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

Chapter 72 Konan and Kakuzu

The bathroom in the boudoir in the Yuyin Tower.

Xiaonan stood under the shower, letting the clear water flow over her flawless body.

On her taut belly was a belly button ring given to her by Nagato.

Three inches below the navel is where the chakra meridians of the human body converge, also known as the "root chakra".

She could feel that Nagato's chakra was participating in the flow of her chakra in a gentle way.

It wouldn't cause her any harm, and it would effectively relieve her sleepiness.

"This way, I can focus on helping Nagato for the next month..."

After turning off the water valve, she went to the mirror and looked at her true appearance after taking a bath for the first time in a long time.

Of course, she knew that she was a real beauty.

After drying the water droplets on her body and putting on the fishnet underwear, she sat down on a chair nearby, slowly put on the light purple tights along her slender legs, put on the backless top, reached behind her and zipped up the back.

Coming to the mirror, she used a light foundation to cover the black spots that had spread around her eyes, adjusted her bun, picked up a light blue paper flower at hand, and put it on the right side of her hair.

He stood up, took down the robe hanging on the wall, wrapped it around his body, and tied the forehead protector of the Hidden Rain Village on the right side of his waist.

"Yao Xi." He raised his hand and gently patted his face, cheered himself up, and walked out.

"How is it? Is it difficult to master the technique?"

Nagato put down the scroll of "Earth Grudge Technique" in his hand and said with a smile: "It's probably half as difficult as the incomplete version of Flying Thunder God. Three days is enough for me to master it!"

Seeing that Konan's complexion had obviously improved, Nagato felt relieved.

"Okay, then you concentrate on your research. I'll go meet that short-lived gentleman."

In the small house in the southeast corner of Yugyukyu, Kakuzu was looking over the accounts of Yugyukyu Village since the Third World War. After accepting the reality, he has stepped into the role of financial manager.

Looking at the shocking expenses, Kakuzu was furious: "Hanzo, that scoundrel, has used almost all the post-war aid funds to defend his own palace and raise assassins. From the changes in the numbers in these accounts, I can see his cowardly nature!"

"Humph, he's still the top of the ninja world. If I had known he was such a person, I would have done the same thing to the first Hokage and taken his head worth 8000 million with my own hands!"

Jiao Du dipped his fingertips in saliva and turned to the next page.

"Creak!" At this time, the wooden door opened.

Along with the sound of the door opening, a cold greeting came.

"Hanzo's head is not something you can take off easily."

Looking at the blue-haired woman who walked in, Kakuzu's dark green pupils flashed with embarrassment.

It was because he looked at this woman for a second longer in the forest of Tiantian Country that he ended up in his current state.

For a mere 20 million, he sacrificed most of his life's business, and was forced to continue running the business after his death, becoming an accountant in this poor little village!

That was truly the most unprofitable deal he had ever made in his life!

This exquisite-looking woman in front of him... is a plague and a jinx to Jiaodu!

Jiao Bu teased politely: "Hehe, you are the so-called 'Angel' in the eyes of the villagers. It happens that I have a question to ask you."

He pointed at the account book with his finger and questioned, "After you took over Yugakure from Hanzo, the daimyo of the Rain Country allocated 160 million taels of aid. In less than four months, why is there only million taels left?"

Xiao Nan said calmly, "It's 140 million taels. Last night's meal and bath cost another 20 taels."

"What did you say!!" Kakuzu stood up suddenly, rolled up his sleeves, and revealed his pitch-black fists!

"Kakuzu, please understand. We were all orphans from the Hidden Rain Village. We've had enough of the hard times and are tired of poverty. We don't want to live a frugal life anymore."

Pei Ai strode in.

Seeing him, Kakuzu sat back down.

"You have been fighting for half your life, so it is understandable that you enjoy yourself, but even a skilled cook cannot cook without rice."

"Don't be impatient. As the saying goes, everything is difficult at the beginning."

"You make it sound so easy, my boss. A village with a population of 140, including civilians and ninjas, has only million ryo in the public account. How did you manage to do that?"

Seeing Kakuzu's difficult situation, Paie felt a little sorry.

"Just now, I killed a group of Konohagen members outside the village. Unfortunately, their heads are probably not worth much, right?"

"You mean... the roots of Konoha?" Kakuzu's eyes suddenly lit up!

"Yes."

"Where is the body!!"

"The morgue is preparing for centralized cremation!"

"What, you idiot!!! Take me there, quick, quick, quick!!"

Several people hurried to the outside of the morgue.

Fortunately, the boilerman who was handling the corpse in Yuyin had diarrhea, so Gen’s body had not been cremated yet!

Looking at the bodies that filled the entire hall, Kakuzu was suddenly excited, "So many!!!"

Xiaonan asked in doubt: "It is said that the ninjas of Konoha Root are all trained from a young age. They don't even have their own names. They wear masks when they act. Naturally, they can't be on the bounty list. Can they be exchanged for money?"

Similarly, this is also Nagato's question.

"Generally speaking, that's true. However, the members of the Root are special." Kakuzu squatted beside the body of a Root member, put on gloves, pried open his mouth, pulled out his tongue, and said deeply.

"The leader of the Root, Danzo, will put the Tongue Curse Seal on the tongue of every Root member. The existence of this curse seal is only related to the life and death of Danzo himself."

"This is equivalent to the anti-counterfeiting mark of the root member."

"Being chosen by Danzo, who symbolizes the darkness of the ninja world, to join the Root is in itself a recognition of his value as a ninja."

"So, in the black market gold exchange, every certified root member's body is clearly marked with a price, which is uniformly 500 million taels."

Kakubu took the trouble to "identify" all the recovered Root member bodies present one by one.

"This is a pity."

All members have been confirmed, except Ren Yin whose head was blown up, all others have been certified.

He looked around the room, his eyes gleaming with light.

"71 root members, with a total value of 3 million taels. If we add my own head worth 5500 million taels, then 4500 million taels will be enough as start-up capital!"

Pei Ai said, "Well, I have to say first, I still need your body, and I can't let you exchange it for money."

"Well, 3 million is barely enough..."

At this time, Xiaonan said: "I have to leave 2 million taels for our daily living expenses in the next six months..."

"You are simply..."

Angel? Haha, I really saw a ghost...

Kakuzu's face suddenly became filled with bitterness and hatred.

Never mind. It's my fault.

If, if that day...if I hadn't chased Yusuke to Tianzhikuni!

"I only have one request, don't let me see Yusuke's face again!!"

Pei Ai said, “Okay.”

"Eh?" Kakuzu was surprised and said, "I, I was just talking, did you really agree?"

Pei Ai smiled amiably: "Of course, Kakuzu, you are now my important subordinate, the hope for the rise of the Hidden Rain Village!"

Kakuzu, for a moment, was actually flattered.

Nagato thought: Haha, that’s perfect… Pain’s human world, I also want to officially change it!

Chapter 73: Payne’s Human Road, the Selection!

Under the Yuyin Tower.

The King of Hell stopped chewing, opened his mouth wide, and spit out the ashes of Ren Yin's shattered body, along with the corpses of Wuming Hanzo's remnants who died with their eyes open!

Several black sticks can still be seen in the dust.

"Sure enough, it failed." Nagato put away the King of Hell and pinched his chin, thinking.

Xiaonan asked curiously: "Why did you suddenly come up with the idea of ​​using the Impure World Reincarnation to create Pain?"

Nagato smiled and said, "The Impure World Reincarnation already has an immortal body. I thought that if I became Pain, I wouldn't need to rely on the Hell Realm to be resurrected. Am I overthinking this?"

This is a lie.

The reason why Nagato made this attempt was because in the original work, Obito personally performed it and used the Impure World Reincarnation to create the Six Paths of Pain.

But the sample selected by Obito was very special. It was the former Jinchūriki who was resurrected by Kabuto Yakushi through the Impure World Reincarnation, and he also used the power of the Outer Path Demon Statue.

Then, maybe it can't be used as a general rule, so Nagato came out to verify it.

Sure enough, the Six Paths of Pain is a special case that can only be born under special conditions!

They must be former Jinchūriki, so that they have excellent compatibility with the chakra of the tailed beasts in the golems. Only then can they use the black stick combined with the lock of the outer path golem to forcibly compress the chakra of the tailed beasts into the bodies of the six Impure World Jinchūriki and realize their manipulation.

In the above links, Obito's role is secondary, and the golem is the basis of control.

It is no wonder that Obito's black stick of the New Six Paths of Pain has a suppressing power that exceeds that of Nagato Pain's Six Paths. Even just touching it from the outside will make someone unable to move.

It's not because Obito can display stronger eye power than Nagato with just his single eye, but... he just took advantage of the Gaiden Demon Statue that sealed the seven tailed beasts.

After disproving the Six Paths of the Impure World Pain, Nagato had a clearer idea.

Underground experimental base.

Paie is communicating with Orochimaru face to face.

"Sure enough, the guy I'm interested in needs to find his body and make Payne step by step."

Pei Ai propped his cheek with his fist and changed the subject, "But that fellow is not like me, who died not long ago. He died during the First Ninja World War. He was a ninja in the past life. His body must have rotted in the soil long ago. Humph, just like the Will of Stone in the Hidden Rock Village!"

Orochimaru looked at the giant man sitting opposite him with a pleasing look.

Recently, he discovered a wonderful little detail!

The personality that Nagato-kun shows through each Pain is subtly different. In Tendo Yahiko, he shows more of the calm and cold side of his personality, in the beastly Dorin, he shows the lively and naughty side, and in the Shurado Third Raikage in front of him, he is a tough guy...

What kind of growing environment created such a lively and interesting soul for Nagato-kun? Hum, I'm really curious...

"xu~!" Orochimaru lowered his head and took a sip of tea slowly.

A hoarse voice sounded, "The Second Tsuchikage, Muma, the one chosen by Nagato-kun, Pain Human Path."

"That's right, let's not talk about Dust Escape for now! That guy's 'Dustless Misai' is a perfect match for the Human World Path! The Light and Heavy Rock and Heavy Rock Techniques are even more amazing skills for assists!"

"It is no exaggeration to say that the strategic significance of that guy is not even less than this 'Pein', but... the Impure World Reincarnation cannot turn him into Pein."

"Hehe, there's no need to worry about that, Nagato-kun." Orochimaru put down his teacup and flicked his black hair: "After all, the Hidden Rock Village has the ancient 'anti-corrosion technology' of pyramid burials. The body of Lord Mu should be well preserved!"

"Hmm?" A strong light suddenly burst out from Pei's eyes: "Really? Was the body of the first Tsuchikage, Ishigawa, also preserved?"

Orochimaru smiled and shook his head: "Maybe, but the bodies of the first-generation Kages were buried secretly by each village. It is the highest secret of each village. Not even the current Kage knows where they are buried. Even I haven't collected any information. In addition to the burial place of the first Hokage, Senju Hashirama, there are burial places for the other four first-generation Kages."

"Is that so..." Nagato thought: No wonder, in the Fourth Ninja World War, even Kabuto Yakushi was unable to revive the first-generation Kages of various countries and villages through the Impure World Reincarnation.

Well, things that can be seen and touched are more practical.

"You know where Wu is buried, right?"

"Hmm... I know. The Land of Earth, the Immortal River at the foot of the Hidden Rock Village. And the pyramid is not on the ground, but buried a hundred meters underground with a special spell. Once the spell is triggered, it will make an earth-shattering sound. The difficulty of this journey is probably no less than the battle of Yunmen Valley."

Pei Ai looked thoughtful and said, "Is there any way to avoid causing any disturbance?"

Orochimaru said: "Yes, there is, but... it requires the help of 'Senjutsu' to do it."

Magic?

No wonder, in the original work, Kabuto Yakushi was able to deceive the world in this way and successfully obtained the life substance of "nothingness".

Orochimaru asked intriguingly: "Nagato-kun, do you want to obtain the power of immortal arts?"

"There's no rush for this."
