XX-level Hokage

You should know about the Uzumaki clan, right? They are a clan with incredibly strong life force and chakra. Nagato was a member of the Uzumaki clan, because of the Wheel...

"The Rinnegan consumes a large amount of chakra and life force when used by anyone other than the user. Therefore, someone transplanted the Rinnegan into Nagato and then used it to carry out their own plans." Makoto said calmly.

"How could this be?" Although Xiao Nan didn't want to believe it, a figure suddenly appeared in her mind.

"Did you guess that? Who would help someone for no reason, and also happen to know everything that the other person is wondering about? Didn't you ever have any doubts?" Mashiro's words were like a torrential rain, washing away all the doubts at once.

Yes, why does the Sage's Eye have such severe side effects? Why is Madara Uchiha still alive? Why does he know about the Ten-Tails? ... Everything began to become clear.

"What do you need to do? You claim to be the Sage of Six Paths' sister, you should have a way, right?" Konan said to Mashiro, her tone already pleading. "Of course I have a way, but I need Nagato's cooperation. I need you to take me to him." Mashiro brushed a stray strand of Konan's hair behind her ear and said. Konan hesitated for a moment, then finally agreed to Mashiro's request, but she still asked one last question: "Why do you want to help us?"

Why? It's simple. Someone wants to threaten my interests. See these black shadow monsters? They are all sinners who have died. This strange place is my territory. I, who possess memories and the power of sin, am satisfied with everything. But there's one guy who's different. He wants to redefine everything.

You probably already know the story of my eldest and second eldest brothers, and you can probably guess the gist of my story, but my third brother has always been a dark and gloomy guy.

When the Mother of Chakra distributed the power, my eldest brother Hagoromo inherited the chakra and the Rinnegan, and was responsible for protecting the entire ninja world; my second brother Hamura inherited the chakra and the Byakugan, and was responsible for protecting the moon; I inherited the power of memories and sins, and was responsible for guarding the souls of the dead; and my third brother inherited the shadow, and was responsible for guiding the ninja world toward peace in history.

But he wasn't satisfied. He didn't want to be a shadow forever, so after his two older brothers died one after another, he kept giving wrong instructions to the ninja world, causing constant wars. His ultimate goal was to revive the Ten-Tails through the Rinnegan, then revive the Mother of Chakra, and finally redistribute power. "I don't want that, so I came to the ninja world too," Mashiro said, half-truthfully.

By this time, Minami had completely believed Mashiro's words.

"Let's go, take me to see Nagato." Mashiro waved her hand, and a gate appeared that led out of the Shadow Kingdom. The two stepped inside one after the other.

Deep within the Tower of God, the guards were extremely strict, but Konan led Mashiro forward without any hindrance, and none of the guards dared to obstruct them.

They reached the deepest part of the Tower of God, pushed open the basement door, and entered. Nagato was deep inside. "Konan, why did you bring her here?" Nagato, sitting on the path of guilt, said weakly.

After Konan and Mashiro appeared, Nagato observed them using the Rain Tiger Free Technique. If it weren't for Konan, he might have sent Pain over long ago.

Seeing the weakened Nagato, Konan felt incredibly heartbroken, especially after learning the "truth" from Mashiro, Konan felt even more sympathy and sorrow for Nagato.

“Nagato, she has a way to save you,” Konan said.

“Save me? God doesn’t need anyone’s salvation,” Nagato said coldly.

“But Nagato…” Konan began, but Mashiro stopped her, saying, “Konan, please go out first. Let me talk to Nagato.”

Xiao Nan glanced at the two of them, hesitated for a moment, and finally left the basement.

"What exactly did you say to Konan?" Nagato asked. Mashiro repeated what she had said to Konan to Nagato.

"Ridiculous, do you think I would believe that?" Despite his inner turmoil, Nagato suppressed all his emotions and said.

"Whether you believe it or not doesn't really matter, but your mind must be a complete mess right now," Mashiro suddenly laughed and said. "You mean Ren?" Nagato asked疑惑地问道.

At that moment, a crow appeared out of nowhere, its eyes transforming into kaleidoscopes, and a sinister four-cornered windmill pattern began to spin: "Kotoamatsukami."

Nagato paused for a moment, then everything returned to normal. [Name: Uzumaki Nagato]

Gender: Male Age: 34 Affection Level: 100 Relationship: Master-Servant

Affection Reward (50): Life Form Enhancement (Obtained) Affection Reward (90): Rinnegan (Obtained)

Mashiro gently touched her eyes, and her pure white eyes turned pale purple, revealing mysterious patterns in concentric circles. She intently felt the power of the Rinnegan.

Then, Mashiro closed his eyes again, and his Rinnegan turned into the Byakugan once more.

Chapter Sixty-Six: Secrets in My Heart

Konan, who was waiting outside, saw Mashiro come out and asked in a deep voice, "How is Nagato?"

“I’ve already spoken to him, and he knows the truth now. It seems he had some suspicions before, and now we’ve reached an agreement,” Mashiro said with a smile.

After listening to Mashiro's words, Konan went into the basement.

Mashiro watched Konan walk in, smiling quietly.

A short while later, Konan emerged from the basement, her eyes filled with gratitude and respect. "Isn't it just as I said?" Mashiro said with a light laugh.

"Thank you so much for telling us the truth. I wonder when you will be able to recover Nagato's body," Konan said respectfully. With Nagato's endorsement, she now completely regarded Mashiro as a sage.

"The reason I'm telling you all this is because the Rinnegan plays a crucial role in the plan. As long as I can use the Rinnegan, there's no difference between a healthy Nagato and a weakened Nagato to me. Besides, Nagato has already prepared to sacrifice his life for peace, so why should I expend so much energy to restore his vitality?" Mashiro suddenly said coldly.

“But we’re allies.” Konan didn’t understand why Mashiro had suddenly changed her attitude.

"Indeed, we have reached an agreement, but the goal of this cooperation is only to eliminate my third brother and achieve peace. As for helping Nagato, that's a separate matter."

"Price." Mashiro said coldly.

Konan bit her lip. She knew that Mashiro was right. Given Nagato's personality, he would not hesitate to sacrifice himself as long as peace could be achieved. But she was left with only Nagato.

"I wonder what it would take for you to be willing to treat Nagato?" Konan said, her eyes full of pleading.

"If you want to know, find me in my hotel room tonight." Mashiro looked Konan up and down, smiling as she spoke. Konan sensed something strange about Mashiro's gaze, but didn't pay it any mind, and nodded gently.

Then Mashiro disappeared from the spot. Night.

In Mashiro's hotel room.

Looking at the still gloomy sky, Mashiro muttered to herself, "There's no moon. It seems that rain and moonlight are ultimately mutually exclusive."

Then Mashiro gently opened the bedside table, and white papers seeped in through the crack, coalescing into the image of Konan. "Looks like you're right on time," Mashiro said with a soft laugh.

"Can you tell me? What would it take for you to heal Nagato?" Konan asked respectfully. "Shouldn't one kneel down to ask for help?" Mashiro said softly.

Without hesitation, Konan knelt down, treating Mashiro as a sage—a request that wasn't unreasonable. Mashiro stepped forward and gently stroked Konan's hair.

Xiao Nan felt something was off; the last time her hair was stroked like that was when she was very young.

"Can you tell me what's on your mind? Although I know about your past, I can't read your mind. Your past tells me that you seem..."

"It's not about whether world peace can be achieved, so why have you chosen this path?" Mashiro whispered in Minami's ear.

Konan was silent for a moment before speaking: "You guessed right. Actually, I don't care whether world peace can be achieved. I was born during a time of war and began to wander after losing my parents. The life of wandering was bleak for me until I met Yahiko, then Nagato, and then Jiraiya-sensei. My world gradually became colorful."

I am a selfish person and do not have lofty ambitions. Compared with world peace, I actually care more about the family and friends around me.

But both Yahiko and Nagato aimed for world peace. Yahiko even paid for it with his life. I gradually realized that in a chaotic world, neither family nor friendship can last. Only with world peace can we live in peace.

So you used to just follow in their footsteps, but now you've learned to move forward independently, right? "Mashiro asked, stroking Minami's face.

"Perhaps." Xiao Nan chuckled softly.

"Besides family and friendship, have you ever tried to pursue other kinds of feelings, such as romantic love?" Mashiro asked softly.

"Perhaps when I was in love, I did think that I had feelings for both Yahiko and Nagato. But after Yahiko died, a heavy responsibility fell on my shoulders. By the time I came to my senses, those feelings were gone." Konan said softly, as if she was taking this opportunity to confide some of her innermost thoughts.

“Whether it’s Yahiko, Nagato, or you, if you were born in a peaceful era, you would all be living very well,” Mashiro said with a sigh. “I’ve also fantasized about that,” Konan said.

"If you could save Nagato, would you be willing to give up everything?" Mashiro asked softly, hugging Konan from behind.

“I’m willing. I can give you everything I have. I don’t want to lose anything else. I caused Yahiko’s death back then, and now I want to save Nagato,” Konan said with unwavering determination.

Mashiro fell silent, her hand moving downwards to cover Konan's... Konan was about to resist when she heard Mashiro whisper, "Don't move." So Konan stopped and let Mashiro knead her.

"An equivalent exchange, as the price for saving Nagato," Mashiro whispered in Konan's ear. "Is that all?" Konan had no objections; she didn't care about such things.

Mashiro didn't speak, but gently kissed Minami's neck. The atmosphere became somewhat ambiguous.

On the bed, Mashiro pinned Konan beneath him. His own tail, which had appeared out of nowhere, began to writhe all over Konan's body. She grabbed the tail that was moving erratically against her.

"What is this?" Xiao Nan asked breathlessly.

Konan noticed the strange thing was getting hotter and hotter in her hand. Mashiro simply uttered a single word, then bit down... Konan, her face flushed, looked at the strange tail in her hand and stretched out...

Immediately afterwards, an alluring fragrance wafted out. Xiao Nan began to feel warm all over.

"Are you ready?" Mashiro asked in a deep voice.

Xiao Nan was completely unable to speak at this point. Attack.

Xiao Nan winced slightly, but still managed to suppress her cries. A night of lily dance.

The next day, Konan woke up in bed with aches all over her body, only to find that Mashiro was nowhere to be seen.

With difficulty, I got up and saw a bowl of porridge and a piece of paper on the bedside table. There were some words written on the paper.

"Return in ten days. He will take care of the treatment himself. Don't worry."

Xiao Nan lay back down on the bed. Yesterday was a strange feeling, but it wasn't bad.

Konan was in a good mood after receiving the promise to save Nagato, though it could also be due to the lingering pleasure caused by that wretched tail.

His keen eyesight, exceptional eloquence, and innate talent for deception led all the women close to him to call him a liar.

Chapter Sixty-Seven:

The Land of Demons, a mysterious country with priestesses passed down through generations, has seen its priestesses disappear one by one with the appearance of the demon, Kiyo. Only those capable of sealing the demon...

The lineage of the High Priestess still exists, and each generation of High Priestess possesses the powerful ability to seal away the curse.

The great priestess of the Demon Kingdom in this generation is named Shiwan.

"Has Miyo's reinforcements not arrived yet?" asked Ashiho, who was in charge of guarding Shiwan. "Don't worry, everything is in the hands of fate," Shiwan said expressionlessly.

Not long ago, a major event occurred in the Land of Demons. The Ghost Legion's Yomi used mysterious dark healing techniques to resurrect the demon Qixi, which possessed terrifying power capable of destroying the world, and hoped to use it to establish a dark, thousand-year kingdom.

After possessing Yomi, Tiaoti ordered the Ghost Legion to attack the Land of Demons, attempting to kill the priestess Shion, who possessed the ability to seal demons and foretell death, and to reclaim Tiaoti's body sealed in the Land of Swamps.

Once Qiao's soul and body become one, the ninja world will suffer a huge blow. News of the attack on the Land of Demons quickly spread to other countries, and Konoha immediately decided to send aid. Mashiro was the recipient of Konoha's aid this time.

"My lady, how can you say that? Your safety cannot be entrusted to fate. You are the only hope to defeat Tsutsumi," Ashiho said anxiously.

At this moment, the ghost legion attacked, vast and mighty, and quickly surrounded the two.

"Your Highness, please go first. I'll hold them off." Azusa said, her body trembling as she suppressed her panic. "Today is not my day of death," Shiwan murmured to herself.

"My lady, what are you saying?" Just as Ashiho was wondering, "Melting Release: Torrent."

A clear female voice came.

Immediately following, a mudslide carrying rocks and lightning swept in, clearing a path through the ghost army's encirclement. "So, I've arrived just in time?" Mashiro said, walking up to the two.

Without the Shadow Legion infiltrating the shadows beforehand, Mashiro couldn't teleport to the Land of Demons, so it did take her quite a while to find this place.

"You must be the priestess of the Land of Demons, Miss Shion. I am Hyuga Mashiro, a reinforcement sent by Konoha. You can call me Mashiro," Mashiro said to Shion with a smile.

"Are you the reinforcements sent by Konoha? Hyuga Mashiro, you are the disciple of the Third Hokage, the legendary Black and White Phantom Lord Hyuga Mashiro!" Ashiho said excitedly.

“You will die. No, you are already dead. No, your fate is strange.” Ziwan looked at Zhenbai and suddenly said.
