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

Early in the morning, in the bedroom of the tower, Nagato had finished washing up and was tidying up his appearance in front of the mirror.

Xiaonan stood quietly by, holding the neatly folded robe in both hands.

These days, Nagato would stay up late with Konan most of the time, but he could not resist Konan's persuasion and would take a nap every now and then.

"Yaoxi~!" After finishing tidying up, Nagato took the robe from Konan and put it on.

"Let's eat."

Arriving at the table, Nagato's eyes lit up. "Hmm, sandwiches, they are really rare! Is this a new item in Granny Tose's shop?"

Xiaonan said, "Let's try it and see how it tastes."

Nagato pulled a chair out from under the table and sat down, then looked at Konan, "Have you eaten?"

Xiaonan said, "Well, I'm a little hungry, so I ate my portion first."

Nagato thought: In the past, Xiaonan would always wait for me to eat together, but today she ate first. It seems that Xiaonan is really hungry...

"Then I'll start." Nagato clasped his hands together, picked up the sandwich, bit off the tip, and chewed.

"..." Konan watched Nagato's reaction closely and felt a little nervous.

"Hmm~ It tastes good." Seeing that Nagato was satisfied with the taste, Konan's brows relaxed.

Nagato took his second bite and continued to taste it, saying, "However, this kind of salad dressing with vegetables and fruits is not the type of dish that Granny Tose would try~."

Xiaonan lowered his eyes and said, "Actually, I made this myself..."

"Eh?" Nagato was stunned. "Konan... did you make this sandwich yourself?"

Xiaonan nodded slightly and said a little embarrassedly: "Well, recently, in order to kill time, I fell in love with reading, so I went to Yuyin Bookstore and found a publication about cooking. I tried to learn how to make a sandwich, but I was a little clumsy. It took me three days to finally get it right."

Oh my god... What is this? Xiaonan actually cooked for me personally! ? And I learned from scratch from a textbook? ?

Isn't this the treatment that only the heroine or hero's sister can enjoy in romance anime? ? ?

"Ahwu~!" Nagato started to eat voraciously.

"Nagato, eat slowly, don't choke..." Konan handed him a glass of water.

"Slurp~Slurp~!" Nagato didn't even let go of the salad dressing on the corner of his mouth and licked it all clean with his tongue.

"You really are..." Xiaonan felt embarrassed by his overly positive attitude.

But although she was only interested in cooking on a whim, she also gained great satisfaction from Nagato's reaction.

The sandwich is a bit too unnutritious. I will go to the bookstore later and buy more books about cooking. I want to make soup for Nagato myself!

The happy breakfast time ended just like that.

Nagato said, "I'm going to the underground base."

Konan said, “I’m going to Kakuzu’s place and will check on the internal affairs of Yugakure.

Nagato said, "Do you want Perrin to join you?"

Xiaonan turned his gaze towards the dark room.

"For now, let's not use it."

Pain's Six Paths also requires a large amount of chakra to maintain, which is not energy-efficient in daily life.

In the original work, Nagato had to borrow Pain's help because of the limitations of his own physical functions.

But most of the time, he only used one body. The rest of his bodies were in a dormant state in a specially made coffin and would only be activated when needed.

Today, Nagato is in good health and full of energy, but that doesn't mean he will waste chakra without limit, so he also activated the special coffin to give Pain a break from time to time.

Of course, this consideration is not only for energy saving.

It is better to consider the long-term growth of strength.

No matter how powerful Pain is, he is ultimately just a technique used by Nagato Rinnegan!

The essence is the core!

Without Pain, Nagato neglected the growth of his own abilities. These days, apart from meeting Orochimaru and Kabuto, paying attention to Kaede's growth, and accompanying Konan, he spent the rest of his time practicing hard.

"Whoosh!"

Nagato flashed out from the underground base.

Orochimaru was sitting in front of the instrument, monitoring Kaede's fetal heart rate.

"Oh, Nagato-kun, you're here so early in the morning~."

Changmen looked around and asked, "Where is Dou? Why did you do the fetal heart rate monitoring work yourself today?"

Orochimaru smiled and said, "Kabuto hasn't been getting enough sleep lately. He went to catch up on his sleep under my strict orders."

Nagato came to Orochimaru's side and looked at the dark circles of pigment around his eyes: "Look carefully, you have dark circles too, have you not been sleeping lately?"

“Well, this is also in the service of new achievements.”

Orochimaru opened the drawer and took out a medicine bottle, "The special medicine that Nagato-kun mentioned before, with the help of Kabuto, I have developed it. Here."

Nagato was surprised: "So fast?"

Orochimaru said: "Yes, in drug development, the most time-consuming stage is clinical drug testing, which requires obtaining a large number of test subjects and conducting periodic observations."

"In order to shorten the process, I tested the medicine myself this time."

"You tested the drug on yourself? Without any test subjects?"

"Yes. After all, the person who is going to take this medicine is very important to Nagato-kun, so we can't be careless at all. It would be safer for me to try the medicine myself and feel its effect."

Nagato clenched the medicine bottle: "Then, what are the effects and side effects?"

Orochimaru said: "The effect is outstanding. This medicine successfully suppressed the 'drowsiness' reflex in the brain's nerve center. The side effect is that the body's immunity will be reduced to a certain extent."

"The longer the medication period is, the more this will be reflected."

"But after stopping the medication, it will recover."

Is it a decrease in immunity? If this is the only side effect, it is not bad.

Nagato asked, "How about drug resistance?"

Orochimaru smiled: "Nagato-kun, you really know a lot~, drug resistance does exist, that is, as the period of taking the drug becomes longer, the body develops tolerance, thereby reducing the efficacy of the drug..."

"All drugs are like this, so... if Xiaonan is to survive the second half of her training in "Nightmarish Higanbana", she can't just rely on drugs. Nagato-kun, your encouragement and companionship are also essential~."

"I see." Nagato put the medicine bottle in his arms and said sincerely, "Thank you, Orochimaru, for taking the time out of your busy schedule to do additional research."

"It's the same with you. Thanks to Nagato-kun, my progress in the search for the truth is at least ten years ahead."

After Orochimaru finished speaking with a smile, he changed the subject: "Nagato-kun, come to see me today."

Nagato said: "I have already mastered the Earth Grudge Technique, and I am ready to start with the Yin Release Chakra Meridians!"

It is not difficult to seize a Yin-tun Chakra meridian, but the difficulty lies in that this meridian must be perfectly compatible with Nagato's own 'Yang, Water, Earth, Wind, Thunder, and Fire'.

Therefore, it is best for the person whose power is taken away to be born with chakra meridians with the seven attributes of 'yin, yang, water, fire, earth, wind, and thunder'.

In this way, the 'yin' that is separated out separately can be perfectly compatible with the other six meridians.

Looking at all the ninjas, there are only a few who meet the requirements.

Orochimaru's eyes flickered: "Oh? So, Nagato-kun, you already have a candidate."

Nagato said in a low voice: "Yes, you are not unfamiliar with this person, so I still need to ask for your opinion."

Orochimaru's eyes flickered: "Nagato-kun, what you said, could it be..."

Nagato said: "Yes, he is..."
