Chapter 28 The real mastermind! (4k) (Ch 28)

When Hatosuke, Yahiko and Konan arrived.
He could only watch from a distance of several hundred meters as the Outer Path Golem and Bunta fought.
Just the roar of the aftermath of the collision between the two bodies was deafening, and they had to flee everywhere, dodging the rubble and flying wood.
“Damn it, no matter what we say, Nagato and Jiraiya-sensei can’t hear it at all.” Yahiko said unwillingly.
He had never been so eager to become stronger and gain power.
Without a certain level of strength, you are not even qualified to participate.
After observing for so long, Hatosuke has already seen the decline of Jiraiya and Gamabunta.
He immediately made a new decision: “I’m afraid Jiraiya-sensei won’t be able to hold on for much longer.”
Nagato never gave Jiraiya the opportunity to use the summoning technique again to summon the two toad sages and activate the sage mode.
The ninjutsu he released had to be countered by Jiraiya and Gamabunta with ninjutsu of the same magnitude.
On the other hand, when facing ninjutsu, Nagato only needs to use that strange blue shield to block it, and he can also absorb chakra as a supplement.
“Konan, you stay here and take Jiraiya-sensei back when the battle is over.”
“Yahiko, follow me.”
“Konan, I’m leaving teacher Jiraiya in your care.”
Yahiko followed Yuusuke’s steps and left.
Nagato, who was controlling the Outer Path Statue to fight Jiraiya, was not paying attention to anything else and did not notice the arrival of Yahiko and the other two.
He didn’t even know that Yuusuke and Yahiko had already headed in the direction he was about to go.
Prepare to meet him after he finishes the battle.
“Teacher Jiraiya, give up.”
“You are no longer my opponent now that you can’t rely on the power of the immortal.”
Nagato stood on top of the Outer Path Demon Statue, looking down at his teacher.
If he could help it, he didn’t want to fight Jiraiya.
But what he was about to do next was too dangerous and it even concerned his parents’ lives.
He had already prepared for the worst in his mind: if the rescue failed, he would die there with his parents.
At least, don’t implicate Jiraiya-sensei…
“I’m sorry, Jiraiya, I can only help you up to this point.” Gamabunta said helplessly in a hoarse voice.
At this point, it was already covered in wounds and had no strength to continue fighting.
Jiraiya patted his old friend on the head, “Thanks, that’s enough, Bunta.”
Bang.
Gamabunta’s huge body disappeared and returned to Mount Myoboku.
Jiraiya looked up at his disciple with mixed feelings.
I don’t know whether I should be happy for Nagato’s growth or feel bitter because of the taste of defeat: “They were kidnapped by the ninjas from the Hidden Cloud Village, right?”
The Outer Path Demon Statue also disappeared at this moment. Nagato stood there, lowered his head silently, and clenched his fists: “Teacher Jiraiya, if you knew, you shouldn’t have come to stop me.”
Nagato walked straight towards Jiraiya, and had no intention of stopping until he was right in front of him.
When passing by.
Jiraiya turned around and tried to look at Nagato.
Nagato’s figure suddenly disappeared.
“Thank you for your guidance over the past five years, Jiraiya-sensei.”
The words came from behind.
The next moment, Jiraiya felt the chakra in his body rapidly draining away: “Nagato, you…”
“Sorry, I need more chakra to face the next enemy.”
Jiraiya’s body slowly fell down, and Nagato continued forward without looking back.
“Konan, I’m asking you to take Jiraiya-sensei back.”
Although his chakra was replenished, Nagato was still affected by mental and physical fatigue.
He had to slow down.
Jiraiya told him to calm down and stay rational.
Nagato did exactly that. From beginning to end, he knew exactly what he was doing.
The enemy’s target is himself, and he cannot drag his companions into this trap.
Now, mom and dad are in the hands of the enemy, and the enemy only needs to quietly lead them over and fall into the trap.
This is dangerous, but also an opportunity.
With the help of the power of these eyes, he is still confident that he can successfully rescue his parents.
Dad, Mom, wait for me.
Nagato headed northeast, but not long after, the familiar voice appeared again.
“That was Jiraiya-sensei just now.”
“Now, you two want to stop me too?”
“Kyusuke, Yahiko.”
Nagato was ready to end the fight as quickly as possible without hurting either of them.
Yahiko wanted to step forward, but was stopped by Yuusuke.
“Nagato, we are not here to stop you.”
Nagato looked at the two indifferently: “Your power is too weak, useless, and may even implicate me.”
I’m sorry, for your safety I have to be rude.
Please go back quickly, please.
“Nagato, how could you say such a thing? Aren’t we companions?!” Yahiko’s heart was boiling over, his emotions like a gas tank that had exploded.
Jiusuke nodded. He did not deny what Nagato said, but continued: “You are right. Our power really can’t do anything.”
“We don’t need to do that.”
Nagato’s words were enough to make Yahiko explode.
Now, what Habusuke said made Yahiko want to punch him in the face. Do you want to listen to what you are saying?
Aren’t we companions?
Nagato fell into deep thought. He had no idea what tricks Jiusuke was playing: “So what are you going to do?”
“I need you to find a way to get the word out about who the enemy is. Yahiko and I will observe from a safe distance.”
“Different villages have different colored flares.”
“If you die, we will take revenge on them by any means necessary.”
Hatosuke knew very well what kind of person Nagato was. He was too kind, usually taciturn, and endured many things by himself silently.
He said this on purpose because he didn’t want Nagato to face the enemy with the mentality that he would die.
At worst, I’ll die with my parents.
This attitude is absolutely unacceptable.
Even though it was a bit despicable, as long as he said so, Nagato would not let himself, Yahiko, and other companions live in revenge from now on.
He will definitely be more vigilant, which will at least help Nagato’s next action by 10%.
It is also to obtain accurate intelligence about the enemy.
Kumogakure is just information guessed by Hatosuke and is not necessarily true.
From Nagato’s expression, Hatosuke could roughly determine that even Nagato himself was not clear who the enemy was.
The fact that the enemy was able to kidnap Nagato’s parents means that they must have some of their people in the Hidden Rain Village.
Even if it’s for the sake of the Hidden Rain Village, Nagato must take the risk.
This is the answer that Jiusuke came up with after thinking along the way!
After staring at Jiusuke for a long time, Nagato finally agreed to his plan: “Okay.”
The three of them set out together, heading towards the Land of Hot Springs.
…
In Konoha Village, when Harumitsu received the news from Gamako Kousuke in the middle of the night, he immediately set off and followed the trail that Nagato had left earlier with Hatake Sakumo.
Until they met Konan who was carrying Jiraiya back.
Haruki also learned from Konan the reason why Nagato left.
“Sakumo, go follow them. Don’t let them notice. Act according to circumstances.”
“If you can save Nagato’s parents, just do it at the critical moment.”
“If there is no chance, use the Flying Thunder God Formation to leave immediately after confirming the enemy’s identity.”
“Yes, Lord Hokage.” Hatake Sakumo summoned a pug.
“Palu, please.”
Following the scent left by Nagato, Yahiko, and Kakusuke, the pug moved quickly with its short legs to lead the way for Sakumo.
The Anbu ninja began to use ninjutsu to restore the surrounding environment, and finally ended it with Harumi’s Wood Release.
This place is not far from Konoha Village, less than a hundred miles away. If large-scale destruction is left here, it will make the villagers feel uneasy.
Then the Anbu ninjas dispersed and left.
At this time, Jiraiya looked at Harumitsu and said, “Harumitsu, if you are willing to take action, Nagato will not have the chance to leave. Why do you let him do such a dangerous thing?”
To be honest, Jiraiya didn’t understand why Haruki, who was always kind and gentle, acted in this style this time.
It’s like he doesn’t care about Nagato’s safety at all.
“Teacher Jiraiya, stop talking.” Konan, who was carrying Jiraiya, said in a low voice.
“Konan, you go back first.” Jiraiya staggered to his feet.
Xiaonan didn’t know what to say at this point.
In her opinion, as the Hokage of Konoha Village, Haruki has already given quite good treatment and conditions to the exchange students from the Hidden Rain Village.
Even let a powerful ninja like Jiraiya guide them in their training.
She had no right to complain about why Haruki didn’t stop Nagato.
After all, they are ninjas from Rain Village.
After Konan left, Haruki answered the question Jiraiya had just asked.
“He is the child of prophecy. If he can’t even save his own family, how can he save the ninja world and bring peace to the world in the future?”
Jiraiya was speechless, not knowing what to say, unable to refute Haruki’s words.
“Jiraiya, I’ve said before that I don’t believe in the so-called prophecy. I just believe in you.”
“In my eyes, Nagato and the other students sent by the Hidden Rain Village are the same. The educational resources Konoha has allocated to the nine of them even far exceed those of other peers in Konoha Village.”
“This is all based on the alliance between Konoha and the Hidden Rain Village. It’s an agreement reached between Hanzo and me.”
After saying this, Qingguang turned and left without saying anything more.
His previous doubts about Myoboku Mountain had been confirmed not long ago when he was studying fairy arts.
I also learned a lot of information from the living slug and the white snake fairy.
In the future, sooner or later he will break into Myoboku Mountain with the White Snake Immortal. Even if he doesn’t destroy it completely, he will kill the Big Toad Immortal.
This was a good opportunity for Jiraiya to realize the falsity of the so-called prophecy.
As for the murderer who kidnapped Nagato’s parents.
It couldn’t possibly be Kumogakure, it could only be Uchiha Madara.
Based on Nagato’s departure this time, Haruki can be sure that Madara has already found a way to avoid malicious perception.
Judging from the current situation, Madara did not look for a successor to the Moon Eye Project among the Uchiha, but instead chose Nagato.
Using this information, Qingguang can analyze a lot of intelligence.
Madara’s method of circumventing malicious perception is very limited, and it must be extremely inconvenient for him, and may even require him to pay a certain price.
As the successor of the Moon Eye Project, Nagato will, in a sense, be more terrifying than Obito in the past.
The strength is stronger, but the ability to survive is relatively weakened.
The ability of virtualization is still very authoritative, and Qingguang has no doubts about it.
Similarly, Harukitsu can also use Nagato’s existence to find opportunities to attack other tailed beasts.
There are not many things in the ninja world that can help him clean up his mess now, and the tailed beasts are his next main target.
…
Hatake Sakumo and Nagato’s group maintained a safe distance of more than ten kilometers to ensure that they did not enter Nagato’s perception range.
Two days later, Nagato, Kusuke and Yahiko arrived at the border of Yunokuni and were about to set off for Tansho Street.
Yahiko complained, “They clearly asked you to come over, but they just said it was Tansho Street, and didn’t say where in Tansho Street.”
“It’s really inexplicable.”
“Don’t act rashly. This means that the entire Tansho Street may have been covered by enemy spies.” Jiusuke reminded in a low voice.
Nagato immediately understood what Yusuke meant and began to sense it.
Sure enough, with him as the center, there were at least hundreds of ninjas distributed around him.
“According to the plan we talked about before, you should leave first. The enemy should not attack you.”
“They were targeting me.”
Jiusuke nodded and dragged Yahiko away.
Nagato crossed the street at the fastest speed and ran towards the woods in the distance.
Over there, he sensed his mother’s chakra.
Even the commoners of the Uzumaki clan have life energy in their bodies that far exceeds that of ordinary people; they just don’t know how to use it.
Until he entered the depths of a huge and empty cave.
He immediately saw his parents tied up in the cave.
whoosh!
A kunai fell in front of Nagato.
“I knew you would come, Nagato.”
“No, I should call you Uzumaki Nagato.” Shou stood upside down on the top of the cave, grinning at Nagato.
Seeing this familiar face, Nagato frowned.
This was the ninja who used Explosive Release that we encountered in the Hidden Star Village at that time. It turned out that he was the one who escaped and let the Hidden Stone Village know his information.
“Don’t make any mistake, those two words are not in my name.”
The moment he finished speaking, Nagato rushed towards Shou at his fastest speed.
There is only Kari here, but the hundreds of ninjas who were monitoring him just now will arrive here in less than a minute.
Combined with the environment here and the identity of the other party, who is an Iwagakure ninja.
The enemy wanted to use his parents as bait to surround and kill him inside.
The thick rock cave was designed to limit his Super Shinra Tensei, and there was a high probability that Iwagakure had already set up a trap.
He and his parents will be buried alive here.
Hunting is also a discarded pawn that can be abandoned at any time.
Therefore, he must kill Shou within a minute and take his parents out of the cave!
“Earth Escape: Earthquake Core!”
After making a seal, several stone pillars suddenly appeared in front of Nagato.
He used the momentum to rise step by step, approached Shou, and clapped his hands.
The strong wind blew up sand and gravel, blocking the hunter’s vision.
Shou immediately realized Nagato’s intention, his eyes turned red, and he didn’t care about Nagato rushing towards him.
Instead, he clenched his fists and hit the forehead of the rock cave above with a crazy look on his face.
“Explosive Style: Land Mine Fist!”
Watching Nagato shouting, “Captain, I’ve avenged you!”
The captain was captured by Nagato and when he returned, he had become a disabled person. He committed suicide a few days later.
Even a few days after the captain’s death, the deputy captain discovered that she was pregnant.
If the captain had known this a few days earlier, would he not have chosen to commit suicide and would he have had hope of living?
The culprit of all this is the red-haired kid in front of me!
Captain, today, I will avenge you, the vice-captain, and your future children!
Let his entire family be buried with you, Captain!
The earth was shaking and the mountain was trembling. The hundred-meter-high mountain had already been tampered with by hundreds of rock hermits.
The hunter destroyed the balance point and the mountain collapsed in an instant!
