Naruto: My Chat Group Spans History.

Meanwhile, in the heart of the Akatsuki organization...

As the door was slowly pushed open, Konan and the White Zetsu carrying the pitcher plant entered together, and the outside light slipped in, bringing long-lost brightness to the dim room.

In the center of the room, on a massive machine, sat the gaunt Nagato quietly.

Xiao Nan looked up at him, thought for a moment, and then said:

"Hmm... Sasori and Deidara escaped."

Should we consider recruiting new staff?

"Now, it's all the Akatsuki can use."

Xiao Nan lightly tapped her finger, pointing to the pitcher plant, White Zetsu, beside her.

Seeing this, White Zetsu waved to Nagato and grinned, "Hi~"

Nagato glared at White Zetsu, "Hey my ass! I'm furious right now!"

Bai Jue chuckled and quickly shrank back.

The Akatsuki organization, which once swept across the ninja world, is now in ruins, with its members either dead or having fled, leaving only one unreliable guy by its side. Nagato felt a mix of emotions.

He sighed and rubbed his forehead, his tone tinged with helplessness:

"We can discuss recruitment later. The key issue right now is how to deal with Uchiha Sasuke."

"I don't think Itachi Uchiha can be his match. If Sasuke defeats Itachi and then turns his attention to us, that would be a real headache."

Nagato frowned deeply; this was undoubtedly an undeserved disaster for the Akatsuki.

If I had known this would happen, I shouldn't have interfered in the Uchiha clan's internal affairs, which resulted in the unnecessary loss of four members.

"If there is no other choice, I may have to trouble you to take action." Konan looked at Nagato, her eyes full of heartache.

Nagato's physical condition is deteriorating day by day, but his strength should not be underestimated.

In her view, nothing seemed to be able to stop Nagato's progress; this was the power of the Rinnegan, a power that even Jiraiya highly praised.

"Cough cough..."

Nagato felt somewhat awkward facing Konan's trusting gaze.

He hesitated for a moment before finally saying, "Perhaps. If he really comes, I'll handle it."

Even so, Nagato was still unsure.

After all, Sasuke's strength was ridiculously high after fusing with the Nine-Tails.

He destroyed Pain with just two blows, and Pain represented almost 80% of his power.

If he were to confront Sasuke head-on...

I'm afraid one more punch will be the end of it, or... maybe not.

"Mm." Xiao Nan nodded gently.

"Then I'll go and start preparing for recruiting people."

"Once you've dealt with Uchiha Sasuke, we can start rebuilding the team."

Just as Konan was about to turn and leave, she inadvertently noticed a figure slowly entering the room. Upon closer inspection, she realized it was Pain, the Deva Path.

The Akatsuki members' robes were tattered, but their bodies seemed unharmed.

A hint of confusion flashed across Konan's face. She remembered that Nagato had said that this Pain had been defeated, so how did it end up here again?

Just as he was about to turn and ask Nagato, he saw that Nagato's eyes were full of horror.

"Xiao Nan, get behind me quickly!"

Nagato said in a deep voice, his gaze fixed on Pain.

Konan still thought Nagato was controlling the Pain body and didn't notice anything unusual.

Little did he know, Nagato was completely unaware of the other's chakra receiver at that moment!

The person in front of me is not Pain at all, but just a stand-in with the same appearance.

"What happened?"

Although Konan was confused, she still followed his instructions and stepped aside to stand next to Nagato, staring intently at him with a puzzled look in her eyes.

“He is not Payne, I cannot control him at all.”

"The real Pain was destroyed in his battle with Sasuke."

Nagato spoke with a solemn expression, his tone heavy with an indescribable weight.

"What?" Xiao Nan trembled slightly, and after a moment of surprise, her eyes turned icy cold.

Layers of paper slowly emerged around her, as if she were ready to fight at any moment.

Who exactly are you?

Nagato's voice carried an undeniable questioning tone.

Faced with the wariness of his former comrades, Yahiko remained unfazed. A faint smile played on his lips as he slowly opened them:

"Nagato, Konan, it's me, Yahiko."

Those familiar words sent a jolt through Nagato and Konan, filling them with disbelief.

Nagato gazed at Pain's familiar face and, with a hint of disbelief, uttered a name:

The name escaped from the long gate, and Xiao Nan was momentarily dazed.

How long has it been since they last mentioned this name? Is this really him?

Yahiko raised an eyebrow, his tone relaxed with a hint of mockery:

"Don't you believe me?"

Nagato and Konan remained silent; this scene was truly beyond their imagination.

Yahiko has been dead for many years. How could that leader, who was once as warm as the sun, be reborn on his own corpse?

Even Nagato, who controlled the Rinnegan, found it difficult to accept this reality.

"I cannot ascertain your identity based solely on your word," Nagato said, trying to suppress the turmoil within him.

Yahiko seemed to have anticipated their reaction, and said confidently:

"It seems that I can't convince you without revealing some exclusive memories."

Yahiko smiled confidently, a hint of nostalgia in his eyes:

"Remember? That time you almost collapsed from hunger on the roadside, and Xiao Nan took you home. You were so hungry you almost fainted, but you still insisted on feeding that little dog."

"Its name seems to be Little Dot, right?"

"Later you joined us. To make a living, we stole fruit from the market together. You were too slow and got caught, but I went back and rescued you."

"Also, when you were learning from Jiraiya-sensei, you tried to catch a fish but ended up being pulled into the water by one."

Yahiko's words, like a gentle stream, gradually awakened the memories deep within Nagato and Konan's hearts.

Those past events corresponded perfectly with what Yahiko had described, down to the last detail.

As Nagato gazed at Yahiko, who was speaking eloquently, the image before him gradually overlapped with the figure of his elder brother in his heart.

"Yahiko..."

Xiao Nan covered her mouth, her eyes filled with tears of shock and excitement.

“Yahiko…it really is you.” Nagato looked at him, her hands trembling involuntarily with excitement.

If his legs hadn't already been crippled, he would have rushed forward and embraced this miraculous recovery.

Chapter 121 Handsome guy, can I borrow your Rinnegan?

At this moment, Xiao Nan has already taken the lead, turning words into actions.

Xiao Nan suddenly pounced on him and hugged him tightly.

"Xiao Nan..."

Yahiko gently patted her back to comfort her.

"It might be a bit of a mood killer, but I still have to ask, Yahiko, how are you doing these days?"

Nagato's voice rang out, his gaze shifting between Yahiko's Rinnegan and the black rods on his body.

Is the person before me Pain with his memories attached, or is it Yahiko's true form resurrected?

"I guess you could say I've been resurrected."

"I don't know anything about the Rinnegan myself; it was already embedded in my eye socket when I woke up."

"Now I can use the power of the Heavenly Dao at will."

"As for these..."

"They have lost their effectiveness."

Yahiko casually pulled out a black rod from his face. These rods, which had once been control tools, were now removed and his body immediately repaired itself without pain or sensation.

Seeing this, Konan also curiously took down a black stick, and Yahiko was unharmed.

These were once the signal devices that Nagato used to control Pain, but now they are just for show. Does this mean that Yahiko has been completely resurrected?

"That's wonderful..."

"With Yahiko here, our dream is about to become a reality."

Xiao Nan said with great joy.

With Yahiko's return and his extraordinary power, the Akatsuki organization seems to have a real chance to end the war and realize their dream.

"Alright, now is not the time to talk about this."

Yahiko's expression suddenly turned serious.

He turned to Nagato and asked, "Nagato, how many combat-capable members are left in the Akatsuki?"

“Uchiha Sasuke’s intentions are not good, and he also has a mysterious accomplice who is definitely not an easy opponent.”
