At present, Itachi Uchiha is still at a loss about how to join the Akatsuki organization, and doesn't even know if he can join the Akatsuki organization.
However, Chen Anxia was quite certain that in the near future, it wouldn't be him joining Akatsuki, but rather Akatsuki inviting him to join.
So, why is Chen Anxia so certain?
This question was not only incomprehensible to Itachi Uchiha, but also to Kushina Uzumaki.
Chen Anxia noticed their confusion and said directly, "In the land of inheritance - Mount Myōboku, there exists a great toad sage who is skilled in prophecy."
"And I also possess the same prophetic ability, which allows me to foresee fragments of the future."
"In the future I foresee, the Akatsuki organization will definitely invite you to join, and your code name after joining the Akatsuki will be 'Zhu'."
Chen Anxia's words shocked Itachi Uchiha and Kushina Uzumaki once again.
They never expected that Chen Anxia would possess such an incredible ability to predict time.
They didn't believe Chen Anxia would lie about this.
Because Chen Anxia's information was too detailed, unless he was connected to the Akatsuki organization, we would know whether what he said was true or false in time.
Meanwhile, Itachi Uchiha and Kushina Uzumaki believed Chen Anxia's previous statements about chakra even more.
In their view, what Chen Anxia said was very likely the future he had foreseen.
This also strengthened their resolve.
All of this was within Chen Anxia's expectations.
Although Chen Anxia intentionally used the Akatsuki organization, Itachi Uchiha's codename, and his prophetic abilities to gain Itachi Uchiha and Kushina Uzumaki's trust in him, the Akatsuki organization was a deliberate tactic.
However, Chen Anxia did not lie about his prophetic abilities, because his Eye of Origin could indeed see future scenes based on the cause and effect of things.
Furthermore, Chen Anxia had read the original work. With the original work as a foundation, Chen Anxia's 'prophetic ability' completely surpassed that of the Great Toad Immortal.
On the other side, Jiraiya, who was engaged in a fierce battle with Minato Namikaze, never expected that Chen Anxia would turn one of Konoha's spies against him in such a short time.
Of course, although Jiraiya was a high-ranking official in Konoha, he was unaware that Itachi Uchiha was a Konoha spy.
Therefore, even if Jiraiya found out, he probably wouldn't react much.
However, in the future, when Jiraiya sees the fully grown Uchiha Itachi, his reaction will surely be quite interesting.
As time passed, the commotion of Jiraiya's battle with Minato Namikaze finally attracted the attention of some people.
Might Guy, who had already fallen asleep, suddenly opened his eyes, looked in one direction with a solemn expression, and muttered, "Such strong battle fluctuations, who is fighting?"
As he spoke, Might Guy, disregarding that he was still wearing pajamas, quickly followed the battle fluctuations.
Not only Might Guy, but also Kurenai Yuhi, Asuma Sarutobi, the Ino-Shika-Cho clan leader, and other Jonin from Konoha felt this terrifying battle aura.
Amidst this, Nara Shikaku, after sensing the terrifying battle fluctuations, couldn't help but say in a deep voice, "With battle fluctuations of this level, the two sides currently engaged in battle have probably both reached the Kage level!"
Looking in the direction from which the battle's energy surged, Yamanaka Inoichi's gaze suddenly sharpened. "That looks like the Uchiha clan's stronghold!"
Upon hearing this, Choza Akimichi stopped eating his snacks and exclaimed in surprise, "Could it be that the Konoha higher-ups' operation against the Uchiha clan, as Shikaku speculated, has begun?"
Upon hearing this, Yamanaka Inoichi couldn't help but turn his gaze to Nara Shikaku.
Nara Shikaku remained silent and did not respond immediately.
A moment later, Nara Shikaku gently shook his head and replied, "I'm not sure either, because if it were an operation targeting the Uchiha clan, it certainly wouldn't have caused such a commotion."
"Furthermore, there's the question of the strength of the two sides in this battle. If one of them is Uchiha Fugaku, then who is the other? Could it be Lord Jiraiya?"
"You should know that since the Third Hokage's death, there have been no more Kage-level shinobi in Konoha's leadership or the Anbu, at least not openly..."
Upon hearing this, both Yamanaka Inoichi and Akimichi Choza fell silent.
Then, Nara Shikaku said, "Let's go, let's go take a look. I feel that the situation tonight has gotten a bit out of control."
With that, Nara Shikaku led the way toward the Uchiha clan's encampment.
Yamanaka Inoichi and Akimichi Choza did not hesitate upon seeing this and followed Nara Shikaku.
Although none of the three of them reached the Kage level, the combined strength of the Ino-Shika-Cho trio was enough to withstand, or even defeat, a Kage-level powerhouse.
Not only the Ino-Shika-Cho trio, but also Kurenai Yuhi, Asuma Sarutobi, and other Jonin who sensed the battle's fluctuations all rushed towards the Uchiha clan's base.
The headquarters of the Roots.
Danzo Shimura naturally sensed the terrifying battle aura as well, and his expression turned extremely ugly.
In Shimura Danzo's plan, the night of the Uchiha clan massacre should have passed peacefully, but now...
Thinking it over, Shimura Danzo couldn't help but curse, "As expected, the Uchiha clan are all useless!"
As he spoke, Shimura Danzo stared at the location of the Uchiha clan's residence with a grim expression.
Danzo Shimura knew that after tonight, he would be in a lot of trouble.
Regardless of their past, the Uchiha are still members of the village and hold positions in the security force.
Therefore, if the villagers were to learn that the Uchiha clan had been wiped out overnight, and that the Konoha leadership was behind it, it would undoubtedly chill their hearts and also impact the existing government.
This is something Danzo Shimura would absolutely not allow.
Thinking about it, Danzo Shimura's expression turned cold, and he said in a low voice, "I originally wanted to leave a single heir for the Uchiha clan."
"But now, none of the Uchiha clan members can live. Only the dead will not talk nonsense and are the easiest to manipulate."
"Don't blame me, Itachi..."
"If you have someone to blame, blame yourself for not completing the mission properly..."
......
Chapter 600: When we return, it will be the time to wash away the decay of Konoha in blood!
Might Guy was the fastest, arriving at the Uchiha clan's base in just over ten breaths.
In fact, Might Guy had already spotted Gamabunta from a distance.
Because Gamabunta's size is so large that it's comparable to a tailed beast.
The appearance of Gamabunta made Might Guy realize that the one fighting was the legendary Sannin - Jiraiya.
So, who was Jiraiya fighting? And why was the battle taking place at the Uchiha clan's stronghold?
A host of questions flooded Matt Kai's mind, leaving him with only one answer.
That means the Uchiha clan has betrayed them.
Only in this way could Jiraiya be persuaded to take action, and only then would the battle take place at the Uchiha clan's stronghold.
Might Guy was already aware of the Uchiha clan's ambitions.
Previously, the Uchiha clan's ambitions were kept in check because of the Third Hokage's suppression.
Now that the Third Hokage has passed away, it's not incomprehensible that the Uchiha clan would betray them.
Thinking this, Might Guy sped up, wanting to lend Jiraiya a hand.
But when Might Guy actually arrived at the Uchiha clan's residence, he witnessed a scene that shocked and amazed him.
This scene wasn't of the Uchiha clan's encampment, now reduced to ruins and littered with corpses, but rather of the figure battling Jiraiya.
"The...Fourth...Hokage!?"
The incredible sound came from Might Guy's mouth, shocking him so much that his mind went blank for a moment, and he didn't know how to react.
Might Guy never expected that the person fighting Jiraiya would be the former Fourth Hokage of Konoha, Minato Namikaze.
Not only Might Guy, but the other Konoha Jonin who arrived one after another were also shocked and incredulous after confirming the identities of the two sides in the battle.
A series of murmurs came from their mouths.
"Hey, hey, hey, what's going on?"
"Didn't the Fourth Hokage sacrifice himself during the Nine-Tails' attack? How could this be?"
"Could it be that the Fourth Hokage never died? Has he been hiding himself all these years? But why would the Fourth Hokage do that?"
"Why is Jiraiya fighting with the Fourth Hokage? Aren't they master and disciple?"
......
Amidst these murmurs, Nara Shikaku, who served as the Hokage's advisor during the Third Hokage's era, possessed extraordinary intelligence, reasoning ability, and insight.
After suppressing his inner shock, Nara Shikaku noticed Minato Namikaze's unusual behavior and couldn't help but exclaim, "Wait, the Fourth Hokage looks strange. Why are his eyes black?"
After Shikaku Nara's reminder, everyone else also noticed Minato Namikaze's unusual behavior.
However, although they noticed the anomaly, they still didn't know what had happened.
Although they had considered the possibility that someone was impersonating the Fourth Hokage, they still recognized the Fourth Hokage's signature Flying Thunder God Technique and Rasengan.
As far as they know, no one in the ninja world has yet mastered the Fourth Hokage's Flying Thunder God Technique.
This is not only because of the stringent conditions for mastering the Flying Thunder God Technique, but also because the Flying Thunder God Technique is a closely guarded secret of Konoha, a forbidden technique recorded in the Book of Seals, which no one except the Hokage of each generation can access.
Therefore, they knew that the Fourth Hokage in front of them, who looked somewhat strange, was indeed the Fourth Hokage, but they didn't know why he looked so strange.
Even Nara Shikaku didn't know.
At that moment, Might Guy spotted Kakashi and instantly teleported to his side, asking, "Kakashi, do you know what's going on?"
Upon hearing this, Kakashi did not hesitate and said directly, "I'm not sure either, but according to Jiraiya-sama, it seems to be a technique called Impure World Reincarnation that revived the master."
Kakashi's words sent a jolt through the hearts of all the Jonin present.
None of them had imagined that there was a ninjutsu in the world that could bring the dead back to life.
However, those who can become Jonin are not stupid. They know that such a heaven-defying ninjutsu must have flaws.
Otherwise, an organization that mastered this ninjutsu would have already dominated the ninja world.
Putting everything else aside, Minato Namikaze's current appearance alone is enough to explain a lot.
Nara Shikaku, however, grasped the crux of the problem and couldn't help but ask, "The Impure World Reincarnation technique? Then who cast this technique? Was it someone from the Uchiha clan? And why would they use the Impure World Reincarnation?"
Nara Shikaku's series of questions drew everyone's attention, and all eyes turned to Kakashi.
Upon seeing this, Kakashi turned his gaze toward Chen Anxia's direction and said, "The person who used the Impure World Reincarnation is not a member of the Uchiha clan."
"If I'm not mistaken, the person who used the Impure World Reincarnation technique should be Chen Anxia."
