The Sharingan possessed terrifying insight. Ordinary chakra-based disguises like the Transformation Technique or Shadow Clone Technique would be instantly exposed under the observation ability of a Mangekyō Sharingan.
After thinking for a moment, Chika suddenly snapped her fingers.
"Since ninjutsu disguises won't work… then we'll just use makeup!"
The moment the words left her mouth, however, Chika immediately regretted them.
Because makeup was basically useless too.
The Sharingan could directly observe a person's chakra flow and chakra signature. Given her relationship with Itachi Uchiha, Itachi would probably recognize her instantly with one glance alone.
Hell, he might even instinctively clutch his waist the moment he saw her.
"…No, that's unreliable."
Chika sighed helplessly while resting her chin against her hand.
In truth, with her current strength, she could simply have Hidan and Kakuzu escort her directly into the Akatsuki hideout by force.
As for Pain?
Even all Six Paths of Pain together were no longer enough to truly threaten her Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan.
But that would only solve the problem temporarily while creating an even larger one afterward.
The entire world situation in Naruto was basically one giant chain of manipulation.
Kaguya Otsutsuki manipulated Black Zetsu to revive herself.
Black Zetsu manipulated Madara Uchiha.
Madara manipulated Obito Uchiha.
Obito manipulated Nagato Uzumaki.
And Nagato used Akatsuki as his tool.
Chika firmly believed her greatest advantage as a transmigrator wasn't raw strength, but rather her understanding of the original storyline.
She wanted to improve the future.
Not completely destroy it.
If the plot changed too drastically and events spiraled into completely unknown territory, then even her foresight advantage would disappear.
That was the true thing Chika feared.
Seeing Chika's troubled expression, everyone present began racking their brains trying to think of solutions.
Unfortunately, the combination of the Sharingan and the Rinnegan was simply too unreasonable.
Trying to infiltrate Akatsuki through ordinary disguise methods was practically impossible.
Just as everyone fell into silence, a certain reckless immortal suddenly raised his hand.
"Then don't disguise yourself at all," Hidan said seriously while lifting his arm high into the air. "Just use the Young Lady identity directly!"
Everyone froze.
They originally wanted to complain about Hidan's bizarre train of thought, but unexpectedly, Chika's eyes suddenly lit up.
Then
She burst into laughter.
"Hidan… you're actually right."
Everyone stared blankly at her.
"Since disguises won't work, then I'll simply change my appearance entirely."
Chika slowly stood up.
"That's easy enough."
A faint smile appeared on her lips.
"Looks like… we're really leaving Konoha."
Hidan's random nonsense had unexpectedly inspired her.
Since ordinary disguises would be seen through anyway, there was no need to continue worrying about hiding her identity through ninjutsu.
She simply needed an identity suitable for joining Akatsuki.
Kakuzu, being far more intelligent than Hidan, immediately understood Chika's meaning.
"Boss…"
His expression changed slightly.
"You're not planning to become a missing-nin… are you?"
The moment those words were spoken, everyone present became shocked.
All eyes immediately turned toward Chinatsu.
Meanwhile, Chika simply crossed her arms and smiled faintly, tacitly acknowledging Kakuzu's statement.
To join Akatsuki naturally, having a clean identity was impossible.
At minimum, she needed to become an S-rank rogue ninja.
As for how to become one…
That part was actually very simple.
After all, although Danzo Shimura had already been dead for quite a long time, he could still continue contributing value even after death.
Publicly speaking, Danzo had still been one of Konoha's upper authorities.
As long as certain "evidence" appeared…
And as long as news spread that Chika had killed him before defecting…
Her missing-nin identity would naturally become established.
However…
If she truly left Konoha as a rogue ninja…
Then Naruto and Sasuke…
Chika slowly closed her eyes and inhaled deeply.
When she opened them again, her gaze had already become firm.
"Aburame Torune."
"Yamanaka Fū."
"Yes, Young Lady!"
The two immediately straightened their backs respectfully.
"You two will handle this matter."
"Move quickly."
"I want the title of missing-nin attached to my name before tomorrow."
"We guarantee mission completion!"
The two nodded firmly.
Then they immediately vanished from the Uchiha residence using the Body Flicker Technique.
Meanwhile, Chika slowly stood up from the sofa and casually brushed her hair back with one hand while walking toward Naruto and Sasuke's room.
Looks like…
It's finally time to talk properly with those two little brats.
As expected of former Root elites personally trained by Danzo, Aburame Torune and Yamanaka Fū worked with terrifying efficiency.
Shortly after receiving their orders, massive quantities of "promotional posters" had already been secretly printed.
Then the two immediately began pasting them throughout Konoha during the middle of the night.
Walls.
Doors.
Alleys.
Lamp posts.
Storefronts.
They pasted them everywhere.
Once dawn arrived, the entire village would definitely explode into chaos.
Meanwhile, deep into the night, the Hokage Office remained brightly lit.
Hiruzen Sarutobi was still processing mountains of official documents while yawning tiredly.
Suddenly
Knock knock knock!
"Enter."
Several ANBU members instantly rushed into the office.
Each of them held a large poster in their hands.
"Hokage-sama! Please look at this immediately!"
Hiruzen frowned slightly before taking the poster.
However, the moment he saw its contents
His pupils instantly shrank violently.
Even his hands began trembling.
"Wh… what is this?!"
"Hokage-sama! Someone is secretly posting these everywhere in the village right now! We still haven't identified the culprits!"
"Investigate?!"
Hiruzen suddenly slammed the desk loudly.
"There's no time for that!"
"Immediately mobilize every available ANBU member!"
"Tear every single one of these down before sunrise!"
"Not one can remain visible to the public!"
"Yes, Hokage-sama!!!"
The ANBU instantly vanished using the Body Flicker Technique.
Soon afterward, a rare full-scale ANBU nighttime operation began throughout Konoha.
Black-clothed ANBU figures continuously flickered across rooftops while frantically tearing down posters everywhere they appeared.
"Why are there so many?!"
"They're even pasted onto stray cats and dogs!"
"Damn it! There are some on Hokage Rock too!"
Meanwhile
While the ANBU desperately tore posters down…
Aburame Torune and Yamanaka Fū continued crazily pasting up even more.
"Fū… haven't we already pasted this street before?" Torune suddenly asked uncertainly.
"You're imagining things."
Fū calmly continued pasting posters.
"Sunrise is coming soon. Hurry and paste more."
"…Makes sense."
Thus the two continued launching their frenzied "paper-style assault" throughout Konoha until nearly every area had been covered.
Finally, after an entire night of exhausting labor, the two stopped to admire their "masterpiece."
Then
One exhausted ANBU member after another suddenly appeared around them while panting heavily and clutching shredded poster fragments in their hands.
ANBU: "Finally… finally finished tearing them all down…"
