The Strongest Gentleman Development System in Naruto

At the point where the light shone, the black-haired boy who had exuded a heroic aura had vanished, replaced by a cute, petite blue-haired girl. "Now, Sister Xiaonan should be able to recognize me, right?"

"Muzuki-chan?! It really is you?!" Konan could no longer contain her joy and rushed forward to hug Muzuki tightly. "You really came... Yahiko. Yahiko, he..." She couldn't finish her sentence and burst into tears.

"Congratulations, host, on completing the selection. Rewards..."

Wu Yue didn't say much, only gently patting her back, letting her vent her anxiety, fear, and unease.

An unknown amount of time passed until a deafening roar erupted. Konan finally calmed herself and pulled away from Mugetsu's embrace. "Right, Nagato. Nagato…" Her gaze shifted to the still-raging, ferocious giant in the arena, her expression filled with worry.

Wu Yue naturally understood what she was worried about.

Witnessing Yahiko's death was already a huge blow to her. If something were to happen to Nagato, she might truly break down.

"Don't worry, leave it to me." At this moment, Wuyue felt that her boyfriend should indeed step up and do something. However, because she was still in her loli form, her behavior seemed a little strange.

Although he had absolutely no connection with either Nagato or Yahiko, he decided to lend them a hand for Konan's sake.

"Give it to you?" Konan was startled by his words. "Wait, Muzuki-chan."

"Don't worry, I won't hurt him." Wu Yue gave the other person a reassuring look, then vanished from the spot in a flash.

· ……

"I... I was worried about you..." Xiao Nan wanted to say these words, but it was too late.

Hu Chi.

In the arena, less than one-tenth of the remaining ninjas survived. And under the unparalleled power of the Gedo Mazo, the casualty count continued to decrease.

They did want to escape. After all, even their leader was dead, and staying here would be unwise. But the demonic golem gave them no chance to escape. It was as if it was deliberately targeting those who tried to flee; the moment their bodies left that area, they collapsed instantly, as if their souls had been drained.

In reality, this isn't the power of the Gedo Mazo, but rather an effect of Nagato's Rinnegan. It contains the absorption power of the Hell Path and the Preta Path. However, because it's not used voluntarily by Nagato, but rather triggered subconsciously, it only works on those about to leave the battle.

Rumble.

A deafening explosion echoed once more. The colossal demonic golem seemed to be launching a final, powerful attack. It raised its fists and slammed them down onto the ground. Countless fragments of rock and dirt flew into the air! A powerful shockwave spread wildly in all directions, and the exploding blood spurs bloomed like flower buds.

After that attack, apart from Nagato, there wasn't a single living creature left on the field. The wasteland, piled with ruins and body parts, looked even more desolate, as if it had survived an apocalyptic catastrophe.

Nagato knelt in the center of the ruins. His gaze swept around, but the savagery and destructiveness in his eyes seemed impossible to quell.

Just then, a little girl with light blue hair slowly walked into the arena.

301 was seen through.

Nagato had clearly noticed the newcomer who had suddenly appeared in the arena. His gaze darkened slightly, as if he were deep in thought. But this thoughtful expression vanished quickly, replaced by a ferocious one. "Die!" With a roar, the Gedo Mazo moved once more.

Hu Chi.

A gigantic hand rose and slammed down towards Mugetsu, who had transformed into a little girl. At this moment, Nagato showed absolutely no mercy, regardless of her age or gender. His only thought was to destroy everything!

Tsk.

Wuyue's cherry-like lips curled slightly, a hint of mockery on her face. She raised her fair, jade-like hand, clenched her fist, and slammed it directly towards the direction from which the demonic statue was attacking.

Bang.

A loud, muffled thud.

The tiny, inexperienced fist, scraping against the air, produced a deafening sonic boom. It carried an unbelievable, terrifying power as it collided with the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path's palm.

Rumble.

The collision of these two forces was like two completely opposite energies in the universe squeezing each other. A thunderous explosion suddenly resounded. A powerful impact force, centered on the point of impact, spread wildly in all directions.

Splash!

Stones and gravel flew up like bullets at high speed, shooting out in all directions. The entire curtain of rain was also bounced away into the distance by this extremely strong airflow.

Swish, swish, swish.

Wuyue took several steps back, but her expression remained calm, showing no surprise. "So, using only one's own power isn't enough?"

Ow.

After this attack, the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path did not stop. A gigantic hand, seemingly capable of blotting out the sky, rose again and swept down upon Muyue with overwhelming force.

"Hmph." With a cold snort, Wuyue's body suddenly changed. Two curved horns grew from her forehead, and her entire body was covered in silver-white scales. Her pupils turned red, and amidst the blood-red hue, golden vertical pupils appeared.

Without dodging or avoiding, Wuyue stretched out her right hand and threw another punch.

Boom!

The enormous hand and the tiny, delicate fist collided once more, like two mountains weighing a thousand pounds crashing together. With a heavy, muffled thud, a powerful shockwave slowly rippled outwards.

This time, Wuyue's body still took two steps back. But the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path also fared poorly; Wuyue's fist pierced through the center of its palm, leaving a huge hole.

This scene clearly caught Xiao Nan's eye as well. Her beautiful eyes widened, her mouth gaped open, and an expression of disbelief appeared on her face.

My lover is this strong?! This is... the Celestial Dragon of Konoha?!

Clearly, she had heard of Wuyue's name long ago. However, she had never had a concrete understanding of it. But after witnessing it with her own eyes today, she finally understood... that the other party had become this powerful! That monster, which seemed invincible just by looking at it, was no match for her!

"Wow, that's really exaggerated."

"Humans can actually reach this level?"

At this moment, just a few hundred meters away, besides Konan, there were actually two other spectators with special identities. One was Obito Uchiha, dressed in a black cloak and wearing a vortex mask, and the other was Zetsu, the right-hand man left to him by Madara Uchiha before his death.

"Who is that girl?" Obito's expression behind his mask was one of utter bewilderment.

Originally, they had planned for the incident to end after Nagato's rampage. They never expected this guy to suddenly appear out of nowhere.

"Ah, you're asking me that? I don't know either," Bai Jue said helplessly, shrugging. "I don't even know when this guy showed up."

"That posture reminds me of someone," Black Zetsu analyzed calmly. "Back then, even Lord Madara found that person very troublesome."

"Yuhi Mugetsu?" After his companion's reminder, White Zetsu realized. "Ah, it seems that back then... that guy also turned into this strange form. But, Yuhi Mugetsu is a boy."

"Could it be his clansman, or a sister?" Black Zetsu narrowed his eyes.

“No. Yuhi Mugetsu only has one older sister, named Yuhi Kurenai.” Obito shook his head and said, “I’ve seen that girl before. She doesn’t look like this.”

"That's strange." Bai Jue's face showed a thoughtful expression.

"It's not just the posture. The way he fights is exactly the same as Yuhi Mugetsu." Black Zetsu said in a hoarse voice, "Could it be that that guy changed his gender for some reason?"

"Is it even possible to do something like that?" Obito asked in astonishment.

"If 570 is the Moonless Night, I believe he can do it." Even as an opponent, Black Zetsu had to express his admiration for the Moonless Night. "He is the most mysterious guy I have ever met, without a doubt. You'd better be careful when you deal with him in the future. If you are careless, even you... will probably die a very bad death."

"Hmph. I don't need you to remind me of this." Obito was clearly displeased with his admonition and said coldly.

"The battle over there is over," White Zetsu interjected, breaking the tense atmosphere. "Even Nagato, with his Rinnegan, was completely defeated! Should we go up and take them away now?"

“No need. That girl doesn’t seem interested in Nagato. We don’t need to clash with her.” Obito thought for a moment and said, “Let’s retreat for now and continue with the original plan.” As he spoke, he gradually became ethereal and disappeared from the spot.

"Ha, the original plan?" After glancing in the direction he had left, Black Zetsu turned his gaze back to where Mugetsu was. He muttered to himself, "That kind of thing couldn't have succeeded long ago."

302 Past, Present, and Future

Drizzling.

The sky gradually darkened, and the rain had not yet stopped.

Amegakure, inside the Akatsuki's stronghold.

Wuyue, who had turned back into a boy, leaned against the stone pillar by the gate, staring blankly at the raindrops dripping from the eaves.

Tapping.

Just then, he heard soft footsteps behind him. Without turning around, Wuyue knew that it must be his little sister, Xiao Nan.

In fact, there is little doubt about this.

The Akatsuki organization, a newly emerging force, had gathered many members under the leadership of Yahiko, Nagato, and Konan. However, when Konan returned to her base with Mugetsu, she found it in complete disarray and an empty warehouse.

"No, we didn't find a single one." Xiao Nan looked somewhat haggard. Although she had changed out of her wet clothes, her mental state was clearly very dejected.

"Let's prepare for the worst," Wuyue sighed.

He had already suspected it; the ordinary members of Akatsuki were likely dead. The culprit wasn't Danzo or Hanzo's faction. It was Obito Uchiha!

That guy wanted to use the Akatsuki, so he couldn't let these ordinary members continue to live. Their existence would obviously hinder Obito's plans. Therefore, their deaths were already inevitable.

However, it wasn't easy to tell Xiao Nanming about this. This series of events had already dealt her a heavy blow. Wu Yue thought it best not to burden her for the time being.

However, he underestimated Xiao Nan's intelligence; she seemed to have gleaned something from just a few words. "Why, why is this happening? Did we really do something wrong?"

“The idea is correct.” Wuyue sighed again, “but the method has gone astray. I told you about this a long time ago. The human heart is the most complex thing in the world. And your existence has not only affected Hanzo, but has also drawn out some more deeply hidden ambitious people.”

"An ambitious person?" Xiao Nan's expression faltered slightly.

“That’s right, an ambitious person.” Wuyue felt it was time to make some things clear. Otherwise, this girl might end up like in the original story, being sold out and then still helping the seller count the money. “Let’s start with the origins of the Rinnegan…”

This account is not very long.

However, considering the limits of what Xiaonan could accept, some additions and modifications were needed. Furthermore, taking into account her absorption capacity, occasional pauses were necessary. Therefore, by the time he finished speaking, it was completely dark outside the window.

"How could this be... how could it be like this?" After hearing the whole story, Xiao Nan was completely unable to accept it.

After all, this is just too bizarre and too unbelievable!

Nagato's Rinnegan wasn't actually hers? Madara Uchiha, Obito Uchiha, the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki… these names, these events, struck Konan's heart like a hammer blow. "So, from the very beginning, we were controlled by someone else? What organizations, what dreams—were they all just laughable illusions?"

At this moment, Xiao Nan was completely consumed by self-doubt. She even felt that her worldview had been overturned.

She did not doubt Wuyue's words: firstly, she did not believe that her lover would deceive her; secondly, she felt that she had no value in being deceived.

"Actually, you don't need to think like that," Wuyue comforted softly. "Although the path you took in the past was indeed laid out by others, you can control your own future."

"Confidence?" Xiao Nan lowered her head, lacking confidence. "Can you even do something like that?"

"Of course." Under the system's tutelage, Wuyue's emotional intelligence was now several times higher than before. She expertly reached out and wrapped her arm around Xiaonan's slender waist. "You still have me."

At times like these, saying such sweet words will obviously have a greater effect.

As expected, Konan was instantly captivated. She leaned her entire body against Mugetsu. Although she still felt a little strange facing Mugetsu in his boy form, she thought, "Mugetsu-chan... no matter what the future holds, meeting you is my greatest fortune."

"Sister Xiaonan, I promise I will never let you get hurt again," Wuyue said firmly. "However, you can't tell Nagato the truth yet. Otherwise, he might go to some extreme."

This wasn't just baseless speculation; it was a statement of fact. Nagato's personality leans towards gentleness and introversion. Once she realizes that she has been a pawn in someone else's game since birth, she will inevitably go to extremes.

Of course, he had absolutely no connection with Wuyue. If it weren't for Xiaonan's relationship with him, he wouldn't have bothered with her at all.

“I know that,” Konan nodded. Her tone was serious. “But according to what you said before, there’s a possibility that Obito Uchiha might come looking for us again?”

“It’s not just possible, it’s certain!” Wuyue said very seriously. “When that time comes, don’t show any hostility. Just keep him calm and collected. Once my preparations are complete, it’ll be time to close the net.”
