Naruto: I'm really not an evil scientist!

He began to reflect: in this ninja world, can lasting peace truly be brought about by relying solely on the so-called Will of Fire and the moral constraints of ninjas?

The answer is obviously no.

Those in power, in their struggle for interests, have not hesitated to wage war, causing the loss of countless innocent lives.

Therefore, Shisui had already changed his mind.

He still loves Konoha, the place where he grew up, and his eternal home.

But like Itachi, if he had to choose between his younger brother and the village, he would still choose his younger brother.

Because he knew very well that his younger brother was his last source of warmth and connection in this cold world.

Now, Shisui is determined to create a real "nuclear deterrent" on Earth and hang it over everyone's heads.

He wanted to make those who truly held power and sought to start wars feel the threat of death.

In his view, only by possessing truly high-yield weapons can a sufficiently powerful deterrent be formed, making the entire ninja world wary and thus deterring them from easily launching a war.

This idea might seem extreme to others, but for Shisui, who had endured countless hardships and betrayals, it was the only way he could think of to protect those he cherished and bring true peace to the ninja world.

At that moment, Pain and the others were watching the touching scene of Itachi and his brother's reunion, their faces as gloomy as the sky before a storm.

They seemed to want to say something to Itachi, but hesitated, and something had happened to the main body; the situation was not good.

Just then, Konan, who had been guarding Nagato's main body, suddenly heard a loud roar.

On an oasis not far from the battlefield, a seemingly ordinary tree was blasted apart by a red-haired woman with a diamond-shaped mark on her forehead.

The tree instantly turned into countless fragments, scattering in all directions. The trunk was snapped in half, revealing Nagato and Konan hiding inside.

"I've found you," Mito Uzumaki said calmly.

During this time, Mito Uzumaki, as Tsunade's grandmother, naturally enjoyed the highest level of hospitality within Hiruko's faction.

Furthermore, the series of medical ninjutsu that Tsunade taught her, which had been modified by Hiruko, were not hidden from Mito Uzumaki, and Mito naturally learned them all.

As the most orthodox Uzumaki clan, and possessing a profound foundation in developing powerful ninjutsu, Mito Uzumaki mastered the techniques that Sakura had found extremely difficult to learn after only listening to them a few times.

Mito learned the head-on ninjutsu the fastest, especially the one that Tsunade improved, which allowed one to maintain youth as long as they had enough chakra.

As for Hiruko's Sage Mode version of the Yin Seal, Mito has not yet mastered it because she does not know Sage Mode.

"How did you find your way here?" Konan asked warily, collapsing directly in front of the crippled Nagato.

Her God Paper Technique, even when used as a disguise, is difficult for the Mangekyou Sharingan to see through, yet it was easily seen through by this young female ninja she had never seen before, which puzzled her greatly.

"I am just an ordinary Konoha ninja. As for why I was able to find this place, it is naturally because I was attracted by your deep-seated malice."

Looking at Nagato's decaying and crippled state, Mito Uzumaki, to be honest, felt somewhat complicated emotions.

This is a pitiful child, whose every move is manipulated by Madara Uchiha.

"You're from the Uzumaki clan? I see. No wonder you have such strong sensory abilities and such a huge amount of chakra."

"I heard that Hashirama Senju, the founder of Konoha, had a wife who was the first Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, and she was a member of the Uzumaki clan."

"It seems you've inherited her unique sensory abilities too." Nagato frowned, and upon seeing Mito's vibrant red hair, she immediately understood that the hair, identical to her own, clearly belonged to one of her clansmen.

"Now that you've found this place, you should be prepared to die." Nagato had no feelings for the Uzumaki clan, which was related to his upbringing.

His father was a ninja from the Land of Rain, and his mother was an ordinary Uzumaki clan member who had drifted to the Land of Rain; they could only be considered a commoner family.

However, his parents died in the war at a young age, killed by Konoha ninjas who broke into their house in the middle of the night to search for supplies, so he became an orphan at a very young age.

For him, the only people he could call family were Konan, Jiraiya, and a few others.

Now that he's even going to kill Jiraiya, how could he possibly care about his clansmen whom he's never met?

However, Mito Uzumaki did not want to fight.

She took out a sealing scroll and said, "I didn't come here to fight you."

As Mito freed himself, a pile of comics scattered from the spot, and Mito simply raised his hand and threw them all over.

Mito Uzumaki remained calm, her eyes filled with earnestness, and slowly began to speak: "Nagato, I have no intention of fighting you. I only hope that you can calm down and listen to this story."

If, after hearing this, you still insist on taking my life, then I will certainly fight to the bitter end.

She paused slightly.

Mito Uzumaki, the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki who was famous throughout the ninja world, possessed extraordinary abilities. She could move things at will and her sealing techniques were masterful.

In her view, rather than engaging in pointless fighting and increasing casualties, it would be better for both sides to calm down and see if this story could bring new insights and opportunities for protecting the ninja world.

After all, the Naruto manga wasn't a secret to any of them.

Nagato's expression was cold and his eyes showed impatience. He seemed unwilling to listen to this long story and only wanted to take action and solve the problem with force.

Seeing this, Mito Uzumaki patiently advised, "Nagato, hold on. After reading this story, you will definitely gain something, and it may even change your current thoughts."

In truth, deep down she didn't want to fight this ill-fated member of her tribe.

She was well-versed in the secrets of the Naruto world and naturally knew about Nagato, the leader of the Akatsuki organization, and Konan, a core member.

Although she wasn't sure she could defeat Nagato, she believed that with her extensive combat experience and excellent adaptability, she could easily hold him off for a while.

When the time comes, he can call on his comrades for support. With the Fourth Hokage's lightning speed and exquisite ninjutsu, dealing with Nagato, who is immobile and affected by the side effects of the Rinnegan, will not be difficult.

Unless they go completely berserk and recklessly summon the remaining power of the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki, causing a massive disaster, dealing with Nagato shouldn't be too difficult.

However, the Akatsuki girl next to her, Konan, is worth noting.

According to the information recorded in Hiruko's novel, he was a terrorist who could produce 600 billion explosive tags. Once his explosive tag array was deployed, its power was enough to destroy a large ninja village.

If she really did set a trap here, even if Minato and Mito joined forces, they might not be a match for this meticulous person.

Moreover, her God Paper Technique is extremely troublesome, as it allows her to transform her body into countless pieces of paper, freely traversing through space.

Unless her chakra is completely depleted, this flying opponent who is immune to ordinary attacks is really difficult to deal with. She is like a venomous snake lurking in the shadows, ready to strike at any moment.

“Nagato, why don’t you take a look?” Konan suddenly said, her voice soft yet firm.

She has always silently supported her comrades, and has always stood firmly by Nagato's side in all the Akatsuki's actions.

But this does not mean that she had no feelings for Jiraiya, her teacher who was like a father to her.

Jiraiya had given her warmth and care, taught her ninjutsu, and shown her the vastness of the ninja world.

If she could, she wouldn't want to be enemies with her teacher, much less kill him and burden Nagato with the heavy sin of murdering his teacher.

She only hoped that this so-called Nagato clansman was truly well-prepared and could bring about a turning point, preventing the ninja world from falling into endless strife and suffering.

In the Amegakure storyline, when Jiraiya infiltrated Amegakure, Konan showed no fighting spirit when facing him.

Although her paper-based ninjutsu was somewhat effective against Jiraiya's ninjutsu, Konan genuinely didn't want to fight Jiraiya at that time.

She was filled with contradictions and struggles. Facing her once-respected teacher, she found it difficult to bring herself to kill him, so she left after only exchanging a few words with him.

In the end, it was Nagato who truly dealt Jiraiya a fatal blow.

Chapter 193 The Ultimate Life Form, Hiruko!

Nagato looked at his only remaining important companion, Konan, a hint of helplessness flashing in his eyes, but he ultimately agreed.

He thought to himself, if Konan doesn't want to fight, then this operation to capture the tailed beast is probably already ruined.

After all, Konan plays a crucial role in the Akatsuki organization; her wisdom and strength are indispensable.

Since Xiao Nan doesn't want to take action, then let's just forget about it.

He wasn't worried that the Konoha ninjas would suddenly attack, since even if Nagato's main body met with misfortune, he could still release his Six Paths clones at crucial moments and use their powerful strength to turn the tide of battle.

Moreover, the animal realm is still on the outer edge, allowing him to instantly escape through counter-spiritual communication.

Alternatively, they could release several flying puppets to fly away. These puppets, after careful modification, possess powerful combat capabilities and flight abilities, and can protect them during evacuation at critical moments.

She can also release a few puppets to kill the opponents in this battle. After all, the puppets' abilities are not unusable by the main body. At worst, Konan can just fly away with the Jinchuriki. As long as the green hills remain, there will always be firewood to burn.

There's also the mechanical puppet ability of the Asura Path. Don't be fooled by his current emaciated and sickly appearance, which looks like he could be blown away by a gust of wind.

However, he can directly use the abilities of the Asura Path to modify his entire body, replacing each part with a sophisticated mechanical device, so mobility is not a problem at all.

He is like a fighting machine hidden under a worn-out shell; once unleashed, he will display astonishing combat power.

However, it requires the user to become a cyborg, a painful process that grants him greater power.

Once airborne, it can even use the Asura Cannon, a powerful energy cannon capable of firing a powerful chakra beam, easily capable of hitting the people of Konoha.

In the game, this light cannon is so powerful that it can directly pierce through the Earth-Shattering Star, making it quite impressive.

In the anime, although Naruto and Killer Bee's attack was saved by Itachi before it could be launched, this was enough to demonstrate the powerful potential and threat of the Asura Path technique.

In short, never assume that Nagato's main body is the most vulnerable part just because you see him.

In fact, Nagato himself could definitely participate in team battles here.

Konan possesses the God Paper Technique, which, when she has enough chakra to perform elemental transformation, does not possess any physical or elemental attack characteristics.

She took the item that Mito Uzumaki threw to her, kicked the door shut to check it, and only handed it to Nagato after confirming that there was nothing wrong with it.

When Nagato saw "Naruto" on the cover, he couldn't help but frown. After all, "Naruto" was both the name of Naruto Uzumaki and the protagonist of Jiraiya's novel.

He thought to himself that he was already in such a state, yet the ninjas of Konoha were still thinking of reforming him.

Nagato sneered inwardly, wanting to see what the Konoha ninjas were really up to.

While we're reading the comic, on the other side of Mount Sumeru, a solar eclipse, neither rare nor common, is about to take place, and everything seems to be ready.

Hiruko sat upright in the center of the throne with the five stars facing the sky, quietly awaiting the moment of purification.

Finally, the moment arrived, and Hiruko's emotions calmed down. He calmly watched as the sky was gradually enveloped in darkness, forming a golden ring.

The peculiar dark golden light fell directly onto himself in the center of the throne.

Sensing the special energy emanating from the annular solar eclipse, Hiruko knew his time had come. He clasped his hands together, and five different colored rays of light fell from the skylight onto the offerings that had already been laid out.

Instantly, deep purple chakra appeared on the offering, completely enveloping it.

Hiruko then absorbed all of this chakra into his body at once.

Unlike the fleshy tentacles that appeared when Hiruko used the Demon Fang Technique in the movie, he is now more like devouring and fusing with the tailed beast's chakra.

Driven by the guiding force, his entire body and even his soul began to transform, as if he were merging with some mysterious power.

The unique terrain of Mount Sumeru transformed the ominous light of the solar eclipse into a more mysterious energy, stabilizing Hiruko's body while acting as a catalyst to accelerate his continuous evolution.
