From Naruto onwards, I've become a dreamer.

Chapter 37 Beware of the Audience (Part 4)

Something is wrong!
Why did it turn out like this?

Cold sweat beaded on Yahiko's forehead, his mind racing with alarming warnings and a sense of foreboding filling his brain.

Of the three, he had the best overall perspective and could often see details that the other two could not.

Therefore, he is the leader of the Akatsuki organization, and his rich personal charisma can attract more people to join the organization.

But now, Yahiko feels that things are out of control, completely beyond his grasp.

"Yahiko, stop being so naive! Look at Hanzo, he's completely gone mad!" Nagato lowered his body, slammed his hands on the ground in a hand seal: "Konan, cooperate with me!"

Although he usually seems quiet and reserved, he is actually the most impulsive of the three.

Once it is determined that anyone poses a threat to Konan and Yahiko, Nagato will eliminate that danger at all costs!

At this moment, even Konan, who was originally the calmest, has been affected by the nightmare and has come to believe that Hanzo is the source of her suffering.

boom!
The next moment, Nagato and Hanzo collided.

As the kunai and sickle clashed, dazzling sparks flew in the air, and the sound of metal clashing rang out.

"Water Release·Water Dragon Bullet!"

"Earth Release·Earth Dragon Bullet!"

The clash of ninjutsu instantly expanded the battlefield.

One was a renowned master of Water Release, and the other possessed the Rinnegan, which had mastered all six chakra natures. The battle between the two was truly earth-shattering.

Nagato could use all kinds of ninjutsu with ease, without the slightest hesitation, as if he was born to use ninjutsu.

On the other hand, Hanzo, having already exhausted his stamina and chakra in the battle against Uchiha Muneki, now faces the Rinnegan and seems even more overwhelmed.

"Ninja Art: Poison Mist!" He opened his mouth and suddenly exhaled a large mouthful of purple smoke, which spread rapidly in all directions under the influence of the wind.

"Konan, retreat quickly!" Nagato immediately turned and retreated rapidly, simultaneously forming hand seals: "Wind Release: Great Breakthrough!"

Hoo ho ho! ! !
In an instant, a gale howled, and sand and stones flew everywhere.

The poisonous fog that was originally heading towards them was immediately blown away by the storm, curbing its spread.

But at that moment, Hanzo suddenly rushed out from the other side, his target Konan in mid-air: "Let's start with you!"

Wow!
The chain darted out like a venomous snake.

Xiao Nan, suspended in mid-air, had no time to dodge and was immediately bound tightly by the iron chains.

Immediately afterwards, Hanzo pulled downwards with force, dragging Konan down and slamming her heavily onto the ground.

boom!
The powerful impact caused Xiao Nan to cry out in pain, feeling as if her whole body had shattered.

"Successful!"

Hanzo leaped high into the air, his scythe slashing down like a cascading beam of moonlight.

"Konan!!!" Yahiko's eyes were red, and he could no longer care about anything else. He rushed over in one step.

when!
A kunai blocked the sickle.

Withstanding the impact from above, Hanzo's full-force strike nearly caused Yahiko to fail to block it.

Even so, in his panic, Yahiko was still suppressed, his knees slammed to the ground, and his shoulder was pierced by a scythe, blood gushing out.

"Nagato!" Yahiko cried out for help, blood trickling from his lips.

"Get out of my way!"

Nagato's furious roar arrived, accompanied by raging wind blades.

scoff!

The raging wind blade severed Hanzo's arm.

Blood gushed out, and Hanzo's face was contorted in pain, but the fierce look in his eyes was even more terrifying: "You took one of my arms, and I'll make you pay the price!"

He had already laid a deadly trap in this place!
"Fire Release: Exploding Flame Array!"

Suddenly, countless explosive tags appeared on the ground around Yahiko and Konan!

Under Hanzo's control, the explosive tags swarmed towards Yahiko and Konan like sharks drawn by the scent of blood.

The situation instantly became extremely dangerous!

Without time to think, Yahiko instinctively made a choice, abandoning his attempt to defend against the scythe above his head and instead grabbing Konan's arm tightly.

"Nagato—!"

He used all his strength, enduring the pain of his shoulder being cleaved, to throw Konan to the oncoming Nagato.

Nagato caught Konan, but the next moment, he saw a scene that broke his heart.

Hanzo kicked Yahiko, using the momentum to retreat while forming a hand seal.

"No!!!" "Yahiko!"

"burst!"

Boom! ! !

A massive, towering flame engulfed Yahiko.

Hundreds of explosive tags were detonated simultaneously, and the enormous destructive force even collapsed the nearby ground. Countless fragments of rock, carried by the shockwave, shot in all directions like projectiles.

"Yahiko!" Nagato rushed in, ignoring the still-burning flames.

However, the scene that came into view made him feel as if he had fallen into an ice cellar.

Lying in a charred pit, Yahiko's entire body was burned, and his legs had been blown off. Gone was his former high spirits; he was on the verge of death.

Xiao Nan was struck dumb, as if she had gone mad, her eyes empty and vacant.

"Cough cough. Pfft."

Yahiko's heavy coughing sounded to Nagato's ears, leaving his mind blank.

"Nagato." He lowered his head weakly, leaning on Nagato's shoulder, his bloodied hand slowly rising to touch the red-haired boy's face: "Take care of... Konan."

"Yahiko. Yahiko? Yahiko!"

Nagato stood frozen in place, biting her pale lips tightly, clinging helplessly to Yahiko: "Please don't die...please don't die!"

No matter how he called out, his friend's body in his arms gradually grew cold.

"Take good care of Xiao Nan"

The light in Yahiko's eyes faded little by little: "Our dream...I'm entrusting it to you."

patter
Yahiko closed his eyes, his limp hand hanging down on the ground.

"Do not!!!"

Nagato roared ferociously to the sky, his heart filled with boundless pain.

Watching his friend die was excruciating; it felt as if a piece of his heart had been ripped out with a knife.

The indescribable pain, the suffocating despair, felt like countless hands dragging him into a dark abyss. All the suppressed negative emotions erupted at this moment!

"Aaaaaah—Hanzo!!!"

Nagato roared like a wild beast, and two streams of bloody tears flowed from his purple Rinnegan eyes: "I will kill you!"

He bit his finger, then slammed it heavily onto the ground: "Summoning Jutsu: Demonic Statue of the Outer Path!"

boom!
Amidst the massive earthquake, a colossal elephant with a terrifying and ferocious appearance suddenly stood atop it.

Gazing at that terrifying, ferocious giant elephant, even the well-informed Hanzo felt a deep unease: "What...what is that?"

The monstrous elephant, resembling a human, braced its hands on the ground and let out a soul-rending roar.

Black rods emerged from the golem's abdomen, piercing Nagato's back and causing him to scream in agony.

"Hanzo!!!"

But even if the physical pain were ten thousand times greater, it could not compensate for even a fraction of the inner torment Nagato felt at that moment.

He endured the excruciating pain and formed hand seals to manipulate the demonic statue behind him!

Roar!
The Gedo Mazo opened its mouth and spewed out dozens of giant purple chakra dragons.

Hanzo's pupils contracted slightly, his expression changed drastically, and his intuition told him that the thing was dangerous!

However, just as Hanzo was about to escape, a sudden jolt struck deep into his brain, as if he had been struck by a hammer, leaving him frozen in place for less than a second.

But it was in that crucial second that Hanzo completely lost all hope of escaping.

boom! ! !
Filled with intense hatred and killing intent, the chakra dragon swooped down.

"what--!"

Hanzo, enveloped within, stared wide-eyed in terror.

He could clearly feel his life force and chakra draining away at an alarming rate.

His already aged face became even more terrifying as his chakra dissipated. In just a few breaths, Hanzo turned into a dried-up mummy, his skin resembling withered tree bark, with only a thin layer remaining, clinging tightly to the bones inside.

Having been drained of his life force, Hanzo fell from mid-air.

The battle is over.

The torrential rain fell as if silently conveying a profound, wordless sorrow.

There was an earthquake last night, the whole house was shaking. I was so scared that I ran outside without even putting on my shoes, and ended up catching a cold.
