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

The abalone soup that Xiaonan made tonight was made with fresh abalone that he specially ordered from a seafood merchant in Yuyin. There were a total of 100 abalones, each of which was plump and tender. He spent a lot of money on it.

Nagato was worried that the food would be wasted if they couldn't eat it, so he asked Perrin to come to the table to eat as well.

Xiaonan cleaned up the small kitchen and walked to the dining table.

I saw Nagato and Perrin eating with relish.

Perrin used her small hands to pry open the abalone shell and sucked the abalone juice, looking very satisfied.

Xiaonan's expression changed slightly: "Can you taste it?"

Peilin put down the empty shell, not bothering to wipe the juice from the corner of her mouth, and picked up another dazzling abalone, smiling sweetly and saying, "I can't taste it~, but when I think that it is the abalone cooked by Xiaonan himself, I can't help but want to taste it..."

"Really? If it tastes good, eat more." Xiao Nan propped up her cheek with her slender hands and took out a book with an orange cover from her arms.

Nagato raised his eyes, "Konan, don't you want to eat?"

"Well. I'm not very hungry..." Xiaonan's eyes moved between the lines, lingering at the key points from time to time, reluctant to leave.

Nagato thought: Konan, she has been studying Jiraiya's masterpiece day and night recently. After taking Orochimaru's special medicine, she looks more energetic...

"Gudong~Gudong~!" After having a full meal, Perrin drank water in big gulps and patted her bulging belly, "Kada~Kada~ (I'm full, I'm full)"

When she came to her senses, she saw Xiaonan looking at her with a strange look.

"What's wrong?"

"No, nothing." Xiaonan lowered his gaze.

She just wanted to ask where the food and water that Perrin ate and drank would eventually go. After all, it was the first time that Nagato allowed Perrin to eat and drink...

But she didn't ask it out loud. After all, this question was somewhat embarrassing, and she still cared about her image in front of Nagato.

"Hmm?" At this time, Nagato's expression changed slightly, and he walked to the root of the tongue of the relief outside the tower. Xiaonan closed the book and came to him, "Is there an intruder?"

Nagato raised his hands, carefully feeling the chakra reaction that came synchronously with the rain, and a smile slowly appeared at the corners of his mouth.

"You are really punctual. You said half a year, and it's half a year. Not too early or too late."

Half a year...

Konan's thoughts were suddenly pulled back to half a year ago, at the Kusagakure Bridge, when Nagato extended an olive branch to someone after subduing Orochimaru.

"Scorpion? I remember he didn't agree to join the gang at that time, right?"

Nagato smiled and said, "For a ninja like him, if he doesn't refuse, it means he agrees."

……

On the rain-hidden street, Scorpion was covered in a black robe and walking in the rain.

I saw a constant stream of pedestrians coming and going, with brisk steps and calm expressions.

He murmured, "The scene in this village doesn't look like it has just experienced a war. Could it be that he failed to overthrow Hanzo?"

At this time, the child standing under the eaves, who was eating a candy ball, pointed at the scorpion and shouted, "Dad! Look! There is a strange child wearing strange clothes here!"

"Hmm? Weird kid?" Scorpion glanced over.

"Don't talk too much!" The child's father quickly covered his mouth and taught him a lesson: "Disobedient child! Lord Payne will punish you!"

"Hmm?" Scorpion's expression slightly changed, "Pain, sir?"

He is the first person in the ninja world to hear of this name, besides Konan, even earlier than Orochimaru!

The child blinked his eyes and said ignorantly: "If I do something bad, will Lord Payne really punish me? How can he know if I am a bad kid? I have never even met him!"

The father said earnestly: "Listen, Baoer, Lord Pain, although he has never seen us, his divine power is everywhere! But even the rain in the sky is brought down by Lord Pain with his divine power! If you do something bad, Lord Pain will know it immediately!"

"So, be a good child, understand?"

"Okay, got it~." The child nodded obediently, then bowed to Scorpion and apologized, "I'm so sorry! I shouldn't have called you a weird kid! You should go home soon. If you go out on the street dressed like this, Lord Pain will think you're a bad kid! He will punish you!"

After saying this, he left accompanied by his father.

"..." Scorpion retracted his gaze, his eyes under his red bangs looking at the rainy sky, and said with a smile: "So, that's what's going on. You are really good at being mysterious, "Lord Payne". "

He glanced at the entrance of the dark alley and slipped into it. "Let's go to an open place..."

While running, he took out two scrolls from under his sleeves.

"If you want to greet me, I'll use the spoils I gained from this bloody journey...!!!"

……

On the high tower, Nagato's expression changed slightly.

"Hmm? Scorpion's chakra suddenly disappeared in the rain."

Xiaonan said: "It seems that he has noticed it and is playing hide-and-seek with us."

Nagato pondered for a moment, "It shouldn't be. Scorpion came here to pay his respects and surrender, so he wouldn't be so secretive. If I'm not mistaken, this is more like an invitation for a 'battle'..."

"It seems that Scorpion has become more capable." Nagato smiled.

"Splash!!!" The sound of the toilet flushing came from the bathroom. Xiaonan followed the sound and turned his peripheral vision.

The door opened and Perrin came out, clothes straightened.

Xiaonan thought: Sure enough, what you eat won't disappear out of thin air...

Xiaonan was in a good mood after solving his little curiosity.

He retracted his gaze and said seriously, "Since Scorpion is determined to fight, it would be bad if we don't respond. Do you want me to go and say hello to him?"

"I remember that you, Xiaonan, haven't exercised properly for a long time, right?"

"Well, ever since Yuyin settled down, I haven't had the chance to fight."

"Then you should go and move around where you haven't been for a long time~ The place where Scorpion's chakra disappeared is in the uninhabited area of ​​the west area. If you move quickly, he should still be there."

"Hua La La!!" Xiao Nan stretched out his arms, and his body turned into a sky full of 'white paper cranes', flying towards the west district!

Nagato said: "With Konan's strength, she shouldn't be afraid of Scorpion, but after all, she has been away from the battlefield for a long time because of her training in Night Sky Higanbana, so I'll help a little bit..."

"Click!" The coffin lid in the morgue of the high tower moved! !

"Crack~!" "Crack~!" Pei Ai used his strong big hands to move his neck and walked into the darkness.

In the West District of Yuyin, a figure larger than the mountain of flesh stood openly on an open-air platform made of pressed water pipes.

But the rain could not sense the existence of chakra on it.

"Hua La La!" The pieces of paper gathered into the shape of Xiaonan in mid-air. She looked at the fat man below whom she had never seen before, and a look of surprise flashed across her eyes.

She greeted coldly: "Is it Scorpio?"

A gloomy voice came out of the fat man's mouth: "It's too slow. I waited for a long time, but I didn't expect it to be you!"

I could hear the contempt in his words.

Xiaonan calmly counterattacked: "This fat body, is it your rookie puppet? Your true body is hidden in 'it', it is the same as the Fei Liuhu that was broken by Pain Tiandao in the desert of the Wind Country. It seems that you are surprisingly not innovative..."

Scorpion said unkindly: "What did you say?"

……

In the live video of the crystal ball, Nagato looked at the 'fat' man mentioned by Konan, and his expression was quite interesting...

"Damn, am I seeing right? This heavyweight tonnage belongs to that guy. I didn't expect Scorpion to become a gravedigger. It's a pity he could find it. That damn guy..."

The human puppet that Scorpion is hiding in at the moment is...
