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

——Shinra Tianzheng!

"clang……!!"

All the kunai that attacked him were bounced away...

"Yoshi! The next step is to block the field of vision!" Scorpion's ten fingers changed, and a large amount of poisonous mist erupted from the Thousand Hands Martial Arts Device.

"The little girl is alone. This time, I will kill her for sure!"

The Third Kazekage formed a hand seal and a large amount of iron sand was released from his mouth!

"Is it coming? That move..." Perrin formed seals with her hands.

——Magnet Release·Sandite Shigure!

The iron sand floating in the air suddenly turned into fine needles and flew towards the lone Perrin with overwhelming momentum!

"If you can block it, then give it a try. The power and scale of this move... cannot be compared to the Needle Eight Wave!"

"Psychic art!"

"Oh!"

As Perrin performed hand seals, the person who appeared in front of him was...Pain, the Way of Heaven!

"Shinra Tenzheng!"

"Dang" the iron sand rain suddenly dissipated!

"She actually used psychic magic... to summon her companions!?"

Another unexpected ability, Scorpion was stunned for a few seconds!

Tiandao raised his hand and aimed at the Third Generation Kazekage hovering in the air!

"Not good!!!" Scorpion came to his senses and quickly controlled the Third Kazekage to build a sand iron wall defense! !

"boom……!!"

The sand iron wall collapsed after absorbing the power of Shinra Tensei, and it was impossible to reorganize the defense in a short period of time!

"Not good. If he hits me again, the puppets of the Third Generation will be unable to stop me!!"

Scorpion's expression suddenly changed, but... he didn't wait for the finishing blow!

"Why... didn't he attack again? This is a perfect opportunity to counterattack me!"

In a trance, Scorpion realized something.

"Could it be that...his move cannot be used continuously in a short period of time!?"

"If that's the case... here comes my chance!"

"Wow!" The free iron sand quickly condensed... turned into the shape of a triangular pyramid, and rushed towards the Heavenly Dao.

"As expected of a Scorpion, you react really quickly..."

Tiandao raised his palm.

“But it’s still a step too slow.”

——Shinra Tianzheng!

"clang……!!"

Seeing the broken iron sand triangular pyramid... Scorpion's face was gloomy.

"During this blank period, kill him now!"

Scorpion's ten fingers waved, and the third generation human puppet spread out the big knife in his right arm and rushed down.

Nagato stared at the approaching blade with the eyes of heaven, his mind racing.

"Nagato never used basic ninjutsu when fighting with Pain. I thought he didn't have it, but that's not the case. He was too proud of the power of the Rinnegan and the Six Paths of Pain. He thought he was invincible and forgot that ordinary people are also an indispensable force!"

"And I won't make his mistake!"

Pain Tendao, start to make hand seals!

——Water Style: Water Wave!

Wow! The explosive water that erupted from his mouth washed over the body of the Third Kazekage, blocking his approach...

Konan's eyes flickered: "That's Yahiko's best ninjutsu!"

"This is simply outrageous." Scorpion was completely impatient.

The iron sand around the Third Kazekage was in an unprecedented riot at this moment!

Tiandao stared at him and said, "Sand Iron Realm Technique, the ultimate secret of Sand Iron Magnetic Escape. The scale of this move is so large that even an ordinary Shinra Tensei would not be able to wipe it out in one go, so..."

"Pa!" Perrin formed a seal with her small hands, took a step forward, and slapped Tiandao on the back, "Zizi!" The spiritualist ritual imprinted... and extended!

This trick was inspired to me by Lolido through Ibiki!

Pain has no sense of pain, so I developed it into this technique for surprise attacks!

——Psychic magic: Dog bites and swallows the prison!

"Ah!" The head of the hellhound roared out from in front of Tiandao's chest, opened its bloody mouth, and unreasonably swallowed the puppet of the Third Kazekage into its stomach!

It happened too fast, too suddenly...there was no room for avoidance!

"Crack!!" The long thorns that emerged from the body of the Sand Iron Realm Law instantly turned the hellhound into a hedgehog!

“Boom!” Tiandao rushed forward and reached his arm into the hellhound’s flesh and blood, “Destroy it!”

——Shinra Tianzheng!

boom……! ! !

The hellhound exploded and died, and the sand iron storm created by the shattered sand iron world law swept up the fragments of the third generation wind shadow puppet and raged in the desert!

"These guys are definitely not human. It is absolutely impossible for humans to fight in such a chaotic way!"

A flash of inspiration suddenly appeared in Scorpio's mind!

"If these two guys, like my Fei Liu Hu and the Third Kazekage, are human puppets, then there must be a real body that is secretly controlling them!"

"Swish!!!" Its gaze suddenly turned behind it and found Nagato and Konan on the distant hill!

"Ha, hahahahahahahaha, I found you!!!" Scorpion showed a ferocious smile and rushed towards the hill!

"Nagato, he found us!"

Nagato sighed: "After all, he is the unrivaled puppeteer in the world. Only he can detect Pain's secret so quickly..."

"I see, that's what happened... Everything makes sense now!!"

While running, Scorpion lifted up his robe, revealing his transformed puppet body! "Scorpion died at the age of 35, and is now 19-20 years old. The age of his puppet body is 15 years old, so at this time, he has transformed himself into a human puppet."

"No matter what, you can't surpass me! I have transformed myself into an immortal puppet!"

"boom!!"

Scorpion leaped into the air, opened his back waist spiral slash, and attacked Nagato: "It's over!!"

"Tian Dao's ability has been temporarily thwarted by Pain, but..." Nagato raised his head, his Samsara Eye gleaming with light, "You are not the only one who can fight with your true body!"

——Shura Road!

Two mechanical arms suddenly emerged from Nagato's right shoulder. One of them strangled Scorpion's throat and cut his wrist. Mechanical cables like octopus claws emerged from it and tightly wrapped around Scorpion's body, making it impossible for him to use the puppet mechanism!

"What!?" Under Scorpion's horrified gaze, the other mechanical arm began to disintegrate. The precise mechanical structure transformed dizzyingly and turned into a mechanical hand cannon. It rotated close to Scorpion's face and began to accumulate energy with a "pop" sound...

——Ashura's Attack!

From the fluctuating purple light in front of him... Scorpion felt the breath of destruction.

"Who... are you?" Scorpion's pupils trembled. As a fellow operator, it was the first time he felt the dimensional gap in the same field!

He had no doubt that if the energy cannon in front of him was fired, the regeneration core in his chest, along with this puppet body, would be blown to pieces without leaving any slag!

"Are you satisfied now, Scorpio?"

"I lost, kill me!"

Scorpio has no temper and accepts defeat with a sincere heart.

Nagato looked at the dejected Scorpion in front of him and said, "You misunderstood Scorpion. I am not here to take your life. I just want to ask you about someone."

"Ah?" At first, Scorpion had a preconceived notion that the other party was from Sunagakure, who came to inquire about the whereabouts of the missing Third Kazekage.

Later, he realized that the other person was not from Sunagakure, so he thought that asking around was just a cover.

"Go ahead. I will tell you as long as I know the information."

it is good.

Nagato put away the Shurado mechanical armor, put down the scorpion, and asked in a loud voice: "The person I'm looking for is Orochimaru!"

Chapter 7 Hot Spring Time

Orochimaru.

When Nagato said the name, Konan's pupils were startled.

Scorpion laughed: "Hahaha, why did you think of coming to me to inquire about that guy?"

"Some gossip. There is a feud between you two, and you have been investigating his whereabouts. I don't know if it is true or not."

Scorpion's eyes darkened. "That guy is trying to use a living person's body to pursue the power of immortality. In my opinion, he is a pervert."

"How can a short-sighted person who has not even seen through the life and death of the flesh be qualified to pursue eternity? In my eyes, this is a blasphemy against eternity!"

"How can I tolerate such people living in this world?"

A gust of wind blew by, and Nagato looked at Scorpion calmly.

So that's how it is. Does Scorpion's evil thoughts towards Orochimaru come from his obsession with the 'eternal art'?

"Scorpion... The following is just my personal opinion, it does not represent the truth. Life and death are binary opposites. Orochimaru is obsessed with the eternity of 'life', while you are obsessed with the eternity of 'death'. Both of you have not yet transcended life and death."

"Nagato..." Konan looked at Nagato in disbelief, having never imagined that he could say such words.

Scorpion, because of Nagato's words, fell into deep thought for a long time, "Your point of view is very novel. Although I cannot fully agree with it, I will use it as a reference."

Nagato smiled, "As long as it helps you."

Scorpion said seriously: "I don't know where Orochimaru is hiding now. I only know that he defected from Konoha not long ago, but..."

Nagato calmly waited for Scorpion's next words.

"Orochimaru, before he defected from Konoha, he took in a war orphan named 'Kabuto Yakushi' as his right-hand man."

"But he doesn't know that Kabuto Yakushi is actually my man."

"Oh? How did he become yours?" Nagato asked curiously. This was mentioned in the original work, but the details were not given.

Scorpion said: "During the Ninja World War that just ended, Kabuto Yakushi was sent by Konoha's Danzo to travel around the countries as a spy."

"While he was wandering around the Wind Country, I felt that this guy's identity and abilities would be useful to me, so I implanted the 'Subconscious Sand' into his brain, just in case I needed it."

"What surprised me was that Orochimaru also took a fancy to him. For me, it was an unexpected gain."

"Through my subconscious sand manipulation, I can sense where Kabuto is currently, in the Kusagakure area."

Konan said: "In other words, Orochimaru is also in the Land of Grass?"

Scorpion shook his head and said, "No, Orochimaru's bases are spread across the five major ninja countries, and he is not with Kabuto all the time."

"But it is certain that Kabuto must know the whereabouts of Orochimaru."

"As long as I unlock the seal of the Sub-brain Sosaga, I can immediately let Kabuto pick me up and find out the whereabouts of Orochimaru!"

"I see. Scorpion, are you willing to help me find Orochimaru?"

"As the loser, I don't seem to have the right to refuse, right?"

Nagato smiled and said, "It's okay, you can refuse... Besides, you didn't use all your trump cards in this battle, did you?"

This guy... knows a lot about my affairs.

Scorpion pondered and said, "Okay, just for what you said, I will assist you until you find Orochimaru. But I don't like waiting for others, nor do I like to let others wait for me."

"Let's split up and meet at the Kusagakure Bridge in three days."
