Chapter 184 The Calm Before the Storm

"Jiraiya-sensei, aren't you underestimating me?"

Since using the Rinnegan to summon the Gedo Mazo, when has Nagato ever been looked down upon like this?

Even Madara Uchiha (Obito) didn't dare to raise his voice at him.

"Just a mere Hidden Leaf Village? Do you really think this puppet of Pain is a pushover?"

"You underestimate the ninjas of Konoha."

Shaking his head, Jiraiya led Pain downstairs, saying as they walked, "We know you're strong with the Rinnegan, and you have more than just this one puppet. But guess what? Now that we know you can control puppets, will we leave the village to find your real body?"

Upon hearing this, Nagato, who was hiding not far outside Konoha Village, immediately said to Konan beside him, "Konan, sense if there are any Konoha ninjas around us."

"What happened?"

While asking questions, Xiao Nan was also trying her best to sense her surroundings.

Konan carefully chose this hiding place, which was far from the road but not too far from Konoha.

Furthermore, she also laid out many paper talismans around the area to ensure the safety of her hiding place.

At this moment, she strengthened her connection with the surrounding shikigami, and soon she sensed that quite a few ninjas wearing Konoha headbands had indeed appeared around her.

However, these ninjas had not yet discovered their true hiding place and had not yet formed an effective encirclement.

"It seems I really underestimated these Konoha ninjas."

Thanks to Jiraiya.

Nagato had already discerned it from his words.

We in Konoha know your Akatsuki organization and you, Nagato, very well. Don't think you can act recklessly in Konoha just because you're strong.

Of course, this was intentional on Jiraiya's part, meant to warn Nagato not to cause trouble in the village.

It seems that the warning was quite effective.

"Old man, let them all disperse. Nagato just came to chat with me."

The Third Hokage gave Jiraiya a deep look and chose to believe him.

The Third Hokage waved his hand, and the ninjas hiding in the shadows immediately lowered their guard and resumed their normal activities.

Meanwhile, the Third Hokage himself leisurely went home, puffing on his pipe.

"Let's go."

".good."

Jiraiya knew that Nagato might be in a hurry, so the two of them walked at a fast pace. Before long, they left the village and arrived at a place not far from where Nagato was hiding.

"Alright, I think you probably don't want me to know where you're hiding, so I'll leave you here."

As he spoke, Jiraiya gestured to Minato Namikaze and Sakumo Hatake, who were standing in the tree, indicating that they didn't need to be so nervous.

Pain glanced at Minato and Sakumo, then nodded.

Nagato really didn't want Jiraiya to see him now, so thin and frail, and he especially didn't want him to see Konan.

Nagato knew that Konan only appeared cold on the surface, but was actually a girl with rich emotions.

Even if the two of them meet, it won't have any real meaning, so why add to their troubles?

"Alright, I will send someone to Amegakure to inform you after Yahiko is resurrected."

"Okay, then I'll leave it to Jiraiya-sensei."

"Haha, I'm your teacher, what's with all this talk about trouble?"

Jiraiya laughed heartily, patted Pain on the shoulder, and then started walking back.

Seeing this, Minato Namikaze and the others knew that a conflict was unlikely, and they began to call for their men to return to Konoha.

"Don't worry, teacher, I won't let anyone disturb Yahiko's resurrection."

Although Jiraiya had already stated that he did not need any reward, Nagato had his own considerations.

After all, he and Jiraiya had different positions, and he didn't want to take too much advantage of the other, lest he hesitate to act when the time came.

Considering Konoha's current situation, in order not to owe Jiraiya too much, and to prevent others from interfering with Yahiko's resurrection, Nagato has decided to target either Kumogakure or Iwagakure.

If we can take down one of the ninja villages, leaving them too busy to deal with Konoha, then Konoha, with its size, can easily take down the remaining one.

"Nagato, are you alright?"

"It's alright, the Konoha ninjas have all left."

"That's good. I thought you had a conflict with Jiraiya-sensei in Konoha."

"No, Jiraiya-sensei readily agreed to revive Yahiko."

"Really? That's wonderful. Once Yahiko is revived, the three of us can be together again."

At this moment, Xiao Nan seemed to have returned to the smiling little girl she used to be.

Looking at Konan like this, Nagato remained silent for a while before saying, "Let's go back to Amegakure."

"OK."

This work was compiled and uploaded by [author's name].

"After you return to the village, please inform Zetsu and have it keep a close eye on the Fourth Raikage and the Third Tsuchikage."

"Nagato, what's wrong with you??"

"This is something that must be done in order to revive Yahiko."

".I see."

The two hurried back to Amegakure, only to discover that Zetsu, who had left the village some time ago, had not yet returned.

"I don't know what Zetsu has been up to lately. He's either urging me to implement the plan to capture the tailed beasts ahead of schedule, or he's nowhere to be seen."

"Nagato, I feel that Zetsu has some ill intentions."

"It doesn't matter. Aren't there plenty of people in the organization with their own agendas? As long as they can be used by me, that's fine."

What was Black Zetsu doing at this moment?

It is lurking in the Sand Village of the Land of Wind, watching the every move of Gaara, the Jinchuriki of the One-Tailed Beast.

Once it has a complete grasp of Gaara's movements, that's when it will take action to capture the One-Tailed Jinchuriki.

However, its fighting strength is well-known, and it will inevitably need the help of others to successfully capture Gaara.

The choice has already been made: Kisame Hoshigaki.

Obito was originally the best choice; he could have used Kamui to get Gaara without anyone noticing.

But this guy's recent behavior has made Black Zetsu lose control of him.

The talisman on Obito's heart is the last resort; it doesn't want to completely turn against Obito unless absolutely necessary.

Therefore, within the Akatsuki organization, the only one who could help it was Kisame Hoshigaki.

It is, after all, the embodiment of Madara Uchiha's will. In order for the Eye of the Moon Plan to be implemented ahead of schedule, Kisame would probably not refuse to help it.

"It's just that old woman Chiyo is a bit of a nuisance. When we capture the One-Tailed Jinchuriki, we'll have to find a way to get her out of the way."

In order to train Gaara to become the Kazekage as soon as possible, Chiyo, the old woman who temporarily manages Sunagakure, makes Gaara go to the Kazekage's office building every day to assist her in reviewing documents.

It can be said that as long as Gaara turns fifteen next year, he will be able to become the youngest Kage in the history of the ninja world.

To avoid alerting the enemy, Black Zetsu patiently lay in wait.

Twenty days later, a new episode of the light screen video arrived!
