Naruto: Who made him a ninja?

Xiao Nan frowned as she looked at Nagato before her. Her expression wasn't good, as she hadn't expected to receive such news.

They were about to enter the main city area of the Rain Country, becoming the de facto controllers of the Rain Country!

This also meant that Hanzō, who had once killed Yahiko, was now dead!

However, Xiao Nan had no idea what was going on, as if she had been deliberately excluded, which she found difficult to accept!

"Xiao Nan, I know what you mean."

Nagato looked at Xiao Nan and couldn't help but sigh before speaking seriously.

"But I have my reasons. You are the only family I have left. After what happened to Yahiko, I swore I would never let history repeat itself!

I'm sorry, Hanzō was strong, at least I thought he was, so please forgive my choice."

Nagato might be arrogant to others, even calling himself 'God'.

But when facing Xiao Nan, he still maintained his normal demeanor.

However, Nagato couldn't help but mutter to himself that Hanzō seemed to be only as strong as he had imagined.

After Xiao Nan left, Nagato began his own actions. With the information provided by Black Zetsu, he found Hanzō's location and launched an attack without hesitation.

However, to his surprise, Hanzō was like a rat in a sewer, completely losing his former sharpness and only knowing how to cower in his fortress.

Furthermore, his strength had declined significantly, no longer posing any threat to him.

Nagato still remembered the astonished expression on Hanzō's face when he recognized the identity of the Deva Path of Pain!

But Nagato had no pity. To him, he only felt hatred towards Hanzō, and he wouldn't show any mercy.

"Now, all that's left is Danzō Shimura of the Leaf Village."

Nagato muttered to himself, knowing exactly who his enemies and targets were.

However, looking at the silent Xiao Nan, Nagato knew she was probably in a bad mood, so he quickly changed the subject.

"Speaking of which, the situation with Iwagakure seems to be a bit troublesome, but you still managed to recruit Orochimaru successfully."

"Yes."

Xiao Nan nodded. The incident with Iwagakure was also deeply etched in her memory, whether it was the strength of Shū Sawa and the others, or the encounter with Jiraiya this time.

Thinking of this, Xiao Nan could only say.

"Nagato, I can let the matter of Hanzō go, but you must be careful when facing Konoha!

This time, I witnessed the abilities of Shū Sawa. That guy's strength is beyond our imagination.

And Orochimaru has already explained this guy's identity. He was recruited by Danzō from an orphanage.

Perhaps Danzō used some means to make him extremely loyal, but no matter what, he is a huge threat!

Not only him, but this time, we also encountered Master Jiraiya, I'm afraid..."

Xiao Nan had raised the danger level of Shū Sawa by several notches.

She really couldn't forget that giant wooden figure, that appearance wrapped in golden chakra. How dangerous such an enemy was!

And the most fatal thing was that she encountered Jiraiya during the mission and was recognized, which was definitely not a good thing for them.

"Master Jiraiya?"

Nagato was also somewhat helpless when he heard this. He had mixed feelings towards Jiraiya.

He would never forget the life-saving grace and the grace of education he had received back then, but at this moment, they had already embarked on different paths!

For him, after experiencing Yahiko's death at his own hands, he had completely stopped believing in Jiraiya's ways.

Yahiko once believed it without a doubt, but what happened?

In the end, he was still betrayed, persecuted, and ultimately died!

This already explained everything. Without strong power, others simply wouldn't listen to a word you said.

And when facing a malicious person with good intentions, you will always be the one who suffers the most. Never have any illusions!

Therefore, he listened to the guy who called himself Uchiha Madara and embarked on this path, a path completely different from Yahiko and Jiraiya.

Of course, he wouldn't believe that so-called Uchiha Madara either. He would use his own way to create peace!

"Master Jiraiya is indeed a trouble, but we are not who we used to be.

I won't let him impose his will on us. We have our own choices!

If he really wants to block our path, then..."

Speaking of this, Nagato's expression changed slightly, and there seemed to be a fierce look in his eyes.

"I can only be sorry. I will clear all obstacles, even Master Jiraiya!"

Nagato's heart was very firm, or rather, he had already prepared himself. Xiao Nan opened her mouth slightly when she saw this, but in the end, she didn't say anything.

She knew she couldn't change all of this. She also knew that once they embarked on this path, they would be at odds with Jiraiya. This was an unchangeable fact.

"As for that brat, Shū Sawa..."

Nagato sighed in his heart, and then simply changed this heavy topic.

"He does seem to be a bit of a trouble. If it were later, it wouldn't matter, but now, the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path still needs me to constantly inject chakra..."

"I understand, but perhaps we can make him not an enemy."

Xiao Nan nodded. She had also heard about the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path. However, she also thought of what Orochimaru had said, and she suddenly had an idea.

"Oh? What do you mean?"

Nagato was a little puzzled. He didn't have any good feelings for Danzō's subordinates, but their current situation was indeed a bit delicate.

"Orochimaru mentioned this kid's background, especially this time when we were collectively used by Danzō, and this guy was also involved."

Xiao Nan pondered for a moment, then repeated what Orochimaru had said. Although Nagato knew some of the results, he didn't know much about the details.

He only knew that Iwagakure had suffered a great loss this time, and that this time it also involved that Uchiha Obito's problem.

As for other things, he himself didn't fully understand.

However, after hearing Konan's words, his gaze also became a bit surprised. He didn't expect Danzo Shimura to be so perverted.

Using photos to deceive, making the closest people kill each other, and finally having Orochimaru finish things off to ensure everyone was dead?

And this was just one part of his plan?

The real purpose was to make Hidekazu hate Orochimaru, and in order to kill Orochimaru, he would have to obediently be his dog?

Their Akatsuki organization was also a part of the plan, just to ensure Orochimaru wouldn't die?

What a sinister calculation, what a vicious method, is this the so-called darkness of the ninja world, Danzo Shimura?!

"This guy, we really should have killed him first. I didn't expect his methods to be so evil."

After hearing all the words, Nagato's expression was not very good. It wasn't that he sympathized with the pair of poor people who killed each other.

But with a Danzo Shimura like this, how difficult would it be to get rid of him!

"No one knew he had such methods."

Konan also sighed, but then her eyes became serious.

"So I think, perhaps we can use this point to see if we can recruit Shizawa Hidekazu."

"Recruit him?"

Nagato was also a little tempted when he heard this, after all, that guy's strength was really strong, but after a moment he shook his head.

"I'm afraid it's difficult. He is loyal to Danzo. You can tell from his hesitation to attack Orochimaru.

And after he goes back, Danzo may bewitch him, making him believe that Orochimaru killed his closest person. I'm afraid there's no chance anymore."

"I know, but if we can try, why not give it a shot?"

Konan looked at Nagato seriously and shook her head gently, then her eyes became a little fierce.

"After all, we have Orochimaru to assist, and if the worst comes to the worst..."

"Such a troublesome person, if we can kill him in advance, it will be like cutting off one of Danzo's arms!

At the very least, we can further collect information about him to prepare for the future!"

This time, Konan could feel Hidekazu's youth. If this guy is allowed to continue to grow, then there will definitely be big trouble in the future!

If we can absorb him, we will, if we can't, we can only be enemies, then Konan must be prepared for everything.

"Okay, I understand."

Nagato was also a decisive person. After hearing Konan's words, he nodded directly.

"Then you negotiate with Orochimaru. Such a dangerous person really needs to be taken seriously!"

"No problem, I will talk to Orochimaru."

Konan nodded, then she suddenly thought of something, and then lowered her voice.

"By the way, Nagato, what do you think of that Uchiha Obito?"

Uchiha Obito?

Nagato frowned slightly. Of course, he understood Konan's meaning and knew what Konan was referring to.

That guy who calls himself Uchiha Madara is extremely good at space ninjutsu, and always wears a mask to disguise himself, making it impossible to see what he looks like.

Such a mysterious guy, it's hard not to make Nagato and Konan curious, and now these wanted orders in the ninja world seem to be revealing the answer!

Because many of the details in this can be matched, then, does this mean that the guy who calls himself Uchiha Madara is actually an unknown nobody, Uchiha Obito?

Otherwise, why did Konoha directly specify that Uchiha Obito is in their Akatsuki organization?

Could it be just because they absorbed a few rogue ninjas?

"Forget it, don't bother with him."

After a while, Nagato shook his head gently.

"I have never believed him, and I don't care who he is. All I want is his strength and his information."

"Whether he is an unknown nobody or Uchiha Madara, it's all the same to me!"

"However, I will not let my guard down just because he is Uchiha Obito."

"Is that so? That's really interesting."

In the room below the tower in the Land of Rain, Orochimaru looked at Konan's back as she turned to leave, and a smile couldn't help but appear on the corner of his mouth.

What Konan said to him this time really made him feel interesting, because Akatsuki was actually interested in Hidekazu?

"But this is not surprising, after all, it is the self-awakened Wood Release."

Thinking of the strength shown by Hidekazu, Orochimaru couldn't help but feel a little palpitation in his heart.

He still remembered that meeting three years ago. Although this kid performed well, in his eyes, he was just that.

After all, at that time, in his eyes, Hidekazu was just a pawn abandoned by Danzo, who was placed in the Anbu to monitor Uchiha Shisui.

A civilian ninja who was smart, but because of his own bloodline, it was difficult to have any future.

But as time went by, in just three years, this kid had already reached this point.

Not only did he master the Flying Thunder God Technique, but he also awakened the Wood Release that ordinary people could hardly imagine, which made Orochimaru feel surprised!

"So, Danzo's actions this time are not surprising. If it were me, I might also try it, but the methods are too clumsy."

In Orochimaru's view, Danzo's brainwashing methods have never been very good. He has always used coercion, or used some kind of curse seal or hatred to control a person.

He is not like him at all, who would use various methods to make people trust him, rely on him, rather than through some external force.

Therefore, Orochimaru's attitude towards Danzo's approach is both recognition and disdain.

However, this time, Orochimaru was also annoyed.

"Do you really think that you can just treat me as a pawn and play chess on the board at will?"

Orochimaru's eyes were slightly blurred. He kept firmly in his heart what that bastard Danzo had done!

Even if Konan didn't speak, he was planning to take revenge, and now he seems to be able to rely on Akatsuki's resources to do something, why not?

"That's right, since you are looking for me, then I also know what to do."

Thinking in his heart, Orochimaru walked to the table and casually picked up a scroll.
