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

"This, this...isn't it too unbelievable?"

Minato was the first to regain his composure. He said to Hiruzen, "Sir, the body of the Third Kazekage was made into a puppet. And compared to other enemies that look like puppets, his structure is more like a mechanical puppet in our traditional understanding!"

"So... I think he was killed and made into a puppet when he attacked Konoha. His death has nothing to do with us!"

"You are too naive, Fourth Hokage. Even if this is true, the people of Sunagakure won't think so if they know."

At this time... a dark and low voice sounded.

Minato looked over: "Mr. Danzo..."

……

【The first time I saw you was on fire. The first time I saw you was on fire.】

The Uchiha base is located on a training ground far away from residential areas.

Members of the guard corps, led by Uchiha Yashiro, gathered outside the deep pit, looking at the tragically dead bodies of the Hell Realm.

"I really don't understand. How did this guy, who obviously has no ability, subdue Yaowei and Setsuna?"

“I feel weird too.”

After pondering for a moment, Yashiro made a rational analysis: "Could it be that he has helpers? After seeing us, he ran away without a second thought, and he ran to a place far away from the residential area with a purpose. It can be understood that he was covering for that helper, right?"

"That's true...why don't we search for it quickly?"

At this time, following the crowd of police officers, a young man with long hair jumped into the pit.

"Compared to his helpers, there is one more thing worth confirming."

"Rice fire." People looked at the young man who spoke.

Uchiha Inahime, at the age of nine, had already opened the Sharingan and became a candidate member of the police force.

Inahiro used his immature single magatama to look at the 'eyes' of Hell Path Pain and said in a low voice: "Brother Yashiro, compared to his helpers, don't you think his eyes are strange?"

Yashiro looked at it intently: "Come to think of it, that background color and lines don't look like ordinary eyes..."

The Uchiha clan, who also did not know the information about the "Rinnegan" and were particularly sensitive to eyes, discovered the abnormality in Pain's eyes earlier than the Konoha clan.

Dao Huo said calmly: "This body will be handed over to the village sooner or later."

"I mean, if this eye is some kind of eye technique other than the Sharingan and the Byakugan, and it is obtained by the village, it will be disadvantageous to our clan, right?"

Yashiro asked, "So what do you think?"

Dao Huo clenched his fists slightly, and a bold idea emerged from the bottom of his heart: "Why don't we remove the eye and hand over the body to the village. If the village asks, we can say that his eyes were destroyed in the battle!"

This is a serious matter, and Yashiro has some concerns: "Your idea is not unreasonable, but it is not good to act on your own without Captain Fugaku's approval..."

Inahiro smiled and said, "One of the tenets of the police force is to handle special matters with special care. I believe that with Captain Fugaku here, he will definitely consider the interests of the clan."

"If it's really difficult, let me do it. I'm just a child anyway!"

As he said that, Daohuo crouched down, ready to dig out the eyes of Hell!

"Shh!"

In the rain, a slender black shadow fell into the pit and grabbed his small wrist!

Payne Tiandao looked down at Daohuo and said, "Young man, your idea is very dangerous."

"So there is a helper here!!!"

"Release the rice fire!!!"

The Uchiha youths drew their swords and jumped up! !

Tian Dao murmured coldly: "Shinra, Tian Zheng."

"boom……!!"

The powerful repulsive force expanded the deep pit by dozens of meters! !

"what……!!!"

The defenseless Uchiha members were thrown backwards in a panic and crashed into the guardrail of the training ground!!!

"You, you..." Daohuo looked at Tiandao's face in horror, with cold sweat running down his face.

And Nagato recognized the face of the child in front of him through Tendou's eyes.

"This face...is him."

In the early stage of the Uchiha Rebellion, because of Shisui's death, they became suspicious of Itachi, and three masters of the police force came to his house to question him.

The long-haired young man in the lead is the 'Uchiha Inahib' in front of him. Accompanying him, in addition to another rising star named Uchiha Tetsuka, is the 'Yashiro' who is quite prestigious among the Uchiha youngsters.

Although Inahiro's ability was denied by Itachi, at this moment, he is undoubtedly a "genius", but his aura is not as dazzling as Shisui and Itachi.

"Just one strike, and Brother Eighth Generation and the others..."

The overwhelming power displayed by Tiandao... made Daohuo tremble with fear all over. If his arm hadn't been grabbed by the other party, he would have been so scared that he collapsed to the ground.

At this time, Pain Tiandao raised his palm... and covered Inahuro's terrified face.

I am not interested in your 'blood sample'... However, being able to open the Sharingan at this age may also contain considerable possibilities.

"I'll remember you. When you die in the future, I will come and take your eyes."

Nagato smiled and ordered a pair of eyes first. Of course, these eyes were not for his own use, as he didn't like them.

"Bang!" Tiandao's knee hit Daohuo's abdomen.

"Aaaaaahhh..." Daohu curled up and knelt down, losing consciousness.

"Damn it!!! How dare you... attack our Uchiha juniors!!!"

“This is simply unforgivable!!!”

Yashiro and others, regardless of the pain in their bodies, climbed up one after another, turned their Sharingan to three magatama, and rushed forward to kill!

Tiandao sighed with a complicated feeling: "The Uchiha clan's persistence in their bloodline is truly admirable and lamentable. It's a pity that you... are not my relatives."

……

The appearance of Danzo made all the Konoha people at the scene change color, and they all retreated to a distance at the same time.

Danzo didn't care about this. He walked straight to Minato and Hiruzen, staring at the body of the Third Kazekage on the ground and said.

"This matter... must be kept strictly secret. In my opinion, it is better for us to handle the remains of the Third Kazekage and other invaders. We will ensure that nothing is leaked."

Chapter 28: Mission accomplished, retire!

Danzo's suggestion made Minato, the good man, look slightly gloomy.

While training with Sensei Jiraiya, he had heard of this man who was a contemporary of the Third Hokage and was known as the Dark Man of Konoha.

He thought to himself: When Sensei Jiraiya learned that I would become Hokage, he specifically warned me to be extra careful of Danzo.

The teacher's worries are not without reason.

But this is my first time dealing with this person, so I have to choose my words carefully to make sure I look presentable...

After considering his words, Minato said kindly, "Mr. Danzo, this attempt to cover up something will only make it more obvious. If it is exposed, it will be detrimental to the village, right? It is something that originally had nothing to do with us, but now it is difficult to explain!"

Oh wow?

Danzo was startled.

Coincidentally, this was also his first time dealing with Minato on the scene.

I only knew that he was young and had extraordinary ninjutsu skills...but I didn't expect that he was so decisive in his approach.

But he won't give up.

Danzo stared at Minato seriously and said, "Fourth Hokage, I did this for you! You have just been crowned Hokage and your foundation is not stable. At this time, if the news that you killed the Third Kazekage spreads and arouses the hatred of the Sand Village, it would be a small matter for you to be involved in the dispute, but it would be a big matter for Konoha to be implicated, right?"

Minato said calmly: "I don't care what outsiders think. I only know that it is my unshirkable duty as the Hokage to repel the invading enemy and reduce the casualties of the village!"

"Hmph!" Danzo snorted coldly and turned his gaze to Hiruzen who looked embarrassed.

"Bang!" At this time, the Ruyi Stick turned back into the ape demon, and said tactfully: "If there is nothing else, I will go back first~."

"Oh! Go ahead."

After the Saruma left, Hiruzen glanced at the Konoha people around him and whispered, "Minato... This matter is very serious. Even if we are not at fault, we should avoid suspicion. I think the matter of the remains should be left to Danzo. Of course, you are the Hokage, so the decision is in your hands."

Hearing this, Danzo smiled deeply.

Of course, he didn't come here to clean up Minato's mess for no reason.

As someone who had conspired with Hanzo against Akatsuki not long ago, he had long known that... Akatsuki's Nagato possessed the power of the Rinnegan.

But he knew such important information... but did not report it, which shows his ambition.

"Third generation sir..."

Hiruzen's words of support made Minato's expression darken.

Deep in his heart, he had great respect for this elder who valued him, gave him great trust and pushed him to the position of Hokage.

He could even understand... the difficulties that Hiruzen had in making such a decision.

What Danzo said actually makes sense... The Third Hokage must have done this against his conscience just to protect me.

If it were anything else... I would never go against the wishes of the Third Hokage, but this time it is a matter of principle. Once a precedent is set, I will inevitably be constrained by Danzo in the future!

The Konoha I want to build... is the upright will of fire! I don't want to dominate the ninja world, I just want no one to bully me!

So, Namikaze Minato raised his head and said solemnly: "Sorry, Third Hokage, the remains of the invaders cannot be handed over to Mr. Danzo's roots!"

"The body of the Third Kazekage will be collected by the Konoha Anbu and handed over to the Sand Village on a chosen day. We will also explain the situation to the Fourth Kazekage!"

"As for the remains of the other invaders, they will be handed over to Konoha's medical team. I dare to assert that the real invaders are still threatening us behind the scenes. We must unlock the intelligence of the enemy's 'jutsu' and prevent it before it happens!"

"The above is my decision as Hokage! Mr. Danzo, do you have anything else to say?"

"Ka!" Danzo gripped the end of his cane tightly and shouted angrily, "Hiruzen, look at what your stubborn disciple is saying!"

Hiruzen said innocently: "He is not my disciple, he is Jiraiya's disciple..."

"It's all the same. Your innocence is the same as before. There is no difference!" Danzo wanted to make a final effort: "Fourth generation! You can deal with the body of the Third Kazekage as you wish. You will bear the consequences at your own risk! But the other body must be taken over by the Root!"

Minato asked in confusion, "Why is that?"

"Because..." Danzo's eyes turned to the corpse of 'Pain Hungry Ghost' in the ruins in the distance: "He is a member of my Root Seventh Branch, codenamed 'Dingmao'!"

"What?" Another shocking reality, Minato flashed in front of Ding Mao and looked at him intently.

His hair color is the same as Mizuki's, and he is also adorned with strange decorations.

What is the connection? Why do they have to be made into the same style?

Could it be...

Minato leaned over and tried to pull the black stick off Ding Mao's body.

"clatter!"

Danzo used his cane to block his palm.

"Fourth Hokage, since the founding of the Root, the Hokage and the Root have been sharing power and are not allowed to interfere in each other's internal affairs! I may not interfere with your decision-making, but you have no right to interfere when I bring back the bodies of my subordinates!"

Minato…retracted his hand, sighed softly, and stood up.

"Well then... please take Ding Mao's body back with you."

"Hmph." Danzo raised the corner of his mouth: "There is something that you will get news of sooner or later. I will tell you in advance that the mastermind behind this attack may be related to the Uchiha clan."

Minato looked at him and said seriously, "Mr. Danzo, this is not something you can just say!"

Danzo sneered: "Of course not, I have always had people in the dark, keeping a close eye on the movements of the Uchiha clan. When the village was attacked, there were sounds of fighting from within the clan, but why did no one from the clan report the movements of the invaders from beginning to end?"

"..." Minato clenched his fists.

"Well, I am leaving now. Fourth generation, you should think carefully about how to explain this matter to Lord Kazekage."

With an obscure smile on his face, he turned around and glanced at the body of 'Hungry Ghost Realm Ding Mao'.

In this way... I can be one step ahead and peek into the secret of the 'Samsara Eye'!

"Bang!!!"

Suddenly...without any warning, the Hungry Ghost Realm and the Asura Realm disappeared in the white smoke.
