The third generation Hokage sent Danzo to jail at the beginning

There is weirdness.

Kakashi gave the order.

"Let's go and take a look. We can't let Kumogakure and the others destroy the precious peace."

……

The high tower in the center of Yuyin was hit by the rain, making a fine knocking sound.

Nagato sat quietly in the wheelchair, his thin figure almost blending into the shadows.

The Rinnegan's eye reflected the rain outside the window like a veil, covering the twinkling lights of the Hidden Rain Village. Those faint lights swayed in the heavy rain, as if they would be extinguished at any time.

Payne was defeated.

The strength displayed by Konoha far exceeded expectations and was much stronger than Kumogakure. Whether it was the Hokage, Jiraiya, or the traitor Uchiha Itachi, none of them were super masters who could be easily defeated.

Jiraiya's toad illusion is so powerful that even I, who possesses the Rinnegan, cannot avoid it.

Even if the original body goes to fight again...it may not win.

Konoha did not try its best this time. Orochimaru and Tsunade did not appear on the battlefield. There was also Kakashi, one of the Five Tiger Admirals, and another traitor, Hoshigaki Kisame... and many other less famous masters of Konoha.

Konoha has too many cards in hand.

Nagato thought about it and couldn't help but frown.

Tiandao, Yahiko also fell into Konoha's hands.

Since Sensei Jiraiya is here, there's no need to worry too much.

From now on, I can only negotiate as the disadvantaged party... Maybe Master Jiraiya will give me preferential treatment out of the relationship between master and disciple.

Nagato's thoughts turned over and over, and in the end he felt that he was a little naive to actually rely on the teacher-student relationship after so many years.

Thinking of this, a helpless chuckle mixed in with the sound of rain.

I don't know if I'm laughing at my own naiveté, or lamenting the cruel twists of fate. The boy who vowed to make the world feel pain is now struggling to even protect the light in front of him.

The pieces of paper fell like snow, gradually condensing into Xiaonan's figure. Her figure appeared silently at the end of the corridor.

"Nagato, the Hokage is willing to negotiate."

Nagato's fingers tightened slightly on the wheelchair's armrests. Although he had expected this, he felt relieved when he heard the news in person.

He was also afraid of another possibility: Konoha felt that Akatsuki's true strength was just that, so it would directly send a large army to destroy Amegakure.

By then... Yahiko's ideals would be completely shattered. He himself would be completely transformed into a revenge machine, losing all his future.

Nagato turned his wheelchair slightly sideways, looked at Konan and said, "Pain has lost. If we want to protect Amegakure, we can only negotiate now."

Seeing that Nagato was willing to give in, Konan's expression visibly relaxed. She was quite afraid that Nagato would suddenly not be able to accept defeat and become a middle school student and make the world suffer again.

Fortunately, Nagato's mind is now normal.

Driving away Obito and Black Zetsu was indeed the right decision.

"And, Jiraiya-sensei..." She took a step forward, paper flowers blooming at her fingertips. "He offered to mediate for us."

At this point, is Mr. Jiraiya still willing to help us?

Nagato smiled in surprise, "That's great."

"Then should I go to the front lines and ask Kakuzu and Sasori to stop the fighting?"

Nagato thought for a moment, then said sternly, "Send the order, and have them cease fire immediately. After the war... Kakuzu will be in charge of Amegakure's finances, and Sasori can establish a research institute, just like Orochimaru did in Konoha."

Tears welled up in Konan's eyes. Nagato looked more and more like Yahiko back then.

"As for Deidara and Hidan, when the time comes, let them all take up important positions in Amegakure."

Konan smiled upon hearing Nagato's arrangement.

Great.

If this continues, Akatsuki will... become like the Akatsuki of the past.

"I'll go right away."

Xiaonan turned into countless paper butterflies and flew out of the window.

At the last moment, she looked back - Nagato sitting alone in the wheelchair looked particularly lonely.

The paper butterfly flew through the rain curtain and flew into the distance.

Inside the tower, Nagato stared at the direction where Konan left.

Chapter 98: Will definitely make the clouds disappear and become bright again

In the steel forest shrouded by rain, the Cloud Hidden Squad swiftly moved through the intricate network of pipes. Raindrops slammed against the metal surface, making a crisp, ding-dong sound.

"Lord Kirabi, what should we do?" Xi lowered his voice, and the rain slid down his cheeks.

Killer Bee paused, his gaze from behind his sunglasses piercing the rain as he locked onto the towering central tower in the distance. He spoke gravely, "There's fighting going on at Hokage headquarters, and on the battlefields. The interior of Amegakure feels empty."

"Let's take this opportunity to recapture the tailed beast. That way, we'll have more leverage."

In this way, the clouds will surely disappear and become clear again!

The all-round ninja Xi showed a shocked expression. The once reckless Killer Bee now had such amazing wisdom.

Kirabi said to Xi: "From now on, it depends on your talent."

The all-round ninja Xi is proficient in ninjutsu, illusion, physical skills, medical treatment... and perception.

With Lord Killer Bee around, there is still a future in Kumogakure.

Xi took a deep breath, the scent of rain filling his nostrils: "I understand."

……

On top of a tall tower.

The mysterious masked man Uchiha Obito's scarlet Sharingan peered through the rain, gazing at the intricate complex of buildings below.

Black Zetsu beside him had a complicated look in his eyes and said in a strange tone, "Your plan to retrieve the Rinnegan seems to have hope."

A few minutes ago, Black Zetsu was still trying hard to persuade Obito to go back to study. We have plenty of time. Only when you awaken Uchiha Madara can we have hope for our Moon Eye.

You really can't beat Nagato. If you reveal the backup plan that Madara left in his heart, you will never have another chance. It's better to wait until you are more confident.

Obito thought he was farting and insisted on taking back the Rinnegan.

How could you, Black Zetsu, know anything about tactics! Have you ever fought in a war? I fought the Fourth Hokage, but have you? I, Uchiha Obito, can definitely get back the Rinnegan.

Black Zetsu could only sigh in his heart that Obito was really cold-hearted. They were clearly friendly with each other in the base, but he turned hostile as soon as he turned a corner.

Black Zetsu is still trying to persuade.

Until, suddenly, several swift figures flashed through the rain. Black Zetsu watched as the Kumogakure ninjas rushed into the central tower as if they were in an empty space.

His expression gradually became subtle.

Black Zetsu immediately shut up. If Kumogakure were to fight a preliminary battle, Obito might not be without a chance.

This kid's luck...seems to be back.

Black Zetsu touched his chin and said, "Obito, it's the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki."

Obito snorted, "I know. I told you, everything is according to my plan."

Black Zetsu had to admit that fools are just lucky.

The space began to fluctuate, and the vortex swallowed up the rain and air at the same time.

Obito hollowed out and disappeared, leaving behind a dull sound.

"We can't easily wake up Uchiha Madara. When he wakes up, you may not be the same person. Let's try to rely on ourselves."

What's the meaning?

Black Zetsu was stunned for a moment, then quickly reacted.

He said that I am now the 'special clone of Uchiha Madara' and have developed an independent consciousness. He is afraid that if Madara appears, my independent consciousness will disappear, right?

Ah?! Obito, why do you care about me, you idiot?

I lied to you, I'm a bad person!

After sorting out Obito's thoughts, Black Zetsu was stunned. Was the previous drama a bit too much?

……

"Nagato, Konan. We must change this country!"

'Even if I die, you must continue to move forward... for our dream.'

"Yahiko, I think I woke up a little too late."

While waiting for Xiaonan, Nagato stared at the rain and lost himself in memories.

Through the Rain Tiger Freedom Technique, Nagato could clearly sense dozens of unfamiliar chakras coursing through the Hidden Rain Village. This was not surprising—during wartime, it was common for scouts from the Five Nations Allied Forces to infiltrate the Hidden Rain Village.

Until more than a dozen chakra fluctuations appeared in the central tower.

Nagato then frowned, wondering what was going on.

Did Konan's talks break down? No, considering the time, Konan might have even started talking to the Hokage.

Is that... the coalition's assault force? Are they also aiming to capture the leader first? Hasn't the ceasefire order been issued yet?

This is troublesome.

I'll try to explain it later.

Nagato was thinking about countermeasures. The battle on the eve of peace was the most troublesome.

thump.

There was a sudden heavy crash, and the steel door was violently kicked open.

Nagato's wheelchair moved, and he slowly looked up.

The silhouettes of the Kumogakure ninjas were particularly sharp in the backlight, and the rain slid down their bodies, forming streams on the ground.

Kirabi, who was in the lead, narrowed his eyes, and his gaze from behind his sunglasses swept across the hall full of strange steam machines, and finally fell on the red-haired young man in the wheelchair.

"Xi, it seems your perception is wrong." Kirabi's voice was filled with obvious disappointment. "The target we are looking for is not here."

Xi's forehead was covered with beads of sweat. He said, "There are many high-intensity chakra reactions in this building, but the largest chakra reaction I've ever felt is right here."

Kirabi wanted to say that there was only one disabled person here.

But he fell silent when he saw Nagato's strange ripple-shaped Rinnegan.

The atmosphere seemed to freeze at this moment, and the sound of the falling rain became particularly clear.

Kirabi pushed up his sunglasses and nodded: "Ah, it seems to be true."

Nagato sighed inwardly, it was Kumogakure...that was the worst option.

"Negotiations between us, Yuyin, and the Allied Forces' commander have already begun."

Nagato tapped his fingers lightly on the wheelchair armrests and said slowly, "The war is over. The armistice order will be sent to you soon."

Everyone in Yunyin remained silent.

The wheelchair slowly moved forward half an inch.

Nagato emphasized again, "Please exercise restraint. The war is over."

Kirabi broke the silence, walked forward a few steps, sat on a mechanical pipe, and said with a smile and a cheerful tone, "Really? That's great."

It seems that communication is still possible and the other party has not been consumed by hatred.

"The war is about to end." Kirabi pushed his sunglasses and spoke in a light tone as if he was talking about today's weather.

The sound of rain outside the window was intertwined with the faint rumble of thunder.

Nagato nodded slightly in the wheelchair, feeling a little sorry for Kumogakure.

Thunder plow hot knife!

"Cripple!"

Kirabi roared.
