Naruto: A parody of the entire ninja world, the opening scene infuriates the Kage.

Chapter 174 Payne's Surprise and Doubt, Konan's Speculation

The man in black robes, or rather, Awei, was also amazed by Tsunade's monstrous strength.

It has to be said that Tsunade's superhuman strength is simply terrifying.

Gathering their chakra, Awei and Tsunade engaged in a fierce battle.

I imitated Pain's fighting style.

Understanding Tsunade's fighting style made it easier for Awei to deal with her.

"Boom~"

Suddenly, a surge of Rinnegan power appeared, and then Ah Wei unleashed Shinra Tensei.

"This technique..." Tsunade's eyes widened.

There's no mistake, this is Pain's technique.

So, is this man in black really Pain?

But why is Payne being so secretive?
The corpse puppets controlled by Pain's Nagato.

So, what's wrong with Pain himself? Why did Nagato cover Pain with his black robe? It was to avoid being recognized!

But why didn't Itachi tell her this important information?

Itachi doesn't know?

While thinking, Tsunade dealt with the black-robed man's Shinra Tensei.

After all, it's a technique of the Rinnegan.

The power of Shinra Tensei is extraordinary.

Even when facing Shinra Tensei, Tsunade dared not be careless in the slightest.

However, Tsunade still managed to spare some attention for Naruto.

After all, Shinra Tensei is a wide-range technique, and Naruto is not far away. It would be bad if Naruto were affected.

The man in black robes controlled the range of Shinra Tensei, and it did not affect Naruto.

An even bigger crater appeared in the ground.

Looking around, all that could be seen was ruin.

Tsunade suffered a minor injury, which she could quickly heal with her Healing Palm Technique, but instead of focusing on healing, she took Naruto and ran away.

Although he could have caught up, Awei didn't.

It slowed Tsunade down, but it also bought Pain some time.

If Pain can't catch up with Tsunade, then there's nothing we can do.

Awei was not satisfied with the Shinra Tensei he had just used; its power was still too weak.

It's also because he doesn't have much Rinnegan power.

If the power of the Rinnegan were more than 10 times greater, Tsunade would not have suffered a minor injury.

However, at this stage, the rate at which the power of the Rinnegan increases is very slow.

I still need to find some time to go to the moon.

He was determined to obtain the power of the Reincarnation Eye.

……

Pain, along with Konan, hurriedly left the village.

As dawn approached, Pain and Konan arrived at a forest.

There was a large crater in the ground in front of us, and broken trees were scattered around us.

There must have been a fight here.

Judging from the traces at the scene, the battle did not occur too long ago.

Then, the traces are used to analyze the two sides in the battle.

“It should be a battle between two people, one of whom is Tsunade, one of the Legendary Sannin of Konoha,” Konan said to Pain after observing for a moment.

“This… this is a mark that only Shinra Tensei could create, there’s no mistake, but how is this possible?” Payne asked in disbelief.

Konan was also surprised to hear what Payne said.

"What? Shinra Tensei?"

Shinra Tensei is a technique only available with the Rinnegan.

In other words, the person who fought Tsunade had the Rinnegan?

But it couldn't be Nagato.

The Rinnegan of the Six Paths of Pain is merely a projection, originating from Nagato.

In Konan's opinion, there is only one pair of Rinnegan, and it is on Nagato.

Or, if the Sage of Six Paths exists, then there are only two pairs of Rinnegan in this world!
But it can't possibly be the Sage of Six Paths fighting Tsunade!
So, there's actually someone with the Rinnegan hidden in the ninja world?

Payne thought for a moment, then stretched out his right hand and fired a 'Spicy Heavenly Shot' at the front.

Because the area was under control, it didn't cause much damage.

However, the commotion was still considerable.

After carefully observing the destruction caused by Pain's Shinra Tensei, both Pain and Konan frowned.

“There’s no mistake, it was definitely caused by Shinra Tensei. In other words, the person fighting Tsunade used Shinra Tensei,” Pain said.

"Is it possible to use Shinra Tensei without the Rinnegan?" Konan asked.

“That’s impossible,” Payne said with certainty.

"It couldn't be the Sage of Six Paths fighting Tsunade, could it?" Konan said.

Six Paths Immortals?

Payne immediately denied it.

The Sage of Six Paths is a figure from mythology who existed a thousand years ago, and may not exist in this era.

Even if the Sage of Six Paths really exists and is hiding in the shadows, there's no need for him to fight Tsunade!

"If Tsunade took Naruto away, and Naruto has Ashura's chakra, plus the Nine-Tails, then it's not entirely impossible to lure out the Sage of Six Paths," Konan calmly analyzed.

"This……"

“Actually, there’s another possibility,” Xiao Nan said.

"What?" The six Paynes looked at Konan from different directions.

Despite being watched by six Pain's, Konan remained calm.

"So that's you, the one who fought Tsunade." Konan's words were startling.

"Me? Impossible."

“Another you.” Xiao Nan said seriously, not joking.

"Another me?" Payne mused.

"With the appearance of the light screen, the trajectory of this world's fate has changed, and spacetime may also be malfunctioning. Therefore, it is entirely possible for you, who exists in the past or future, to come to the present."

Although it was just Nan's guess, Payne thought it was possible.

"Bringing Naruto back is the most urgent task," Konan said to Pain.

Payne nodded.

Payne and Minami continue their pursuit.

However, Pain was, after all, a puppet controlled by Nagato, and could not be too far away.

It's unfair to say that Nagato was in Amegakure while the six Pains went to Konoha. Even though Amegakure and Fire are connected, the distance between the two villages is still quite far, which exceeds the limit of Nagato's ability to control Pains.

Therefore, if Pain were to attack Konoha, Nagato would definitely have to leave Amegakure, or even the Land of Rain.

To ensure Pain's fighting strength, Nagato cannot be too far away. Therefore, if Pain attacks Konoha, Nagato needs to be near Konoha.

……

Nagato sat in a wheelchair, and a clone pushed him out of the village.

Creating a clone that can walk normally is not difficult for Nagato.

The main body is disabled, so the clone pushes the wheelchair. That makes perfect sense, right?
The light screen hadn't disappeared yet, the live stream continued, and the Naruto chat group was bustling with activity.

But Nagato wasn't really paying attention to the light screen anymore.

First, Jiraiya came to Amegakure alone. Later, Jiraiya came with Tsunade and almost took Naruto away.

This time, Tsunade came alone and actually managed to rescue Naruto.

Nagato wasn't too surprised that Naruto was willing to go back to Konoha with Tsunade.

But Nagato was quite surprised that Naruto had learned the Shadow Clone Technique.

Pain and Konan still haven't caught up with Tsunade, so catching up with Naruto will be difficult.

Also, who exactly was the person who fought Tsunade?

Six Paths Immortals?

Another Nagato?
Is it Nagato from the past or the future who has come to this time and space?
Techniques that can influence time do exist.

Therefore, theoretically, it is possible to cross the boundaries of time to go to the future or back to the past.

However, it is indeed very difficult to do in practice.

However, if one possesses both Rinnegan and a vast amount of chakra, then it becomes relatively much easier.

Nagato suspected that Itachi had secretly helped Tsunade.

In addition, Nagato also felt that he had been too careless.

When the light screen appeared, everyone was busy looking at it, but they should have been keeping a close eye on Naruto.

Tsunade also knows how to seize opportunities.

If they had waited until the light barrier dissipated before taking action, the chances of success would have been much smaller. With the cover of night, the light barrier drawing attention, the assistance of Akatsuki members, Tsunade's own strength, Naruto's cooperation, and his ability to use shadow clones—all these factors combined would have made it unsurprising that Tsunade would have successfully taken Naruto away.

For Tsunade, it's like completing another S-rank mission!

At that moment, Itachi and Juzo Biwa appeared together not far behind Nagato.

Both Itachi and Juzo Biwa were wearing black trench coats embroidered with red clouds, and they were also wearing straw hats.

“Chief Nagato!” Itachi and Juzo approached Nagato.

Nagato's Rinnegan eyes were fixed on Itachi.

"Naruto has been taken away by Tsunade from Konoha," Nagato said expressionlessly.

"The Sannin are not to be underestimated, and Tsunade is the granddaughter of the God of Shinobi," Itachi said calmly.

"The demigods who bestowed the titles of the Three Legendary Sannin were all killed by the leader," Juzo said, looking at Itachi.

Juzo's eyes clearly showed distrust of Itachi.

Now, Juzo strongly suspects that Itachi has betrayed the organization.

Itachi must have infiltrated Akatsuki.

In Itachi's heart, Konoha was the most important thing.

How could Juzo trust a teammate like that?

It was very restrained of them not to attack Itachi directly.

“One against seven, I’m giving you a mission: bring Naruto Uzumaki back to Amegakure,” Nagato said to Itachi in a deep voice.

“…I understand.” Itachi turned and left.

Juzo caught up with Itachi and will continue to monitor him.

Nagato sighed inwardly.

Itachi is a talented person, there is no doubt about that, but Konoha is the most important thing in Itachi's heart!

When faced with a choice between Akatsuki and Konoha, Itachi would definitely choose the latter.

However, it won't be easy for Itachi to return to Konoha!
Putting aside his status as a Konoha rogue ninja, Itachi also killed 10 Jonin from the Sarutobi clan.

Regardless of how much of the claim that the 10 Sarutobi Jonin killed by Itachi were fabricated, they were all registered Jonin of Konoha.

"One against seven, don't let me down!" Nagato muttered to himself.

……

"Go directly to the vicinity of Konoha?" Juzo understood after hearing what Itachi said.

Tsunade and Naruto probably haven't returned to Konoha yet.

Instead of searching for Tsunade, it would be better to go to the vicinity of Konoha first and then wait for her to come to us.

Once Tsunade brings Naruto to the vicinity of Konoha, she can rescue Naruto.

Therefore, Itachi's plan was to retrieve Naruto outside of Konoha.

Juzo did not object to Itachi's plan.

It's still reliable after all.

However, completing this plan will not be easy.

Tsunade is very strong.

If the attack is launched near Konoha and cannot be resolved quickly, the ninjas inside Konoha will definitely come to Tsunade's aid.

So, was Itachi confident that he could quickly defeat Tsunade?

Did the Mangekyou Sharingan give him this confidence?

"To ensure we get ahead, we need to speed up our journey from here on out," Itachi said, quickening his pace.

Juzo also increased his chakra output and managed to keep up with Itachi, but Itachi sped up again, making it difficult for Juzo to keep up.

Neither Itachi nor Juzo noticed a pair of eyes watching them from afar.

Ah Wei saw Itachi and Juzo.

After some analysis, Awei concluded that Nagato must have given Itachi and Juzo a mission.

As for the mission, it is nothing more than to bring Naruto back.

Nagato was firmly opposed to letting Naruto return to Konoha.

Influenced by Nagato, Konan's attitude towards Naruto has also changed, and she is now in agreement with Nagato.

Ah Wei was somewhat surprised that Nagato didn't attack Itachi.

After all, Itachi was definitely an undercover agent, and he most likely helped Tsunade.

Keeping Itachi in the Akatsuki organization is a huge risk.

"With Pain and Konan not around, can Nagato, in his true form, handle a one-against-seven situation?" Awei was quite curious.

The Rinnegan is very powerful.

But firstly, the Rinnegan on Nagato's body actually belongs to Madara.

Therefore, the Rinnegan and Nagato are not a perfect match.

Nagato was thus unable to unleash the full power of the Rinnegan.

Secondly, Nagato's body...

Although Itachi didn't have much chakra, he did have a pair of Mangekyou Sharingan.

Amaterasu and Tsukuyomi are still quite powerful.

In addition, Itachi's Susanoo is also very strong.

Furthermore, Itachi is a genius, and he often wins battles by surprise.

If Pain and the Six Paths of Pain were to attack Itachi, the outcome would be pretty much a foregone conclusion.

But Nagato himself...

If Nagato summons the Gedo Mazo...

Ah Wei didn't bother to think about it anymore; he wasn't solely focused on the Akatsuki organization.

For Awei, everything was about gaining more chakra emotion points.

Secretly manipulating the world's dynamics helps in gaining chakra emotional points.

Also, Ah Wei needs to find some fun for himself!

Find more fun things to do, and you'll have more material for your live streams behind the screen.

Jiraiya needed to gather material for his novels, but Ah Wei doesn't need to?

Compared to Jiraiya, he was a genuinely serious researcher.

By the way, he also read Jiraiya's novel. Well, the writing style is alright, but there are quite a few flaws, including some overly sentimental and pretentious parts.

In Awei's opinion, it wasn't considered food supplies.

……

The ninja world's ranking system, from lowest to highest, is: Genin, Chunin, Special Jonin, Jonin, Elite Jonin, Kage-level, Super Kage-level, Six Paths-level, and Konoha Genin.

The sudden appearance of the light screen caused a huge uproar.

In fact, the ranks of ninjas are Genin, Chunin, and Jonin.

The Kage of the Five Great Ninja Villages are also Jonin.

As for Special Jonin, they are those whose talents in a certain area have reached the Jonin level, but are not well-rounded.

The division on the light screen further subdivided the Jonin.

However, Special Jonin, Jonin, Elite Jonin, and Kage-level can all be classified as Jonin.

The terms "Super Shadow Level" and "Six Paths Level" have become a topic of discussion.

It can be understood literally.

The Super Kage is someone who surpasses the Five Kage.

Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha were both Super Kage.

Payne is also a Shadow.

Of course, there are also differences in strength among the Super Shadows.

The Six Paths level should be the level of the Sage of Six Paths.

only……

What's with the "Konoha Genin" after the Six Paths level?

……

Konoha.

The genin watching the light screen were stunned.

On the battlefield, genin are used as cannon fodder.

The screen actually said that Konoha's genin are above the Six Paths level. What's going on?
Do you think we're all idiots?
I feel like my IQ has been brutally rubbed into the ground.

"This light screen is absolutely ridiculous," said a Konoha genin.

"I'm just a Konoha genin, and I'm stronger than a Six Paths level? How come I didn't know that myself?"

"Don't even mention the Six Paths level, any random Jonin could kill me instantly."

……

Even the village's higher-ups were puzzled.

But since the screen says that Konoha's genin are above the Six Paths level, there must be some basis for that!

Even if it's a joke, there should be some basis for it!
