Nagato was suddenly awakened by the dense sound of breaking air.

Looking at the purple-haired girl sobbing in pain beside him, a cold look flashed in Nagato's eyes.

He raised his palm to meet the shurikens whistling in the sky.

"Shinra Tenzheng!"

The irresistible repulsive force erupted violently, sending all the projectiles flying.

But one figure after another was rapidly approaching not far in front of Nagato, which was already within the attack range of ordinary ninjutsu.

Colorful ninjutsu came through the air, and Nagato, who had just recovered from his sorrow, was shocked because his Shinra Tensei was cooling down.

boom!

Ninjutsu of different attributes converged and exploded in the air. Lights of various colors instantly enveloped and engulfed Nagato and the other two.

A figure rushed out, holding the bodies of Konan and Yahiko in his arms, and landed on the ground in a somewhat embarrassed manner. Only then did Nagato finally regain the calmness that a ninja should have.

"Konoha's Anbu..."

He recognized the ninja forehead protectors and the iconic animal masks those people wore.

This added a hint of blood color to his pair of reincarnation eyes.

Countless ninjas rushed towards him.

Drops of cold rain trickled down from Nagato's thin chin. He stood there expressionless and silent, but a terrifying chakra wave suddenly burst out from his body.

The fierce aura emanated through the layers of rain, blowing Nagato's clothes and making his long red hair flutter. The whites of his eyes were already covered in blood!

With a ferocious look on his face, Nagato formed seals with his hands, then slapped the ground with his palms quickly.

"Psychic art!"

The next moment, a monster, emitting an aura of age, emerged from the ground. Its body was the color of dead wood, and ten pillars sprang from its back. It had a human head, a gigantic humanoid form, and nine eyes.

It was actually the body of the Ten-Tails with its chakra extracted!

However, as the body of the Ten-Tails, it still possesses super strong vitality.

The moment its figure was revealed, the golem raised its head and let out a deafening roar. Invisible waves were like a strong wind, creating a layer of energy fluctuations visible to the naked eye in this world.

Dozens of Root Ninjas were instantly blown away by this energy wave.

After seeing this scene, Hanzo the Salamander, who was farther away, lost all hope. He looked at the red-haired young man with complicated eyes, then turned around and left quickly without looking back. After a few leaps, he quickly disappeared into the canyon.

......

"What it is?!"

"Why can we be blown away without any resistance just by the momentum?"

Even these inhumane Root ninjas were horrified. They had never encountered such a terrifying creature before. Just a roar and the momentum it released was enough to make these elite ninjas unable to resist.

"This! This is even scarier than the Nine-Tailed Fox!"

A Root ninja stammered.

Hiding behind the Root ninja was a middle-aged ninja with a sinister look on his face.

He had brown hair cut neatly into sideburns, narrow, slender eyes, and a face with wrinkles as deep as those of a century-old tree. He was of medium build and had a gloomy demeanor.

It was none other than the Root leader – Danzo Shimura!

"What a terrifying aura! How could there be such a terrifying monster?"

Danzo was secretly shocked and glanced at the place where Hanzo of the Salamander had been before, but it was already empty.

"What a cunning old fellow!"

He cursed in his heart, and then began to slowly retreat.

Faced with such a terrifying monster, even a demigod and a powerful ninja like him felt helpless!

......

The next moment, they saw that the red-haired young man who summoned the huge monster had dozens of long black spikes stuck in his back.

There are many Root Ninjas among these who possess rare perception abilities, and their faces changed drastically at this moment.

They could sense the terrifying chakra within the other party being rapidly absorbed by the monster through the black spikes. Meanwhile, the aura and state emanating from the wooden giant continued to expand at an even more alarming rate!

In an instant, the huge monster opened its mouth and spit out a pale purple chakra dragon.

With lightning speed, the purple dragon instantly devoured the two closest Root ninjas in the field.

The two Root ninjas, unable to dodge, felt their bodies lighten as they were swept up into the air by the giant purple dragon. Immediately afterwards, the chakra in their bodies surged toward their bodies like water, actually devouring their chakra!

Before they could get shocked and speak out to remind their teammates about the ability and characteristics of this technique, they felt their vision go dark, and the next moment their consciousness was completely wiped out, and their bodies fell to the ground below like a rag bag.

Seeing this, Danzo Shimura no longer hesitated. He abandoned all his men as bait and fled quickly.

If he was not mistaken, any creature touched by the purple dragon would not only have its chakra drained, but would also have its soul sucked away!

After a moment of daze, the remaining Root ninja in the field trembled, and their hearts were filled with fear. They lost all their will to fight and turned around to escape.

They fled separately, and the purple dragon was unable to split itself, so the hope of survival seemed to be right in front of them.

But just as the figure gradually disappeared, these Root ninjas who were scattered far away heard an extremely cold whisper in their ears.

"Wanxiangtianyin!"

Not long after,

The only sounds left in this space were screams of extreme terror.

......

Chapter 358 The Quietly Developing Plot

There was a dead silence in the canyon. A huge puff of white smoke suddenly rose in the air, and the ferocious humanoid beast suddenly disappeared.

The black stick behind Nagato slowly dissipated, and at this moment he felt that he had never been so relaxed.

Although tired, I feel relaxed.

His body shook violently, and the next moment he fell to the ground.

Not far away, Konan, who looked terrified, changed his expression, but still suppressed his fear and ran over to help Nagato up, resting his head on his thighs.

She turned Nagato over and made him lie flat, but she found that he was sweating profusely, his face was distorted, and he looked a little ferocious.

Xiaonan felt a pain in his heart, knowing that he was probably suffering from extremely severe pain at the moment.

When I thought of the already cold body beside me, I couldn't help but feel sad again.

Konan held Nagato's head with both hands, rocking her body slightly, her movements as childish as if she were soothing a newborn baby. But at this moment, she had no idea what she could do.

In order to avoid disturbing Nagato, she even tried her best to suppress her sobs and not let herself cry out loud.

The rain keeps falling.

The purple girl lowered her head sadly, and a black bat mark on her chest appeared in her hazy vision.

She was slightly startled.

It was not until a moment later that she came to her senses. Her eyes lit up at first, but then dimmed again, and a hint of regret flashed in her eyes.

"Yahiko is dead...what's the use of this communication bat now?"

At this time, the purple-haired girl finally recalled what the young leader of the Yugen Village had said to Yahiko in an abandoned house where they took shelter from the rain.

The tall young man stood under the eaves, turned his head slightly to reveal his handsome profile, and spoke in a faint voice.

"Don't believe Yugakure!"

But at that time, Yahiko regarded Hanzo the Salamander as the guardian god of the Rain Country, so how could he listen to the words of someone he just met and had a little affection for?

Before, Konan had suspected that there might be a conspiracy behind Hanzo's invitation to the Akatsuki organization to participate in this alliance, but looking at the fighting spirit of Yahiko, she could only suppress any doubts in her heart.

Nagato unconditionally supports any decision made by Yahiko.

Because they both understood that Yahiko had been waiting for this day for many, many years!

They had dedicated half their lives to the cause of peace in the Land of Rain. Seeing hope ahead, Nagato and Konan were filled with anticipation. Even if they still had some doubts, they couldn't dampen Yahiko's spirits at this moment.

Now this situation of one death and one injury almost suffocated Xiaonan's heart.

"If only I had been more resolute and persuaded Yahiko..."

This thought flashed through her mind again and again, and she blamed herself for not being more resolute at the time, otherwise she could have saved her companion's life.

Xiaonan reached out and gently stroked her chest, and the black mark materialized into a black bat that fell into her palm.

It also has a delicate antenna on its head, and the bat's entire body is fluffy and looks very cute.

"He must know something, otherwise why would he say that..."

Konan wanted to try to communicate with the young leader who had donated supplies to their Akatsuki organization, and try to see if he could save Yahiko's life with a desperate attitude.

After all, even in their Rain Country, there are occasional rumors about the young and powerful leader of the Tang Ninja Village - Shangguan Mo!

He was a figure who had made a name for himself in the ninja world, known as the Psychic Ninja. Perhaps he possessed abilities unimaginable to ordinary people?

Xiaonan thought.

"Dongyao Dongyao! Calling Dongyao! I am..."

Xiaonan's clear but sad voice suddenly stopped.

The black bat in her palm was snatched away by Nagato who suddenly looked up and was crushed into pieces the next moment.

"Nagato! You..."

Xiaonan looked at him, speechless with surprise. This indifferent friend made her feel extremely unfamiliar, even frightened.

Looking at the purple-haired girl before him, her hair dripping wet and her face tearing up, Nagato could no longer empathize with the pain and panic on her face. He was silent for a moment, then spoke softly, his voice cold.

"It's useless. The dead cannot be resurrected. The Akatsuki organization must completely cast aside its failed past and appear before the eyes of the ninja world with a brand new look. Next, I will inherit Yahiko's legacy and realize his dream of world peace! As for Hanzo and Konoha, I will not let either of them go!"

After a pause, Nagato's tone became extremely domineering.

"I want to be the God of the Rain Country!"

Staring blankly at Nagato who said something shocking, although Konan felt unfamiliar, in the end she could only nod woodenly.
