Rain-Hidden Village.

Top of the tower.

The rain has stopped after a long time.

Something tore a crack in the upper part of the cloud, running from east to west through the entire rain cloud, with edges as clean as if it had been cut by a knife.

Sunlight streamed in through the cracks, pouring down in large swaths onto this land that was perpetually shrouded in rain.

In the outermost pavilion at the top of the tower, Xiao Nan looked up at the sky.

She was two steps behind Nagato, facing the window sideways.

The paper butterflies are her warning net, each one imbued with a wisp of her chakra, scattered around the outskirts of Amegakure and around the tower.

At this moment, the wings of all the paper butterflies became incredibly heavy, and none of them could take flight.

"There's someone there."

Xiao Nan flipped her right hand over, and the folded explosive tags in her palm emerged from the layers of paper and unfolded at her fingertips.

Nagato did not turn back.

He sat in a specially made chair, with the Gedo Mazo's chakra channels connecting to his spine from his back, the joints of the channels expanding and contracting slightly with his breathing.

The purple Rinnegan gazed at the crack in the clouds.

Something is falling directly below the crack in the clouds.

Nagato's vision was shared with the Heavenly Dao, allowing him to see directly through the Heavenly Dao's Rinnegan.

A black dot emerged from the crack, rapidly magnifying in the field of vision to reveal a human-shaped outline.

A pair of blue-gold dragon horns amidst black hair.

A pair of deep blue eyes in their sockets, with a gold ring around the edge of the pupils.

He had never seen eyes like that before.

"They're not from any other ninja village." Konan manipulated the paper butterflies to redistribute outside the tower, attempting to approach from the side.

"Chakra... what's going on?"

The paper butterflies all went out of control, turning into scattered pieces of paper that drifted away on their own.

The Way of Heaven has taken a step forward.

"Halt, you who come here, state your identity."

Hyuga Chen hovered in mid-air opposite the top of the tower, manipulating the repulsive force to create an invisible platform beneath his feet.

The Tenseigan swept over the Six Paths of Pain and the massive amount of chakra emanating from the Gedo Mazo within the tower, finally settling on Nagato's main body.

Then raise your right hand high above your head.

Not a single word was spoken.

Sage Chakra and immense ocular power condensed in his palm.

From nothing to something...

Deep blue and brilliant gold spiraled together, the edge of the pillar of light had not yet taken shape, and the tiles on the top of the tower had already begun to be blown away by the gale.

The scorching heat from the displaced air reached the ground before the beam of light.

Konan's explosive tags flew out of the window in that instant, and hundreds of explosive tags spread out like a paper shield between the top of the tower and Hyuga Dust.

The Heavenly Dao raised its hands above its head, preparing to unleash the Divine Raid.

A beam of blue-gold light pierced through the clouds and fell along with the arm.

Golden Wheel Reincarnation Explosion!

The paper shield of the detonating tag vanished the instant it made contact with the beam of light, failing to block it for even a moment.

The beam of light cut into the tower, and the tiles, iron beams... all the matter disappeared directly at the contact surface.

The repulsive force of Shinra Tensei was released from the palm of the Heavenly Dao for half its length before being swallowed up by the pillar of light.

Payne melted instantly under the Golden Wheel Reincarnation Explosion.

Konan's body turned into pieces of paper at the last moment the pillar of light arrived. Thousands of pieces of paper exploded from inside the tower and scattered in all directions, each carrying a wisp of her chakra.

As the power gradually dissipated, a deep canyon appeared on the surface of the Land of Rain when viewed from the moon.

The tallest tower in Amegakure disappears from the horizon.

The demonic statue was not destroyed by the attack; it was simply pressed deep into the rock strata.

With a shadow clone on the moon as a reconnaissance position, one can naturally see all the situations clearly.

Konan managed to escape using her paper clones, but Nagato and his Rinnegan had no chance of survival.

Hyuga Dust withdrew his hand.

After the light of the Golden Wheel Reincarnation Explosion dissipated, the crack in the clouds that had been cut open continued to widen.

The sunlight poured down without obstruction, illuminating a circular depression that was still steaming.

Water gushing from underground veins has begun to form a shallow lake at the bottom of the depression, its surface reflecting fragments of the blue sky.

Several pieces of paper floated down from the sky.

Hinata Dust glanced at it.

In the vision of the Tenseigan, a faint chakra was reassembling in the shadow of a surviving building in the distance.

The pieces of paper were still drifting towards that spot from all directions, piling up one by one, very slowly.

Just a small southerner.

He turned and tore open a spatial rift in the sealing scroll he had taken from Obito, throwing it back to the moon before looking away.

Shadow clone dissipated.

The clone of B turned into a wisp of white smoke and dissipated on the spot.

……

……

Outside the main gate of Konoha Village, a spatial rift tore open in mid-air.

Hinata Chen stepped out from the deep blue light, choosing not to conceal his presence.

The two Chunin guarding the main gate looked up at the same time... one of them had been leaning against a gatepost yawning.

His eyes.

It's not rolling your eyes.

The background is deep blue, with a gold ring around the edge of the pupil.

His partner next to him had already reacted and released the messenger eagle.

Hinata Dust did not stop him.

"Go tell the Third Hokage that Hyuga Chen has arrived."

The dragon's might spread outwards from beneath Hyuga Dust's feet, cracking the ground and gradually extending outwards.

Ignoring the two who were pretending to be quails with their heads down, Hyuga Chen stepped through the main gate.

Konoha Main Street.

The hidden forces along the way flanked from both sides... three on the roof, two in the alley, and four from the direction of the main entrance behind them.

The Anbu ninjas didn't make a move; they simply followed Hyuga Chen to the main entrance of the Hokage Building.

Hyuga Chen went straight upstairs.

The meeting room is on the top floor of the Hokage Building.

Five people.

Hiruzen Sarutobi sat in the main seat, his pipe resting on the ashtray beside him, the cigarette unlit.

Danzo sat on the left-hand chair, his bandaged arm drawing attention.

Mitokado Homura and Utatane Koharu sat opposite Danzo, their canes resting on the armrests of their chairs.

Hiashi Hyuga was also present.

Hinata Chen walked in and sat down directly in the empty chair opposite the main seat.

Before Hiruzen Sarutobi could even bring his pipe to his lips, Hiashi Hyuga spoke first.

"The caged bird, how did you break free? Tell us the method. The main family may consider mitigating your punishment."

Hinata Dust turned his head to look at him.

Dragon's Might!

Hiashi Hyuga's eye veins throbbed violently. He subconsciously took a step back, causing the chair to shake. He immediately realized what was happening and stiffly sat back up.

Danzo coughed.

"Two Root agents went missing the night you defected. One of them was found collapsed in the drainage ditch of Training Ground No. 3 and has been paralyzed ever since."

A very effective way to splash dirty water.

He's paving the way for Hiruzen Sarutobi... He plays the bad cop so Hiruzen can play the good cop.

Before the person in question could even speak, he had already laid out the charges clearly. Anything the third-generation leader said afterward would be considered a favor.

Hiruzen Sarutobi picked up a pipe from the ashtray and lit it.

"Let's hear what he wants first."

He raised his hand slightly in Danzo's direction, indicating that they should put it aside for the time being, and then turned to Hyuga Chen.

Mitokado Yan picked up a file from the windowsill and opened it.

"Stealed the sealed book. Trespassed into the Root's forbidden area. Killed a member of the Dark Guard. Defected."

Xiaochun took over from the new dormitory.

"Your strength is indeed far beyond what it was before you defected, but the fact that you defected will not change because of your strength. If you are willing to hand over the method to break the Caged Bird Seal and accept supervision, Konoha may consider re-evaluating your ninja status."

Konoha's intelligence network is quite efficient; they quickly identified themselves after what happened in the Land of Rain not long ago.

Mitokado Homura and Utatane Koharu, working in tandem, had already arranged everything perfectly for Hinata Chen.

Hiruzen Sarutobi exhaled a puff of smoke and nodded.

"Konoha never rejects those who are willing to turn back."

Danzo sneered and did not refute.

Hinata Chen slowly began to speak. "I'm not here today to talk about my affairs."

"Mitarashi Anko has been removed from the list of current employees; she has voluntarily resigned."
