Ninja World: I, Kisame Hoshigaki, am no longer human!

"Yes, I... understand."

Upon hearing this, Nagato finally realized that he had underestimated his opponent.

At this moment, the White Snake Immortal flicked his tongue and activated his powerful sensory abilities, scanning the area within a radius of hundreds of kilometers.

It saw Jiraiya and the rest of Konoha on the ground, as well as Kisame flying in the sky, all fleeing the Land of Rain at an extremely fast speed.

Clearly, both Kisame and Jiraiya were afraid to face the White Snake Sage directly.

But the White Snake Immortal felt extremely ashamed.

As a celestial being from a sacred land, it should have remained aloof and detached from worldly affairs, yet it has personally intervened and participated in the struggle between the younger generation.

If Toad Ball and Live Slug knew about this, they would definitely laugh at it in their hearts.

Therefore, the White Snake Immortal did not want to stay a moment longer. After giving Nagato a few instructions, he turned into a wisp of white smoke with a "bang" and returned to Dragon Land Cave.

Nagato found the severed tail of the white serpent.

He reached into the white snake's mouth and took out Konan's body. Then, he picked Konan up and walked towards the tallest building in the center of Amegakure.

three days later.

After Nagato's powerful return, he first defeated the Sunagakure invaders, killed the Kazekage Rasa in public, and then drove away the Hokage and a group of ninja from Konoha, bringing Amegakure back into Amegakure's hands.

Under such circumstances, Nagato naturally gained the support of many Amegakure ninja and villagers, who regarded him as the savior of Amegakure and put him in the position of leader.

In three days, Nagato used ruthless methods to eliminate some dissidents and quickly took control of the entire Amegakure village, announcing the reconstruction of the Akatsuki organization there.

in the room.

Nagato, wearing that familiar black robe with red clouds, stood in front of the mirror, gazing at her reflection.

To be precise, he was staring at those Rinnegan eyes.

Judging from Obito's words, these eyes originally belonged to Madara Uchiha. Before his death, Madara transplanted the eyes to Nagato and sent Obito to monitor and control Nagato in order to realize some "Eye of the Moon Plan" and even revive Madara Uchiha.

So, am I just a container?

Nagato gave a self-deprecating smile.

He has always been very proud, after all, he has the same eyes as the Sage of Six Paths, and is the prophesied child in Jiraiya's words, who will change the world.

Anyone in such a situation would likely be bursting with confidence, convinced that they are the chosen one.

But only now has Nagato realized that he was not the reincarnation of the Sage of Six Paths, nor was he a child of prophecy; he was merely a pawn.

He was a poor guy who was kept in the dark.

Ha ha.

Thinking of this, Nagato laughed again, but this time it was no longer a self-deprecating laugh, but a cold laugh.

It's a pity that the elaborate deception orchestrated by Madara Uchiha and Obito was inadvertently exposed by him, their pawn. Since that's the case, let them taste the bitter fruit of their own actions.

At that moment, Nagato remembered what the White Snake Sage had once told him: the philosophy of Ryuchi Cave is to hunt and plunder, swallowing other creatures and absorbing their life energy to strengthen themselves. If this continues, the snakes crawling on the ground will one day grow horns and become dragons soaring in the sky.

So from today onwards, these Rinnegan eyes belong to him alone, and no one can take them away.

He wants to use these eyes to transform himself into a dragon!

Nagato left the mirror and went to the huge floor-to-ceiling window, looking out.

His original plan was to first defeat Jiraiya, then kill Kisame, and finally unify the ninja world in one fell swoop. But the great battle three days ago made him realize that his current strength was not enough.

He needs time.

Nagato could sense that his use of the Rinnegan's abilities was currently at a relatively superficial stage. These eyes still held enormous potential.

Once he can fully develop the power of the Rinnegan, defeating Kisame Hoshigaki or Jiraiya will become an easy task.

Until then, let's be patient and endure for a while longer.

Of course, Nagato's forbearance only meant not taking action against Konoha or Kirigakure. As for forces like Sunagakure, they were already on his elimination list and had to be eradicated.

Three more days passed.

The Land of Wind, Sunagakure Village.

Led by Chiyo, thousands of Sand Village ninjas gathered densely in front of the Kazekage Building in the center of the village, each one looking as if facing a formidable enemy, their eyes fixed on the sky.

Nagato floated dozens of meters above the ground, his eyes indifferently looking down at the Sand Village ninja below.

He came alone, and that's enough.

"Today is the day the Sand Village will perish. This is the price you must pay as invaders."

Nagato spoke coldly, like an emotionless god, delivering his verdict to the people of Sunagakure. His voice echoed throughout the village.

"Prepare for battle!"

Chiyo gave a sharp shout to bolster morale. She immediately took out several scrolls and summoned several human puppets, intending to fight Nagato to the death and protect Sunagakure with her life.

"Avenge Lord Kazekage!"

"There's only one enemy, what's there to be afraid of? Kill him, and then we'll march back to Amegakure!"

The other Sand Village ninjas also shouted, drawing their weapons with high morale.

However, to their surprise, Nagato did not rush towards the Sunagakure group. Instead, he moved away from them and flew into the sky.

"Is that guy scared?"

"Haha, he was intimidated by our imposing presence and is preparing to flee."

Seeing Nagato leave, the Sand Village members assumed the battle was over and began celebrating their victory.

Only a few high-ranking members of Sunagakure, such as Chiyo, frowned, a sense of foreboding creeping into their hearts.

"Ebizo, have the Kazekage's widow and children been taken to a safe place?" Chiyo asked her younger brother, Ebizo, who was also one of the high-ranking advisors of Sunagakure.

"Yes, under the protection of the secret service, they have left the village and safely reached the evacuation point," Ebizo nodded in reply.

Before the battle began, the Sunagakure leadership had already planned their escape route, sending Karura, Kankuro, Temari, and other women and children out of the village in advance.

The purpose was to preserve the flame of Sunagakure.

at this time.

Nagato had already reached a height of 100 meters. From this height, the Sand Village members on the ground looked as tiny as a group of ants.

That is indeed the case.

"Let's start with Sunagakure. The five great ninja villages and the five great nations behind them have been arrogant for too long. You use small countries and ninja villages as chessboards, waging wars at will, without caring about the lives of the people living on those lands. Today, I will make you feel the pain that my parents and orphans like me have suffered."

Nagato muttered to himself, his gaze growing colder, the fire of hatred burning fiercely within him.

The next second, he slowly opened his arms, looking down at the earth like a god, and then uttered those four words again:

"Divine Conquest!"

buzzing.

An overwhelming repulsive force surged from Nagato's body and instantly reached the Sand Village below.

The Shinra Tensei he used this time was different from his usual "small-scale" attacks. It was a terrifying technique that required draining all the chakra in his body at once and even consuming a certain amount of his lifespan to be used.

As for its power, it can only be described as earth-shattering.

Ok?

Chiyo and the others on the ground suddenly felt an invisible force descend upon them, enveloping them.

next moment.

Boom!

The Kazekage Building in the center of Sunagakure was as if trampled by an invisible giant's foot, instantly turning into dust and disappearing completely.

Then, a giant circular crater appeared centered on the Fengying Building, and it spread rapidly in all directions.

The first to be affected were the Sand Village ninja, including Chiyo.

"Ahhh!"

Amidst a chorus of screams, the people were all thrown backward by the repulsive force, crashing into roadside buildings, utility poles, and pillars, sustaining serious injuries.

Before they could even get up, all the buildings on the street collapsed with a deafening roar, burying the Sand Village ninja in the ruins.

No one was spared.

From high above, looking down from Nagato's perspective.

In just a few seconds, the entire Sand Village was plowed through by Shinra Tensei, everything was destroyed. Dust billowed into the sky, shrouding the surrounding area for a long time.

"Heh, heh..."

Nagato was panting heavily, sweat streaming down his face. He had become much thinner in the blink of an eye, as if he had been completely drained by something.

In fact, he didn't need to go to such great lengths or take such risks to destroy Sunagakure.

But Nagato wanted to use this most shocking method to make other great ninja villages and nations live in constant fear and unease after seeing it.

That was his goal.

The billowing dust gradually settled. The appearance of Sunagakure was once again revealed to the world.

Sunagakure no more.

As one of the five great ninja villages, Sunagakure now seems to have vanished into thin air, leaving only a large crater several kilometers in diameter.

Chiyo, Ebizo, and thousands of other Sand Village ninjas were permanently buried deep in the crater. As for how many of them would survive this catastrophe, that was up to fate.

It seemed as if Sunagakure had been struck by a giant meteorite falling from the sky, resulting in the annihilation of the village.

However, in reality, this tragedy was not a natural disaster, but a man-made one.

In the distance, several ninjas from Amegakure stood on high ground, set up cameras, and captured the entire process of Sunagakure being destroyed by Nagato with clear and complete images.

"I can't wait to see the amazing expressions on the faces of the Kage from other ninja villages and the Daimyo from various countries when they see this video."

One of the Rain Ninjas chuckled, while the others looked excited as well.

"The leader is here!" someone shouted. Several people immediately knelt down, bowed their heads, and respectfully welcomed Nagato who had descended from the sky.

"Was it all recorded?"

Nagato asked casually, and after receiving an affirmative answer, he instructed, "Make a few copies and send them to the major ninja villages. Tell them it's my greeting to them."
