In Konoha, Naruto lies down

"Forget it, we'll have to find another way." Konan looked at Naruto with a blank expression on her face. "I'll handle repelling the invaders. I'll give you the receipt and evidence, and you can go back and report."

"That won't work. Once you're here, you have to complete your mission before leaving." Naruto refused decisively. "I can try to mediate, but they just won't listen to me."

"What's the difference?" Xiaonan asked.

On the top floor of the tallest building in the Rain Country.

Nagato sat silently on the Iron Throne, the Outer Path Demon Statue behind him already retracted. Konan stood beside him, a white paper rose pinned to her hair.

After the rain, the sky cleared up and golden light reflected in from the window, illuminating half of the top floor of the palace.

"Although I am a small figure with little influence, the other major powers may not necessarily listen to me. But I still have to do my job. Although I can't mediate, I can deter them."

"Deterrence?" Konan glanced up and down at Naruto, as if thinking about the feasibility of this proposal.

"No, no, it's not me." Naruto knew at a glance that Xiaonan was thinking the wrong thing, and thought to himself that he was not Long Aotian, and pretending to be cool would bring bad luck.

The last time he was on a mission in the Hidden Rain Village, he didn't do much, pushing Jiraiya out to draw fire. He told everyone that Jiraiya was still sharp and had defeated Pain single-handedly.

Indeed, he was just a bystander. His only use was probably providing negligible intelligence support and being a marginal observer.

The motivation for being so low-key is definitely not just about not wanting to be famous, although this is also a consideration. After all, people are afraid of being famous just like pigs are afraid of being fat.

But the more far-reaching consideration is...the fear that the small Uchiha will be exposed.

After doing so many inhumane things as Uchiha Sasuke, I would occasionally feel a chill down my spine. Fortunately, I would change my mind and realize that the merits were not my own, and I would feel relieved.

It is precisely because of the consideration of severing cause and effect that one should avoid being implicated in any major cause and effect, which would create a butterfly effect and destroy one's plan of pure love.

"What I mean is...just heal Nagato." he said.

This time, Konan and Nagato remained silent. They both turned and stared at Naruto for a few seconds. There was a hint of surprise in their eyes, as if they thought this statement was a bit absurd.

........

In the Land of Rain, it rains year-round. It rains for almost 300 of the 365 days. The days of clear skies are rare, like just now, when it was sunny for less than half a day before it started raining again.

In this country made of steel, the tower has absolute majesty.

into the night.

The invading enemy looked up at the dilapidated buildings blurred in the rain, and could easily see the tall steel tower in the distance that was glowing with light and reaching into the sky.

There is a dilapidated street somewhere in the village. Few people walk here even during the day, but this is one of the only ways to enter the Hidden Rain Village.

At this moment, the doors and windows on the street were closed, there was no one on the road, and nothing could be heard except the sound of rain.

The streets were enveloped in a solemn and murderous atmosphere, so much so that the invaders felt their hair stand on end as soon as they stepped in, and almost stopped in their tracks.

Those eyes hidden in the night showed their heads in the rain, and more than a dozen ninjas appeared in a flash of lightning. Suddenly, a white figure appeared in the rain, with a pair of huge wings behind it.

Naruto, wearing a Rain Country forehead protector, was among a group of Rain Country Chunin. His entire body was covered in a raincoat, and his face was completely invisible in the darkness.

He is a Chunin by nature and does not need to pretend. The temperament of a Chunin is natural.

Konan had a blank expression on her face. She didn't even want to look at Naruto, and her eyelids were twitching. She thought to herself that what Jiraiya said was right: no one knows a disciple better than the master.

This guy really has no shame. He just wears the Rain Country forehead protector and hides himself among the Chunin group, hiding his evil intentions and waiting to harm the enemy.

The other party confirmed that there were only about ten people on the opposite side, and looking at Xiaonan who was hovering in the air, he determined the battle plan in a few seconds.

Accompanied by the sound of more than a dozen tactical boots stepping on water, the ten invaders drew their swords and took out their kunai.

"Those people were wielding long swords. They were probably from the Grass Country. They've always been dishonest. Someone paid a large sum of money to hire them. They were probably paid to die."

Konan didn't call out any names. It seemed as if he was explaining to the dozen or so Chunins, or perhaps he was talking to someone inside. He raised his finger slightly and pointed at the dozen or so intruders.

"After that period, invaders would try to enter the Hidden Rain Village from all directions almost every day. This is the true face of the great powers. They only pursue their own selfish desires and never want peace in the Rain Country."

The people being pointed at were filled with alarm, and their fear of Xiaonan, who was floating in the rainy night, was even greater. This fear even made them want to take action in advance, not wanting to continue the confrontation.

They are indeed ninjas from the Land of Grass. The Land of Grass has never had any principles and only does things for money.

No one responded to Xiaonan, but Xiaonan didn't mind.

"Kill them, and there will be another wave in a few days. It's endless. They have plenty of people, even some of the less mobile characters will be sent out."

"But the Rain Country has limited manpower, and the border still needs to be guarded. So even to deal with these rats, we have to do it ourselves."

"Rats? We're not rats, we're just ninjas who've been paid to save our lives," the leader of the invading team exclaimed in shock. "Kill them, take their forehead protectors, and go back for the other payout!"

"Look... they are always greedy. Even mice are disgusting." Xiaonan smiled self-deprecatingly, and his body slowly turned into paper.

"The rats from the Land of Grass are really courting death."

Naruto, among the Chunin of the Land of Rain, sighed slowly and silently drew an ordinary katana from the sealed space. With a humming sound, the katana made a humming sound, shaking off the raindrops that fell on the sword.

The murderous aura reached its peak at that moment. Scrapped pieces of paper scattered all over the sky, piercing through the wind and rain and piercing the invaders from the Land of Grass. Uchikata hummed, blades flashed like thunder.

An even stronger murderous aura erupted the moment the invader's long sword touched that of a leading Chunin from the Land of Rain. The other invaders seemed to sense something and retreated subconsciously.

But at such a close distance, even a god would find it difficult to avoid it.

The sound of a knife slicing through flesh and blood shook the quiet streets, scaring off the rain country chunin who had rushed forward. Looking at the unfamiliar rain country chunin, the sword flashed like a dragon, wantonly cutting through the seven or eight invaders.

The crackling sound of the rain was completely blocked out. The flash of the sword cut off the heads, and the rain was also cut off. Large drops of rain were scattered by the blade and mixed with the splashing blood.

With a snap, they saw the Chunin in the raincoat brutally hit the last invader's chest with the blade of his sword, and the effect was like a sledgehammer.

Chapter 326 The patriarch of the Uzumaki clan, the paper flowers sent by Xiaonan, the future situation has changed

The man's chest collapsed heavily, and the thin blade of the katana broke under the terrifying force. With a bang, the last man flew backwards.

Seven or eight people were killed instantly by Naruto, and another seven or eight people were killed instantly by Konan using paper ninjutsu.

Naruto, who was rushing in the front, took off the hood of his raincoat and threw the bloody broken sword in his hand to the ground. He glanced at the corpses lying on the ground and looked back at Konan.

The Yugakure Chunins looked at the unfamiliar face and the dazzling golden hair and fell silent for a while. No matter how hard they tried to search their memories, they still found nothing.

Something must be wrong, so no one said anything. They watched Naruto speak to the angel in a casual, even nonchalant tone.

"Just kill them all. There's no need to think too far ahead. We still have to stand up on our own. Mediation is just a delaying tactic. If he can't do it, the Hidden Rain Village will never have peace."

........

Naruto changed his clothes and returned to the top floor of the tower.

Konan frowned slightly, staring at Naruto who was putting on gloves, and finally couldn't help but ask.

"Are you sure?"

"Of course I'm not sure. I'm not a medical ninja." He looked back at Xiaonan in surprise. "Now we can only try. Anyway, it won't get worse than it is now."

Hearing his matter-of-fact tone, Xiaonan didn't know how to refute for a moment.

"What do you mean it won't get any worse than it already is?"

"That's right..." Naruto walked towards the expressionless Nagato and said as he walked, "It's likely to make him feel better, but if it continues for a long time, he will die."

"Why?" Xiaonan took two steps forward.

"Do you know who I am now?" Naruto stopped, turned around and looked at Konan, pointing at himself and asked.

"what?"

"I am the leader of the Uzumaki clan," he said seriously.

Xiaonan: “….”

She felt a little regretful. She shouldn't have spoken to this person. He was really mean. She always felt that this person was doing it on purpose. Why was it so tiring to talk to him?

He looks so frivolous and likes to be beaten, he likes to show off and be timid.

"The Uzumaki clan has a lot of chakra in their bodies, so Nagato can use the Samsara Eye, but these eyes are not born to him."

Naruto patiently explained, "Using the Rinnegan every time is a huge burden for Nagato. Extracting chakra and forcing it to circulate is indeed feasible, but it is life-threatening."

"The owner of the Samsara Eye must have extremely strong regenerative cells in his body. Chakra can indeed stimulate cell regeneration, but this is based on the loss of lifespan."

"So, Nagato's cells are almost completely depleted. If he uses the Rinnegan a few more times, his lifespan will almost be over."

"How do you know this?" Xiaonan asked.

"Didn't I tell you that I'm the official leader of the Uzumaki clan?" Naruto coughed. "Besides, I have a personal relationship with Orochimaru."

What he called a personal relationship = without a word, he used the Shiki Fuujin to rip out Orochimaru's soul and tortured him mercilessly. This personal relationship... is really a bit hardcore.

But Xiaonan didn't know this, he just thought that Orochimaru and him had some intelligence interests. Hearing Orochimaru's name, he felt a little relieved.

"Your method is...?" Xiaonan was a little confused.

"Inject chakra to activate the cell activity in the body. Don't worry, it will be quick." Naruto said, turned around and continued to walk towards the skinny Nagato.

"Is there really no risk?" Xiaonan was still a little worried and shouted behind him.

"There's no risk. If we don't do this, he won't live long." Naruto had already stood in front of Nagato. "Besides, no one is more suitable to do this than me."

"The members of the Uzumaki clan are either dead or have escaped, and are scattered all over the place."

Nagato raised his head. The circles around his eyes were a bluish-gray hue, a sign of impending death. His body was emaciated, and his expression was old and tired. No wonder he spoke so little.

"Why are you helping us?" Nagato asked hoarsely.

"I want world peace, too. Didn't the lecherous sage say that?" Naruto held out his hand. "I'm a kind-hearted person. I hate to see war in the ninja world."

Since he extracted the Nine-Tails from his body, although Naruto is now unable to transform into a tailed beast, he still has the vast chakra of a half Nine-Tails hidden in his body.

These chakras can be freely transformed with the huge chakra of the Uzumaki clan that he was born with, which means that he has at least the chakra of an entire complete Nine-Tails in his body.

It can’t be used up! But it can’t be used up at all!

Vast chakra continuously flowed from Naruto's body through his palm and into the commander's shoulders, flowing through his meridians over and over again.

Konan stood aside, watching with a worried look on her face. She finally breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Nagato's face was indeed getting redder and redder.

This proves that the method Naruto said is indeed effective, and Nagato's chakra is indeed severely insufficient and cell activity has decreased as he said.

As a fellow Uzumaki clan member, Nagato was able to absorb the chakra Naruto sent out. This process lasted for an hour, and Naruto finally ended it when he felt it was enough.

He was still full of energy after transferring chakra, and estimated that he had only used about one-tenth of his chakra. He could replenish it after resting for a while.

"Thank you...thank you." Nagato said as if he was stuck.

"No need. This is not just to help you." Naruto waved his hand and said, "Since the power of the Samsara Eye is so strong, the person who implanted the Samsara Eye in you must be no ordinary person."

"They wanted to use you and Xiaonan to achieve their goals. Now that they've failed, they want to reclaim the Samsara Eye. That's too naive. After all, we're from the same school. Since the Lecherous Immortal didn't pursue your affairs, I don't bother to get involved. It wouldn't have been a big deal if we hadn't met, but now that I know about it, I naturally want to help."

"Thank you." Xiaonan said sincerely. She thought for a moment, then rolled up a bunch of paper flowers out of thin air and handed them to him. "This is for you."

"Oh oh." Naruto took it, looked at it carefully, and thought to himself with some horror, could this be a part of her body?

"Nagato, how are you?" Konan asked with concern.

"Much better." Nagato stood up tentatively without falling back into the iron seat. "I can only stand up, but I can't walk."

"This is already very good, it will get better slowly," she said.

Nagato frowned, thinking of the invading ninjas. He immediately wanted to say that he must expel them all next time, but the words didn't come out of his mouth.

"Yeah." He nodded.

They all looked at Naruto who was tearing the bunch of paper flowers, waiting for him to say goodbye. After all, the mission was over.

"I will stay for a while longer and transfer chakra to him a few more times." Naruto looked up and said, immediately meeting their surprised eyes.

"What are you guys...looking at?"

"Will this have any effect on your body?" Xiaonan asked, "Chakra is the essence of a ninja. Even if you are young, you can't..."

"Well, I'm much better now. You don't have to force yourself anymore." Nagato spoke hoarsely.

"I'm not forcing myself. I know in my heart that even if I only have one tenth of my chakra left, it will still be far more than many jonin." Naruto waved his hand, "It's settled. We'll continue tomorrow."

Nagato and Konan looked at each other, not knowing what to say.

Chapter 327: Hydrangea, a small ninja, identifies believers, cultivates, and trains

"In that case, I'll come to you and arrange food and accommodation for you." Xiaonan spoke, but it felt a little strange. She couldn't remember how long it had been since she had said something like that.

Ever since Yahiko's death... probably.

"No need, I have a place to stay." Naruto thought of Hydrangea's house. He had hidden there last time. It would be a good idea to just go directly to her house.

"Is there...a place...to stay?" Xiaonan looked confused. "Where?"
