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

Tsunade snatched the pendant from Hiruzen's hand.

If that wasn't the heirloom of her grandfather that she lost as a bet in River Country, then what was it?

This pendant came into Hiruzen's hands.

Thinking about what happened to her that night at the casino, and what happened to Hiruzen afterwards, she figured out a lot of things.

"I see..." She tightly grasped the pendant that she had lost and found again, her eyes filled with shock and fear.

It wasn't just the paper girl's spur-of-the-moment idea to instigate me to use the pendant as a bet!

She didn't come here for my reputation as a fat sheep to make money! She came here for this pendant!

After obtaining the pendant through gambling, I used it as a token to prove my identity and lure old man Sarutobi out of Konoha... What a deep plan!

Tsunade asked angrily: "Who hurt you? Was it the woman with blue hair and paper flowers on her head?"

Hiruzen sighed, "As expected, you have also seen that woman."

Tsunade pressed on, "So she's the only one left! Did the other one take action? The masked woman!"

Hiruzen was shocked, "What? You, you also saw a masked woman?"

His abnormal surprise made Tsunade hesitate for a moment and asked, "Didn't you see it?"

It seems...Tsunade has never met Nagato.

Hiruzen took a puff of his pipe and said calmly, "Tell me the whole story. How did the other party get the pendant?"

So, Tsunade told the whole story about how she unexpectedly won money in the Kawakuni casino that night, but was intercepted by Konan and Perrin, and how she lost both her money and her life because of her impulsiveness.

So that's what's going on... The confusion that has been lingering in Hiruzen's heart for months has finally been solved.

The thick smoke filled my lungs, and a sigh echoed in my heart: Everything was arranged so clearly. I have no temper at all.

Tsunade held the pendant to her face and shouted, "Old Sarutobi! Now you can tell me! How did that woman trick you out with this and then set an ambush to injure you? Who were the people involved!"

Hiruzen blew out a puff of smoke, looking confused, "What do you mean by tricking them out? What do you mean by ambush?"

"What did you say...? Didn't they trick you out by sending this pendant by letter?!"

"This pendant was sent to me by someone via letter. They wanted me to pass it on to you. They didn't intend to take your love away. They just wanted to save face."

"Then why did you read the letter and leave the village without saying anything!!!"

"I'm a retired person, just going out to relax."

Tsunade stepped forward, grabbed Hiruzen by the collar, and said angrily, "Don't give me that! You are injured, so what can you say!!!"

Alas. Hiruzen sighed inwardly and said earnestly: "Tsunade, there are some things that you should stop asking, okay? Just like there are some things that you haven't told me truthfully, right? Everyone has their own beliefs and persistence, so let's respect each other's ideas."

Tsunade's eyes dropped.

Just as Hiruzen said, she also didn't confess the inside story of how she got over her hemophobia...

Tsunade also has her own pride. Her self-esteem cannot accept that she is the one being plotted against. Only through coercion and guidance did she overcome the fear that had held her back for many years and walk out of the shadow of hemophobia.

This was more difficult for her to accept than killing her.

"Damn it..."

She let go of Hiruzen's collar, turned around and strode towards the water tank on the hospital terrace, punching it!

"boom!!!!!!"

The iron sheet of the water tank was punctured, and the water inside, under the agitation of the strange force, broke through the back wall of the water tank and gushed out, sweeping away the clothes drying on the rooftop platform opposite! !

"Regarding your explanation of the pendant, I will just take it as what you said, old man Sarutobi!"

Pulling her arm out of the iron sheet, Tsunade put the pendant back on her neck and looked back at Hiruzen, "But... I still hate people like the Hokage."

"Let me make this clear first. After helping Kushina through this dangerous period of labor, I will leave the village again. I don't specify when I will come back next time."

Hiruzen smiled and said, "I never wanted to restrain you. I just ask you not to use that pendant as a bet. It's fine if you lose it..."

Tsunade raised a charming smile, "Of course, this is mine, baby."

Hiruzen smiled with relief, he understood... the treasure Tsunade was talking about was not the pendant, but the will of fire that was passed down from generation to generation in Konoha and was entrusted to the pendant.

Putting away his smile, he warned: "Kushina will give birth in the barrier behind the mountain of Konoha. Lake Biwa will also be there by then. Although your medical ninjutsu is top-notch, you have no experience of giving birth yourself. It will be safer to have her take care of you."

……

At night, the high tower of the Hidden Rain Village.

Nagato stood on the relief outside the tower, staring at the rain in the night sky in a trance.

This is what he looked like after returning from the underground base.

Now, Feng has been born successfully, and the second life plan has been successfully implemented.

Right now, what he is about to face is the Nine-Tails Rebellion in Konoha ten days later, on October 10th, Naruto’s birthday!

This will directly affect the life and death of the Minato couple, as well as his future vital interests.

Needless to say, as for the life and death of Minato and his wife, Nagato definitely hopes that they can survive.

However, the most important interest is the ownership of the Nine-Tailed Fox.

Nagato must obtain the power of the Ten-Tails one day in the future.

The most important part of the Ten-Tails is the Nine-Tails!

Uzumaki Kushina... is the Nine-Tails's Jinchuriki, and this is a reality that Nagato must face.

Given this reality, even if the Nine-Tails Rebellion is prevented from happening now and the Minato couple survive, the tragedy will happen again one day in the future.

The only difference is that the culprit will be Nagato instead of Obito.

So, just let it go? Let the consequences take their own course?

No...that result was not what he wanted.

He is a person who longs for bonds, especially the bonds of affection between family members.

It's true that his interference had changed some things... For example, Konoha now had an unprecedented level of combat power.

However, the world is changing dynamically, and the changes he brings will also trigger new changes.

In many ways, I still have to get involved.

How can I preserve what I want to preserve and get what I want?

After thinking about it... there is only one solution.

"Nagato, are you worried about something?" After taking care of Feng to sleep, Konan came to Nagato's side.

"Xiao Nan, I might have to go on a long trip."

"Where?"

"Sunagakure Village."

Xiaonan was surprised: "So sudden. When are you leaving?"

"Time is urgent, we may have to leave soon..."

"Then I'll go clean it up."

"No, you stay and take good care of Feng. It's enough for Scorpion to accompany me on this trip!"
