Naruto: Starting from the time when the Six Paths of Pain was Kira Yoshikage

The world of ninjas.

Nagato had just woken up from her sleep when she heard that familiar and gentle voice in her ear.

"Nagato, you're awake."

Konan strolled over with a bowl of meat porridge, first handing it to Nagato, and said softly, "Eat something, or your body won't be able to take it."

Seemingly worried that Nagato wouldn't eat, Konan took the initiative to scoop up a spoonful and bring it to Nagato's mouth.

This is fish porridge that Xiao Nan cooked early this morning.

Nagato did not refuse Konan's kindness. He was not the kind of person to be sentimental. The most important thing at the moment was to recover his body as soon as possible. Replenishing energy in time was also an important part of accelerating the recovery. Although the energy obtained from eating alone was far less than that for regaining feeling in his legs, even a mosquito's leg was still flesh.

The moment Nagato tasted the meat porridge, his eyes lit up slightly. The porridge tasted excellent, incredibly delicious, and clearly the result of careful preparation.

The ingredients in the Naruto world are slightly inferior to those in the Dragon Ball world in terms of taste, but the fact that Konan could achieve this level of quality already demonstrates her high level of culinary skill.

This reminded Nagato of the past. When the three of them were together, Yahiko was in charge of planning and assisting in the battles, Nagato was in charge of the main battles, and Konan was in charge of logistics, reconnaissance, and assisting in the battles.

She's elegant in public and skilled in the kitchen, gentle and virtuous, and also possesses considerable fighting prowess. To be honest, Xiao Nan is definitely the ideal partner.

Seeing that Nagato was willing to eat, Konan's brows immediately relaxed, and the gloom in her heart lessened a bit. She immediately scooped up another spoonful and handed it to him.

Nagato ate it in one bite once again.

Then came the third spoonful... Nagato ate faster and faster, and Konan fed him faster and faster. The two of them took turns spooning and spitting, and soon the bowl of meat porridge was empty.

Seeing that Nagato still seemed unsatisfied, Konan comforted him with concern, "Nagato, your body has only just recovered. You can't eat too much at once, or you'll get indigestion."

Nagato nodded.

The original body's condition is nowhere near that of the clone. It's not exactly terminally ill, but it's absolutely terrible. It will take a long time and a lot of effort to slowly recover. It's really too difficult to return to the state of a healthy person before.

Unless a large amount of pure chakra is injected into the body.

In the original storyline, during the Fourth Shinobi World War, Nagato was resurrected by Kabuto using the Impure World Reincarnation technique. He was initially limping, but his legs recovered after absorbing a large amount of chakra.

Therefore, theoretically, obtaining a large amount of pure chakra can restore the body.

"Xiao Nan, I want to..."

Nagato had just opened his mouth when Konan interrupted him, speaking in an extremely gentle tone with earnest advice: "Nagato, I know you are anxious and eager to rebuild the organization as soon as possible... but right now, the most important thing is for your body to recover quickly."

In fact, Konan also wished she could rebuild Akatsuki immediately. She could understand Nagato's feelings at this moment, but she had to consider Nagato's physical condition.

Instead of dwelling on the pain of losing a friend, it's better to cherish the people in front of you.

After all, the deceased are gone, and the living must continue to live.

In the original storyline, it wasn't Konan who was trapped in her past memories and couldn't get out, but Nagato.

Konan was simply someone who silently stayed by Nagato's side, doing her best to help him fulfill his wishes.

"No, Xiao Nan..."

Nagato spoke again, only to be interrupted once more by Konan, who looked at him with an extremely serious expression and said solemnly, "Nagato, I can listen to you on everything else, but on this matter, you must listen to me..."

"but..."

"No buts, Nagato, I..."

"I need to use the restroom."

This time, Nagato interrupted Konan, getting straight to the point without any unnecessary words.

"..."

"..."

Konan was stunned, staring blankly at Nagato, who was also staring at Konan.

A touch of ambiguity and shyness lessened the sadness of losing a close friend.

"I'm sorry, Nagato."

Xiao Nan blushed slightly and stammered, "I...I...I'll take you there."

Take me there? Take me where? You can't exactly carry me to the toilet, can you?

In the end, it was Konan who escorted Nagato to the restroom. However, she didn't accompany him into the restroom herself; instead, she used the Origami Technique to help Nagato into the restroom.

-----------------

Several days passed in this way. Under Konan's careful care, Nagato's condition improved a lot. At least he went from continuously losing blood to barely breaking even. He would gradually recover without using a lot of chakra in battle. However, without the help of external forces, this recovery time would probably be measured in years.

These past few days, Nagato has been recuperating and controlling the Painful Way Yamcha clone in the Dragon Ball world, training under Tao Pai Pai's guidance.

It was a magical experience.

The consciousness of the clone and the original body are connected, but they do not affect each other, and there will be no situation where the original body follows what the Heavenly Dao is doing.

Most importantly, along with the cultivation of his clone, Nagato's main body also seemed to have gained an additional power. Although this power was extremely weak, Nagato could feel it gradually increasing.

This is a good thing!

After confirming that he could indeed gain power through clones, Nagato felt more at ease.

In addition, Nagato has been using Pain, the Deva Path of this world, to gather intelligence about the village these past few days.

Since that battle, Hanzo seems to have been terrified by Nagato's power. He not only issued arrest warrants for Nagato and Konan in the village, but also quickly tightened the power of the Rain Village, concentrating most of the powerful ninjas in his own location.

They built the surrounding area as solid as a fortress, fearing that Nagato might attack.

It's understandable; after witnessing the power of the Rinnegan, no ordinary ninja would be unafraid.

Especially for a ninja like Hanzo who has lost his ambition, Nagato's presence would keep him in a constant state of fear.

To put it in the most Naruto-esque way, his magnanimity is no longer worthy of being called the leader of Amegakure.

Nagato scoffed at Hanzo's approach, which, while seemingly concentrating his strength to enhance his defense, actually made him nothing more than a sitting duck.

A single large-scale ninjutsu attack would wipe them all out.

This is the limitation of Hanzo's own perspective. In his time, battles between ninjas were just normal operations of assassination and being assassinated. Water Release ninjas would be amazed to say they were very strong if they used Water Release in places without water. This was not the superpower battles of the later stages of Naruto. Ninjutsu like Shinra Tensei and Tenai Shinsei did not exist.

Even without wide-range ninjutsu, Hanzo's approach was unwise, concentrating all his power on defense... How long could this situation last? The Rain Ninja are ninjas who need to eat, not Hanzo's private soldiers or retainers. For a short time, the Rain Ninja might steadfastly protect him for their beliefs, but in the long run... it would inevitably cause dissatisfaction among the ninjas below.

"The remnants of the old era should be put into the trash can as soon as possible."

Nagato gazed coldly at the setting sun, its last rays fading into the distance.

Don't even mention that he's no longer the Nagato he used to be; even the original Nagato wouldn't take Hanzo seriously now.

If Nagato recovers even a little more, he can take his life anytime, anywhere. The once legendary ninja is now nothing more than a dying old dog.

Nagato suddenly turned to look at the gate, a mocking expression on his face, and said, "Since you're here, come out. You're not the kind of person who hides like a coward..."
