Starting as the mastermind behind Naruto

Chapter 293 Nine-Tailed Fox: Your Eyes Are Both Kind and Disgusting (Fourth Update!)

The viewing area in the distance.

Kabuto adjusted his glasses and glanced at the expressionless Uehara Naraku: "Lord Naraku, Lord Jiraiya has also fallen in battle!"

"..."

Minato Namikaze's expression was somewhat gloomy.

This time, Konoha's losses are far too devastating! Kakashi Hatake died at the very beginning, Might Guy followed suit, and now it's Jiraiya's turn…

Kabuto looked at Naraku Uehara and continued softly, "Should we resurrect Jiraiya-sama using the Impure World Reincarnation technique?"

"unnecessary."

Uehara Naraku shook his head, his voice tinged with complexity: "Someone will repay him with their own life. This is the ninja world; even if you die, you can be resurrected."

After saying that, Uehara Naraku glanced at Namikaze Minato and said, "However, that depends on whether the Fourth Hokage's son can live up to everyone's expectations... If Uzumaki Naruto's strength isn't quite there, then you'd better pray for yourselves!"

"..."

Everyone present fell silent.

On the battlefield.

Naruto's mind was still blank; he couldn't believe Jiraiya had died right before his eyes: "Perverted Sage...Perverted Sage?"

Naruto Uzumaki staggered a few steps instinctively, then knelt down on one knee beside Jiraiya, nudging him gently: "Perverted Sage?"

No matter how Naruto called out to him, Jiraiya could no longer respond.

With a relieved smile on his lips, Jiraiya entrusted his entire future to Naruto Uzumaki before taking his last breath.

Naruto Uzumaki still couldn't believe what he was seeing.

"Little Jiraiya..."

Master Shima's face was filled with grief.

"Naruto!"

Fukasaku, glancing at Nagato beside him, hurriedly reminded him, "Naruto, old woman, the enemy is still here. Now is not the time to mourn little Jiraiya!"

"..."

Nagato did not make a move, but instead looked down at the stunned Naruto Uzumaki and Jiraiya's corpses, his face full of complex emotions.

At that moment, no one knew what Nagato was thinking.

The next moment, Nagato's face turned completely indifferent.

Nagato suddenly kicked Naruto away, then conjured a black rod that pinned Naruto's shoulder to the ground!

"Jiraiya-sensei is dead."

Nagato stared at Naruto's increasingly angry face and coldly said, "Naruto, come with me now!"

"asshole!"

Fukasaku's tongue suddenly stretched out, about to bind Nagato's body, but Nagato easily pinned it to the ground with a black rod!

Shima Sage opened his mouth, about to unleash a torrent of flames: "Fire Release..."

"Shinra Tensei"

Nagato casually extended his palm and used Shinra Tensei to directly defeat Shima!

As the Outer Path, Nagato was able to use all the abilities of the Rinnegan, and even surpassed it in the power of his techniques!

Nagato had barely appeared when he used various methods to eliminate everyone present, his actions were swift and decisive.

Just as Nagato was walking towards Naruto, about to pick him up and take him away, a series of sharp shouts from afar interrupted his actions.

"Let go of Naruto!"

One after another, ninja squads appeared in the surrounding area.

As instructed by Jiraiya, in order to avoid greater losses, the troops responsible for providing support from behind did not appear on this battlefield.

However, once the sensory units noticed Jiraiya's death, these support units could no longer contain themselves and swarmed towards the battlefield, with thousands of ninjas densely surrounding it!

Nagato frowned slightly, looked up at the group of Konoha ninja charging towards him, and whispered, "Asura Path!"

The next moment, two mechanical arms suddenly appeared from behind Nagato's back. The two arms transformed into a rocket launcher, and countless dense rockets flew out rapidly, covering a large area of ​​the battlefield in an instant!

Countless ninjas were blasted away!

Nagato slowly extended his palm towards the group of ninjas charging at the forefront, and whispered, "Shinra Tensei!"

A powerful repulsive force erupted!

All the ninjas who charged at him were repelled by Nagato!

A look of fear flashed across the faces of the squads of Konoha ninja. They had never imagined that the enemy would be so powerful, treating the attack of thousands of people as nothing!

"Before God, no matter how many mortals there are, they are still just mortals."

Nagato gazed at the enemies, who were panting heavily and frozen in place, and slowly closed his palms: "Since you are Konoha ninjas, then let me show you the power you most desire to see!"

Nagato's voice deepened slightly, and his hands suddenly clenched together, causing vines to rapidly grow from beneath his feet: "Wood Release: Advent of the Sea of ​​Trees!"

Countless vines and thorns began to spread outwards in a dense, profusion!

Vines and thorns spread outwards, quickly piercing through the Konoha ninjas who tried to cross them, forcing them to finally leave the battlefield!

The Konoha ninjas' faces showed only greater fear of Nagato.

However, Uehara Naraku, who was watching the battle from a distance, almost went crazy!

"Is this a joke?"

Uehara Naraku slammed his fist into the ground, staring at the increasingly towering vines and thorns in the distance. His expression was incredibly complex: "When did Lord Nagato awaken Wood Release?! Why did he hide this from me?"

Damn it, what happened to trust between people?!

Why couldn't they say things to each other face to face? Why did Nagato hide the fact that he had awakened Wood Release? Did Nagato suspect him?

Why would Nagato suspect him?

Uehara Naraku clenched his fists tightly and said sharply, "Kabuto, write this down for me, and we'll settle the score with him later!"

"..."

Kabuto Yakushi glanced at Naraku Uehara speechlessly. Before saying these words, could Lord Naraku have considered how many things he had been hiding from them?

To be honest, Nagato's awakening of Wood Release was a coincidence.

Just as the Akatsuki organization was fully preparing for the battle against the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki and the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, Nagato, in order to ensure the smooth progress of his plan, secretly performed another Hashirama cell transplantation surgery without informing Uehara Naraku.

Because Nagato possessed the Rinnegan, he felt he could transplant more Hashirama cells, thereby gaining more life energy, chakra, and regenerative abilities.

However, Uehara Naraku has always disagreed...

Although Nagato didn't know why Uehara Naraku was so adamant about not agreeing to him transplanting more Hashirama cells, Nagato didn't care anymore in order to gain more power.

Once the Eight-Tails and Nine-Tails Jinchuriki are captured, the plan will succeed, and it won't matter if there are any side effects from transplanting Hashirama's cells.

Besides, Nagato himself felt pretty good about it.

In particular, he also awakened the Wood Release Kekkei Genkai.

Moreover, it has now been proven that Nagato did not make a mistake, and the Wood Release ninjutsu is indeed very useful, with the effects of the technique lasting and forcing the enemy to stay away.

Just as Nagato was unleashing his full power and slaughtering his enemies, a sharp claw suddenly flew out and abruptly tore apart the summoning arm on his back!

That claw... it's the Nine-Tailed Fox!

Nagato turned his head sharply and saw a nine-tailed creature with a blood-red body, but with six tails swaying behind it!

I don't know when...

Naruto Uzumaki has released the Nine-Tails from his body!

Or perhaps it was Jiraiya's death that completely enraged Naruto, causing him to finally stop hiding his violence and unleash the Nine-Tails within him!

But if we release the Nine-Tails now, it might not be so easy to lock it up again later, right?

The nine-tailed fox flew and landed on the ground!

The nine-tailed fox's crimson maw suddenly opened, and one energy blast after another quickly covered the surrounding vines, destroying a large area of ​​them!

"Nine-Tailed Fox?"

Nagato frowned slightly, then suddenly stretched out his palm towards Kurama, unleashing a surge of repulsive force: "Shinra Tensei!"

In an instant, the originally ferocious Nine-Tails was directly thrown away by the enormous repulsive force!

Nagato swung his hand and threw out black rods, pinning down one by one of Kurama's tails. But just as he finished pinning down the sixth tail, a seventh blood-red chakra tail grew from Kurama's back!

"Still getting stronger?"

Nagato frowned involuntarily as another black rod pinned the seventh tail to the ground. However, just as he was waiting for the Nine-Tails' eighth tail to emerge…

The ferocious nine-tailed fox suddenly spit out an energy blast at him!

What made Nagato's face even uglier was that the black rods pinned to Kurama's body were slowly breaking free from it!

"This chakra..."

Nagato's eyes narrowed involuntarily as he stared in disbelief at the Nine-Tails, whose eight tails had emerged simultaneously, breaking free from his Yin-Yang Release staff!

Nagato stared intently at the massive tailed beast lying on the ground in an attacking stance, a look of astonishment on his face: "Just in terms of chakra alone... even in its current state, it already far surpasses the other tailed beasts!"

How exactly are the Tailed Beasts created?

This ninja world is just too unfair!

Is there really such a big difference in the power of even the tailed beasts?

Nagato had participated in capturing the One-Tailed Beast and presided over the capture of the Six-Tailed Beast, but he had never seen such a massive amount of chakra as the Nine-Tails. In terms of sheer aura, it far surpassed any of the tailed beasts from the One-Tailed Beast to the Seven-Tailed Beast.

At this moment, a strange question popped into Nagato's mind: "If we were to absorb the Nine-Tails' chakra into the Gedo Mazo, wouldn't it take several times longer to absorb the other tailed beasts?"

The next moment, Nagato stopped thinking about the question.

Therefore, the chakra within Kurama suddenly expanded, and nine bright red tails danced wildly behind it, forming a gigantic fox standing in front of Nagato!

The Nine-Tails' complete form has fully manifested in the world!

Even the Konoha ninjas stared at the enormous Nine-Tails' true form with some fear and unease, involuntarily retreating as they recalled the Nine-Tails' ferocious night!

The Nine-Tailed Fox's rampage that night...

Konoha suffered heavy losses and never recovered.

The Nine-Tails didn't look at the Konoha ninjas because there was someone more attractive to it.

The Nine-Tails slowly lowered its head, a cruel glint appearing in its scarlet eyes. It stared into Nagato's eyes, slightly opening its mouth to reveal a mouthful of sharp teeth!

"Your eyes look very kind..."

Nine-Tailed Fox's eyes narrowed slightly, its voice even sounding somewhat gentle, but the next second its voice suddenly turned brutal: "Hmph, it only looks like it, but the aura inside disgusts me!"
