In Naruto, build the strongest Hidden Mist Village.

Chapter 145 The Heaven-Sealing Golden Lock, Chains Transform into a Great Sun. Nagato's Choice.
"Senior Tree".

With a few drops of his own blood added by Kaguya Naoki and the enhancement of Nagato's vortex physique, the poison gas that had previously immobilized him seemed to have lost its effectiveness, allowing him to struggle to his feet.

But my body is still not enough to deal with Danzo.

Only, Tree Senior!

Nagato turned to Kaguya Naoki, his eyes pleading.

"Senior Tree, please help the teacher."

"Don't worry, we're from the same clan. Since it's your dream and your teacher, I will definitely do my best to protect it!"

Tree senior.

Almost instantly, Nagato felt a surge of heat coursing through his heart.

Trust has reached an unparalleled level.

Unable to bear the scorching gaze, Kaguya Naoki looked up at Jiraiya, who was already staggering in the poisonous gas, and looked puzzled.

Why not keep using all the cards you have up your sleeve?

I'm about to die.

He shook his head, deciding not to consider it anymore.

None of that mattered to him anymore.

I'm about to make my move; this is about to end.

Naoki Kaguya straightened up, chakra surged in, and countless golden chains extended from her back, reaching into the air. As they fluttered in the wind, they also displayed strange runes under the infusion of chakra.

not enough.

The Yang Release chakra generated only by the Uzumaki physique is still not enough.

Corpse Bone Vein, please return to your place.

In an instant, the chakra created from Kaguya Naoki's body and bones climbed along the invisible tail and attached itself to the Adamantine Chains. The flowing runes shone brightly, then dimmed instantly.

Immediately following behind were chains that shot skyward.

Supported by those chains, Kaguya Naoki's figure suddenly rose dozens of meters into the air.

Perched high above, surrounded by golden light, it resembled a celestial being.

Diamond Lockdown.

Five, six, nine!

The limitations of that vortex physique were broken through with the help of Kaguya Naoki's incredibly powerful Yang Release chakra!
Nine enormous chains extended outwards from the center of Kaguya Naoki's hand. These chains pierced through the dark clouds that had just blotted out the sun, revealing a golden glow. As the clouds dissipated with the shattering of the chains, the nine chains that had obscured the sky were revealed.

It's like a birdcage!
A birdcage that blots out the sky.

Under the weight of the birdcage, everyone felt an uncontrollable sense of anxiety about being trapped!
This was not the end, as the golden light gradually brightened.

The original birdcage gradually transformed into a giant golden sun.

A giant sun overhead!

This scene was deeply imprinted in everyone's eyes.

The Akatsuki members, who had just been staggering and struggling to breathe, couldn't help but sit up and stare at the scene before them, their mouths agape.

The ninjas of Amegakure were also wide-eyed with disbelief.

These ninjas, who have only ever lived and worked in Amegakure since birth, and whose only known ninja is Hanzo, have never witnessed the battles between Konoha and Kirigakure. They have no idea what a powerful ninja who can change the world's landscape truly is!
They originally thought that Hanzo was the pinnacle of all ninjas!

But when what they saw today came into view, they simply stared at the giant sun and murmured.

Is this really still a ninja?

So powerful.

Is it really possible for us to defeat such a monstrous being?
Their eyes shifted, looking at Hanzo, the demigod of the ninja world.

The previous trust and respect are gone.

All that remains is the inevitable arising of doubt.

Lord Hanzo, are you really a demigod?
If he can be considered a demigod, then what is this overwhelming attack?

and also.

If he could be considered a demigod, why would he care about anything related to the Akatsuki, to the point of shamelessly launching a sneak attack on Nagato and his group?

For a moment, the ninjas of Amegakure were shaken.

"Keep an eye on them all."

Hanzo brandished his scythe, gazing intently at the giant sun in the sky, a sense of retreat creeping into his heart.

But if that's the case, where is the face?
"I will drive out all ninjas who dare to invade Amegakure!"

With the defensive pressure reduced, Hanzo seemed to have stopped his desperate attacks.

Anyway, at least I can finally rest for a while.

Jiraiya wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and slowly exhaled.

Hanzo, even after all these years, is still so difficult to deal with.

Venom, what a nuisance.

However, we're not without options. I'm about to faint, but I'll have to give it a try.

As Jiraiya muttered this, a giant sun pierced through the purple mist, illuminating his swaying shadow, which flickered before his eyes, causing him to freeze in shock.

He couldn't help but turn his head.

All I saw was a gigantic sun that blotted out the sky.

What's happening here?
Jiraiya considered himself to have seen many grand occasions, but he had never seen anything like this before.

This is a scene that resembles that of a god.

wrong.

It should be somewhat familiar.

I feel like I've heard that before?
Jiraiya suppressed his shock, frowned, and after a moment's recollection, a name appeared in his mind.

Naoki Kaguya!

Not long ago, he heard from others that Kaguya Naoki's techniques were also like those of a god; otherwise, Konoha would not have collapsed so quickly and been defeated so soon.

This guy's technique seems somewhat similar.

Jiraiya quickly shook his head, rejecting his own idea.

how can that be possible?
It's impossible for Kaguya Naoki to possess so many bloodlines at the same time. This Uzumaki Itsuki in front of us must be an unparalleled genius of the Uzumaki family.

only.

That's ridiculously strong!
That's just right.

It was worth all the time I spent delaying.

Since this is a battle we must win, I will do my best!
With his fighting spirit burning, Jiraiya was about to make a move and take the initiative.

The sun is moving at this very moment, faster than him.

The nine chains converged and merged into one, becoming a dazzling yellow pillar of light. In the midst of the flashing light, even with difficulty opening their eyes, they could only see a golden pillar of light piercing through the sky and crashing towards Hanzo!
unstoppable!

unstoppable!

Alarm bells rang in Hanzo's mind, yet he still raised his scythe.

Even if we want to escape, we need to figure out exactly what kind of power he's using!

His eyes widened as he frantically tried to memorize everything before him.

It was a golden beam of light that instantly swept away all the purple poisonous gas.

It's a strange power that can corrupt my poisonous mist!
In the split second between life and death, adrenaline surges, and the mind races.

Whirlpool Clan, Vajra Chains!
So, it's a seal!
It's a seal!
This is a seal!

It can actually seal away the poisonous mist directly?

How can it be!

Faced with this illogical scene, Hanzo immediately abandoned all thoughts of resistance.

Run away!
The only option is to escape.

The summoned beast was connected to Hanzo's mind; almost the instant Hanzo leaped onto his head, the summoned beast had already flown away into the distance.

Jiraiya got up to give chase, but there was only another cloud of purple poisonous mist.

Helpless, he stopped and watched the golden beam of light fall.

puff puff!

That was a cloud of flying blood mist.

Bang bang bang!
That was dust kicked up by the collapsed mountain peak.

The golden pillar of light gradually dissipated, but the rising blood mist still lingered in the air.

Naoki Kaguya slowly landed on the ground, and said in a deep voice.

"I have exhausted my strength and can no longer pursue Hanzo."

"Ladies and gentlemen, I am truly sorry."

Clearly, no one took his words to heart; they simply stared wide-eyed at everything before them.

What a joke.

Even if Kaguya Naoki were to arrive here, she would still look like this.

Jiraiya couldn't help but sigh.

This is the Tree Elder, this is the power of the vortex!
As Nagato watched the golden chains pierce through the mountain peak, he couldn't help but stand up and raise his fist.

Tree senior.

Thank you, senior tree.

Xiao Nan clenched her fists, her eyes filled with tears.

That's good, that's good.

Yahiko let out a long sigh of relief, then collapsed to the ground.

The Akatsuki organization still has a future. What about me?

He's just a paralyzed disabled person.

Do I still have a future?
-
"Nagato, Konan, take good care of Yahiko. I'm going back to the village."

Jiraiya glanced at Yahiko, who was still depressed in the ward, with considerable concern, and gave him a few careful instructions.

"This time, I will try my best to make Danzo retract his order to hunt down the Akatsuki."

"Perhaps, teacher."

Nagato's tone was somewhat low.

"What if there's no way to change the Fourth Hokage's decision?"

"So where should we go from here?"

"I."

Jiraiya rarely gets a proper meal.

"Teacher, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to make things difficult for you, but since Yahiko can't stand up, then I have to take on more responsibility."

"This is growth, and it's a necessary step. Nagato, you did the right thing. I don't mind at all; on the contrary, I'm very happy."

Jiraiya looked at the prophesied child with a look of satisfaction.

Then, his expression turned serious once again.

"If Konoha can't accept us, then we should find a way to leave the Land of Rain."

"what?"

"what!"

Nagato and Konan both looked up in surprise, seemingly finding it hard to believe that they could hear such words from Jiraiya.

"Teacher, is the purpose of our Akatsuki organization to bring peace to this constantly weeping nation? Are we just going to leave like this?"

"of course."

Jiraiya nodded very seriously.

"You naturally know the reason."

"You cannot simultaneously face the combined attacks of Amegakure and Konoha in the Land of Rain."

All I can do is leave.

As Jiraiya finished speaking, he couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

It was all Danzo's doing. Why did he suddenly go crazy and want to attack Akatsuki? Did he really not know that these were all his disciples, Jiraiya's disciples?
Or is it my fault?
Thinking of what the Root ninja had said before he died, Jiraiya's mood turned sour.

If Danzo truly considered these members of Akatsuki as his helpers, his teacher's helpers, then he would not have shown any mercy.

Realizing this, Jiraiya immediately added.

"Nagato, take the Akatsuki and evacuate the Land of Rain first. Otherwise, if you suffer some kind of annihilation while I'm gone, that would be terrible."

In the end, Jiraiya slowly shook his head.

"Teacher, we will leave."

After thinking for a long time, Nagato finally raised his head and replied with difficulty.

"But one day, our Akatsuki organization will return here!"

"Of course, you can come back." Jiraiya smiled and waved his hand.

"I'm leaving now, Nagato."

"goodbye teacher."

Nagato slowly waved his hand, watching Jiraiya's figure disappear on the horizon. He then turned his gaze to Tree-senpai, who had exhausted himself protecting everyone.

This is my most reliable mentor.

Moreover, he had also wandered the ninja world.

His advice will definitely be reliable.

With this thought in mind, Nagato composed himself and immediately spoke.

"Senior Tree".

"We must leave the Land of Rain."

"Ah."

Naoki Kaguya responded.

"So, Tree-senpai, do you have any suggestions on where to go?"

"A suggestion?"

Naoki Kaguya pretended to think for a long time before speaking.

"The Land of Water".

"The Land of Water?"

Nagato and Konan both looked confused, then a bitter expression appeared on their faces.

Too far.

The Land of Water is too far from here.

If they go there, when will they be able to return to the Land of Rain and fulfill the Akatsuki's dream?

"and many more."

A flash of inspiration struck Nagato.

"Does Tree-senpai mean that we should go to the Land of Water to learn Kaguya Naoki's philosophy?"

"That's only part of the reason."

Naoki Kaguya slowly got up and walked into the house, with the two following closely behind.

One finger points to a pale yellow map.

"Having wandered the ninja world, I naturally know that the famous Danzo of Konoha Village, known as the Dark Lord of the Ninja World, fears Kaguya Naoki as if she were a tiger."

"If you enter the Land of Water, you will have a high chance of successfully avoiding an attack from Konoha Village."

Nagato and Konan exchanged a glance, their hearts fluttering slightly.

just.

It's still too far.

There are far too many variables on the road.

"at the same time."

"In Kirigakure, there is also a miraculous healing power that is said to be able to heal severed arms!"

"A severed arm?"

Konan's eyes immediately lit up as she looked at Kaguya Naoki, eager to get confirmation as soon as possible.

If the severed arm could be treated, wouldn't that mean Yahiko might still have a chance to stand up?

"Is this true, Tree-senpai?!"

Nagato nervously clenched his sleeves.

"it is true."

Naoki Kaguya nodded.

I was the one who led and promoted this project, how could it be fake?
"It is said that there have already been successful cases."

"I think we can let Yahiko go and give it a try."

"Let's go right now!"

Nagato made his decision almost instantly, and Konan did not object.

To them, Yahiko was the soul of the Akatsuki.

If the soul could be resurrected, all the suffering and hardship would be worth it!

"Ah."

"In that case, let's take action?"

"Let's get ready now!"

Nagato and Konan immediately stood up.

She had originally intended to keep the news to herself, but when Konan saw Yahiko still looking incredibly dejected, she couldn't help but speak up.

"Yahiko, there's hope for your legs."

My legs?
He managed to squeeze out a few words from his dry lips and rough throat.

Only now did those dim eyes finally lower their heads to examine their legs, which had almost completely disappeared.

"really?"

"real."

Xiao Nan almost burst into tears.

"Let's go to the Water Kingdom to heal our legs!"

Thank you all!

Yahiko raised his hands, hiding his entire face in shadow, filled only with gratitude.

Seeing this, Xiao Nan felt even more sorrowful.

Soon, the grief transformed into motivation. Looking at Yahiko, his expression turned solemn, followed by a chilling killing intent.

Yahiko, don't worry.

This time, no matter who tries to stop us, I will do everything in my power to kill them completely!

I will not be an incompetent person who can only hide behind my teacher, Tree-senpai, and Nagato.
