Chapter 79: 79. Infiltrating Amegakure
Izuna walks out of Hokage Office to prepare for his departure.
'This infiltration mission is going to take some time. I will depart after meeting with Naruto.'
Izuna flickers towards Senju compounds. He enters Senju compounds and enters Tsunade's house.
"Naruto… Naruto…"
"Naruto had just left the house. He is out in the playground to play with his friends." Shizune walks out of the house and answers to Izuna.
"Thanks, Shizune-san!" Izuna thanks Shizune.
"Kid! Come here. I need your help." Tsunade shouts from inside.
Izuna and Shizune shake their head, and Izuna enters inside the house.
"Kid! you are quite rich. You have done plenty of S-Rank missions. Loan me a few million Ryos for a while, I will repay you in the future." Tsunade gestures Izuna.
"Tsunade San! You have yet to return the previous ten million Ryo. I won't lend any more money to you. Why don't you stop gambling and choose something else as your hobby?" Izuna questions her.
"You are no fun, kid. You don't know the thrill of gambling. Betting money on an uncertain outcome and then excitingly wait for the result." Tsunade hypes up.
"There is no thrill when you know the outcome already. No matter what, you will lose every single gambling match. Why don't you gamble with your money?" Izuna rebukes Tsunade.
"I have to take care of Naruto with my money. My expenses are too high and Naruto is a growing kid. Poor me!" Tsunade sulks.
"You and poor! Not in a billion years. You received the Senju clan's inheritance. That's a lot of money and you get a hefty salary from Konoha's hospital. I will take custody of all of your expensive 'Sake'." Izuna stands up and kicks the nearby floor.
A wine cellar popped up. There are many expensive Sakes and Wines lined together in the cellar. Izuna sucked all of them in a storage scroll. Tsunade looked at him with teary eyes.
"This is my installment for the Ten million Ryo. Tell me if you have more money to repay me. I will take my leave then, I have a mission to do." Izuna walks out of Tsunade's residence.
Tsunade sits in a corner of the room and draws circles on the floor with her finger.
"Tsunade-sama! Don't sulk over this matter. You should save some money." Shizune tries to comfort Tsunade.
Sob… sob…
"My premium Sake. I just imported it from Land of Honey. I haven't even taken a sip of this sake. I even hid it underground to prevent Izuna from noticing it." Tsunade continues to sulk.
Shizune continues to persuade Tsunade.
-------------
In the playground,
Naruto is taking a ride on the swing. Nearby, Sasuke is surrounded by lots of girls who pester him to play with them. I hid my presence with 'Light Cloak' and silently watch their interaction.
One of the civilian kids throws a stone at Naruto. Naruto avoids the stone by somersaulting from the swing.
"Hey! What's your problem? Why are you throwing a stone at me?" Naruto frowns and questions the kid.
"Give my father back to me? You killed my father Nine-tails. I won't forgive you."
Another civilian kid joins him and throws pebbles and stones at Naruto. Naruto avoids most of them but is still hit by a few stones.
Sasuke pushes back the girls and walks up to the civilian kids.
"Stop! If you dare lay even a finger on Naruto, then I will beat you up." Sasuke threatens them.
One of the civilian kids ignores Sasuke and throws a pebble at Naruto. Sasuke gets angry upon seeing this. He balls his small hands into a fist and punches the civilian kid in the gut.
The civilian kid faints from this punch. The nearby kids start to attack Sasuke, but he man-handles them.
'That's Sasuke for you. So, there are still rumors about Naruto. I have to talk to Hiruzen about this matter.'
Izuna silently walks behind Naruto and heals him.
'Guess Sasuke will take care of Naruto and it will form a bond of brotherhood in between them.'
Izuna flickers away from the playground towards Konoha's exit.
------------
Two days passed by,
Izuna has successfully infiltrated the Land of Rain, and he is on his way to Amegakure.
Izuna stares at the distant Amegakure with his Sharingan. Various sky-high metal towers are pointing towards the sky. The whole of Amegakure appears to be more industrialized and developed than the rest of Hidden Village. It is continuously raining inside the village.
He activates his 'Eye of Insight' to look at the rain. Small droplets of Chakra appear in his vision.
'So, that's how it is. 'Rain Tiger at Will Technique'- the technique that allows Nagato to monitor the entire Hidden Rain Village.
By infusing his own chakra in rain, he allows it to fall on the village. If any outsider enters the village, it will warn the Pain of the arrival of the intruder.
Quite a handy technique to use on the unsuspecting intruders. I don't have to be afraid of pain. I am capable enough to fight him.'
Izuna slowly walks towards the village and enters the village. The rain droplets fell upon his body and detect his Chakra signature.
-----------
Inside one of the metal-pipe tower,
A man with short spiky Orange hairs with many black-piercings through his body opens his eyes. His eyes are purple with many concentric circles covering the entire eyeball. He wore a large black cloak with red clouds.
"Konan! A very powerful Chakra Signature just entered the village. I just detected his presence with my Rain Tiger Technique. Locate him and relay his features to me."
Many paper butterflies combine to shape into a woman. The newcomer had short, straight blue hair with a bun, amber eyes with lavender eye-shadow, and a labret piercing.
"Pain, I will relay the feature of intruder immediately." Konan closes her eyes and sends some butterfly-shaped papers in the direction pointed by Pain.
She soon spots Izuna walking along the streets of Amegakure. Izuna notices the paper butterfly but ignores them.
'So, they are scouting for my identity. I have to see how high of a threat I am to them?' He continues to walk along the streets.
Konan opens her eyes and relays the feature of the new-comer to Pain.
"Pain, it is a problem. The newcomer is Izuna Uchiha, 'The Silent Shinigami'. He has infiltrated our village.
In Madara's list of people to stay from, he comes at the top. We can't fight and win against him. We have to find a way to drive him away from Amegakure." Konan warns pain.
"Shinigami or not, he has intruded into the territory of God. He will suffer God's retribution for that. Konan, intercept him, I will activate other Paths of Pain shortly and send them to help you." Pain orders Konan.
"Pain, are you sure about engaging him in a fight? Madara has warned us against it?" Konan tries to convince Pain.
"He isn't aware of my abilities, which gives me a huge advantage in a fight against him. Today, the Shinigami shall know pain." Pain interrupts Konan and walks away inside the tower.
Konan's entire body and clothing turned into multiple paper sheets, which folded into many butterflies and flew towards Izuna's location.
Meanwhile, Izuna is inspecting the buildings of Amegakure.
'They sure like to use lots of metal. Even their houses are made of metal. I can't find a single building made up of wood. This rain will decompose wood easily.
I guess that's why they are using stainless metal to construct their houses. But why is everything in the shape of huge metal pipes? What's with this design aesthetic?'
Izuna walks up to a nearby food stall and picks up the freshly fried Takoyaki.
"Obasan! How much for this Takoyaki." He picks up a tray with six golden Takoyaki in them. Drool leaks from his mouth as he gulps his saliva.
Izuna is in his original appearance but has removed the Konoha forehead protector to adopt the style of a traveler.
"That will be a hundred Ryo." The old lady replies.
Izuna takes out a hundred Ryo coin and hands it to the Old lady.
"You aren't from around here?" the Old lady inquires.
"Well, I am an Orphan who is traveling across the world. During my travels, I will sell my wares, which I bought in another nation. It is my first time in Hidden Rain Village, and I am excited to try its specialties. It sure is peaceful here. Any recommendation Obasan." Izuna warms up to the Old Lady.
The old lady invites him in and gives the freshly fried Takoyaki to him.
"We have been living a hard life. The civil war among the top powers of Ame had affected our livelihood. If you want to try local specialties, then my Takoyaki is one of them. Then there is the special day-to-day appliances built here in Ame. Our Ame is one of the most industrialized nations. You will find all kinds of machinery here." The Old lady explained everything to him.
"Hanzo-sama has taken good care of Amegakure to develop to this extent." Izuna tests the Old lady.
The old lady snaps at Izuna and throws things at him.
"Get out!...get out right now. I don't want to hear that name again. He executed my husband and family. Get out…" The old lady throws random things at Izuna.
Izuna quickly runs out of the shop. Many passersby stare at Izuna with an unfriendly expression. Izuna scratches his head and walks into a nearby alley.

Chapter 80: 80. First Encounter with Pain
Izuna slowly walks through the pipes of the Ame sewage system. He notices some Ame jounins on his trail, but he ignores them and continues to walk further along the pipes.
The Ame jounins continues to follow Izuna in the pipes. They soon reach a dead end, but the intruder is nowhere to be seen.
Before they could turn around, large rock hands bind them to the ground as Izuna appears out of nowhere. The Ame ninja struggles to get free, but he seals their Chakra.
"Searching for someone? Perhaps me!" Izuna slowly walks in front of them and interrogates them.
"I will ask questions and you will answer them. Now my first question, Where is Hanzo? If you dare lie to me, then the consequences won't be to your liking." Izuna threatens them.
"You can try anything you want, even our ghosts won't answer your questions. We... We have a God behind us. Go... God is constantly watching over us. He won't allow his subordinates to suffer." One of the Ame ninja gulps his saliva.
"If you want salvation, then submit to our God and follow us. Or else God's retribution will fall upon you." Another Ame ninja haughtily reply.
"I will deal with your God later. But first, you will suffer my retribution."
'Genjutsu: Sharingan'
"Say hello to Mil-tan." Izuna has an evil grin on his face.
"No!...Somebody help! Help me. Save me from this monstrosity. Nooo….. let me go! No… Not there. No…" The Ame ninja struggles desperately.
Izuna turns to another ninja and smiles at him,
"If you won't answer my questions. Then it will be your turn next. Trust me, you don't want to know what kind of suffering your friend is facing right now."
The Ame ninja continues to scream for help. The other ninja gulps his saliva, his back drenches in a cold sweat.
"I know nothing. Angel-sama ordered us to intercept the intruder. That's… that's all." The Ame ninja stutters.
"I don't want to know about your God or Angel. Tell me about Hanzo. Where is Hanzo? Give me the location of Hanzo's residence." Izuna questions him.
"I… I know nothing about it. Please spare me. I won't bother you again. I won't even report this to Angel-sama." The Ame ninja pleads.
Many Origami butterflies surround Izuna. The paper butterflies open up to reveal many paper bombs.
Boom…
The paper bombs explode before the Ame ninja could react. The smoke clears to reveal Izuna, who is completely fine.
Izuna cracks his neck and looks at the newcomer. The Origami papers surround him again and bind his body. The remaining papers turn into the upper body of a woman who held a paper spear in her hand and stab it toward Izuna.
"You know! You are underestimating me." A streak of purple lightning flashes and crumbles all the papers.
'Lightning Release: Purple Lightning'
The Origami papers float and shape into a woman.
"Angel-sama! Angel-sama! Save me, Angel-sama. He held me hostage and interrogated me. But Angel-sama, I have revealed nothing to him." The Ame ninja pleads to Konan.
"Get out of the way. You are being a nuisance. I will personally deal with him." Konan replies in a cold tone.
The Origami papers turn into many shurikens and kunais and shoot towards Izuna.
'Fire Style: Great Fireball Jutsu'
Izuna spews out a giant fireball without making any hand signs. The fireball burns the paper kunais and shurikens.
'Dance of the Shikigami: Paper Chakram'
Konan raises her hands and shapes many Origami papers into a large paper Chakram which spins rapidly. She launches the Paper Chakram towards Izuna.
The paper Chakram turns into multiple Chakram mid-air, Konan manipulates them.
'Lightning Release: Raikiri blade'
Izuna stretches his right hand and forms a large lightning blade. He slashes the paper Chakram into halves and cuts Konan's chakra from them.
Konan infuses more chakra and turns it into multiple Origami papers. The Origami paper shapes into large wings behind her, which she directs towards Izuna.
"So, you are the Angel. The Messenger of God. That's a fancy appearance right there. Impersonating or I would say cosplaying as an Angel." Izuna taunts Konan.
Konan ignores Izuna's taunts and points a finger towards him.
'Dance of the Shikigami: Paper Rain'
The paper wings shoot the paper's projectiles at a very high velocity.
'Inferno Release: Blazing Destruction'
Izuna spews out a concentrated red fire beam from his mouth, which collides with the paper. The highly concentrated flames incinerate the papers and travel towards Konan.
The flames incinerate her paper body into ashes.
"Paper Clone."
Izuna frowns. The ground turns into many papers which engulf Izuna. Many paper bombs appear amidst the papers and detonate.
Boom…
The explosion engulfs Izuna. After a few seconds, the smoke clears out to reveal Izuna shrouded in a silver Chakra skeletal ribs. He is perfectly fine with no damage to his body. Even the skeletal construct is unharmed.
���That was a pretty nice trick. But Playtime is over, I will have to capture you to get my answers."
A large skeletal hand grabs the paper body of Konan.
"You are my hostage now. Now answer my questions, where is Hanzo of the Salamander? What happened to him? " Izuna questions Konan.
'It was during this time when Pain killed Hanzo. But I want to confirm it from her.'
"Answer my questions within the next ten seconds or else I won't mind turning you into a corpse." Izuna threatened Konan.
"You are overestimating yourself, 'Silent Shinigami'. You are in the territory of God if this is the extent of your power, then forget about getting alive out of here." Konan remarks confidently, with no change in her expression.
"Then summon your God here. I will also like to taste the true power of your so-called God." The Susanoo arm squeezes paper Konan tightly.
'Shinra Tensei'
A powerful repulsive force acts upon Izuna and throws him out of the pipe. The powerful force flung Izuna out of Amegakure through many metal buildings and towers.
'Metal Release: Adamantine Skin'
Izuna coats his body in Metal Chakra and prevents damage from the collision. Konan turns her body into various paper butterflies and avoids harm.
At the outskirts of Amegakure,
Izuna stands up from the rocks and debris. He dusts up his clothes and cracks his knuckles.
"I am fired off for this fight. It has been a while since I had time to go all out. I hope Pain will give me a decent fight."
'I can feel my blood boiling when thinking of a fight against Pain. Is this the side-effect of being Madara's descendant? I knew grandpa Madara was famous for his lust for battle. Maybe I have inherited some of his characters?'
Izuna stands up and floats out of the crater on an Iron pipe.
"So, you are the leader of Akatsuki? The so-called God. Have you dealt with Hanzo already? Or are you manipulating him and ruling Amegakure from shadows?" Izuna questions the newcomer.
The newcomer has large orange hairs tied into a ponytail. He had many black rods as piercing all over his body. The newcomer wore a black robe with red clouds pattern.
'Summoning Jutsu'
The newcomer summons a large red and white crab summon. The crab spits out a white corrosive foam from his mouth. The foam surrounds Izuna and corrodes everything in its way.
'Scorch Release: Extreme Steaming Murder'
Izuna makes some hand signs and throws out a large yellow orb towards the crab. The yellow orb evaporates the white corrosive foam and collides with the Crab summons.
Steam rises from the crab's body as the crab gets cooked. The body of the crab shrivels and all the water in its body evaporates. A meaty aroma rises in the surrounding and the crab summons disappears in a puff of smoke.
"That was a well-done crab. Too bad, I don't have any salt, pepper, and sauce to enjoy the dish." Izuna jokes at Pain.
Pain looks at Izuna with a blank expression,
"Shinigami or not, you are still a man. But through infinite pain and suffering, I have transcended humanity. Yes, from a man to God; I have attained Godhood.
Now watch the power of a God with your eyes." Pain opens his arms widely. A large summoning seal appears beside him.
'Summoning Jutsu'
----------------
Inside an underground hideout,
Black Zetsu opens his eyes and walks up to a masked Obito.
"Obito! An unexpected situation had arisen. The Uchiha boy with the moniker of 'Silent Shinigami' is facing against Pain. The boy infiltrated the Amegakure earlier and now he is engaged in a fight against Pain.
He easily defeated the Konan, which forced Pain to show his hands. It is hard to decide a winner between the Boy and Pain. We can't allow our chess piece to fall so easily. We have to intercept their fight. We can't allow things to fall apart so easily even before we put our 'Eye of the Moon' Plan in motion. Help Pain deal with the nuisance.
You don't have to defeat the kid, just separate both of them from each other. Also, summon rest of our members."
Obito stands up and disappears into a swirling portal while remarking.
"The plan won't fall apart. I will handle the situation."
Black Zetsu enters the grounds and disappears from the hideout.
