From Naruto onwards, I've become a dreamer.

Chapter 464 The Peace That Is About to Be Destroyed

After leaving the dream, Xiao Nan seemed preoccupied.

Orochimaru performed divination in the "dream" several times, but without exception, the results were severely disrupted.

Therefore, under duress, Orochimaru had no choice but to settle for second best and instead of divining specific matters, he broadened the scope of his divination.

Are there any extraordinary individuals in Amegakure besides Konan who are at a mid-to-high level?

After expanding the scope of the divination, the interference was significantly reduced. The results of this divination showed that there were extraordinary individuals of medium to high rank within the Rain Village!

Without a doubt, that extraordinary being is very likely the 'White Zetsu' who has entered the demigod sequence!

The other members of the Twilight Hermits are currently on duty in various locations, and the possibility of the Aurora Society is very low, so the most likely person left is White Zetsu.

No, considering White Zetsu's cautious nature, it's highly likely he'll bring Obito Uchiha along.

The enemies they now face may be two 'demigods' who have reached Sequence 4. With the current strength of the Twilight Hermits, even if all members were gathered together, they would not have any chance of winning.

Moreover, an even more serious problem lies before Xiao Nan.

There seems to be a traitor hiding in the Twilight Hermit Society. Apart from Orochimaru, who has already been proven guilty, she doesn't know who to trust.

What if, what if, the wrong choice is made? The sleeping Lord Adam will face immense danger!

As she pondered, she quickened her pace and headed towards the top floor.

Nagato, dressed in a black outfit with red clouds, sat on a pipe extending outward from the top floor, watching every move of the entire Rain Village.

Hearing the noise behind him, he didn't turn around: "Why are you back?"

"Nagato, you need to move to another location."

Xiao Nan got straight to the point, her voice clearly carrying a hint of urgency and worry.

Why the sudden change of location?

Nagato sensed something was wrong in her tone, slowly rose from the pipe, and turned to look at Konan: "What happened? Why do you look so flustered?"

Since the founding of Akatsuki, except for the day Yahiko died, he had never seen Konan so flustered.

"Never mind that, Nagato. Just leave Amegakure as soon as possible, leaving only the Six Paths." Konan shook her head, but still refused to tell the truth.

Looking at Konan's anxious face, Nagato slowly raised his hand to brush away her messy hair. His eyes were gentle as he said softly, "Konan, do you remember? We grew up together and, following Yahiko's ideals, established the Akatsuki organization. Now, we've finally helped Amegakure break free from its former environment step by step."

No, you don't understand.

Konan's brows furrowed, her expression seemingly contorted with worry: "Nagato, this is very serious. You must leave Amegakure as soon as possible."

"Konan, no matter what happens, don't bear it all alone, okay?" Nagato looked at Konan with concern and said in a deep voice, "I'm no longer the weak and helpless Nagato who needed to be saved. Now I have the ability to share the burden with you!"

Konan felt a headache coming on. She could understand Nagato's concern, but White Zetsu and Obito were definitely not problems he could solve.

"Listen to me, Nagato." She took a deep breath, cupped Nagato's pale face, and whispered, "This time, staying in Amegakure would be even more dangerous for you. I need to make sure you're not controlled. Only then can the Six Paths help me, understand?"

The essence of the Six Paths is six corpses, refined by the Rinnegan, and then controlled through black rods.

As long as Nagato is kept away from Amegakure and hidden in a place where no one can find him, the risk of being controlled by the "White Zetsu" can be avoided to some extent.

Otherwise, if Nagato is controlled by White Zetsu, the situation will become even more chaotic!

She must eliminate this possibility at its root.

"Control. Is it an illusion?"

Nagato frowned. Genjutsu was indeed troublesome, and even the Rinnegan could not guarantee complete immunity.

"Alright, I'll listen to you and hide somewhere no one knows." He was still somewhat reluctant, but he decided to obey Konan's orders and said in a deep voice, "If the situation becomes urgent, I will have the Animal Path use reverse summoning to directly summon me back. I hope you understand that, Konan."

Faced with this situation, Xiao Nan had no choice but to agree.

She knew very well that Nagato would never leave if she didn't agree, and even if she did agree, it wouldn't make a difference.

"Is there anything else I can do?"

Nagato was still very worried about Konan and pressed her for an answer: "Anything is fine."

"No need, I can handle the rest myself."

Looking out at the village still shrouded in dark clouds, Xiao Nan's eyes revealed a trace of sadness: "After this, I'm afraid we'll have to rebuild the village, and all our previous efforts will be in vain."

Hearing Konan's low, sorrowful voice, Nagato's pupils contracted slightly: "You mean Amegakure will be destroyed?"

"I don't know, maybe it is, maybe it isn't."

Konan lowered her head, gripping her sleeve tightly, and biting her lip: "The more serious consequence might be that Amegakure will be completely wiped out from now on."

Looking at the masses of people under the rain, her heart felt as if it were being torn apart.

The village before them was where they grew up and painstakingly built up, but now it might be destroyed in a war.

"So, there's one last thing I need you to do." Konan turned to Nagato and said softly, "Evacuate the civilians as much as possible, by whatever means necessary. That way, even if the village is destroyed, it can probably be rebuilt in the future."

Realizing the gravity of the situation, Nagato asked solemnly, "How much time do I have left?"

"I'm not sure, it could be a day, it could be a few hours."

Konan shook her head, her eyes filled with sorrow: "In short, you must hide as soon as possible and then evacuate the civilians of Amegakure."

"Okay, I understand!"

Nagato dared not delay any longer. He took one last look at Konan before turning and stepping into the rain.

The rain was icy cold, washing over Nagato's face and stirring up memories.

It was as if he had returned to many years ago, watching helplessly as his parents and relatives died tragically in the war.

And once again, the terrible flames of war reached Amegakure.

This time, even more people will die.

He seemed to have changed at the same time, yet he also seemed to have changed. Despite possessing greater power, he was still powerless, just like before!

"No, this time, I swear it won't happen again!"

A suppressed rage flickered in Nagato's Rinnegan: "No matter the cost, I will protect Konan, and protect our village!"

We will never allow anyone to destroy their hard-won peace again!

Pain, dressed in black robes with red clouds, resembled a sharp arrow piercing the sky above Amegakure.

The evacuation of people must be carried out carefully, cautiously, and discreetly!

They must not evacuate rashly, otherwise it would only arouse the enemy's vigilance, and Nagato knew this very well.

We must do everything we can to buy time for Xiao Nan!
