In Naruto, build the strongest Hidden Mist Village.

Chapter 143 Jiraiya, you traitor!

"Shinra Tenzheng!"

An invisible repulsive force spread outwards from Nagato's body towards the rain of black kunai. The invisible ripples crashed like raging waves. With the vortex's constitution and the Rinnegan's enhancement, these surging waves almost completely interfered with and even shattered all the kunai.

Nagato was not complacent about what he had just witnessed. Through the cracks in the shattered kunai, he looked at the ninjas wearing strange masks behind the mountains and shouted angrily.

Who are you?!

Silence, a deathly silence.

Nagato narrowed his eyes, staring at the ninja who showed no desire to answer. The anger spreading in his heart had transformed into a chilling killing intent!
But he was worried, worried about everything behind him.

The purple-rimmed eyes shifted slightly as it looked behind it at the fluttering chains, the long white hair, and Lord Yahiko shouting from time to time.

He breathed a sigh of relief, while simultaneously raising the chilling killing intent he had just suppressed!
"If that's the case, then go die!"

Nagato leaped forward, ready to charge into battle.

Soon, he stopped involuntarily because of what he saw before him.

As the barrage of iron rain gradually subsided and the dust kicked up settled, the bright headband of Amegakure slowly came into view from behind the mountains.

Nagato clenched his fist.

It really is Amegakure!

The old tree's warning was correct!

Everything was a trap set by Hanzo the Salamander.

From beginning to end, they were all clueless idiots!
Gallbladderless, Hanzo the Salamander!
According to intelligence, the Hidden Mist ninjas should have already withdrawn from this area by the time I arrived.

and so.

Now is my time to shine.

Beneath the mask, a pair of white eyes were wide open, revealing the entire scene of this not-so-large camp.

Spies have nowhere to hide.

Here, there.

Naoki Kaguya murmured softly.

Each time the sound subsided, a splash of blood appeared.

but.

He, Kaguya Naoki, did not give it his all.

In those pure white eyes, there was also a hint of indifference, a disregard.

Only by enduring pain again and making the Akatsuki bleed enough blood can they succeed.

Only when he could no longer stand in Amegakure was Nagato able to learn to grow and eventually become someone under my control, Kaguya Naoki.

That being the case.

Why continue to try to kill these Akatsuki enemies?

Moreover, the vast majority of people in this Akatsuki camp should have died in this war anyway.

Now, because I, Kaguya Naoki, am here, their fate has changed.

Why can't we give back the fate that rightfully belongs to them?

"Go to hell!"

puff!

The Vajra chain pierced his throat, spurting out blood that dyed his once golden hair a blood-red hue.

"Thank you, Senior Tree!"

Having narrowly escaped death, Yahiko nervously swallowed, thanked Kaguya Naoki, and immediately threw himself into the battle.

Seeing this, Kaguya Naoki, who still hadn't stopped, shook his head inwardly.

There are too many spies.

The Akatsuki organization is destined to shed a lot of blood.

Huh?
Are you done killing them?

Naoki Kaguya stopped the Vajra Chains.

He turned to look at Nagato and Jiraiya.

"Nagato, I'm here to help you."

Jiraiya casually flicked his blood-stained hand and rushed to Nagato's side, who was still facing him. His white hair stretched out behind him, ready to strike.

"All things are attracted by heaven!"

As the fireworks in the camp gradually died down, Nagato let out a long sigh of relief, finally free from any worries.

Anger has been transformed into strength.

Cowardice vanished from the depths of my heart.

A chilling killing intent permeated the air.

With arms outstretched and wide open, a terrifying suction force spread, causing several ninjas from Amegakure who were positioned at the front to fly uncontrollably toward Nagato's location. The densely packed ninjas tried to grab them, but to no avail.

All I could do was stare wide-eyed as it all happened.

"die!"

Several kunai were forcefully shot from Yahiko's hand, piercing the throats of the several Amegakure ninjas who were already helpless.

The body fell to the ground, and the pool of blood that flowed down stained Jiraiya's long white hair.

The technique of the Eye of the Immortal is just that domineering and unparalleled.

Jiraiya sighed, his expression turning serious.

"Nagato, draw those masked guys over here. I want to see what they're all about!"

"Yes, teacher!"

Just as the masked Amegakure ninjas seemed hesitant about Nagato and Jiraiya joining forces, Nagato once again stretched out his hands.

The same scene repeated itself.

Even those who considered themselves elite ninjas were powerless against Nagato's power, ultimately being helplessly strangled.

"Ho ho!"

The ninja was struggling in agony, seemingly wanting to end his life as soon as possible.

Nagato casually brushed those hands aside, then simply lifted the mask off himself.

An ordinary face, an unremarkable appearance, cold and calm pupils, and hands that were trying to end their own lives.

However, it was precisely this hysteria hidden beneath the calm that sent a chill down Nagato's spine.

What kind of belief could turn these guys into ninjas who don't care about their own lives and just want to complete their missions?
At least, the Akatsuki's ideology could not forge such a person.

"Jiraiya-sensei, please investigate this guy's background. I, Tree-senpai, and the others will take care of the remaining ninjas."

"No need to guess."

Jiraiya felt a chill run down his spine as he looked at that familiar expression, and he had already guessed the master behind this ninja.

Danzo Shimura.

Only the Root ninjas under that guy's command would look like that.

"He is a Root ninja."

"Ho ho."

The Root ninja revealed a mocking expression.

"traitor."

"traitor."

"Jiraiya, you who keep claiming to be doing this for the village, you just leaked our information like this. Are you really doing this for the village?"

"I'm still working hard for your teacher who should have stepped down from the Hokage position a long time ago!"

In the end, the conversation almost turned into a question.

Don't just stand there like an idiot.

Jiraiya rolled up his white hair to block the kunai flying through the air, while also shouting loudly to wake up Nagato, who was shocked to learn that Jiraiya was a Konoha ninja.

"Nagato, go and hold off the enemy first, then gather intelligence."

Nagato looked at Jiraiya's face and slowly nodded.

As he turned to face the Root ninjas, a golden chain swept past his hair, easily reaping the lives of several ninjas who tried to charge forward.

"Nagato, together!"

Nagato nodded heavily, having completely trusted Uzumaki and regarding him as his most trusted elder.

"They managed to gather so many powerful ninjas without making a sound."

The Root ninja's previously indifferent face revealed a murderous intent.

"Jiraiya."

"To gather so many ninjas in order to fight against Lord Danzo, you really have ulterior motives!"

"I will not kill you."

Jiraiya responded to these questions in silence. He chose not to explain.

He knew that any explanation he could offer to Danzo's Root ninjas would be futile and powerless.

"I will go back to the village and explain to the Hokage."

"But today, I, Jiraiya, will fight for my disciple!"

A black mark extended from Jiraiya's hand, and the mysterious sealing technique remained forever on the body of the Root ninja.

Jiraiya tossed the Root ninja behind him, and with a flash, he appeared beside Nagato and Kaguya Naoki.

Before them lay an alliance between Amegakure and the Root ninja!

"Nagato, Itsuki, I'm in charge of the Rain Village ninja, and you should know why."

Nagato and Kaguya Naoki both nodded slightly.

Jiraiya immediately turned his head and looked intently at the trembling Amegakure ninjas, revealing his killing intent.

"What a bunch of rubbish."

The Root ninja looked at the Amegakure ninja who had become timid and uneasy because of the power displayed by the three people on the other side, and couldn't help but sneer.

"Don't forget, your Lord Hanzo is still waiting for your news!"

Upon hearing that name, the expressions of the Amegakure ninjas changed drastically. Some of the higher-ranking ninjas even glanced furtively at the Akatsuki base, but quickly concealed their glances.

In an instant.

The will to fight was stirred once again.

The Root ninja withdrew his eyes, which had been slightly trembling because of the Amegakure ninja, and began to perform ninjutsu without any emotion, following the training instructions.

"Wind Escape·Big Breakthrough"

"Fire Release·Fire Dragon Bullet!"

The billowing winds and clouds carried the raging flames that burned fiercely in the air, creating a scorching heatwave!

Don't forget, the Vajra Lock is a sealing technique.

Faced with this combined attack from numerous ninjas, which was almost capable of altering the terrain, Kaguya Naoki merely muttered something under his breath, seemingly unconsciously.

Several golden chains extended from his back and plunged into the flames in the air.

In an instant, as if an invisible barrier had formed, the combination of Fire Release and Wind Release, which had originally been full of momentum, turned into harmless ashes in the blink of an eye.

The Root ninjas watched everything unfold before them with expressionless faces.

The Amegakure ninjas, on the other hand, unleashed their unique ninjutsu with unwavering resolve.

"Water Escape: Great Waterfall Technique"

"Water Style: Water Dragon Technique!"

"Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet Technique!"

First, half of the ninjas mobilized all their chakra, took a deep breath, and released surging waves from their mouths on this mountain that could be described as a desert.

Taking advantage of the momentum of the wave, the remaining half of the ninjas either condensed into water dragons or transformed into water bullets, and water cannons powerful enough to destroy an army blasted towards the three of them.

It's the Diamond Lockdown again!

The attack composed of water-style chakra was transformed into fine raindrops by the swing of the Vajra Chains.

Looking at everything before him, Nagato exclaimed in genuine admiration.

Is this the power of the Uzumaki clan?
Mother is right.

If the Uzumaki clan possessed this power, they could truly protect their people!

Is this the power of the Uzumaki clan? It's truly formidable!

Jiraiya couldn't help but admire it in his heart, and at the same time, a huge weight was lifted from his heart.

Not long ago, he had decided to return to the village so that the village's further attack on Nagato could be cancelled.

But I still couldn't put my mind at ease.

After all, their enemy was Hanzo, a demigod of the ninja world, the one who defeated them and bestowed upon them the title of loser that would bind them for life.

The Legendary Sannin of Konoha.

Only a steady and powerful being like the Whirlwind Tree could guarantee the safety of the three of them.

As for further probing?
Jiraiya couldn't help but shake his head.

A bond forged in life and death is the best answer!

"kill!"

The swinging Vajra Chains, the unremarkable Shinrata Sei, and the skillful Jiraiya.

On this barren mountain peak, the three began an absolute massacre.

"Great."

"With Kiju-senpai, Jiraiya-sensei, and Nagato, we can deal with the attackers."

Ignoring his bleeding wounds, Yahiko stood on tiptoe and watched as the tide of battle turned completely in their favor before finally letting out a long sigh of relief.

"Yahiko, let's bandage the wound first."

This also eased the tension in her heart. Xiao Nan called out softly, the white bandage already soaked with sweat from her long-held grip.

"Treat our companions first."

Nagato turned around, snatched the bandage from Konan, and after carefully examining the fact that there were no visible wounds on Konan's body, he immediately rushed to his companion's side and carefully wrapped the bandage around her body.

"Thank you, Yahiko-sama!"

"This is what I should do."

"The Akatsuki should help each other!"

Yahiko waved his arms, a gentle smile on his face, as he carefully wrapped it up.

Xiao Nan looked at everything in front of her and couldn't help but smile.

Even the Water Shadow mentioned by Tree-senpai wouldn't be able to do this much.

Yahiko is still young; once he grows up, he will be able to achieve his goals immediately.

boom!
A violent explosion lit up in front of Xiao Nan, the flashing light reflecting in her pupils.

"Yahiko!"

Xiao Nan let out a heart-wrenching scream and rushed into the flames.

Just now, right before her eyes, the ninja who had been receiving bandages with a kind smile suddenly detonated the explosive tag, plunging Yahiko into the explosion!

If Yahiko dies.

It's all over.

Including their dreams!

Yahiko?

Hearing the heart-wrenching screams, Nagato couldn't help but turn around and look at the camp.

Flying high in the sky, and with the blessing of the Rinnegan, almost nothing in the camp could escape his eyes.

Was that firelight?

Is that Xiao Nan?

Xiao Nan ran crying into the firelight.

Yahiko? !
Almost instantly, he was about to turn and leave.

But at this moment, we have no choice but to continue!
not dead.

Following Jiraiya and Nagato's worried gazes, Byakugan quickly spotted that Yahiko, amidst the flames, still possessed a glimmer of life.

The probability of dying is not very high.

Even if he were alive, he would not be able to bear the responsibility for the future of the Akatsuki.

An opportunity is coming.

As Kaguya Naoki thought this, the figures of the ninjas reappeared in his Byakugan vision.

This time, however, it was the main character who arrived: Hanzo the Salamander.

Naoki Kaguya sighed, not out of fear, but because he was annoyed.

This is such a hassle, there are so many of them.
-
"These useless people."

"The people of Konoha are trash, and you are trash too!"

Looking at the chains that were occasionally flying in the distance, Hanzo, aided by intelligence, quickly guessed the general situation of the battle.

"I didn't expect that being surrounded by so many ninjas would still allow them to stand out so much."

"In that case, let this old man end them!"

"Let them see the power of a demigod in the ninja world!"

"Yes, Lord Hanzo!"

The Amegakure ninjas, their faces contorted with fervor, charged toward the hill.

Lord Hanzo is invincible!
