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

The noise of fighting outside was caused by their accomplices, who were covering for these two people.

To be able to ignore the Sand Village guards, invade the heart of the Sand Village, and even hide from the Kazekage and others, come to my home, and look for me by name, it must be organized and premeditated, and they must have left a way out.

A traitor from Amegakure? As far as I know, the only organization with relevant experience that could do such a thing is the one that was once a short-lived organization in Amegakure.

It seems that I shouldn't act rashly. Let's see what they are up to...

Soon, Chiyo placed the tea tray on the table and the teacups in front of the two of them.

Chiyo took a seat on the futon and stared at the two of them.

Nagato picked up the teacup, blew away the hot steam, and took a sip.

Grandma Chiyo said, "Young man, aren't you afraid that I will tamper with the tea?"

Nagato smiled faintly and said, "No matter how poisonous your poison is, it can't be more poisonous than the poison of the salamander, right?"

"Oh?" Grandma Chiyo raised her eyebrows: "So, you really know it."

Nagato was not surprised at all and said frankly, "It used to be."

Granny Chiyo said, "I never thought that the organization that disappeared would still have survivors. Then, the Akatsuki people would not hesitate to create a riot in my Sand Village in order to see me. What is the reason? Well, let me guess."

"Is it possible that one of your people was poisoned by Hanzo's salamander? I heard that I was Hanzo's old enemy, so I came here specifically to find an antidote?"

How amazing... This is almost the only answer that can reasonably explain Nagato's current motives. Without a God's perspective, Grandma Chiyo was able to think of this so quickly.

Really, Nagato has to admire him.

Nagato put down his teacup, "If that's the case, what would you do?"

Granny Chiyo said: "It's true that Hanzo is my old enemy, but Sand Village is not the enemy of Rain Village. The war is over. I have no position or intention to interfere in the internal fighting of other ninja villages..."

"If you want me to use the poison of the salamander to save your companions, you must get the order from the Kazekage himself, but..." Chiyo's eyes became sharp: "The Kazekage is fighting with the Sand Village and your accomplices right now, right? You are now invaders of the Sand Village."

"You said... Under this premise, is it possible for me to give you the antidote?"

"Since your motive is to save your own people, and you are polite when entering someone else's house, I won't make things difficult for you. Drink this cup of tea, take your people, and leave quickly. It is quite foolish to confront a big country ninja village."

Grandma Chiyo mercilessly ordered them to leave.

Nagato drank the tea in the cup slowly.

After putting down the teacup again, Nagato smiled and said, "You misunderstood, Chiyo-chan. My goal is not the antidote for the salamander poison, because the salamander Hanzo is already dead."

……

The tower is raining.

"..." After a brief silence, Obito didn't ask him "what was the matter" after all.

"Then I'll be frank, Nagato. Konoha's Nine-Tails Jinchuriki is about to give birth, and when the Jinchuriki gives birth, the seal will be unprecedentedly weakened. This is a good opportunity to release the Nine-Tails and destroy Konoha in one fell swoop. Aren't you determined to destroy Konoha? You didn't succeed before because the timing was not right, but this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. What do you think?"

Oh, I knew it...

Yahiko Tendō opened his Rinnegan eyes wide and looked at the tiger-skin mask covering Obito's face in disbelief.

——"Oh my god, did I hear you right? Mr. Madara, you asked me to...attack a pregnant woman?"

Chapter 139 Oh my God!

In the Sand Village, there was a deafening explosion and violent sandstorms hit the walls made of rammed earth.

The lights in the Japanese-style room flickered a few times.

Granny Chiyo finally came back to her senses from her shock.

She looked at the young man in front of her in surprise, his face seemed harmless.

"You said... Hanzo is dead?"

Nagato said calmly, "That's right."

"Who killed him!" asked Grandma Chiyo.

Nagato said calmly, "I."

"You killed Hanzo!?" Granny Chiyo stood up, her eyes wide open, filled with disbelief.

"Yes." Nagato replied calmly, picked up the teapot, and poured tea into his empty teacup. He glanced at Grandma Chiyo's teacup, which had not been touched from beginning to end.

"Mother-in-law, your tea is cold. I'll get you a new cup."

After saying this, without waiting for Chiyo's reply, he took Chiyo's cup, poured the tea into the waste bucket beside him, and filled a new cup.

Putting down the teapot and pushing the teacup in front of Chiyo, Nagato shook her own cup, sipping it slowly and waiting patiently. Grandma Chiyo came back to her senses from the shock of the facts.

“…”Finally, Grandma Chiyo sat back on the futon.

If Chiyo had heard those words at any other time or in any other place, she would have certainly sneered.

But the young man in front of him, wearing the forehead protector of the rebel ninja of the Hidden Rain Village, ignored the defense of the Hidden Sand Village, sat in front of him, drank tea, and talked calmly.

Language can be disguised, but momentum cannot be faked.

Granny Chiyo has seen countless people and is confident that she has this kind of judgment.

She raised her eyes and looked at Nagato again.

So that's how it is. I thought the red hair was just a coincidence. It seems that he has a close connection with the Uzumaki clan.

And... his eyes are different from ordinary people. I have only heard of this color and ripples. According to legend, the Rinnegan of the Six Paths Sage once appeared in the Rain Country.

From this perspective...it's not groundless.

She picked up the teacup in front of her, put it to her lips, and took a small sip.

After putting it down, her face regained its composure. "Really? Hanzo was killed by you. The ninja world is really full of talented people. Can you tell me your name?"

"Oh, I am sorry for being so rude." Nagato put down his teacup and said solemnly, "Junior, Nagato."

"Nagato. Since you didn't come to me for Hanzo's antidote, then I have nothing to give you. You should know that apart from medical ninjutsu, what I am good at is nothing more than some puppet tricks."

Chiyo's eyes turned deep: "These tricks should not be acceptable to the Samsara Eye, right?"

Nagato remained calm in the face of Chiyo's sudden verbal test. Since he had come in person, he did not want to hide the fact that he had the Rinnegan in front of Chiyo's mother-in-law.

For some reason, Scorpion, who was standing behind Nagato, quietly clenched his hands under his sleeves.

Now that all the cards have been revealed, it's time to... be honest and frank.

Nagato said: "Granny Chiyo, my eyes are indeed the Rinnegan. But... even with the Rinnegan, there are many things that are difficult to change."

"Today, I have gone through so much trouble to meet you, not for the antidote to the salamander poison, nor for your puppetry, but for another forbidden technique you have developed - Self-Reincarnation!"

"!?" As soon as Nagato finished speaking, Chiyo knocked over the teacup.

Her wide-open pupils were shaking with fear even stronger than when she heard about Hanzo's death!

"This is something only the Kazekage knows!!! How did you know this technique exists!!!"

But this one thing... Nagato couldn't tell him honestly.

He threw out the speech he had prepared long ago.

"My subordinate, Kabuto Yakushi, was once a multifaceted spy active in various countries. He infiltrated the Sand Village. You secretly developed this technique in order to give life to the puppets, but you couldn't hide it from his eyes and ears..."

Granny Chiyo suddenly realized: "So that's it, is it him, Kabuto, the spy from Konoha, who inherited the surname of the walking witch, Pharmacist Nono, who once infiltrated the Sand Village and once served as the captain of the Sand Village's medical corps. His level of medical ninjutsu is so high that even I am amazed. I didn't expect that even more sophisticated than medical ninjutsu is the ability of intelligence reconnaissance..."

"He... has become your subordinate now?"

"I'm sorry to make you laugh. Because he knows too much confidential information, even Konoha can't tolerate him. Let's just give him a place to stay."

"Since you know about 'Ji Sheng Zhuan Zhuan', you should know what kind of technique it is, right?"

"Yes, sharing one's own vitality in its original form is a way to sacrifice oneself and fulfill others..."

"Since you know this, then why do you want this technique?"

Granny Chiyo looked at Nagato seriously, "Based on your answer, I will decide whether or not to give you this technique. Let me tell you in advance, if your answer does not satisfy me, you can kill me and don't even think about me teaching you this. Also, I do not accept any threats, so don't threaten me with the Sand Village..."

"Okay, answer me."

"I, for..."

……

In the rain under the tower, Yahiko Tendō's questioning made the atmosphere drop to freezing point.

Attacking pregnant women...

Obito complained in his heart: This guy is always like this. Whenever I want to order him to do something, he finds a lot of moral reasons.

Before, I said I was mourning for Yahiko, and I also said I needed to take into account the relationship between master and disciple Jiraiya. This time, no matter what, I won't let him lead me by the nose.

So, Uchiha Obito said sternly, "That's right, they attacked the pregnant woman! That woman is Konoha's evil Nine-Tails Jinchuriki! She supports the balance of power among the big ninja villages! She gives the big ninja villages headed by Konoha the confidence to trample on small countries and villages at will!"

"That's right, that woman, Uzumaki Kushina! She and the evil offspring in her belly! They are the cancer that caused the ninja world to be in chaos! They are the original sins that should not exist in this world!!"

"Nagato, have you forgotten how your parents died? Have you forgotten how the Hidden Rain Village was devastated by the flames of war and shattered? Let's put aside Yahiko! Those companions of Akatsuki who once shared the same ideals with you are still alive today! And the great ninja village with Konoha as the evil leader, bathed in the pain of the small countries and the blood of those innocent people, has regained its glory after the war!"

"Boom!" Thunder and lightning roared, and Obito spoke loudly under the tiger-skin mask!

——"Nagato, as someone who is following the Mandate of the Six Paths and guiding you forward, I would like to give you a piece of advice: do not be too righteous and not considerate of the greater good!!!"

Chapter 140: Clinking glasses!

It seems like this guy is determined to make me his accomplice...

However, debating is Nagato's strong point.

He quickly found the loophole in Obito's logic.

After a little thought, he said through Pain Tiandao: "Mr. Madara, if I remember correctly, you have been lobbying me for a long time, and what you really want me to achieve is the Moon Eye Project, right?"

"so what?"

"You emphasized that there is no hope for this world anymore, and the only way to save it is to use an irresistible force to bring all of humanity into the dream of Infinite Tsukuyomi and achieve happiness."

"Although Yahiko was against it, both Konan and I were tempted."

"Then the question is, Mr. Madara, who holds such a lofty belief, should not care about anything in the world, so why would he say such bitter and hateful words?"

Obito's brows were deeply furrowed under the tiger mask: "You said I was bitter and resentful? The realization of the Infinite Tsukuyomi requires the power of the tailed beasts. Didn't I tell you that?"

Pain Tiandao said: "But you also told me that the tailed beasts need to be sealed in the order of one to nine tails, right? Now, you start directly with the nine tails. Aren't you putting the cart before the horse?"

Obito said, "Get the Nine-Tails first? Is that a problem?"

Pain Tiandao said: "Okay, that's good. After you catch the Nine-Tailed Beast, tell me how to place it? The Nine-Tailed Beast is the most powerful of the tailed beasts. How much manpower and material resources are needed to take care of it for a long time?"

"Well, even if it costs us time to do this, we have already established Konoha as a strong enemy. On the one hand, we are going to the five major countries to hunt tailed beasts everywhere, and on the other hand, we are dealing with Konoha's actions to recapture the Nine-Tails. Why do we need to do such a thankless thing?"

"..." Obito was speechless for a moment.

A playful look flashed across Pain Tiandao's eyes. "No way, no way, Mr. Madara, you are not going to use the name of the tailed beast to fulfill your personal grudge, are you? Oh, if I remember correctly, Mr. Madara was a person who competed with that Senju Hashirama, right? Do you have any personal grudges with the current Konoha?"

Obito said coldly: "Are you questioning me?"

Pain Tiandao shrugged and said, "No, I just can't figure it out. If it's the invincible Madara who wants to get the Nine-Tails, then just capture it! Just destroy Konoha, just destroy it!"

"Why? We have to wait until the time when someone gives birth."

Obito's hands clenched quietly under his sleeves.

At this time, Pein Yahiko changed the subject and said: "Well, it is understandable. After all, Mr. Madara, you once said that you were seriously injured in the battle with Senju Hashirama, and now you are just a shell of yourself."

"But a truly strong person, even if he loses his power, will never lose his demeanor as a strong person."

"So, Mr. Madara, as a truly strong man, could you please stop making these boring attempts on me?"

"That's right. You told me that the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki was about to give birth, and then you encouraged me with your words. You just wanted to test me and see if I would lose my overall perspective because of my hatred for Konoha, right?"

"Why do you have to do this? It's true that I did talk back to you about Yahiko and Jiraiya, but I never thought of leaving you and flying solo..."

For a moment, Obito was unable to find any words to refute Nagato's words.

Nagato cleverly set up a 'robber logic' that is difficult to refute, which is 'a truly strong man will not lose his demeanor as a strong man even if he loses his power'.

If Obito insisted on attacking Kushina who was giving birth, it would shake his identity as the 'strong Madara'.

Once Madara's identity becomes untenable, then everything he has said to Nagato as Madara will also become untenable.

From this point of view, it seems that Obito's only choice is to follow the excuse given by Nagato and say that this is a test for him.
