I, who just wanted to be lazy, was forced to become the Hokage.

Chapter 518 You're going too far!

Watching a future "nuclear pacifist" talk to me about "wanting peace."

A very strange feeling would well up in Nara Rinka's heart.

The future Nagato—or rather, Payne—dreams of "making the world feel pain."

What does it mean to make the world feel pain?

It's not as extreme as killing everyone in the world.

Pain only wanted to collect the Tailed Beasts and then use their power to kill hundreds of millions of people at once.

In that case, everyone in the world would feel fear and pain because of it.

And then, the world was at peace!

What should Nara say about the laurel?

This nuclear peace plan sounds like a perfect, wonderful thing – like a swan coming home to its mother and knocking on her door!

Of course, the current Nagato is not the future "Kami (a misheard pun on God)".

Before personally going to the Land of Rain, Nara Rinka had specifically learned about the current situation of the Akatsuki organization.

Upon seeing that Yahiko was still alive, Nara Ranke knew that the Akatsuki organization was still the innocent and truly peaceful organization it once was.

It's that peace organization that wants to achieve world peace without resorting to extreme force...

But things like "world peace".

It's one thing to fool these ninjas who supposedly didn't even finish prenatal education and are considered elites just by graduating from elementary school.

Nara Rinka doesn't believe such nonsense.

If Nagato wants to use the Rinnegan, then he should get Nara Rinka involved in the grand plan of "world peace"...

Nara Rinka would simply take the Rinnegan and then conveniently put a coffin lid on the Akatsuki.

"Akatsuki's mission is to create world peace without resorting to extreme force."

Nagato was unaware of Nara Rinka's inner feelings; he simply answered very seriously.

"Konoha is the strongest ninja village, and the Land of Fire is the strongest nation. You can definitely bring peace to the world."

These words would make even the Uchiha clan roll their eyes!

Nara Rinkazu thought for a moment, and with a relaxed attitude, in line with Nagato's words, quickly came up with a "grand plan for world peace"—

It's actually the kind of system that Nagato wants to implement in the future.

"Want world peace? It's actually quite simple."

Nara Rinka is spouting nonsense with a straight face.

"Actually, I have mastered a ninjutsu similar to the Tailed Beast Ball, and I also have an incredibly beautiful white deer that can take turns using the Tailed Beast Ball with me."

"Today I'll go to Kumogakure and release a Tailed Beast Ball, tomorrow I'll go to Iwagakure and release another Tailed Beast Ball, and the day after tomorrow I'll go to Sunagakure..."

"If we could just kill off a few hundred million people, no one would dare to fight Konoha anymore, and then world peace would surely be achieved!"

Considering Nagato's feelings, Nara Ranke deliberately did not use the strategy of "collecting tailed beasts with the Rinnegan", but instead chose the "clumsy method" of the [Tailed Beast Ball].

Everyone present was stunned into silence.

Yahiko and Konan opened their mouths wide, but couldn't utter a single word.

"you……"

At this moment, Nagato's round eyes seemed to turn into mosquito coil eyes.

"That's a bit too extreme..."

"The Yondaime!"

Jiraiya, who had just been standing to the side with several disciples, rubbed his head and offered some advice.

"Don't make such a terrible joke!"

Compared to the bewildered three leaders of the Akatsuki organization.

Jiraiya understood even more clearly the terrifying nature of what Nara Ranke had said.

What is the most terrifying aspect of this?

It is true that Nara Rinka possesses this ability!

Jiraiya knew that Nara Rinke possessed a technique similar to the Tailed Beast Ball, and he also knew the name of that technique—Dark Spiral Wheel.

Not only that, Nara Rinka also possesses a unique and improved version of the Flying Thunder God Technique!

So that means...

From a purely theoretical perspective.

Nara Rinka could absolutely execute such a horrific plan as "Flying Thunder God Technique + Tailed Beast Ball"!

He doesn't even need the long process of "today, tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow".

With the extremely high efficiency of the Flying Thunder God Technique.

Nara Rinka could easily bombard the entire ninja world in a single day!

If he has enough chakra, he could blast his way from the coastline of Kirigakure to the edge of the desert in Sunagakure...

Thinking about it this way, Jiraiya felt quite terrified.

Seeing how enthusiastically Nara was talking, Jiraiya almost thought that the other party really intended to do it.

Until he heard the other person's response.

"It was your apprentice who joked with me first."

The smile on Nara Ranka's face vanished in an instant.

"World peace? Jiraiya-sama, you've already taught a great disciple like Minato Namikaze, so why do you still have such a foolish and naive disciple?"

"Or perhaps, Minato Namikaze wasn't actually trained by you?"

Jiraiya's head was throbbing from hearing those words.

Nagato's statement was naive—well, not just naive, but…

Jiraiya moved his lips several times, unsure how to answer Nara Ranka's question.

World peace?

Having fought his way through World War II, Jiraiya also believed it was a lie.

He had originally placed his hopes for world peace on the prophesied son.

As it turned out, the prophecy of Mount Myōboku changed as quickly as a snake shedding its skin...

Jiraiya had experienced and seen a lot.

Let alone any talk of ninja world peace.

Even in a "sacred place" like Mount Myoboku, there are toads mixed with black toads!

Nagato isn't a fool.

Judging from Nara Rinka's words and attitude, he realized that his conditions had been rejected.

In an instant.

Nagato, who was not yet fully grown, was inevitably somewhat panicked.

His courage, which he had just mustered, almost crumbled on the spot under the Fourth Hokage's mocking attitude, and he could only turn to his true mentor for help, as usual.

Yahiko felt the pressure from the hand on his shoulder lessen and received a pleading look from Nagato.

But what can he say now?

The Rinnegan, after all, is Nagato's eye.

If Yahiko were to speak up, it would inevitably give the impression of "sacrificing Nagato for the benefit of others and the organization."

Nagato sent out a distress signal, but received no response from his companions.

He had known Yahiko for many years and immediately noticed his predicament, realizing what was going on.

This transaction can only be completed by Nagato himself!

Nagato quickly started thinking.

The Fourth Hokage believed that world peace was a mirage.

So...

What about the peace of the Rain Country?

Nagato suddenly spoke up.
