I unleashed a Hundred Demons Parade in the Ninja World

This can be considered his final act of gratitude to the Rain Village ninja who have always followed and been loyal to him.

In the past, they were the ones who fearlessly expanded their territory without fear of death.

Today, it is I who have paved a way for them to survive.

"He told you Payne's secret?"

Seeing that their enemy had nowhere to turn, Heaven did not choose to act immediately.

Because the overall situation has already been decided.

After this, there was no longer any demigod Hanzo the Salamander in the Land of Rain!

But before that, Nagato, who was behind the scenes, wanted to figure out one thing: why the other side had been able to maneuver like a rat against them until now.

After all, if the secret of Pain's invincibility were exposed, it would undoubtedly be bad for the Akatsuki's future activities.

Moreover, it's likely that only that person knows this secret.

As for the former demigod of the Rain Kingdom, he has no interest in what his current mood is, or whether he is repenting for his past. He also has no penchant for torturing the dying.

【he.】

Without any hesitation, Hanzo of the Salamander thought of that person!

That young man with chilling eyes and boundless potential.

Looking at the Akatsuki leader, who had been turned into a puppet and remained forever young, he felt a sense of overlap across the torrent of time.

They were equally gifted, equally young, and equally ostracized by their own families.

In recent years, he has been mocking Shimura Danzo and Sarutobi Hiruzen for treating the Uchiha clan, a terrifying force, as a threat and a monster, and for knowing that they would eventually suffer retribution and backlash for such actions.

How could I not have regretted my past self?

"In the past, it was because I listened to Danzo Shimura's slander that the Akatsuki organization fell apart, which in turn plunged the entire Land of Rain into civil war."

"I was wrong about all of this."

Hanzo the Salamander did not answer the other person's question, but instead spoke to himself about some things that were suppressed deep in his heart.

He stared intently at the orange-haired youth who had come into view, his heart filled with overwhelming emotions of regret and sorrow.

If the Akatsuki were still around,

If the younger generation, led by Yahiko, could become his right-hand men...

So now, the Land of Rain must have broken through the cramped situation it had been trying to escape.

【Oh?】

A disdainful snort suddenly rang out from the dark cave.

【how? 】

【beg for mercy?】

No one will forgive you!

Absolutely impossible! !

The gaunt young man, seated on the special throne, muttered to himself, his expression twisting with emotion.

After more than a decade, the hatred he had suppressed deep in his heart could finally be released and vented!

"I don't think I asked you any unnecessary questions."

Standing atop the reef, Tiandao remained indifferent, his words showing no sign of being moved.

However, a subtle emotion flickered across the face of the woman who appeared in the dark underground pipes.

Because this is a demigod from the Land of Rain!

The arrogant man once single-handedly confronted three great nations, attempting to bring lasting peace to the entire ninja world through his own power.

But now, this very entity has actually apologized on its own initiative!

This was far beyond Xiao Nan's expectations.

Was it that person who brought about the change in him?

At this moment, all he could think of was the guy who had made a promise to him. Five years ago, he had also made some kind of agreement with the former, which was why the other person had become like this.

Hanzo has already realized his mistake.

He also regrets what he did in the past.

From now on, Amegakure will no longer initiate wars against Akatsuki, and there is no need for the ninjas of the Land of Rain to continue their internal conflict.

That night, the words that boy had spoken resurfaced in her mind.

Of course, a mistake is a mistake.

I will not interfere with your revenge, but I hope you can consider the common people of the Rain Kingdom and prevent further harm to those who have suffered so much.

At this point, what that person said had been completely fulfilled.

Even when Hanzo the Salamander used himself as bait to create an opportunity for his subordinates to leave the country, he did not use his terrifying and large-scale poison gas again.

This is why the last remnants of Amegakure were able to escape the country smoothly.

Otherwise, even if they were mixed in with the genin who were traveling from Konoha, they wouldn't be able to hide it from the Heavenly Path's technique.

This rain allows you to sense the strength of chakra.

Hanzo the Salamander could not deny the indifference shown by Pain.

After all, he knew he had hurt the organization far too much, and naturally he didn't want to be forgiven or pardoned.

'Wow. '

The metallic chain slipped from his grasp.

The fall of this weapon, which was unique to him, also signifies that Hanzo the Salamander no longer wants to escape, nor is there any need for him to escape anymore.

However, he looked again at the orange-haired youth in his field of vision and said seriously, word by word:

"Finally, as your senior, I would like to offer you a piece of advice: do not make an enemy of that person."

"Handing Itachi Uchiha, who defected to Akatsuki, over to that person is your best option; otherwise, the power you have painstakingly built will inevitably be implicated."

"Perhaps, it won't just be Akatsuki that will be affected; the entire Land of Rain may once again be plunged into war."

"He definitely has that kind of ability."

"You should also be very clear about how powerful hatred is."

"Alright, go ahead and do it."

Hanzo the Salamander still did not answer the other party's question, but instead spoke as if he were a wise elder who was about to die, offering some kind of advice.

As for that person's promise.........

After all his subordinates had safely evacuated the Land of Rain, he suddenly felt that nothing, including living, was so important anymore.

Over the years, he had long since had enough of living a life of self-imposed confinement in that palace.

And that person was right, it's no longer their era.

Such advice likely failed to resonate with Nagato.

Firstly, this was a warning from the person he most wanted to kill.

Secondly, I am not the kind of person who would easily abandon my companions.

Even if Itachi Uchiha's initial motives for joining Akatsuki were not pure, and even if he owed a huge blood debt behind him.

But once you join Akatsuki, you're part of Akatsuki.

As long as you don't betray the organization, you will always be their member and their comrade!

Even if those who join are a group of wicked people with blood on their hands and burdened with sins.

However, the ultimate goal of the entire organization is to create a perfect, peaceful world!

that's enough.

The Heavenly Dao said no more, for it knew clearly that it could no longer extract any important information from the other party.

So he casually threw out a kunai, which, carrying an indelible hatred, instantly pierced Hanzo's heart.

Just like the way Yahiko died back then.

'Snapped. '

The burly body, covered in countless wounds, swayed a few times before collapsing at the exit of the passage, its crimson blood slowly staining the surrounding water.

Such revenge is far too simplistic and perfunctory.

However, let's look at it another way.

The powerful being, once revered as a demigod by the entire ninja world, died alone in the unknown sewers, a truly lamentable end.

"Let's go, Xiao Nan."

"Next up is Konoha."

Sensing that Hanzo the Salamander had completely disappeared, Pain spoke indifferently.

For them, this was something that could have been resolved long ago. The reason for leaving it until now was simply because they were worried that the sudden death of Hanzo the Salamander would draw the attention of the surrounding major powers to the Land of Rain, thus causing inconvenience to their subsequent actions.

However, according to the message brought back by White Zetsu, Iwagakure seems to have suffered irreversible damage not long ago, and even Onoki has not shown up in the village for a long time.

Therefore, the balance in the entire region has been broken, and Konoha and Sunagakure will inevitably focus more attention on each other or on the Land of Earth.

The subsequent actions of the Rain Country were no longer constrained.

As for the neighboring Grass Country and Iron Country, they are not worth mentioning.

"Yes."

"But Pain, about Itachi Uchiha."

Nagato might not care about what Hanzo of the Salamander said earlier, but Konan has no choice but to care.

Her thoughts are much more delicate than the former's.

The warning from the former was indeed valid; they genuinely did not want to see the Akatsuki organization, which was just beginning to take shape, face destruction once again.
