Naruto: Evil is easy to commit, making Amegakure great again.

"Universal Guidance!"

"D4C!"

Seeing that Nagato was still determined to control her, she realized that he was not giving up.

Jiang Ming, who was already prepared for a tug-of-war with Nagato and wanted to wear down his arrogance, immediately covered himself with the tablecloth again.

He activated D4C's abilities and returned to his original world.

"Bang bang bang—!"

Several more ninjutsu scrolls and intelligence reports rained down on Pain.

Xiao Nan was also affected to some extent.

"Nagato, calm down. He says he's here to negotiate with us."

Compared to Nagato, who is prone to impulsiveness and might easily take extreme actions, this is a different story.

Xiao Nan is undoubtedly more calm and rational.

He was also the only one whose words made Nagato think seriously.

They're not the kind of people you'd simply ignore, like they're invisible.

"I understand, Xiao Nan."

"Whoosh—!"

The very next second that Nagato agreed to Konan's request to remain rational and to have normal negotiations with Jiang Ming.

Jiang Ming, who had once again traveled from his original world, expressed his desire to negotiate with them.

This time, Nagato, who humbly accepted Konan's advice to remain calm and was willing to negotiate with Jiang Ming, directly manipulated Pain to lower his arm.

He wanted to show Jiang Ming his sincerity.

"Can."

Soon, Jiang Ming, Konan, and Nagato, who was controlling Pain in his place, took their seats in turn.

The negotiations took place in this dimly lit, secret room.

"Before we begin formal negotiations, please demonstrate your sincerity, Jiang Ming."

The moment he took his seat, Nagato used Pain's words to make his demands.

Hopefully, Jiang Ming can show his sincerity.

Don't do anything that could easily lead to misunderstandings, just like last time.

"Sincerity?"

Jiang Ming nodded slightly and revealed the existence of the [Annihilation Law] without the slightest hesitation.

This surprised the two of them.

"No wonder I felt a strange gravitational pull last time..."

At first, Konan thought that the gravitational pull was caused by Nagato manipulating Pain to use the "Universal Pull" on her.

But now it seems that this wasn't Nagato using [Universal Pull] on himself at all; it was clearly the [Annihilation Law] at work!

She nearly annihilated both her in this world and her younger self in another world.

Looking back now, it really sent chills down Xiao Nan's spine.

He muttered to himself that he had once walked through the gates of hell.

"Last time was an accident; I didn't expect you to come from this world."

Speaking of which, this matter is also related to Nagato.

If Nagato in this world hadn't been so suspicious, summoning Konan from this world wouldn't have triggered the [Annihilation Law].

All I can say is that everything happened by sheer coincidence.

"I understand."

Seeing Jiang Ming's cooperation, Nagato, who was negotiating through Pain, also lost his initial aggressive attitude.

Instead, they asked Jiang Ming about his true background in a more serious tone.

"I come from another world."

This was hinted at as early as when he first met Pain.

However, Nagato didn't believe him at the time.

I didn't think about it too deeply.

Jiang Ming was too lazy to verify the truth of this matter in front of Pain.

"Another world?"

Both Konan and Nagato were taken aback.

"That's right."

Jiang Ming nodded slightly, giving them enough time to process the situation.

"hiss......"

Konan and Pain exchanged a glance, instinctively unwilling to believe it was true.

Shatter your past beliefs.

"This is truly amazing..."

In fact, on the very day Jiang Ming introduced himself and then disappeared without a trace with the still young Konan, Tsuchino Juzo, and Ibuki Aoi, etc.

Nagato and Konan then reviewed past information about Amegakure and the residents' files.

They successfully found someone who looked exactly like Jiang Ming and had the same name.

However, that person died on the very day the Second Shinobi World War broke out.

Even the body was not found.

This also indirectly confirms the truthfulness of Jiang Ming's words.

Make them feel that the other person is not joking with them.

"According to our investigation, Jiang Ming in this world died at the very beginning of the Second Shinobi World War. His profession was a genin from Amegakure..."

In other words, Jiang Ming, who is negotiating with them right now, is either Jiang Ming who has traveled from another world, or he is the person who successfully escaped the Second Shinobi World War by faking his death and survived!

There is almost no third possibility other than these two assumptions.

"No way, I died so young in this world?"

He died on the very day the Second Shinobi World War broke out...

In a sense, this confirms Jiang Ming's previous guess.

In the current world, a ninja without a bloodline limit or bloodline net would either become cannon fodder or perform the most menial jobs in the village.

There is almost no other way to go.

"We have no reason to lie to you about this."

As soon as he finished speaking, Nagato manipulated Pain, the Deva Path, to look at Konan.

It seemed to be a hint for Xiao Nan to find out information about Jiang Ming in the current world.

He handed the intelligence report to Jiang Ming to dispel his doubts.

"Are you serious, Nagato?"

Looking around at the chaotic secret room, with ninjutsu scrolls and information scattered all over the floor.

Xiao Nan showed a troubled expression, something she hadn't done in a long time.

It's almost as if they're saying that Nagato himself is the real culprit behind the current chaos in the secret ninjutsu scrolls and information piling up.

Nagato Uzumaki: "..."

It turns out that the information about "Jiang Ming" is now hard to find...

That's alright then...

"Cough cough cough!"

Nagato, controlling Pain, coughed a few times to cover up his embarrassment.

"Since you say you come from another world, what brings you to our world?"

One doesn't visit the temple without a reason.

Nagato believed that Jiang Ming's visit to the current world must be for his help.

Otherwise, the other party wouldn't be so easy to talk to.

He told himself all the information about the [Annihilation Law].

"I need your help."

Jiang Ming sincerely explained his purpose for coming.

This completely surprised Nagato, who had originally thought he would need to spend more time figuring out Jiang Ming's true intentions.

I haven't met such an honest person in a long time.

He's practically on par with Yahiko.

"Our world is in the early stages of the Second Shinobi World War, and we desperately need the help of Kage-level powerhouses like you."

It was right at the beginning of the Second Shinobi World War?

Both Konan and Nagato, who was remotely controlling Pain, were taken aback upon hearing this.

I never imagined that the flow of time in the two worlds would differ so greatly...

Why should we help you?

Although both Nagato and Konan are very curious about the other world.

However, out of rationality and modesty, they still felt they should pretend to be uninterested.

This was done to gain greater benefits for themselves and the Akatsuki organization.

"You wouldn't want the person in my world to lose their parents at such a young age and become a war orphan, would you, Nagato?"

Jiang Ming's smiling remark effectively ended the game.
