Naruto, this is called Kuuga, not White Zetsu

Thinking about this, Jiraiya glanced at the tent in the corner.

No matter what the other party's purpose is, we must prepare for the worst. Before leaving, Tsunade specifically asked Chihiro to protect her every step of the way, just to prevent Shizune from getting into any trouble...

If Shizune died, I'm afraid Konoha would definitely go to war with the Rain Country... No... There's no need to even wait until Konoha and Nagato go to war... Seto Chihiro can defeat the Rain Country alone.

The terrifying defense of the Corpse Vein is so strong that even Shinra Tensei can easily defend against it...

However, just when Jiraiya was still thinking about this matter, Seto Chihiro suddenly spoke.

"Master Jiraiya, do you think it is possible that Nagato sent that guy to monitor me? I am so powerful, and after the last failure, that guy might be brooding over this matter, so he secretly monitors me and gives me a fatal blow."

"..."

Jiraiya's mouth twitched, and after thinking about it, he decided not to say his guess out loud.

Instead of monitoring this kid, if he had known that guy's target was Shizen, he would probably have gone to find Jue first.

Jue is Nagato's subordinate, helping Nagato find people. It would be bad if Chihiro and Nagato both suffered losses.

"Leave this matter to me. When I ask Obito for information tomorrow, I will ask Nagato what happened."

"Tomorrow?"

Seto Chihiro muttered to herself, then frowned quickly:

"What if that guy doesn't admit it later? He sent Uchiha Itachi to attack us before."

"Didn't you hear it just now? Nagato said that Uchiha Itachi is missing."

"Then let's go find Hoshigaki Kisame. That night..."

After hearing what Seto Chihiro said, Jiraiya was also a little moved.

Kisame was arranged by Obito to monitor Itachi. Killing Kisame can not only solve the problem of Itachi being monitored, but also get rid of the thorns ambushing around Nagato...

but...

Jiraiya suddenly looked at Seto Chihiro. When did this kid become like this? Why does he always talk about killing people?

"Chihiro, ninjas don't exist to kill people. No matter how powerful you are, you can't control the lives of others at will."

"Master Jiraiya, have you ever felt death?"

"Well, I have felt it... and I have felt it many times, such as when I faced Hanzo the Salamander..."

The more Jiraiya spoke, the more he felt something was wrong.

Is it because of what happened that night? It's all my fault for exchanging information with Itachi...

"I still can't believe that Nagato, Itachi and Kisame are all ninjas under that guy. The guy called Obito was wearing the same clothes as them. That night was not only the closest I had ever been to death, but also the closest Captain Kakashi had ever been to death..."

Looking at Seto Chihiro's angry look, Jiraiya's expression suddenly became more complicated.

Didn't he also want to interrogate Kisame himself, obtain information, and get rid of Obito?

But if it were the old him, he would not be as passionate as Chihiro, but now he is Konoha's assistant and has to consider Konoha in everything.

Konoha has just experienced the night of genocide, and its strength has not only declined. If a conflict occurs in the Rain Country, it is very likely to trigger the Fourth Ninja World War. Chihiro can deal with the Rain Country alone, but what about other ninja villages?

You have to know that the Tsuchikage of the Land of Earth is a person similar to the old man.

"I can't trust the guy who stabbed me in the back...but I also trust Jiraiya-sama."

With that said, Seto Chihiro turned around and walked towards the tent:

"I will stay by your side for the next few days. Master Jiraiya, please don't forget what you said."

"This kid..."

Jiraiya couldn't help but smile when he heard these words, but the smile on his face quickly faded away.

Nagato, what on earth are you thinking?

Chapter 42 How a Person Changes

There are always traces of a person's changes, and they do not happen out of thin air.

As a person's experiences increase, his or her personality will also change along with those experiences.

He and Kakashi were forced into a desperate situation by Uchiha Obito.

Although this is not the case, people only believe what they see. If it weren't for his timely rescue, the people who would have died would have been him and Hatake Kakashi.

You said Uchiha Obito had no intention of killing Kakashi?

Then why is Kakashi still lying in the Konoha Hospital? Why was Chihiro already unconscious when he saw her?

What? You said Seto Chihiro was faking this?

Please, he is Tsunade's only clan member, and he inherited the Wood Style blood of the Ninja God Senju Hashirama.

The orthodox rule of Konoha is in the Senju. How dare you, a murderer who murdered the Fourth Hokage, to sow discord between us?

So, after Seto Chihiro pretended to be defeated by Obito, everyone had the same idea: I am a child now, at an age where my values ​​have not been established, and I am most easily influenced by other people.

Aren't you trying to sow discord between me and Konoha?

It doesn't matter. I'll take the bait. From now on, I'll be a loyal executor of the Moon Eye Project and I'll do whatever you ask me to do.

I will help you catch the tailed beasts, but after catching them, it shouldn't be a big deal to take some of their chakra, right?

As for why his personality became like this, it doesn’t mean that your brainwashing was successful or your techniques are sophisticated.

Therefore, what's not to like about knowing Black Zetsu's information at the moment when Seto Chihiro is sure, and then being able to absorb the chakra of the tailed beasts?

At noon the next day, Shizune continued to perform a series of dressing changes on Nagato deep in the cave, and judged whether the recovery was going smoothly based on the healing of his injuries.

The Uzumaki clan has very strong vitality, which can be seen from their recovery from injuries.

The areas where surgery was performed yesterday have all been scabbed over. The skin is the largest organ in the human body. If it were an ordinary person, the wound would have already started to become inflamed in this humid and crude operating environment.

"Huh~ Alright."

Shizune tied a simple knot on the gauze, "Your legs are recovering very smoothly. After changing the medicine once or twice, the skin on your legs will grow back."

"Thank you..." Nagato said.

"Don't thank me, thank Jiraiya-sama..."

After saying this, Shizune turned to look at Konan, and in the latter's nervous and puzzled eyes, she took out a scroll.

"This is a tonic. Long-term use can nourish Nagato's body. I'll give it to you... Most of the herbs on it are common. The only precious one is deer antler, which can be bought in Konoha."

Konan immediately knew the value of this potion and took it with trembling hands: "I understand. From now on, I will follow the instructions above and let Nagato take it on time."

After hearing this, Shizune nodded. All she had to do next was wait for Nagato's legs to recover, and her mission would be truly accomplished.

But it's really strange, Uchiha's Sharingan can't exert such severe pressure on the body, right?

Thinking of this, Shizune couldn't help but think of Kakashi lying on the hospital bed.

Also because of his eyes, Kakashi just couldn't close his Sharingan, causing the continuous loss of chakra.

But the Rinnegan is different. When Shizune was performing surgery on Nagato, she found that the Rinnegan did not require much chakra. However, Nagato became like this, and combined with the information submitted by Lord Jiraiya.

It is very likely that when using ninjutsu, it will directly demand the host's chakra.

And it requires so much chakra that even the Uzumaki clan has a hard time with it...

After watching Seto Chihiro follow Shizune away, Jiraiya looked at Nagato again.

Because they were afraid that Nagato's eyes would be taken away directly after their identities were exposed, for safety reasons, they basically issued a wanted order for Uchiha Obito in the Ninja World after they arrived in the Rain Country.

A hint of heartache appeared on his face, but he soon became firm, as if he was ready for what was to come.

Just as he was about to ask, Nagato seemed to see what Jiraiya was thinking.

"Teacher Jiraiya, do you still want to ask about Uchiha Obito?"

"Well... that's not wrong..."

"In fact, I didn't know his identity at first, but when we found him, he was lying on the ground. After waking up, he joined the reborn Akatsuki."

Nagato looked calm as he spoke while thinking about how to make Jiraiya believe what he said.

It's not just that Obito has the Six Paths Ninjutsu in his hands, but he also needs to use that guy right now.

The most crucial thing is the information that guy revealed that day - the Sage of Six Paths.

Legend has it that the appearance of the Six Paths Sage brought the unique energy of Chakra to the people of this world, and taught people to use seals to utilize this Chakra.

His original plan was to abandon that guy after getting information from Obito, and Konoha would never let him go after killing the Yondaime Hokage and releasing the Nine-Tails.

But after Obito said that he was saved by the Six Paths Sage, it wasn't that simple.

Either continue to use that guy as a pawn, or get rid of him secretly. Never let others know that Obito was saved by the Six Paths Sage.

As for why?

A small village like Suginoka Village can be robbed by the Hidden Cloud Village, so what about the legendary Rinnegan?

If they knew that Obito was saved by the Six Paths Sage, the Rain Country would definitely have come into the sight of other major countries at the first opportunity.

"That guy has indeed been using Madara to disguise himself, but now he is like Uchiha Itachi. He has not appeared in my sight for a long time. The only one who came back is Kisame."

Hearing an answer similar to yesterday, Jiraiya looked over the two of them and opened his mouth.

"Have you been using Madara to disguise yourself? Then do you know that he released the Nine-Tails and murdered your fellow apprentice?"

"Junior brother..."

Nagato and Konan looked at each other.

The Fourth Hokage, whom he had never met, turned out to be his junior fellow apprentice.

Xiaonan's eyelashes trembled slightly, her throat moved a few times, and a hint of hesitation flashed in her eyes.

But she didn't say anything, just looked at her teacher silently. In the dim room, Jiraiya didn't notice Konan's actions.

"Teacher Jiraiya, although I have arranged people to track down that guy, but because of the special nature of his space ninjutsu, I don't know when I will get his information."

"Is it Zetsu?"

Jiraiya thought about what happened yesterday.

He believed that Qianxun was not mistaken, but facing his own disciple, it was difficult for him not to believe it.

Could it be that I was in the wrong place yesterday because I was reporting on the mission?

If you think about it carefully, it seems that this is not impossible...

"Has Zetsu come back during this time? Is there any information about Obito?"

"This...Zetu hasn't come recently. He went to collect other information. He doesn't know about Obito yet...No, he may have learned about it from other countries."

Jiraiya narrowed his eyes slightly and clenched his fists involuntarily.

"What's wrong? Jiraiya-sensei, is there something wrong with the ninja named Zetsu?"

"Nagato, have you ever doubted that Zetsu is Obito's subordinate?"

At the same time, Black Zetsu, who was underground, trembled visibly.

White Zetsu, who shared the same body with it, was trying hard to look at Black Zetsu, as if he was curious about why there would be such a drastic change between partners who had been living together in the same body day and night.

"Teacher Jiraiya, there is no way he is Obito's spy. He was indeed introduced by Obito, but he is a ninja from the Land of Rain. Because of his special talent, he became an intelligence member of the Akatsuki organization."

Nagato didn't think that Zetsu was Obito's spy, but that he, like him, was someone who was deceived by Obito.

As an intelligence member of Akatsuki, he basically travels to different major countries every day to collect intelligence.

Even the Samsara Eye can't see through his stealth skills. If he were Obito, he would never let Zetsu be exposed to other people...

"A native Rain Country ninja?"

Jiraiya paused and looked across the entire space. Chihiro had helped him many times, and he was still a school-age kid, so it was better not to let him get involved in this matter.

"But why do I feel like there's always someone watching us these days?"

"Is someone watching you?"
