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

"What do you think? Are you moved, Nagato-kun?" Orochimaru waited for Nagato's reply with an unsatisfied smile.

Nagato's pupils hidden among his red hair flickered slightly.

What reason does he have not to be moved?

"I..." Just as he was about to speak, Xiaonan's hand pinched his sleeve.

Nagato understood the look in her eyes; it was a look that said she had something to say but was not comfortable saying it out loud.

So, he said calmly: "Orochimaru, I have to excuse myself for a moment."

Orochimaru smiled and picked up the teacup, "Well, please~."

Came to the corridor outside the experimental base.

Konan leaned against the wall, head slightly lowered, "Nagato, to be honest, I don't want you to undergo this experiment."

Nagato had expected this, and he asked calmly, "Well, why?"

Konan said with a worried look on her face, "The risk is too high. Regardless of whether what Orochimaru said, that you are a descendant of the Senju, is true or not."

"That injection, it looks like it was injected directly into your body. Just in case, I mean just in case..."

She paused, clenched her hands on her waist, and said, "If he has bad intentions and does something wrong, it will be impossible to prevent him!"

Nagato said softly, "After these few months of contact, don't you trust him?"

Xiaonan shook her head slightly.

"In the past few months, he and Kabuto Yakushi have indeed not behaved abnormally, and they even get along quite well with us."

"However, this still does not change the fact that Orochimaru has dangerous ambitions and ideas."

"Nagato, he was forced by you to use force to help complete your second body plan after all."

Nagato added: "Half is force, half is truth. He is a man who is extremely eager for the truth."

Xiaonan shook his head and said, "I don't understand his pursuit of the so-called truth. I only care about the real risks!"

"Forget about Feng! After all, it is your second body. Even if Orochimaru has any evil ideas, at least it can't affect you."

"But... this time is different. That thing can directly affect you. I'm really worried!"

Having said this, Xiaonan raised her face. Her eyes were helpless and confused, filled with worry about gains and losses.

Her voice was also trembling slightly, "Because, I, I really have nothing left. Nagato, you are everything to me. I cannot bear the risk of you encountering any unexpected events because of this, so, so..."

Xiaonan looked so pitiful at this moment. After practicing "Night Flower of the Other Shore" for four months, she was exhausted both physically and mentally, like a piece of mutton-fat jade that would break if touched.

"Would you please not take that experiment?"

Nagato's demeanor was surprisingly calm.

How could he not know?

Konan's suspicion of Orochimaru was a completely objective and reasonable judgment based on her limited perspective.

And the starting point... is the concern for his life and safety.

It would be strange if Xiaonan didn't step forward to stop it at this time.

However, as a time traveler, Nagato has a more comprehensive understanding of Orochimaru.

Let’s put aside those high-sounding words like truth, pursuit, and bond for now.

Orochimaru knows people's hearts very well. How could he not see that Konan was still wary of him? He would definitely stop her.

If he really wanted to harm me, why would he bother taking out the injection in front of Xiaonan and just find me alone in private?

Okay, let’s assume that Orochimaru wants to do a reverse operation and deliberately take it out in front of Konan to dispel Nagato’s concerns... How can he be sure that he didn’t take any precautions?

The power of the Rinnegan still leaves Orochimaru with too many unsolved mysteries.

Orochimaru would have to be crazy to backstab him at this time.

Therefore, Nagato can be 99.99% sure that Orochimaru will not do anything. If that 0.01% happens, Nagato can only hope that man proposes, God disposes.

But Konan dissuaded him out of sincerity, and Nagato could not let her down.

He gently placed his hand on Xiaonan's shoulder and said softly, "Xiaonan, your worry is not unreasonable, but everything comes with risks. I choose to accept this risk. Can you help me check it out?"

"When Orochimaru gives me the injection, you will watch from the side. If I feel any discomfort, I will give you a look. Then, you will take action to subdue Orochimaru."

Xiaonan was still worried, "But...what if it can't be seen in a short time?"

Nagato's expression changed slightly, he slowly lowered his hand from Konan's shoulder, and took out a "scroll" from his arms.

"If that's the case, you open this scroll. This is the backup plan I reserved to prevent Orochimaru from betraying me one day. Now, I'm handing this backup plan over to you!"

"Nagato, you..." Konan looked into Nagato's eyes, unable to hide her shock.

Nagato smiled and said, "I said that half of my future depends on Orochimaru, so the other half is in my own hands. This way, you can rest assured, Konan."

"Yes." Konan nodded obediently, took the scroll from Nagato and put it in her sleeve.

"Let's go in."

In the lounge, Orochimaru put down his teacup and looked at the two people who had re-sat down, with a meaningful smile on his face, "Have you decided, Nagato-kun?"

"Whatever you've decided, let's get started." Nagato-kun said nonchalantly after taking his seat.

"That really makes me feel honored~."

Orochimaru stood up and walked to Nagato's side, then turned his gaze to Konan.

"Konan, how about I teach you the method and you do the injection yourself for Nagato-kun?"

Xiaonan's eyes were cold, and he said calmly: "No need, you are an expert in the field of cells and forbidden techniques, and my expertise is only origami and insignificant detonating talisman traps..."

"Swoosh~ (Is that so?)" Orochimaru smiled noncommittally and pushed the needle into the back of Nagato's neck, right next to the location where the black rod as the 'chakra transmitter' was buried. His thumb pushed the piston all the way in! Then he pulled out the needle.

The process takes less than ten seconds.

Nagato touched the place where the needle was inserted, "Is it over?"

Konan clenched her hands slightly under her sleeves, watching Orochimaru's actions closely.

Orochimaru smiled and replied, "Yes, it's over! Nagato-kun!"

Nagato carefully felt the changes in his body, but the expected drastic changes did not happen. Instead, there was only calmness and peace.

He looked at his palm and said, "I don't feel anything. Could it be that I have caused a failure?"

Orochimaru smiled and said, "Nagato-kun, do you remember what it was like when you awakened the 'Power of Whirlpool'?"

"..." Xiaonan's eyes drooped slightly.

And Nagato slowly clenched his hands.

Of course I remember it, it was like a thousand horses galloping!

I actually made that shameful statement in front of Xiaonan! Fortunately, she forgot about it completely afterwards, otherwise, my life would be ruined, completely ruined...

He wished he could seal away the shame with Six Paths Chibaku Tensei.

Orochimaru had no idea what Nagato was thinking.

He said: "The power has been drawn out, but it still needs an opportunity to explode..."

"understood."

Nagato thought: In other words... I have to 'explode' again? This time I will definitely not let that kind of shame happen again. I will just leave Konan with a handsome back view. That's enough.

"Buzz!" The door of the sterile room opened, and Kabuto walked out with a tired face, pushed his glasses and said: "Master Orochimaru, the placenta connection operation of "Maple" has been successfully completed!"

"Thank you for your hard work." Nagato stood up, put his arm around their shoulders and said, "Let me reward you two tonight!"
