The edge of the Death Forest.
Outside the camp, Shinnosuke's wife gently held their baby Konohamaru, standing there quietly waiting for her husband's return.
"Shin-chan, you're back."
Upon hearing his wife's familiar and warm voice, Shinnosuke, who had been looking serious, instantly snapped out of his reverie.
Turning his head, he looked at the innocent Konohamaru in his wife's arms, and the tension and pressure that had been building up in his heart instantly turned into a gentle warmth and tenderness.
"Konohamaru..."
Shinnosuke gently called his son's name, his tone full of a father's tenderness and affection...
"Have you been behaving well lately?"
The baby in his arms waved its little hands, and this heartwarming scene made Shinnosuke's subordinate, Hyuga Natsu, who was accompanying him, relax a little and show a relieved smile.
But at that moment, Shinnosuke inadvertently looked up, his gaze sweeping over the Death Forest not far away, and his expression instantly froze.
On the scorched earth in the distance, the Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju, slowly walked towards him, accompanied by two strangers dressed in long robes with black backgrounds and red clouds, their expressions cold and indifferent.
He was whispering something to Tobirama, with his father, the Third Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi, following behind him.
Shinnosuke's eyes were quickly drawn to the two black robes with red clouds, and a strange fear and tension suddenly rose from the depths of his heart.
This robe.
I saw it once in that dream that foreshadowed tragedy...
Beneath that black robe with red clouds lay the Rinnegan, which took her father's life!
Upon realizing this, Shinnosuke's heart raced instantly, and his previously gentle and relaxed expression stiffened and became serious.
Hyuga Natsu, Shinnosuke's wife, keenly noticed his sudden change in expression and couldn't help but show a worried look: "Shinnosuke, what's wrong?"
Shinnosuke did not respond immediately, but stared intently at Pain in the distance, as if trying to discern something from the man's cold and indifferent face.
He was suppressing an indescribable fear and shock, and his fingers trembled slightly involuntarily.
Under Shinnosuke's tense and solemn gaze, Pain seemed to sense something and slowly raised his head.
The purple Rinnegan was clearly and unobstructedly exposed to Shinnosuke's vision in that instant.
Those eyes, like a nightmare, sent a shiver down Shinnosuke's spine.
His face suddenly turned even paler, and he could hardly contain his fear.
This is the person who will kill his father in the future!
He was standing right in front of me, so clearly.
The Second Hokage, Tobirama, keenly noticed Shinnosuke's unusual behavior. His brow furrowed slightly, and a serious voice rang out: "Shinnosuke..."
What's wrong with you?
But Shinnosuke seemed not to hear Tobirama's question at all, and just stared at Pain.
His eyes revealed an undisguised wariness and hostility, and he seemed to have lost the ability to speak.
Seeing this, Hiruzen coughed softly twice, trying to remind his son to come to his senses.
Hearing his father cough, Shinnosuke finally snapped out of his daze.
She looked away and whispered to cover it up, "It's nothing, sorry, I was just spacing out..."
Tobirama's gaze lingered on Shinnosuke's face for a moment, but he did not immediately rebuke or question him. Instead, he slowly spoke.
"Shinnosuke, you've been working hard at the Fire Temple lately. Now that you're back in Konoha, go back and get some rest, and take good care of Konohamaru."
Upon hearing Tobirama's words, Shinnosuke nodded slightly, suppressing the intense shock and fear in his heart, and replied in a low voice, "Yes... Second Hokage."
Even so, as he prepared to turn and leave, that indescribable emotion welled up inside him again...
This compelled him to raise his head once more and look at the silent and aloof Pain.
He finally couldn't hold back any longer, and said in a slightly trembling voice, "Those...those eyes...are they the legendary Rinnegan?"
Rinnegan!?
Upon hearing this, all the Konoha ninjas around looked up in surprise, staring in shock at the indifferent stranger.
Pain calmly and serenely met Shinnosuke's gaze. He said nothing, simply allowing the other to silently observe his Rinnegan. A brief and eerie silence fell over the atmosphere.
Tobirama did not reprimand Shinnosuke for his abruptness and abnormality, but instead watched the scene with a blank expression, seemingly quietly assessing some important information.
Orochimaru was not present at the scene.
Orochimaru had briefly joined the Akatsuki organization in the past and had used Akatsuki's resources to conduct research in astronomy and ninjutsu.
Now that he has returned to Konoha...:
Encountering Payne again would be awkward and inconvenient, so he did not choose to appear in this sensitive situation.
After a moment, Tobirama broke the silence with a calm voice: "The leader of Amegakure does indeed possess the Rinnegan."
As soon as he finished speaking, the surrounding ninjas couldn't help but whisper among themselves, their expressions filled with shock and awe.
Upon hearing Tobirama's confirmation, Shinnosuke's heart did not calm down; instead, it became even more complicated and conflicted.
The Rinnegan, the terrifying person who killed his father in his dream, is now being treated as an honored guest by Konoha?
The contradiction between reality and dreams caused Shinnosuke immense pain and confusion.
He knew that no matter how he acted at this moment, it would seem abrupt and abnormal, so he could only force himself to calm down and try his best to hide his true emotions.
He lowered his head deeply, hugged Konohamaru tightly in his wife's arms, and forced a stiff smile: "I'm sorry to have worried everyone... I was just too shocked by the rumors about the Rinnegan, and I lost my composure."
Tobirama stared at Shinnosuke, as if he could see through his inner turmoil and unease, but he did not delve into it further, and simply said something.
"Alright, let's go back now. The Five Kage Summit is about to begin, and Konoha Village will undergo many changes. Everyone needs to be fully prepared."
After speaking, Tobirama turned to look at Pain and Konan, signaling them to continue following him into the camp to discuss the details further.
Just as Shinnosuke brushed past Pain!
A strange aura suddenly emanated from Payne, like a dark wind brushing against his senses.
Shinnosuke stopped abruptly, his body stiffened slightly, and a look of confusion and bewilderment appeared in his eyes.
He subconsciously glanced back at Payne's back, feeling a strange and chilling aura that sent a shiver down his spine.
This is absolutely not the breath a living person should have!
This feeling is more like some kind of power that transcends life and death, a mysterious existence that does not belong to people in this world.
Hinata Natsu and Shinnosuke's wife, who were standing nearby, looked worried and puzzled when they saw him suddenly stop and stare at Pain with a strange look in his eyes.
"Shin-chan, what's wrong?"
His wife asked in a worried, soft voice.
Shinnosuke seemed completely oblivious to her voice, his expression dazed yet focused as he stared intently at the distant direction of the Death Forest, his brow furrowed.
Soon, he seemed to have grasped some crucial information...
Completely ignoring the concerned looks from his wife and Hinata Natsu beside him, he slowly walked towards the outer edge of the Death Forest.
Witnessing this scene, Hyuga Natsu felt increasingly uneasy and worried, and couldn't help but want to call out to her captain...:
It brings to mind many things about the Temple of Fire.
She suddenly didn't dare to speak...
On the other side of the camp, the Second Hokage, Tobirama, had already sat down with Pain and Konan, discussing in a serious and detailed manner everything that had happened in the Land of Water.
Tobirama listened attentively to Konan's detailed account of the battle between Danzo and the masked man, especially the detailed description of the duration of the masked man's Hollowfication ability.
He solemnly recorded every key piece of intelligence, rapidly analyzing the current situation in the ninja world and the true strength of the enemy.
Throughout this process, Payne and Konan also demonstrated an extremely rational and clear attitude, providing detailed information about the intelligence they possessed.
They shared nothing with each other, clearly demonstrating a strong commitment to cooperation.
However, while the two sides were exchanging intelligence in an orderly manner, an even more dangerous situation was quietly brewing on the outskirts of the Death Forest.
At this moment, Shinnosuke had arrived at a remote and secluded area on the outskirts of the Forest of Death.
His expression was cold and serious, and his entire aura became colder and more eerie than ever before.
He stood in the scorched and dark woodland, surrounded by silence, with a faint breeze carrying an eerie atmosphere.
The next moment, Shinnosuke slowly raised his hands and began to form hand seals quickly and skillfully.
The movements were clean and efficient!
"Spiritual communication!"
A colossal, terrifying statue of a heretic slowly emerged from beneath the ground and appeared before Shinnosuke.
The evolved external path's image has a bizarre and enormous body, exuding a chilling sense of oppression.
A scarlet and eerie Mangekyou Sharingan was embedded in his forehead, radiating a chilling light.
Shinnosuke stared calmly and deeply at the Buddha image, his hands continuing to form hand seals rapidly. In the next instant, the Sharingan on the Buddha image's forehead suddenly opened!
In an instant, countless eerie dead tree branches seemed to come alive, extending wildly and piercing deep into the ground with astonishing speed and power!
Like an invisible and enormous spider web, it spread rapidly outwards, exploring some hidden existence in all directions.
Shinnosuke stood there, motionless, his expression solemn and focused.
At this moment, consciousness seemed to be completely connected with that statue, capturing the most hidden fluctuations in the air and underground through the power of the Sharingan and the mysterious power of the Dry Wood Release.
Finally, after a short while, Shinnosuke suddenly opened his eyes, a sharp and excited glint in them.
He's found it!
The true owner of that Rinnegan is currently hiding in a remote and secluded place near Konoha Village.
The fluctuations there were faint and hidden; if it weren't for Shinnosuke's powerful sensory abilities, aided by the Outer Path Dharma Image and the Dry Wood Release, it would have been almost impossible for anyone to discover it.
At this moment, Shinnosuke's heart was filled with complex and paradoxical emotions.
He was originally just a Konoha ninja, bearing the responsibility and hopes of his clan, his father, and the village, but at this moment, a power and ambition that even he himself felt was surging within him.
The power of the Rinnegan... the bizarre abilities of the Outer Path Dharma Image...
He was able to perceive the location and existence of the Rinnegan's true form with such clarity and precision!
"I see. The true form of the Rinnegan is right there."
At that moment, Shinnosuke slowly put on the Anbu mask.
Meanwhile, in a secluded corner of the Death Forest, Nagato was quietly resting with his eyes closed.
Although he had repaired some of his physical damage with the help of White Zetsu cells, the need to remotely control Pain to negotiate with Konoha had expended a great deal of his mental energy and chakra, leaving him in a less than ideal condition.
Just as Nagato was trying to concentrate and stabilize Pain in the distance, a sharp and cold killing intent suddenly surged in the air!
Nagato suddenly opened his eyes, his expression instantly becoming extremely solemn and vigilant.
Almost simultaneously, three sharp kunai, carrying a fierce killing intent and swift speed, attacked from all directions, heading straight for Nagato's location.
Nagato reacted immediately, instinctively retreating rapidly in an attempt to dodge the sudden attack.
The moment the kunai pierced the ground, a deafening explosion erupted, and intense flames shot into the sky!
The scorching shockwave instantly tore the surrounding air apart. Amidst the intertwining flames and smoke, a large number of twisted and pale dead trees eerily surged up from the ground, stretching out wildly as if they were alive, completely sealing off the entire area.
Immediately afterwards, a chilling wave of chakra rapidly spread from the center of the explosion.
The earth trembled and cracked open, and four eerie miniature Buddha statues slowly emerged from the ground, as if awakening from the depths of hell, exuding a chilling and sinister aura.
Each Buddha statue is sculpted with lifelike detail, its face serene yet enigmatic.
Most terrifyingly, these Buddha statues strangely opened their eyes...
Pairs of blood-red eyes, gleaming with an eerie and ominous light, coldly stared at Nagato, who was trapped in the center.
Under the eerie gaze of the Buddha, Nagato felt as if he were being completely locked onto by countless strange eyes!
The surrounding space seemed to be pressing down on his breathing and chakra flow.
A black figure descended silently from the wind.
The movements were light and silent, landing like a ghost.
It was a ninja dressed in Konoha's Anbu uniform. His tall and resolute figure stood amidst the dust and dead trees from the explosion, his face hidden behind a cold mask, making it impossible to see his expression.
Even beneath the mask, his crimson Sharingan, radiating an eerie light, stared intently at Nagato.
"Found you: the holder of the Rinnegan."
The cold, deep voice of the ANBU ninja rang out from behind the mask, revealing undisguised killing intent and threat in his words.
"Konoha's...Anbu?"
Nagato was very surprised.
Why would Konoha's Anbu be here...?
