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

If I can't keep his words...all the negotiations so far will be meaningless.

"Xiao Nan, I understand how you feel, but now is not the right time. Perrin is already in position, let's retreat immediately!"

"Is that so?" Konan was very unwilling to accept that she was the culprit who caused the deaths of Yahiko and Akatsuki's companions and attempted to use Nagato to realize his own ambitions.

"Then at least let me prepare a gift for him!!"

She formed a seal with her hands, and the paper that had peeled off her body was quickly written into a spell, which was made into a detonating talisman and merged with the ground...

Orochimaru showed a surprised look: "This technique..."

He was too familiar with it. He had almost died at the hands of that man on the Rain Village battlefield during the Second Ninja World War!

Xiaonan said: "It's Hanzo's Explosive Fire Formation. I referred to the theory of the technique and combined it with my own methods to master it. I wanted to add some more explosive materials, but the preparation is not sufficient..."

Orochimaru smiled and said, "The power of this trap is that if you don't know about it in advance, there is almost no way to avoid it. Even with the Sharingan, it is difficult to fully detect the clues under such a sophisticated disguise..."

“Da Da Da!!” In the dark corridor of the dungeon, Obito’s figure quickly penetrated the wall! !

As the blocking wall continued to shrink, his Sharingan could vaguely see the end, those blurry chakra lights and shadows!

"Right there!" Obito's eyes focused, "Chakra reaction, there are four. One of them is Orochimaru, then who are the other three?"

He quickened his pace... When he was only separated from the target room by a wall, he suddenly jumped up and "clicked!" clenched his palms made of white vines!

Just like how he had knocked down a whole wall in front of Madara half a year ago, he punched hard!!!

"No matter who you are, you must die here!!!"

Because... you have touched the Pandora's Box that cannot be opened!

“Boom, boom, boom!!!”

The wall exploded, and Obito released the cutting tree with his right arm...

But, the room... was empty!!

The Bai Jue A Fei who was draped over him said, "This feeling... is just like the sudden disappearance of the urge to defecate, emmm, although I don't know what the urge to defecate feels like."

Obito ignored Afei's joke and scanned the room with his Sharingan.

He was absolutely sure...just ten seconds ago, the target was still in this room.

But it disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Use earth escape to perform the art of escaping underground?

His eyes looked towards the ground...

"Hmm?" I vaguely saw the reaction of Chakra.

He crouched down, his palms touching the ground...

“Rustle, rustle, rustle…!”

Suddenly, the fir-colored floor in front of him peeled off, and the flowing detonating talisman climbed up along his arm!!!

"!!!" Just as he was shocked, the detonating symbols that were perfectly integrated with the ground, emitting flames, flowed towards him! !

"This technique..."

“Boom boom boom boom…!”

The flames of the explosion instantly engulfed him, along with the entire room...!!!

Not only in this room, but in order to prevent any disaster, Xiaonan has already placed detonating tags in various places of Orochimaru's base, especially those that support the load-bearing parts of this underground building! !

This explosion… affected the entire underground base, and it collapsed with a roar! !

There was a barrier of fire blocking the way, so the people on the mountain several kilometers away who were brought here by Perrin’s spiritual power could not see clearly.

But the earth-shattering explosion and roar... could be heard clearly.

Looking at the Uchiha Flame Formation that stood firm, Konan clenched his hands, "The barrier hasn't disappeared, which means... my technique failed to kill him."

"Crash!"

When everything settled down... Uchiha Obito stood in the ruins with an expressionless face.

"Ouch~, it hurts, it hurts..." Ah Fei turned his right arm and complained.

"Obito, if I hadn't used my strong body to withstand the initial explosion, you would have at least had to replace another arm~."

Obito said with a gloomy face: "This jutsu belongs to Hanzo of Amegakure. How could Orochimaru... master it?"

Ah Fei made a reasonable guess: "Well, that guy is open to all forbidden techniques. Besides, the title of the Three Ninjas was bestowed by Hanzo. It's not surprising that he stole a few tricks, right?"

Obito laughed muffledly: "Hehehe, is that so? Then let's just take it as it is."

"Swish!" A White Zetsu emerged from the ruins beside him.

"Obito, I have good news for you. Kabuto Yakushi is still alive. We chased him all the way, but he still managed to escape. His ability is very similar to... the one Madara used back then, Izanami."

Ah Fei: "Oh my, I was really tricked~~!"

Obito looked up at the sky with his Sharingan, "Thanks to this explosion, I was also awakened..."

"Let's go back."

As his figure disappeared into the dark vortex, the fire barrier covering the ruins slowly descended.

Orochimaru smiled and said, "It ended without any major problems. Congratulations, Nagato-kun. All the elements are ready. We can truly start your 'second body' plan."

Nagato, however, was not overly optimistic.

"Obito, you won't suffer in silence like this. Orochimaru, I'm afraid that soon all your bases throughout the ninja world will become restricted areas."

His gaze turned to Xiaonan beside him.

Staying up late for ten days and ten nights is Xiaonan's physiological limit. After that, her physical and mental state will become very bad...

The wandering life of eating wind and sleeping in the open like in the past...can no longer continue.

At this moment, we really need a stable rear base...to provide a safe scientific research environment for Orochimaru, and also a safe haven for Konan.

Nagato raised his eyes and looked at the sky in the northwest.

Plans really can't keep up with the rapid changes...

"I didn't expect... that I would have to settle accounts with Hanzo so soon."

Boom boom boom...!!

A muffled thunder flashed in the rain-hidden sky.

Hanzo was awakened from his sleep!

“Hu, ha, hu, ha…” Cold sweat ran down his face.

"What is this feeling that makes my heart palpitate after such a long time?..."

"Lord Hanzo!!" The guard outside the door heard the noise and pushed the door open.

Hanzo glanced at him coldly: "Without my order, who allowed you to come in without permission!"

“Ahhhhhh…” The man died tragically on the spot, and blood splattered on the door.

Putting down the fingers that were forming the seal, he looked at the shadow kneeling behind the door.

"come in."

"Yes."

The door opened, revealing a man in armor and a mask.

"Master Hanzo, just now, an encrypted letter arrived from Danzo of Konoha..."

"It's him again. When he approached me for cooperation before, I also had similar palpitations..."

"So, do you want to reply to the other party's letter?"

"No." Hanzo pondered for a moment and got off the bed.

"Clean this place up before I come back."

"Yes, Lord Hanzo!"

Chapter 52 The Temperature of the Palm...

Tianguo Jizo Temple.

Nagato sat on the stone steps, looking at the missing left arm of Kabuto beside him, and said, "Kabuto, with your medical ninjutsu, if you bring the severed arm back, you will be able to reattach it yourself, right?"

Kabuto pushed up his glasses, nodded, and said, "Yes, Nagato-sama, but the situation at the time did not allow me to do so."

Nagato stretched out his hand and grasped Kabuto's left shoulder.

"Sir..." Dou looked hesitant and apprehensive.

"do not move."

As Nagato spoke, his eyes narrowed slightly.

——Shura Road!

"Crack!"

I saw a brand new hand suddenly appear at the place of Dou's broken arm.

"This, this is..." Kabuto was stunned, and Orochimaru also showed a subtle expression.

Nagato took his hand off Kabuto's shoulder and said, "This is the mechanical prosthetic hand I made for you using Shurado."

"Click! Click!" Kabuto moved the mechanical hand and said in amazement: "Even the nerves are connected? The power of the Rinnegan is incredible."

Nagato smiled and said, "Well. After all, you are not a flesh and blood body. It will definitely not be as convenient as your own hands at first, but I believe you will get used to it soon."

Dou's expression was a little complicated for a moment.

He knew very well that the person Nagato needed most was Orochimaru, but the latter showed care and tenderness to him, Orochimaru's assistant whose role was limited, which he did not even show to Orochimaru.

This touched him, yet also made him feel a little confused and helpless.

What does Lord Nagato want? My two-faced spy skills, or my excellent but not top-notch medical ninjutsu?

Dou really couldn't understand.

At this time, Nagato turned his gaze to Orochimaru and said sternly, "Next, that guy will definitely look for you all over the world. You definitely can't stay in the bases scattered around the ninja world. At least, you can't stay for long."

Orochimaru said: "Yes, this is unfortunate news, Nagato-kun. At least the current base does not have the conditions to complete the second body."

Nagato said, "Let's make some time difference. Before he turns the Ninja World upside down, gather all the precious experimental equipment and useful experimental subjects that you have scattered in various locations. Race against time and take as many as you can!"

Orochimaru thought for a moment and then smiled, "So you already have a plan for your next move in mind, Nagato-kun."

Nagato said firmly: "Yes. Next, I will take back the Hidden Rain Village from Hanzo!"

Behind the stone pillar, hearing Nagato's words, Konan lowered her eyes and hugged her knees tightly.

Before splitting up.

Orochimaru sternly warned, "Don't underestimate the enemy, Nagato-kun. My evaluation of Hanzo is that he is a mortal ninja who can reach the pinnacle through talent and hard work. He is on par with my teacher, Sarutobi Hiruzen."

Most people saw Hanzo and Hiruzen... only their helplessness in facing powerful enemies when they were old and weak.

Especially Hanzo...he almost became decadent in his later years because he lost his ambition.

Therefore, he was easily crushed by Nagato's Six Paths of Pain, who had the advantage in intelligence and power.

But no matter how bleak their later years are, we cannot ignore the legends they left behind during their peak years.

In this era before the Nine-Tails Rebellion broke out, it was the heyday of those two.

Orochimaru said: "The most terrifying thing about Hanzo is that he has mastered the three aspects of illusion, body, and ninjutsu to the extreme. Once he knows the enemy's intelligence, he can use extremely terrifying precision to counter and break through the enemy's weaknesses."

"Nagato-kun, in order to obtain blood samples from Fugaku's two children, you used Pain's Six Paths to infiltrate Konoha. With Konoha's current strength, I'm afraid a considerable part of your information has already been analyzed..."

"Danzo, who knows your identity and sees you as a thorn in his side, will pass on information about you to Hanzo, who has common interests with you. We can't completely rule out this possibility, right?"

"Ah, to be honest, I have already considered this possibility, but..."

Nagato turned his head and looked at Pei Ai who was standing like a door god.

The Six Paths of Pain can be updated, and past information is not applicable to the present.

Besides...Pain's Six Paths in the Konoha Battle were not displayed at all, not even the full power of the Six Paths of the Rinnegan.
