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

Obito looked at the new Pain in front of him, the night Nagato attacked Konoha, which he had never seen before.

"Oh? Which Dao's ability is this?"

"Hell." Nagato said.

Obito frowned, "You don't send out the Heavenly Path, the Shura Path, the Human Path, which are all powerful paths, but you send out the Hell Path for resurrection? What are you planning to do?"

Nagato said with reason: "Konoha has collected relevant information about these paths. Using the ability of this Hell Path, we can achieve the goal of catching the enemy by surprise. Besides..."

Obito stared: "What's more?"

Nagato was eager to try and said, "Using Jigokudo as the 'main attacker' is the first time I use Pain's technique. It's a bit new~!"

"Well, you really have a lot of fun." Obito sighed, thinking: I thought you were going to use the other Peins to guard against me, hehe...

Obito flicked his sleeves, came over and stood shoulder to shoulder with Nagato, and said, "It's okay to have fun, but don't do what happened in Konoha, where you misjudged the strength of both sides and ended up in trouble."

"Oh?" Nagato raised his eyebrows and asked, "Mr. Madara, do you know the purpose of my trip to Konoha?"

Obito said coldly: "Humph, what else can you do? You just want to vent your hatred for Konoha. In addition, you want to seize the scroll of Konoha that records the forbidden techniques, the "Book of Seals". In the end, you failed, right? You only took away a few techniques..."

Today, Konoha, led by Minato, has tight intelligence control...even Obito was unable to steal the most core secrets.

"Okay." A crystal ball appeared in Nagato's hand.

On the crystal ball, Jiraiya was running in a pipe with his hands clasped together.

In Obito's surprised eyes, Nagato said: "This is one of the few techniques. With this 'Telescope Technique', you can also see clearly here, the next battle between Pain and Jiraiya..."

"Oh?" Obito took the crystal ball and said, "You are quite considerate. Why don't you hate me for not saving Yahiko's life?"

Nagato smiled in relief: "I have figured this out. You just want to speed up my growth so that you can realize the grand dream of infinite moon reading. To me, Yahiko is a close comrade, but to you, Yahiko is just a person who is in the way."

"During this time, I learned to think from your perspective. I tried to stand in your shoes and understand your motives. In the end, I let go of my resentment towards you. If I were you, I would probably do the same thing."

"Because... Mr. Madara, you and I both regard our ideals as the most important thing."

"Your ideal is peace, and my ideal is also peace... We are all dreamers who pursue our own paths for the lofty ideal of peace. Why should we resort to revenge?"

Nagato's sincere sigh moved Obito.

"You've gotten stronger, Nagato. Both physically and mentally. No wonder you were able to defeat Hanzo in such a short time."

"Since we have forgiven each other, why don't we just work together sincerely from now on..."

"Please allow me to reject this matter." Nagato interrupted Obito and said, "It won't be too late for our cooperation to officially begin seven months from now!"

"Why is this?" Obito stared at Nagato, raising his hand intentionally or unintentionally.

Nagato said in a deep voice: "Just because I no longer complain to you about Yahiko's death doesn't mean that his death itself has faded from my heart. This year is a period of mourning!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Yahiko Tendō came out from the darkness behind him.

Obito glanced at the calm and cold face, and finally put down the hand that was trying to reach out to Nagato.

He slowly withdrew his gaze and turned to the crystal ball. "Forget it, it's up to you. So, as compensation for making me compromise again, you have to let me watch a good show."

……

"Da!" The sound of footsteps with a metallic texture.

Three pairs of pupils glowing with golden light were particularly eye-catching in the darkness of the pipe.

"Jiraiya, it's time for you to learn how to enter Sage Mode on your own. You're not even as good as your own disciples in this regard."

"Mother, don't be too harsh. Little Jiraiya is already very good. After all, not everyone has the talent of little Minato."

"By the way, although the way to enter Sage Mode is not perfect, this Sage Mode with our cooperation is more valuable in practical combat than Minato's."

"I'm so sorry to interrupt your time with the children."

With the faint light from the pipe exit, Jiraiya, who had transformed himself into an immortal, emerged from the darkness.

On his shoulders, Fukasaku and Shima were already in place.

"Okay, stop saying these polite words. What is the purpose of summoning us here?"

"Da!" Jiraiya paused and said heavily.

"The disciple I was most proud of died not long ago."

"But...the pair of eyes he possessed reappeared in the ninja world, and the person who controlled those eyes attacked the village not long ago!"

"What? Is there such a thing? Is the village okay?"

"Don't worry, the other party didn't get any advantage. With the joint efforts of Minato, Sarutobi-sensei, and everyone in the village, they successfully repelled the invaders."

"Is that so... I feel relieved then."

"Then, a few days ago, I learned from Minato that the intruder... had Nagato's 'Rinnegan', so I sneaked into the Hidden Rain Village where he died to investigate, trying to solve the doubts in my heart!"

"Oh! Your disciple is called Nagato! You really have a connection with 'door'!"

"Wait! Damn it! The point isn't about the gate! Little Jiraiya mentioned the Rinnegan! That's the Rinnegan, the Eye of the Six Paths!"

"Oh, I almost forgot! The old fool did mention the Six Paths of Samsara Eye!"

"Is it the Samsara Eye that was used? You mentioned your doubts. Could it be that... you have some guesses about the person who stole this power?"

"Hmm." Jiraiya said, "To be honest, before I sneaked in, I was almost certain that it was Orochimaru who stole these eyes! But after learning some things, and escaping from the hands of an enemy just now, my opinion has changed a little."

Shima Sennin: "Orochimaru... it's really a name that makes people feel uncomfortable."

Fukasaku Sennin: "Little Jiraiya, from what you said, it seems that the person who stole those eyes is not Orochimaru anymore?"

Jiraiya lowered his eyes and clenched his palms: "No, I can only say that the initial judgment was somewhat arbitrary and wishful thinking. I concluded that those children were already dead, and...even if they survived by chance, they would not do anything that was detrimental to Konoha!"

The sitting immortal smiled lovingly and said, "Well... I understand your temperament. After all, a master always has high hopes for his disciples."

Shima Sennin stared at the exit of the pipe fiercely: "Actually, it's very simple. Just pin the enemy to the ground and verify his identity!!"

"I thought so too~!"

Jiraiya made seals with his hands!

——Fairy magic: Toad Oil Fire Bomb!

"boom!!!"

On the platform at the pipeline exit, looking at the raging fire, Jiao Pei leaped backwards into the air!

"Did your Sage Mode sense me? Well, that's fine."

The horn pendant's Samsara Eye reflected fire, and his hands formed a seal on his chest! !

——Fire Style: Headache!!!

"Boom!!!" The collision caused a fierce convection of flames! !

Underground experimental base!

Konan used the telescope technique to present the battle scene in front of Orochimaru, Kabuto, and Kakuzu!

Of course...the focus of this telescope technique is the 'horn pendant'.

Kakuzu's dark green pupils were trembling. "Damn it, how did he do it without using the Earth Grudge Mask?! How could he have such power even after activating the Headache?!"

Orochimaru smiled and revealed the answer: "Nagato-kun has already learned the Earth Grudge Technique, so it is not only using Pain to activate your body's abilities, but also incorporating your own understanding."

Kakuzu's face turned pale. "He mastered the technique that took me three years to master in just three days, and even surpassed my understanding of this technique! This is simply outrageous!! This guy called Nagato!! What's even more outrageous is that since I was resurrected by the Impure World Reincarnation, this guy has not even met me in person. Does he know how to entertain guests? Hey...!!!!!!!!!"
