Zhu Tian started by deceiving his father-in-law from the perspective of pirates

Chapter 237 With the Rinnegan in hand, Konan, you don't want Nagato either?

I never expected that I would travel to the time when Pain attacked Konoha. But this timing is actually good, as I can do a lot of things.

When you travel too far into the future, many plot points haven't even begun, the main characters haven't grown up at all, and you can't get many good things even if you want to.

"Gentlemen! You must be tourists here! Please come with us to the underground shelter; it'll be safer there." Two ANBU ninjas immediately stopped Rhodes and his companions from leaving and said.

Without saying a word, Rhodes used Conqueror's Haki to knock out the two Konoha ninjas.

Please! You've been attacked, and now I'm going to deal with the people who attacked you. I'm doing this to help you.

The only beings capable of withstanding my Conqueror's Haki are those at an extraordinary level; ordinary life forms that have only learned some chakra ninjutsu.

Their mental strength was simply insufficient to resist his own pressure; Conqueror's Haki is a pressure that comes from one's level of life and one's own aura.

With a life level equivalent to that of a demigod, combined with the Conqueror's Haki formed by Rhodes's aura, even beings at the demigod level would feel pressure.

The group threw the two ANBU members on the ground and left Konoha Village.

Upon arriving outside the village, both Rod and Kaido simultaneously unleashed their Observation Haki and began searching for their targets.

Meanwhile, within Konoha Village, numerous ninjas were engaged in battle with Pain, and Konan's paper clones were searching for Naruto's whereabouts on the battlefield.

Even if an ordinary ninja unleashes their full power, they are powerless against the Six Paths' clones. Only elite Jonin-level ninjas can barely put up a fight.

Soon, one of the Six Paths of Pain used the power of King Yama to extract Naruto's soul and learned that Naruto was training at Mount Myōboku and was not in Konoha Village at all. Therefore, the Six Paths of Pain sent all his other clones out of Konoha Village.

Only Pain was left behind, with the intention of unleashing a super attack on Konoha.

In no time at all, Kaido and Rod discovered Nagato's sanctuary.

"Don't go over there yet. Wait until this guy is at his weakest." Rhodes stopped Kaido from making a move.

After Nagato finishes using Super Shinra Tensei, his chakra will be depleted to an unprecedented level, and that will be the best opportunity to engage in battle.

"Ahem! Xiao Nan, I need to concentrate," said a gaunt, red-haired man.

"Pain! Using that move will damage your lifespan."

"I have to do this; I need to concentrate."

Konoha Village. His purpose in coming here is revenge, as his parents were killed by Konoha ninja when he was young.

After that, Danzo, the leader of the Root organization and an elder of Konoha, forced him to kill his best friend, even though Jiraiya had taken him as a student and had been kind to him.

But no matter what, he could not forgive the Hidden Leaf Village and he had to make them feel the pain, the pain he had suffered.

"Let the world feel pain! Super Shinra Tensei!" A tremendous repulsive force erupted from the sky, centered on Pain, and the entire Hidden Leaf Village was flattened by this power.

In just a moment, it destroyed Konoha Village, causing numerous civilian casualties, and even some low-ranking ninjas died.

After unleashing her ultimate attack, Nagato entered a weakened state. Rhode smiled and led the group to her side.

To be honest, the Rinnegan's abilities are a bit exaggerated, with too many strange and unique powers. It's best to wait until he's weakened before making a move.

"Wait! Nagato, watch out! Someone's coming from outside!" Konan's expression changed. She sensed that several people had arrived outside the paper tree where she and Nagato were hiding.

Damn it, why now? It has to be when Nagato is most exhausted.

"Will you two come out yourselves, or should I drag you out?" Rhodes asked.

"Konan! Buy me some time. As long as my chakra recovers, those guys outside won't be a threat." Nagato's expression was somewhat grave.

The other side must have discovered them a long time ago! Choosing this moment to strike was definitely intentional.

The paper tree was opened, and out of it emerged a blue-haired girl wearing a red robe with black cloud patterns.

"Are you sure you want to do it now? Or would you like to hear my terms?" Rhodes smiled as he looked at Konan, who was about to make her move.

This girl is very popular in Naruto, with her mature and sophisticated looks and cool personality.

"Wait a minute, Konan, you guys aren't from Konoha, are you? What's your purpose?" At this point, it would be good to buy some time so I could recover more chakra.

They deliberately chose to come when they were weak, and they didn't care at all that Konoha Village was destroyed. These guys weren't from Konoha. Since they weren't from Konoha Village, then they could talk to each other.

Nagato sensed the immense danger emanating from his Rinnegan and knew he would not want to start a war unless absolutely necessary.

"My goal is simple: I need the Rinnegan. In a peaceful way, you can give me the Rinnegan yourself, and I will give you some benefits, such as restoring your emaciated body to its original state."

"To replenish your lost life force, or rather, to kill you and then gouge the Rinnegan out of your eyes," Rhodes said.

"I will not give the Rinnegan to anyone."

"I heard that the Reincarnation Banquet has a ninjutsu that can resurrect the dead? Actually, I'm quite curious, why don't you use this ninjutsu to resurrect your friend?"

When I watched the anime back then, I found it strange that if you have the ability to resurrect, why don't you resurrect your best buddy?

If you say that you were misled by Obito Uchiha before and didn't intend to revive your comrades, then that's fine too.

But after you were defeated by Naruto's verbal sparring, Pain's corpse was still in Konoha.

You resurrected all the civilians and ninjas of Konoha, but forgot your best buddy. What do you mean by that? Are you two brothers going to keep each other company in the afterlife?

Or perhaps you don't want to see your best buddy and his girlfriend together?

"I don't need to explain so much to you. If you want to fight, then go ahead." Since the other party has set their sights on the Rinnegan, there is no need for negotiation.

Meanwhile, Naruto Uzumaki also began a fierce battle with Pain, but the appearance of Rhodes and others prevented them from intervening.

Pain, the Deva Path, and the other Pains fought rather conservatively, intentionally or unintentionally dragging out the time.

"You know what? The Rinnegan's abilities are indeed very strange, but mine are even stranger: the Weakness Curse, Ghostly Appearances, Unpredictable Pain, and Life Siphoning."

Rhodes showed no mercy, unleashing a barrage of warlock spells upon Nagato Uzumaki.

What you lack most is vitality!

This move is most effective against weaker opponents. As for the angel sister who uses paper, she was directly stopped by Kaido.

The others had no desire to make a move and simply watched the show from the sidelines.

"Is your attack just tickling me?" Kaido looked at the paper shuriken that was shot at him speechlessly, without any intention of dodging or even covering it with Armament Haki, and simply withstood the attack with his bare body.

Although the underlying principle is unknown, even if paper is reinforced to the same degree as ordinary steel, it cannot harm itself.

"Damn it! Since the paper shuriken can't hurt you, what about the explosive tag!" Konan immediately changed her strategy.

He transformed all his paper shuriken into explosive tags with extremely high explosive power, and then bombarded Kaido with them.

However, something distracted her. At that moment, Nagato Uzumaki was directly sucked up by Rhodes's life siphon, and his already meager life force was immediately depleted.

Rhodes's sorcery is not chakra magic; his abilities cannot be absorbed or reflected.

The sorcerer's various bizarre spells struck him, producing unexpected effects.

Using various Destruction Warlock spells, this guy might even be able to absorb them, but if it's Affliction Warlock, well! You're in for a rough time.

"Isn't your catchphrase about making others suffer? Now it's your turn, now you come and experience the pain."

Rhodes reached out and continued using Life Siphon on Nagato, along with other Affliction Warlock abilities.

"Aaaaah!" Nagato screamed in agony, feeling as if his soul was being sucked out, his life hanging by a thread, and even his consciousness beginning to blur.

Moreover, he was in excruciating pain all over his body, even his soul was aching.

Pain, unparalleled pain, tormented him.

"Nagato!" Konan's expression changed drastically.

"Thunderous Eight Trigrams!" Teacher Kai showed no mercy or leniency, delivering a solid Thunderous Eight Trigrams strike to Xiao Nan, but what he destroyed was a paper clone.

"Tch, you little brat, this time I'm definitely going to find your true form."

Kaido said somewhat impatiently, "This girl's ability is quite strange. Logically, my Haki should be able to detect her, but her ability is completely different from that of a Devil Fruit."

Armament Haki couldn't disable her abilities or detect her, and her body could indeed be turned into paper.

What a troublesome ability.

"Konan! You don't want me to kill Nagato like this, do you?" Rhodes stepped forward, grabbed Nagato by the neck, and quickly gouged out his two Rinnegan eyes.

At this point, Nagato was on the verge of death and could lose his life at any moment.

"What, what do you want to do? You already have the Rinnegan, what more do you want?" Konan asked Rhodes through gritted teeth.

"If you don't want him to die, stop right now."

"Cough cough! Konan, don't worry about me, run quickly, get out of here." Nagato said weakly, blood swirling from his eyes.

He could feel that this guy had drained all the life energy from his body, and he was about to die.

"Nagato! Damn it! Let him go!"

"Looks like you haven't figured things out yet!" A slight smile appeared on Rod's lips.

Xiao Nan gritted her teeth, turned around and dodged Kaido's attack. A pair of paper wings materialized on her back, and she flew into the sky.

Nagato is finished, but she won't just surrender. She plans to use the ninjutsu she prepared for the Yu Live Team to take these guys down with her using a billion explosive tags.

"Divine Paper Technique! Nagato, I will avenge you! This move was originally prepared for another guy." Konan looked at Rhodes and the others and said with a resolute expression.

Behind her, countless explosive tags appeared, forming a vast expanse like a boundless ocean.

"hehe!"

Rhodes smiled, waved his hand, and activated his Mirror Space ability. A strange light screen enveloped Xiao Nan, directly taking all of her explosive tags inside.

Outside, Xiao Nan was forming hand seals, but the scene was somewhat awkward. The explosive tags she summoned disappeared completely in an instant.

His most prized and most powerful killing technique was so easily countered.

"Space-Time Ninjutsu!"

"It's a kind of spatial ability application, but it's not ninjutsu. Beautiful lady, are you interested in coming to work for me?"

"I offer you great benefits here. The explosive tags you just made, and your ability to control paper, are quite impressive." Of course, the most important thing is that you're good-looking.

"Since that's the case, I have nothing more to say. Do as you please! Kill me and Nagato." Konan descended from the sky as if resigned to her fate, and said with a resolute expression.

If the opponent has mastered space-time ninjutsu, then she won't even have a chance to escape.

What he had originally intended to use against Madara Uchiha was so easily neutralized by the opponent.

I have absolutely no chance against this level of spatial ninjutsu mastery.

"Heh! This is my ability. If you agree to serve me, your companion won't have to die, and I can even restore him to normal," Rhodes said.

Since we already have the Rinnegan, restoring Nagato Uzumaki himself shouldn't be a problem.

Most of his abilities are based on the Rinnegan. Without the Rinnegan, Rhode doesn't take his opponent seriously at all.

"Now I want to hear your answer: do you choose to die together, or do you agree to my conditions?" Rhodes asked.

Upon hearing this, Konan fell silent once again. Was the value of the Rinnegan really less than her own?

Was the purpose of restoring Nagato to normal just so that he could serve Nagato?

She always felt that the man's gaze was extremely evil, a gaze that sent chills down Xiao Nan's spine.

"Purein! I need to use your Memory-Memory Fruit ability." Seeing that Konan didn't answer, Rhodes decided to directly erase her memories and modify them.

"Yes! No problem, Lord Rhodes, Pudding is willing to do anything for you." Pudding immediately stepped forward with a smile.

"Wait a minute. If you can really restore Nagato, then I promise to serve you," Konan said through gritted teeth.
