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

Minato's expression became extremely serious. "During this period of time, I have been thinking over and over again, and I feel that there are still two words that cannot be avoided - "strength" plus "threat". Nagato's true strength is unfathomable, far beyond what the teacher and I have seen. In addition, he is very likely to have issued a threat to Fugaku and Shisui that is enough to make them afraid."

"Nagato's power made Fugaku and Shisui believe that even if they relied on me and the village's help, they would not be able to deal with the threat. That's why they chose to swallow their loss and keep silent."

Jiraiya clenched his palms and sighed deeply in his heart.

Nagato, the disciple I once knew well, seems to be getting farther and farther away from me. As a teacher, am I unqualified?

I thought of the prophecy of the big toad immortal again.

"Nagato, could he be the child of prophecy?"

All that needed to be said had been said. Seeing that the atmosphere was somewhat heavy, Minato quickly smiled and said in a light tone: "Teacher, Nagato's strength may not be a bad thing. If we can resolve his prejudice against Konoha and make him our ally, it will be a blessing for Konoha and the ninja world."

"I'm not being optimistic when I say this. At least at this stage, it proves that Nagato still has room for maneuver, isn't it?"

"Now that you mention it, that's true."

Jiraiya, not wanting to make the Hokage's disciple worry too much, ended the topic about Nagato.

An intriguing smile appeared on his face, "By the way, Minato, have you and Kushina read the "Intimate Paradise" that I gave you last time?"

"Cough cough cough...!!" Minato choked on the tea and his face turned red.

"Regarding that book, I, I can only say... You are worthy of being a teacher."

Of course there are some things he can't say.

After reading it, Kushina felt something immediately...but due to her current situation, she used an unexpected way to take Minato away.

Minato scratched his head and said, "Teacher, there is actually one more thing I want to say about Nagato."

"Oh? Go ahead."

"Nagato and your other disciple, Konan...will probably get married in the future."

"Eh? Konan!!" Jiraiya opened his eyes wide!

"That child... have you seen her?"

Minato said: "No, but I can see that in his heart, Konan has a position no less than that of Kushina in my heart."

"Is that so..." Jiraiya smiled in his heart: I never expected that Nagato was such a capable guy. Well, at least it proves that he still has a yearning for love between men and women in his heart. Perhaps, he really hasn't gone to extremes.

Jiraiya picked up the tea again.

Minato smiled knowingly and said, "Teacher... If there is a chance in the future, would you be interested in letting Nagato and Konan read your "Intimate Paradise" as well?"

"Cough cough cough...!!" Jiraiya choked, "Is this, is this realistic?"

Minato smiled and said, "You don't have to give it to them directly... just find a way to get your masterpiece into Amegakure. Since Nagato and Konan are the rulers of Amegakure, they will definitely have a chance to see it."

Jiraiya said worriedly, "But, the Hidden Rain Village is a closed village in terms of diplomacy and trade. My works cannot be circulated there."

Minato smiled and said, "This kind of thing...it's actually not that difficult if you think of a solution."

Jiraiya was curious: "Minato, why did you have the idea of ​​'cultural invasion'?"

Minato calmly took a sip of tea and said, "What cultural invasion? I just want to vigorously promote Jiraiya's masterpiece!"

What he was thinking was: The Book of Seals must not be given away for free! In that case, let me show you my teacher and I's desperate counterattack!

That’s right... people only think of him as Minato Namikaze, a gentleman, but when he starts to do bad things, nothing can stop him!

Chapter 96 Delegation of Tasks

"Asshole!!!"

In the Japanese-style room, Danzo knocked over the teacup in anger.

The subordinate who had just reported the bad news to Danzo was crawling in front of the table and buried his mask deep in the ground, fearing that at this critical moment, he would bring bad luck to the adult in front of him.

Just now, news came back that the sixth and seventh branches of the Root stationed on the outskirts of the Hidden Rain Village were completely wiped out, and their bodies were taken by masked men to the black market for gold.

Even Danzo, who always regarded the lives of his subordinates as worthless, was broken.

That is the combat power of two battalions. The total combat power of the Root is only eight battalions. This is equivalent to... one-fourth of the combat power of the Root. It is destroyed!

“…” But soon, Danzo regained his composure. He slowly sat back in the chair with a dark look in his eyes.

Akatsuki, Nagato... He is the only one who has the position and ability to do such a thing. As expected, he has already seized the Hidden Rain Village from Hanzo.

Even... he already knew that it was me who passed the information to Hanzo, and that we were trying to kill him with the help of both inside and outside forces.

If, he comes to take revenge on me.

He couldn't help but look down at his right arm wrapped in white bandages.

"No. There is no need to worry too much. I have the power of Izanami. He can't kill me."

"Oh, it's better to say that his coming to me is exactly what I want to see. If I can kill him, I will kill him. If I can't, I will use this opportunity to impeach Jiraiya for the consequences of his sympathy for ninjas from other countries, and use this to shake the rule of the Fourth Hokage, who is his descendant..."

But then again, Nagato now has the Hidden Rain Village as a strategic base, and he has the legal identity of the leader of the Hidden Rain Village, so it would be even more difficult to target him.

"Damn it. Although I'm unwilling, the actions against Nagato and the Rinnegan can only be postponed."

"That's good. During this time, we can let the Root recuperate and recruit combat power from the major clans of Konoha. In addition, we should continue to intensify the conflict between the Uchiha and the village."

"Izanagi is a consumable item... How can I maintain this wonderful immortal power for a long time without constantly replenishing my eyes?"

Danzo then looked at the Root member who was crawling on the ground.

"You, go down."

"Yes, Lord Danzo." The Root member felt relieved and stood up and walked out.

"Wait." Danzo called out to him.

"Sir, please give me your orders!"

"Pick up the teacups on the ground."

"Yes, my lord."

The man squatted down, carefully picked up the broken pieces of the teacup, looked up, and saw Danzo staring at him with chilling eyes.

"grown ups……"

Danzo said in a low voice: "You just saw me lose my composure."

"Crack!" Danzo's arm grabbed his throat!

“Danzo-sama… please calm down!! I will never tell anyone about what happened just now!!”

"Don't get me wrong. Just because of this, I won't kill my own men."

"But you are the first person to know that the 6th and 7th branches were annihilated, so we cannot rule out the possibility that you were manipulated by Amegakure Nagato under a genjutsu in an attempt to take my life. Therefore, I have no choice but to shut you up forever."

Danzo's two-finger seal!!

“Aaaaaaaah…!!”

Wind blades burst out, and the body of this root member was torn apart, and blood splattered on the door panel.

The guards in white standing outside the door had indifferent expressions, not even the slightest fluctuation in their eyes, as if they were used to all this.

……

After undergoing purification and cleansing, Darui, Samui and Xi reported to the first floor of the Hidden Rain Tower with a brand new mental outlook.

"Finally, this moment has arrived."

It has been nearly half a month since they arrived in Yugakure. Nagato was not in a hurry to meet them, but instead let them relax and relieve the fatigue of fleeing for the past few months.

During this period, they also learned that the Hidden Rain Village is now ruled by "God Pain" and "Angel".

The clever Darui was the last to realize it.

"Master Pain, they are those people with strange eyes who can't be killed no matter what. To be honest, the abilities they display have long surpassed the scope of ninjas. It is no exaggeration to call them gods."

Samui sighed, "How did such a powerful being gather together a legion?"

Xi said: "Compared to that, I am more concerned about who the angel is. From what people say, she seems to be a beautiful woman whose whole body is shrouded in holy light..."

At this time, Darui said: "Be quiet, someone is coming."

"clatter!"

Footsteps were heard in the corridor.

The three of them looked stern and held their breath.

At this moment... a flash of lightning illuminated the night sky outside the tower.

With the flickering light, the three of them saw... the giant man walking out from the shadows of the corridor! !

"Boom...!!!" After the lightning, rumbling thunder echoed, just like the vibration in their hearts!

Especially Darui... He subconsciously raised his left hand and covered the tattoo of the word "Thunder" on his right shoulder!

To him... the man walking towards him is not only the late Third Raikage from his hometown Kumogakure, but also his true teacher!

The reactions of the three people were all within Nagato's expectations.

He spoke through Pei Ai in a solemn and powerful voice: "Darui, Samui, Xi, after much thought, I still feel that using this body to welcome you is the best way to express my welcome to you..."

Just as Samui and Xi were both stunned, Darui had already bent his left knee.

"That really makes us flattered, Lord Third Raikage, no..." Darui raised his eyes and looked into Pai's eyes: "Lord Pain!"

"Yes, Lord Payne..."

Samui and Xi, also in fear and shock, knelt down on one knee.

Pei Ai said: "From now on, you will officially act as Rain Ninja and form a squad called 'Thunder God'. Darui, you will be the squad leader!"

Darui said respectfully, "Yes!"

Pei Ai placed a portrait in Darui's hand.

"This is your first mission. Go to the Land of Grass, find the woman in the portrait, and bring her back."

The portrait shows a red-haired woman who looks very kind.

"May I ask, is she a ninja?"

"No, just civilians."

Pei Ai said: "By the way, you must be careful about her safety, because she is a pregnant woman."

As a woman, Samyi couldn't help but say one more sentence: "Why do you go to so much trouble to bring back a pregnant civilian? Isn't this a bit too inhumane..."

Darui quickly reminded: "Samui, this is a mission, don't ask too many questions!"

Pei Ai smiled intriguingly and said, "It's okay. When you meet her, you will know the reason..."

Chapter 97: The Candidate for the Pulse Seizure

Early in the morning, in the bedroom of the tower, Nagato had finished washing up and was tidying up his appearance in front of the mirror.

Xiaonan stood quietly by, holding the neatly folded robe in both hands.

These days, Nagato would stay up late with Konan most of the time, but he could not resist Konan's persuasion and would take a nap every now and then.

"Yaoxi~!" After finishing tidying up, Nagato took the robe from Konan and put it on.

"Let's eat."

Arriving at the table, Nagato's eyes lit up. "Hmm, sandwiches, they are really rare! Is this a new item in Granny Tose's shop?"

Xiaonan said, "Let's try it and see how it tastes."

Nagato pulled a chair out from under the table and sat down, then looked at Konan, "Have you eaten?"

Xiaonan said, "Well, I'm a little hungry, so I ate my portion first."

Nagato thought: In the past, Xiaonan would always wait for me to eat together, but today she ate first. It seems that Xiaonan is really hungry...

"Then I'll start." Nagato clasped his hands together, picked up the sandwich, bit off the tip, and chewed.

"..." Konan watched Nagato's reaction closely and felt a little nervous.

"Hmm~ It tastes good." Seeing that Nagato was satisfied with the taste, Konan's brows relaxed.

Nagato took his second bite and continued to taste it, saying, "However, this kind of salad dressing with vegetables and fruits is not the type of dish that Granny Tose would try~."
