Starting as the mastermind behind Naruto

Chapter 310 Damn it, it's Orochimaru again! (Fifth update! Requesting monthly votes!)

The Konoha ninjas moved very quickly.

The bodies of those who died in battle were brought here today.

All the reconnaissance ninjas who died after Pain's invasion, up to the sealing team ninjas who were wiped out by the Edo Tensei ninjas, were sent to Nagato.

The corpses were densely packed on the ground, and even a rough look revealed that there were more than a thousand people, which was quite a sight. Jiraiya and Kakashi Hatake's corpses were among them.

"They're almost all here."

Tsunade stood beside Nagato, her voice low and somber, and said, "There are still some remains that are incomplete, and we can't even find any parts of their bodies..."

Those people may have been shattered into pieces due to powerful spells or violent explosions, and since their corpses were not complete, they naturally could not be reincarnated or resurrected.

Unless someone helps them perform Edo Tensei to repair their bodies...

Unfortunately, such a thing is obviously unlikely. Might Guy is the only lucky one. He was just resurrected by Edo Tensei when someone used Rinne Reincarnation to revive him.

Konan stood behind Nagato and whispered, "Nagato... are you really going to do this? Uehara seems to be in some discomfort..."

"…I see."

Nagato nodded, then glanced at Konan before lowering his head and saying, "It's alright, I've arranged everything... Konan, I have something to say to Uehara privately. Could you please call him over for me?"

"it is good."

Xiao Nan nodded gently.

This was the last period of Nagato's life, and what he was about to say would surely be his last words, at least for Nagato himself.

After Uehara Naraku arrived and Konan left.

Nagato looked at Uehara Naraku and sighed, "Looking at him now, that twelve-year-old kid has really grown up a lot. He's already capable of protecting us..."

"Good to know."

Uehara Naraku's expression wasn't very pleasant.

Nagato looked at Uehara Naraku's expression, his face gradually becoming serious. He suddenly said, "Uehara, after I die, don't let me be resurrected..."

"..."

Uehara Naraku's heart skipped a beat.

At that moment, he involuntarily looked at Nagato, as if Nagato had seen through everything he had arranged.

"Is that really what you think?"

Nagato frowned. He had only been testing Uehara Naraku, but it seemed that the little guy really wanted to revive him!

Nagato walked over, patted Uehara Naraku on the shoulder, and whispered, "Uehara, my death is not only to revive Jiraiya-sensei, but also to correct the mistakes I made by being deceived by Obito and the others..."

"You want to use the Rinnegan to revive me, right? I understand your feelings, but don't let my actions cause the death of another innocent person, or even your own. That's something I don't want to see."

Because Nagato had once considered reviving Yahiko.

Unfortunately, he realized at that time that this idea was wrong. Even if he resurrected Yahiko, he would not be able to change this flawed world. In the end, Yahiko and Konan might not be able to live peacefully in this world.

"Oh, dying once is a form of atonement."

Uehara Naraku nodded seriously.

Uehara strongly agreed with Nagato's words that one should never be killed just to revive another. Fortunately, the person responsible for reviving Nagato with the Rinnegan was not innocent.

Who in this world would say Orochimaru is innocent?

Orochimaru has the blood of innocent people on his hands. Anyone who dares to say that Orochimaru is innocent will be killed innocently by Uehara Naraku.

Moreover, it's still uncertain whether Orochimaru will lose his life because of this!

"alright."

Nagato stood on tiptoe, wanting to ruffle Uehara Naraku's hair as he used to, but unfortunately Uehara Naraku had grown too tall over the years, so Nagato could only pat him on the shoulder.

Nagato gazed at Uehara Naraku and said softly, "I've said what I said before. Now it's just you and Konan left. As a man, don't worry your teacher too much. Protect Konan well, understand?"

"rest assured."

Uehara Naraku nodded solemnly.

Even if Nagato didn't mention it, Uehara Naraku would definitely protect Konan, and he has already prepared enough protective measures for her.

Even if Madara Uchiha were to be resurrected in the future, he would never be able to harm Konan!

"I believe you can do it."

Nagato looked at Uehara Naraku, his voice gradually becoming somewhat low, and said, "Then, the future of Konan, Amegakure, and Akatsuki is all in your hands."

"…Um."

Uehara Naraku's face darkened slightly.

The two of them didn't say much, or rather, they had already said a lot of what they should have said over the years, and the topics were too heavy to discuss before their impending separation, which was not suitable for their time together.

After giving his last words, Nagato slowly closed his hands, clenched his fists, and shut his eyes, his voice gradually lowering...

"The Heretical Path of Reincarnation and Heavenly Life Techniques"

The next moment, a light flashed in his Rinnegan.

A giant head of Yama emerged from the ground. This Yama slowly opened its mouth, and countless beams of green light shot out from its mouth!

Those are the souls of the dead!

The souls of the deceased entered their bodies one by one, and their wounds healed almost instantly, their bodies gradually regaining vitality.

The first person to be resurrected has appeared!

It was Might Guy, whose body and soul were both present!

When he was resurrected by the Reincarnation Rebirth, the cracked marks on his face disappeared without a trace, and he was also freed from the control of the Impure World Reincarnation.

The second person to be resurrected was Kakashi Hatake.

Kakashi Hatake slowly opened his eyes, somewhat incredulous that he had returned to the world of the living, because just a moment ago he was on his way to the underworld, chatting with his father, Sakumo Hatake…

Having gone through a life-or-death experience, Kakashi Hatake's inner conflicts were resolved, and his childhood complaints about his father disappeared without a trace. He would never blame his father again.

"Will we never see each other again?"

Kakashi Hatake felt a sense of loss, because after parting from his father's soul, he missed his father again.

Someone heard his wish to see his father.

After seeing Kakashi Hatake sit up, Uehara Naraku slowly raised his finger and quietly informed Kabuto Yakushi: "Kakashi Hatake has been resurrected... Go and try to revive Sakumo Hatake using the Impure World Reincarnation technique! Let them see each other again!"

"..."

Kabuto had no choice but to accept the order.

To be honest, Kabuto feels like they've already built up a lot of father-son bonds, like Minato Namikaze and Naruto Uzumaki, Kakashi Hatake and Sakumo Hatake, the Fourth Kazekage Rasa and the Fifth Kazekage Gaara...

That's a really wicked person!

As one by one the dead are resurrected, every ninja rushes over to embrace their resurrected friends and family, overjoyed to see them again.

One of the most important people slowly opened his eyes.

Jiraiya.

Everyone involuntarily watched as Jiraiya's tall figure stood up again, while Naruto and Tsunade held back their tears, refusing to let them fall.

"What's going on?"

As Jiraiya gradually awoke, his gaze slowly moved, surveying the noisy surroundings, until it finally settled on Naruto and Nagato.

"A lecherous immortal!"

Naruto Uzumaki stood beside him and explained in a low voice, "It was Nagato who revived you with his own life and the power of his Rinnegan..."

"..."

Jiraiya's expression turned ugly.

As a teacher, he would never want to see his disciple pay the price of his life to revive him; he would much rather see his disciple safe and sound.

The next moment, Jiraiya walked a few steps to Nagato's side, squatted down and looked at his disciple, whose face was full of weakness. His originally ugly expression immediately turned into one of tenderness.

"Nagato..."

"teacher."

Nagato calmly shook her head, and weakly said, "It's not too late for a person to correct their mistakes before they die, is it?"

"This is not your fault."

Jiraiya stared into Nagato's eyes and said in a deep voice, "Tell me quickly, is there any other way to reverse all of this?"

"..."

Unfortunately, Nagato no longer had the strength to answer.

After unleashing the Samsara of Heavenly Life Technique, Nagato was doomed, especially since he was already extremely weak and the Samsara of Heavenly Life Technique had completely exhausted his life force.

"The art of reincarnation is irreversible."

Konan's eyebrows slowly lowered as she looked at Nagato, who was bowing his head. Suppressing her grief, she lowered her head and said, "Teacher, all of this was Nagato's own choice. Killing you was his biggest regret..."

"But I've never blamed him..."

Jiraiya's eyes twitched as he suppressed his sorrow.

The man, who was over fifty years old, slowly extended his palm. Looking at Nagato's hair, which had turned completely white, the sadness in his eyes was almost unbearable.

If he could, he would prefer to die while his disciples survive, for that would be the true inheritance.

Jiraiya extended his palm and slowly placed his disciple on the ground, tidying his clothes.

One by one, the Konoha ninjas slowly gathered around, quietly bowing their heads to pray for the ninja who had given his life.

After this brief ceremony ended.

Jiraiya slowly raised his head, looked at his other disciple, and whispered, "Konan, what are your plans now?"

Konan glanced at the lonely Uehara Naraku in the distance and said softly, "Uehara and I will bring Nagato and Yahiko's remains back to Amegakure..."

"Where's Xiao?"

"Uehara and I will leave Akatsuki."

After a moment of silence, Konan continued, "However, this depends on Uehara's decision. Perhaps we will re-establish Akatsuki as an organization that mediates wars..."

"Those rogue ninja might not agree, right?"

"If they refuse to agree..."

Konan lowered her head and said softly, "We should be able to drive them out. Uehara and I have enough strength... The only problem is Nagato's Rinnegan."

"..."

Jiraiya fell silent.

To be honest, he really wanted to destroy those two Rinnegan.

No matter who gets their hands on the Rinnegan, it will cause a huge problem, because everyone has witnessed its power; its various amazing abilities and the reincarnation technique are astonishing.

Just as they were still pondering, a sinister voice suddenly entered their ears: "Let me handle the matter of the Rinnegan for you!"

A Flying Thunder God kunai was stuck next to Nagato's body.

The next moment, Minato Namikaze suddenly appeared, his hand immediately grabbing Nagato's corpse, and he disappeared from everyone's sight using the Flying Thunder God Technique!

"Damn it, it's Orochimaru again!"

Five watches completed, four watches tomorrow!

By the way, I'd like to ask for some monthly tickets. Also, here's the tipping rule: I'll add one more chapter for every 30,000 tips collected!
