Civilians in Konoha, forging their own paths

Tendo Pain was also shocked when he saw Kushina's appearance changed drastically!

"Is this the true power of the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki? It really cannot be underestimated!"

After Kushina activated the Nine-Tails Chakra Mode, her movements and strength far exceeded her normal state! Even though Pain's Samsara Eye could communicate with each other, he was still killed by Kushina!

The Hell Path that could resurrect other Pains was the first to be killed by Kushina!

After a while, only Tendo was left among the six Pains!

"As expected of him, he is the Nine-Tails' Jinchūriki. His chakra is dispersed among six Pains, making it difficult for him to win. However, now that only Tendo Pain is left, I can concentrate all my chakra on him. The power of my technique will also be greatly increased. The outcome is still unknown!" Nagato thought to himself on the tallest building.

"Shinra Tenzheng!"

Kushina, who wanted to defeat the last Tendo Pain in one fell swoop, was knocked away by Tendo Pain!

The repulsive force is far greater than before!

Even in Nine-Tails Chakra Mode, Kushina was still flown quite a distance and had to create chakra hands to grab onto the building to hold on!

"The repulsive force used by this short-haired guy suddenly increased greatly! I'd better try it from a long distance!" Kushina said.

Kushina's chakra robe changed its form, and her chakra was further enhanced, which was a bit similar to the heavy ion mode in Boruto!

This second form is Kushina's strongest form before she transformed into a tailed beast, and can use a small tailed beast ball to attack!

The small Tailed Beast Ball fired at Tendo Pain like a machine gun!

Tendo Pain did not dare to be careless and used Shinra Tensei to form an air wall. The small tailed beast balls hit the air wall and were bounced away!

The small tailed beast ball that was bounced away exploded in other places, almost turning the area into ruins!

Kushina took the opportunity to get close to Pain and fight him. After a back-and-forth fight, Kushina basically figured out Pain's moves!

In this second form, Kushina's ability to withstand Shinra Tensei has greatly increased, and Tendou is gradually finding it difficult!

"Damn it, we are in the Hidden Rain Village, I can't use Super Shinra Tensei and Chibaku Tensei! Otherwise, the Hidden Rain Village will be destroyed!" Nagato was a little anxious and no longer calm!

"Sure enough, the mid-term boss of Hokage still has a hard time facing the Nine-Tails Chakra mode of the Fourth War level! And because he is restricted in the Hidden Rain Village, Nagato cannot exert his strongest strength!" Dihuangmaru said.

"It's time to end!" Dihuangwan nodded to Feiyun.

Afterwards, the two stopped watching the battle and came to the battle circle between Kushina and Tendo Pain!

When Tendo Pain saw the other two joining the battle, he immediately retreated and kept some distance!

"Kushina, okay, let's stop here!" Dihuangwan said.

Upon hearing this, Kushina stopped chasing and took a few steps back to come to Dihuangwan and Feiyun.

"Kushina, it's time to end it. Let's release the Nine-Tails Chakra mode!" Dihuangmaru said.

Kushina nodded, "Well, Sensei, how was my performance just now!"

"Not bad, you have made great progress compared to before. The Nine-Tails' chakra mode is also beyond my expectations. It seems that you and Kurama have already trusted each other!" Dihuangwan said.

"Of course, Kurama and I are good partners!" Kushina raised her head, looking as if it should be so.

Dihuangwan shook his head and looked at Tendou Pain: "Yahiko, I haven't seen you for so many years. I didn't expect you to be in such a state!"

Tiandao Pain was shocked: "You, who are you!"

Dihuangwan took off his white robe and mask, revealing his true face, and Feiyun did the same.

When Tiandao Pain saw Dihuangwan's appearance, his pupils shrank, "You, you are the Water God Dihuangwan!"

"Yes, I am Dihuangwan. Yahiko, take me to see Nagato's real self!" Dihuangwan said.

Tendo Pain was silent for a moment, "Konoha Water God, what is your purpose in coming here? To show the strength of Konoha!"

"No, the three of us came here to find the truth!" Dihuangwan said.

"the truth?"

"The truth about your parents' death, the truth about your Rinnegan, the truth about Hanzo's betrayal of the Akatsuki organization, the truth about Uchiha Madara and Black Zetsu!"

In the highest tower, Uzumaki Nagato's expression changed again and again, and he clenched his fists!

"How did you know the secret between me and Payne?" Tiandao Payne asked.

Dihuangwan raised his head and looked towards the highest tower. "Because, whether it was Uchiha Madara or Black Zetsu, they were all eliminated by me. I know all your secrets very well! However, I am not here to be your enemy. I know the location of your real body. To show my sincerity, let Yahiko take us to see you!"

Tendo Pain didn't say anything, it was obvious that Nagato was hesitating!

"Don't hesitate. You can't even handle Kushina, let alone Feiyun and I. If we really wanted to do something bad to you, we would have done it long ago. Kushina fights with you just to experience the power of the Rinnegan!" Dihuangwan said.

Hearing this, Nagato sighed, and Tendo Pain said, "Follow me!"

Then Tendo Pain went straight to the highest tower, and Dihuangwan and the other two followed, and soon they reached the highest tower!

Here, Uzumaki Nagato and Konan are already waiting!

Tendo Pain lay down in the hibernation chamber and stopped moving. Nagato said, "Konoha Water God, you said before that it's been a long time since we last met. Have we ever met before?"

"Of course, I became famous in the Rain Country during World War II. I saw you three and a puppy at a fruit stall at that time. I once stopped the fruit stall owner from beating and scolding you, and also gave you suggestions! You can say that we knew each other earlier than you met Jiraiya!" Dihuangwan said.

Nagato and Konan both fell into reminiscence, but Konan was the first to recall, "Yes, there was someone who helped us before. I didn't expect that person to be the Lord of Water of Konoha!"

"At that time, I was just an ordinary Jonin in Konoha. It was only after that that I got the title of Little Water God!" Dihuangwan said.

"So the teacher has a connection with you guys too!" Kushina also said.

Looking at Kushina, who has red hair like himself, Nagato can't help but think of his mother!

"Konoha Water God, what is the truth you are talking about?"

"This is a long story. Don't resist, Feiyun. Use that technique!" Dihuang Wan said to Feiyun.

Dihuangwan placed his hands on Feiyun's shoulders and activated the illusion, "Next, in the illusion, you will know all the answers!"

Afterwards, Nagato, Konan, Kushina, as well as Dihuangwan and Feiyun who were casting the illusion, all entered into the illusion!

In the illusion, the five people came to the time before World War II. Uchiha Madara and Black Zetsu made a plan and found Nagato. They transplanted the Rinnegan to the young Nagato, and then made White Zetsu transform into a Konoha ninja and killed Nagato's parents!

Stimulated by the death of his parents, the young Nagato used the power of the Rinnegan for the first time and killed the "Konoha Ninja" who killed his parents!

After that, he wandered around until he met Yahiko and Konan!

The scene changes!

The five people came to the time before Yahiko's death!
