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

Just when Orochimaru and Nagato were shocked by the results of the experiment...something unexpected happened again.

The experimental subject 'Pain' was finally out of control of Nagato and died of natural causes!

Yes...the experimental subject was already on the verge of death, and his lifespan was not affected at all by turning into Pain!

It's simply... like, letting Nagato's consciousness take over and completing the life process that was supposed to take place!

What on earth was going on? Of course, Nagato, who claimed to know everything about the Naruto world, especially the Samsara Eye, was frightened by this unknown phenomenon.

He seemed to be able to understand...why Orochimaru was so fascinated by the truth and the unknown!

The unknown is not only accompanied by fear, but also by an extreme desire to find out. Yes, curiosity is a human instinct. For people with high spiritual pursuits, it is even greater than the basic needs of food, sex and nature.

Orochimaru is such a person with high spiritual pursuits.

After solemnly burying the experimental subject, Orochimaru pondered for three days and suddenly asked Nagato a question!

"Nagato-kun, is it true that the Rinnegan only has the power of the Six Paths?"

This question was earth-shattering!

At that time, Nagato forced himself to remain calm and did not show any sign of losing his composure.

"As far as I know, in addition to the six powers of the Samsara Eye, there is also the seventh 'Outer Path Power'. The Outer Path Power transcends the cycle of life and death."

"In the future I saw with the Ayahashi, Madara gave me the Rinnegan for the purpose of using the power of the Outer Path and the Natural Power of the Rinnegan to revive him."

"Is that so? Nagato, my initial guess is that the miraculous phenomenon that occurred to that experimental subject came from this mysterious 'outer power'."

In fact...when Orochimaru asked that question, Nagato had the same guess in his mind.

The power of heretics? Indeed, only heretics who have transcended the cycle of life and death can do such a thing, right?

Orochimaru's exploration of the truth is based on an extremely rigorous attitude.

The above is just a preliminary hypothesis.

Could it be that not only vegetative patients, but also healthy living people can be Pain?

We can't rule out this possibility.

The remnants of Hanzo who sneaked back to the Hidden Rain Village became the second experimental subject.

As a result, the other party was not successfully made into Payne.

Orochimaru came to a further conclusion: "It seems that to trigger this phenomenon, only a plant can do it? Could the truth behind this be what Nagato-kun said, the power of the Rinnegan Outer Path? Hmph, the truth awaits further exploration."

Orochimaru was unable to come to a definite conclusion.

However, as the holder of the Rinnegan, Nagato was able to determine based on his own feelings that the phenomenon was caused by the power of the outsider!

In the original work, when Nagato and Naruto reconciled and were about to activate the Rinnegan Technique, Konan said that Nagato was the seventh Pain who controlled the cycle of life and death.

It seems that the role of the external path is not only to activate the "Art of Reincarnation", but also has other unexpected uses.

The phenomenon that happened to the experimental subject... is one of them.

Back to the topic, Orochimaru was not able to completely solve the mystery behind the phenomenon, but the existing results are enough to solve the existing problems.

The second body should be a living person with the potential to grow, and at the same time, be able to completely synchronize Nagato's consciousness like the Six Paths of Pain.

"All we need to do is make a slight adjustment in the genes, let it be born as a vegetable, and synchronize its consciousness at birth using Payne's method!"

That’s right, the second incarnation is also “Gateway Pain”!

(I have spent quite a lot of space to explain this, but there is no other way. ‘Consciousness’ is a very important issue and it is necessary to explain it clearly. I hope you will not find it superficial.)

Come back to the present moment.

Xiaonan looked at the little life in the vessel in front of him, which was about to evolve into a long gate, and an indescribable wonderful feeling surged in his heart.

She said hopefully, "Nagato, can you give this other you a name?"

Nagato walked over to Konan and looked at 'himself' with her, "There is no other me. This is also me, the same me."

Xiaonan said, "Take it. After all, they are two different bodies. It's better to distinguish them."

"Hmm." Nagato pinched his chin, thought about it seriously, and his expression changed slightly.

He put down his hand and said softly: "Then, let's call him 'Feng'..."

Chapter 64 A shocking 'little gift'!

"Feng?" Xiaonan's eyes were filled with curiosity. "Why is your name Feng?"

Nagato said bluntly with a faint smile on his face, "Because this life form will carry my ambitions and beliefs, blooming like a maple leaf with fiery colors, and in the end, it will wither and become my strength."

"So that's how it is." Looking at the young life in the vessel, Xiaonan's eyes were a little complicated. Only now did she completely understand why Nagato insisted that Kaede be like Pain and completely synchronized with his consciousness.

That is both cruel and merciful.

'Maple'? This second body, which carries the truth of my current stage and the potential of Nagato-kun's future, is indeed a name with a good meaning."

Orochimaru sighed inwardly and said seriously, "Next, Kabuto will use medical ninjutsu to connect the artificial placenta cultured with Hashirama's cells to Kaede through the umbilical cord. To ensure that everything goes well, the operation will be performed in a sterile chamber."

He pressed the remote control in his hand, and the power of the culture dish was switched to "battery power supply". The base slowly rose and rollers appeared underneath.

He walked forward and unplugged the cable of the culture dish, then pushed it carefully and transferred it to the sterile warehouse.

As they passed by, Xiaonan asked worriedly, "Kabuto, can your left hand perform high-precision medical ninjutsu?"

Kabuto said: "Please rest assured, I have completely adapted to the Shura Daoyi Hand given to me by Lord Nagato, and it will definitely not affect the accuracy of medical ninjutsu." (The previous suggestion of Orochimaru to transplant Hashirama's cell arm to Kabuto has been deleted)

Xiaonan said: "That's good, please."

The door of the sterile room slowly closed.

The three of them came to the rest area and sat down.

After Konan came back from making tea, she asked Orochimaru worriedly, "Now that Kaede has the placenta, Nagato really doesn't need to provide him with blood regularly, right?"

Orochimaru said, "Don't worry. The nutrients needed for the embryo's development will be provided by the placenta. We just need to monitor the fetal heart rate regularly and welcome Kaede's birth!"

"Oh, thank you for your hard work. Have some tea." Konan put down the brewed tea and sat next to Nagato.

Nagato picked up the teacup and shook it gently. The tea that Konan brewed herself required a sense of ritual before tasting it.

While he was performing the ritual to Xiaonan, he was also caring about the white moonlight in front of him.

"Orochimaru, you and Kabuto have been working non-stop in this dark underground for the past three months. You haven't had a good rest, right?"

Orochimaru picked up the tea bowl with one hand, slightly covering his mouth, and started drinking... You know what, he was quite elegant.

Putting down the teacup, Orochimaru said calmly, "There's nothing we can do about it. The embryo needs extra care in the first three months, and there can't be any mistakes."

"xu~!" Nagato lowered his head and took a sip of tea, smacking his tongue, allowing the tea to fully soak into his throat, until a hint of throat rhyme came, and he showed a comfortable expression.

After taking a few sips of sex, he reluctantly put down the teacup and said, "From now on, go to the surface from time to time. You'll get suffocated if you stay here all the time."

"As for Madara, you don't have to worry. At least in this small piece of land called Rain Hidden Village, I have the ability to guarantee your absolute safety."

Konan picked up the teapot, refilled Nagato's tea, and then added some to Orochimaru's teacup.

Faced with Nagato's proposal, this time, Orochimaru did not refuse or reject it.

Indeed, before the second body is born, everything that can be done has been done. All that is left now is to keep calm and wait patiently.

In addition, it is time to relax and adjust after the energy and fatigue consumed in recent days.

Putting down the teacup again, Orochimaru smiled: "By the way, it's time to fulfill the little gift I mentioned last time~."

He took out an injection from the freezer behind him.

"I cultivated and purified a portion of the artificial somatic cells of Hashirama that No. 1 brought back. Nagato-kun, I reserved this for you."

Nagato's eyes darkened slightly: "You mean... I want to transplant Hashirama Senju's cells?"

He had actually considered this issue carefully before he came into contact with Orochimaru.

The result of his consideration was that he would not accept the transplant of Hashirama's cells.

There are three reasons.

First, the Uzumaki clan's physique, after being developed to the extreme, is not inferior to that of the Senju.

Second, the mechanism by which Hashirama cells act on receptors is too similar to that of "cancer cells". Once the receptor loses control of it, the Hashirama cells will proliferate wildly until they have completely devoured the receptor's own cells.

Third, anyone who has Hashirama's cells transplanted 'after birth' will have the face of Hashirama Senju appear on his body.

Especially the third point, which Nagato could not accept the most, was not just a matter of affecting the visual experience. In his opinion, the appearance of Hashirama's face was also a manifestation of the distortion and pathology of cells in expression, destroying the original coordination of their own cells! Absolutely, absolutely not a serious way, in the long run, the disadvantages outweigh the advantages!

But refusing to inherit Hashirama's cells does not mean that he refuses Hashirama's power.

Therefore, he specially cultivated 'Maple' this second body, not through the method of transplantation, but to gather the elements of the Six Paths that Nagato's body did not possess 'innately'. When the time was right, he would let Nagato be compatible with 'Maple' who had the same genetic base and step into the realm of the Six Paths.

It is precisely because he is well aware of the pros and cons of this that Orochimaru, as a cell researcher, was so amazed when he heard Nagato propose the idea of ​​a second body. He temporarily put aside his selfish desires and truly wanted to promote this plan and obtain the supreme truth from it!

Therefore, at this moment, Nagato really didn't understand the purpose of Orochimaru preparing this "little gift", but he thought that it should be a good intention.

"Nagato-kun, this is not a transplant~"

Just as he was about to decline, what Orochimaru said surprised him.

"Not a transplant? What is it?"

"It's more like an introduction."

"Introduction?"

Orochimaru slowly raised his lowered eyes and said, "Yes, draw out your Thousand Hands power!"

"I am from the Uzumaki clan, where does the power of the Thousand Hands come from?"

"You really don't know it yourself." Orochimaru smiled slightly and said shockingly: "Nagato-kun, you are a member of the Uzumaki clan, but you are different from the ordinary Uzumaki clan. You are even a descendant of the Senju!"

"Ah?" For a moment, even Nagato himself was confused. (Pictures to follow)

Those were the original words that Jue said to Obito, and that's how Nagato himself understood it. Nagato was from the Uzumaki clan, and this clan was originally a distant relative of the Senju clan.

After all, distant relatives and descendants are two similar words that are difficult to distinguish. I believe that most people would understand it the same way as Nagato.

But... Orochimaru clearly expressed that this was clearly not what he meant.

He said solemnly: "Nagato-kun, this is the conclusion I reached after analyzing your blood and cells. Your cells contain both the 'Power of the Whirlpool' and the 'Power of the Thousand Hands'!"

"It's just that... the 'Power of the Whirlpool' has manifested, while the 'Power of the Thousand Hands' is deeply dormant!"

Holy shit??? Is this true? Am I really a descendant of the Thousand Hands???

The sudden and heavy news stunned him, but he quickly adjusted his thoughts.

No wonder Nagato was chosen by Madara. Although there were few survivors of the Uzumaki clan, there were still some. But he was chosen when he was still a child! So that's how it is. Everything makes sense...

"What will happen if we draw it out?"

"If you use this Thousand Hands power to activate Wood Release, you can use it to the level of a 'Wood Dragon'. If you use it to amplify the 'Six Paths of Pain' Technique', you can increase the 'Chakra Transmission Distance' of the Six Paths of Pain's Technique by several times. If you use it for regeneration and healing after injury, then as long as it is not a fatal injury, you do not need to cast a seal and you can recover from the injury in a very short time. But the effects are not limited to the above..."

"Anyway, how you use it is entirely up to you, Nagato-kun!"

Chapter 65 Still unfinished

"What do you think? Are you moved, Nagato-kun?" Orochimaru waited for Nagato's reply with an unsatisfied smile.

Nagato's pupils hidden among his red hair flickered slightly.

What reason does he have not to be moved?

"I..." Just as he was about to speak, Xiaonan's hand pinched his sleeve.

Nagato understood the look in her eyes; it was a look that said she had something to say but was not comfortable saying it out loud.

So, he said calmly: "Orochimaru, I have to excuse myself for a moment."

Orochimaru smiled and picked up the teacup, "Well, please~."

Came to the corridor outside the experimental base.

Konan leaned against the wall, head slightly lowered, "Nagato, to be honest, I don't want you to undergo this experiment."

Nagato had expected this, and he asked calmly, "Well, why?"

Konan said with a worried look on her face, "The risk is too high. Regardless of whether what Orochimaru said, that you are a descendant of the Senju, is true or not."
