In Naruto, build the strongest Hidden Mist Village.

Chapter 144 Nagato is dying, I want to remove the title of the Three Legendary Sannin!

"Yahiko is still alive."

As Konan pulled a charred body out of the fire, still howling in pain, Nagato, with his Rinnegan activated, could clearly see Yahiko's undulating chest.

As long as you live!

Nagato breathed a sigh of relief, clenched his fists, and looked at the Rain Village ninja in front of him again.

Bloodlust runs rampant!
So, all we need to do next is deal with these guys in front of us, right?

That's all!

These beasts who dared to attack my companions, may they all die!

"All things are attracted by heaven!"

A Rain Village ninja was thrown about by the attraction, his throat was grabbed, and he died instantly, leaving only a scream.

Let you guys feel the pain of losing everything!

Nagato's hair flew wildly, quickly staining the once dark hillside with a thick layer of blood.

At the same time, there were also deafening screams of pain.

However, it seems that the screams came from more than one place?
Nagato was distracted and turned his head to look at the Akatsuki camp covered by the blood mist.

The faint sound crept into my ears, but gradually became clearer and clearer.

Open your ears wide and listen carefully.

That was a howl, the howl of a companion!
Nagato's eyes widened. Ignoring the Amegakure ninja in front of him, he immediately left the battlefield and flew towards his comrades.

He really couldn't accept losing it again.

Everyone, wait for me!
"poisonous!"

"The attack came from behind the mountain."

"Cover your nose!"

Screams echoed everywhere, and a faint layer of purple smoke could be seen spreading through the air.

As a result, the remaining members of the Akatsuki organization quickly became critically ill due to the smoke in the air.

Not to mention Yahiko!

Breathing is slowing down, and the heart is gradually stopping.

A tear welled up in Xiao Nan's eye.

"Yahiko!"

"Anyone who dares to treat Yahiko like this must die!"

The girl's hands flew, papers fluttered, and she charged towards the ninjas of Amegakure with a resolute determination!

Although Xiao Nan has not yet grown into the powerful figure of later generations, and although she has not experienced any major changes, she has not yet fully matured.

But when faced with the cold metal kunai thrown by the Amegakure ninjas, she can still transform into fluttering pieces of paper, flying around in the sky!

All of these physical attacks had absolutely no effect on Xiao Nan!
That's really terrifying, the Akatsuki.

Hanzo looked at everything before him and felt a chill run down his spine.

I thought it was just a Celestial's Eye, but I didn't expect there were others involved.

He silently raised his sickle.

Stab it!

A hooked sickle with a chain slipped through a gap in the group of Amegakure ninjas who were launching a sneak attack. With an incredibly sharp momentum, it sliced ​​through the wind and was about to pierce Konan's throat.

This swift, sharp, and tricky attack left Xiao Nan with almost no way to avoid it.

The Dance of Shikigami!

In an instant, Xiao Nan's body split into white sheets of paper that flew around in place.

The sickle slashed across, seemingly without causing any effect.

But the sickle was dripping with venom.

The venom fell onto each sheet of paper without any obstruction, creating a sizzling sound.

not good!

Xiao Nan exclaimed inwardly.

The fluttering papers suddenly became obscure, and Xiao Nan's body reappeared. She involuntarily fell forward, landing on the ground and spitting out a mouthful of blood as she kicked up dust.

He raised his hand, but it was numb and he couldn't move it.

I wanted to move my body, but I was struggling to breathe and felt completely powerless.

Xiao Nan collapsed helplessly, at his mercy.

A dense barrage of kunai arrived in response, about to pierce her body.

Faced with all this, she could only helplessly raise her head.

Nagato, Yahiko, I'm sorry, I tried my best.

You must survive!
"All things are attracted by heaven!"

Nagato's expression changed drastically, and he became very anxious. He raised one hand, and with the infusion of a large amount of chakra, an endless suction force erupted from it.

At that moment, Xiao Nan's body was snatched away from the kunai rain by him with great difficulty.

so far so good.

Nagato wiped the sweat from his forehead, looking at the demigod of the ninja world with a heavy heart.

You can't do it, can you? You can't defeat them with just my words!

That was Hanzo, who single-handedly stopped countless great powers.

Nagato had no confidence and could only place her hopes on her teacher and Tree-senpai.

With those two around, they should be able to wipe out all the Rain Village ninjas very quickly.

So what I need to do is very simple: I must delay as much time as possible.

They stalled for time until the teacher and senior tree were free to deal with the demigod of the ninja world.

Now, we must strive to maneuver for the sake of our comrades behind us.

Go for it, Nagato!

Barely suppressing his unease, Nagato leaped lightly to the front of all the Akatsuki members.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the Akatsuki members dragged all the still-living wounded and completely powerless comrades behind them.

Including Yahiko.

Nagato looked at the orange hair, a resolute glint in her eyes.

"Hanzo, why are you doing this to us?"

"We are simply pursuing peace. Is it wrong to pursue peace?"

As Lang Lang's words fell, the sound of dragging the hook scythe gradually became clearer, and the Amegakure ninja opened a crack, revealing Hanzo's figure.

"Still so naive, kid."

Hanzo narrowed his eyes, scrutinizing those purple pupils. He swallowed nervously before replying in a chilling voice, seemingly unconcerned about the passage of time.

"If you didn't have those eyes, I might really have allowed you naive brats to chase your unrealistic fantasies on this land that is destined to never have peace."

"Is it because of these eyes?"

Nagato raised his hand, rubbing his eye sockets, and looked at the corpses around him, feeling a pang of pain in his heart.

No.

How could it be my fault?

Wrong, it's Hanzo!

A hint of mockery flashed in Nagato's eyes.

"how?"

"Even someone like Hanzo, a former demigod of the ninja world who once protected Amegakure, would ruthlessly kill someone just because their rule is threatened?"

"Even though those you want to kill are also fighting for the Land of Rain?"

"so what?"

Hanzo took a few steps forward, his tone firm.

"The Land of Rain is the Land of Rain, and I am I."

"Everything must yield to my decision!"

"Including you, brat!"

"Then give it a try!"

Nagato noticed that the Rain Village ninja behind him was about to be wiped out by his teacher and Tree-senpai, and his voice suddenly turned icy cold.

He channeled all his chakra, opened his Rinnegan wide, and moved swiftly.

"A vermin like you, who has long lost all ambition and can only cling to the Land of Rain and suck its blood, should just die as soon as possible!"

With unparalleled momentum, Nagato moved as fast as lightning.

Upon seeing this, Hanzo instead revealed a cold smile.

"Kid, don't think you're the only one stalling for time!"

"Furthermore, by doing this, you're really walking right into a trap!"

Behind the hill, a hideous giant opened its mouth, spewing out a purple liquid.

"Kid, try this most terrifying poison gas in the world. Hopefully, it will teach you when to back down!" "Shinra Tensei!"

Just as the venom was about to engulf Nagato, he almost instinctively spread his arms and forcefully pushed the venom away.

But there are too many!
The venom spewed from that gaping maw once terrified even the entire army of Sunagakure. And today, their target is only one person!
During the brief intervals between Shinra Tensei attacks, countless drops of venom eagerly poured onto Nagato's body, simultaneously injecting venom into the wounds he had inevitably sustained while fighting the Amegakure ninja.

Furthermore, above the purple liquid, countless plumes of purple poisonous gas continuously poured into the mouth, ears, and eyes.

Almost instantly, Nagato felt short of breath, his body went numb, and he struggled to move.

Even those with the vortex physique lack the power to defend against all of this due to the power they bear from the Rinnegan!
Great!
Nagato felt bitter.

Consciousness gradually blurred.

Whoosh!

Just as Nagato's movements became sluggish and his consciousness slowed down, Hanzo remained vigilant and drew his scythe, ready to deliver the final blow!
Shinra Tianzheng!

Nagato staggered and dodged a scythe, but in the opening, another attack came.

"Psychicism!"

"King Kong Blockade."

Almost simultaneously, Jiraiya and Kaguya Naoki, noticing Nagato's perilous situation, swiftly moved to his rescue.

There's no need to hide it anymore.

With the blessing of Karin Uzumaki and her mother, and the physique resulting from the fusion of the special properties of the Corpse Bone Pulse and the Byakugan, the Vajra Sealing Technique has grown to an even more terrifying level!

In an instant, the golden chains expanded and grew larger, and the eerie sealing power even permeated the space due to this special transformation, causing the diffused purple poisonous mist to dissipate.

"The Whirlpool Tree!"

Jiraiya stepped on the toad's head and shouted solemnly.

"Don't come any closer, you have no way to deal with this poison."

"Don't worry, leave Nagato to me, you continue dealing with them!"

"what?"

Naoki Kaguya looked at the toad leaping into the air, puzzled.

Without Orochimaru and Tsunade's assistance, what methods would Jiraiya have to combat poison?
Unbeknownst to him, Kaguya Naoki, now filled with curiosity, slowed down her slaughter, her Byakugan locking onto Jiraiya's figure.

"Hanzo, a companion as intolerant as you is unworthy of the title of demigod!"

Jiraiya leaped onto Hanzo's back, riding a toad, and after taunting him mercilessly, seeing that Hanzo had no intention of attacking, he looked at Nagato with a serious expression.

Trouble.

With this thought in mind, Jiraiya carefully used his clone to lead Nagato out of the poisonous gas, and then looked at Hanzo again.

We need to get rid of this bastard as soon as possible so we can help Nagato detoxify.

"hehe."

Hanzo smiled.

"How come that toad brat who fought so hard for the village back then is now on the opposite side of Konoha?"

"I think there's no need to say such useless sarcastic remarks."

"Of course not."

Jiraiya secretly observed Hanzo's weakness and spoke in a cold voice.

"I, Jiraiya, will kill you today!"

"And by the way, completely remove the title of the Legendary Sannin of Konoha from my head!"

"Humph."

"What a ridiculous little brat."

Hanzo was somewhat sentimental.

"So you do know that you still bear the title bestowed upon you by this old man. Since you know how humiliating your defeat was back then, and you no longer fight for the village, why are you still trying so hard to stand in front of me?"

Jiraiya saw through the flaw.

Put your hands together.

"Of course it's because..."

"Behind me are my disciples, my dreams, and the hope to change this world!"

Gamabunta drew his long sword and slashed down heavily.

The toad-shaped oil bombs went off one after another.

"Is that so, kid?"

Hanzo looked at Jiraiya's figure with a look of nostalgia in his eyes.

Back then, I also had this mindset when I protected Amegakure, didn't I?
but.

That's all in the past!
Die, you toad brat!
"That's truly earth-shattering!"

"However, without an antidote, how will you defeat them?"

Naoki Kaguya shook his head, but a hint of admiration also welled up in his heart.

But he quickly suppressed all these emotions.

He casually killed the last Amegakure ninja, wiped the blood off his hands, and strode over to the remnants of the Akatsuki.

He reached out, slashed open his arm, and blood flowed out.

The drops fell into the mouths of the Akatsuki ninjas.

It was clear to the naked eye that the Akatsuki ninjas, who had been on the verge of death, were now staring wide-eyed as their bodies rapidly regained vitality.

"Thank you, Senior Tree."

Amidst the continuous sounds of gratitude, Kaguya Naoki walked up to Yahiko.

"Is this... a broken leg?"

Kaguya Naoki shook his head as he looked at Yahiko's injuries, which were similar to those of Nagato in his previous life.

This was completely unexpected.

Who would have thought that there would be a fearless spy who would rather risk his own life to drag Yahiko to his death?
but.

As long as I am here, there is hope.

"Come on, Yahiko, open your mouth and bite."

Naoki Kaguya helped Yahiko move his jaws and bite down on his own body.

Immediately, under Bai Yan's observation, his physical condition gradually improved, and vitality returned.

Consciousness will return to the body.

"Tree, senior tree."

"I."

"Keep biting."

Naoki Kaguya's expression was serious, while Yahiko was still not fully conscious and subconsciously obeyed the commands.

Shortly afterward, Yahiko's eyes cleared again, and he immediately released his mouth, staring wide-eyed in surprise.

"Senior Tree, what is this?"

"The blood of the Whirlpool Clan can help heal people."

Seeing the surprise in Yahiko's eyes, Naoki Kaguya offered an explanation.

"In that case, the rest of our organization."

Yahiko's face showed expectation.

"I have done my best to save them. Now I'm going to help Konan and Nagato. You stay here and don't move."

"I'll go as well."

As Yahiko was about to get up, he couldn't sense the existence of his lower body. Looking down, he only saw his vanished body.

The world stood still for a moment.

"Tree, tree, senior tree, where are my legs?"

"Gone."

As Kaguya Naoki spoke, he also felt somewhat suppressed.

"I."

"Can I still be saved?"

"You can survive, but your legs won't."

"Like this?"

Yahiko forced a smile.

"Senior Tree, please go help Konan first. Nagato, I'm fine. It's just my leg. It's nothing to a ninja like me!"

Naoki Kaguya nodded and turned to leave.

Two lines of tears slid down his cheeks. Yahiko raised his hand, which was cut from gripping the pebbles, and wiped away the tears.

"I can't stand up."

"How can the Akatsuki's dream be realized?!"
