Traveling through Nagato, from conquering Konan to dominating the ninja world

"So... Kaede is the Nine-Tails' Jinchuriki."

Kushina held Naruto and came to Minato, facing Nagato and Konan together.

"From now on, we will treat Kaede as our own child and give him the same parental love as Naruto. Brother Nagato, sister Konan, if you miss this child in the future, you are welcome to visit my home anytime..."

Changmen smiled and said, "Since Madam has made the decision, I will be disrespectful to refuse."

Minato smiled helplessly and said, "So, my opinion as the Hokage of Konoha is irrelevant?"

Konan said seriously: "By the way, Minato, how are you going to explain the existence of 'Maple' to the rest of the village?"

Minato pondered and said, "I have already thought of an excuse. It is that Naruto's brother was forced to seal the Nine-Tails into his body in an emergency..."

Nagato said: "There are a lot of loopholes. They are brothers. Not to mention their different looks and hair colors, and... Tsunade and others who were responsible for delivering Kushina, as well as the top leaders of Konoha, probably all know that Kushina is not pregnant with twins!"

Minato lowered his eyes to look at Feng in his arms, a gentle look in his eyes.

"I have no choice. Since Feng has been made to bear the fate of the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, I must give him the title he deserves. Even if it will lead to doubts, I will not hesitate. Everything is to protect Feng's healthy growth to the greatest extent possible..."

"As for those who know the truth, Tsunade-sama, Biwako-sama, the Third Hokage, and Jiraiya-sensei, I will do my work and ask them to keep this secret for me..."

What else can Nagato and Konan say?

Minato, you are such a gentle and kind person...

Nagato thought more deeply and thoroughly.

He didn't believe that with Minato's intelligence, he couldn't see the way.

The same is true.

As if he were a prophet, Nagato had predicted the outcome of the Nine-Tails Rebellion. 'Jiso Tensei' and 'Kaede' took the place of Kushina and Naruto and bore the consequences that they should have borne.

Is it really as simple as Nagato caring about the friendship between his fellow disciples and establishing an alliance with Konoha for the sake of survival and development as the leader of Amegakure?

Nagato must have other plans. The most realistic answer I can think of is that he wants to take the Nine-Tailed Fox for himself through Kaede.

However, what I can't understand is that with his strength, it would be a piece of cake for him to snatch the Nine-Tails by relying on his brute force when Kushina and I said goodbye.

But he was willing to sacrifice his own life force to save Kushina.

He even used his own child Kaede to replace Naruto and become the Jinchūriki.

Pain is not Nagato... This is outright sophistry! I have seen with my own eyes that the masked girl in Pain can perform psychic summons on other Pains, even those who are not Pains!

From this perspective, human spiritualism is itself an ability of the Rinnegan!

If Nagato is willing, he can let the masked woman Pain communicate with himself, Konan, and Kaede at any time!

In this way... the Nine-Tailed Fox sealed in Feng's body will also be summoned to the body.

It can be said that... from the moment the Nine-Tailed Fox was sealed into Kaede's body, the Nine-Tailed Fox was already in Nagato's pocket.

So why was he still willing to keep Kaede in Konoha as the child of Kushina and me?

From a purely profit-seeking perspective, this is absolutely a waste of time.

From this...I came to a preliminary conclusion.

Nagato is not a pure profit-seeker.

There is a purpose hidden in his warmth, and there is warmth in his purpose.

It's not just the objective fact that he sacrificed his life force to save Kushina, but the tenderness in his purpose is the reason why I choose to turn a blind eye to his purpose.

Let's get along with each other first, with Maple as the bond... If one day in the future, you want to take the Nine-Tails away from Konoha, we will each rely on our own abilities.

Minato threw a "Sword of Ninja Love" at Nagato.

Nagato took it and said, "I already have this..."

Minato said expressionlessly: "This is the official one, please keep it well, and don't throw it in strange places again..."

"..." Nagato smiled.

After that, you really came again. The septic tank of our Rain Hidden Land must be a very unforgettable memory for you...

"Okay, I'll keep it well, but please don't come unless necessary." Nagato put the "Sword of Ninja Love" in his arms.

Minato held out his palm, "Then, give me one of your so-called 'Thunder God Technique' beacons as well."

Nagato threw a double-pointed kunai over.

After Minato caught it, he examined it carefully: "Yoroshiku? It seems to suit your bad taste..."

Ye Lu Si Ku means please take care of me.

He solemnly put "Ye Lu Si Ku" into his arms.

"I'll put it in my living room, so you don't have to think about how to get in through the back door. From now on, in Konoha, you are not allowed to go anywhere except my house..."

In this way, the two completed the exchange of tokens.

Minato said, "Is it okay for your hair to be like this?"

Nagato said: "Don't worry, our barber shop in Yuyin Village provides hair dyeing services."

Minato smiled meaningfully: "That's good..."

"Shhh!!"

There was the sound of hurried running in the forest.

"It seems that I should go now. By the way, I have a piece of advice for you. Minato, in order for you to have more achievements in the position of Hokage, you'd better not reveal the identity of your disciple to anyone. This is a big problem..."

"Bang!" "Bang!" As the words fell, Nagato and Konan disappeared in the white smoke of spiritualism.

"Ah, I understand." Minato clenched his palms tightly...

……

"Bang!!!"

Outside Konoha... on a high mountain far away from the detection of Sage Mode!

After Nagato appeared, he shouted: "Orochimaru, hurry up!!"

Orochimaru put his palms together.

——Spiritual: Impure World Reincarnation!!!

"Boom!" "Boom!"

Two coffins rose up beside the scene. When they landed, one of them contained...

----------

Thanks to 'Juanjuanqiaokeai' for the explosive update~!!

Chapter 156: Clean and neat! ! "Exclusively sponsored by Juanjuan Qiaokeai"

The coffin fell down, and the two brothers Jinjiao and Yinjiao from Yunyin walked out of the coffin...

Time goes back to ten days ago, when Nagato and Sasori rushed to the desert of the Wind Kingdom!

Nagato found Orochimaru and told him his plan.

This plan was initially strongly opposed by Orochimaru.

"Nagato-kun, I understand why you do this, but the price is too high. With the bodies of the Uzumaki clan, the loss of vitality will eventually be reflected in the chakra."

"In other words, you will lose not only your lifespan, but also a considerable amount of your strength."

"If immortality is also one of your plans, then what you will lose is the strength to pursue immortality."

"The most important thing is... from what I know so far, there is no way to replenish vitality except by transplanting Hashirama's cells!"

"Orochimaru, it seems that I have touched upon your blind spot in knowledge. There are ways to replenish vitality besides transplanting Hashirama's cells."

Orochimaru was very interested: "Oh? I'd like to hear more about it!"

"That is... using the Hungry Ghost Way to absorb the Tailed Beast's Chakra!"

This method was personally verified by Edo Tensei Nagato in the original work.

The state in which Nagato was resurrected by the Impure World Reincarnation was that after he activated the Rinnegan and exhausted his vitality... he was skinny and had white hair.

But... he simply used the 'Hungry Ghost Path' to absorb Killer Bee's Eight-Tails' second-state Tailed Beast Coat and recovered to a healthy state!

It can be seen that the chakra of the tailed beast is special and can even replenish vitality!

As for why the tailed beast chakra can replenish vitality... Nagato couldn't give a definite answer, but he guessed that it was related to the fact that the tailed beast chakra was an important component of the 'Divine Tree'!

"Is that so... Nagato-kun?"

"Trust me, it won't go wrong."

"So, is there anything I should do, Nagato-kun?"

"Find the life essence of the brothers Kinkaku and Ginkaku in the Hidden Cloud Village, and bring them both back to life!"

Orochimaru understood Nagato's intention in a second: "I see! Kinkaku and Ginkaku, because they ate the flesh and blood of the Nine-Tails, possess a large amount of the Nine-Tails' chakra. Over the years, the Nine-Tails' chakra has become a part of their own power. In theory, they can still carry it even after the Impure World Reincarnation."

"That's right. This way, not only will my lost vitality be replenished... I may even get an 'extra gain'!"

Obito once suspected that Nagato and Orochimaru had contact, but the White Zetsu returned empty-handed in a surprise inspection a few months ago. However, according to subsequent reports from the White Zetsu who were instigated to rebel.

Obito did not seem to give up the search for Orochimaru's whereabouts, and still sent out a considerable number of White Zetsu to search for Orochimaru everywhere.

It is true that Orochimaru has the ability to sense White Zetsu, but there are so many White Zetsu and they appear and disappear at will, so many times, it is difficult to guard against them.

Nagato responded to this risk in a simple and rough manner.

"If it was three months ago, I would have racked my brains and done it cautiously, but now, Obito is no longer enough to intimidate me to the point of being restrained."

"Go ahead, be as careful as possible on the road. If we are really discovered, it is God's will. God wants me to break up with him at this critical moment. If we are not discovered, then we will succeed for free!"

In the end, everything depends on strength.

Just like that, Nagato and Sasori went to the Land of Wind, Orochimaru and Kabuto went to the Land of Lightning... and eventually, the current situation came about!

"Boom!" "Boom!"

After Kinkaku and Ginkaku stepped out of the coffin, under the control of the kunai talisman placed by Orochimaru, they both entered the state of Nine-Tails Chakra manifestation!

"Boom!" Nagato stepped through the earth and rocks, rushed forward in one step, and with the posture of "Thunder Blade·Two Swords Style", he embraced the two men's sturdy necks!

——The realm of hungry ghosts!!

"Boom!" "Boom!"

The Nine-Tails chakra in the bodies of the Kinkaku and Ginkaku brothers was swallowed up by Nagato like a surging river... The vitality he consumed in performing the "Self-Reincarnation" to save Kushina was restored in an instant, and the half of his white hair returned to a bright red!

This is... the truth about what Nagato told Minato about 'hair dyeing'!

Minato had anticipated this, but as if it was a tacit understanding, he didn't point it out!

After fully recovering his vitality, the Nine-Tails' chakra absorbed still had some left... "Gugugugu" outside Nagato's body, transforming into a 'fox dress'.

Six tails, swaying behind it.

Of course, the six tails here are just a symbol and are not really equivalent to the six tails of the Nine-Tailed Fox.

Moreover, it is in state one, not tightly wrapped around the body.

But as long as Nagato is willing, with a little practice, he can also achieve the transformation to the second state like the Jinchūriki.

"There is still so much Nine-Tails Chakra left. It is truly extraordinary..."

This unexpected gain made Nagato very excited, and he looked at Orochimaru brightly.

"The accuracy of your Impure World Reincarnation has improved. The power of the Golden Horn and Silver Horn has been restored almost perfectly..."

Orochimaru smiled and said, "After all, I am not very willing to make a defective product like Kakuzu every time. Kakuzu's Impure World Reincarnation is really useless except for financial management..."

Nagato agreed: "That's true... However, the Impure World Reincarnation is so sophisticated. In such a short time, with your diligent study of actuarial calculations, the accuracy shouldn't have been improved to this level, right?"

Orochimaru said: "As expected, I can't hide it from you, Nagato-kun. Yes, the sacrifice this time is very special. I used two White Zetsu that I captured along the way."

Nagato frowned slightly: "Not our companions, right?"

"Of course, Nagato-kun said that we should treat the White Zetsu with serial numbers well."

"So... the information about your presence has been leaked."

"I'm afraid so. After all, before the Impure World Reincarnation, White Zetsu must be a 'living body'."
