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

After the battle of Yunmen Valley in the Land of Lightning, Nagato returned to the Jizo Temple in the Land of Rice, accompanied by Konan, with the coveted spoils.

"Boom!" The heavy coffin fell to the ground, and the sound caused several pieces of the rubble above to fall off.

Pain Tendō stepped forward and raised his hand. "Click!" The coffin lid was lifted up and rolled to the side. After confirming that there was no trap or mechanism, Nagato and Konan walked forward together.

In the coffin, the Third Raikage Ai was sleeping peacefully, accompanied by the 'Dendrobium Orchid', a flower symbolizing heroism and bravery.

Nagato smiled and said, "It looks like there was no embalming done, but the body doesn't show any signs of decay. I didn't expect that."

There are only two reasons for this. First, the Third Raikage had just died not long ago. Second, he had trained an extraordinary body that could delay the decay of the corpse to a great extent.

The degree of decay is equivalent to the degree of aging, and is an element that cannot be restored by the hell realm.

If the body has already begun to decay when it is made into Pain, the degree of decay will be retained after the final product is made using Hell.

Not only will it affect the perception, it will undoubtedly also have an impact on Pain's power.

"Fortunately, I got it at the right time~!"

At this time, Xiaonan noticed the lightning-shaped scar on the right chest of the corpse and asked curiously, "The Third Raikage is known to have fought a hundred battles without injury, and has a body that even the tailed beasts cannot match. So how did this wound come from?"

Oh, Xiaonan's observation skills are quite meticulous. He noticed this so quickly.

Nagato hesitated for a moment and said, "I think... he probably hurt himself accidentally. He has both the 'strongest spear' and the 'strongest shield', but when the strongest competes with the strongest, there will always be a difference in who is better."

"The spear may be stronger than the shield. The only one who can hurt him is himself... This is the answer I can think of. I wonder if this is the truth."

Xiaonan thought for a moment, then nodded, feeling that it made sense: "That sounds reasonable."

"Offended."

A black stick fell into Nagato's hand from his sleeve and stabbed at the shoulder of the Third Raikage!

"Crack!" Unexpectedly, after a crisp sound, the black stick broke. "Damn it!"

"..." Xiaonan leaned over and picked up the broken section of the black stick. Looking at the sharp edge of the broken end, he said, "This has never happened before when I made Pain."

Nagato sighed: "Yes! It seems that even without the protection of Lightning Chakra, this person's body is also extremely strong!"

To deal with a tough guy, you have to be tough...

"Click!" He summoned a mechanical arm on his shoulder, and after breaking his wrist, a drill shining with golden light rotated out!

"Looks like we have to drill it first. This is the diamond drill of Shurado! Xiaonan, you better step aside first. The scene might be a bit bloody!"

Xiaonan put the broken section of the "black stick" in his hand into his sleeve, looked at the remains of the former Shura Road recovered from the Yunmen Valley battlefield, and said: "I will help you deal with this abandoned Shura Road to prevent the information of Pain from being leaked."

"Okay, thank you for your hard work."

Xiaonan rolled up the remains of the Shura Road with a piece of paper, turned around and walked out of the temple.

"Buzz...!!!" The diamond drill spun rapidly, approaching the shoulder of the Third Raikage!

“Crack…!!!!” Sparks flew everywhere!!!

A drop of sweat hung on Nagato's white face, and he showed a smile that was as if he had seen Nan De. "Humph! You'd better catch it for me! Otherwise, I can only start from your 'chrysanthemum'!"

An hour later, the hole-drilling operation for the Third Raikage was finally completed.

"Phew, what a big job!"

Nagato looked at the blood gurgling from the stopped drill.

"This blood can be used for Impure World Reincarnation."

"But at this stage, Orochimaru's Impure World Reincarnation should not be mature yet. At this stage, he can't focus on it. Well, collect them first. Maybe they will come in handy in the future."

After collecting the blood, Nagato put away the drill and disarmed Shurado's mechanical arm.

Then several black sticks fell from his sleeves, matched the size of the holes, and began to be implanted. The process was relatively smooth.

——Hell!

The King of Hell ignited, opened his mouth wide, and swallowed the Third Raikage and the entire coffin into his mouth! !

"Click!" "Click!"

Xiaonan, who had just dealt with the previous Shurado, came in after hearing the commotion.

"Crack!" I saw... the King of Hell opened his mouth wide, and a giant man with blond hair and golden beard, with the word "thunder" tattooed on his right arm, held the King of Hell's fangs and stepped out with his head lowered!

His palms, shoulders, face, and dark and muscular body are all covered with black stick decorations. These decorations, coupled with the lustrous Rinnegan, add an air of mystery and darkness to his rugged temperament!

It is worth mentioning that Nagato did not deliberately erase the lightning-shaped scar on his right chest when creating Pain, but covered it up with a "lightning-shaped" black stick!

After this treatment, it no longer looks like a scar, but more like a special decoration (double picture later)!

"Okay." Nagato put away the King of Hell.

"This is Pain Shurado, the Third Raikage, Ai. For the sake of convenience, let's call him 'Pain Ai'!"

Konan nodded, looked at the sweaty Nagato, and said, "Are you exhausted?"

Nagato smiled and said, "It's not bad. I just sweated a lot. I didn't sweat so much even in the battle. But this gain is worth it."

Yahiko of Heaven, Pelin of Animals, and Peia of Shura are the official paths of Pain's Six Paths. The other three paths, the Hell Path, were created from the corpse of the nameless Sand Villager who was killed by the Root during the trip to Konoha.

The Human Path and the Hungry Ghost Path were created by the Iwagakure spy ninja who was killed during the trip to the Land of Lightning. To put it bluntly... these three paths are all 'temporary workers' and can be replaced at any time if there are better options.

"Does anyone have any choices for the other three?"

"Yes, some have been dead for a long time, some are not suitable for fraud at this stage, and some are still growing... Let's not rush for now!"

"Tomorrow is the day we have an appointment with Orochimaru. Tonight, let's go to a nearby town and soak in a hot spring. Nagato, I see you are sweating."

"Ah good."

Xiaonan looked towards the corner, looking confused. The three 'Rain Hidden Mirai' that Nagato had captured on purpose were a problem.

There was a distance limit to controlling Payne, so it was impossible to keep an eye on them. Could it be that... he also had to take them to the town? No matter how he thought about it, it was inappropriate.

She raised her hand and was about to make a seal: "I'll leave my paper clone behind to look after them..."

"No need." Nagato smiled and said, "There's no need to spend time looking after them."

Xiaonan put down his hands and asked in confusion: "Then... should we find a place to tie them up?"

Now without a stable rear base, it will be difficult to handle these details.

Nagato smiled and said, "No need. I have already thought about how to arrange for them since I decided to capture them."

Konan: "Don't tell me... you want to hand them over to Orochimaru?"

"No, we can't cause him any more trouble."

Perrin walked forward, took out the spiritual contract of the Animal Realm, took the hands of the three of them, and pressed their handprints one by one.

Putting away the scroll, Perrin said harmlessly, "This way, no matter where they run to, I can bring them back with just a few moves, just like flying a kite, hehe..."

"Is that so? It's really amazing that you could think of this." Xiaonan was completely convinced.

Nagato strode over to Konan and smiled.

"Hot spring, let's go~."
