Naruto: I'm really not an evil scientist!

Moreover, his main body is currently covered by White Zetsu, whose life force can provide him with a lot of assistance, making the damage to his body almost negligible.

It is considered extremely powerful.

Chapter 146 Verbal Battle!

His support abilities make him more adept at combat.

"Did this bastard hold back last time?" Jiraiya was prepared, but he was still shaken by the force and his whole body ached, as if his bones were about to fall apart.

However, he forced himself to stand up despite the pain and shouted, "Proceed according to the previous plan!"

Although he didn't know why Yahiko possessed Nagato's Rinnegan, he couldn't ignore such obvious hostility at this moment.

Seeing his disciple go astray, as a teacher, he naturally couldn't sit idly by.

After Jiraiya finished speaking, he quickly took his place in formation with the others.

Then, both teams simultaneously formed hand seals and unleashed their ninjutsu.

The Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique was combined with the Wind Release: Great Breakthrough Technique, using the wind to fuel the fire and creating a blazing sea of ​​flames that hurtled towards Nagato.

Earth Release: Earth Flow Wall rose up in front of them as a defense to protect themselves.

On the other side, armed with kunai, shuriken, and other weapons, along with various escape techniques, they continued to attack Nagato.

Nagato, who can flexibly dodge attacks, completely blocks all possible hiding places that the enemy could use.

The immense repulsive force of Shinra Tensei struck once more, deflecting and destroying anything that came towards it.

The three arrived at that moment.

They immediately imbued their feet with chakra, gripping the ground tightly to stabilize themselves.

Once the impact of the strong wind subsided, the three immediately launched their attack.

The Inuzuka clan unleashed Fang Over Fang, while another Konoha Jonin used Crescent Moon Dance, transforming into two whirlwind-like figures that charged towards Nagato.

Shinra Tensei cannot be used indefinitely; it has a cooldown period.

During the brief moment when Nagato was unable to use Shinra Tensei, he raised his hand and unleashed Bansho Ten'in on the ground, the terrifying gravity pulling up a giant rock.

This situation was observed by the Konoha ninjas in the distance, their eyes filled with solemnity as they confirmed that there had been a time interval between the attacks that had just been deflected.

Otherwise, facing a three-on-one attack, Nagato would have had no need to use this method to defend against Kiba's attack.

The Fang-Tooth attack came crashing down, and the sudden appearance of the boulder slowed down the speed of the Crescent Moon Dance's thrust.

At that moment, Nagato leaped high into the air, dodging the attack from the Inuzuka clan's Jonin.

The other two ninjas also seized the opportunity, leaping high into the air and charging towards Nagato.

They underestimated the strength of Nagato's Heavenly Path clone.

Nagato flicked his hands, and several black iron rods shot out from his hands, attacking the two of them.

The two men brandished their weapons to defend themselves, and the clanging sounds of their weapons clashing filled the air.

Just as they blocked the iron bar, they saw Nagato raise his hand again, and the immense repulsive force of Shinra Tensei struck again, sending the three Konoha ninja flying.

This time, because they were so close, the repulsive force acted like a heavy hammer, slamming them hard into the ground.

In an instant, the two were smashed into bloody foam, which scattered in all directions.

Hearing the wind, Nagato severely injured several Konoha ninjas, then conjured black rods in his hands again and hurled them at the Konoha ninjas in the distance.

Before Moonlight and Ryusei could react, the black rod pierced their abdomens as soon as they straightened up.

In the distance, White Zetsu and Obito only revealed themselves when the Konoha ninjas were surrounded.

Obito stepped out of the Kamui dimension, leaned against a tree, and observed the situation before him.

Black Zetsu then emerged from the tree trunk.

"Tsk, Nagato's proficiency with the Rinnegan has improved remarkably fast. He only summoned the Gedo Mazo not long ago, yet he's already wielding the power of the Deva Path so skillfully," Black Zetsu remarked in amazement.

"Moreover, with the help of White Zetsu and the others, it seems that this group of Konoha ninjas will have a hard time taking down Nagato, and may even have to lose a number of Konoha ninjas, which would greatly weaken Konoha's ninja strength."

"This was even before Nagato was fully prepared. The Sage of Six Paths' Rinnegan is truly terrifying."

Obito was taught the Six Paths Technique and Yin-Yang Release by Madara Uchiha, and later taught Nagato how to use the Rinnegan skillfully.

Nagato gradually figured out the power of the Rinnegan, and the abilities of the Six Paths clones were shared.

He has mastered the large-scale summoning techniques of the Six Paths of Pain and the firepower modification abilities of the Asura Path.

"If our own bodies are fine, with the power we gain from mastering the Rinnegan, we could probably beat all the ninjas from the five great nations combined."

“Every ability of the Rinnegan is exceptionally difficult to deal with,” Obito remarked.

“However, it seems that the Konoha ninjas are testing Nagato’s abilities. They have almost figured out all the abilities of the Deva Path clone. Is that alright?” White Zetsu asked.

"Let him do it. As long as he doesn't die, he can be used by us. Besides, the real thing is his main body, not his clone."

"Even if we lose one clone, we can just make another one later," Obito said calmly as he observed.

"The more seriously injured a Konoha ninja is, the more dependent Nagato will become on us, and it's also good for him to become more familiar with combat."

Nagato has now mastered the Six Paths' abilities, but he probably still doesn't know how to use the Outer Path: Samsara of Heavenly Life Technique.

However, with the Rinnegan, even if Nagato fails, Black Zetsu can still control the situation by responding to the talismans within him.

He directly used the Samsara Rebirth Technique to revive Madara Uchiha.

Although the plan may change, this is a last resort.

If Madara Uchiha is resurrected, no one in the world will be his match.

Once he has collected all the tailed beasts...

On the other side, Konoha.

"Oh, Lord Danzo, you've finally decided to return to the village." At the entrance of Konoha Village, Hiruko looked at Danzo with a hint of regret in her voice.

Surprisingly, this guy is still alive after being severely beaten by Nagato.

However, judging from his miserable appearance, the Sharingan on his arm must have been greatly depleted.

The Uchiha clan has not yet been wiped out. Although Danzo has cooperated with Orochimaru, he does not have many Sharingan eyes.

It was nothing short of a miracle that he managed to escape from Nagato's clutches.

Almost all of Danzo's ninjas died at Nagato's hands. It must have been those ninjas who bought him time; otherwise, the old man would never have been able to escape.

Then Hiruko waved his hand, and the Root ninjas behind him immediately stepped forward and surrounded the twenty-odd ninjas behind Danzo, preparing to capture Danzo and even intending to use sealing techniques.

Several Sarutobi clan ninjas, seeing this, protested, "What are you doing?"

"We are Konoha ninjas! How dare you attack Konoha ninjas so casually!"

"Heh, without the Hokage's orders, you left the village and caused a lot of trouble for it, and now you dare to resist!" Hiruko didn't mince words with them and gave the order directly.

"Anyone who dares to resist will be killed on the spot!" Upon hearing Hiruko's murderous words, the Sarutobi clan ninjas immediately felt a terrifying killing intent rushing towards them, and broke out in a cold sweat.

The ANBU ninjas acted swiftly, sealing each of them once before throwing them into prison.

Seeing that Danzo hadn't uttered a single word from beginning to end, Hiruko found it rather boring and ordered them to be taken away.

When Hiruko returned to the Hokage Building, he saw Hiruzen Sarutobi walking out of it. Hiruzen looked rather unwell, probably because he had not achieved his goal.

"Sandaime!"

"You go ahead with your work, I have something to do so I'll head back now." Hiruzen Sarutobi forced a smile, then turned and left.

He was very worried that his prestige was declining and that if he didn't try to save his old friend, he might never have another chance.

Upon arriving at the Hokage's office, Minato Namikaze asked, "The person is back already?"

"Hmm, they're probably just sitting comfortably in the Sealing Squad prison right now."

"Prison?" Minato Namikaze stopped organizing his documents and asked hesitantly.

"Isn't this a bit inappropriate?"

"He's just an ordinary ninja. He caused so much trouble for the village before. It's already quite generous of us not to send him to the interrogation room," Hiruko said, shaking his head.

"Moreover, Danzo originally planned to rebuild Root in the Land of Hot Springs, but he interrupted the plan because he lost a lot of manpower in the battle of Amegakure."

"He keeps saying that everything he does is for Konoha... but is it really for Konoha?"

Minato Namikaze frowned. This was the first time he had heard of such a thing. If it was true, then this charge was really unacceptable. He suggested that the interrogation team question his subordinates.

Do not go too far; you must unseal the seal that severs the root of tongue-related calamities.

Establishing a base outside must have required a lot of preparation.

Hiruko pondered for a moment, then asked, "Fourth Hokage, what did the Third Hokage want with you just now?"

"He wanted me to lift the restrictions on Danzo and his men, but I refused."

"Let's not talk about that. These days, more and more people are applying to move into Konoha, and the village is almost full. Let's talk about the expansion of the new residential area."

Minato Namikaze shook his head, then took out a plan and said, "This is the plan you proposed before. I plan to take back the entire 1,000 square meter area and convert 50% to 60% of it into residential buildings."

"At the same time, several residential and commercial areas will be built above the Fire Shadow Rock, so that it can accommodate 100,000 people at the same time."

This plan is essentially bringing forward the plans that were supposed to be developed later in "Boruto".

The site, originally intended as a ninja training ground, could have been built much further away, since ninjas could easily run any distance with their speed.

The two then discussed the matter in more detail.

Minato Namikaze stated that once the applicants have been thoroughly investigated, some of them will naturally be welcomed into the village.

A large portion of the village's fiscal revenue comes from commercial taxes; the more people there are, the more prosperous the commerce becomes, and the more revenue there is.

Once everything is agreed upon, the construction team can move in. However, we'll need to trouble Barrier Band to redo the barrier next.

Fortunately, the security forces have begun to deploy surveillance on a large scale, making patrols much easier than before.

On the other side, the battle in Amegakure lasted for a long time, with Konoha ninja suffering heavy casualties and corpses piling up like mountains. Even Pain, controlled by Nagato, was almost destroyed.

However, just as Jiraiya and the others relaxed their guard, Nagato's true form reappeared on the battlefield, instantly plunging them into another fierce battle.

However, Jiraiya and the others had already basically figured out the information about the Six Paths of Pain.

Although they might find it difficult to defeat Pain, they wouldn't be easily defeated by other Pains. They had already mastered the five-second interval between Shinra Tensei.
