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

"That injection, it looks like it was injected directly into your body. Just in case, I mean just in case..."

She paused, clenched her hands on her waist, and said, "If he has bad intentions and does something wrong, it will be impossible to prevent him!"

Nagato said softly, "After these few months of contact, don't you trust him?"

Xiaonan shook her head slightly.

"In the past few months, he and Kabuto Yakushi have indeed not behaved abnormally, and they even get along quite well with us."

"However, this still does not change the fact that Orochimaru has dangerous ambitions and ideas."

"Nagato, he was forced by you to use force to help complete your second body plan after all."

Nagato added: "Half is force, half is truth. He is a man who is extremely eager for the truth."

Xiaonan shook his head and said, "I don't understand his pursuit of the so-called truth. I only care about the real risks!"

"Forget about Feng! After all, it is your second body. Even if Orochimaru has any evil ideas, at least it can't affect you."

"But... this time is different. That thing can directly affect you. I'm really worried!"

Having said this, Xiaonan raised her face. Her eyes were helpless and confused, filled with worry about gains and losses.

Her voice was also trembling slightly, "Because, I, I really have nothing left. Nagato, you are everything to me. I cannot bear the risk of you encountering any unexpected events because of this, so, so..."

Xiaonan looked so pitiful at this moment. After practicing "Night Flower of the Other Shore" for four months, she was exhausted both physically and mentally, like a piece of mutton-fat jade that would break if touched.

"Would you please not take that experiment?"

Nagato's demeanor was surprisingly calm.

How could he not know?

Konan's suspicion of Orochimaru was a completely objective and reasonable judgment based on her limited perspective.

And the starting point... is the concern for his life and safety.

It would be strange if Xiaonan didn't step forward to stop it at this time.

However, as a time traveler, Nagato has a more comprehensive understanding of Orochimaru.

Let’s put aside those high-sounding words like truth, pursuit, and bond for now.

Orochimaru knows people's hearts very well. How could he not see that Konan was still wary of him? He would definitely stop her.

If he really wanted to harm me, why would he bother taking out the injection in front of Xiaonan and just find me alone in private?

Okay, let’s assume that Orochimaru wants to do a reverse operation and deliberately take it out in front of Konan to dispel Nagato’s concerns... How can he be sure that he didn’t take any precautions?

The power of the Rinnegan still leaves Orochimaru with too many unsolved mysteries.

Orochimaru would have to be crazy to backstab him at this time.

Therefore, Nagato can be 99.99% sure that Orochimaru will not do anything. If that 0.01% happens, Nagato can only hope that man proposes, God disposes.

But Konan dissuaded him out of sincerity, and Nagato could not let her down.

He gently placed his hand on Xiaonan's shoulder and said softly, "Xiaonan, your worry is not unreasonable, but everything comes with risks. I choose to accept this risk. Can you help me check it out?"

"When Orochimaru gives me the injection, you will watch from the side. If I feel any discomfort, I will give you a look. Then, you will take action to subdue Orochimaru."

Xiaonan was still worried, "But...what if it can't be seen in a short time?"

Nagato's expression changed slightly, he slowly lowered his hand from Konan's shoulder, and took out a "scroll" from his arms.

"If that's the case, you open this scroll. This is the backup plan I reserved to prevent Orochimaru from betraying me one day. Now, I'm handing this backup plan over to you!"

"Nagato, you..." Konan looked into Nagato's eyes, unable to hide her shock.

Nagato smiled and said, "I said that half of my future depends on Orochimaru, so the other half is in my own hands. This way, you can rest assured, Konan."

"Yes." Konan nodded obediently, took the scroll from Nagato and put it in her sleeve.

"Let's go in."

In the lounge, Orochimaru put down his teacup and looked at the two people who had re-sat down, with a meaningful smile on his face, "Have you decided, Nagato-kun?"

"Whatever you've decided, let's get started." Nagato-kun said nonchalantly after taking his seat.

"That really makes me feel honored~."

Orochimaru stood up and walked to Nagato's side, then turned his gaze to Konan.

"Konan, how about I teach you the method and you do the injection yourself for Nagato-kun?"

Xiaonan's eyes were cold, and he said calmly: "No need, you are an expert in the field of cells and forbidden techniques, and my expertise is only origami and insignificant detonating talisman traps..."

"Swoosh~ (Is that so?)" Orochimaru smiled noncommittally and pushed the needle into the back of Nagato's neck, right next to the location where the black rod as the 'chakra transmitter' was buried. His thumb pushed the piston all the way in! Then he pulled out the needle.

The process takes less than ten seconds.

Nagato touched the place where the needle was inserted, "Is it over?"

Konan clenched her hands slightly under her sleeves, watching Orochimaru's actions closely.

Orochimaru smiled and replied, "Yes, it's over! Nagato-kun!"

Nagato carefully felt the changes in his body, but the expected drastic changes did not happen. Instead, there was only calmness and peace.

He looked at his palm and said, "I don't feel anything. Could it be that I have caused a failure?"

Orochimaru smiled and said, "Nagato-kun, do you remember what it was like when you awakened the 'Power of Whirlpool'?"

"..." Xiaonan's eyes drooped slightly.

And Nagato slowly clenched his hands.

Of course I remember it, it was like a thousand horses galloping!

I actually made that shameful statement in front of Xiaonan! Fortunately, she forgot about it completely afterwards, otherwise, my life would be ruined, completely ruined...

He wished he could seal away the shame with Six Paths Chibaku Tensei.

Orochimaru had no idea what Nagato was thinking.

He said: "The power has been drawn out, but it still needs an opportunity to explode..."

"understood."

Nagato thought: In other words... I have to 'explode' again? This time I will definitely not let that kind of shame happen again. I will just leave Konan with a handsome back view. That's enough.

"Buzz!" The door of the sterile room opened, and Kabuto walked out with a tired face, pushed his glasses and said: "Master Orochimaru, the placenta connection operation of "Maple" has been successfully completed!"

"Thank you for your hard work." Nagato stood up, put his arm around their shoulders and said, "Let me reward you two tonight!"

Chapter 66 Can’t stop!

The year-round rain makes open-air hot springs a luxury in the Hidden Rain Village.

The bathhouse built in a closed room has naturally become the first choice for leisure and relaxation.

After enjoying the local specialty meat buns with Orochimaru and Kabuto, they came to the southern area of ​​Yuyin, an inn with a large bathhouse.

"Excuse me." Nagato greeted politely as he walked in.

The proprietress of the hotel is a very charming woman.

She was wearing a plain kimono with a waist-hanging (a small pillow), her hair tied up in a high bun. She was kneeling on the tatami at the entrance, holding the slender pipe between two fingers and holding it in her mouth. She looked at the three people who walked into the hotel, and her eyes wrinkled slightly.

He asked tentatively, "Gentlemen, you are all new to me. Do you have any acquaintances who can introduce me to you?"

"no."

"If you don't have it, it's not easy. We only accept regular customers." The proprietress exhaled a puff of smoke and ordered them to leave. "Why don't you go somewhere else?"

"They are foreign guests invited by Lord Payne." At this time, Xiaonan walked in accompanied by Perrin!

"Angel!" Seeing her, the proprietress's cold attitude instantly changed 180 degrees!

She stood up and said flatteredly, "Really? These three are distinguished guests invited by the gods!!!"

"Yes." Xiaonan nodded with a smile, pointed at Perrin, and said, "As for this one, she is my personal maid, her name is Lily Bell~!"

"Hi~! Please give me your advice!" Perrin raised her little hand and greeted the proprietress playfully!

"Ah! I am so envious of having the honor of serving the angel!" The lady boss sighed, touching her bulging belly under her kimono, and said in a complicated way: "I wish my child would have this blessing when he grows up..."

The proprietress's husband, Tie, was a Genin from the Hidden Rain Village during Hanzo's rule. He died in the line of duty and left behind a posthumous child.

Xiaonan lowered his eyes and asked, "Have you thought of a name for the child?"

"Yeah." The proprietress stroked her belly gently, her eyes filled with the tenderness of maternal love.

"A Tie said that if it's a boy, we'll name him 'Forget Me Not', and if it's a girl, we'll name her 'Hydrangea'. We all hope that when the child grows up, he can grow up in a peaceful village without worries."

"Huh?" Perrin looked surprised when she heard the name.

She walked forward, bent over, pinched the chin of the cat-faced mask, looked closely at the boss lady's belly, and said, "It should be hydrangea."

The proprietress was surprised and asked, "Huh? How did you know that?"

"Hehe, this is not important." Perrin stretched out her little hand, gently touched the belly of the proprietress, and said softly: "Lord God will bless little Hydrangea, because peace is also Lord God's wish~!"

The proprietress held her slightly red cheeks in her hands and said flatteredly, "Oh my, that's really a blessing from you."

"Then let's go upstairs." Nagato led Orochimaru and Kabuto up the stairs.

At this time, the proprietress whispered, "Angel, do you need me to make special arrangements for a few masters..."

Xiaonan said: "This is not necessary."

The lady boss said, "Okay, okay, please enjoy your meal. We don't have any other customers today!"

"This is the fee for booking the entire place." Xiaonan took out a bunch of money from the Toad Wallet, a full 100,000 taels!

The lady boss's face suddenly changed: "How can this be possible! It is my honor that you choose our shop as a place to entertain foreign guests. How can I take your money? Please take it back!"

Xiaonan closed the proprietress's palm and said, "Take it. We will need it in the future and will come back again."

With that, she went upstairs with Perrin.

Looking at her back, the proprietress held the handkerchief with the mascot amulet sewn on it to her chest, tears welling up in her eyes as she said, "Ah, what a gentle and loving angel! I wonder how great and respectable that Lord Payne will be!"

She put up the 'Closed' sign.

"Ah, I've become so used to hot springs that I've overlooked the beauty of the large bathhouse!"

In the men's bath, Nagato embraced the bathtub, and the water, as tall as his body, poured onto the ground. In the rising hot steam, he finally had a frank face-to-face meeting with Orochimaru and Kabuto.

Orochimaru leaned against the edge of the bathtub, his long wet hair and his vertical eyes showed a sense of contentment that was rarely seen in normal times.

"It would be even better if we had a glass of soju at a time like this, what do you think, Kabuto~!"

Dou was standing not far away. After wiping off the moisture on the lenses of his glasses, he put them on his nose in a proper manner. "Your Excellency is right, but... I am not old enough to drink yet."

Nagato joked, "Kabuto, you are a traitor now, are you still abiding by these ninja rules?"

Facing Nagato, Kabuto still couldn't hide his reservedness: "Well, I..."

Orochimaru stroked the water and gently stroked his collarbone, smiling: "Nagato-kun, don't look at Kabuto like this, he is a very self-disciplined ninja. Even when he was a spy, he never violated the three prohibitions of ninja."

"I really admire this about him."

"Lord Orochimaru, you are too kind. How can I be as good as you say..." Kabuto was actually a little embarrassed by Orochimaru's praise.

Nagato seemed to be thinking about something.

Dou respects me, but he still can't let me go. Now is the opportunity.

He said, "Dou, let me rub your back."

"Eh?" Dou was startled. "Rubbing my back? How can this be possible?"

"It's okay, it's okay"

As he spoke, Nagato had already picked up the soap and the washcloth and stood up from the bathtub. He pointed to the small bench beside the bathtub and said, "Go sit over there!"

"Eh!? Eh!?" Kabuto reacted violently: "No! Absolutely not! How disrespectful! Lord Nagato, how can you stoop to rub my back!"

At this time, Orochimaru smiled and said, "Nagato-kun, it is indeed inappropriate for you to rub Kabuto's back yourself. If you want to get closer to Kabuto, you can let him rub your back for you."

Dou blushed and said, "Yes! Yes! That's all right!"

Nagato scratched his head and said, "Okay, then Orochimaru, let me rub your back."

Orochimaru smiled and said, "Well, I'll be sorry to refuse. However, it seems that no one cares about Kabuto's back. I have a suggestion. Nagato-kun, what do you think..."
