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

In the Sand Village, there was a deafening explosion and violent sandstorms hit the walls made of rammed earth.

The lights in the Japanese-style room flickered a few times.

Granny Chiyo finally came back to her senses from her shock.

She looked at the young man in front of her in surprise, his face seemed harmless.

"You said... Hanzo is dead?"

Nagato said calmly, "That's right."

"Who killed him!" asked Grandma Chiyo.

Nagato said calmly, "I."

"You killed Hanzo!?" Granny Chiyo stood up, her eyes wide open, filled with disbelief.

"Yes." Nagato replied calmly, picked up the teapot, and poured tea into his empty teacup. He glanced at Grandma Chiyo's teacup, which had not been touched from beginning to end.

"Mother-in-law, your tea is cold. I'll get you a new cup."

After saying this, without waiting for Chiyo's reply, he took Chiyo's cup, poured the tea into the waste bucket beside him, and filled a new cup.

Putting down the teapot and pushing the teacup in front of Chiyo, Nagato shook her own cup, sipping it slowly and waiting patiently. Grandma Chiyo came back to her senses from the shock of the facts.

“…”Finally, Grandma Chiyo sat back on the futon.

If Chiyo had heard those words at any other time or in any other place, she would have certainly sneered.

But the young man in front of him, wearing the forehead protector of the rebel ninja of the Hidden Rain Village, ignored the defense of the Hidden Sand Village, sat in front of him, drank tea, and talked calmly.

Language can be disguised, but momentum cannot be faked.

Granny Chiyo has seen countless people and is confident that she has this kind of judgment.

She raised her eyes and looked at Nagato again.

So that's how it is. I thought the red hair was just a coincidence. It seems that he has a close connection with the Uzumaki clan.

And... his eyes are different from ordinary people. I have only heard of this color and ripples. According to legend, the Rinnegan of the Six Paths Sage once appeared in the Rain Country.

From this perspective...it's not groundless.

She picked up the teacup in front of her, put it to her lips, and took a small sip.

After putting it down, her face regained its composure. "Really? Hanzo was killed by you. The ninja world is really full of talented people. Can you tell me your name?"

"Oh, I am sorry for being so rude." Nagato put down his teacup and said solemnly, "Junior, Nagato."

"Nagato. Since you didn't come to me for Hanzo's antidote, then I have nothing to give you. You should know that apart from medical ninjutsu, what I am good at is nothing more than some puppet tricks."

Chiyo's eyes turned deep: "These tricks should not be acceptable to the Samsara Eye, right?"

Nagato remained calm in the face of Chiyo's sudden verbal test. Since he had come in person, he did not want to hide the fact that he had the Rinnegan in front of Chiyo's mother-in-law.

For some reason, Scorpion, who was standing behind Nagato, quietly clenched his hands under his sleeves.

Now that all the cards have been revealed, it's time to... be honest and frank.

Nagato said: "Granny Chiyo, my eyes are indeed the Rinnegan. But... even with the Rinnegan, there are many things that are difficult to change."

"Today, I have gone through so much trouble to meet you, not for the antidote to the salamander poison, nor for your puppetry, but for another forbidden technique you have developed - Self-Reincarnation!"

"!?" As soon as Nagato finished speaking, Chiyo knocked over the teacup.

Her wide-open pupils were shaking with fear even stronger than when she heard about Hanzo's death!

"This is something only the Kazekage knows!!! How did you know this technique exists!!!"

But this one thing... Nagato couldn't tell him honestly.

He threw out the speech he had prepared long ago.

"My subordinate, Kabuto Yakushi, was once a multifaceted spy active in various countries. He infiltrated the Sand Village. You secretly developed this technique in order to give life to the puppets, but you couldn't hide it from his eyes and ears..."

Granny Chiyo suddenly realized: "So that's it, is it him, Kabuto, the spy from Konoha, who inherited the surname of the walking witch, Pharmacist Nono, who once infiltrated the Sand Village and once served as the captain of the Sand Village's medical corps. His level of medical ninjutsu is so high that even I am amazed. I didn't expect that even more sophisticated than medical ninjutsu is the ability of intelligence reconnaissance..."

"He... has become your subordinate now?"

"I'm sorry to make you laugh. Because he knows too much confidential information, even Konoha can't tolerate him. Let's just give him a place to stay."

"Since you know about 'Ji Sheng Zhuan Zhuan', you should know what kind of technique it is, right?"

"Yes, sharing one's own vitality in its original form is a way to sacrifice oneself and fulfill others..."

"Since you know this, then why do you want this technique?"

Granny Chiyo looked at Nagato seriously, "Based on your answer, I will decide whether or not to give you this technique. Let me tell you in advance, if your answer does not satisfy me, you can kill me and don't even think about me teaching you this. Also, I do not accept any threats, so don't threaten me with the Sand Village..."

"Okay, answer me."

"I, for..."

……

In the rain under the tower, Yahiko Tendō's questioning made the atmosphere drop to freezing point.

Attacking pregnant women...

Obito complained in his heart: This guy is always like this. Whenever I want to order him to do something, he finds a lot of moral reasons.

Before, I said I was mourning for Yahiko, and I also said I needed to take into account the relationship between master and disciple Jiraiya. This time, no matter what, I won't let him lead me by the nose.

So, Uchiha Obito said sternly, "That's right, they attacked the pregnant woman! That woman is Konoha's evil Nine-Tails Jinchuriki! She supports the balance of power among the big ninja villages! She gives the big ninja villages headed by Konoha the confidence to trample on small countries and villages at will!"

"That's right, that woman, Uzumaki Kushina! She and the evil offspring in her belly! They are the cancer that caused the ninja world to be in chaos! They are the original sins that should not exist in this world!!"

"Nagato, have you forgotten how your parents died? Have you forgotten how the Hidden Rain Village was devastated by the flames of war and shattered? Let's put aside Yahiko! Those companions of Akatsuki who once shared the same ideals with you are still alive today! And the great ninja village with Konoha as the evil leader, bathed in the pain of the small countries and the blood of those innocent people, has regained its glory after the war!"

"Boom!" Thunder and lightning roared, and Obito spoke loudly under the tiger-skin mask!

——"Nagato, as someone who is following the Mandate of the Six Paths and guiding you forward, I would like to give you a piece of advice: do not be too righteous and not considerate of the greater good!!!"
