At this moment, Youyue looked down at the fragile little grass. With just a thought, he could make it grow rapidly into a wooden dragon that soars through the sky.

"I guess I can be considered a 'little Hashirama' now, right?" Yuzuki said smugly.

With his Wood Release and Sage Mode, he is now unmatched in Konoha, except for Might Guy who has opened the Eight Gates.

It's a sense of security that words can't describe, a composure that stands at the pinnacle.

sleep!

She turned off the lights, pulled the covers up, and in one swift motion, Youyue smiled and quickly drifted off to sleep.

Chapter 7 The Tragedy of Akatsuki, Minato Arrives

Yuyue drifted off to sleep, but someone's thoughts lingered endlessly in the night.

Konoha Village, within a 48-year timeline

Despite it being late at night, the Hokage's office was still brightly lit.

Minato Namikaze sat behind his desk, his brow furrowed, carefully reviewing every detail of the video from the group chat.

"The Nine-Tails' attack will occur on October 10th, the day Naruto was born, which is still a few months away."

"Should we take the initiative or lay an ambush beforehand..."

"At this point, Obito should already be secretly controlling the Mizukage in the Land of Water..."

"Over the course of three years, the Village of Blood Mist conducted a large-scale purge of ninjas possessing bloodline limits."

"Should we send some ANBU to Kirigakure to investigate?"

As his thoughts wandered, Minato's gaze fell upon the photo of him and Jiraiya on the table.

In that instant, as if struck by lightning, a more pressing question suddenly leaped into his mind.

Jiraiya once took three disciples in the Land of Rain—Yahiko, Nagato, and Konan.

The Akatsuki organization, which will one day be renowned throughout the ninja world, was created by them.

At this time, Xiao was just a small group of passionate young people who had come together for world peace.

Far from being the organization that would later stop at nothing to pursue the Tailed Beasts.

The key to this transformation was precisely the despicable act orchestrated by Danzo Shimura.

Danzo, that old man, he's not a normal person.

He secretly sent someone to infiltrate the Land of Rain and kidnap Konan from the Akatsuki organization.

Although they didn't take the opportunity to engage in bondage sex, it directly led to the death of Yahiko, the cheerful and optimistic young man in the trio, and pushed Nagato towards darkness.

Nagato thus transformed into a "god" transcending humanity, attempting to conquer the entire ninja world by force.

After committing all sorts of evil deeds, Danzo simply walked away, leaving the unfortunate Hanzo to suffer greatly.

Not only did he lose most of his men, but he was also killed by Payne a few years later.

Danzo even went unpunished until Sasuke finally defeated him just before the Fourth Shinobi World War.

After watching Yuuki's video about Danzo's deeds over the decades in Konoha...

Minato Namikaze wished he could kill him right now.

But under the watchful eyes of everyone in Konoha, he absolutely could not do these things.

"This time, we absolutely cannot let Danzo harm them again."

Emotionally, they were Jiraiya's disciples, his junior brothers; now that he knew, he couldn't just sit idly by.

Logically, Nagato of the Akatsuki organization possesses the Rinnegan, which, although originating from Madara, is currently used by Nagato, meaning that he has gained another powerful force.

"The video shows that this happened shortly after I became Hokage...it must have been recently."

Thinking of this, Minato pressed a button on the table.

After a while

A member of the secret service appeared in front of him.

"Lord Hokage"

The secret service bowed respectfully.

"Please check on Elder Danzo's movements for me."

I need to know if he has left the village.

Minato Namikaze gave the order

"As ordered!"

The secret service team accepted the order and left.

Some time later, the secret service brought back news.

"Fourth Hokage, Elder Danzo has secretly left the village, accompanied by more than ten members of 'Root'."

"What? When did this happen?" Minato Namikaze frowned deeply.

This is not a good sign.

"This is a record of those who left this morning."

Upon receiving the documents, Minato Namikaze discovered that Danzo had been gone for over ten hours.

"Oh no!"

He secretly groaned in his heart.

Immediately afterwards, Minato Namikaze's figure transformed into a golden light and vanished from the spot in an instant.

When he reappeared, he had already arrived at the entrance of Konoha Village.

"H...Hokage-sama?!"

The guards at the gate thought it was a hallucination. Why would the Hokage suddenly be patrolling in the middle of the night?

Minato nodded slightly to him, then used the Body Flicker Technique to become a blur, disappearing into the night and leaving Konoha.

"We must make it in time..."

A burning anxiety ignited in Minato Namikaze's heart.

He was unable to arrive in time when Obito sacrificed himself; he was also powerless to prevent Rin's sacrifice.

This time, we must never let this tragedy repeat itself!

Rain Country

This place seems to be shrouded in a heavy gloom all year round, with an endless curtain of rain.

The valley between the two mountains was densely populated with Hanzo's subordinates and members of Danzo's "Root," forming a tight encirclement.

Hanzo stood atop the hill, looking down with an arrogant and disdainful air at Yahiko and his group below.

"Leader of Akatsuki, your end is today; this place will be your final resting place."

Influenced by Danzo's persuasive words, Hanzo felt that the rapidly rising Akatsuki organization threatened his absolute rule in the Land of Rain.

Therefore, they seized the opportunity when Konan was traveling alone and captured her, intending to use her as a hostage to force Yahiko and the others to self-destruct.

"That redhead, kill Yahiko! If you finish him off, this woman and you can leave alive."

Hanzo casually tossed a kunai, its sharp blade landing squarely at Nagato and Yahiko's feet, like a cruel command.

Upon hearing this, Nagato's body involuntarily trembled, her heart churning with an unbearable struggle.

Do you want me to kill Yahiko with my own hands?

"Don't listen to him, Nagato, Yahiko, don't worry about me, you guys go!" Konan cried out hoarsely.

Seeing that Nagato showed no reaction, Hanzo spoke with a chilling tone:

"Are you really so indifferent to this woman's life or death?"

After hearing this, Yahiko could no longer remain silent and said in a low voice:

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading!

"Nagato, let's do it. Carry my ideals with you, and live on with strength."

Nagato trembled all over, his gaze shifting back and forth between Yahiko and Konan, who was in grave danger, his heart filled with torment.

Finally, he slowly raised the kunai...

Just as this tragedy seemed about to unfold, a sharp whistling sound suddenly pierced the air.

Ding!

After a crisp sound, another kunai flew in like a gust of wind and embedded itself deeply into the ground!

Before anyone could react, a flash of golden light appeared, and in an instant, a figure was already before them.

It was dazzling golden hair, and a sacred robe fluttering in the wind.
