Chapter 110 [Pain]

"Yahiko, slow down."

"No, Nagato." The orange-haired young man's laughter could be clearly heard even in the rain.

"Peace is right before our eyes."

"Then we should go slower. It would be very impolite to go to see Hanzo the Salamander in such a disheveled state."

Yahiko and Nagato ran through the rain, their spirits high. Yahiko even shouted and laughed like a mischievous child.

End the war and bring peace to the world.

The long-cherished wish may finally come true today. The immense joy almost overwhelmed him, and even the regret that "Xiao Nan was away on a mission and could not witness this moment" was greatly diminished.

Finally, they arrived at the valley.

It's flat in the middle and surrounded by towering rock walls, making it a secluded and wonderful place.

If this place is to be considered the "birthplace of world peace," it is undoubtedly very suitable.

"Wait, Yahiko."

Nagato suddenly reached out to stop his friend, a bead of cold sweat sliding down his forehead:

"Something's wrong, quick..."

However, while the Rinnegan is incredibly powerful in high-level battles, its ability to observe as an eye is far inferior to that of the Byakugan.

He discovered it too late.

Hundreds of ninjas suddenly appeared above the rock wall—Amegakure, Konoha, Konoha's Anbu…

From the low hill in the very center, powerful fighters such as Hanzo the Salamander, Danzo Shimura, and Yuto Hyuga looked down at Yahiko and Nagato. Konan knelt among the many powerful fighters, her hands tied behind her back, her face covered in blood and filth.

In an instant, Yahiko and Nagato understood everything.

Hanzo had no intention of negotiating with Akatsuki; what he wanted was for Konoha to join forces with him and destroy him!

Hanzo the Salamander stood behind Konan and pressed down on her shoulder:

"To me, your organization is a big problem."

"Yahiko... as the leader, you shall die here."

He pulled out the kunai and lightly poked Konan's throat; the sharp tip sank into her skin, splattering out drops of blood.

"If she dares to resist, this woman will be dead."

boom!

Hanzo threw the kunai, which landed precisely between Yahiko and Nagato.

"That red-haired guy over there used this to kill Yahiko."

"That way, you and this woman will both be saved."

Nagato looked at the kunai and felt dizzy.

"No! Nagato! Don't worry about me! You two run!" Konan shouted.

"Nagato..." Yahiko suddenly spoke, his expression strange. His ideals shattered, betrayed by fellow countrymen, and his beloved girl falling into enemy hands, Yahiko felt his insides burning, his mind filled with thoughts of sacrifice.

"...Nagato, kill me."

I can't save Amegakure, nor can I save the world.

But at least I can save you, Nagato, Konan...

Nagato, breathing heavily, stumbled over, bent down, and picked up the kunai. His wrist, which could easily shatter rocks, trembled as he gripped the kunai.

"No!" Konan cried out again, ignoring Hanzo's increasingly forceful hand.

"Nagato! Kill me!" Yahiko's tone was extremely serious, sounding both commanding and pleading.

"Kill me, Nagato."

"don't want!"

"kill!"

Yahiko and Konan's voices kept echoing in Nagato's mind. The three of them had grown up together and were so familiar with each other that they were inseparable. But at this moment, Nagato seemed to have lost his memory and could not tell whether the people speaking were his childhood friends.

If it were you, why would you make me disregard your lives...? We all know that my biggest dream is to protect both of you...

"Nagato!"

Suddenly, Yahiko shouted from the side. The red-haired young man turned around instinctively and saw his friend rushing towards him. The next moment, Yahiko bumped into his arms.

puff.

The kunai pierced the chest of the Akatsuki leader.

"You and Minami...you must live on together no matter what..." Blood and foam rushed into Yahiko's throat and lungs, making his voice indistinct:

"You are the savior of this world, and if it is you, then surely..."

He collapsed helplessly into the mud before he could finish his last words. Nagato stood frozen in place, unable to even support his friend's body.

"Yahiko——"

Xiao Nan's piercing screams echoed in the rain.

"Heh." Hanzo chuckled. He had regarded the Akatsuki organization as a major enemy, but he never expected that wiping out their high-ranking members would be so easy.

"kill."

He certainly wouldn't keep his promise.

A barrage of kunai shot towards Nagato like a storm.

boom!

Nagato raised his arm slightly, and a repulsive barrier enveloped him. A pure power, even more ferocious than [Half-Eye], surged forth, easily destroying metal objects, none of which could harm him.

He looked up at the people on the rock face.

Only then did the ninjas from Amegakure and Konoha realize that the red-haired young man had terrifying eyes, purple pupils surrounded by concentric ovals, as if he were trapped in an inescapable cycle of hell.

"These eyes..." Hanzo was horrified.

Unbeknownst to him, the Konoha side was even more shocked; that power that repelled everything... looked exactly like the [Moon God]!

It's coming... Hinata Yuto narrowed his eyes slightly.

He knew that Nagato would soon rush here to rescue Konan, only to have his legs blown off by a fire trap set up by Hanzo, leaving him with a lifelong disability.

Without his legs, which are known as the "roots of ninjas," even Nagato Uzumaki would be rendered powerless by 30%!

Yahiko can't be saved, but your legs do offer some flexibility...

Thinking this to himself, Hyuga Yuto took a deep breath and shouted:

"Nagato!"

The red-haired young man looked at him. Because of Konan, Nagato already knew that Hyuga Yuto had become the vice commander of the western front of Konoha.

Due to the development of Lion Fang Bite, the two became quite close. He had been thinking of meeting with Hyuga Yuto again when he had time to study the way of ninjutsu together.

But when they met again, they had become enemies with a blood feud.

"It seems you still remember me." Hinata Yuto chuckled.

"Unfortunately, we're now on opposite sides."

He gently rubbed his palm; there was a lot of powder that he had stuffed into the gaps between his fingernails beforehand.

This was scraped off by Hyuga Yuto from the inner layer of the Hannya mask.

The inner layer of that mask was coated with discarded God Mask by Hyuga Yuto, which can block chakra perception and Byakugan prying eyes. It is an "absolute dead object" that has no interaction with the outside world!

Hyuga Yuto slapped Konan hard on the back, the tooth-grinding sound of bones cracking echoing in the rain. But that wasn't all. His hands seemed to transform into dense lightning, constantly striking the woman's vital points and internal organs. Each time, his fingertips pierced her skin, drawing blood.

——Hinata·Rou Fist!

Even some soft-hearted Konoha ninjas couldn't stand it anymore; this was simply—no, this was torture!

Finally, after completing the entire set of Gentle Fist, Konan was covered in blood.

The Byakugan and sensory ninjas discovered that the Akatsuki woman's body was riddled with "unfathomable death holes," and her chakra was no longer flowing through her meridians. These were signs of a body that was beyond dead, even more certain than a heart that had stopped beating.

"Here you go!" Hyuga Yuto sneered, kicking Konan's "corpse" off the cliff.

"From this day forward, I have no further connection with the Akatsuki organization!"

Ruthless! So ruthless!

Even Danzo couldn't help but sigh inwardly, thinking that Hyuga Yuto was indeed a ruthless character. In order to clear himself of suspicion of colluding with an enemy organization, he actually tortured and killed this woman on the spot.

A member of Konoha's ANBU also glanced at Hyuga Yuto. He had been secretly ordered by Hiruzen Sarutobi to observe Hyuga Yuto and see if he was related to Tsukishin.

Now, he could almost rule out Hyuga Yuto as a suspect. The man's loyalty to Konoha was undeniable. How could he possibly launch a night raid on the village? To suspect him was an insult to the word "loyalty"!

As for Hanzo the Salamander, he was dumbfounded by Hyuga Yuto's series of actions... "My trap, which I put so much effort into, has been wasted?"

Those on the rock face were each lost in their own thoughts, but Nagato, in the vortex below, had only one feeling—

Pain! Utter pain!

He considered Yahiko and Minami his whole world, but now, heaven and earth have collapsed.

"Aaaaaahh ...

He roared loudly, his eyes bloodshot, and the hundreds of broken kunai stuck in the ground flew up and shot towards the crowd.

Most of them were there because of Hyuga Yuto!

The young man who had separated from the family appeared calm and collected as he dodged the attack, but inwardly he was cursing them all:

"Ingratitude, that damned whirlpool guy..."
