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

Hayato Gorge in the Land of Rivers.

Xiaonan sat on the cliff, looking at the cold moonlight. Perrin stood quietly beside her with her hands behind her back.

"Will he come?" Xiaonan asked.

"Who knows? But we have done what we should do. Now we just have to wait quietly for the results."

"What if you don't come?"

"Let's think of other ways."

"Swish, swish!" A white figure emerged behind the two of them.

Xiaonan immediately stood up and raised his palm.

Bai Jue raised his hands quickly: "Master Xiaonan, don't do it, they are friendly forces!!!"

Xiaonan asked: "What is your number?"

That Bai Zetsu said: "I am number 47!"

No. 47?

Peilin and Xiaonan exchanged glances and both sighed: No. 0 is really capable...

"Is there a problem?"

No. 47 said: "A clone witnessed the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen leaving Konoha at noon and heading towards this area... Since you two adults are here, I will report the situation to you!"

My little cutie, you arrived just in time!

Perrin asked, "The Third Hokage came alone, right?"

No. 47 said, "Yes, he will be here in half an hour!"

Perrin nodded. "Thank you for your hard work! Also, tell No. 0 to be careful in the lair and not to rush for more! And you, be careful too, don't show your hand!"

"Thank you for your concern, Lady Nagato. I will withdraw now!"

"Go!"

Number 47 disappeared into the ground.

"Oh my, is the happy time between girls going to end~!" Perrin said, and threw a Flying Thunder God Kunai into the ground at her feet.

Then it disappeared in the white smoke.

She was summoned back to the Hidden Rain Village by Nagato.

"Swoosh!" Thirty seconds later, Nagato flashed beside Konan, leaned over, picked up the kunai, and put it in his arms.

Xiaonan glanced sideways and asked, "Are you going to use your real body to fight?"

Nagato smiled and said, "Well, even if we use Pain to defeat Hiruzen, his true form will still have to show up when we seize the meridians. It's better to just use his true form right from the start."

"Moreover, the fact that the original body and Pein did not appear at the same time also made it easier to justify his own theory. After all, although Hiruzen did not travel with Minato, it cannot be ruled out that he carried Minato's Flying Thunder God Kunai with him!"

Nagato cast his gaze towards the two spots in the empty space below and muttered, "Well, those two 'invisible' ghosts are another matter."

Konan muttered quietly, "Recently, Nagato has been saying the word 'Minato' more often..."

……

Hayato Gorge, the forest at seven o'clock.

As Hiruzen charged, he reached into his bosom and pulled out a kunai engraved with "Sword of Ninja Love".

That was what Minato had given him earlier.

As long as he injects chakra into it, Minato will sense it and come to his side immediately!

Along the way, Hiruzen thought for a long time.

He may be slow in his dealings with others, but his heart is as clear as a mirror.

"Shisui lost an arm at Mount Kikyo, but he never mentioned who had done it to him. Coincidentally, he got into trouble after Konoha was attacked."

"It is very likely that it was done by the same person."

"That is...Jiraiya's disciple, Nagato."

"Then, this incident is very likely related to Nagato."

"Minato and Nagato just met in the Hidden Rain Village and established a policy of 'conservative handling' in response to the previous attack."

"What if... this time Nagato really held Tsunade hostage, and threatened me with Tsunade's life to achieve his ulterior motives."

"Then let Minato intervene. Given his style, I'm afraid he will not hesitate to lead Konoha and the Hidden Rain Village to declare war."

"If Konoha can take down Amegakure in a short period of time, it will be fine. But if it fails and a tug-of-war develops, it will give other ninja villages an opportunity to take advantage of it, and it may become the fuse of the Fourth Ninja World War..."

"Besides, the possibility of developing into a tug-of-war is quite high. Nagato can put an end to Hanzo's existence. I'm afraid that even I may not be able to defeat his strength..."

"More importantly, Nagato has great personal strength, but he is not alone. Among Jiraiya's three disciples, Minato mentioned that Yahiko is dead, but the female disciple named 'Konan' is still alive in the world."

"Could it be her who sent the letter to me at the post office?"

"Let's not talk about her strength, but she is very generous. This shows that after the end of the Hanzo era, the overall strength of the Hidden Rain Village has not declined, and it has also received a large amount of construction funds..."

"Having funds means that we can vigorously develop our military strength..."

"So, Minato must not get involved!"

After thinking it through, Hiruzen made his decision.

He attached the detonating talisman to the kunai, threw it into a distant tree trunk, and raised his hand to form a seal.

"boom!!!"

During the explosion... he completely cut off the possibility of Minato entering!

Konan herself probably could not have imagined that her extravagant act of spending one million ryo to expedite the delivery of the letter would indirectly lead Hiruzen into a "strategy of confusing the enemy with a new one", thereby eliminating a huge trouble for Nagato's plan!

"Swish!" While running, the exit of the forest was already in front of him. He bit his finger and made a seal!

"Bang!" In the white smoke, the Monkey King, the Ape Demon, appeared beside him and ran side by side with him.

"Sarutobi, what's going on?"

"Ah, I'll tell you the details later! Let's transform into Vajra Ruyi first!"

"Mmm~!" The ape demon turned coolly while running and turned into a Ruyi stick! !

Hiruzen grasped it, spun it beautifully, and held it by his side!

The swaying shadows of the trees fade out of sight, and what comes into view are the standing mountains!

Sarutobi Hiruzen, his eyes determined!

"No matter if the opponent is Nagato or not! The first priority is to ensure Tsunade's safety. In addition, we must find out the opponent's purpose!"

At the edge of the cliff, Nagato's expression changed slightly: "Are you here?"

"I'm sorry to trouble you, Xiaonan."

Konan stood up silently, closed her eyes, called up the impression of Tsunade in her mind, and formed the seal for the transformation jutsu!

"Bang!!"

In the white smoke, she changed into Tsunade's image and glanced down.

"Isn't the drooping feeling enough?"

Nagato feasted his eyes and said, "It's restored enough..."

Xiaonan's eyes flickered slightly: "Is that so..."

Then...she knelt obediently in front of Nagato.

Nagato took out the rope he had prepared long ago and wrapped it around Konan.

Feeling his gentle strength, Konan said in Tsunade's voice: "Nagato, use force! If you're going to do it, make it real!"

"Gudong!" Nagato swallowed hard: "I'm sorry, Konan..."

He tightened the rope.

"Ah...!!" Xiaonan's body tensed up and he let out a muffled groan.

In the end, Nagato tied her up, with even her hands tied behind her back.

A few minutes later, Sarutobi Hiruzen rushed to the bottom of the mountain under the cover of darkness. He looked upwards and clenched his Ruyi Staff tightly, "You are..."

Nagato stood on the top of the mountain, looking down at the lonely figure below.

"Third Hokage Hiruzen, it's an honor to meet you. My name is, Nagato."
