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

On the evening of October 10, in the Valley of the End, a red sky was broken by the flames.

The great waterfall originating from the River of Wrath in the Land of Fire rolled down, carrying with it the unfinished cries of the Warring States Period.

The man is gone, but the stone statue remains. The glorious years are not over yet, waiting for future generations to sing the final song!

At the top of the stone sculpture between the pillars, Nagato is looking out towards the mountains to the southwest.

At this hour, Kushina must be ready to unload...

Nagato closed his eyes and began to deduce.

"Given Minato's personality, he would definitely take care of Kushina before Naruto. That's how Obito hugged Naruto as a threat and successfully lured Minato away from Kushina."

"Obito acted quickly at that time. By the time Minato came to his senses, Biwako and the others who were responsible for looking after the child had already been killed by Obito."

"But this time is different. With Tsunade present, it is unknown whether Obito can successfully hug Naruto..."

"Swish!!!" The sound of the whirlpool interrupted Nagato's thoughts.

Obito slowly landed on top of the Uchiha Banshi statue. Seeing Nagato coming as promised, under the tiger mask, the corners of his mouth rose, "Nagato, you are a man who keeps his promises. I am very happy."

He looked around and said, "Where's that little girl who loves origami, and Pain's Six Paths? You didn't bring any of them with you?"

Nagato slowly turned around and said, "That's not necessary. My real body is enough for this operation."

"Well... okay. To unleash the true power of the Rinnegan, we still need the original body." Obito tilted his head and said, "Why not give it a try, Summoning the Outer Path Demon Statue?"

Nagato laughed and said, "That's a bit of an overreaction, isn't it?"

"This time, I allow you to go on a killing spree and vent all the hatred you have deep in your heart towards Konoha." Obito straightened his robe and slowly sat down.

"Nagato, do you know? The Outer Path Demon Statue has a technique that can kill the enemy's souls on a large scale, just like the Human Path on a large scale, and there is no need to directly contact the opponent..."

Hehe... Of course I know that if there is no tailed beast chakra in the golem, using that move will suck people dry! If I really use this move as you wish, it will be easier for you to control me!

Of course, these words cannot be said openly.

Nagato said: "The Outer Path Demon Statue is the container for us to seal the tailed beasts. It has great strategic significance and should not be exposed to the enemy's vision so early."

Obito said: "Oh? I'm glad you can think so far ahead. It shows that you sincerely hope that our future cooperation will go smoothly."

"As agreed before, I will be responsible for attacking the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki and releasing the Nine-Tails..."

"After the Nine-Tails is released successfully, I will use the 'Summoning Contract' to summon the Nine-Tails directly in Konoha."

"By then, Konoha will be in chaos and will organize its forces to stop the Nine-Tails' actions."

"There are those in Konoha who are capable of fighting against the Nine-Tails. The Fourth Hokage Minato Namikaze, the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen, and the Three Ninjas Jiraiya..."

Nagato asked, "Tsunade, why don't you say anything?"

Obito said, "Hmph... Tsunade, Hashirama's granddaughter, a woman, and a mere medical ninja, since she is personally delivering the baby for the Jinchūriki, I will try my best to kill her as soon as possible!"

Nagato asked reasonably, "Is it okay? Tsunade, she is one of the three famous ninjas along with Jiraiya and Orochimaru. Even if she is a medical ninja, her combat ability is not weak, right?"

Obito said: "From what I know about her, it's nothing more than some supernatural tricks. Her supernatural power is useless to me..."

haha, really.

Obito said: "Well... Even if she didn't kill Tsunade right away, all she could do was use medical ninjutsu to reduce some casualties. To me, it's no big deal."

"Excluding Tsunade, the only three people who can be considered the biggest threat are Namikaze Minato, Sarutobi Hiruzen, and Jiraiya..."

"Minato, I will be responsible for taking care of him." Obito said this with calm confidence as he looked at Nagato.

"And Nagato, what you have to do is to deal with the Third Hokage and Jiraiya. As I said last time, this shouldn't be a difficult task for you, right?"

Nagato lowered his head, lost in thought.

Obito frowned slightly: "What's the problem?"

Nagato scratched his cheek and said, "Mr. Madara, I think you haven't thought it through very well."

"Oh? Tell me."

"As far as I know, there are experts at the level of Konoha Hokage, and there is also the leader of the Root, Danzo? In addition, there are also many experts in the Uchiha clan of Konoha, right? What if all of them get involved?"

Hehe... Obito sneered in his heart: Nagato, although you are a little smart, you are still ignorant of the ways of the world.

"Don't worry, Danzo and the Uchiha masters will never get involved and get in our way."

Nagato was puzzled: "How do you say this?"

"You may not know this yet, but Danzo's Root power has been greatly weakened by Hokage Minato recently. At this juncture, the one who hopes that Minato will lose his position as Hokage the most is probably Danzo..."

"He would never intervene to obstruct any event that could have destroyed Watergate's rule."

"Let's talk about the Uchiha clan." Obito said with a gloomy look: "That day, when I defected from Konoha, no one from the clan followed me..."

"At this point, the people of this clan have gradually come to realize that there is no soil for the Uchiha clan to survive in Konoha under the rule of the Senju..."

"I guarantee that they won't attack. If they do, it's just for show. They won't risk their lives!"

That's right... this is another consideration behind my decision to control the Nine-Tails and attack Konoha.

The only one who can control the Nine-Tails is the Uchiha's Sharingan.

Even if this action of mine fails to destroy Konoha, it can direct the disaster to the Uchiha clan, speeding up the process of isolating the village... and laying the groundwork for the demise of the Uchiha clan.

The power of the Sharingan... should not be buried in a family full of mediocre people!!

"Danzo and Uchiha, neither of them will take action... Mr. Madara, with your words, I can safely assist you in your actions."

Obito slowly stood up and pulled his hood up to cover his hair.

"Nagato, sneak into Konoha and wait. Take the Nine-Tails' arrival in Konoha as a signal, and assist me to launch the operation..."

Nagato stood up and said, "Understood."

"We'll meet here after this is done..." Obito released a vortex from his right eye and sucked it into himself, "Tonight, Konoha will be filled with grief!"

Nagato looked at the place where he disappeared and said, "Silly idiot, take the Nine-Tails and have fun by yourself. After you're done playing, I can help Minato and his wife clean up the mess, then smuggle some contraband in and start my big plan smoothly..."

Thanks to 'Otsutsuki Yubi Tornado' for the burst of updates, 'Art Scorpion' for the two episodes of Xiu'er, one inspiration capsule, and one update reminder. Oh my god, I came back and saw this. I have to update the chapter no matter what. It would be unreasonable not to update the chapter. Wait until I finish the IV drip tonight and come back...
