Big.

too big.

The people of Konoha, regardless of age, all had the same thought when they saw the enormous golden figure in the sky—they had never seen anything this big in all their years of life.

Am I...dreaming?

"Or...maybe."

"Does anyone have a Nine-Tails? I want to compare it with mine; I'm feeling a bit dizzy."

"Wow...it's so big~"

"It's Lord Nebula!"

"It's Lord Nebula's doing!"

It was easily recognizable because of its enormous celestial form and the features on its face, formed from concentrated light, that were remarkably similar to those of the Divine Moon Nebula. Even without expression, it remained strikingly handsome.

Amidst everyone's stunned silence, Nagato was the first to react.

There was no other way; apart from Xiao Nan lying on the ground, he was the only one present who was considered an 'enemy'.

Suppressing her heart-pounding fear, Nagato clung to her last shred of hope.

Give it a try!

Try again!

Perhaps the giant in the sky is just a facade! But his demonic statue is real!

Thinking this, Nagato roared again. But for some reason, his roar sounded weaker than before.

The demonic statue of the heretic moved.

It bared its teeth and brandished its claws, roaring angrily to the sky.

Then, the enormous figure in the sky also moved.

On its back, layers upon layers of arms gleamed with golden light, bursting forth from the sky.

It enveloped the entire demonic statue of the heretic in a way that blotted out the sky.

The demonic statue waved its arms, seemingly trying to resist, but it had too many arms.

Arms, gleaming with golden light and bearing dark markings, came from all directions.

Some were aimed at the lower back, some at the stomach, some at the sides of the face, some at the back of the head... attacks came from all directions.

There is no way to retreat.

"BOOM ...

A burst of golden light engulfed the figure of the demonic statue, obscuring it in dust. Only tremors and roars remained in the heavens and earth.

"Pfft~" Nagato vomited blood again.

"..." Xiao Nan, who was on the ground, felt the tremor and closed her eyes in despair.

For a long, long time.

The tremors finally subsided. High in the sky, the celestial manifestation vanished, leaving only enormous, deep craters in the center of the earth.

The Gedo Mazo has disappeared. It's unclear whether Nagato actively canceled the summoning or if it was automatically canceled due to excessive damage. Shingetsu Seiun leans towards the latter.

His figure descended from the sky, and Shenyue Xingyun arrived in front of Nagato.

The latter's aura was even more subdued than before.

Sensing the return of the Divine Moon Nebula, Nagato looked up, his eyes filled with shock and horror.

He asked in a hoarse voice, "What kind of method is that?"

Shenyue Xingyun: "The Heavenly Dharma Image is tilted."

Nagato thought for a moment and uttered three words: "Good tactic."

As soon as she finished speaking, Tsunade walked in carrying Konan.

Xiao Nan struggled, her eyes flashing frantically as if she had something to say.

Tsunade: "She's been moving around, as if she has something to tell you."

Shenyue Xingyun waved her hand, removing the seal from Xiaonan's mouth.

"Huff~" Konan gasped for breath, then said urgently, "Don't kill Nagato!"

"Please, don't kill him!"

"I'm willing to make a trade! As long as you don't kill Nagato, I'll do whatever you want with me!"

After the demonic statue of the heretic was completely suppressed by the Heavenly Inclined Dharma Image, Konan made a decision.

She absolutely cannot let Nagato die here!

Considering the information she had about the Divine Moon Nebula and based on the experience she gained from Samui and Temari, she was about 50% confident in her decision.

If Shukaku could be used as a scapegoat for his mischief, then the Gedo Mazo coming to cause trouble shouldn't be such a big deal... right?

Chapter 572 Xiao Nan's Choice

Leaf.

Amidst the ruins, some people stood there, stunned, still unable to recover from what they had just seen and heard.

Some people slumped down, suddenly feeling that their ninja training had been meaningless all along.

There was one person, however, who was busy.

They lifted logs and stones, treated the wounded, and searched for civilians.

It's Danzo.

Unlike the others who were either daydreaming or lost in thought, he was working.

They work very diligently!

Regardless of what others were doing, he was only busy with his work, and a smile would appear on his old face every time he rescued someone trapped under the building.

"It's good that you're alive."

"It's good that you're alive. Quick, take a rest and eat some food."

Once this one is settled, move on to the next one.

They were even more proactive than the rescue ninjas and medical teams.

Some of the rescued people were very grateful to Danzo for his tireless efforts.

"Old man."

"Take a break, look at you, your clothes are soaked with sweat."

"No need, no need," Danzo hurriedly waved his hand and said, "If we rest a little less, we might be able to save one more person."

rest?

No rest!

Only those who are useless to the village get to rest!

Coveting the Hokage position?

Waiting for the right opportunity to act?

Danzo said that it had nothing to do with him.

All he wants to do right now is save people.

He doesn't know now, or even in the future, but he only wants to dedicate his limited life to the endless wave of village construction, contributing his meager strength to Konoha.

It's decided. Starting today, I will go to bed early, wake up early, love my work, and be kind to others.

From today onward, I will smile at every genin who accepts a mission.

Sing praises to every flower and every ray of sunshine.

From this day forward, he is no longer the Danzo of the past. He is Shimura Danzo, a man who loves peace, is willing to dedicate himself, gives silently, and burns himself to light up the village.

"Someone come here! There's someone still alive!" A cry for help came from ahead, and Danzo jumped up.

"Here it comes~"

There were many Konoha ninjas, and with their help, the buried and injured people were gradually found.

Just as the ninjas were tallying the casualty figures, someone suddenly cried out in alarm.

"I*!!"

"This is a ghost!!~"

Exclamations came from one person at a time, but from many people at the same time. Others looked in the direction of the sound and saw that one by one, the people who were supposed to be dead suddenly opened their eyes.

Even his injuries had mostly healed.

Exclamations of surprise rang out one after another, but Danzo's pupils trembled as he gazed into the distance.

As an elder of Konoha and one of the village's top-ranked fighters, he quickly realized that something was amiss.

Someone is resurrecting the dead.

Looking towards the direction where the energy fluctuations were most obvious, Danzo's eyes were filled with admiration.

"Is it the Divine Moon Nebula, or an enemy?"

"What an amazing method!"

With sighs and reflections.

Danzo sighed softly, then suppressed the complex emotions in his heart and turned around.

Continue to shine and give off heat~
