Konoha: Who's the good guy?

Ding!

Amidst the crisp clang of metal clashing, Nagato awkwardly blocked Samehada's attack with his kunai.

Several sharp spikes that had exploded off the broadsword pierced his arm.

Samehada, who had almost starved to death, saw chakra again after a long time and began to absorb it frantically.

Nagato originally wanted to use his injured arm to unleash a ninjutsu in coordination with his comrades and severely injure the enemy in front of him.

He was startled to feel his chakra rapidly draining away as if a dam had burst!

With the insight of the Rinnegan.

They saw that Konan and Yahiko's reinforcements had arrived.

He strained to raise Samehada, trying to create some distance.

But the Kirigakure ANBU member in front of him completely ignored the attacks from Yahiko and Konan behind him.

The large sword Samehada in his hand was changed from a slap to a thrust!

That strange, large sword also opened its drooling maw, looking as if it wanted to swallow him whole!

Puff puff puff puff~

Konan's paper shuriken, infused with explosive tags, pierced the body of Yamanaka Keishijutsu.

Yahiko's kunai, wrapped in wind-attribute chakra, pierced through the gap in his right shoulder blade, splashing water everywhere.

"Yahiko, step back! Nagato, use Lightning Release!"

Seeing that Yahiko's attacks were still aimed at incapacitating the enemy rather than killing them, Konan hurriedly shouted anxiously.

bang~

The repulsive force of the Rinnegan emanated from Samehada, the greatsword.

Sensing the danger but having no time to use any techniques, Nagato barely managed to use the power of his Rinnegan to blast away the drooling giant mouth in front of him.

The scenery in the mountains relies on the super-fast reaction capability provided by the [zero-frame start].

Before the repulsive force arrived, the upper body, under the special state of the water transformation technique, strangely rotated 180 degrees.

Yahiko's expression changed drastically as he was about to leave.

Before he could react.

The Hidden Mist Anbu members before them suddenly accelerated their attack, using the repulsive force of Nagato's Rinnegan.

In the blink of an eye, the other person's fist had already landed on his cheek!

Boom!

"Yahiko!"

With Konan and Nagato exclaiming in surprise, Yahiko, who had been thrown to the side, slammed hard against the steel wall on one side.

He had clearly been knocked unconscious by that powerful punch!

bang~

The repulsive force of the Rinnegan behind them propelled Yamanaka Kei and Samehada flying out rapidly.

Just as Konan was about to ignite the explosive tag in the paper shuriken, she saw the legs of this Mist Ninja member suddenly grow much thicker!

He kicked off the steel floorboards, forcefully twisted his body, and rushed in front of her in the blink of an eye.

"Konan!"

Nagato cried out, trying to activate the Universal Pull before the enemy could make a move, to pull Konan to his side.

However, the body's reaction speed is far slower than the enemy's movements!

Yamanaka Kei swung his greatsword Samehada horizontally, blocking Nagato's Bansho Ten'in's gravitational pull.

Driven mad by hunger, Samehada didn't care whether he had just suffered a defeat at Nagato's hands.

Following the force of the Myriad Manifestations Heavenly Pull, it flew towards the opponent once again.

Bang!

Another muffled sound.

Nagato leaped up, dodging Samehada, the greatsword that was being drawn in by Banshoten.

Looking up, Xiao Nan's body had already collapsed to the ground.

The Hidden Mist ANBU member charged into the Akatsuki members like a tiger among sheep.

Using only physical skills, he effortlessly sent everyone flying against the surrounding walls.

"Kyushu! Great Buddha! I take refuge!"

Nagato's eyes were bloodshot, his hands forming hand seals, just about to push his body to the limit and unleash the strongest power of the Rinnegan he could currently control.

The Hidden Mist Anbu member in front of her had already placed his palm on Konan's head.

He glanced around at his companions, all of whom were seriously injured and unconscious, but seemed to be out of danger.

Nagato suppressed his panic and unease and spoke.

"What exactly do you want to do?!"

"you guess?"

Whoosh! Thump!

A gust of wind came from the back of Nagato's head, and before he could react, everything went black.

He staggered forward one step and then fell straight to the ground.

"This level of skill is far from enough!"

The shadow clone of the mountain scenery grabbed the unconscious Nagato.

On the Samehada sword, there was not only a contract seal he had set up to prevent Kirigakure from summoning him back.

It also bears several Flying Thunder God marks.

Focused on the enemy in front of him and his wounded comrade, he completely ignored the weapon that had just flown behind him.

They're still young, and their combat experience is far too lacking.

The shadow clone caught the small glass bottle thrown by the main body and was about to start gouging out the eyes when the main body's voice suddenly came.

"stop!"

Looking at Nagato's entry on the screen, Yamanaka Kei felt a sense of serene greeting towards Black Zetsu.

He had just used the system to roughly scan the names and identities of everyone present.

However, due to the large number of people, I didn't carefully look at each person's entry.

Now focus your attention on Nagato.

They immediately realized something was wrong.

......

Name: Nagato

Occupation: Ninja

Entry: Ancestral Blood (Purple), Pseudo-Rinnegan (Purple), All-around Skill in Six Escapes (Blue), Kagura's Mind's Eye (Blue), Intelligence (Green), Puppet Mastery (Green), Mutual Dependence (White), Blind Obedience (Gray).

......

Ancestral Blood (Purple): Pure Uzumaki clan bloodline. After being stimulated by the Yin-Yang Six Paths power in the Rinnegan, it gradually underwent a mutation, greatly increasing its affinity for the six elemental attributes of water, earth, fire, wind, and thunder; and greatly increasing its vitality and chakra reserves.

Pseudo-Rinnegan (Purple): Based on the power of the Six Paths Yin-Yang Release Technique and the Transformation Technique, and fused with the power of the Divine Tree, this pseudo-Rinnegan was forcibly created using the three-tomoe Sharingan. It possesses a large amount of Rinnegan energy and can use some of the power of the Six Paths. The eye is destroyed after the power is exhausted.

"Black Zetsu... the power of the Six Paths, the Transformation Technique, you've really taken it to a whole new level..."

Yamanaka Keishin took a breath and, out of caution, had his shadow clones begin examining the bodies of these Akatsuki members.

Could Black Zetsu have guessed that he knew Madara Uchiha had awakened the Rinnegan and transplanted it into Nagato?

Logically speaking, this is unlikely.

But at least he's an old shrew who's lived for nearly a thousand years.

It wouldn't be surprising if Madara Uchiha did something after his sudden death.

He could have deliberately orchestrated Tobi's attack on Konoha ninjas who came to Amegakure to complete a mission, thus drawing Konoha's attention to the nascent Akatsuki organization, and leaving behind this fake Rinnegan...

Was it simply to fool him?

Or is it...?

"Hmm? Main body, transfer seal!"

After letting out a soft "hmm," the shadow clone slightly increased the distance between itself and Nagato.

Shan Zhongjing frowned slightly, signaling to continue.

After a thorough examination...

The result was that Nagato, Yahiko, and Konan all had transfer seals on them!

There were no abnormalities among the other members.

In the original story, Madara Uchiha used the Transcription Seal to seal Izanagi into his right eye, delaying its activation.

Itachi Uchiha also used this technique, leaving Amaterasu in Sasuke's eyes and Kotoamatsukami in Naruto's eyes.

It is unknown what conditions were set to activate the transcription seal.

I wonder what kind of magic is sealed inside.

We must untangle this thing.

Even if Yamanaka Kei wanted to brainwash the three of them and bring them back to Konoha, he would hesitate for a while.

After all, what if the seal contains a technique like Summoning Jutsu: Gedo Mazo or Super Shinra Tensei, and the conditions for activation are met as soon as they arrive in Konoha?

It's estimated that Konoha will be destroyed before the Third Shinobi World War even begins!

As for killing three people...

plplplpl～～

As Yamanaka Kei was pondering, Samehada, the ravenous sword, crawled towards Nagato like a caterpillar.

Its foot-long tongue kept licking the other's head.

The sharp spikes seemed to transform into soft down, clinging tightly to its body.

A large amount of chakra surged out from Nagato's body.

The unconscious boy's body trembled uncontrollably due to the excessive loss of chakra.

Whoosh! Bang!

The sound of the signal flare exploding came from the direction above the mountain.

sigh~

Under spatial fluctuations.

The second shadow clone, who had been left to keep watch outside, appeared beside Samehada with an unfriendly expression.

He threw the ninja, who was clearly under a genjutsu, in front of Yamanaka Kei.

"White Zetsu?"

Yamanaka Kei glanced at the interface of the guy in front of him and threw a sealing scroll to his shadow clone.

Hearing the shrill alarm that echoed throughout the entire Rain Village, he took out his blood storage vessel from his pocket and smeared a little on his fingertip.

A huge cloud of chakra smoke rose up, and a clam several sizes smaller than a mirage appeared in the room.

Upon seeing this, the shadow clone immediately threw the bodies of Yahiko, Nagato, and Konan into the clam's open shell.

"Don't let them die yet."

After giving the command to the spirit beast.

Yamanaka Kei lifted the spell on the spirit and sent it back to the clam clan's home.

Sensing the figures rapidly approaching from outside the building, he grabbed the large sword Samehada from the ground!

Although it's still unclear what Black Zetsu is trying to do.

But we're already here!

If he doesn't bring back some local specialties, then his trip will have been in vain!
