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

Nara Shikaku said in a deep voice: "Oh? If you know me, then you should know the name of Konoha's Pig, Deer and Butterfly!"

"Wow!" "Wow!" Yamanaka Inichi and Akimichi Choza landed next to Shikaku.

Ding Zuo narrowed his eyes, looked at the enemy wearing the Konoha forehead protector, and asked in surprise: "Hey... Is there a traitor in our family?"

Shikaku said carefully, "It's unlikely that there's a traitor in Konoha. However, I've never seen his face before. Either he deliberately wore a Konoha forehead protector to confuse people when he infiltrated, or he is a member of the Anbu or Root, and was manipulated by the enemy with illusions."

"I have already trapped him with the Shadow Binding Technique. Let's take him down before his accomplices come to support us!"

"Easy to handle!" Ding Zuo doubled his arms, clenched his fists, and shouted, "Hai Yi!"

"Ah, leave it to me!" Hai Yi made a signature gesture in the air: "No matter who you are, you can't have any resistance to Shadow Binding and Heart Turning!"

——The art of turning around the heart!

With the tacit understanding cultivated over the years of fighting in battle, the next second, Ding Zuo rushed forward like a tiger descending from the mountain...!

Suddenly, Haiyi exclaimed: "What happened, the heart turned... and failed!?"

"What did you say!?" Even Lu Jiu was shocked, because this kind of situation had never happened before, never!

Hai Yi was puzzled: "What's going on? Heart Transformation may be resisted by enemies with strong mental power, but it has never failed. Could it be that this guy... has no heart?"

Ding Zuo heard Haiyi's shout, but he still rushed forward, "Even if the Heart Turn fails, Shikaku's Shadow Binding Technique is enough to restrict him!"

He jumped high up, and punched the enemy in front of him with his multiplied fist...!

"Ino-Shika-Cho is indeed an impeccable fighting method. It's a pity that Pain's technique and I, as an individual, are simply your nemesis!"

——Hungry Ghost Realm·Sealing Technique and Suction Seal!

"Swish!" In an instant... the shadow entangled under his feet was absorbed!

"Bang...!!!" He jumped back and avoided Ding Zuo's heavy punch! !

“What…!?” Shikaku and Choza exclaimed at the same time.

When Ding Zuo was stunned, the Hungry Ghost Dao landed on the ground, bent his knees and shot forward, and his arm stabbed straight into Ding Zuo's big belly!

——Hungry ghost realm·swallowing!

"Swish!" The terrifying absorption power turned Ding Zuo from a fat tiger into a thin dog in just a few seconds!

Without any other help, I should be thankful that I can do this. I should stop while I am ahead. When Lu Jiu reacts, he will be able to think of a way to target me immediately...

"Boom!!"

He kicked Ding Zuo, who had turned into a thin dog, with great force, and then threw a ninja smoke bomb and turned around and ran towards the dark alley! !

"Damn it!" Ding Zuo was unwilling to give up, so he got up and prepared to chase him.

"Boss Ding... there's no need to chase him." Lu Jiu stopped him. "Based on the ability he just showed, if he was someone who preferred to fight, I might be able to counter him. But, unfortunately, he's a very cautious guy, and we won't get any advantage."

"Alas, even Shikaku said so, then I'm really helpless." Ding Zuo said solemnly: "It made Shikaku's technique invalid, and in an instant it sucked away the calories I stored to multiply my body. If it was a trick to absorb chakra, then this absorption power is too terrifying!"

"Maybe so." But... Shikaku looked deeper: "Even more difficult than that is that the heart transformation is ineffective on him. Haiyi, you just said... he has no 'heart', right?"

Haiyi still hadn't recovered from the shock of his special skill being ineffective. With cold sweat on his face, he replied, "Yes... Turning the heart around is ineffective, so that's the only way I can understand it."

Lu Jiu looked deep in his eyes: "Hai Yi, think about it, what does it mean to have no heart?"

"This..." After thinking about it carefully, Hai Yi couldn't help but take a breath: "Puppet?"

"Ah, that's probably it." Lu Jiu didn't say anything. In his mind, a word that was even more terrifying and cold than 'puppet' popped up...

Ding Zuo was immediately filled with righteous indignation: "Damn it! A puppet! The invaders are from Sunagakure! What a two-faced fellow, sending representatives during the day to reach a peaceful consensus with the Fourth Hokage, and then launching a sneak attack at night! Damn it, it's really damned!!"

Shikaku said: "It's too early to draw a conclusion now. Haiyi, first pass on the ability of the man just now, as well as the information that the enemy may be a puppeteer, to the third and fourth generations!"

"Understood!" Hai Yi did not dare to delay and immediately used the "Mind-Reading Technique".

……

"Shh!"

In the central city of Konoha.

Minato had just evacuated the civilians from the attacked southern district and met Hitoshi here, and they both received the message from Haiyi at the same time!

"What... is there such a thing?"

After Hiruzen heard this, his expression suddenly became serious.

"If it is really the Sand Village that planned this invasion, then, Minato, we must carefully consider our strategy against the enemy, because this may very likely involve the two ninja villages and the diplomatic relations between the two countries!"

After saying that, he looked at Minato seriously, waiting for the latter to express his opinion, because Minato was now the Hokage of Konoha and the final decision maker!

"Third generation..." Minato was in a dilemma for a moment, "I... want to reserve my opinion for now, and make a decision after this crisis is resolved."

Hiruzen said sternly: "We must capture him alive and never kill him. The Third Shinobi World War has just ended. Although the Land of Fire and Konoha are the victors, they paid a heavy price. At this critical juncture, we must avoid any seeds that may spark war..."

"Besides, so far, there have been no substantial casualties in Konoha!"

"Third generation sir! Fourth generation sir!"

At this time, a Chunin hurried over and reported: "The warehouse where we stored the "Book of Seals" was invaded!!!"

"What!?"

Hiruzen seemed to be relieved amidst the tension: "So, the purpose of Sunagakure is just to obtain Konoha's 'forbidden jutsu'?"

Minato raised his cloak: "Let me go, Sandaime, it's faster this way!"

Hiruzen said, "Ah, please, remember...you must leave him alive!"

"I try my best!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Minato had disappeared from the spot.

As the Hokage who protects Konoha, Minato left "Flying Thunder God Kunai" in almost all strategic locations of Konoha as signposts and guides, ensuring that he could enter at any time at the critical moment.

There are three territories in Konoha that he cannot set foot in: the Root base, the Hyuga clan base, and... the Konoha Police Force, the Uchiha base!

Behind the warehouse of the "Book of Seals"... Minato shuttled out from the Flying Thunder God Kunai in the tree shadows.

It was raining heavily, and he stood up...looking at the man who walked out of the warehouse carrying the "Book of Seals" on his back.

"stop."

"Da." The man stopped and turned... to look at the person who came.

On the high mountain outside Konoha, Nagato raised a clear arc at the corner of his mouth: "What is supposed to come has finally come..."
