Chapter 202 Nagato's Konoha Journey
Daming Mansion, Land of Fire, night.
Since the new guests came to the Daming Mansion, the hidden defense force has increased instead.
But for a real top ninja, it is still almost the same as being undefended.
Nagato entered without warning and returned to the room he was in.
He took off the mask immediately, stared at it for a long time, and suddenly threw it away angrily.
When he came to the bathroom, he rubbed his face hard, trying to let the cold water freeze the distracting thoughts in his heart.
He had recently heard that the Daming Mansion of the Land of Fire was about to make changes to the Land of Rain, so he went ahead of schedule to remove the last obstacle to the Land of Rain.
It wasn't his dream, but the dream of someone he had championed in the past.
Treat it as a farewell gift—he persuaded himself.
In fact, he did.
But he didn't expect to meet Konan and the others.
I didn't expect that my mood was far less peaceful than I imagined.
He wiped the water from his face and looked at himself in the mirror.
There is not much difference from before, except for the smile.
He looked at his face, then at his red hair.
I'm a little lucky that I covered it early at that time.
And a little annoyed that they didn't recognize themselves.
The contradictory mentality made him unable to calm down for a long time.
"At least, from now on, the two will not owe each other."
Nagato picked up the water again and was about to wash off and go to sleep.
At this time, his ears moved, and a slight movement in the room caught his attention.
But soon, he relaxed again.
A familiar figure of Uchiha Madara appeared at the door. He leaned there and asked plainly, "Have you gone to the Land of Rain?"
Nagato was upset and explained: "I just went to collect a corpse. A large part of the reason why Sunagakure did not win in the end was because there were not enough materials for Impure World Reincarnation? If Hanzō of the Salamander is added, maybe we can still can again-"
Uchiha Madara interrupted: "You know that's not what I'm going to say."
Nagato choked, and said a little angrily: "Then I bid farewell to the past, is this a good reason?"
Uchiha Madara's proud height looked down at him, shaking his head slightly: "No, there's a good reason for that."
He turned back and walked to the living room, and continued: "I have never restricted your freedom. I just want to say that there is no need to hide this kind of thing from me. Do you know that shortly after you left, Uchiha Yuye and Hyuga Mio appeared in the Land of Rain?"
Nagato was startled when he heard this, he stopped thinking about washing and chased after him, "They."
Nagato's strength is indeed enough to run rampant in the ninja world, but the premise is that he can't meet the top few people.
As for those few people, Xianyin Island accounted for three.
With their hostile relationship, Nagato really met outside alone, without even a chance to escape.
Uchiha Madara sat down on the sofa and made himself a pot of tea. During this time, without Orochimaru's help with chores, he felt tired for a long time.
He gestured for Nagato to sit down beside him, and said, "They were naturally preparing to deal with the matter of Hanzō of the Salamander in the past. The current changes in the Kingdom of Rain are what they want to see, and they will naturally help at critical moments. You can get the news from the Nation of Fire and know that they need help, but you haven't considered Xianyin Island's reaction to the news. It seems that your growth in the past few years has been affected by the war, so it is not very ideal."
Nagato was a little ashamed, he really didn't think carefully about this matter.
Fortunately, he rushed over as soon as he thought of it. Otherwise, if he was a little delayed, he would really meet people from Xianyin Island and be unable to come back.
Uchiha Madara just woke up Nagato, and didn't criticize too much in this matter.
He turned around: "Tell me, I haven't met my companion for a long time, how do you feel?"
Nagato stared at Uchiha Madara, who was invited to drink tea, and was stunned for a moment.
Perhaps it was when he was mentally fragile, seeing everything with a filter, but at this moment he had an inexplicable illusion of having a heart-to-heart conversation with his parents at night.
Nagato hid his emotions, sat down next to him, and said, "Actually, there is nothing to say, maybe it's just hurting the scene. Seeing them familiar, I feel somewhat emotional."
Uchiha Madara glanced at him: "Want to go back in time?"
Nagato nodded, then shook his head quickly: "Who doesn't want to go back to the past? It's just that the past never goes back. They...are false after all."
Uchiha Madara looked at him: "You should know, that's their soul. Is the body important?"
Nagato sneered: "I do know that is their soul, huh, how could I not know? You have demonstrated many times over the years, haven't you?"
He's talking about Orochimaru Impure World Reincarnation footage, which Nagato has indeed seen too many.
But it is also because I have seen too much.
Nagato said with a little resentment: "In the end, it's just a means to manipulate the soul. Impure World Reincarnation? No, it's Forbidden Technique, Ninjutsu, Summoning, it's not accurate, it's just a kind of soul puppetry. We The soul is the self, our free thinking is the self, and the soul controlled by others is no longer the original person."
"Uchiha's resurrection of them is just a method like Orochimaru's to use them and manipulate their souls to do what he wants. Now, they are just more advanced puppets."
"It's not so much that I want to go back to the past, it's better to say that I want to gain stronger power in the future as soon as possible, kill Uchiha Yuye, let them return to themselves, return to the real them!"
Uchiha Madara didn't drink the tea hanging in his mouth for a while.
To be honest, he was a little surprised.
Not because Nagato was right.
Because Madara knows the truth, that kind of resurrection is more advanced than Impure World Reincarnation.
More importantly, although as an enemy, Madara doesn't think that Uchiha Yuye will play with the souls of those two children.
Of course, this kind of misleading is what he did to Nagato, and he used illusion and Sharingan to strengthen it.
But the problem now is that Nagato's reaction was more aggressive than Uchiha Madara expected.
This is, a little embarrassing.
Because after chatting with Daimyo of the Fire Nation, he gradually brought up Black Zetsu to replace Orochimaru, and he himself will be free now to prepare for his own resurrection.
Now that Nagato's loyalty has been tested, he's been hesitating lately whether to lend Rinnegan to Nagato first, giving him a chance to resurrect himself with his life.
With Rinnegan's resurrection, he will be at his peak when the time comes.
But now it seems that because of his influence, Nagato now overly rejects the resurrection from the dead.
Even Uchiha Madara wondered if Nagato would think that the resurrected him would no longer be him if he proposed this plan, so there would be some mistakes.
"Hey"
Uchiha Madara put down the teacup and rubbed his forehead with a headache. This feeling of cocooning is very annoying.
And if this path fails, Nagato is unreliable, Black Zetsu is unreliable, then there seems to be only one way to get rid of the current physical predicament.
That is to elevate one's life level to the dimension of a fairy, and use the leap of life level to offset the wear and tear on the body of decades.
In the final analysis, we still have to gather tailed beasts.
"What's wrong?"
Hearing Uchiha Madara's sigh, Nagato wondered for a moment whether his words made Uchiha Madara dissatisfied, and felt uneasy.
Uchiha Madara shook his head: "It's nothing. By the way, Konoha sent people to the Daimyo Mansion recently."
Nagato asked curiously: "Damyo said, the plan of two-way communication with Konoha?"
As the strongest ninja village in Jinchūriki, Konoha is naturally the focus of their strategy.
As for Konoha's information, it is necessary to maximize the acquisition.
The existence of the White Zetsu is known, and it is impossible to rely entirely on it.
We can only use the most primitive and most effective method - planting spies in the past.
The two-way communication proposed by Damingfu is exactly this.
Uchiha Madara smiled and said: "He actually wanted to take this opportunity to get some experts from Konoha to protect his own safety and put pressure on us."
Of course, this pressure does not actually exist.
But it's the same difference as having a knife in your hand or not having a knife. The difference is not how high the winning rate is when facing the beast, it's just for the comfort in your heart.
Uchiha Madara continued: "They suggested that Konoha send some ninjas as guardian ninjas."
Usually, the ninjas around the daimyo generally have little to do with their ninja village.
After all, if even the guardians around him are Ninja Village, then if Ninja Village has two hearts, the threat to the daimyo will be more direct.
This time, the daimyo suggested that Konoha send twelve Jōnin, which was already beyond Konoha's expectation.
But on Konoha's side, because of the daimyo's request, they quickly agreed.
At present, the number of ninjas has been determined, and they will be delivered after a while.
These are ninjas with some fame on the battlefield, from the Moonlight family, from the Shiranui family, and the youngest, Sarutobi Asuma from the Sarutobi family.
Uchiha Madara said: "Their candidates have been decided, and our side will send them over immediately."
Only then did Nagato react, "You mean, I'll go to Konoha too?"
Uchiha Madara nodded: "You can't pin all your hopes on that daimyo who doesn't go there once in a few years. We must have our own people to be reliable, and"
Madara said that there is a rare hesitation here, and it seems difficult to speak.
He finally took a breath and said: "After you pass by, pay special attention to the married life of that Namikaze Minato."
Married life naturally does not refer to weird things, such things even if Nagato wants to find out, Uchiha Madara is actually talking about when Kushina was pregnant.
The biggest obstacle for them to collect tailed beasts is Xianyin Island and Konoha.
The tailed beast on Xianyin Island was dealt with at the end of the war.
But Konoha's side is not only powerful, but more importantly, the two tailed beasts Jinchūriki themselves are also strong.
If you want to achieve your goal, you can only find some disgraceful times.
This is really hard for Uchiha Madara to say.
Although a ninja, Madara has always disdained to be too rough in behavior.
But now the situation is pressing, and there are not many people around him who can be used.
When the time comes. It depends.
Nagato didn't think there was any problem. This was the ninja style he understood. It was a normal choice to take advantage of people's illness and kill people.
Seeing this, Uchiha Madara continued: "As for the identity, let me borrow the identity of the team member sent by the daimyo. White Zetsu is with you."
Anyway, when the time comes, the person sent by the daimyo will be fine if one dies, and they won't be found when they turn around.
And White Zetsu can be used as a parasite to help Nagato complete the shape change. Even the white eyes can't see through that level of disguise, except for those who are very close to discover the small details of the original owner.
After some explanation, Uchiha Madara left.
Nagato was lying on the sofa, unable to sleep.
I didn't expect to leave as soon as I came back, and to a strange place.
The name Konoha, his earliest cognition was that his parents died at the hands of Konoha Shinobi.
Later, it was the hometown of Teacher Jiraiya, and then the birthplace of Uchiha Yuye, the hostile ninja village on the battlefield
"Konoha?"
...
The Daming Mansion of the Land of Fire moved very quickly.
Two days later, two teams of guards and ninjas showed up outside Konoha Village.
The leader of the team is Jōnin, who used to be in charge of guarding the Daimyo of the Fire Nation.
"Nagazawa, it's your turn."
Jōnin registered the information and asked the team members to get their residence permits one by one.
The young man who fell at the end looked like he had just grown up, and he followed in a daze.
And he is the amalgamation of Nagato and White Zetsu.
White Zetsu covered the surface of his body, making him look more robust, and no one could recognize him compared to the former Bean Sprouts.
His identity was also secretly replaced. The original boy was a genius boy who studied with the ninja of the Daming Prefecture halfway.
Of course, being a genius only refers to the standard of ordinary wandering ninjas.
If it is placed on a Konoha, it is probably above average, and it is within the range of wood that can be made.
Nagato received the documents, looked at Konoha's gate, feeling a little emotional.
He really came. He was clearly on both sides of the battle not long ago, but now he came in lurking in a logical way, which feels inexplicable.
"After entering, study hard and watch carefully."
"Yashu, you are still young, you can apply to go to the ninja school to see the courses."
"Nagazawa, you guys have the basic self-protection ability, you can follow their ninjas to see how the entrusted mission is done."
The leader Jōnin took the trouble to explain their next mission.
There are places for the young and the moderate.
As for what the leader and the adult ninjas did, they didn't say anything.
Of course, Nagato is not difficult to guess, their main task is to figure out all aspects of Konoha.
From structure to power, from ninjas to civilians, from policies to public opinion.
They are by no means simply saying that they are looking for information for Uchiha Madara, but they have their own considerations.
This kind of calculation can already be said to be a crisis of trust between the Daming Mansion and Konoha.
Konoha probably could detect it, but they didn't dare to refuse directly because of the name.
Nagato soon took up residence near the center of Konoha, along with two other people of the same age.
It has to be said that although Konoha does not look as spectacular as the capital of the Daming Prefecture, the way it lives and works in peace and contentment is extraordinarily warm.
Even Nagato, who became an orphan because of Konoha and fought against Konoha, has to say that Konoha is indeed a suitable place to settle.
In less than half a month, he actually started to sleep in.
After successive internships at the task entrustment office, he has a little understanding of Konoha's method of making money.
As for the target that Uchiha Madara said to be monitored, no movement has been seen so far.
It is estimated that Namikaze Minato is still busy, and the two have not seen any signs of pregnancy for the time being.
"I'm afraid it will take a while longer."
Nagato was just like the old days. He didn't finish his breakfast until almost nine o'clock in the morning and went to the practice office.
When the time came, I saw the team leader Jōnin after a long absence.
Jōnin looked at him slightly dissatisfied: "You learned to enjoy first."
Nagato said nothing, Nagasawa himself is a dull and straightforward image.
Jōnin did not continue to be harsh, but said a little seriously: "Today, Konoha has an important task, and I won a place for you to accompany the team."
Nagato thought he had finally come to live, and judging by Jōnin's attitude, the task seemed not easy.
Jōnin was about to say something more, but when he saw the white-haired boy come out with a mission, he said shortly: "This mission involves the internal affairs of other countries, how Konoha behaves, and the situation of the country over there, you can find opportunities Understand well."
Nagato nodded, but looked at the target he was going to follow this time, a little astonished.
That white-haired boy was none other than Hatake Kakashi.
