Naruto: Sasuke Uchiha Returns from Soul Society

“I know that.” Sasuke looked at him. “We’ve fought before, and I’ve figured out his weaknesses.”

Do you have any other information?

"The others..."

Nagato pondered for a moment, seemingly trying to recall details from his memory.

"Oh right, he mentioned it once, unintentionally."

"He said he also wanted to change the order of the ninja world and create a world without conflict or hypocrisy, only peace."

"Although his methods were extreme, I could sense that his despair for the world was real."

Sasuke nodded thoughtfully.

despair......

Change the order...

Ten-Tails Jinchuriki...

This is further combined with the fact that Obito also possessed the Mangekyou Sharingan.

The most likely possibility is...

"He also saw that stone tablet."

Sasuke sneered inwardly.

"Deceived by the lies on the stone tablet, wanting to activate the Infinite Tsukuyomi to pursue that false peace that only exists in dreams?"

How sad.

Another Uchiha man manipulated by fate, living a life of lies.

Sasuke didn't say anything, and raised his right hand.

In the palm of his hand, a warm and vibrant golden chakra quietly condensed.

"Bear with it."

Sasuke casually offered a reminder, then gently placed the golden hand on Nagato's chest.

"Ugh...!"

Nagato's body trembled violently as an unprecedented warm current surged through Sasuke's palm and into his long-dried and depleted meridians.

That's more than just a replenishment of chakra.

It was more like a timely rain after a long drought, nourishing every cell on the verge of death and awakening his long-dormant vitality.

Nagato's pupils dilated slightly as he incredulously sensed the changes within his body.

The excruciating pain that had been caused by long-term overexertion of life began to gradually subside under the wash of this warm current.

That heart, which had long been overburdened, regained its strength.

"This is......"

Nagato looked up, staring at Sasuke in shock.

He could feel that the power flowing through his body was completely different from any kind of chakra he was familiar with.

It is pure, warm, and full of vibrant life.

It's like a personification of life itself.

"Don't speak."

Sasuke didn't explain. His golden Rinnegan glowed slightly, guiding the power to circulate within Nagato's body, repairing his irreversible damage.

Time is passing by, second by second.

A trace of color gradually returned to Nagato's face.

Even her once gray hair, which was as white as withered grass, regained some of its former bright red luster.

"call......"

Sasuke withdrew his hand. Although he had only transferred a portion of his chakra, it was already the limit for Nagato's battered body.

Too much would be counterproductive.

Chapter 227 Stop yelling, Raikage

Nagato sat there, staring blankly at her hands.

Although it is far from being restored to its peak, this body is no longer an empty shell that can only rely on external forces to maintain its life.

"Why did you have to go to such lengths..." Nagato looked up at Sasuke with a complicated expression.

“I’ve already said it.” Sasuke glanced at him indifferently, his voice flat. “You are my power now.”

"I don't like using tools that are bound to break down at any time."

"......Yeah."

Nagato gave a bitter smile, his gaze hardening.

Now that I've made my choice to follow this young man and witness the arrival of that new era, I can no longer be a useless person hiding in this dark corner.

"Click".

A soft sound.

Nagato reached out and grasped the nutrient delivery tube connected to his back.

That was once the lifeline that sustained him, but it was also a shackle that imprisoned him here.

But now...

"It's time for me to move on."

Nagato muttered to himself, then suddenly exerted force with his hand.

He ripped the thick pipe off, and some residual nutrient solution gushed out from the break.

Without the support of the pipeline, Nagato's body swayed violently, and he almost fell over.

Those legs, which had long since atrophied, began to tremble and exert force on the ground.

"Nagato!"

Seeing this, Xiao Nan instinctively went to help.

Sasuke raised his hand to stop her.

"Let him do it himself."

Finally, amidst the trembling, Nagato's body gradually straightened, eventually standing firmly on the solid ground.

"..."

Nagato looked down at her feet, then glanced around the secret chamber, a sense of déjà vu flashing in her eyes.

"Finally, I can stand on the ground again with these feet."

Konan covered her mouth, her eyes brimming with tears, and choked out, "Nagato..."

"Don't cry, Konan." Nagato turned around, a gentle smile on her face. "We still have a long way to go."

He stretched his newly rejuvenated body, then turned his gaze to Sasuke at the door, his expression turning serious.

"Sasuke, what are your plans next?"

"Although the Akatsuki's strength has been damaged, the remaining members, if they can be integrated, will still be a force to be reckoned with."

Nagato paused for a moment, then offered a suggestion, "Should I gather them together and put them to your use?"

Sasuke didn't turn around, but simply said, "You can handle those trivial matters."

"Reorganize Xiao, eliminate the useless and waste, and keep the valuable ones."

"Then, await my orders at any time."

"And what about you?" Nagato pressed. "Where are you going?"

Sasuke stopped at the doorway, turned his head, and gazed towards the distant north.

"The Land of Iron".

"The Land of Iron?"

Nagato was taken aback, then realized what he meant, his brows furrowing slightly. "The Five Kage Summit?"

"What are you going there for? To disrupt the meeting? Or...?"

Nagato's expression turned serious. "You want to declare war on the Five Great Nations there?"

"Declare war? Perhaps."

Sasuke shook his head, a cold smile playing on his lips. "I'll go tell them first that a new era is about to begin."

"Prepare them to comply, or..."

"die."

Nagato silently watched Sasuke's resolute back, a strange sense of anticipation creeping into his heart.

"Oh, right."

Nagato seemed to remember something and tentatively asked, "What do you plan to do with the Gedo Mazo?"

"Since you're also collecting tailed beasts, you must be planning to become the Ten-Tails' jinchūriki, right?"

In his view, this was the obvious choice.

To possess the power to overturn the world, becoming the Ten-Tails' Jinchūriki is undoubtedly the safest path.

Moreover, with Sasuke's current strength and those eyes, he is fully qualified to control that power.

"Let's leave it for now," Sasuke said casually.

"What?" Nagato was stunned, thinking he had misheard.

That's a ten-tailed beast!
