Mizukage's Pokémon Ninja Scroll

Chapter 342 Follow me first?

The scene before him made Jianchuan Ju's brain work at lightning speed.

"If Nagato's death was caused by using the Rinnegan, then while he was alive, the Rinnegan would definitely still be in his eye sockets; the gouging out of his eyes must have happened after his death."

"The Prayer of Resurrection doesn't have any teleportation or spatial effects, and those two Rinnegan were clearly growing little by little."

"So, when the skill determined Nagato's death, he should have possessed the complete Rinnegan?! So that's how you reverted to your pre-death state?!!"

The three, caught up in their joy, did not notice that Tachibana Kanagawa was looking at Nagato's Rinnegan with a complicated expression.

Originally, after drawing the skill "Prayer of Resurrection", it was a precious resurrection skill.

However, it can only revive those who died within the last 24 hours, has a cooldown period of up to one year, and can only revive one person at a time.

Jianchuan Ju has always felt that this skill is somewhat useless.

but now

Tachibana Kanagawa really wanted to go up and ask Nagato, who had just been resurrected.

"Would you mind dying once a year?"

If we kill Nagato every year after that, and then take his Rinnegan after he is completely dead, we can revive him.

Wouldn't that mean a new pair of Rinnegan could be created every year?

"I wonder if I can bring the tailed beast inside me when I'm resurrected?"

"Otherwise, it wouldn't be so bad if Ao-sensei died, right? At worst, we could form a Three-Tails army in the future and have Ao-sensei as the commander?"

"Hmm, it seems a bit too cruel to see our own people dying one after another, but going and capturing Kakashi to die wouldn't be bad!"

Kanakawa Tachibana's mind raced, and for a moment she began to indulge in unrealistic fantasies.

However, Xiao Nan's voice interrupted his thoughts.

"Tachibana, thank you!"

After saying that, Konan bowed deeply to Kanagawa Tachibana.

Yahiko and Nagato immediately got up from the ground with serious expressions and bowed together.

"Tachibana! Thank you!" x2

Looking at the three tearful people in front of him, Tachibana Kenkawa casually waved his hand.

"No need to be so polite. I was partly responsible for Nagato's accident this time."

"Let's hear what Nagato has to say about what happened before."

Although Tachibana Kanakawa had some vague guesses, she still needed to verify them with what Nagato knew.

Upon hearing this, the three slowly stood up, all looking at Jianchuan Ju with gratitude.

The fact that this young man, who is now the village's leader, was able to travel thousands of miles to rescue Nagato deeply moved the three of them.

Although it is unknown what kind of ninjutsu Tachibana Kenkawa used, such a terrifying ability to revive the dead must come at a considerable price.

However, seeing that Tachibana Kanakawa seemed unwilling to explain, the three of them buried their gratitude in their hearts, intending to repay her later when the opportunity arose.

Nagato, who had just been resurrected, did not hesitate and immediately began to recount what had happened before.

"After that unknown black monster controlled me, it used a ninjutsu called Outer Path Samsara of Heavenly Life to revive the slain Uchiha Obito."

"Then a strange tentacle grew out of the white monster on Obito Uchiha's body, stuck into me, and drained all my life force and chakra."

"Then I lost consciousness and don't know what happened after that."

After listening, Jianchuan Ju nodded thoughtfully.

"It seems Nagato didn't experience reincarnation before, but that makes sense. If he did now, he wouldn't have failed to revive Yahiko when he died in the original story."

"But Nagato didn't die because he used Rinne Rebirth, did he?"

"Then why did Tobi absorb Nagato's life force and chakra later? Was it simply to kill Nagato? It can't be that simple."

Although some doubts have been resolved.

However, this also brought a number of new problems.

However, there is another matter that Tachibana Kanagawa is concerned about, and she needs to ask Nagato about it.

"Nagato, after Obito Uchiha was resurrected, did he still have the Sharingan in his right eye?"

Although Nagato had some doubts about Tachibana's question, he still answered honestly.

"Here I am."

"As expected, it must have been cured by the Reincarnation and Heavenly Mandate combined."

Then, Tachibana Kenkawa turned to Yahiko and asked.

"Was there any blood on the ground when you found Nagato's body?"

Only half of the soil containing Obito Uchiha's blood that Tachibana Kenkawa had previously collected remained.

If you have the other party's new blood, it's a good method to use it for 'transformation' or to try 'death possession blood'.

Unfortunately, Yahiko shook his head with a somewhat solemn expression.

"No, and there were obvious signs that the area around Nagato's body had been cleaned up."

After hearing this, Jianchuan Ju rubbed her temples, feeling a bit of a headache.

"So, they've figured out why Obito was attacked? That makes sense. With Black Zetsu, that knowledgeable old monster, he probably already knew about techniques like Death Possession."

"I wonder if it will still work if I try again later? Sigh, they probably already guessed that I was behind this. I need to be careful of their retaliation."

"It would be best to send out some White Zetsu to monitor their movements first."

Although Tachibana herself doesn't know whether the current situation is good or bad, she has at least obtained the information she wanted.

Jianchuan Ju patted her cheeks, composing herself.

Only then did he look at Yahiko and the other two with a serious expression and speak.

"Nagato must have told you about Obito Uchiha's existence and his purpose, right?"

All three nodded upon hearing this.

As early as when Obito Uchiha first appeared, Tachibana Kenkawa shared some information with Nagato.

Given Nagato's personality, it's unlikely he would keep it from Yahiko and the other two.

However, after discussing it, the three of them, despite being on guard, did not have any good solutions for the elusive Uchiha Obito.

"This time, the other side believes that Nagato is dead and that they have obtained the Rinnegan, so they should not attack the Akatsuki again."

"However, Nagato definitely can no longer show his face openly."

"As you have seen before, even among the core members of Akatsuki, there are spies disguised as White Zetsu."

"If the other side finds out that Nagato is still alive and has gained another pair of Rinnegan, they will definitely come looking for him, and it might even implicate the entire Akatsuki organization."

Upon hearing that he might implicate Yahiko and Konan, Nagato immediately looked anxiously at Tachibana.

"Ju, what should we do?"

Yahiko and the other person also turned their gazes towards them at the same time.

Jianchuan Ju looked at the three of them, suppressing the urge to curl her lips, and said in a calm tone.

"Currently, I am probably the only one in the ninja world who possesses the means to deal with White Zetsu."

"I'll let Nagato stay with me for now."
