anger, Danzo slowly sat back in his chair, calmly considering his next plan.

The guy impersonating Uchiha Madara was actually that brat Uchiha Obito.

Really interesting.

Did Itachi Uchiha know about this beforehand?

"Have the Root ninjas continue to closely monitor Sasuke Uchiha and Konoha's movements. Report any unusual activity to me immediately!"

Thinking this, Danzo gave a deep command, his voice filled with endless killing intent and conspiracy.

The only one left in the village today is Uchiha Sasuke.

"Yes."

Upon hearing this, the Root ninja nodded.

Leave immediately.

And at this very moment.

the other side.

At the entrance to Matt Kai's house.

In front of the Saiyan's training machine.

Sasuke Uchiha and Naruto Uzumaki sat under a large tree, looking somewhat downcast and troubled.

Because today is the day they open the jars.

When they arrived, they discovered the shop had vanished!

Thinking about what they had seen and the information they had received, the two remained silent.

Occasionally, they would look up at the sky or exchange a glance, both carrying a hint of helplessness.

"I really don't understand how Mr. Lin Mo's shop suddenly disappeared."

Naruto finally couldn't help but sigh, rubbing his hair in frustration: "I was all ready to open those cans and get stronger!"

"The shop is gone now, what should we do?!"

I'm almost opening a fancy jar myself.

Now look what's happened, we can't even open the delicate jar!

Beside him, Sasuke Uchiha calmly gave Naruto a wary look.

Although he didn't complain as impatiently as Naruto, he was equally filled with helplessness and confusion.

For Lin Mo, his jar shop was an excellent way to improve his strength in a short period of time.

However, the sudden disappearance of the shop has disrupted his plans.

"I wanted to open the jar as soon as possible, but now that the jar shop is gone, can I still kill that man?"

Sasuke thought to himself, clenching his fists, his face grim.

"Sigh, Sasuke, do you think Mr. Lin Mo's shop will come back?" Naruto asked, his tone revealing a hint of anticipation and anxiety.

Sasuke shook his head: "I don't know either."

He was equally perplexed by Lin Mo's departure.

Just as the two fell silent, Kakashi and Might Guy walked over and started talking.

Seeing this, Naruto and Sasuke exchanged a glance and pricked up their ears to eavesdrop.

"It is indeed strange that Mr. Lin Mo's shop suddenly disappeared."

Kakashi approached calmly, stroking his chin with his right hand. "However, I think he'll be back sooner or later."

"After all, such a mysterious shop wouldn't disappear without a reason."

Matt Kai crossed his arms, nodded, and continued, "That's right, Mr. Lin Mo's shop is indeed mysterious, but I believe his disappearance is not permanent."

"Perhaps he's just temporarily going to do something else and will be back soon."

After all, his student Tian Tian was no longer around.

He even made a special trip to the ninja tool shop to inquire about the information.

According to Tian Tian's parents, Tian Tian may not be back for about a month.

Moreover, Tian Tian always followed Lin Mo when he left.

This also means that Lin Mo will definitely come back.

Upon hearing these words, a glimmer of hope flashed in Naruto and Sasuke's eyes, and their previously low spirits improved slightly.

"Really?"

Naruto eagerly stood up and asked, "Will Mr. Lin Mo really come back?"

Kakashi nodded slightly, his eyes showing a hint of certainty: "I think so. Someone like Mr. Lin Mo won't disappear easily. His shop has probably just moved to another place temporarily."

Might Guy laughed heartily, "Yeah, kids, don't worry too much, just focus on training."

"Once Mr. Lin Mo returns, you will naturally have the opportunity to continue opening the cans to improve your strength."

"Besides, you can't just stop training just because Mr. Lin Mo's shop is closed. Don't keep pinning your hopes of getting stronger on those jars."

"In the end, strength belongs to oneself. If the jar can be improved, then improve it; if not, you still have to rely on yourself."

Sasuke frowned as Might Guy spoke.

Although doubts still lingered in his mind, he seemed to breathe a sigh of relief after hearing this analysis.

Kakashi and Might Guy's analysis gave him a glimmer of hope, at least he was no longer as lost and helpless as before.

"Then I can only hope that this person can come back soon."

Sasuke spoke softly, though his words still carried a hint of resentment, he seemed to be beginning to accept the current situation.

Naruto patted his cheeks, forcing himself to cheer up: "Alright, in that case, we can only wait for Lin Mo to return!"

"Teacher Kai is right. We can't be idle during this time. I still need to continue to get stronger."

"After all, that guy needs to master physical skills before he comes back."

I still have training to do.

The two gradually regained some fighting spirit.

Although Lin Mo's shop has temporarily disappeared, they know they cannot stop pursuing power. After all, the path of the ninja will never stop because of external changes. The two are eager for the jar, but they also know that a ninja ultimately depends on himself.

That's what Naruto was thinking.

Among the Hyuga clan.

Hiashi Hyuga sat in the spacious hall, gazing intently out the window.

Sunlight streamed through the window and fell onto the floor, reflecting his thoughtful expression.

He had just learned about Lin Mo's situation in detail from Tian Tian's parents, and now his doubts had completely dissipated, making him feel much more relaxed.

"I see. So Mr. Lin Mo's shop has temporarily left Konoha Village."

Hiashi Hyuga murmured to himself, the heaviness on his face gone, replaced by a relaxed expression. He had been uneasy about the sudden disappearance of the shop, worried that it would affect the future and development of his family.

But after learning more about it, he finally understood that Lin Mo's mysterious shop had not disappeared permanently, but had only been temporarily moved.

"As long as I wait a while, Lin Mo will definitely return to Konoha Village with that mysterious jar shop. It seems that all I need to do is wait patiently." Hyuga Hiashi chuckled.

Then, he stood up and walked towards the outside of the Hyuga clan.

This news should also be told to Tsunade.

With that in mind, Hiashi Hyuga went straight to the karaoke bar.

When he reached the entrance of the KTV, Hiashi Hyuga paused for a moment, knocked on the door, and then pushed it open and went inside.

The lighting was dim and warm, and Tsunade sat alone in the center, looking relaxed.

She held a glass of sake in her hand, a faint smile on her face.

"It's a Japanese football match."

Noticing someone enter, Tsunade looked up and was slightly surprised to see that it was Hiashi Hyuga.

She knew that Hiashi Hyuga was usually serious and wouldn't easily appear in a place like this.

So he put down his glass, his smile fading: "Any results?"

"Um.

,,

Upon hearing Tsunade's words, Hiashi Hyuga nodded: "Lady Tsunade, I just received news from Tenten's parents that we have a detailed understanding of the matter regarding Mr. Lin Mo's shop disappearing."

Upon hearing the name "Lin Mo," Tsunade's eyes immediately lit up, and she sat up straight.

The news of Lin Mo's shop suddenly disappearing made her uneasy.

She was especially baffled by those who relied on the jars.

But knowing that he couldn't alert the enemy, he could only suppress his confusion.

Hiashi Hyuga said he had a way, and now he has found one.

Thinking of this, Tsunade whispered, "Tell me, what's going on?"

When she spoke, there was a hint of anxiety in Tsunade's tone.

After all, the jar is related to whether her younger brother can be resurrected.

According to Tian Tian's parents, Mr. Lin Mo's shop did not disappear permanently, but rather temporarily left Konoha Village.

Hiashi Hyuga explained the situation: "Because Tenten has also left, this departure is only temporary, and he is expected to return in about a month."
