Naruto: I've already fought against all five Kage, and the system only just arrived.

All the detonators ignited instantly.

The disguise effect of the God Paper Technique is so great that even the Mangekyou Sharingan cannot see through it.

Konan's initial intention in developing this technique, besides protecting Nagato himself, was also to target "Uchiha Madara," who possessed spacetime abilities.

Therefore, she calculated the time limit for "Uchiha Madara" to become intangible long ago, and has been accumulating explosive tags over the years.

Unfortunately, they ultimately failed to account for Izanagi.

Rumble!

A massive explosion was followed by a mushroom cloud.

Although Xiao Nan didn't carry 600 billion explosive tags with her, she still had tens of thousands.

While Nagato and Hagoromo Gengetsu were talking, she secretly planted an explosive tag, which she used at this moment.

Such power is impossible to defend against with ninjutsu or physical strength alone.

Xiao Nan was just about to breathe a sigh of relief.

Pfft!

A hand pierced her chest from behind.

"Your paper-based technique is quite impressive," Yu Yi Xuan Yue said sincerely, appearing behind Xiao Nan.

Paper Release is not a bloodline limit. After only three years of instruction from Jiraiya, Konan was able to develop Paper Release to its current level from scratch. To be honest, her talent exceeds many people's imagination.

Just like now, with Yu Yi Xuan Yue's cosplay of Black Zetsu, even Madara would be doomed.

Although Xiao Nan also had a large hole in her chest, it was clear that the inside of the hole was full of paper.

The Dance of Paper Transformation allows the user to transform their body into countless pieces of paper, making them immune to physical attacks.

Even from Yu Yi Xuan Yue's perspective, it was a pretty good technique.

Of course, it's not without weaknesses.

Yu Yi Xuan Yue opened her right hand, which was inserted into Konan's body, and her palm absorbed all the chakra around her like a black hole.

Although Konan has turned into a piece of paper, the chakra that sustains this technique is still there, and at this moment it all surges wildly into Hagoromo Gengetsu's palm.

With her chakra rapidly depleting, Konan had no time to do anything more. It was clear that she was about to lose control of the Shikigami Dance and revert to her true form, at which point the large hole in her chest would become a reality.

Nagato finally made a move.

"All things are attracted by heaven!"

He reached out and sucked, and the remaining piece of paper on Xiao Nan's body instantly flew to his side.

After the paper was stuffed in, Xiao Nan regained her true form, but her face looked very weak.

Nagato did not make another move.

He looked at Yu Yixuanyue and calmly resigned himself to his fate:

"No need to fight anymore, here's the Rinnegan for you."

(Thanks to "茶饭人生" for the 5000 reward! Thank you to "书友20240531214211044" for the 100 reward! Thank you to "果壳没有心" for the 100 reward!)

Chapter 213 The Rinnegan is Acquired

"Nagato!"

Xiao Nan's expression changed, as if she wanted to say something.

Nagato shook his head, not giving Konan a chance to persuade him. He forcefully pressed his hands against her eye sockets, and with two lines of blood flowing down, two purple, swirling Rinnegan eyes fell into his palms.

Nagato, his eyes vacant, showed no remorse and tossed his two Rinnegan to Hagoromo Gengetsu.

Yu Yi Xuan Yue took it, and after confirming that it was correct, nodded in satisfaction.

The Rinnegan has been retrieved.

"Cough cough cough cough."

Without the power of the Rinnegan to nourish him, Nagato's body grew increasingly weak, and his aura waned to its lowest point. At this moment, he couldn't help but cough loudly.

Seeing the bloodstains on the bed becoming increasingly dense, Konan quickly stepped forward to help him up, took out the precious life-saving medicine, and prepared to feed it to Nagato.

Nagato stretched out his bare, skeletal hand, stopped Konan, and shook his head, saying:

"No need to waste time, I don't have much time left."

You know your own situation.

During that ambush by Hanzo and his Rain Ninja, if he hadn't disregarded his physical exhaustion and overexerted himself by summoning the Gedo Mazo, he would have collapsed on the spot.

From then on, his legs were burned by the Exploding Flame Array. In addition, the use of the Gedo Mazo caused him to lose too much life force and chakra, and he basically lost the ability to walk. His body became weaker and weaker over time, and he even had to rely on equipment to maintain his life.

The fact that I've been able to persevere until now is largely thanks to the Rinnegan, the legendary eye of a sage.

Now that the Rinnegan is gone, Nagato knows he can't hold on for much longer.

He looked at Xiao Nan, whose face was full of sorrow, and after a rare smile from her in all these years, he turned to Yu Yi Xuan Yue and asked calmly:

"Will the world after the Infinite Tsukuyomi really be that good?"

Yu Yi Xuan Yue placed the Rinnegan into a pre-prepared container, put the container away, and replied calmly:

"Who knows? We'll know once we try."

"Tried it? That's such an lofty term," Nagato said with a self-deprecating laugh.

He had a similar attitude before this.

However, now that he has been completely awakened, knows the truth about the Eye of the Moon Project, and has lost the Rinnegan he had always relied on, Nagato is no longer blinded by arrogance and darkness. He has a deeper understanding of himself and the world.

He thought of Jiraiya, the teacher who had taught them back then, and all the little things the other person had said.

"Ahem. The world should not, and will not, be fooled by you or by someone like Madara Uchiha." At this moment, Nagato said very seriously.

Upon hearing this, Hagoromo Gengetsu glanced at Nagato from head to toe in surprise: "It's quite unexpected to hear such words from you. Also, the guy you're talking about isn't Uchiha Madara."

Whether Madara Uchiha was truly no longer important to Nagato was another matter entirely.

He continued, looking at Yu Yi Xuan Yue, "This world may be terrible. War, killing, pain, and despair exist all the time. But there will always be people who go to change all of this, instead of blinding their five senses and living in a false world. Whether you are the fake Uchiha Madara or not, no matter how powerful you are, there will still be millions of people who will stand up to stop you."

Yu Yi Xuan Yue remained calm and expressed her gratitude, saying, "Thank you for the reminder. However, if you think you can convince me with words, you don't need to. You'd be better off spending that time observing this world."

"Talk-no-jutsu?"

Nagato has a pretty good comprehension ability; she understood the meaning of the word in the blink of an eye.

He smiled and shook his head, saying, "I don't have that kind of ability. I just suddenly realized something and wanted to express my feelings. Finally..."

Nagato patted Konan's hand that was supporting him, and then spoke again to Hagoromo Gengetsu.

"I want to make a deal with you."

"trade?"

Yu Yi Xuan Yue looked at the blind and paralyzed Nagato, then glanced at Konan, whose strength was now less than one-tenth of what it used to be. Both of them were now like fish on a chopping block, and she didn't think there was anything left to trade.

At this moment, Nagato said:

"The Demonic Statue of Heretics".

Yu Yi Xuan Yue frowned slightly.

The Demonic Statue of the Outer Path?

He remembered that the Rinnegan could control the Gedo Mazo.

As if knowing what Yu Yi Xuan Yue was thinking, Nagato explained:

“The Rinnegan can indeed control the Gedo Mazo. But after so many years under my control, the Gedo Mazo has already been marked with my mark.”

"With your abilities, including the Rinnegan, you could indeed forcibly summon the Gedo Mazo with some time. But don't forget about 'Uchiha Madara,' who knows the location of the Gedo Mazo. The Eye of the Moon Plan, heh, he won't relinquish control to you."

Yu Yixuanyue immediately understood.

The Gedo Mazo, which carries the power of the Tailed Beasts, is extremely important. If Obito Uchiha intercepts it beforehand, it will cause another problem.

Yu Yi Xuan Yue stated directly: "The details of the transaction."

Nagato took a deep breath: "Gedo Mazo. In exchange for Konan's safety."

Konan's expression changed: "Nagato, you..."

Nagato, using all his strength, grabbed Konan's arm and said:

“Konan, listen to me! I now understand that Yahiko, you, and everyone in the original Akatsuki were all manipulated by Madara Uchiha and became different from who they used to be. I can't make up for it, but you can, Konan.”

"Take me and Yahiko to a quiet place, and let's spend the rest of our lives there without thinking about anything else. Just like that little house when Jiraiya-sensei was still here. Looking back now, that was the happiest moment of our lives!"

At this moment, Nagato's face was full of reminiscence.

Xiao Nan shed tears.

As Yu Yi Xuan Yue watched all this, she felt that if she interrupted or refused, she would be like one of the villains in movies and TV dramas.

However, exchanging the Gedo Mazo for Konan is not out of the question.

Xiao Nan was just an insignificant person in his eyes. Even if she wanted revenge, it wouldn't be a problem for him.

In comparison, it's better to keep the Gedo Mazo with its four-tailed and seven-tailed forms in hand first.

Yu Yi Xuan Yue nodded and said, "The deal is done."

Nagato, who had already persuaded Konan, breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this.

Knowing that someone like Yu Yi Xuan Yue wouldn't go back on his word, he simply put his hands together and reluctantly formed a hand seal.

boom!

A huge plume of white smoke rose up.

Yu Yi Xuan Yue looked over and saw a huge statue next to Nagato, its color and body like a withered tree. Ten pillar-like objects protruded from its back, and it had nine eyes, two of which were already open. There was also a humanoid demon statue with its body wrapped in chains, its eyes slightly open, sitting cross-legged there.

It is a demonic image of heretics.

Yu Yi Xuan Yue nodded in satisfaction, and after looking her over, said with some surprise:
