Simultaneous Transmigration: Minor Characters Don't Be Cannon Fodder

Nagato's life was temporarily saved.

Yahiko withdrew his hand from Nagato's chest.

He then ordered everyone to quickly clean up the battlefield, and then led the remnants of the Akatsuki back to their base.

After returning to their base, Yahiko and his group rested for about ten minutes to recover some of their strength.

Then they started to lead people to tally up today's losses.

"The casualty statistics are out."

The squad leader stepped forward and handed a list to Yahiko.

"In tonight's battle, 24 people were killed, 7 were seriously wounded, and 16 were slightly wounded."

"The condition of the seven brothers, including Nagato, who were seriously injured, is not optimistic."

"Our medical conditions are terrible; if this continues, they..."

As he spoke, the captain of the first squad couldn't help but look gloomy.

Upon hearing this, Yahiko paused for a moment, then patted the other person on the shoulder.

He said it with an optimistic expression.

"As long as they're alive, that's good. Tell the medical team to maintain their vital signs as much as possible."

"If you're missing anything, I'll figure something out. It should be resolved by tomorrow night at the latest."

The Akatsuki members had almost absolute trust in Yahiko.

Especially after this incident, they believed his words even more.

He believed that Yahiko would definitely keep his word.

He then pulled out another list and handed it to Yahiko, which listed the spoils of the seizure.

These guys at the root of Konoha are incredibly rich.

Each one is a small mobile armory.

The explosive tags, kunai, and ration pills recovered this time are more than enough to make up for the losses and still have enough to arm the remaining combat personnel to the teeth.

Yahiko seemed quite satisfied with this.

"Distribute the explosive tags, kunai, shuriken, and weapons."

"First, arm the combat personnel who are ready to act; we have new operations planned for tomorrow."

After he finished speaking, the squad leader was slightly taken aback.

He nodded and immediately stepped back to distribute the supplies as Yahiko had instructed.

Yahiko turned around and walked to the square table in the council hall, staring intently at the tower in the middle of the map of Amegakure on the table.

Although Hanzo escaped back, he was still seriously injured.

The injuries Nagato inflicted on him will definitely take more than six months to heal.

Therefore, strike while the iron is hot and kill him.

Hanzo is decaying; the Land of Rain needs new life.

He wanted to take this opportunity to completely eliminate Hanzo and thus gain control of the Land of Rain.

"You're going to kill Hanzo?"

Xiao Nan walked over at that moment.

She sensed Yahiko's thoughts and couldn't help but feel a little worried.

Even when injured, Hanzo remained a fearsome demigod in the ninja world.

Not to mention the central tower is heavily guarded, with ANBU ninjas everywhere.

Without Nagato's Rinnegan, it seemed far too dangerous for Yahiko to fight Hanzo alone.

However, Yahiko seemed quite relaxed about this.

He is now in immortal mode, wielding the Inch Heart Fist with his right hand and the Void Sword Qi with his left.

Even if the opponent is at his peak, he is confident that he can overpower him, even if the opponent is in perfect condition.

So he gently patted Xiao Nan's head and said confidently.

"Don't worry, Hanzo is old."

"Especially after being severely injured by Nagato, he posed no threat to me at all."

"Under Hanzo's leadership, the Land of Rain is declining day by day."

"That guy has lost all ambition, so I'll take this opportunity to have the Akatsuki replace him."

"Only by completely liberating the Land of Rain and relying on the resources of the entire country can we have the opportunity to engage in equal dialogue with other countries."

"So we can't miss this opportunity. Once Hanzo recovers, it will cost us many times more to deal with him."

"Besides, Nagato and the others can't wait any longer, given their current injuries."

"Without Hanzo's medical equipment, it's unlikely we'll survive tomorrow, so this time, I have to go!"

Yahiko's firm tone made Konan bite her lip involuntarily.

She knew she couldn't stop Yahiko.

So he hugged the other person tightly from behind, pressed his face against Yahiko and whispered.

"Then you must be careful and promise me you'll come back unharmed!"

Feeling Konan's heartbeat, Yahiko held Konan's hand and nodded softly.

"Yes, I promise."

The next day, in Amegakure, at the central tower.

Hanzo slumped in the chair that symbolized the highest power in Amegakure, his expression distorted beyond recognition beneath the mask.

Despite the medical department's emergency treatment, the injuries inflicted by Nagato were far more serious than he had imagined.

He probably won't be able to remove the bandages for at least six months.

The most serious consequence is the aftereffect: the chakra attached to his wounds is difficult to remove.

It's likely that Hanzo will need alcohol to fall asleep for the rest of his life.

But what hurt him more than his body was his pride.

The demigod who once dominated the ninja world and suppressed the Sannin has now been defeated by a mere brat without any power to resist.

This left him feeling incredibly frustrated.

Thinking of this, Hanzo couldn't help but swing his fist and slam it hard on the armrest of the seat, creating a deep dent.

"Someone come here!!"

An ANBU ninja appeared in response and knelt on one knee in front of him.

"Pass down the order: gather all the elite troops and surround the tower like an iron barrel."

"The leader of that group of traitors from Akatsuki is still alive and could attack at any time."

"Increase patrol efforts and set up trigger-activated barriers in every corridor and corner inside the tower."

"Without my order, not even a fly is to be let in!"

"Yes!" The secret service officer accepted the order and left.

Even after giving all these instructions, Hanzo was still uneasy.

He was too vulnerable at that moment; there was no shortage of ambitious people in the village.

There's always the possibility that someone could try to shut him down.

So he raised his hand again, summoned the salamander, and shouted in a deep voice.

"Fukui, release the poison gas."

"The entire tower, from top to bottom, was completely filled."

As soon as he finished speaking, the salamander opened its mouth, and a thick purple poisonous mist surged from the depths of its throat, spreading rapidly along the corridor and stairs.

Aside from the protective masks worn by Hanzo's confidants, almost no one could withstand the poisonous gas from the salamander.

After doing all this, Hanzo finally felt a little relieved, slumped back into his chair, and began to drink heavily.

Meanwhile, in the city under the cover of a rainy night.

Yahiko led his small team, quickly moving through the shadows of the steel building.

With Yahiko, who had activated Sage Mode, leading the way, they easily bypassed the numerous guards and arrived at the center of the village.

Beneath the central tower, the guards are unusually dense.

Even under the perception of Sage Mode, there were no loopholes.

Yahiko knew that he would probably have no choice but to take action next.

"Keep up with me!"

Yahiko identified a dark alley and led his men inside.

This dark alley has the most cover, and it is guarded by only 3 Jonin and 9 Chunin.

If Yahiko acts quickly enough, he might be able to sneak into the central tower before the defenses can react.

Then Yahiko took the lead and rushed into the rain, silently heading towards the three strongest guards.
