Chapter 28: The Akatsuki
As he was looking around, he saw that Obito already a full-time member became a member since he killed Hidan ahead of time.
Pain seeing the unfamiliar face proceeded to talk
"Who are you?"
"Ah I'm just a nobody so don't mind me. I just took Sasori and Deidara's ring when they died. But more importantly can I ask you a question, Mister Pain?"
Although Pain was surprised that this person knew his name, He just shrugged it off and just told him to ask since he, as a God, should entertain mortals sometimes.
" Why did you decide to pursue your so called peace when you could've just enjoyed your life away from ninja war now that you're strong? While I agree that your Idea of mass destruction weapon is effective for peace, when you die, everything will just go back to what they were before so why even bother?"
Pain then proceeded to explain that a mortal such as Tetsuya will never understand the thinking of a god.
"A god huh? You do know that that rinnegan isn't even yours right? The rinnegan is the sharingan's ultimate evolution so why would an Uzumaki like you even possess it."
Pain and Konan were immediately curious about what Tetsuya implied while Obito was livid and told Pain that Tetsuya was trying to deceive him.
Tetsuya didn't care about Obito and just continued to talk.
"You know the Rinne Tensei of the rinnegan, right? You're just a pawn to resurrect Uchiha Madara after you've assembled all the Biju. Also that masked guy isn't Madara, he's just also Madara's pawn whose role is to trick you into collecting the Biju and use you to resurrect Madara."
"Kisame and Obito, your so-called Eye of the moon doesn't really exist, it's just a hoax to revive the mother of the sage of six paths."
It was now Black Zetsu's turn to turn livid. Obito also was surprised that this unknown man knew his identity.
"Ah. Black Zetsu, nearly forgot about you, Hagoromo and Hamura are still alive. They were aware of your presence since the beginning but couldn't find you so they decided to accumulate forces and wipe out Kaguya once and for all if she reappears so good luck with that."
Although it was a lie, Black Zetsu had no choice but to believe it since the man in front of him knew things that shouldn't be known to other people.
"Also, Kakuzu, your hard earned money was spent by Konan to buy tons of explosive tags. She has around 600 billion of them so you may want to look into that."
"And last, Uchiha Itachi, you should just go back to Konoha and give Sasuke your eyes earnestly since he already knows everything. If you really have a death wish, just go to the old Uchiha hideout on the 28th of February, otherwise, just come to Konoha before then to explain yourself properly."
Seeing that he successfully sowed seeds of discord, Tetsuya quietly left.
…
After a few days of sightseeing in Suna, Tetsuya and his team finally came back to Konoha.
After reporting into the Hokage's office, Tsunade finally asked Tetsuya if he was from the same timeline as adult Sasuke since he would always conveniently know something.
Tetsuya then sighed and decided to come clean since Tsunade was already suspicious of him and he didn't have much to hide anyway. Although he wouldn't reveal that this world is just manga.
"No, I'm not from the same timeline as that Sasuke. To be honest, I should've died during the Kyubi rebellion but I miraculously survived after another soul merged into my body.
That other soul had future memories from the original timeline. Even memories beyond Adult Sasuke time.
And as you might have already suspected I was the one who sent those files of the Akatsuki."
While everyone was surprised by what tetsuya said, Naruto was still hung up on the fact that the one-handed guy who came 2 years ago was Sasuke from the future.
After asking some follow-up questions and clarifications, Tsunade finally asked how they should proceed in the future since Tetsuya was the one most familiar with the future.
"I think we should send a delegation to Amegakure to negotiate with them first. If it fails, we should launch a full attack on them and destroy Nagato's rinnegan because we need to prevent Madara's resurrection at all cost.
Although we have good odds at winning against the Akatsuki now, Madara is on a whole other level. Even if all of the Major ninja villages made an alliance against him, I don't think we could win. Unless Naruto and Sasuke gets the power of the six paths like their future selves, we can't win against him."
…
A few days later,
Itachi arrived at the gates of Konoha asking for an audition with the Hokage.
Since they were already made aware that Itachi may come back, Izumo and Kotetsu escorted Itachi to the Hokage's office.
Sasuke and Yuzume were then called to the Hokage's office. Tetsuya was also there just to look.
Itachi then stood in place for 30 minutes while Sasuke was yelling at him. The others were just waiting patiently for them to finish.
After a while, No decisions was made and Itachi's sentence would be postponed to after they dealt with the Akatsuki threat.
Itachi also gave his eyes to Sasuke and finally got the Eternal Mangekyou sharingan.
...
Half a month later,
Tsunade sent a team to Amegakure composed of Tetsuya, Naruto, Sasuke, Karin, Kimimaro, Jiraya, Kakashi and Maito Gai with Itachi serving as a guide since they were currently Konoha's strongest force and could destroy the Akatsuki in case the negotiation fails.
