Crossover: The Strongest Uchiha, the Ninja World is in Turmoil!

Page 102

When Jugo first met Kimimaro, it felt like they were old acquaintances, and he immediately felt a sense of goodwill towards him.

"My name is Jugo..."

...

The land of rain, the rain keeps falling incessantly.

Payne stood with his hands behind his back, gazing out the window.

After arranging the offerings, Konan turned to look at Payne.

"Nagato, I'm about to begin."

"Ah."

Payne's deep voice concealed an unusual emotion.

Xiao Nan composed herself, solemnly formed hand seals, and dared not be negligent in the slightest.

She had been learning this ninjutsu for a long time, and now she was finally able to use it.

However, the summoned impure body is not very powerful and can only engage in simple conversations.

He slammed his palm on the ground.

"The art of reincarnation from dirty soil!"

A chilling wind rose in the sealed room, and the cries of countless ghosts echoed through it.

"Waaaaah...waaaah..."

A circle of light shone around the living sacrifice, and talismans on the ground attached themselves to it.

"Ah...ah...ah..."

The unconscious sacrificial offering awoke, and the excruciating pain caused him to let out a heart-wrenching scream.

The scream was as shrill as a demon's.

Konan involuntarily stepped back and bumped into Payne behind her.

Pain had already turned around and saw the talisman dissipate, revealing the form of Idaten Kusuke.

After many years, Kyusuke was still wearing the same clothes as before, and apart from the cracks in the Edo Tensei, everything was just as it had been.

Kyusuke's eyes gradually regained their light: "I...wasn't I dead?"

He then saw Payne in front of him, and although he didn't understand what was going on, he excitedly rushed over: "Thank goodness, big brother! You're alright!"

Payne remained expressionless, allowing Kyusuke to embrace him.

A moment later, Kyusuke realized something was wrong; Yahiko's body was stiff and there was no heartbeat.

"What happened, brother! What's wrong with you!?"

Kyusuke hurriedly asked, but when he looked up, he saw Pain's Rinnegan.

Kyusuke plopped down on the ground: "This, isn't this Nagato's Rinnegan? What... what's going on?"

Someone approached him, and Kyusuke looked up.

It was Konan. Konan's expression was sorrowful: "Kyusuke..."

When Kyosuke saw Konan, his eyes seemed to light up. He stood up and took Konan's hand:

"Konan, what happened to Big Brother? Didn't I die? Where's Daibutsu? Where's Nagato? Where are the other comrades?"

When Konan heard Kyusuke's question, images of her childhood friends flashed through her mind.

Konan closed her eyes in anguish: "Kyusuke, you, Daibutsu, and the other companions...are all gone."

"Yahiko...is gone too."

"The one in front of you..."

"I'm Nagato."

Payne seemed to have finally composed himself and began to speak.

Kyusuke took two steps back and bumped into the window, only then noticing the cracks all over his body.

He raised his hand and looked: "Really? It seems a lot has happened since I died..."

...

Kyusuke sat down cross-legged: "The day you went to negotiate with Hanzo, I received a message from my comrades on the Konoha border, saying that the Konoha Anbu were heading towards Hanzo's direction."

"I think the timing is too coincidental, and Hanzo's words are too pleasing to the ear."

If you suspect something is amiss, call your companions for support.

"Unexpectedly, I was stopped by two people halfway. One of them had a distinct black and white face, and his body looked like two aloe vera leaves pieced together."

"The other one covered his face and called himself Uchiha Madara."

"That Uchiha Madara wouldn't let us go to support you, saying he wanted to make you face reality, and then that black-and-white face summoned a bunch of white monsters on the ground."

"The man who calls himself Uchiha Madara has very strange abilities. My attack passed through his body, and then he stabbed me with his sword."

"I intended to use a secret technique to perish together with him, but he managed to escape."

Kyusuke recounted his near-death experience with ease, and upon learning that he had only been temporarily resurrected, he quickly accepted it.

After all, coming back to life is unrealistic.

However, neither Konan nor Nagato wanted to tell him the truth about Yahiko, or why Nagato used Yahiko's body.

Konan couldn't help but ask, "Did that guy who called himself Uchiha Madara say anything else?"

After a moment of contemplation, Kyusuke said, "I heard his words before I died."

"In order for Nagato to awaken the true Rinnegan, this world is burdened with a curse, so there is no true peace to speak of."

"Nagato should abandon his current dreams and step into the door of a new world."

After speaking, Kyusuke suddenly looked up: "Nagato, have you abandoned our ideals of peace?"

Payne paused for a moment, then replied, "No, I just changed my approach."

"We were too naive before. People only truly grow up after experiencing pain."

Those who do not understand suffering will never understand what peace is.

"I want to bring peace to the world in my own way!"

Payne announced firmly.

Kyusuke stared at Pain, finding Nagato utterly unfamiliar: "Nagato, no matter what you've been through, aren't you now exactly in line with Madara Uchiha's wishes?"

Payne's expression changed slightly, and he remained silent for a long time.

He remained silent in the face of Kyusuke's repeated questioning.

After a long while, he gently shook his head.

Xiao Nan sighed and muttered, "Reincarnation in the Impure World, release!"

Kyusuke suddenly felt his body become light, as if his soul was being drawn away from his body.

He couldn't help but shout, "Nagato! Don't fall into the trap of conspiracy!"

"As a war orphan, during those days of wandering and helplessness, Akatsuki was the first ray of hope I saw, Nagato!"

"I will never forget that morning, when the sun was rising."

"The eldest brother named the organization 'Xiao'."

He said, "This war-torn, tear-stricken nation needs us to be the dawn of change..."

The sound gradually faded and eventually disappeared.

Pain stared out the window, his chakra surging within him.

Xiao Nan looked at him with concern.

“Nagato.…”

Pain's chakra returned to normal, and he said coldly, "Let's go find Uchiha Kawasaki; he knows more about the inside story!"

...

The Land of Fields, the Village of Sound Ninja.

In Orochimaru's laboratory.

In the original world, although the Fifth Hokage was Tsunade, that was after the Third Hokage suddenly passed away.

Tsunade couldn't bear to see her grandfather's hard work ruined by Danzo, so she took on the responsibility of becoming the Fifth Hokage.

In fact, Tsunade's relationship with the village is not harmonious at present.

Kawasaki didn't believe Danzo hadn't been involved, as the deaths of Nawaki and Dan were too hasty.

Whether Danzo made the decision privately or with the tacit approval of the Third Hokage remains unknown.

The successors of the Thousand Hands were either dead or insane.

The rest of the Senju clan perished because of their attempt to copy Wood Release.

As the Sarutobi clan grew in power, Danzo began to covet the Hokage position.

From the perspective of the ultimate beneficiaries, both Danzo and the third generation are suspects.

Kawasaki chuckled sinisterly: "Orochimaru, do you want to be Hokage?"

"Naruto?"

Orochimaru chewed on the word.

He didn't actually have a deep obsession with becoming Hokage; he was just resentful because the old man had chosen Minato instead of him back then.

However, apart from the five major foreign countries, the shadows of other countries are not recognized once they leave the village.

Therefore, one rarely hears of names like Takikage, Kusakage, or Usakage.

Orochimaru had lost much interest in becoming the Kage of a village; pursuing the truth was his lifelong ambition.
