He knew, of course, that they had lost, and lost badly.

He unleashed all the ninjutsu of the Rinnegan.

The results of it?

Oil Girl Zhihui was unharmed.

His self-proclaimed divine behavior now resembles that of a clown, and is truly laughable.

"There's no point in saying anything now."

Nagato coughed violently.

His body was already struggling to withstand such a large consumption of chakra.

"I had a bet with Zhihui, the oil lady."

Xiao Nan took a deep breath and said.

She had not told Nagato this before.

Because it is not necessary.

At that time, Nagato was confident that he was invincible.

If you bring up any bets with him, he'll get angry.

"Bet?"

Nagato looked up, somewhat taken aback.

When did this happen?

Are you a traitor too?

As the leader of the Akatsuki organization, he knew that many members harbored ulterior motives.

For example, Itachi Uchiha.

But he never doubted Xiao Nan.

Because the three of them grew up together, they truly depended on each other for survival.

"I met Shiki Aburame when I went to the Fire Country Metropolis to recruit Kazuma."

Xiao Nan recounted the contents of the bet.

"is it?"

Nagato seemed lost in thought.

Was the path he chose really wrong?

If someone else had told him this, he would have scoffed at it.

But this is Zhihui, the oil woman.

I just defeated him very easily.

Strength equates to the right to speak.

In addition, he was beaten so badly that he began to question the meaning of life.

Xiao Nan secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

If it were the old Nagato, he might have gone to extremes and summoned the Gedo Mazo.

But now... there is hope.

"Nagato, I want to give it a try."

Konan began by saying, "Peace is not only our dream, but also Yahiko's dream."

Nagato was silent.

Just then, footsteps came from outside the tree.

The commotion was so great that it seemed as if it were caused by a giant.

The giant tree split apart and tilted to either side.

Nagato subconsciously narrowed her eyes.

After my eyes adjusted to the light, I saw the six-armed Heavenly Corpse King.

That's an invincible form.

Nagato's heart trembled slightly.

"Sister Xiao Nan, is the bet in effect?"

A smile appeared on the face of the oil-producing woman, Zhihui.

Nagato was taken aback.

Sister Xiao Nan?

There seems to be something wrong with your relationship.

Didn't you say you'd only met once?

"Takes effect".

Konan glanced at Nagato and said in a deep voice.

"Looks like we don't need to fight anymore."

Yu Nu Zhihui removed the Six-Armed Heavenly Corpse King.

Because if this state is maintained for too long, it will be eroded, and in severe cases, it will cause cultivation to stagnate and make further progress impossible.

"Welcome to Konoha Village."

Yu Nu Zhihui extended his hand and said.

Xiao Nan was slightly taken aback, and shook hands with him.

"We will not join Konoha Village."

Nagato suddenly interrupted their friendly exchange.

"Nagato."

Xiao Nan's expression changed, and she quickly called out.

"We work for you because we want to see what you call the path to peace."

Nagato said in a deep voice, "But if you want us to become ninjas of Konoha, I'm sorry, we can't do that."

Xiao Nan hesitated, as if she wanted to say something but then stopped.

She didn't know how to persuade her.

Nagato's parents died at the hands of Konoha ninjas.

Yahiko's death was also related to Danzo Shimura and his Root organization.

"That's okay."

Yu Nu Zhihui didn't care and said, "You will naturally join later."

He certainly has that confidence.

Of course, the most important thing is that Nagato was not a truly evil person.

He only turned to the dark side because of Yahiko's death.

He would be happy to see a path that leads to peace.

No, we won't.

Nagato said very seriously.

"Let's not delay, let's go back to Konoha now."

You Nu Zhihui smiled and said.

"What do you plan to do with Amegakure?"

Nagato suddenly thought of something and asked.

"You'll find out soon enough."

Aburame Shiki paused for a moment, then said, "Don't worry, Amegakure will be safe and sound."

Nagato nodded silently.

"This is Yahiko, here you go."

Aburame Shiki casually pulled Pain to the side and placed him in front of Nagato.

Looking at the mangled corpse, Nagato couldn't help but feel guilty.

The reason he used Yahiko to create the Heavenly Path was so that his dear friend could witness the arrival of peace.

As a result, all my dreams were shattered today.

Xiao Nan waved.

Countless pieces of paper flew out and enveloped Yahiko.

She then went behind Nagato, pushed him away from the giant tree, and headed towards Konoha Village.

Oil Girl Zhihui stood next to her.

But his attention was already on the two lines of text in front of him.

[Achieve the achievement "The God is a forgery" for Nagato and receive the reward "Immortal Journey".]

[Immortal Travel: A sixth-level Immortal Gu. The user possesses a specific impression of a certain place in their mind and can arrive there within three breaths.]

The achievement name is a bit odd, but it's still appropriate.

What surprised Zhihui the most was the reward.

This is his second Rank 6 Immortal Gu.

Although the cicadas of spring and autumn are incredibly powerful, they are not needed in the short term, so having them is practically the same as not having them at all.
