Tap, tap, tap…

The sound of footsteps echoed as the Six Paths of Pain appeared on the top of Konoha’s tallest building.

Deva Path stood at the center, stepped forward, and stretched out one foot to step on the low railing.

With the powerful vision of the Rinnegan, he could see everything happening in the entire village.

His expression was cold, and his whole body exuded a majestic aura.

A few seconds later, Pain raised his hands high and entered his signature chant.

"Feel pain.”

“Contemplate pain.”

“Accept pain.”

“Know pain.”

“I will never forget my pain.”

“And now, the world shall know pain.”

"Shinra Tensei…"

Bzztt…

As Pain finished his chant, the high-powered speakers across Konoha blared simultaneously...

"Merciful gift from god..."

"But he cannot approve..."

…

Pain’s exclusive BGM is sponsored by Konoha Village’s music instructor, Uzumaki Qiao Feng.

Since the establishment of the Sannin Idol Group, Tsunade had asked Naruto to leave a shadow clone in the village, so this scene happened.

The Six Paths of Pain stood with their hands raised high and they looked forward with cold eyes.

And below them, a group of Konoha’s villagers and Shinobi were cheering and screaming.

"AHHHH!! PAIN!! I LOVE YOU!!"

"Ah! Encore! Encore!"

"Leader! Let me join Akatsuki too!!"

"I even bought the same circle lenses as you!"

Under the building, there are not only Konoha’s people, but also many Akatsuki’s fans who had traveled from afar after hearing the news.

Everyone wanted to witness this mysterious and powerful leader of the righteous organization up close.

The audience included people from all Five Great Nations, and even some from smaller countries like the Land of Birds, Land of Frost, and Land of Craftsmen.

While they came from different places, they all shared one thing, as they wore purple Rinnegan-patterned circle lenses, which was enough to show their enthusiasm.

As the Hokage, Tsunade stood outside the window of the Hokage Tower, looking at the overflowing crowds with a grin so wide it nearly split her face.

"HAHAHAHA!"

"We're rich! We're rich!!"

In her eyes, these passionate fans were like glittering gold, dazzling.

"Shizune! Pass down the order..."

"Tell the villagers to raise all prices by 30%... no, make it 50% directly!"

"These people are very rich!"

"Yes, Tsunade-sama!"

Shizune nodded in response, but but just as she was about to leave, hesitation appeared on her face.

"But... Tsunade-sama, it seems that our village don’t have enough accommodation for all of them..."

Bang…!

Tsunade was so angry that she slammed the table and then shouted loudly.

"Call Yamato!"

"Tell him to come back and build houses! Stop slacking off in Amegakure."

"If he delays the village’s money-making plans, I will skin him alive!!"

…

Today, not only Tsunade was excited, but even several Shinobi Clans’ Clan Heads were as giddy as first-time grooms.

The Clan Heads of the Ino-Shika-Cho sent all their clansmen to sell goods in every corner of the village.

The Yamanaka Clan sold flowers, glow sticks, balloons, and other trinkets.

The Nara Clan took the opportunity to sell their medicinal products and also Cult Mechanicus’s phones to foreign Shinobi.

As for the Akimichi Clan, they started selling snacks to the tourists.

Even Asuma had gone to the Sand City in advance to stock up on e-cigarettes and mobilized his clansmen to make money from these tourists.

"Come, come!"

"The latest model of the Machine Soul e-cigarettes... come and take a look, only 5,000 ryo and you can take it home!"

Asuma was holding a box and shouting, and Guy was beside him, helping to shout enthusiastically.

"Strange... Guy, have you seen that guy Kakashi recently?"

Guy pondered for a moment, then suddenly said with a thumbs up, "No."

"But! I know! My rival must be training hard in secret!"

"Damn! This guy is working hard behind everyone's back!"

"After this performance, I must double my training regiment!"

Asuma: "..."

‘Sigh.’

‘Why did I even ask this guy?’

‘Whatever. Kakashi disappearing for days was nothing new… everyone was used to it by now.’

‘He’d probably show up again in a few days.’

With that thought in mind, Asuma dragged Guy back into the crowd and frantically promoted the e-cigarettes.

At the performance venue, all the Shinobi with a little reputation in Konoha came out to do business.

Even Hiashi sent Neji to arrange accommodation for the tourists outside.

As for his own baby daughter... naturally, she was taken away by a certain yellow-haired delinquent.

"Ah! Damn it!"

"I’ve only been gone for a few days!"

"Why did Konoha Village become like this?!"

"What the hell is Senior Brother doing!"

Naruto crouched on the rooftop, his face scrunched up as he stared at Pain performing in the distance.

Deva Path, leading the other Paths of Pain, was swaying his hips and shaking his head with a cold, aloof expression, looking like a Shinobi Idol Group, attracting crazy screams from the female fans at the scene.

For some reason, Naruto couldn’t shake the feeling that Pain was basically doing a risqué dance for the fangirls on Konoha’s rooftops.

"Naruto-kun, isn't this good?"

"Father said our clan is making a lot of money this time."

"At this time, all the houses of the Hyuga Clan have been rented out."

"Father also said that he will be the one raising his grandchildren in the future…"

Hinata leaned against Naruto’s shoulder, her cheeks slightly flushed, and her white fingers were wandering mischievously around Naruto's waist.

"Hi-Hinata..."

"You can talk without... moving your hands."

"Sasuke’s right here."

Naruto pretended to be guilty, glanced at his good brother, and quickly grabbed Hinata's hand to prevent her from going any further.

"Move your hand..."

"Let me feel it..."

Hinata lay down beside Naruto's ear and blew a warm breath, which instantly made Naruto break out in a cold sweat.

‘Mistake! Huge mistake!’

‘If I had known this... I shouldn't have teased Hinata when we were little.’

‘Sasuke on the side couldn't bear to look at the two of them, and his eyes were rolling so far back they might’ve seen his own brain.

‘Damn it!’

‘Do you two really think I can’t hear your ‘whispering’???’

‘Or do you just enjoy flirting right under my nose for the thrill of it?’

"Hey."

"Why don’t you two go home and... settle things first?"

"I’ll go find the Leader myself."

Tap, tap, tap…

Just as Sasuke was about to leave, Konohamaru’s footsteps caught their attention.

He leaped up next to Naruto, turned his head to look at Sasuke, and subconsciously blurted out, "Ah!"

"Thin..."

Sasuke narrowed his eyes slightly and let out a cold, nasal hum.

"Huh?"

This sound instantly reminded Konohamaru of the moments when he was beaten up.

But fortunately, Konohamaru was a smart kid. He immediately stopped the three words that were about to come out of his mouth, and thought of a way to prevent Thin Ice Bro from beating him up...

He raised his fists in a boxing stance and started shaking his head side to side like a bobblehead.

"This..."

"Do you think my neck shaking looks good?"
